Tenryuji (天龍寺) is the most important temple in Kyoto's Arashiyama district. It was ranked first among the city's five great Zen temples, and is now registered as a world heritage site. Built in 1339, Tenryuji's buildings were repeatedly lost in fires and wars over the centuries, and most of the buildings as they stand today are reconstructions from the latter half of the Meiji period. The garden to the west of the abbey, created by Musō Soseki, shows only traces of its original design. [Source: japan-guide.com mostly]

Nestled in the Italian Riviera coastline lies Portofino originally a fishing village with its cobbled square overlooking a picturesque harbour with panoramic views. Inspired by this area is a stunning public region with limited private rental homes.

Now this image was hard for me to do....In my minds eye I see something different than how this turned out. Although it's not how I wanted the image to look...I'm still very pleased with the results.

In a realm cloaked in the folds of whimsy, nestled the land of Plushshire, where the sentient stufflings—Stufflepuffs and Tedwardians—dwelt in a fabric-bound fraternity. This was until the day the Revolt of the Cuddly Toys unfurled, stitching dissent between the Hoppington Hares of Fluffborough and the Bearington Bears of Pawston.

 

Our plush protagonist, Sir Cuddleton Patchworthy, was a Bearwardian of great renown. His valor was famed throughout the Tusslemeadows of Thimbleton, and in the fray, he became threadbare, a hero frayed but not defeated.

 

Sir Cuddleton, knight of the revered Wovenkeep, possessed knowledge of the arcane Twirlwinds—a spellthread capable of reweaving the most tattered of toy souls. In his recovery, tended by the crafty paws of Madam Purlina Webwhisker, the sage of Seams, Patchworthy contemplated the raveled threads of war.

 

The Neverolds, eternal children of Plushshire, observed the fray through teary glass eyes. In their wisdom, they conceived a plot most playful: the Larkspur Labyrinth, a playground so beguiling that no stuffed soldier could resist its siren song of serenity. Here, in this haven of hilarity, the disheartened warriors laid down their cotton cudgels and embraced their erstwhile enemies.

 

Sir Cuddleton Patchworthy, now adorned with the emblem of empathy began his most important quest. He traversed Plushshire, from the cushiony hills of Napvale to the silken sands of Drowsy Dunes, spinning tales of solace and stitching unity into the fabric of every toy's being.

 

And so, the yarn of the Revolt of the Cuddly Toys unwound to an uneasy stillness. Plushshire was suspended in a delicate balance, as if the very air held its breath. Sir Cuddleton Patchworthy, erstwhile warrior, now dubbed 'The Tranquil,' became a legend in hush tones and half-whispers.

 

For in the shadows of playtime's joy and the soft echoes of laughter, there lingered a thread of unease. The Neverolds knew, as all who've watched the cycle of tales unfold, that darkness can restitch itself anew. And as the moonlight danced upon the Larkspur Labyrinth, they wondered quietly: would the stitches of peace hold, or would they unravel in the silent whispers of the night?

Thank you for your visit and support!

After feeding on whole fish or squid delivered by a parent, this week old hatchling gets some warming time. Manu o Kū is also known throughout the tropics as the white tern (Gygis alba). They are arboreal nesting seabirds, though no nest is actually constructed. These terns lay a single egg in a hollow or forked branch of a tree to incubate and raise a chick. Strong sharp claws and reduced webbing on their feet facilitate clutching on to a bare branch. This nest in the outer branches of a monkey pod tree swayed considerably in the strong wind of a passing storm that made it difficult for the tending parents to land in the thick canopy. But all were able to hang on.

Nestled between the Canadian Rockies is this quaint little town known as Banff. It's the hub and the place to be while visiting Banff National Park in Alberta, Ca. Enjoy!

The sunrise vista from last year's trip to the Gostwyck Chapel is still very much alive and crisp in my memory.

 

Thanks to all of you for your time, comments and favs. Truly appreciated..

Had my first real opportunity to get out with the camera since before Christmas today, so headed to Shingle Street for sunrise. This is the first light catching the frozen pebbles of the shibgle banks
