Potentille frutescente, Golden hardhack, Ölandstok

*(Potentilla fruticosa, Dasiphora fruticosa)

We walked passed this church and graveyard earlier on, and when I saw the gate, I knew what I had to do! Definitely got my square brain on.

El espectáculo natural de las Tres Cimas de Lavaredo es algo que no se puede explicar con palabras: es un paisaje sobrecogedor que te deja sin habla; una hermosa desolación.

Cuando me encontraba allí, recuerdo que se me pasó por la cabeza que ese sitio, o muy parecido, era lo que había en mi imaginación cuando, leyendo por primera vez "El Señor de los Anillos", se describía el territorio de Mordor y el Monte del Destino.

I was knocking around on my own on the Outer Banks and thought I would go out to Bodie lighthouse for sunrise. I drove half way there and decided that Avalon Pier would give the better shots that morning. I think the decision turned out pretty good, don't you?

These exuberant Petunias growing at summer's end remind me of youthful days gone by.

"Those were the days, my friend

We thought they'd never end

We'd sing and dance forever and a day

We'd live the life we'd choose

We'd fight and never lose

For we were young and sure to have our way ..."

~ Songwriter, Gene Raskin

Last minute decision against the W.E. Hill & Sons varnish cleaner bottle, and for the dishwasher tab. Did some last adjustments for it in LR today, and just for fun added a vignette - and the Evil Eye appeared.

Thank you for your kind comments, I appreciate every single one, and your faves!

Bei der Suche nach etwas Giftigem im Haushalt fand ich ein Lackreiniger-Fläschchen von W.E. Hill & Sons mit hübschem Logo und Warnzeichen und ein Spülmaschinentab. Eigentlich hatte ich mich auch schon für das Fläschchen entschieden, aber bei letzten Anpassungen am Spüler-Tab rein zum Spaß heute in LR habe ich entdeckt, dass mit Vignette ein Auge aus dem giftigen Teilchen entsteht. Daher fiel die Wahl in letzter Minute doch auf das Tab.

Vielen Dank für Eure tollen Kommentare und Faves!

A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!

Petite planète florale

"The ideal of beauty is simplicity and tranquility." ~Johann Wolfgang van Goethe~

Bürgerpark Wernigerode/Harz GER

Anlässlich der Landesgartenschau Wernigerode im Jahre 2006 entstand der heute als Bürgerpark bekannte, 15 ha große Landschaftspark. Dieser wird durchzogen von einem breiten Band aus mehr als 60 Themengärten. Bestandteil des Bürgerparkes ist einer der schönsten Miniaturenparks Deutschlands. Dieser zeigt etwa 60 kulturhistorisch interessante Bauwerke des Harzes in einer faszinierenden Miniaturlandschaft mit Zwerggehölzen, Felsen und Wasserläufen.

#Freitagsblümchen

#PurpleDay

A sunny, colourful shrub for Friday :) Photographed back in April 2018 at the Britzer Garten, one of the most beautiful public parks in Berlin. I was attracted by the beautiful purple leaves of this plant, and I think this could be a purple smoke bush (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Yesterday I've also learned that 26 March is "Purple Day", the international epilepsy awareness day, so it's a nice coincidence that I had planned to upload this purple-leaved beauty for this week's Freitagsblümchen (friday flora). "Purple Day" was founded in 2008 by then 9-year-old Cassidy Megan in order to help to "dispel common myths and fears of this neurological disorder" and "to reduce the social stigmas commonly endured by many individuals afflicted with the condition." (source: Wikipedia) Thank you Just call me, Paul for bringing this special day to our attention. This is the official website of Purple Day: Strg/Ctrl+ www.purpleday.org/.

Wishing you a Happy and safe weekend, dear Flickr friends!

Diesen hübschen Strauch (bei dem es sich um einen Perückenstrauch handeln könnte) habe ich im April 2018 im Britzer Garten, einer der größten und schönsten Parkanlagen Berlins, fotografiert. Freitag ist ja auch "Blümchenzeit" auf Flickr – aber dieser Freitag ist auch etwas ganz Besonderes, denn jedes Jahr am 26. März wird der "Purple Day" (Lilatag) begangen, der im Jahr 2008 von der damals neunjährigen, an Epilepsie erkrankten Cassidy Megan initiiert wurde, mit dem Ziel, über diese Erkrankung aufzuklären und Vorurteile über Epilepsie und auch gegenüber an Epilepsie Erkrankten abzubauen. In Kanada, dem Heimatland von Cassidy Megan, ist der Purple Day seit 2012 offiziell anerkannt. Mehr über den Purple Day findet Ihr auf der offiziellen Webseite: Strg/Ctrl+ www.purpleday.org/.

Ich wünsche Euch ein schönes Wochenende, passt weiter gut auf Euch auf und bleibt gesund!
