Otra más de este espectáculo de la naturaleza. Deseando que llegue el otoño para volver a visitarla con otro vestido. Esta primavera mis tarjetas SD hacen agua y verdín.

blessing of Cossack. Without the blessing of God, no matter can not have success. Blessing involves the transfer of real power. It can powerfully influence the lives of those who have received the blessing. The kissing of the priest’s hand, which occurs when he gives the cross and blesses, has a special spiritual and moral significance. Receiving grace from God through the cross or priestly blessing, a person mentally kisses the invisible hand of God, which gives him this grace..The Cossacks of Russia, first of all, are the Cossacks, who appeared on the Don, the Lower Volga and the Urals.
The first official mention in Russian sources of the "Cossacks" refers to the XVI century.

THE DARKNESS EVENT (APRIL 5th to APRIL 28th)
SLURL EVENT :
Today's Smile on Saturday theme is full of memories. A very interesting theme, but hard for me. I have so many wonderful memories. Many of them revolve around our boat and the family and friends who joined us cruising. But even limiting myself to boating photos, there were so many truly awesome places that we visited, I couldn't chose one. So I chose this one - an everyday type of place and scene. Put it in mono since it's a memory now, as is our boat, which we sold in early 2020.

Macro Mondays theme Made of Metal
Tension Spring rescued from the floor of the car, probably fallen off during the many times we have moved our kids between rented properties as students and since. It was destined for the bin but I took a shine to it and squirrelled it away.

Happy Macro Mondays! 😊

“That’s the magic of literature. We read a story, and something happens. We don’t know what or why, nor which sentence was responsible, but the world has changed and will never be the same again. Sometimes it take us several years to realize that a book tore a hole in reality through which we could escape from the pettiness and despondency of our surroundings” ~ The Book of Dreams

"Bliss of Solitude"
Time is healing,
Some worse feeling.
I am happy,
It's getting better,
The pain of Solitude.
I intrigue,
Why to share?
So let it be,
As nobody care.
Thank God! I overcame,
Got affected,
But not broken down.
So can see the changes in the rules.
It's a new game.
No more alibis (Excuses)
Thoughts have grown,
The choice is mine,
In this Game of Poker (Life)
I am a Queen,
With a hidden Crown ..
(Tamanna)
An architectural masterpiece, property of the Crown and then a royal residence, Château de Chenonceau is a truly.
exceptional site by its original design, but also its history: loved, managed and protected by women, including Diane of Poitiers and Catherine de Medicis, it is also known as the ‘Château des Dames’. The feminine touch is everywhere; it has protected the Château from the ravages of war and made it a peaceful place.
Outside, the gardens of Catherine de Medicis and Diane of Poitiers emphasise the elegance of this unique landscape between sky and water. From the Jardin Vert designed by Bernard Palissy to the Italian maze and the floral harmony of the vegetable garden, the spirit of Chenonceau can be felt everywhere. The ‘tranquillity of the soul’ is coupled with ‘aristocratic serenity’.
Sea of Sin
I’m swimming in
And I’m taking a dive
My mind’s in need
So my body feeds
And it keeps me alive
It gets better and better
As it gets wetter and wetter
Sea of Sin
Know where you’ve been
But I don’t care
Sea of Sin
Through thick and thin
For better or worse
My mind’s in need
So my body feeds
And it quenches my thirst
You look cheaper and cheaper
As we sink deeper and deeper
Sea of Sin
Know where you’ve been
‚cause I’ve been there
Here under God’s sky
His watchful eye
And all of the lies
My consolation prize
Sea of Sin
My second skin
My home from home
When I’m in doubt
My hands reach out
And I’m never alone
It gets wetter and wetter
As it gets better and better
Sea of Sin
Know where you’ve been
And I repent
Sea of Sin
Know where you’ve been
Yes I’m aware
Sea of Sin
Know where you’ve been
‚cause I’ve been there
Sea of Sin
Know where you’ve been
And I don’t care

These props remind me of happy hours spent treasure hunting in junk shops. I love vintage pieces for their battered beauty, their uniqueness, and their survival through the years. I enjoy using old things to create new stories.
Hjørundfjord in the western part of Norway, runs like a giant canyon through mountainous landscape. As soon as I have free time for exceptional experiences, I seek out this area and climb up to one of these amazing peaks.
The center of your attention is whatever you choose.
Today, Mothers are front and center. Being a Mom carries a lot of weight. It is a blessing, but can feel like a burden at times. Both burdens and blessing are heavy. A blessing carries the weight of resposibility.
I would encourage every woman to be a blessing to others by stepping up to be a mother figure to whoever needs one.
A good woman is a blessing.
A good man is a blessing.
A good daughter is a blessing.
A good son is a blessing.
A good friend is a blessing.
Be blessings to one another not burdens.
Thank you all for your kind favs and comments. YOU are a blessing!
Happy Mother's Day!

Fistful of love by Antony and the Johnsons came on last night while i was stuck in traffic, so I thought I'd use it for today, and this waterfall shot has both power and beauty so is fine.
This shot is taken from the Church of San Pietro in Porto Venere. The gulf is so named because it inspired the likes of Byron, Shelley, Dante, and Petrarch.
It inspired me too, but I decided not to swim across the bay like Byron did in 1822 for a rendezvous with Shelley.
Note: The bay is actually behind me. This photo is looking out into the Mediterranean toward's Byron's Grotto.
Happy shooting!

Do you ever have one of those moments when you just have to stop your vehicle immediately, grab your camera and shoot?
This field seemed to have a bit of everything going on......light, vibrant colour, water, reflection, mood, clouds, silhouette.
What really caught my eye were all the pretty layers.
Hope you like it.
Thanks for viewing.

From the recent archives.
This sentinel was up and at it early on a post performing his duties watching for danger. The lanes and roads are rife with these birds in the early hours of Okanagan mornings.
California Quail
'Bowl of Beauty' Peony is famous for its huge, hot-pink outer petals that surround a soft and frilly ivory-yellow center, with each bloom measuring up to 10" across.
One of the most attractive peonies available, and one of my faves to photograph ..
This work is done for continuing with my Positive Flags of the Nations with especially appreciating music during these lockdown times.
Also for Finding the Beauty in the World Today Despite the Hardships Given Us by the Coronavirus.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Found this while digging around in the archive. From our visit to the gardens on the Isle of Mainau in Konstanz, Germany. A lovely, lovely place filled with gardens and trails and benches and many, many flowers.
