Perhaps these two have just seen it all once too often, but they were totally indifferent to the arrival of the Murray Princess on this cold, foggy yet sunny morning.
Taken at Mannum on the Murray river earlier this year.
Ah! Yes! Perhaps I should have stayed a bit longer in the Hortus and had myself a hot chocolate against the chill of walking in the garden. But having to cook a meal for a guest tonight it was wiser to return home...
And neither did I get even a whiff of chocolate from this Chocolate Vine now in full blossom. It gets its English vernacular name from the purported aroma but perhaps there's too much chill today. Our plant was first described for the West under the name Rajania quinata by Carl Peter Thunberg (1743-1828) whom I've often mentioned in these pages. He put together a marvelous Flora Japonica (1784) in which he discusses the plants he found in Japan during his stay on the island of Dejima (in the harbor of Nagasaki) in the service of the Dutch East Indies Trading Company (VOC).
Stonehenge is perhaps the world’s most famous prehistoric monument. It was built in several stages: the first monument was an early henge monument, built about 5,000 years ago, and the unique stone circle was erected in the late Neolithic period about 2500 BC in the early Bronze Age
It sits on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, two miles west of Amesbury. It consists of an outer ring of vertical Sarsen standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons, topped by connecting horizontal lintel stones.
Inside is a ring of smaller bluestones. Inside these are free-standing trilithons, two bulkier vertical Sarsens joined by one lintel. The whole monument, now in ruins, is oriented towards the sunrise on the summer solstice. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds).
The site remains closed to visitors as a result of the Corona virus pandemic, but you can still get up close from the public footpath that follows one edge of the perimeter fencing
Perhaps more about the nut and bolt but there is a spider there in the web. I don't know what sort though.

Perhaps the least known, but most attractive, of the great Victorian Cemeteries of London. Consecrated in 1840, it is one of the seven great Victorian cemeteries established in a ring around the outskirts of London. It contains examples of the magnificent monuments erected in memory of the most eminent citizens of the day, which contrast sharply with the small, simple headstones marking common, or public, burials. It’s formal avenue of towering limes and the Gothic gloom of the original Victorian planting gives way to paths which recall the country lanes of a bygone era
Perhaps one of my favorite selections for the SWANK Events Tropical Island Heat July Round Event is this gorgeous and well defined [TO.KISKI] Jazmin Cocktail Dress. Its asymmetrical right puffed shoulder sleeved look, belted waistline, and gold metal beaded outseam makes for a very stunning bodycon vibe.
Its fatpack comes in Black, Blue, Cherry, Fuchsia, Gold, Green, Orange, Purple, Red, Sky, White, and Pink (shown) color choices. It also comes with an optional light for atmospheric effects.
This [TO.KISKI] Jazmin Cocktail Dress fits Kupra, LaraX, Legacy Classic, Maitreya Lara, Perky, Reborn, and Reborn Waifu mesh bodies.

Perhaps one day you will need the company of solitude. Believe me, she is a good friend. She doesn't lie to you. She listens to you in silence and shows you your courage, that courage that one day you thought did not exist.
perhaps not many people like spiders but i think to see the details of this animal even the eyes is interesting and only possible through the macro world.

I should perhaps explain "Peedie" Peedie is a traditional Orkney word meaning small and in this particular setting it obviously means "Small Sea" so it would be fair to ask how this come to be?
The reason is the sea in Kirkwall originally went all the way up to the steps of St.Magnus Cathedral and over the centuries the sea was reclaimed by the people of Kirkwall leaving only a very small Sea which would have been created by the Geological feature of an 'AYRE' which is a bar of shingle or stones forming on a narrow spit of land from the shore.
Recent Archaeological excavations very nearby to the Cathedral unearthed old piers possibly used in the building of the Cathedral.
Kirkwall's name comes from the Norse 'Kirkjuvagr', meaning 'Church on the bay'
Perhaps the finest car to show up at the August 2018 Morris Cruise Night, was this 1935 Auburn Speedster.

A challenge to my Flickr Friends:
Now what can you create for me; perhaps a World of Roses!
If you have Photoshop CS3 onwards, it is quite simple; take a look at Gavin Hoey's video here !

Been practicing the bird photography with the new 100mm-400mm lens. This mockingbird portrait was the best attempt of the day. I thought the background was unique as well.
Perhaps the most graceful of seabirds, their buoyant flight and long tail-streamers means they well deserve their alternative name of sea-swallows.
Perhaps not actually a soi dog in this case as it looks better cared for and well fed than most. Having a beach to run around on is surely far better than a street too.
Perhaps the great mystery of the universe is not the invisible, but the visible.
A very difficult photography that required a long processing work. At high iso and without PS, random noise became the main technical issue to solve.
……Perhaps I could have gone for ‘a’ is for app but what we are actually looking at is the ‘icon’ rather than the app itself I thought! so ‘i’ is my chosen vowel for this weeks Macro Monday’s theme of ‘iSpy’ - each ‘icon’ square measures just 10mm on my iPhone for size comparator. Edited in Lightroom & NIK Color Efex Pro4 for added interest. HMM, Alan:-)…….(PS, like every other Grandparent - our Grandchild is on the screen, as you do😊)

"It seems to me that this war is currently the most important conflict taking place in the world.
Perhaps this is the end of the Cold War. Because it calls into question all these basic, fundamental values and norms of world order, world order. It's like a school situation where there's some bully terrorizing the whole school, and everyone else stands by and watches to see if that bully can win against the normal, good students. And the same is happening all over the world.
If Putin is allowed to win, we will see more "Putins" in South America, in Asia, and so on. If, on the other hand, this bully is stopped and punished, then it will become clear that you cannot be a bully, you cannot be this bully, you will rely on the rules. And this is the idea of democracy, peace, international law and world order."

“Мені здається, що війна в Україні наразі є найважливішим конфліктом, що відбувається у світі.
Можливо, це закінчення Холодної війни. Тому що вона ставить під сумнів всі ці базові, засадничі цінності і норми світопорядку, світового ладу. Це ситуація, як у школі, коли є якийсь хуліган, який тероризує всю школу, а всі решта стоять і дивляться, чи цей хуліган зможе перемогти у протистоянні з нормальними, хорошими учнями. І так само відбувається по всьому світі.
Якщо дозволять Путіну перемогти, то ми побачимо більше «путіних» у Південній Америці, в Азії і так далі. Якщо ж з іншого боку, цього хулігана зупинять і покарають, то тоді стане зрозуміло, що ви не можете бути гопником, ви не можете бути цим буллером, ви будете покладатися на правила. І в цьому і полягає ідея демократії, миру, міжнародного права і світового порядку.”
