After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring.
He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.
The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
~Will Rogers 1879-1935

Hanami is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers, "flower" in this case almost always meaning cherry blossoms. The practice of hanami is many centuries old. The custom is said to have started during the Nara Period (710–794) when the Chinese Tang Dynasty influenced Japan in many ways; one of which was the custom of enjoying flowers.

Beautiful light on this flamingo at the Columbus Zoo! It practically glows! I might add, aside from a slight crop, I made no adjustments to this photo. This is the bird's actual color. He seems to be watching me...
This fellow was all over the place. Finally I got a couple of pics. With the damaged wing I was wondering what had happened to him.
It has been an unsual weather pattern at the equator these few weeks. During the day it is extremely hot and by nightfall the weather changes to a torrential downpour...Not to mention the humidity...Have an enjoyable weekend everyone and thank you for stopping by my stream. Cheers, Ringgo.

"Con questo quadro, Cici Peis, esprime in pittura le testimonianze della sua terra, la quale conserva tracce di un passato lontano di insediamenti di antiche civiltà rupestri e paesaggi da contemplare.
L'olivastro indigeno della Sardegna e l'ulivo originario del Mediterraneo Orientale.
E' molto longevo ed ha un' eccezionale capacità di riprodursi .
Attraverso un linguaggio pittorico semplice, viene emulato il fascino dei luoghi dove si presuma è cresciuto .
Qui non si fa unicamente interprete del paesaggio, ma percepisce e contempla la bellezza dei luoghi per trasformarla in una personalissima poetica pittorica con la quale traccia il percorso che conduce alla sua anima. Egli in questo modo diviene interprete di una forma figurativa capace di integrare componenti descrittivi ad elementi più ampiamente interpretativi.
Essa si rivela in realtà profonda e romantica come si evince in questo dipinto l’albero di ulivo, simbolo di vita, pace, purezza, dolcezza e semplicità.
Il suo paese viene guardato per interiorizzarlo nel suo mondo che è di volta in volta forte e fragile, terso ed ombroso così come lo è la natura umana."
With this background in painting,Cici Peis, expresses the testimony of his land, which preserves traces of a distant past of settlements of ancient civilizations and rock scenery to behold.
The olive-skinned native of Sardinia and olives originating from the eastern Mediterranean.
It 's very long-lived and has an' exceptional ability to reproduce.
Through a simple pictorial language, is emulated by the charm of the places where it is alleged he grew up.
Here you not only interpreter of the landscape, but perceives and contemplates the beauty of the area to make it a very personal poetic painting with which traces the path that leads to his soul. He thus becomes the interpreter of a figurative form that integrates components of descriptive elements to further interpretation.
It turns out to be really deep and romantic as can be seen in this painting the olive tree, symbol of life, peace, purity, sweetness and simplicity.
His country is looked for in his world that is internalized from time to time fragile and strong, clear and shady as it is human nature.
Con este telón de fondo en la pintura,Cici Peis, expresa el testimonio de su tierra, que conserva las huellas de un pasado lejano de los asentamientos de las civilizaciones antiguas y el paisaje de roca a la vista.
El nativo de oliva de piel de Cerdeña y de las aceitunas procedentes del Mediterráneo oriental.
Es 's muy larga duración y tiene una "capacidad excepcional para reproducirse.
A través de un lenguaje pictórico sencillo, es emulado por el encanto de los lugares donde se alega que creció.
Aquí no sólo intérprete del paisaje, sino que percibe y contempla la belleza de la zona para que sea una pintura poética muy personal con el que traza el camino que conduce a su alma. Él se convierte así en el intérprete de una forma figurativa, que integra componentes de elementos descriptivos de una interpretación posterior.
Resulta ser un proceso más profundo y romántico como puede verse en este cuadro el olivo, símbolo de la vida, la paz, pureza, dulzura y sencillez.
Su país se busca en su mundo que se interioriza de tiempo en tiempo frágil y fuerte, clara y con sombra, ya que es la naturaleza humana.
My "go to" when the Bees,Butterflies and Bugs are gone. These seed pods pose endless photo ops,IMHO.
All about Insect...Insects have segmented bodies supported by an exoskeleton, a hard outer covering made mostly of chitin. The segments of the body are organized into three distinctive but interconnected units, or tagmata: a head, a thorax, and an abdomen.[8] The head supports a pair of sensory antennae, a pair of compound eyes, and, if present, one to three simple eyes (or ocelli) and three sets of variously modified appendages that form the mouthparts.

Iglesia del siglo XI, en la cual se han encontrado restos de una edificación anterior. Tiene planta de cruz griega, con ábside y absidiolos semicirculares y está coronada por un cimborrio circular, muy raro en el románico catalán de la época.
Es un importante edificio románico lombardo-catalán, pues los ábsides tienen decoración de arquillos ciegos y lesenas o bandas lombardas, al igual que los muros exteriores de la nave.
La portada de acceso es del siglo XVI, y se caracteriza por sus formas góticas.
La iglesia ocupa un lugar entre los pueblos de Esglésies y Castelledral. En su territorio hubo un asentamiento íbero-romano de mucha importancia, el Pla de Sant Pere.
La primera noticia escrita la encontramos cuando el conde de Cerdanya, Miró II, en el año 925, hace entrega al monasterio de Ripoll de la parroquia. La pertenenecia a Ripoll dura hasta 1835.
Esta iglesia es el monumento más destacado del municipio y una joya del románico catalán; además encontraremos restos del edificio prerrománico del siglo X.

我認為相機能夠拍下這世界的景色這件事，某種程度上來說是種不可思議之力量。
I think there's some sense of magic in the fact that what's out there can be caught in this little box.
