A popular view for certain but I can never resist a shot of the castle when I'm in the area and I liked the moody sky enhanced by the IR rendition. It has always been a popular place but the pandemic has pushed it over the edge and is much more like a holiday village now..........and a campervan car park!!! This was taken about 1/2hr after sunset when the beach had emptied a bit.
a new version of the Wisteria flower for my "One of a kind" flower images project.
facts about wisterias:
#1: Wisteria is part of the legume family
The legume family is also home to peas, beans, lentils and clover!
#2: English botanist Thomas Nuttall (1786-1859) named the Wisteria
Along with at least 92 others. He was born in Long Preston, Yorkshire, but travelled to the Great Lakes of North America in 1810, with fellow botanist John Bradbury.
#3: The Wisteria is named in memory of Dr. Caspar Wistar
Dr. Caspar Wistar (1761-1818) was an American physician and anatomist. He was an early promoter of vaccinations, cousin of American Revolutionary diarist Sally Wister and also a friend of Thomas Jefferson.
#4: Two of the most popular Wisteria can be identified by how they climb!
If it twines its stems clockwise (seen from above), it’s probably a Japanese Wisteria (W. floribunda). The Chinese Wisteria (W. sinensis) however, twines counterclockwise – and this is the most common one in the UK.
#5: There are ten species of Wisteria
And they are native to China, Korea, Japan, and the Eastern United States. Chinese Wisteria was the most common species in the UK for many years, until other colours and species were gradually introduced.

Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares - Sevilla
El Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de la ciudad de Sevilla (AndalucÃa, España) está localizado en la plaza de América del parque de MarÃa Luisa. Al otro lado de la plaza se encuentra el Museo Arqueológico. Fue el pabellón de Arte Antiguo de la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929.
Fue planteado como pabellón de Industrias, Manufacturas y Artes Decorativas. Finalmente, se le llamó pabellón de Arte Antiguo e Industrias ArtÃsticas. Se trata de un edificio proyectado en 1913 y construido en 1914 por el arquitecto AnÃbal González, autor también de los otros edificios levantados en la misma plaza de América. Es de ladrillo visto con motivos decorativos de cerámica. Por su estilo arquitectónico, fue conocido como el pabellón Mudéjar.
En principio constaba de dos plantas sobre una cámara de aireación para evitar la humedad. Se realiza una mejora durante la década de 1960 en la planta principal, que tenÃa más de doce metros de altura, y se dividió con una planta artificial (corresponde a la planta primera) por el arquitecto Antonio Delgado y Roig. En 1972 se unen las plantas con una gran escalera de caracol que diseña el arquitecto José Galnares Sagastizábal, trabajo que realiza después de que la construcción fuese designada para albergar el museo por el Decreto de Creación del Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla, con fecha de 23 de marzo de 1972, constituido como una sección del Museo de Bellas Artes.
Sus funciones como museo se desarrollan desde el 4 de marzo de 1973, fecha en que abre sus puertas al público.

Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville
The Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville (Spanish: Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares) is a museum in Seville, Andalusia, Spain, located in the MarÃa Luisa Park, across the Plaza de América from the Provincial Archeological Museum.
The museum occupies the Mudéjar Pavilion (Pabellón Mudéjar) designed by AnÃbal González and built in 1914. It served as an art pavilion, the Pabellón de Arte Antiguo, for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, when AnÃbal González had the opportunity to design several additional permanent buildings for the plaza. The exterior is ceramic over brick, and has three doors with archivolts adorned with glazed tiles (azulejos).[citation needed]
The building originally consisted of two stories over an aeration chamber (necessary because of the humidity). In the 1960s, the main floor, originally over 12 metres (39 ft) high, was divided in two, with an intermediate level added by architect Delgado Roig. In 1972, as part of the preparations for the current museum, the various stories of the building were connected by a grand spiral staircase designed by José Galnares Sagastizábal.
The museum was established by a decree of 23 March 1972, initially as a section of the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville. It opened its doors to the public 4 March 1973.[2] For the next seven years, the museum fell under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and Science, but the city government occupied more than half of the poorly maintained building. Neither institution took full responsibility. This situation led to a series of temporary closures. In 1976, the electric bill could not be paid, and the museum had to be shut until it could get power again. In 1979, heavy rains damaged the interior.

The very popular Eilean Donan Castle at Dornie in the western Highlands of Scotland. This castle has a long history beginning in the 6th/7th century when this small island was used as the site for a chapel. The first castle was built here around 12th/13th century. It became a stronghold of the Clan Mackenzie and their allies, the Clan Macrae. However, in response to the Mackenzies' involvement in the Jacobite rebellions early in the 18th century, government ships destroyed the castle in 1719. It lay in ruins from then until 1911. The current building is Lieutenant-Colonel John Macrae-Gilstrap's 20th-century reconstruction of the old castle and was built between 1912 and 1932.
I think there must be a law that if you go to Scotland you have to visit this castle. It is such a Scottish icon.

Well yesterday I was mostly photographing Pelicans as you can see from the above photo at Newport beach, California. I was actually laying on the sand to capture this shot and I was so close I was able to capture this shot with my 18-200mm lens as opposed to the 120-400mm lens that I normally use to photograph birds in flight....The Pelicans were attracted by the lure of free fish, from the fishermen's cast offs, so they were hanging around the back of the fish shack...which meant I actually got to be in close proximity to these bad boys...which is the 1st time in the 17 YEARS that I have been coming to this beach...there's a 1st for everything I guess lol..:)
Have a great Weekend Ya'll./b>

Our first trip out to Harris back in 2015. It was well known about but far less popular, especially in early March. We had a fantastic week and as most folk do, we fell in love with the place.
No doubt we'll be back again very soon
Lots of birds at the local restaurant today! I need to admit that the photo is a series of 5-6 shots (through a dirty kitchen window) and a few birds have been copied in ;)

Looking over Leith to Inchkeith Island and the Kingdom of Fife beyond.
Inchkeith (from the Scottish Gaelic: Innis Cheith) is an island in the Firth of Forth, Scotland, administratively part of the Kinghorn parish of the county of Fife.
Inchkeith has had a colourful history as a result of its proximity to Edinburgh and strategic location for use as home for a lighthouse and for military purposes defending the Firth of Forth from attack from shipping, and more recently protecting the upstream Forth Bridge and Rosyth Dockyard. Inchkeith has, by some accounts, been inhabited (intermittently) for almost 1,800 years.

En la ciudad de Sevilla, el Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla, creado en 1972, es un museo dedicado al patrimonio etnológico andaluz, tanto material como inmaterial, en cuyas salas se exponen objetos y utensilios que documentan las costumbres, saberes y maneras de vivir propias de la cultura tradicional de la zona.
Está instalado en el Pabellón Mudéjar, un edificio diseñado por el arquitecto AnÃbal González para la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929.
Sus colecciones más importantes son las de cerámica, indumentaria y actividades artesanales de AndalucÃa. Asimismo destacan la colección Aguiar de pintura costumbrista, la colección Soria de lozas y marfiles orientales, la de cerámica de la colección Gestoso y, sobre todo, la colección DÃaz Velázquez de encajes y bordados, una de las más importantes de Europa y que por sà misma podrÃa constituir un museo monográfico independiente, con sus casi 6.000 piezas. Por otra parte, el Ayuntamiento de Sevilla tiene depositada en el museo su colección de originales de carteles de las fiestas primaverales de Sevilla. Entre las incorporaciones de la última década destacan la adquisición de la colección Loty, formada por más de 2.000 placas de cristal antiguas que recogen detalles de las ciudades y la vida andaluzas desde principios del siglo XX hasta 1936, dos colecciones de juguetes y una de más de 7.000 tarjetas postales.
La planta primera del museo se encuentra temporalmente cerrada por reformas. El nuevo proyecto no sólo se justifica por el envejecimiento natural de la instalación, de 1972, sino porque la concepción museológica ha quedado desfasada con el paso de los años y hoy se requieren nuevas instalaciones que aporten un mayor confort a las personas y una mayor seguridad a las piezas.
En la planta principal o baja del Museo, la sala central está dedicada a exposiciones temporales.

A Bee last time , this time it is a Small white Butterfly if I have got my Identifying right . Same plant and same fence as a background !!
A small and slim finch that's widespread and was once very popular as a caged bird because of its tuneful song. Males are marked with crimson foreheads and chests, females are much browner. It has a bouncing flight, usually twittering as it flies and may be seen in large flocks during the winter. Linnet numbers have dropped significantly over the past few decades, with the UK population estimated to have fallen by 57% between 1970 and 2014. The latest Breeding Bird Survey results show a decrease in all countries.
