Celebration of CCC once a year.
Lang, lang ist's her, und das Motto ist heute vielleicht passender als damals.
A Eurasian Collared Dove at the birdbath in our garden. There was lots of splashing going on when it came in for a drink.
Day 187 - Its suppose to be summer and its miserable outside so I will fake it with some flashes. Refreshing lemon.
"It is better to keep a friend from falling than to have to help him up" ....How Refreshing!
Like these Palm Trees...."Standin' Tall Together!"
( I had to think about that for a minute, but it makes me want to be more aware of what is going on with my friends and to be available for them "sooner" than "later"....both are a breath of fresh air I believe and welcomed at either point, but it seems clear which choice is best....just some food for thought : )
"Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing."
And THANK YOU for all your encouragement just like the verse says above! Have a great week! I feel so blessed to be flickr friends with you...you are awesome....in so MANY ways....your photography, your words, your humor, your kindness....You light up my life! Thank you! May you really enjoy your week!
p.s. Thank you for your patience....I am catching up...and I will catch up! : ) My Fall is always so very full, but I am not willing to give you all up...you are worth the time...and my heart is hooked : ) ...so if you will bear with me, i will press on as I can : )

This cool cave in Indonesia was one of the highlights of my trip. It was about an hour ride on motorbike up to a small town on the coast. The road was undergoing some construction so it was really rough. I almost laid the bike down in some loose gravel! Fortunately I was going slow. Once at the village, I walked down to the shore and found a guy who was willing to take me to the cave. As soon as I got on the boat, about 20 kids all jumped on for the ride! The kids kept me good company on the way there. Once in the cave, I jumped in for a refreshing swim. When you swim under the back part, it opens up into another large chamber where you can climb the wall and jump off. Tons of fun! But then the light started getting good, so I got out and took a few photos. It wasn't until I processed this one that I could see all the silt I stirred up in the water when I got out. It probably would have taken awhile for it to settle back out. The tide had gone out by the time I exited, and I had to walk a good ways through the water to get to the boat. The kids were having fun swimming and goofing off. Experiences like these make me appreciate the simple things in life!
On a hot day, a bowl of nice cold ice cream with salted caramel sauce is quite refreshing. For 119 pictures in 2019, #84 "refreshing"
I was a little to late for the "show me game" but here is my Refreshing beverage for the day. I was surprised that my dish towel made such a nice backdrop :-D
I walked outside for a few minutes while convalescing from Covid and this chipping sparrow did not even try to jump out of that birdbath when I came by!
Now back to recovery ....

I know it's supposed to be World of Color Wednesday but I thought a different and more refreshing fountain shot would be appropriate due to the uber high temperatures lately. This is the fountain at Carthay Circle. I tried to capture the little droplets as they flew through the air with shimmering light reflecting off of them.

ASPIC
is a dish in which ingredients are set into a gelatin made from a meat stock or consommé. Non-savory dishes, often made with commercial gelatin mixes without stock or consommé, are usually called gelatin salads.
When cooled, stock that is made from meat congeals because of the natural gelatin found in the meat. The stock can be clarified with egg whites, and then filled and flavored just before the aspic sets. Almost any type of food can be set into aspics. Most common are meat pieces, fruits, or vegetables. Aspics are usually served on cold plates so that the gel will not melt before being eaten. A meat jelly that includes cream is called a chaud-froid.
Nearly any type of meat can be used to make the gelatin: pork, beef, veal, chicken, turkey, or fish. The aspic may need additional gelatin in order to set properly. Veal stock provides a great deal of gelatin; in making stock, veal is often included with other meat for that reason. Fish consommés usually have too little natural gelatin, so the fish stock may be double-cooked or supplemented. Since fish gelatin melts at a lower temperature than gelatins of other meats, fish aspic is more delicate and melts more readily in the mouth.
Vegetables and fish stocks need gelatin to maintain a molded shape.

♨ ♨ ♨RECIPE ♨ ♨ ♨
for 10 persons
♨ INGREDIENTS
- 12 dl of orange juice
- 1 kg of fresh canned fruit
- 5 spoons of kirsch
- 10 sheets of isinglass
♨PROCEDURE
- VERY IMPORTANT STEP: PUT THE FRUIT DRY
(you can do this step using kitchen paper or a soft dish cloth)
- While the fruit will be getting dried,
you can prepare the jelly:
-- put the isinglass in cold water for 5 minutes till it will be soft;
-- put it into a pot with 6 spoons of the sirup (orange juice + 5 spoons of kirsch) and put it on the fire for some minutes, till the jelly will disappear into the sirup;
-- Add to this all the rest of the sirup (orange juice + 5 spoons of kirsch)
and put it in the refrigerator;
- put the fruit into a bun mold in the way you prefer (please, take in your mind that at the end you will see the whole fruit composition - I suggest you to begin to put the fruit starting from the mold perimeter)
-- when you have finished..... pour the sirup (orange juice + 5 spoons of kirsch + isinglass) on the fruit composed in the mold so that it will fill all free spaces leaved by the fruits;
-- PUT IN THE REFRIFERATOR FOR AT LEAST 3 HOURS;
♨SERVING WITH CREAM
(if you wish you can fill the hole in the middle with cream and fresh fruits)

Me and my cousin went up to Poring Hot Spring at Kinabalu National Park yesterday for some possible waterfall shoot but there were so many visitors at the big waterfall I ended up with this small ‘waterfall’. The big waterfall is at the upper level of this spot. I did shoot a few but its all crap with ghostly people image on my photos. We decided to jump and swim (big waterfall not this one) and spend couple of hours swimming & lolling around the pool. It was fun and the water were very refreshing: D
Of cos I bring an extra cloth :D
