To see such clean-looking water in California for a change :)
Also, today in general was extremely refreshing. It was like we just woke up and started over, falling away all over again.
I was stunned by the world's beauty today. More so, I was stunned by the beauty I could so easily reach, capture, travel to.
Truly refreshing indeed :)
This is a part of the Vernal Falls in Yosemite National Park. The park is famous for its high concentration of waterfalls in a small area.

The smell of the wet desert is like no other fragrance. It rained off and on most of the afternoon. I went outside between the showers to enjoy the flowers.

If there is one thing, one single thing that has to be a fave of mine about SL it's the vast beyond vast selection of ink you can find literally everywhere! This gorgeous design is called Alina by Vezzo Ink, and while I bought the fat pack, I currently have the multicolor version on! I AM IN LOVE!!!!
The weather has been milder the last few days, so we opened the pond. Almost immediately birds were visiting for a bath and a drink. This Red Cardinal seemed to be really enjoying his shower.

Look at his hand .... indeed we created as tourists that spontaneous reaction of begging even for taking a picture. This happens a lot all around Chennai even on the country-side. He is not to blame .... we are.
In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

There's nothing like a male-bonding trip into the wilderness to remind you of the value of simple things. Friendship, Laughter, Family. I'm glad to be home.
During two amazing days spent in the woods of the Aniene valley, we had a quick stop at the ‘Mola Vecchia’, an eleventh-century mill on the river. The Aniene offers a fairy-tale landscape, there, where everything is saturated with the presence of the river and the smell of the wood.

The splash and blubbling movement of water in the Victoria Square fountain, in the heart of the Adelaide CBD. It is a very hot dat today with a scorching sun, and the water was very cool and refreshing to my hot tired feet. I found some peace and harmony here, with the soothing roar of the water jets blocking out the city hustle and bustle.
BTW the water was not this green ... it is my processing ... to add colour and interest :-)

Entry for Daily Shoot 466: "Who are you? Illustrate your idea of peace and harmony--or maybe just peace and quiet--today with a photograph."
It was a glorious day in Auld Reekie today. Indeed it seems to have been lovely all over the country. Bodes well for the weekend.
It was too hot in our office this afternoon. And believe it or not this is the first time I think I have ever had Ribena. It was really nice!
Alexander Keith's Nova Scotia brewery is one of the oldest in North America and one of the first to brew India Pale Ale. What exactly is an "India" PALE ale ???
Well, as a historian, I couldn't let that question go unanswered. :) ... When the British Empire expanded into India, Britons beverage of choice was beer (nobody drank water!) . And in the warm tropical world of India a nice refreshing beer was eagerly anticipated ... except by the time the ship arrived from England, the beer was sour and flat. The problem was solved when a special beer was brewed with more hops and increased alcohol that could withstand six months at sea .... ex-pats in India could now enjoy their favorite refreshing beverage ... India PALE ale! Cheers!
East African Railway Garratt no.5902 takes on bunker oil and water at Voi, roughly midway through its journey from Mombasa to Nairobi - December 1976.
Built by Beyer Peacok in Manchester in 1955, 5902 was named 'Ruwenzori Mountains'.
At 252 tons, the 59 class were the largest steam locomotives to ever operate over metre gauge tracks and by the time of this photograph were the largest steam locos left operating in the world.
They took over the title from the New South Wales AD60 Garratts in early 1973 - but the 264 ton AD60s were standard gauge..
