My last shot of the shoreline of Liland at the Lofoten Islands. I am impressed how much different kinds of stones come together at this place. I can't wait to come back in that fascinating area.
Mein letztes Foto vom Strand von Liland auf den Lofoten. Beeindruckend für mich ist, wie viele unterschiedliche Gesteinsarten hier zusammen kommen. Ich kann es kaum erwarten wieder in diese faszinierende Gegend zurück zu kehren.
"The greatest conquest is the conquest of fear.
The greatest courage is the courage to start over.
The greatest virtue is to care deeply.
The greatest ignorance is ignorance of beauty.
The greatest sin is indifference.
The greatest reward for a life well lived is to have no regrets."

A rock pool at Haycock Point. Quite a few steep steps down to this large rock platform and then a sloping rock face, which is okay if not wet and if you have plenty of grip on your shoes. The platform contains some varied geology and is quite an interesting place. Haystack Rock is located beyond it and separated from the platform. Beowa National Park on the Far South Coast of NSW.

I guess you can't tour Western Australia without going to Wave Rock. A lot of people had told us to be prepared to be underwhelmed. I think they were wrong, it was definitely worth the long drive to see it.
Caterpillar kebab!!.This little fellow and his mate raised four chicks.Not surprising with beaks full of goodies like that.
Many thanks for looking at my pictures.

Paeonia rockii
Botanischer Garten der Unversität Wien
Paeonia rockii was named after Joseph Rock (1884 – 1962), "an Austrian-American botanist, explorer, geographer, linguist, ethnographer and photographer" whose interesting biography you can read more about in the cited Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Rock
Paeonia rockii "is native to the mountains of Gansu and adjoining provinces in China. In Chinese, it is known as 紫斑牡丹", which means "purple patch peony". On the inside of the otherwise white petals you can see purple patches below. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paeonia_rockii zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%B4%AB%E6%96%91%E7%89%A1%E4%B8%B9

Enjoy!
I was up before sunrise and went for a wander from our BnB. The rock is probably one that was once pushed by a glacier but now makes a bold ah statement as a gatepost.
Have a good day.
Pulangbato Falls literally means Red Rock Falls in English. The sulfur content in the water has turned much of the rocks in the stream and directly beneath the waterfall into a reddish-orange color.

Stone Harbor Point, New Jersey, USA
During August and September, we observed 4 juvenile Piping Plovers in the same general area of the beach. They were usually in the tire tracks or up in the dunes on the dry sand. Nice images but I prefer my shorebirds in the surf or on the wet sand. It was late in the afternoon with about 90 minutes of light left when we came upon our 4 friends. Were where they? In the tire tracks of course. We had to make a decision. Do we wait and hope that the birds move to the water or continue on our way and hope to find something else to work with. We decided to give them 15 minutes. Boy am I glad we waited. They did indeed head to the water and were outrageously cooperative. They made up for all the hours we patiently waited over the summer. We took tons of images but this was my favorite.
