Spotted in abundance on one of my walks with Marnie, this is Lady's Smock. Other names are Cuckoo Flower, Mayflower, or Milkmaids.
Never bring this wild flower indoors, the fairies will be most upset. Legend says it's sacred for them. Sometimes it's nice to believe in fairies 😃 too !
Once used as a substitute for watercress, the Orange Tip butterfly likes it, so that's another reason to leave it where it grows.
"Where the grass is damp and green,
Where the shallow streams are flowing,
Where the cowslip buds are showing,
I am seen.
Dainty as a fairy’s frock,
White or mauve, of elfin sewing,
’Tis the meadow-maiden growing—
Lady’s-smock."

Here's another image from my just concluded trip to Kenya. This is the African Sacred Ibis, a bird that was found on right on my property in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy.

To this day... I have never seen Moraine Lake as beautiful as it was September 15th, 2015.
The images I took that day still leave me speechless.
A cemetery is a sacred place where dead relatives, relatives and friends are buried. It has long been customary to mark their burials with remarkable signs. Christians set up a cross for this. Where did this tradition come from?
What does history say?
Initially, the tomb cross on the grave was the designation of one or more burials. After the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, it acquired a sacred meaning.
Interestingly, in the Roman Empire, death on the cross was considered the most shameful and terrible execution. Such a sentence was given to malicious violators: thieves, murderers and traitors. The criminals died a painful death. They suffered from pain, heat, thirst and annoying insects.
The concept that the body of the deceased is in the earth, and the soul in heaven, appeared in the 5th century. The grave was decorated with a cross depicting the living Christ. After the death of Jesus, a crucifix with a resurrected teacher began to be placed on the cross. In addition, there were a wreath of thorns, blood, etc. Only by the 10th century did Orthodox believers accept the death of Christ and began to portray him as dead.
I personally am far from religion... Epidemics, wars, natural disasters... the funeral business is flourishing... those who buried their relatives and friends understand me.
Ancient Egyptians thought animals were incarnations of gods on Earth. They worshipped the sacred ibis as the god Thoth, which was responsible for maintaining the universe, judging the dead, and overseeing systems of magic, writing, and science.

I'm grateful and feel very blessed to be able to ride in places like this and to have flickr friends who make an effort to make me smile everyday.
I'm Canadian, we celebrated a month ago but i would like to wish my American friends a Happy Thanksgiving!~ virtual hugs ;-) Straight from the cam.

I naturally took many versions of this moment in time. It's a few miles from home, and I dash there when I see the fog thinning -- and one time in a hundred the sunbeams oblige. I feel moments like this are earned.
"Sacred water"
The Water Fountain Contraption (a.k.a. Temizuya)
At the entrance of Japanese Shinto shrines, you'll find a water fountain like thing that has ladles made out of bamboo or wood laid out on it (see above). It's called a temizuya, and the whole point of it is to clean and purify your body by washing your hands and your mouth. Here's the process:
Step 1: Pick up the ladle with your right hand and scoop up some water from the top portion.
Step 2: Pour a third of the water into your left hand and wash it first. Swap the ladle into your left hand, and then pour another third of the water into your right hand and proceed to wash it. All of this should be occurring in the bottom part of the temizuya, not where you initially scooped the water.
Step 3: Now that your hands are clean, you'll need to wash your mouth. Pass the ladle back into your right hand, and then (hopefully you have some water left) pour some water into your left hand. With the water in your left hand, bring your hand to your mouth and rinse with the water, finally spitting into the little area on the ground. Whatever you do, just don't put your mouth directly to the ladle, or spit back into the top area where you drew the water.
Step 4: Finally, you need to wash the ladle for the next person. To do this, draw some more water into the ladle, and now holding it with both hands, tilt the ladle scoop side up so that water falls down the handle and onto your hands. This essentially cleans the ladle, your hands, and the handle. You're now all set to make your way to the shrine itself.

There is a pullout along Going to the Sun Road about 2.5 miles northeast of Lake McDonald Lodge which brings you to Sacred Dancing Cascade.
It's a roadside cascade that only takes a few minutes to walk to get from the large pullout to the footbridge. The Sacred Dancing Cascades in Glacier National Park are very scenic as you watch the turquoise-colored water cascading down the water-carved rocks.
We had passed by this earlier in the day but decided to stop on the way back to the cabin during the evening which worked out great so I didn't have to worry about any tourists getting in the picture.
Swayambhunath stupa is also called the `Monkey Temple' because of the many hundreds of monkeys who scamper about the temple at night after the pilgrims and priests have departed. These monkeys and a hashish inspired to the magic of sacred places for who believers.
In the previous post. I showed you the unusual landscape of the Jawai Wildlife reserve. This is the antelope that finds refuge in the strange landscape. Nature's ability to camouflage is amazing, isn't it?
This sturdy blue antelope is called a Nilgai. It is the largest antelope in Asia. Hindus associate the the animal with their mother animal, the cow, because they are similar in appearance.

It's taken a while but finally this morning I managed to get a Kingfisher image I'm happy with from around my local area - I spotted this one just near Apiti looking very alert atop his observation post!
The sacred kingfisher is one of the best-known birds in New Zealand due to the iconic photographs published over many years by Geoff Moon. These early images showed in detail the prey, the foraging skills and the development of chicks in the nest and as fledging's. Equally recognisable is the hunched silhouette waiting patiently on a powerline or other elevated perch over an estuary or mudflat which converts in a flash to a streak of green diving steeply to catch a prey item.
Kingfishers are found widely in New Zealand in a wide range of habitats: the key ingredients are elevated observation posts to hunt from, banks or suitable standing trees to excavate nests in, and open or semi-open habitats which support a range of prey items.
