Vi ho già parlato di loro, Milo Isabel e Kenia, ma mentre altri hanno trovato adozione, loro si trovano ancora al Rifugio Ohana di Banda a 4 Zampe Umbria.
Lei è Isabel, una cagnolina bionda e di piccola taglia che è al rifugio con la mamma Danielle. E' più timidina della mamma, ma ora comincia anche a uscire in passeggiata, e con un po' di pazienza si farà coraggio. Ad ogni modo non verrà data in adozione da sola, ma con la mamma. Non è molto dolce?
RVYC was formed in 1903 as the Vancouver Yacht Club, receiving its Royal Warrant in 1906.
[...]. Our Coal Harbour home port is nestled into the shores of Stanley Park, a stone's throw from the cycling path, park trails, and downtown Vancouver - our floating restaurant there, the Mermaid Inn serves breakfast and lunch daily. The vistas over the bay from the Star & Dragon patio or the Marine Lounge's Upper Deck have given us the nickname of having the best view in Vancouver. www.royalvan.com/about
The Northern Pacific Office Building is a three-story historic office building in Tacoma, Washington that served as the headquarters of the Northern Pacific Railway's Tacoma division. Built in 1888, the brick, stucco, stone and cast iron structure stands on a high bluff overlooking the Commencement Bay harbor and extensive railroad switching yards that fan out across the tide flats below at the mouth of the Puyallup River where it flows into Puget Sound.
Worcester Cathedral.
Worcester Cathedral is a magnificent sight as it rises majestically above the River Severn. Worcester has been the seat of a bishopric since the Seventh Century, and the Cathedral was served by monks until the Reformation. St Oswald and St Wulfstan were among the bishops.

"The Amen of nature is always a flower." (Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.)
The Birds-foot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus). A very attractive wildflower from the Pea family is named after its seed pods that resemble birds feet or claws and the three green leaves (out of 5-lobs leaflet) are conspicuously sticking out at the back of the flower cluster hence Trefoil. In this image however one of the three lobs wasn't pictured well at this angle. It is not only good for bees but also serves as a food for caterpillars of many butterflies including some endangered species here like Silver-studded blue and Wood white butterflies. This plant is commonly known here as 'butter and eggs', eggs and bacon', and 'hen and chickens' due to its yellow-orange-reddish flowers. But it also has less gastronomical and poetic name, Granny's toenails, due to the look of its seed pods (see www.flickr.com/photos/sergeysmirnov/5878569314/in/album-7...). In Victorian time it was symbolised with dark thoughts and revenge whether it was due to flower colours or claw-like seed pods or both. Taken back in May last year.

Captured in stunning detail, these vibrant daylilies (Hemerocallis) showcase nature's artistry at its finest. The rich crimson petals, adorned with delicate water droplets, create a mesmerizing contrast against the lush green foliage. The intricate ruffled edges of the petals and the golden-yellow throats of the flowers add depth and interest to the composition. This close-up view allows us to appreciate the subtle variations in color and texture, from the velvety petals to the slender stamens reaching out from the heart of each bloom. A testament to the fleeting beauty of these flowers, which typically last for just a single day, this image serves as a reminder to pause and admire the ephemeral wonders that surround us in the garden.
The Clink was a prison in Southwark, England, which operated from the 12th century until 1780. The prison served the Liberty of the Clink, a local manor area owned by the Bishop of Winchester rather than by the reigning monarch. As the Liberty owner, the Bishop kept all revenues from the Clink Liberty, and could put people in prison for failing to make their payments. As the Bishop, he could also imprison heretics. The Clink prison was situated next to the Bishop's London-area residence of Winchester Palace. The Clink was possibly the oldest men's prison and probably the oldest women's prison in England.
It is uncertain whether the name of the prison derived from, or was bestowed on, the Liberty that it served. The origins of the name "The Clink" are possibly onomatopoeic, deriving from the sound of striking metal as the prison doors were bolted, or the rattling of the chains the prisoners wore.
The name has become slang as a generic term for prison or a jail cell.

Benedict went to work at E. Remington and Sons in nearby Ilion, N.Y., after his Hamilton graduation. This company not only manufactured arms and agricultural implements but also did piece work for inventors who devised new machines. One such invention, in 1873, was for a typewriter designed by Christopher Latham Sholes. Although the Remington company did not make much progress with the manufacture of the new instrument, Benedict realized its potential.
Benedict and two partners bought the rights to the typewriter and organized a firm to sell the “practical writing machine.” The name Remington was retained, and in 1902 the Remington Typewriter Co. was formed with Benedict as president until his retirement in 1913. Benedict, who served as a Hamilton trustee from 1897 until his death in 1935, provided funds for the Hall of Languages, built in 1897, and for the purchase of the Chapel organ.
The exceptional view from Titterstone Clee, all the better for being served up on a crisp, clear winters morning when the distant hills of Malvern and the Brecon Beacons are all clearly visible...
The Old “Laird’s Dyke” at Ardgowan Point next to the Inverkip Marina was probably served by the residents of the Grade A listed Ardgowan Mansion-House at one time . Also in the photo to the left is the old jetty for the now demolished Inverkip Power station, then in the distance the Isle's of Arran and Bute can be
seen with the Coral Peninsula creeping in on the righthand side, great views of the Clyde estuary.
The Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul / Abbey Church of the Holy Cross, Shrewsbury (commonly known as Shrewsbury Abbey) is an ancient foundation in Shrewsbury, the county town of Shropshire, England.
The Abbey was founded in 1083 as a Benedictine monastery by the Norman Earl of Shrewsbury, Roger de Montgomery.
Shrewsbury Abbey grew to be one of the most important and influential abbeys in England, and an important centre of pilgrimage.
Although much of the Abbey was destroyed during the 16th century reformation, the nave survived as a parish church, and today serves as the mother church for the Parish of Holy Cross.
The Abbey is a Grade I listed building and is a member of the Greater Churches Group. It is located to the east of Shrewsbury town centre, near the English Bridge, and is surrounded by a triangular area which is today referred to as Abbey Foregate.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Karlstor in Munich (called Neuhauser Tor until 1791) is one of what used to be Munich's famed city wall from the medieval ages till late into the 18th century. It served as a major defensive fortification and checkpoint.
It is located at the western end of Neuhauser Straße.
The building is the westernmost of three remaining gothic town gates out of originally five. The other two are Isartor in the east (the only one that is still complete in its basic structure) and Sendlinger Tor in the south-west. Missing nowadays, after the whole fortification system had to be laid down on prince-electoral order at the turn from the 18th to the 19th century, are Angertor in the south and Schwabinger Tor in the north, as well as all "minor" or side gates and the entire double walls.
Between 1285 and 1347 the existing first town walls were supplemented with a new, second, double-ring fortification for and around fast-growing Munich, significantly extending the populated and protected area.
Dinner is Served - Adult female Belted Kingfisher with prey. Not sure exactly what the fish was, but looked like some sort of sunfish. The heavy rains and flooding have caused the river to swell, and the kingfishers were enjoying good hunting. A tight crop, but my first prey shot with this species.

Russia, Murmansk region, Teriberka.
The ships that had served their time found their haven near the stranded barge to serve now as a berth. This is what the old teriberka looks like - now the fish here are caught not by local fishermen, but by commercial barges.
This Fraser fir served us well as our Christmas tree but it exceeded it’s “ best before date” . As we carried it out of the house it left a huge trail of needles !
Below view the tree on grass and lots snow….
