The splendor of pancake ice during its formative phase enhanced by sun rays revealing contrasts in multi parallel layers.
Floating clouds colored by a setting sun and separated by contrails (airplane vapor trails) make for splendor in the sky.
This splendorous view is my favorite site on Old Mission Peninsula, located in my favorite area of Michigan.
Mission Peninsula has been one of the leading producers of cherries in the United States. Each year, however, it seems more and more of the peninsula has become devoted to grapes, and many varieties of Michigan wine are now produced in the peninsula's wineries.
“The splendor of the rose and the whitness of the lily do not rob the little violet of it’s scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its lovliness.”
Therese of Lisieux quotes
Have a lovely day and thank you for coming by.
Cháteau Peyrepertuse
El castillo de Peyrepertuse se encuentra en la región de Languedoc Roussillion y es considerado una de las estructuras cátaras más destacables de la región. Fue construido en el siglo XI en lo alto de una inmensa roca con la que se lo confunde a la distancia. No es sino hasta que uno está muy cerca del castillo que nota su presencia y es capaz de apreciar su innegable esplendor.
El lugar fue ocupado por los romanos mucho antes de la construcción del castillo. Dos siglos después de su edificación, fue entregado a los cruzados, en el año 1240 y formó parte de la Corona Catalano-Aragonesa. Desde entonces, fue una pieza clave en la defensa de la frontera con el por entonces reino de Castilla y así permaneció hasta el siglo XVII, cuando el Tratado de los Pirineos dio fin a la disputa por el territorio con los franceses, y la reubicación de la línea divisoria entre ambos países dejó al castillo lejos del límite.
The castle of Peyrepertuse is in the region of Languedoc Roussillion and is considered one of the most noteworthy cátaras structures of the region. It was built in the XI century in the top of an immense rock with the that it confuses the distance. It is not until one is very close to the castle that note its presence and is able to appreciate its undeniable splendor. The place was occupied by the Romans long before the construction of the castle.
Two centuries after its construction, was delivered to the crusaders, in the year 1240 and formed part of the Crown Catalano-Aragonesa. Since then, was a key piece in the defense of the border with the then Kingdom of Castile and remained there until the seventeenth century, when the Treaty of the Pyrenees gave end to the dispute over the territory with the French, and the relocation of the dividing line between the two countries left the castle away from limit.
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass,
of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.
-- William Wordsworth

Nature is not just beautiful, at times it exceeds the limits of our imagination. With the state in which natural communities of animals and plants exist, there is also adaptation, competition, and other interactions between the members of nature.
Matthew 6:29: “Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of these flowers.”
Was a great way to start a day by pushing it up the Misery Trail swiftly in the dark to be in position to catch the first light on this primordial section of Smith Rock. It was admittedly better when I topped out, slowed down and enjoyed this morning splendor.
Thanks for taking a look. Always appreciated.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Cardoon is an architectural splendor with bold texture, thanks to its large, prickly, almost dagger-shaped gray-green arching leaves and a statuesque, vase-shaped frame. It is topped with round, purple, thistlelike flowers in midsummer. Cardoon can reach up to 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide.
Noteworthy Characteristics
A close cousin of the artichoke, this native to the well-drained, sunny slopes of the southwest Mediterranean. It produces magnificent flowerheads that can be cut and dried for arrangements. Edible leaf stalks and midribs are tasty when blanched. Unopened flowerheads can be eaten like artichokes.

My love has come along
My dream's become a song
My days are bright and sunny
Funny why I'm so blue
The man is like a drug
Humiliating and I can't get enough
Love and all it's splendor
Has surrendered it's every blow
Bad is the blues that I know
If this is love
What was I thinking
If this is love
What the hell am I, am I gonna do
And that man has got me sinking
To the bottom of the blue
It's what I choose
Love is the baddest blues
The joy versus the pain
No my joy it ain't the same
So I'll put it plain and simple
Just like front page news
Love is the baddest blues
Love is the baddest blues
If this is love
What was I thinking
If this is love
What the hell am I, am I gonna do
And that man has got me sinking
To the bottom of the blue
Guess that I lose
Love is the baddest blues
