Most of my pictures are taken in and around the city of Molde, witch is the capital of Møre og Romsdal, in the country of Norway
A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over a hundred species and thousands of cultivars.
They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds.

Orion plants his left, then swings through with his right as he executes a turn while running free at full speed on scent in the forest near my home...
Weather-wise, the day was nice. While January was mostly cloudy and gloomy with drizzle, we've been remarkably snow-free, so far. I'll take it. One good day is one less chance for a bad one. The rest of the week looks more like a typical February, our worst Winter month for cold, snow and ice storms.

Before fibre optics was ever thought of nature was there first...Hydrangea stem showing the intricate feeding system that delivers nutrients to the buds. Love nature! ☺
I made some new textures for this one which I will share with you but I'm off for drinks with friends now so that will have to wait until I get back or maybe tomorrow, depending on how many drinkies I have...
Have a nice evening/morning/afternoon
and remember...
Be smashing to each other.
Last night I was privileged to attend a lecture by prominent African American educator, advocate and mathematician Freeman Hrabowski III. His appearance was part of a yearly lecture series sponsored by the wife of the late Senator Mark O. Hatfield.
Hrabowski spoke about his journey as a young child in Alabama listening to Dr. Martin Luther King speak, marching for civil rights and being jailed at 12 years old. How his first name stems from the first "free man" born in his family and his last denoting the last name of his families ancestral Polish slave owner Hrabowski. He is now President of one of the most successful research universities in the country, served as the chair for an Obama advisory committee, and speaks around the world about bringing diversity and equality to STEM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Math) research. He's a rare mix of supreme intelligence and personality to match.
The lecture and the stats he provided made me think about my trip to South Carolina and my first encounter with that dark part of US history. This photo is of the historic slave cabins that still reside at Boone Plantation in Mt. Pleasant. We heard unfiltered stories about the brutal living conditions, inhumane treatment, and how many slaves didn't even survive the arduous trip to the US. A lot has changed since then, but the systemic problems still exist....even in institutions of higher learning.
Hrabowski ended his lecture with this, "“Watch your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your character, and your character become your destiny!” Inspiring words from an inspiring person.

Surely one of the most alien-looking plants on the planet!
This is in the Temperate House at Kew Gardens.
Painting my kitchen today, "French Blue", which is probably an inappropriate color for a kitchen, but we like it.
Have a good weekend, and I will check your photos soon!
