Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them, however! Thanks again!!
I trust you enough to peel back my protective shell, my layers of doubt and fear, until I am completely exposed to you.

Trust, according to many, needs to be earned but cannot be taken for granted. The idea of trust is that one is comfortable with sharing thoughts and secrets with the person he/ she believes is reliable. Out of the many times you needed them, they were there for you. But what if that person turned out to be unreliable as a friend to confide in and he/ she ended up not deserving that trust?
Who would catch you when you fall?
For me, trust is given from the very start to every single person I meet, until something in my gut tells me they shouldn’t be trusted. Not to say I end up hating the people and ignoring them, but rather that I wouldn’t confide in them my personal thoughts and opinions.

This quote from Christopher Logue is about risk and trust - taking that 'leap of faith'
Stourhead garden changes with the light levels and position of the sun. The Pantheon may catch your eye one minute; then as the sun emerges from behind a cloud, the tulip tree on the island is bathed in light, followed by the Temple of Apollo.
The view from the Pantheon looks back toward the Temple of Flora, the Palladian bridge and the ancient parish church of St Peter’s, set remarkably against a panoramic bank of exotic trees.
The cavalcade of breathtaking vistas from around the garden surprise, inspire and enamour you, in a way that would make Henry Hoare II a proud man. For his garden has matured, and grown into the living work of art he sought to create nearly three centuries ago.
I try to treat all creatures with respect and here I have built up an understanding which is based on the trust we have for each other.
I can now offer just half a small sausage and he will take it from between my fingers in a most careful, delicate manner. We can then sit for a while in each other’s company. He yawning, scratching and relaxing; me talking gently and reassuringly.
The rewards to my patience are not only a form of friendship, but surprisingly, an added contentment in my life.
I can also take photographs with ease which might otherwise be very difficult, if not impossible to obtain.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
Henry V111 made a good job of destroying many of the UK's monastic abbeys, however at Fountains Abbey even despite his best efforts there is still a great deal that has survived.
Fountains Abbey was built from 1132 and is regarded as the most complete abbey ruin in the UK. As well as being managed by English Heritage and the National Trust this property is registered as a World Hereitage Site.
The National Trust has laid on a week of illumination at the abbey so we took a punt on the weather being dry and went along last night. Thankfully there is plenty of space so the evening was about as Covid friendly as can be achieved.

You may notice that this green iguana is not in fact green! She came to The Living Rainforest after being a pet for a number of years. It is common in the pet trade to selectively breed individuals with more desirable traits, and artificially create different colour morphs. This can cause issues within the captive population of the species, as it often involves in-breeding.
The green iguana (Iguana iguana), also known as the American iguana or the common green iguana, is a large, arboreal, mostly herbivorous species of lizard of the genus Iguana. Usually, this animal is simply called the iguana. The green iguana ranges over a large geographic area; it is native from southern Brazil and Paraguay as far north as Mexico, and has been introduced from South America to Puerto Rico and is very common throughout the island, where it is colloquially known as gallina de palo ("bamboo chicken" or "chicken of the tree") and considered an invasive species; in the United States, feral populations also exist in South Florida (including the Florida Keys), Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Green iguanas have also successfully colonised the island of Anguilla, arriving on the island in 1995 after rafting across the Caribbean from Guadeloupe, where they were introduced.
A herbivore, it has adapted significantly with regard to locomotion and osmoregulation (the maintenance of constant osmotic pressure in the fluids of an organism by the control of water and salt concentrations) as a result of its diet. It grows to 1.5 m in length from head to tail, although a few specimens have grown more than 2 m with bodyweights upward of 9.1 kg.
This animal is a resident of The Living Rainforest which is an indoor greenhouse tropical rainforest that is located in Hampstead Norreys in Berkshire, England. It is an ecological centre, educational centre and visitor attraction consisting of three glasshouses, operated and run by the Trust for Sustainable Living. The glasshouses are named Amazonica, Lowlands and Small Islands respectively.
The Living Rainforest has been accredited by the Council for Learning Outside of the Classroom and awarded the LOtC Quality Badge. Each year around 25,000 children visit the Living Rainforest as part of their school's curriculum. It is open 7-days a week from 09:30 to 16:00.
