There 's nothing like cool temperatures and fresh air to raise the spirits. during my forays to the Alabama Hills the temperature can get up into the 100's and when they do, this is where I seek refuge. At around 9000 ft in elevation the difference in temperature is about 15 degrees and there nothing better the a fine mist that floats away from the falls right onto your weary soul.

Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great Weekend!! :)

Another one of them 'just popping by with an upload from my mobile phone' since I am still away from home.

Most of them have now left the place.

I did this photo of this one through my window

yes this is a kind of test :)

That's why I'm above him

La plupart d'entre eux ont maintenant quitté les lieux.

J'ai fait cette photo de celui-ci à travers ma fenêtre

Oui en quelque sorte c'est aussi un test :)

C'est pour cela que je suis au dessus

Our bottlebrush shrubs are bursting like crazy in our yard. The bees and hummingbirds love them so we can't get too close. They just remind me of fireworks!

This nest was right against the wall of my bedroom and there was a constant stream of visitors which didn't appear to bother them in the slightest.

I have collected them over the last 35 years from many countries during my travels.

Great to see them back

''The Furies were the three goddesses of vengeance: Tisiphone (avenger of murder), Megaera (the jealous) and Alecto (constant anger). They were also called the Daughters of the Night, but were actally the daughters of Uranus and Gaea. Another name for them is the Erinyes.''

Just follow me! And these two Grizzly Bear cubs will never be too far from moms side.

I think this week I will post mainly orchids - for a change Stay tuned

Photos are from 2022, no second life! ( I have too many of them)

Eurasian Jays are vociferous acorn eaters, although they do enjoy seeds and insects – and that is just what this bird is searching for in a garden in Holloway, Derbyshire. The Jay is very attractive: it’s a blend of pink and brown on its body, and its wings are mainly black with some white patches but with a striking blue-black striped feature which makes them easy to spot in the garden.

Life is a journey

Feelings of hopelessness

Loneliness, she sweeps them all away

Able…Graceful…

And always keeps her promises

Every end has a new beginning

Unexpected things will happen

There will always be a silver lining

Time heals all sorrows

Get over, no worries

'cause nothing is more precious than love

Noble… Faithful…

She's as pure as the driven snow

Oh, dear heart… So sweet

It's her way of life

No doubt about her sincerity, uh…

A fragile beauty, one and only

She's not only gentle but brave

With honest eyes, it's true

Lost in the labyrinth

Never know what love means

She's truly a treasure, peace of mind

No fears… No more tears…

Set the spirit free and stay alive

Oh, dear heart… So please

Time heals all sorrows

Get over, no worries

'cause nothing is more precious than love

Noble… Faithful…

She's as pure as the driven snow

Oh, dear heart… So sweet

Ah, now and forever

Never forget her

Don't ever change and stay the same

Oh, dear heart… So sweet

Oh, dear heart… So sweet

Happy sunday all

Mom has been gone a few years but she always grew peonys along the side yard. Recently, while in Kentucky they started blooming and this is one of them. I know she would be proud of her flowers!!!

So Mom, this one is for you!!! :-)

Standing tall, proudly and confident but two of them kept a close eye on me !!

I must look clueless when I am out shooting and have sad puppy dog eyes were friendly people want to help correct my ways.

On this sunset, I was at Panorama Point in Capitol Reef National Park. The "view" is the opposite direction, and I was set up with my tripod looking in the opposite direction from everyone else.

Three separate people came up to me, letting me know where I was supposed to be shooting. I thanked them for their kindness and stood my ground :-)

The Brain—is wider than the Sky—

For—put them side by side—

The one the other will contain

With ease—and You—beside—

The Brain is deeper than the sea—

For—hold them—Blue to Blue—

The one the other will absorb—

As Sponges—Buckets—do—

The Brain is just the weight of God—

For—Heft them—Pound for Pound—

And they will differ—if they do—

As Syllable from Sound—

Emily Dickinson, ‘The Brain is wider than the Sky’.

Albert likes to give the Kayaks about seventy metres start. He then takes off after them, when he gets level with them, he tries to hit them with his open wing. Fortunately he usually hits the boat!

Believe..

Children sleeping

Snow is softly falling

Dreams are calling

Likes bells in the distance

We were dreamers

Not so long ago

But one by one

We all had to grow up

When it seems the magic slipped away

We find it all again on Christmas Day

Believe in what your heart is saying

Hear the melody that's playing

There's no time to waste

There's so much to celebrate

Believe in what you feel inside

And give your dreams the wings to fly

You have everything you need

If you just believe

Trains move quickly

To their journey's end

Destinations

Are where we begin again

Ships go sailing

Far across the sea

Trusting starlight

To get where they need to be

When it seems that we have lost our way

We find ourselves again on Christmas Day

Believe in what your heart is saying

Hear the melody that's playing

There's no time to waste

There's so much to celebrate

Believe in what you feel inside

And give your dreams the wings to fly

You have everything you need

If you just believe

If you just believe

If you just believe

If you just believe

Just believe

Just believe

J'ai trouvé avec beaucoup de plaisir ce bouquet de Champignons sur un de mes vieux troncs de plante de Jade. C'est surtout un sujet des plus intéressants à prendre en macro pour le thème Texture à venir. #Macro #MacroMondays #Texture

Many viewers have commented that The Guardian Building (originally The Union Trust Company Building) reminded them of a church.

This picture shows approximately half of the bank lobby on the main floor. Imagine the original bank building with 60-90 bank teller cages lining the entire length of both sides of this "nave". The ceiling was composed of a 3/4 inch (1.9cm) of horsehair and coated with a layer of plaster cement. Then, a canvas layer was applied, and painted with designs reminiscent of the patterns of Navajo rugs. This was a sound-deadening system.

The "altar piece" ( I suppose) was the three-story mural of the map of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Highlighted were the major Michigan moneymakers of the1890s to 1920s: mining, manufacturing, lumber, fishing, commerce, and agriculture. It was completed in 1929, unfortunately the year of the beginning of "The Great Depression".

This superbly decorated Art-Deco bank building was nicknamed "The Cathedral of Finance." So, if the earlier pictures reminded you of a church (reprised in the first comment below) --you were very observant : -)
