Another nature scene from Pali India taken as the sun was rising and a new day was beginning.
I am still not on Flickr on a daily basis. Will return in about a week!. I do try to respond to comments though.

I had a semi-scary experience on this adventure to the woods. As my little dog, Bebe, and I were leaving there was a large german shepherd blocking the exit. Luckily, I know the woods like the back of my hand, so I knew where to escape to find an alternate exit. Even luckier, my dog is a complete airhead and did not notice the german shepherd following close behind as we walked briskly through the trails. Bebe (a.k.a the doofus) did not notice the large dog, despite it being literally five feet behind us. It wasn't until we reached a fork in the trails that Bebe finally turned around and saw the other dog. The german shepherd suddenly jumped up and down as if to engage Bebe in play, but Bebe just stared at the german shepherd for a few seconds, sneezed, and then went back to smelling the dirt. The other dog then gave up and took the right trail at the fork that led back into the woods. Bebe and I took the left trail that winded back to the parking lot.
So, there you have it. My almost-scary-but-very-anti-climatic- adventure in the woods.
On another note, this is my first time trying the expansion technique. Don't look to closely, there might be a couple of mistakes!
In your mind's eye, can you imagine a family planting this tree decades ago beside their little new farm house out on the vast prairielands of western Illinois? Together, this tree and house have withstood the ravages of untold bitter winters and sweltering summers. Now abandoned, the house is going the way of all the Earth. Long after it has finally collapsed, however, the tree will stand as a living memorial to the struggles, joys, and love that once was here.
The people and horses have disappeared from this scene. In their place are some cattle penned up in the yard. They stand beside the decaying farmhouse, which is visible from Highway 136 near Chili, Illinois. On some visits there, I've seen cattle almost on the front porch.

Update March 2019: On a trip back from Quincy to Macomb, Illinois, I was dismayed to find that this old house had been torn down. Alas... it was such a great spot for photography!

Beautiful big leaves on a statuesque Tulip Tree "Liriodendron tulipifera" at Johnstown Castle. I'd never heard of this tree before, it was magnificent. HGGT!

Tirana Community Bicycle ishte projekti I PASS, për të rikthyer një mënyrë të lirë transporti dhe miqësore me mjedisin. Projekti synonte punësimin e të rinjve në një sipërmarrje sa sociale dhe mjedisore. Dhurimi i biçikletave për fëmijët e familjeve në nevojë, shitja e biçikletave të lira, të përdorura, shëtitje me biçikleta, kurse pedalimi dhe së fundmi stacione të biçikletave, ishin objektivat e këtij projekti.
Ndryshe nga sistemet e tjera të biçikletave të superfinancuara, me një mbështetje të gjerë qeveritare, komunitare dhe me një infrastrukturë gjysëm të gatshme, ecovolis erdhi me një financim modest të OSFA-së. Biçikletat u dhuruan nga një organizatë amerikane Pedal for Progress, ndërsa pjesa tjetër ishte një punë e palodhshme e një skuadre plot energji dhe passion për atë që po bënin.
Në tetor të vitit 2010 u krijua identiteti i biçikletës. Emri Ecovolis, Fluturim Ekologjik, bashkimi i dy fjalëve eco (ekologjike) dhe volis (fluturim), ngjyrat e simboleve kombëtare kuq e zi, kosh i bardhë dhe Sigla shumëngjyrëshe ecovolis.
Pas një fushate të gjerë aktivitetesh ndërgjegjësuese në krijimin e frymës dhe kulturës biçikletë në datë 23 Mars 2011 fillon stacioni I parë Ecovolis në Ish Parkun Rinia. Rradhë të Gjata të rinjsh dhe një habi e madhe te qytetarët e Tiranës. Brenda pak muajsh hapen dhe 3 stacione të tjera në Tiranë dhe 2 në Durrës.
Saw this tree from the road yesterday when I was driving home from the gym. Returned this morning with the camera.
