I suspect the crazily mild graduation into winter that we had here meant that the tree that usually goes brilliant red only went yellow and orange this year but I am loving the magenta leaf stalks!
Not the horror film ! Autumn leaves I shot the other day over a canal bridge near home. The turning of the leaves is here at last, autumn has been slow to start in our warmer than average temperatures.

I love this music and the words express so much.

It was cold and windy on the hill, but sunset turned out to be pretty good. The Cotswold Way at the end of May. Lansdown Hill, near Bath. BANES, England, UK.
Turning Torso is a neo-futurist residential skyscraper built in Malmö, Sweden in 2005. It was the tallest building in the Nordic region until September 2022, when it was surpassed by Karlatornet in Gothenburg, which is still under construction. Located on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait, it was built and is owned by Swedish cooperative housing association HSB. It is regarded as the second twisted skyscraper in the world to receive the title after Telekom Tower in Malaysia.
It was designed by Spanish architect, structural engineer, sculptor and painter Santiago Calatrava and officially opened on 27 August 2005. It reaches a height of 190 m (620 ft) with 54 stories and 147 apartments. Turning Torso won the 2005 Gold Emporis Skyscraper Award; and in 2015, the 10 Year Award from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat
.... the geraniums that I keep in pots in the porch begin to open as white petals, but then they turn a gentle pink, and finally a deep pink. These few flowers are at various stages of opening out. There's a link to the porch full of geraniums in the first comment field
For the "Looking close... on Friday!" challenge "Pretty in Pink"
Hoping that you have a happy and relaxing weekend

While beautiful, this dying leaf evokes a sense of poignancy in me as it is a vivid reminder of the turning seasons and that time ruthlessly marches on.
Inaugurated in 1998, the Hemisfèric was the first building in the City of Arts and Sciences to open its doors to the public.
Designed by Santiago Calatrava, it features an ovoid shell over 100 meters in diameter, housing a large spherical projection room.
It represents a large human eye, the eye of wisdom. This element symbolizes the gaze and observation of the world, which visitors discover through surprising audiovisual projections.

Inaugurato nel 1998, l'Hemisfèric è stato il primo edificio della Ciutat de les Arts le Ciències che ha aperto le sue porte al pubblico.
È stato progettato da Santiago Calatrava, con un guscio ovoidale lungo più di 100 metri di diametro, che ospita all'interno una grande sala di proiezione a sfera.
Rappresenta un grande occhio umano, l'occhio della saggezza. Questo elemento simboleggia lo sguardo e l'osservazione del mondo che i visitatori scoprono attraverso sorprendenti proiezioni audiovisive.

Like the Magpie, this Red Wattle bird will come into my house if the food dish is empty. Sometimes it accompanies the Magpie, it knows that I will give food which he catches in his beak. When I step out into my yard each morning, he is among the first birds to greet me. Unlike some other birds, he does not demand to be fed, instead he makes repeated discreet visits when there are fewer birds around, and will come within arms reach of me, and take food from my hand.
River, that is. An oxbow in BC's Toad River caught my eye. Nice stormy drama as well.
If you want to get away I recommend northern British Columbia. A few more pics from this remote area along the Al Can Highway in comments.
Your views, faves and suggestions are always appreciated!
Have a wonderful Father's Day weekend!
