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!
There was a large mixed flock of small shorebirds at East Beach, Fort DeSoto Park. There were adult and juvenile, male and female, winter and breeding plumages of many species, which made identification a heavy task as they all scurried, flew, or turned away. But there were a few Ruddy Turnstones (as in the picture) that, true to their name, were engaged in turning things over, looking for breakfast morsels.
One is never really alone when hiking Tre Cime di Lavaredo circuit.... and this was the off-season! After turning this corner, we had almost completed the route.
Now that I'm at home from my trip to the Dolomites, you can find me on Twitter

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.
Don't we all have some in our lives? A decision we took, a choice we made, or even one we are about to make. All can be turning points in our lives. And some will just change our focus, or our direction, while others will change our lives forever and ultimately they will define us...
Can be frightening, right? But as intimidating this might sound, keep one thing in mind. Just one thing that makes all the difference in the world.
We are the ones holding that steering wheel. No...?
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

There is a huge squadron of Japanese Anemones in the garden at the moment, basking in the April sun. They love Autumn in Sydney.

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.

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!
