This unique flower was in a bouquet I received for a birthday gift. I'm thinking it's a Chrysanthemum but if it's something else, please let me know.
Thank you all so much for your visits, faves and comments. Have a lovely day!
Uniqueness seperates from others!.

Thank you for your friendly visits and valued comments.

there was a type of peace over and around me, during the time when this shot was taken. it was calm. it was for sure something I cant explain, but unique. Profound. I was by myself, but I didnt feel lonely.

Old, unique, and full of personality… The Tufa is otherworldly, but you need to search to find the best views. When we finally arrived at the South Tufa in the afternoon, we were thrilled and surprised by the number and beauty of these incredible God made structures on the lake... There is an easy boardwalk trail down to the Lake. The views are magnificent and beautiful. This lake is often used as the face of 'wish you were here' postcards, and deservedly so.

She turned to chapter thirteen of her story,
Her favorite chapter of them all,
A guardian angel so unique,
Hardly ever spoken about,
Your memories are what she guards,
Deciding when it was right to shelve some, shove some in drawers or bring out some in tsunami waves,
She is the culprit who releases butterflies in your stomach,
Sometime she is mischievous,
Sometimes she can be cruel,
But most of the time she is sincere,
Memories can be fragile,
If shaken, it can shatter and break,
Time adds more and more,
But also takes away what it gave,
It's difficult to puzzle the pieces back together,
There are things you need to remember to be able to forget...
and this is a beautiful, beautiful thing, grasshopper.

Grasshoppers are insects of the suborder Caelifera within the order Orthoptera, which includes crickets and their allies in the other suborder Ensifera. They are probably the oldest living group of chewing herbivorous insects, dating back to the early Triassic around 250 million years ago. Grasshoppers are typically ground-dwelling insects with powerful hind legs which enable them to escape from threats by leaping vigorously. They are hemimetabolous insects (they do not undergo complete metamorphosis) which hatch from an egg into a nymph or "hopper" which undergoes five moults, becoming more similar to the adult insect at each developmental stage. At high population densities and under certain environmental conditions, some grasshopper species can change colour and behaviour and form swarms. Under these circumstances they are known as locusts.

It is standing there like a visitor from another world, this small beech surrounded by large and small spruce trees. It's a late riser, because even though it's mid-April it is still in it's hibernation pajama.
A few years ago, the future tree took the chance when a few of the big ones fell at this point, allowing more light to reach the forest floor. Now it bravely fights it's way up into the canopy before the window can close again.
Since it's life expectancy is significantly higher than that of it's neighbors, there is a chance that one day (in 3 to 400 years) it will tower above everything around it. An ecosystem in itself, which provides shelter and food for tons of other life forms. Until then, however, it is still a long way and not without danger.
I would love to come back here than to take a look.
Wie ein Besucher aus einer anderen Welt steht sie da, diese kleine Buche, umringt von großen und kleinen Fichten. Sie ist ein Spätaufsteher, denn obwohl es schon Mitte April ist, hat sie immer noch den Schlafanzug von Ihrer Winterruhe an.
Vor ein paar Jahren hat sie die Chance genutzt, als an dieser Stelle ein paar der Großen gefallen sind und damit mehr Licht den Waldboden erreicht hat. Nun kämpft sie sich wacker nach oben ins Kronendach bevor sich das Fenster wieder schließen kann.
Da ihre Lebenserwartung deutlich über der Ihrer Nachbarn liegt besteht die Chance, dass sie einmal (so in 3 bis 400 Jahren) alles um sich herum überragt. Ein Ökosystem für sich, welches Unmengen anderer Lebensformen Schutz und Nahrung bietet. Bis dahin, ist es allerdings noch ein weiter und nicht ungefährlicher Weg.
Ich würde dann zu gern hierher zurück kommen, um mir das einmal anzusehen.

The unique church of St. Nicholas in Horodysh was the oldest church building in Menshchyna. In 2016, the church was moved to the National Museum of Folk Architecture and Life in Pirogov.
St. Nicholas Church was built in Horodysh in 1763, it consisted of a four-sided nave, an eight-sided hall and a six-sided altar. By the way, the structure was built without a single nail.
In 2016, the church was dismantled and moved to Pirogov. Only the foundation remained in Horodysh.
In the restored church, the walls are the same as in Horodyshche, and the outside is decorated with modern materials.
Унікальний храм Святого Миколая в Городищі, був найстарішою церковною спорудою на Менщині. У 2016 році церкву перевезли до Національного музею народної архітектури та побуту, що в Пирогові.
Свято-Миколаївська церква зведена в Городищі 1763 року, складалася з чотиригранного бабинця, восьмигранної зали і шестигранного вівтаря. До речі, споруду побудовали без жодного цвяха.
2016 року храм розібрали і перевезли до Пирогова. У Городищі залишився тільки фундамент.
У відреставрованої церкви стіни стоять ті, що й в Городищі, а ззовні оздобили сучасними матеріалами.

Started with a photo of mine taken a few weeks ago in our front yard. Shot as square so didn’t crop. Used normal oil painting effect at 50%. Then used Adobe photoshop express paper effect PA27. Left without border.
Unique pair of historical railway bridges constructed in the late 19th century.
On 12 September 1931 a mentally challanged man named Szilveszter Matuska blew up the bridge under a train travelling to Vienna. 22 people died.
The act of Matuska was considered a Communist coup and resulted in the introduction of martial law.
this is just one of the incredibly beautiful mountainscapes I had the chance to see after coming back from a hike in the Andes, right at the Argentina-Chile border. The car was moving but the landscape was unique, so I did my best to get it right. no time for tripods nor for second chances, think fast and shoot fast. special thanks to the bus driver whom kindly slowed down a bit to help me out.
"Unique among North American raptors for its diet of live fish and ability to dive into water to catch them... Ospreys are very large, distinctively shaped hawks. Despite their size, their bodies are slender, with long, narrow wings and long legs." Cornell Lab of Ornithology Photographed in the wild, Florida, USA.

Peyrieras Madagascar Exotic Reserve
Uroplatus lineatus is a gecko which is found in eastern Madagascar and on the island Nosy Bohara. These geckos live on trees in tropical rain forests and on bamboo plants. They reach a total length of 270 mm or 10.63 in. Threats to this species are posed by deforestation and illegal pet trade.
Leaf-tailed or Uroplatus geckos are one of Madagascar's most unique species. These moderate- to large-sized geckos rely on cryptic coloration as they sleep with their heads downward, flattened against tree trunks and adjusting their body coloration to their surroundings.
Inactive during the day, Uroplatus geckos move only when disturbed. They respond to prodding with an impressive display of a brightly colored gaping mouth and an erect tail. At night they hunt insects. – Wikipedia

Many, many thanks ♥♥
A uniquely-patterned, medium-sized hummingbird, the adult male White-necked Jacobin has a blue head and chest, a sharply contrasting white nape, a green back and blackish wings. The White-necked Jacobin can be found in a variety of habitats from humid forest canopies, to tall second growth forests, and even in coffee and cacao plantations. White-necked Jacobin can be found within its broad range feeding on nectar and small arthropods; occasionally, many will concentrate at flowering trees where they are aggressive and even territorial to one another. Although uncommon throughout most of its large range, the White-necked Jacobin's population is believed to be stable, and consequently has not been placed on any threatened species lists. Here you can see a juvenile (left) and an adult (right).
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Darling,
open your eyes.
You are not made up of those words that hurt you.
Or that number on the scale.
Or the expectations that you feel you will never meet.
You are made up of nothing more than you.
Simply,
beautifully,
wonderfully,
uniquely you.
You are a lovely and complex soul.
An individually fascinating combination of thoughts,
ideas,
feelings,
emotions.
No other is as beautiful as you.
Look past the mirror.
Look at your soul.
Only then will you see yourself as you truly are.
Beautiful.
So smile!
And don’t forget to love yourself.

The unique rock formations at Mupe Bay next to Dorset's famous Lulworth Cove. The bay is only accessible by crossing the British Army's heavy gun ranges at Mupe, and even then, only via a steep climb up from the village of Lulworth and a walk of several miles from the car park. Ive visited several times now, always early in the morning, and never once seen another soul there despite Lulworth itself being one of the biggest tourist traps in the county
The least colorful part of this colorful plant is what caught my attention -- a single white flower.
“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”
— Henry David Thoreau, Walden
Recently was able to explore the Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA. Here's another shot of the exterior: flic.kr/p/2rRCsgu . So many amazing, unique views and perspectives including this vanishing point "looking up" angle. Then decided to jazz it up a bit with just a touch of the "blues". Not sure what the name of the building is, that can be seen through the glass in this pathway that I was walking through on the 5th floor. This was a magical experience, highly recommend taking it in.
A unique dimension that the beam of sunlight bought into the Canyon, a smoky soul. It is the falling sand that is shimmering in the sunlight.
One of my most favorite of places on earth! This one is from he upper Antelope Canyon.
I took the photography tour where you get more time and get to take a tripod with you. The canyon gets this beam of straight sunlight for a few minutes that makes the canyon a magical place to be at!
I can spend the whole week walking and taking pictures here (only if I don't have to earn a living!). Every curve gives you a unique perspective and every turn is an entirely different world!
