The Fairy Pools are a natural waterfall phenomenon in Glen Brittle on the Isle of Skye. The vivid blues and greens of the pools suggest an unnatural origin. They are a popular place for wild swimmers.
The habitat of the Fairy Pools hosts a variety of animals, such as red deer, rabbits, and sheep. The area is also host to a large number of birds. Large flocks of crows, ravens, and gulls are present in the area, as well as such smaller birds as meadow pipits, turnstones, common ringed plovers, grey herons, dunlins, and curlews. The physical landscape is predominately rocky, with some boggy areas here and there. The water in the area is typically cold.
The Fairy Pools are a popular location for walkers. It is about a 20 minute walk to the Fairy Pools from the Glen Brittle car park.

Sweet gum (Liquidambar) leaves against an autumn sky, Perry Hall, Maryland. Sweet gums show a wide variety of leaf color -- see my "Sweet gums, aka sweetgums" album.
Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?
I have always loved these yellow rosellas, which are actually a variety of the crimson rosella. Very common in areas along the Murray River, this one was a regular visitor to a tree in front of our cabin in Mildura in Victoria.
I was not alone while checking out the blooms in the display garden at Swan Island Dahlia Farm in Canby, Oregon! I love dahlias - there's such a wide variety of types!
Sometimes the sea looks grey or with an assortment of blues and adding a touch of white foam or sea diamonds. Pastels, reflections ripples, patterns and the intensity of the sun add to the variety of sea artwork to be appreciated.
It is the first year we have this variety of daffodils in the garden. As you may have seen in photos I posted earlier on, they are not all identical.
Visiting Cardinals the local cardinals like to visit my neighbors bird feeder, I guess they like the variety, shot in North Carolina.

Back in 2009, two SD60s, one each INRD and SOO along with an SD40-2XR from MRL lead a K203 from Roseport, MN, for the INRD at Fayette, IN. Fifteen more miles lay ahead as it passes the north end of Clinton siding on CSX.

NS 265 splits the searchlight signals at Afton, NY, on the D&H Freight Main with a colorful consist behind SD60E #6953.
While most of the images I post are of abandoned places, this is not. This beauty is on it way to being refurbished.
Characteristics
Large, green variety that sings with a hard, sharp rattle. The wings are broad and long: they are about twice the length of the abdomen. In the female they reach to the tip of the ovipositor. The females have a long, almost straight ovipositor.
Habitat
The species lives in sprouting, firm herbs and firm thickets such as bramble vegetation. There, despite their size and sound, they are quite difficult to find: the green is a good protective color, the animals turn away behind a stem and they stop singing when you get close. (MVV).
Appearance
General throughout the Netherlands.
Kenmerken
Grote, groene soort, die zingt met een harde, scherpe ratel. De vleugels zijn breed en lang: ze zijn ongeveer twee maal de achterlijflengte. Bij het vrouwtje reiken ze tot aan de punt van de legboor. De vrouwtjes hebben een lange, vrijwel rechte legboor.
Habitat
De soort leeft in opgeschoten, stevige kruiden en in stevige struweelzomen zoals bramevegetaties. Daar zijn ze, ondanks hun grootte en geluid, best lastig te vinden: het groen is een goede schutkleur, de dieren draaien weg achter een stengel en ze stoppen met zingen als je in de buurt komt. (mvv).
Voorkomen
Algemeen in heel Nederland.
И от осени не спрятаться, не скрыться....
Maple, (Acer), any of a large genus (about 200 species) of shrubs or trees in the family Sapindaceae, widely distributed in the North Temperate Zone but concentrated in China. Maples constitute one of the most important groups of ornamentals for planting in lawns, along streets, and in parks. They offer a great variety of form, size, and foliage; many display striking autumn colour. Several yield maple syrup, and some provide valuable, dense hard wood for furniture and other uses. All maples bear pairs of winged seeds, called samaras or keys. The leaves are arranged oppositely on twigs. Many maples have lobed leaves, but a few have leaves separated into leaflets.
An empty limestone train heads through Bear Trap Curve on its way to Proctor. An interesting mix of power leads the way.
The joint Union Pacific and Utah Railway yard was packed with interesting equipment the morning of Aug. 27, 1978. Parked along the turntable pit are GP7 No. 120, GP30 No. 873, and GP9 No. 312. TR5 “Cow & Calf” No. 1875/1875B are spotted on the roundhouse lead while Utah Railway wood caboose No. 60 is parked out of service on a side track.
The variety and shapes of icebergs is endless and like snowflakes, no two are alike. I particularly like the older blue disintegrating icebergs with their fantastic shapes. This berg had beautiful blue caves, The mountains of Jameson Land are in the background. Hall Bredning, Scoresby Sund, East Greenland.

Almost no traffic on the streets of Beacon Hill and many streets with no cars at all! Myrtle Street, Beacon Hill, Boston, MA, headed toward the Charles River
The autumnal vine leaves have a great variety of colours, different shades of red, orange, yellow and green. My favourites are usually the red ones but the yellow leaves also look spectacular when they are glowing in the sunlight.
I was taking photos of the Wildfire that burnt near Brookmere, BC this summer and noticed that this Spruce tree still had some green branches while the other trees seemed to perish. Then I noticed that there was a variety of different conifers growing side by side. As well as the Spruce, there is a Lodgepole Pine, a Ponderosa Pine, and what I think is a fir tree. Interesting that this area is suitable for all these different types of trees.
I give a lot of attention to the Utah desert. But I love the mountains just as much. Thankful to live amongst such beautiful variety.
