Very damp and grizzly day in North Wales. It was amazing to see the different shades in the slate and rock made wet from the rain.
Most pups tend to sleep off a rather large meal. This grey seal pup was very lively and a complete cutey... lots of engagement with the camera.
Donna Nook is a wonderful place to visit on the Lincolnshire coast. There tends to be a really biting cold wind coming in from the sea but you forget all that with the wonders of what is on that beach. My friend and I witnessed a birth and..... unfortunately lots of fighting between naturally protective mothers protecting their pups and males wanting their pick of who to mate with. Then of course there are the numerous pups who, when awake, will grace your camera with some lovely images.

A very simple photo , but the simplicity of the ocean and coastlines are my happy place. Just your basic sea, sky, sand.
In solitude, I find solace by the sea,
Where peace whispers its tranquil melody.
The ocean's embrace, a sanctuary deep,
Where worries fade and souls, sweet release.
Hope everyone is having a great week.

Cattle—colloquially cows—are the most common type of large domesticated ungulates. They are a prominent modern member of the subfamily Bovinae, are the most widespread species of the genus Bos, and are most commonly classified collectively as Bos taurus.
Cattle are commonly raised as livestock for meat (beef or veal, see beef cattle), for milk (see dairy cattle), and for hides, which are used to make leather. They are used as riding animals and draft animals (oxen or bullocks, which pull carts, plows and other implements). Another product of cattle is dung, which can be used to create manure or fuel. In some regions, such as parts of India, cattle have significant religious meaning. Cattle, mostly small breeds such as the Miniature Zebu, are also kept as pets.
Around 10,500 years ago, cattle were domesticated from as few as 80 progenitors in central Anatolia, the Levant and Western Iran. According to an estimate from 2011, there are 1.4 billion cattle in the world. In 2009, cattle became one of the first livestock animals to have a fully mapped genome.

These teeny, seemingly fragile, very beautiful little Rosemary flowers are on a little plant in a 4" pot in the greenhouse. Is at max 1:1 magnification and also taken in aps-c, so effectively 1.5x, but with a 1.0 d.o.f. and a bit of a crop thrown in.
They were pretty awkward to photograph - I took some photos first and then uploaded in order to get an idea of what they were like, which didn't really help that much as even with the 20x was difficult to tell what was what on these pretty complex flowers, then I took a lot of various little flowers and angles but only a couple worth keeping. A bit hit and miss to say the least :^)
Thank you very much everyone for your comments, awards, invites and faves!! <3

Very large, primarily ground-based cuckoo. Adults are streaked rusty brown in nonbreeding plumage. In breeding plumage the head and front are black. They can fly, but are more typically seen running/flapping across roads, or clumsily crashing into dense vegetation. Unlike many cuckoos this species builds its own nest and does not lay eggs in nests of other species. Voice is a familiar repeated ‘whoop,’ and a screeching cat-like hiss. (eBird)

We heard coucals many times during our trip, but this was one of the very few times we actually saw one. It was in the midst of its morning ablutions and sun bath (hence the ruffled feathers on its back), when we came around the bend in the river. It stopped briefly to peer at us, determined we were not a threat (it was far away and very high), and went back to its bath.

Amersfoort is a very historic and atmospheric city east of Amsterdam. It has many beautiful medieval buildings that are well maintained. It is a busy place with just over 150,000 inhabitants.
The first villagers probably settled in Amersfoort around the 11th century, as it was a strategic location near a fortress in the river. This would most likely have been important for both trade and travel, as all travelers heading that way would have to pass through the village to cross the river.
Being in such a good trading location, the village grew and prospered quickly and soon more permanent buildings were established around the central area. The city was chartered to become a city in the late 13th century and soon the construction of the city walls began.
Construction of the new church began in the mid-15th century. this lasted well and the city continued to grow until 1787, there was a massive explosion in the church, which destroyed most of the main building. The high tower (Onze Lieve Vrouwe Toren - Lange Jan), with a length of almost 100 meters, has remained and still stands. Amersfoort had also become an important trade center for tobacco and textiles.
