Un nonno spinge la carrozzina del bimbo (o bimba) in una delle magnifiche vie del centro di Biella. Uno splendido lavoro di ebanisteria adorna l'ingresso di questo negozio che ritengo storico.
We were blessed this past week by the appearance of several Snowy Owls (Bubo scandiacus) who visited the Colorado Riviera. Their rare visit is associated with an outbreak of lemmings in the Arctic, providing more food and as a result more eggs laid and more young owls. Being territorial birds, the young Snowy Owls get chased out, and head south during the winter.
This is one of two Snowy Owls that visited Boulder, a young male, and my first sighting. It spent most of the day on the mast of a parked sail boat next to a reservoir. The owl is framed by North Arapaho Peak. I was struck by how thick the feather coating is- only the eyes and talons were not covered by a thick coating of feathers.
This is heavily cropped and poor quality, but an exciting happening for us southerners- no need to comment or fav.
This monarch visited the garden at the farm while I was tending to the animals. I only managed a few shots before she flew away.
It was sooooo good to see the sun all day on Sunday. There was an actual break in our days of grayness. :-)
Archive dive continues with this shot in Badlands National Park during our first visit.
We've been fortunate enough to have visited 54 U.S. national parks and 8 Canadian national parks.
Badlands National Parks was one of the last parks we checked off our list, mainly because of its name. It just didn't sound like a desirable place to visit...a foolish assumption.
Since that first visit twelve years ago, I've lost track of how many times we've been back. At least a dozen. Lately, we've been going a couple of times a year to enjoy the spectacular scenery and great wildlife.
I went on a garden visit with a local club back in July. It was a garden I had heard of but was not open to the public as it was a therapy garden. I enjoyed the visit it was just a shame the weather wasn't better.
This shot is from one of the first times we ventured out for an overnight trip in the earlier days of the pandemic.
Heute gehts wieder zurück nach Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Das Spitaltor stadteinwärts. Ich wenn man bei Langzeitbelichtungen die Blende recht klein wählt und etwas Bearbeitung ins Bild steckt, macht es den Eindruck, es wäre einer 3D-Software entsprungen. Mag nicht jedermanns Geschmack treffen, ich finde es aber recht spannend.

Despite of some Orca sightings in Vancouver harbor this year I unfortunately did not have this luck on my birthday's whale watching tour. So I had to put 2 photos from this day together to make my wish come true. Not with help of AI, good old manual editing work. I thought for a long time whether I should even post it...now you know my decision
Regierungsviertel
Als Berliner Regierungsviertel bezeichnet man das Gebiet, in dem die wichtigsten Institutionen der Exekutive (Bundesregierung) sowie der Legislative (Deutscher Bundestag) ihren Hauptsitz haben. Im Kern des "politischen Zentrums" der Hauptstadt liegen das Reichstagsgebäude, in dem der Deutsche Bundestag seinen Sitz hat, und das Band des Bundes im Spreebogen mit Bundeskanzleramt sowie den Abgeordnetenbüros und Sitzungssälen des Bundestages im Paul-Löbe-Haus und im Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus.
Visited Masonic Lodge (Freemasons) at their Open house day. Two members asked if they could take a portrait of me at the stairs. Once that was done they suggested to take one for me too, so I let him use my camera.
Trondheim, Norway.
Ein überraschender Besuch (Katze von einem Nachbarn) vor dem Küchenfenster, leider, jetzt weiß ich warum das Vogelhaus so schlecht besucht ist und die Eichkätzchen schon lange nicht da waren !!

A surprise visit (a neighbor's cat) in front of the kitchen window, unfortunately, now I know why the bird house is so poorly attended and the squirrels haven't been there for a long time!!
Our last day in Hawaii, we drove around and found ourselves near Sea Life Park and Makapu'u Point. Not one to waste an opportunity, I grabbed my camera to capture a quick image of the light house over the cliffs. What I got was a gentleman paragliding. I noticed him off to the side, but it never occurred to me that he was getting ready to launch himself into my photo. I'm so glad he did. Now that there is a paraglider in the photo it just feels like a magazine cover for a travel magazine that is beckoning you to visit the island of Oahu.

Visit to Hollow Mills at Canonbie on Wednesday morning. Daffodils under the signpost and blackthorn to the side
Each time I take our 5 pound Yorkie out, he goes to the storm drain at the end of our street. This is what I think he is smelling. Around two o-clock this fox walked down our street and laid down in front of the storm drain and yawned. The sun was warm and he looked tired. When I came out with the 200-400mm lens he got up and wondered if I was going to come after him. No need he was only 150 feet away.
My local wetland is often visited by Pelicans at this time of year. The water levels however, are rather low so this one seemed to find wading necessary rather than floating on the water. Happy Wing Wednesday
I visited South Lakes wild animal park yesterday with my fiancee. I dopped her off at 7:45am because I had bought her a present of zoo keeper for the day which she thoroughly enjoyed although she has found muscles that she did not know existed today...lol!! I went off to Coniston water (more of which later) and returned to the park at 10am. This male and female Sumatran tigers had just finished "holding hands" when the female underneath decided enough hand holding was enough!!

Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens
A historic garden under restoration, situated between Menai Bridge and Beaumaris on the Isle of Anglesey.
In 1996, the present owner bought the 200 acre Plas Cadnant Estate and work began on the restoration of the historic garden and grounds. Since then large parts of the gardens have undergone a spectacular transformation and have been restored to their former glory.
Described as one of North Wales best kept secrets is the hidden world of Plas Cadnant Gardens, situated at the side of the Menai Strait, hidden from view near to Menai Bridge on the Isle of Anglesey.
Former owners of Plas Cadnant were related to the Tremayne family of Heligan House, now famous for its Lost Gardens.
A new garden is being created on an historic site, becoming a plantsman's paradise. Now considered amongst the liveliest twenty gardens of Wales, and featured in a new book 'The Finest Gardens of Wales' by Tony Russell'. Also featured in 'Discovering Welsh Gardens' written by Stephen Anderton and photographed by Charles Hawes.
There is still much work to be done and we hope you will visit us in person or use the website to keep informed of our ongoing progress.
Three gardens in one
Three different gardens have been discovered, including an unusual walled garden with curving walls and pool, a secret valley garden with three waterfalls and river, and an upper woodland garden with stone outcrops and the remains of a 19c. folly.
