On our back yard fence, this leaf, and the vine it's attached to, have survived the elements, including sun, heavy rain and winds, for months. Even in a very stiff wind, when other dried leaves on the fence are fluttering, it does not move.
Friends, I expected to 'graduate' from Planet Earth this month. But, due to a very surprising development, that has changed. I now have at least a few more weeks, possibly more, here in this body. Quite a roller coaster ride. I will continue to post photos on Flickr and on Facebook as long as I am able to.
Thank you very much for your kind interest in and support of my photography, and well-being. I am grateful. ♥

A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years. They are incredibly diverse and complex, home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal species—even though they cover just 6% of Earth’s surface. This makes rainforests astoundingly dense with flora and fauna. Rainforests’ rich biodiversity is incredibly important to our well-being and the well-being of our planet.

I really wanted to extend a special thank you and I love you to all my new and old Flickr friends. This year has been tough for most, if not all of us. This circle of friends we have created here, to lean on and gain positivity has really filled me with hope. It has aided me all through the hard times and is a sail for me to bring me straight into the new year. It is these little things we do for each other on here that can help make a difference in our mental well being. So again, thank you all for your friendship. Peace and God bless!
A beautiful Lioness we spotted while on a 2023 photo safari in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. She stopped her search for prey just long enough to show me those eyes.
In the savannas of Africa, female lions play a crucial and dynamic role in their familial groups, shaping the social structure and bearing the responsibility for the pride’s survival. Contrary to some common misconceptions, lion prides operate within a matriarchal social structure, where females hold the key roles in decision-making and coordination.
Lionesses are the primary hunters within the pride. Their exceptional teamwork and strategic approach to hunting are essential for the pride’s survival and well-being. Together, they deploy strategic hunting techniques, such as coordinated flanking and ambushing, to outwit their prey. Their synchronized efforts increase the likelihood of a successful hunt to secure food for the entire pride.
Male lions are typically responsible for protecting their pride from other males. However, the females play a vital role in defending the pride’s territory against threats such as leopards, hyenas, neighboring prides, and occasionally other males. The survival of a pride often hinges on the lionesses’ ability to protect their territory.
The lionesses’ strong maternal instincts are at the foundation of the pride’s social bonds. As a group, they are responsible for raising and nurturing the cubs. They teach essential survival skills, including hunting techniques and social behaviors, which ensure the continuity of the pride’s legacy. The pride communicates through vocalizations and body language, fostering a strong sense of community. The bonds formed among females contribute to the overall success and stability of the group.
In the lion pride, females emerge as the unsung heroes, weaving together the threads of survival, protection, and legacy. Their role as huntresses, defenders, nurturers, and leaders is integral to the pride’s success.

... Our individual well-being is intimately connected both with that of all others and with the environment within which we live....

Well, being alone is not always a bad thing. I hope that everyone enjoys the weekend whether you are alone or with those that you love! :)

.....are those that believe peace is an essential requirement for mankind's well being. Unfortunately, as usual, they are not the one's in charge. It boggles my mind to think that there are those who think the only way to peace is by waging war--why not just sit on the shore and contemplate the horizon. All the answers are surely there--if you look.

A regatta is a term commonly used in the world of sailing to refer to a competitive event where boats, typically sailboats, race against each other. Regattas can vary widely in scale and format, from small local races to large international competitions. Here are some key points to note about regattas:
Racing Format: Regattas feature organized racing events with specific rules and courses. The format can include different types of races, such as fleet races (where multiple boats race against each other), match races (one-on-one competition), or distance races (longer courses that test endurance).
Classes and Categories: Boats participating in a regatta are often grouped into classes or categories based on factors like size, design, and performance. This ensures fair competition and allows sailors with similar boats to compete against each other.
Competitors: Regattas attract a diverse range of participants, from amateur sailors and local yacht club members to professional racers and international teams. The level of competition can vary, with some regattas focused on fostering community participation, while others are highly competitive.
Events and Festivities: Regattas often extend beyond the races themselves. Many regattas incorporate social events, parties, and gatherings, fostering a sense of camaraderie among sailors and providing opportunities for networking and socializing.
Local and International: Regattas can be local, regional, or international in scope. Some famous international regattas, like the America's Cup or the Volvo Ocean Race, draw global attention and feature top-level professional sailors and cutting-edge technology.
Traditions: Regattas often have their own unique traditions and rituals, which can vary by location and the history of the event. These traditions can include ceremonial flag-raising, prize-giving ceremonies, and more.
Spectator Sport: Many regattas are open to spectators, allowing them to watch the races from the shore or designated viewing areas. Some regattas, like Cowes Week, are famous for their onshore festivities, making them attractive not only to sailors but also to spectators.
Safety and Rules: Regattas prioritize safety, with strict rules and regulations in place to ensure the well-being of participants. Organizers also monitor weather conditions closely to determine whether races should proceed.
Diverse Types: Regattas can focus on various types of sailboats, including dinghies, keelboats, multihulls, and more. They can also be specific to certain age groups or skill levels, making the sport accessible to a wide range of participants.
A regatta is a thrilling and organized sailing competition that brings together sailors of all levels and backgrounds to race their boats while fostering a sense of community and celebrating the sport of sailing. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a spectator, regattas offer an exciting and enjoyable experience on the water.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️
Good Saturday morning everyone, and hoping everyone stay safe and well and has a fabulous weekend.
Here is one from yesterday and a very exciting series for me as well, being able to spend some time with this magnificent bird of prey, who we very rarely see, thanks to my friend and shooting partner ............. again.
Thanks for visiting everyone, very much appreciated indeed.
The pearl of the Kyiv open-air museum: the Paraskeva Pyatnytsia church in Pyrohiv. The unique wooden sacred monument comes from the village of Zarubyntsi in the Cherkasy region and is considered the last "oak giant" of the Dnipro region.
Saint Paraskeva of Iconium had special love and respect among Orthodox believers. Temples in her honor in ancient times were called Pyatnitsky. On the icons, the martyr was usually depicted as a strict ascetic, tall, with a shining crown on her head.
According to church beliefs, Saint Paraskeva is the patroness of fields and livestock, icons of the holy martyr protect family well-being and happiness. In addition, the Holy Martyr is considered a healer of the most serious diseases.
Ursula Franziska Radzivil (1705–1753), the wife of Mykhailo Kazimir Radzivil (1702–1762), the Great Hetman of Lithuania, is considered the founder of the church. It is believed that she was the last representative of the famous Vishnevetsky noble family.
According to archival sources, already after Ursula's death in 1757, the church began to lean dangerously due to poor construction. So it was soon dismantled and renewed.
Перлина київського скансену: церква Параскеви П’ятниці у Пирогові. Унікальна дерев’яна сакральна пам’ятка походить з села Зарубинці на Черкащині та вважається останнім «дубовим гігантом» Наддніпрянщини.
Свята Параскева Іконійська мала у православних вірян особливу любов і шанування. Храми на її честь в давнину називалися П’ятницькими. На іконах зазвичай зображали мученицю суворою подвижницею, високого росту, з сяйнистим вінком на голові.
За церковними віруваннями, свята Параскева — покровителька полів і худоби, ікони святої мучениці охороняють сімейний добробут і щастя. Крім того, Свята мучениця вважається цілителькою від найважчих хвороб.
Фундаторкою церкви вважається Урсула Францішка Радзивіл (1705–1753), дружина Михайла Казимира Радзивіла (1702–1762), Великого Гетьмана Литовського. Вважається, що вона була останньою представницею відомого шляхетського роду Вишневецьких.
За архівними джерелами, вже після смерті Урсули у 1757 році церква небезпечно похилилася через неякісне будівництво. Тож її невдовзі розібрали та поновили.
Düsseldorf,
In der weihnachtlich beleuchteten Stadt rund um den Corneliusplatz gibt es gleich mehrere interesssante Motive: Eislaufbahn, Kö-Bogen, Königsallee und nicht zuletzt den Lichtbogen über dem Kö-Graben. Auch für das leibliche Wohl ist rund um die Eisbahn reichlich gesorgt.

In the Christmas illuminated city around Corneliusplatz there are several interesting motifs: ice rink, Kö-Bogen, Königsallee and, last but not least, the arc over the Kö-Graben. Plenty of physical well-being is also provided around the ice rink.
An attempt to embed Puccini's Tosca in my self-written poem. The content of the work doesn’t represent my well-being ... I am drinking a gin tonic and "flirting only slightly with death" - smoking :) ...

E Lucevan El Stelle (Tosca) - embedded in my self written poem:
True love requires the great art of daring to dream awake with open eyes, to use the gentle wings of the imagination as a brush and the grey and desolate façades and streets as a canvas to clothe them anew with bright colours, to give them beautiful, gentle forms - to float with their lightness, to float a dark night on silver shining clouds under the bluish shimmering warm moonlight. To reach places and labyrinths where space and time dissolve.
However, true love is not readily accessible. She is the little sister of the soulless fear-demon, who stands protectively in front of her when an eager soul comes too close to her little sister.
"As proof of your true desire, I demand of you the courage - you must summon to prove your worthiness" she thunders menacingly. As proof she demands fearless, unconditional and selfless willingness to run with passion into her open knives. She invites you to an unequal duel on a cold and dark stage of a brutal dramaturgy where you meet your merciless antagonist who will not forgive any mistake or naivety. She is powerful, prosecutor and judge at the same time.
And if you lose the bitter fight, she will ask you as punishment in a mild but authoritative voice to turn your back on her and close your eyes. Then she will whisper lovingly and reassuringly "I won't kill you right away, I'll let your life escape slowly" and in the same breath ram a knife into your back, piercing your heart.
The deep pain pierces the whole soul
The limbs slacken, the body is one with the earth
The fear-demon applauds... and shouts in a rush of joy “Coda!!!!” (Final act in opera)
The pupils close with dignity like a heavy dark blood-red curtain after a stage performance
The song, conducted by memory, sung by the pain of lost love resounds deeply melancholy to pay its last respects.
Now you are a passive spectator of your own tragedy, listening to a music that was staged just for you:
Bes
"And the stars were shining
And the earth was smelling
The orchard gate creaked
And a footstep grazed the sand
She entered, fragrant
She fell into my arms
Oh, sweet kisses, oh, languid caresses
While trembling, I stripped the beautiful form of its veils!
My dream of love has vanished forever
The hour has passed and I die in despair!
And I have never loved life so much before!"
E Lucevan Le Stelle - Tosca (Giacomo Puccini)
In this family Fynn is responsible for the well-being of the tomatoes which means that he spends a lot of time with them, watches over them and I suppose he talks to them too. He does that every year and is quite successful. Last year we had a fantastic tomato harvest.
I add another capture in the comments.
A wetland is land where water is above, at or near the surface near most years. These are transitional areas between terrestrial and aquatic swamps, sloughs and ponds, unvegetated flats and bogs. All these types of wetlands, with the exception of bogs, are found in the Everglades.
Wetlands are essential to human well-being as they allow water to seep into underground aquifiers which provide the fresh drinking water we need. Wetlands help prevent flooding and erosion by slowing surface run-off while acting as a natural treatment plant to filter pollutants in the water supply. They also provide shelter and food for many insects, birds, fish and other animals. Two-thirds of all threatened and endangered wildlife species in the United States live in a wetland eco-system. Wetlands are crucial for migratory birds too.
White elephants are considered sacred in Buddhist countries and promise happiness and well-being. But the way in which they are kept couldn't be more contradictory, and it suggests that this is why the animals are particularly spoiled. But a visit to Burma's white elephants reveals the opposite.
Six of the nine white elephants that are in captivity in Burma are vegetating here in the elephant house in the capital Nay Pyi Taw. They eke out their lives on a few square meters.
A taxi driver explains that the tied animals are a symbol of the power of the military. So everything is under control.
In fact, a prominent Burmese elephant expert, who is afraid of being named, confirms that the highest army generals and their entourage visited the white elephants in the capital Nay Pyi Taw regularly.
One of the country's two vice presidents is also one of the weekly visitors. They all believed the animals would bring good luck and maintain power.
Weisse Elefanten gelten in buddhistischen Ländern als heilig, versprechen Glück und Wohlergehen. Doch die Art und Weise, wie sie gehalten werden, könnte widersprüchlicher nicht sein.Es läge nahe, dass die Tiere deshalb besonders verwöhnt werden. Doch ein Besuch bei Burmas weissen Elefanten entlarvt das Gegenteil.
Sechs der insgesamt neun weissen Elefanten, die in Burma in Gefangenschaft sind, vegetieren hier im Elefantenhaus in der Hauptstadt Nay Pyi Taw vor sich hin. Sie fristen ihr Leben auf ein paar Quadratmetern.
Ein Taxifahrer erklärt, die gefesselten Tiere seien ein Symbol für die Macht der Militärs. Es sei also alles unter Kontrolle.
Tatsächlich bestätigt ein prominenter burmesischer Elefantenexperte, der Angst hat, namentlich genannt zu werden: Höchste Armeegeneräle und ihre Entourage besuchten die weissen Elefanten in der Hauptstadt Nay Pyi Taw regelmässig.
Auch einer der beiden Vizepräsidenten des Landes gehöre zu den wöchentlichen Besuchern. Sie alle glaubten, die Tiere würden Glück bringen und die Macht erhalten
Prayers for the well-being and safety of all the wonderful people of Hawaii as Hurricane Lane passes.
Japanese people enjoy picnicing under the Sakura, or Cherry Blossom trees, and being sprinkled with the falling petals from the trees. Apparently it's a sign of good luck, and I can attest to enjoying an ice cream under a grove of Sakura trees and enjoying a sense of well being as the pretty petals rained down on me.

19c and very humid 80% here in Chelters...
Chickadees weigh less than 1/2 of an ounce (<14g) and harsh winters can be life threatening to these tiny songbirds. They would need our help during cold winter days. Research has shown that when the temperature falls below 10 degrees Fahrenheit (-12 C), the survival rate of chickadees almost doubled when they had access to feeders! Feeding these songbirds during the coldest months increased their overall winter survival rate to 69% versus a 37% survival rate of those not having access to feeders.
Also, an experimental study from 2024 found that watching birds improves well-being and reduces stress. It also connects us to nature and promotes much needed conservation :)
Taikodani Inari Shrine is the demon gate of Sanbonmatsu Castle (Tsuwano Castle) in 1773, when the 7th lord of the Tsuwano Domain, Norisada Kamei, prays for the peaceful protection of the Tsuwano Domain and the well-being of the people. It was the first time that the Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto worshiped at the peak of Taikodani at the northeastern end.

Why is love so old
I made a promise, but it's weird
I had a question
I wonder if all dolls accept this kind of well-being
The cloth heart won't get old
Sitting on a very high top of the cabinet
But you know, I'm not here to see the stars
My effort to meet you
Please take good care of me, my love, my eternity
It's a beautiful night, even if I don't want to
Sit on the right side to say goodbye
Look at these stars
My heart shines when I think about it like that
I think every doll accepts this kind of well-being
Please take good care of your love forever
I'm going to meet you
Everything that I won't meet you

Little kittens are like our own little babies; they need to be touched and know that they are loved and are an important member of the family. Touch is a fundamental human and animal need giving profound impacts on both physical and mental well-being. A warm touch can reduce stress, create a feeling of security, alleviate pain, amd help build strong and lasting relationships.
With heartfelt thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful day, stay healthy, stay alert, appreciate the beauty around you, enjoy your creativity, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
The ice saints and Sophie gave us low temperature, some clouds and windy, rough conditions.
