This shot was captured the same day as the previous upload (the Trillium closeup). Perhaps it will help put that flower, which was among those shown in the clump to the right of the road, into context for you.
Thanks to all who visit, fave, comment, and extend invitations. Your support is much appreciated. I will be sure to visit your work, too
It was a grey and sad day, even though I decided to head to the cost to capture the waves.
I was lucky and was able to capture this scene of this boat just behind the surf zone.
It was pouring down relentless sheets of rain and a small group of band-tails landed in the buckeye. As the rain got even harder several of these native birds began to raise and open their wings fully to take in the opportunity for a complete bath....it was a truly remarkable sight to see this behavior in a complete downpour up in the trees on the greyest of winter days
many thanks for stopping by to visit and share....risa

Surrounded by nothing but turquoise lagoon which melts into sapphire blue, the Maldives island of Anantara Kihavah and its pure white sands rise up out of the ocean like a mirage.
For centuries, this was where Arab traders sailing to the Far East took shelter; a lush paradise blessed by coconut, papaya and mango trees. Navigating archipelago to archipelago by the stars, the seafarers were also drawn by the riches of the ocean surrounding the island – where a prehistoric volcano sank back into the depths, leaving blooming corals within a house reef and a wealth of lagoon fish.
Wishing to keep the pristine nature of the island intact, not one tree has been moved – as evidenced by the villas growing up around them. The design pays homage to the seafarers of old, fusing Indian Ocean, Arab and Portuguese motifs with indigenous materials.
Nyborg is a city in central Denmark, located on the island of Funen. The city was founded in the 1200s, built up around Nyborg Castle.

I think these are painted turtles; if I'm wrong, please correct me.

Yesterday was a touch of blue, today a hint of orange.
As you can see, this little poppy thought he could hide from old Magoo by blending in with the background......but it didn't work did it..........oh no, Maggoo has a keen rubbish eye :^)))

Could not resist to preserve this arrangement. It was cold outside and these chairs are metal, so no point in hanging around for anyone to sit down. One day I´ll start shooting pictures with people in them. What else is there that is interesting really?
Rila Monastery - the monastery was founded in the 14th century on the site of the hermitage Ivan Rila existing since the 10th century in the valley of Rila mountain.
Modern form of the monastery dates from the 19th century, when through the victims of Bulgarian society and with the agreement of the Turkish authorities built a huge monastery complex. The walls of a thickness of 2 m and a height of 24 m giving it the appearance of a fortified stronghold. The inner courtyard is surrounded by three-storey buildings with arches painted in black and white and wooden galleries.
The main church of the Holy Mother of God is a three-nave basilica based on a cruciform plan with a dome at the intersection of the aisles. The pride of the temple are frescoes and great iconostasis.
In 1983 the monastery was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Rylski Monastyr – monastyr został założony w XIV na miejscu pustelni Iwana z Riły istniejącej od X wieku w kotlinie górskiego masywu Riła.
Współczesna postać monastyru pochodzi z XIX w., kiedy to dzięki ofiarom społeczeństwa bułgarskiego i przy zgodzie władz tureckich wybudowano ogromny kompleks klasztorny. Mury grubości 2 m i wysokości 24 m nadają mu wygląd warownej twierdzy. Wewnętrzny dziedziniec otaczają trójkondygnacyjne budynki z łukami pomalowanymi na czarno i biało oraz drewnianymi krużgankami.
Główna cerkiew pod wezwaniem Świętej Bogurodzicy to trójnawowa bazylika oparta na planie krzyża z kopułą na skrzyżowaniu naw. Ozdobą świątyni są freski i olbrzymi ikonostas.
W 1983 monastyr został wpisany na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO.

The palace in Jankowice was built at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and its reconstruction took place in 1803 on the order of Wawrzyniec Engestrӧm (a Swedish envoy alongside King Stanisław August Poniatowski), who settled in Wielkopolska. The palace was built in the style of romanticism. It is surrounded by a park with an area of 18.6 ha. There is a pond with 4 islands and a rich tree stand with 50 species (limes, plane trees, chestnuts, oaks and others).
The palace and park complex is owned by the Tarnowo Podgórne commune, which carried out a thorough renovation and revitalization of the park in 2018.

Pałac w Jankowicach zbudowany został na przełomie XVIII i XIX wieku, a jego przebudowa nastąpiła w roku 1803 roku na polecenie Wawrzyńca Engestrӧma (posła szwedzkiego przy królu Stanisławie Auguście Poniatowskim), który osiadł w Wielkopolsce. Pałac zbudowano w stylu klasycyzmu romantycznego. Otoczony jest parkiem o powierzchni 18,6 ha. Znajduje się w nim staw z 4 wyspami, oraz bogaty drzewostan liczący 50 gatunków (lipy, platany, kasztanowce, dęby i inne).
Zespół pałacowo-parkowy jest własnością gminy Tarnowo Podgórne, która przeprowadziła gruntowny remont i rewitalizację parku w 2018 roku.
Foto wurde durch meine Frau aufgenommen, mit ihrer Ausrüstung -Canon 100-400 L IS II USM, Canon EOS80D - Im Eberswalder Zoo ist es immer eine Herausforderug gute Fotos zu machen, Viele hohe Bäume erschweren das Fotografieren, aber bei hohen Temeraturen ist es dort auszuhalten
The Capelinhos lighthouse was inaugurated in 1903 and ceased to operate in 1957, when it was partially destroyed by the eruption of the Capelinhos Volcano, that started at sea, about 1200m from the lighthouse, but later moved closer, to just about 500m.
The building was hit by rocks (some with 300kg) and submerged in ash and cinders. Early in the 21st century an underground museum was built (Centro de Interpretação do Vulcão dos Capelinhos) and some works were undertaken to improve the stability of the building, creating conditions for it to be visited. Around it everything was destroyed by the eruption and people in the surrounding villages had to be evacuated.
The area you see to the right of the image is the result of the eruption. It didn’t exist in 1957. The eruption created an islet that kept growing during the 13months of volcanic activity and that finally connected through an isthmus to the Faial island.

I was in a local garden last week, when suddenly they turned the sprinklers on everywhere. Needless to say, I did get wet :) But I took advantage of it and tried to capture the spraying water.
Zoom in and see if you can feel it :)

This photo was taken 23 minutes later at the same observation lounge of Tochou (都庁) as the previous photo.
The road marked by taller buildings toward Fujisan is National Route 20, which is also called Koushuu Kaidou (甲州街道) as the trunk road leads to Yamanashi prefecture (山梨県), and Koushuu is its old name.
Shinjuku was originally developed as a post town on Koushuu Kaidou in the Edo era. Shinjuku (新宿) means “new post town.”

We don´t see light we are light.
and we´re spreading light.
Where light shines through
it´s something thin and fragile
But only that way can the light get in...

...back to the countryside again...my heart is there, after all, and I was missing it! No matter whether it's real life, second life, and I am certain even if there was a third life, I would always feel like a fish outta water if I wasn't surrounded by trees and animals and natural beauty. Lil Chow was worn out after his city adventure, so he stayed home and snoozed while Shep and I scampered off to this dream of a sim to play! Okay, I was chilling out, he was playing!
On the way home, we picked up some fresh carrots as a surprise for bunny! I can't wait to see his cute face light up when he sees them! 💕🐇🐶
I hope everyone is having a beautiful week! ♥
