St Agnes, on Cornwall's north coast along the Atlantic Ocean, is in the Pydar hundred and rural deanery. St Agnes is situated along the St Agnes Heritage Coast. The St Agnes Heritage Coast has been a nationally designated protected area since 1986. The marine site protects 40 species of mammals and amphibians. Interesting features along the coast include Trevaunance Cove, Trevellas Porth, Crams, Chapel Porth, Hanover Cove, and Porthtowan. Some of these have beaches, and there are also two beaches at Perranporth.
The 627-hectare (1,550-acre) Godrevy Head to St Agnes site, is situated along the north Cornwall coast of the Celtic Sea in the Atlantic Ocean. It starts at Godrevy Head (with the Godrevy Towans) in the west and continues for 20 kilometres (12 mi) to the north east, through Portreath, Porthtowan and ends just past St Agnes Head, north of the village of St Agnes.
St Agnes Beacon overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and is considered "the most prominent feature" of the Heritage coastline, with coastal and inland views that may be enjoyed during hillside walks. The National Trust landmark's name comes from the Cornish name "Bryanick". "Beacon" is a word of Anglo-Saxon origin referring to the use of a hill summit for a warning signal fire. During the Napoleonic Wars a guard was stationed on the hill to look out for French ships and light a warning fire on seeing any.
St Agnes Beacon and the surrounding cliff tops are one of the last remnants of a huge tract of heathland which once spread across Cornwall. This rare and important habitat is internationally recognised for its wealth of wildlife and from late summer onwards comes alive with colour, forming a brilliant yellow and purple patchwork of gorse and heather.
The Indian eagle-owl, also called the rock eagle-owl or Bengal eagle-owl (Bubo bengalensis), is a species of large horned owl restricted to the Indian Subcontinent. They were earlier treated as a subspecies of the Eurasian eagle-owl. They are found in hilly and rocky scrub forests, and are usually seen in pairs. They have a deep resonant booming call that may be heard at dawn and dusk. They are typically large owls, and have "tufts" on their heads. They are splashed with brown and grey, and have a white throat patch with black small stripes.
This large owl with the distinctive face, large forward-facing eyes, horns and deep resonant call is associated with a number of superstitions. Like many other large owls, these are considered birds of ill omen. Their deep haunting calls if delivered from atop a house are considered to forebode the death of an occupant. A number of rituals involving the capture and killing of these birds have been recorded. Salim Ali notes a wide range of superstitions related to them but notes two as being particularly widespread. One is that if the bird is starved for a few days and beaten, it would speak like a human, predicting the future of the tormentor or bringing them wealth while the other involves the killing of the bird to find a lucky bone that moved against the current like a snake when dropped into a stream.Belief in these superstitions has led to the persecution of the species in many areas by tribal hunters. The capture of these birds is illegal under Indian law but an underground market continues to drive poaching.
When a neighbor decided to reconfigure the flowers planted in her raised flowerbed, she was going to toss the green bits away.
Fortunately I love gardening surprises...so I quickly planted them in a shady spot. This was the wonderful result of my adoption.
„Wer das Geld liebt, wird des Geldes nicht satt, und wer den Reichtum liebt, nicht des Ertrags. Auch das ist Eitelkeit.“
Prediger 5, 9.
„He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity.“
Ecclesiastes 5:10 ESV
"Dandelions are masters of survival. They can take root in places that seem little short of miraculous, and then are impossible to get rid of, as homeowners have found. But why is this plant so hard to kill? It’s because they are fast growers. The sunny yellow flowers go from bud to seed in days. Their lifespan is long, too – an individual plant can live for years, so the dandelion lurking in a corner of the playground might be older than the children running past it. The roots sink in deeper over the years, and can go down 15 feet.
Like the Hydra who sprouted two new heads for every one that was cut off, the roots clone when divided; a one-inch bit of dandelion root can grow a whole new dandelion. Dandelion leaves can shove their way though gravel and cement, and thrive in barren habitats."

Wikipedia states..."Chives, (scientific name...Schoenoprasum), is an edible species of the genus Allium. Its close relatives include the garlic, shallot, leek, scallion, and Chinese onion."
What I know about this beautiful plant is that the bees love to traverse the hills and valleys of this flower. Once the bloom has faded, you'll find tiny black seeds inside the folds of each blossom. What a great way to spread the wealth. Life is wonderful that way!
Stay close. Wait for the trickle-down effect. You know that there is a very good reason, they say, that governments should help the rich to get richer even easier and much faster. Yes, it is the trickle-down effect. One day, eventually that is, some of the new wealth will trickle down into my watering can and make me rich too. I live in hope. And I am staying ever so close to my watering can. Helios 44M-7 manual lens at F2, one LED lamp.

Happy Crazy Tuesday!
Can you believe they want to raise our taxes?
Unreal. It's total class warfare, is what it is.
This commie wealth redistribution has to stop. I mean, I may have to sell one of my airplanes.
Too outrageous to even consider.
Say, I don't believe we've been introduced.
Oh, I just saw this fancy party, and wandered in.
You weren't actually invited? How interesting.
Yes, and it will be more interesting once you give me your wallet.
My. . . what did you say?
I'm taking the wealth redistribution thing personally.
So it appears.

Wealth is power. With wealth many things are possible.
George Clason
Power is not all bad, if wielded properly, you can change the world for the better. It gets a bad name from those who abuse it.
For those who may think power is bad, remember the power of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Princess Diana, and others who sought to bring positive changes to the world.

Fountain Of Wealth
Supported by four 13.8 metres high bronze legs and spreading over an area of 1683.07 metres, the Fountain of Wealth has been accorded the status of "World's Largest Fountain" in the 1998 edition of the Guinness Book of Records. It is symbolically the ring in the palm of the hand, guaranteeing the retention of wealth. It is destined to be Singapore's most visited tourist destination.
The plaza would provide a large outdoor space for people to gather. But on its own, it would not achieve sufficient visual impact. A dramatic fountain was proposed as a visual focus. The Fountain Plaza, now the focal point of Suntec City, is also at the heart of the Marina Centre area. Not only is it the hub of circulation within the development, it also draws life from the surrounding buildings. This is why it sits off centre within Suntec City -so that it can be directly connected to its neighbours.
The flowing water from the Fountain is also a potent symbol as water is the essence of life in almost every culture. Located round this symbolic centre of life are the buildings which make up Suntec City. These buildings attract human activity - life - to the area. At ground level, vehicles flow around the fountain plaza while pedestrians flow into the buildings around it. Below ground, at the Fountain Terrace, all the buildings are interconnected by shops and restaurants. The complex is also connected to its neighbours by both underground and street-level pedestrian linkways.
Symbol of fertility an wealth.

LA ESTACIÓN DE ARANJUEZ
Aranjuez es una estación de ferrocarril. El edificio principal de la estación, que fue levantado por la compañía MZA entre 1922 y 1927 en sustitución de otro anterior, es de estilo neomudéjar y de gran riqueza ornamental. La estación actual se enmarca dentro de un complejo ferroviario explotación de la línea de ferrocarril entre Madrid y Aranjuez. Se empezaron las obras de la estación el 4 de mayo de 1846. Con un proyecto de los hermanos Green. En mi fotografia, la portada de la estación.

The Fountain of Wealth was at one point the largest fountain in the world. Looks pretty good huh! Unfortunately it was raining, so taking photos proved difficult.
Another reserve of pristine beauty literally next door. The sidewalk has ancient paving stone, and in front of the windows all the magnificence - from the car to the piano.
Богатство
Еще один заповедник нетронутых красот буквально в соседнем дворе. На тротуаре старинная брусчатка, а перед окнами все великолепие — от автомобиля до рояля.

You can't take it with you, but you can show people you had it, apparently.
Note: A comment from a learned person elsewhere — Intertwined IHS / Christogram (First three letters in the Greek spelling of Jesus) - or it could be a 'Trinity Celtic Knot' which was adopted by early Christians to symbolize the Holy Trinity—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
