Daily Dog Challenge: Funny Face
I was sitting, quietly reading and watching the hummingbirds fight with each other in the rain when I happened to look up and here comes this turtle!! He was in between the cement of the patio and this drain pipe and he Obviously wanted to be on the other side of the pipe! So after a good look around he continued to the end of the pipe, went around it and booked it back up the hill and into the woods. What fun and the first turtle I've seen in the yard for a couple of years. This is an Eastern Box Turtle and based on eye color is probably a female. You can see an image of him going up the hill in the first comment box below. What a treat for my eyes to see! :) What hummingbirds? What book? LOL

Mkinvarstveri is the peak, which attracts attention among every kind of persons. You don’t need to be a mountaineer, or climber, to stand your foot on that majestic peak. Everyone can conquer Mkinvarstveri, if there are enough desire, effort, right time and essential equipment, and of course, experienced team.
Let’s start with the technical details: Mkinvartsveri is situated on the border of Kazbegi municipality, in Khokh Range. According to many different sources, it is 5033 meters in the sea level. Supposedly, in Winter as the snow covers the mountain, it “becomes” higher. From Mkinvartsveri descends several glaciers: Suatisi, Mna, Ortsveri, Devdaraki and others. From here outflows the river Tergi. Mkinvartsveri is the third highest glacier in Georgia, it is just 150 meters lower, than the highest point- Shkhara in the nation of Georgia.
The summit is covered with snow constantly, does not matter, if it’s Summer or Winter. Here you will come across boundless crevasses, which, unfortunately, absorbed lives of many people. You can get there at any time, but in Winter and Spring it is an extremely dangereuses zone, as there are many avalanches here. Also, in Winter the temperature is sharply low, and one needs special preparation and equipment. For those, who can’t dare to come against such complexity, should get there in the half of Summer, till the last days of September. This is the best time for Mkinvartsveri. During this period the sun shines constantly on those cold slopes of Mkinvartsveri. It is the reason, why snow melts down, so it’s easier to walk and also, it becomes less risky. In the first half of September, the snow reaches the lowest stage, and the risk of falling in crevice is minimal, as the main problem- snow covered crevices are rare at this time. Also, the rain and windstorm “visits” the bride of the ravine more seldom. So, most of the tourists prefer to get there during this period- the beginning of September.
But, reaching for the peak of Mkinvartsveri is not easy at all. You should be really very serious. It’s a sad story, but I have to remind you, that many people, inexperienced, as well as experienced ones, left their lives here, on its white slopes. The biggest enemy here is holes/crevasses, which you can’t notice while walking on the snow, and you never know, when it opens the doors of his heart and cuddle you forever. To avoid such things, hikers use special ropes, where is tied every person of the team. They are walking some distance away from each other, as if one of them falls through the hole, others will be able to rescue the unlucky one. During that dangerous journey you will meet many signs, which warns you not to walk alone, as the Mkinvartsveri “does not like” alone souls, and advise us to walk with our team, roped (!). Another very serious hazard thing is the thunder! Can you believe it? Well, here many lives have been vanished because of thunder. During bad weather, the heavenly powers send affluent energies to the Bride the range. So, if you see, that there are clouds gathering, or it’s about to start raining soon, don’t take a step forward and just go back, somewhere in a safe place. Don’t hurry up! The Bride of the ravine is not going elsewhere. So, just wait for the spectacular, perfect time, chose the best weather, the group, its members and try to avoid the bad things, which you can.
As for the equipment, to walk there, you must have: warm and waterproof jacket, trousers, gloves, special, mountain shoes, mountain-climbers girdle, crampon (climbing iron to ice), adze (walking stick with sharp steel tip for ice-picking), rope and carbine. These equipment one can hire in Kazbegi, or at Meteo Station.

A few years ago, I discovered a location called Bear Divide in the San Gabriel Mountains, known as a hotspot for bird migration. At that time, I had just purchased an 800mm lens, so I decided to explore the area and see if I would have any luck photographing the birds. Since I believed the lens was lightweight, I chose not to bring a monopod, only to quickly realize how challenging it is to walk around with an 800mm prime lens.
That day, I encountered many birds I typically don’t see in the Los Angeles area. However, I was somewhat late in arriving, and due to the harsh lighting, I struggled to capture the images I had envisioned. After some time, I decided to remain in a shaded area to see if I could attract any birds. In one spot, away from the other birders, I found a shaded area that was bustling with western bluebirds. By patiently waiting, I managed to get them to come to a small tree stump, which allowed me to take a few decent shots with my new lens.
A part of American history and local folklore meet at Singer Castle on Dark Island, located on the St. Lawrence River. Singer Castle is the only remaining/existing castle on our river to be completed, fully furnished and resided in during the heyday of the great builders and industrials in New York. Calumet and Castle Rest (Pullman) were both completed and lived in. (And both were prior to Towers.) The Castle remained in the possession of the original owners, the Bourne family, from its construction in 1905 until the mid 1960’s. Frederick Bourne was the fifth President of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, which is where the name “Singer Castle” came from. When the Bourne family summered there, it was called “The Towers” which comes from the inspiration that Ernest Flagg, the architect whom designed this structure, had after reading the book Woodstock by Sir Walter Scott.
Which is meant for finches and small birds! But who can hold thievery against anything so cute?

Edinburgh Castle is a historic castle in Edinburgh, Scotland. It stands on Castle Rock, which has been occupied by humans since at least the Iron Age, although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until 1633. From the 15th century, the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognized increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programs have been carried out over the past century and a half.
As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1,100-year history, giving it a claim to having been "the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world". Few of the present buildings pre-date the Lang Siege of the 16th century when the medieval defenses were largely destroyed by artillery bombardment. The most notable exceptions are St Margaret's Chapel from the early 12th century, which is regarded as the oldest building in Edinburgh, the Royal Palace, and the early 16th-century Great Hall, although the interiors have been much altered from the mid-Victorian period onwards. The castle also houses the Scottish regalia, known as the Honours of Scotland, and is the site of the Scottish National War Memorial and the National War Museum of Scotland. The British Army is still responsible for some parts of the castle, although its presence is now largely ceremonial and administrative. Some of the castle buildings house regimental museums which contribute to its presentation as a tourist attraction.
The castle, in the care of Historic Environment Scotland, is Scotland's most and the United Kingdom's second most-visited paid tourist attraction, with over 2.2 million visitors in 2019 and over 70 percent of leisure visitors to Edinburgh visiting the castle. As the backdrop to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo during the annual Edinburgh Festival, the castle has become a recognizable symbol of Edinburgh in particular and of Scotland as a whole.

The city of Kyiv, which in historical terms is a sacred city (it is not for nothing that when Mikhail Bulgakov mentioned Kyiv, he always wrote the word "city" with a capital letter), is not perceived as sacred in our everyday life, being simply a place of residence and work. But the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra has preserved a sacred aura for many centuries, similar to that of Jerusalem, Rome, and Mecca. And Kiev residents, if they come to the Lavra, visitors and modern tourists rush to perform an "act of worship" - take a selfie against the backdrop of churches.
Місто Київ, яке в історичному плані є сакральним Містом (не дарма, згадуючи Київ, Михайло Булгаков слово «Город» завжди писав із великої літери), у нашому повсякденному житті сакральним не сприймається, будучи просто місцем проживання, роботи. Але Києво-Печерська лавра вже багато століть зберігає священну ауру, подібну до тої яку мають Єрусалим, Рим, Мекка. І кияни, якщо приходять до Лаври, приїжджі та сучасні туристи поспішають здійснити «акт поклоніння» – зробити селфі на тлі церков.

My oldest SL friend (in years known, not age, cause that's me.... i'm old), my sister and my RL friend, this woman has always been there when I needed her, which was usually just to listen to me rant and rave. We were able to meet in RL and prove just how short she actually is :-p but she is a true friend through and through. Honest and straightforward, caring and steadfast. I love her so much and I am blessed to call her my friend in both worlds. Love you Cera!!!! <3

One of many which were "singing" in the Dr. Josip Avelini Park in Hvar :)
The Cicadoidea (cicadas) are a superfamily of insects in the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha. They have an exceptionally loud song, produced not by stridulation but by vibrating drumlike tymbals rapidly. They typically live in trees, feeding on sap, and laying their eggs in a slit in the bark. Most cicadas are cryptic, singing at night to avoid predators. They are found on all continents, except Antarctica, mostly in warmer climate. Although only males produce the cicadas' distinctive sound, both sexes have membraneous structures called tympana by which they detect sounds; the equivalent of having ears. Some cicadas produce sounds up to 120 dB which is among the loudest of all insect-produced sounds.

Jedna z wileu cykad "grających" w Parku Doktora Josipa Aveliniego w Hvarze :)
Cykadowate, piewikowate (Cicadidae) – rodzina pluskwiaków z podrzędu piewików, powszechnie nazywanych cykadami lub piewikami (zobacz: piewiki). Rozpoznawane głównie po dźwiękach, wydawanych przez samce za pomocą narządów (tymbali) u nasady odwłoka. Żyją na wszystkich kontynentach z wyjątkiem Antarktydy, głównie w cieplejszych krajach. Tymbale wydające dźwięki są częściami szkieletu zewnętrznego przekształconymi w części błoniaste pogrubione "żebra". Jest to wprawiane w drganie silnymi mięśniami, a powiększone komory pochodzące z tchawek czynią z ciała pudło rezonansowe. Niektóre cykady wydają dźwięki do 120 dB, co czyni je najgłośniejszymi wśród owadów.
Ishkani Church is situated in the picturesque Işhan village, which overlooks the stunning valley of Çoruh (Chorokhi) River. This village was once a part of the historic Tao region in the medieval Georgian Kingdom.
Ishkani Church played a significant role as an important ecclesiastical center until the Ottoman administration took over the region in the 16th-17th century. Currently, the site comprises the remains of a grand domed church and a small hall chapel, with several other churches and structures recently discovered through archaeological excavations. The entrance to the chapel bears a Georgian inscription indicating that it was dedicated to the Holy Mother of God by King Gurgen I, who passed away in 1008.
The main building of the site is a large cross-domed church that measures 36.60 meters in length, with a width of 19 meters at the crossing. Its western arm is 15 meters long and 9 meters wide, with a height of approximately 35 meters, and a dome height of 11.4 meters with a diameter of 7.86 meters. The building facade is constructed using smoothly cut stones, while the tall, cone-shaped roof is adorned with dark red and green tiles. Following its restoration, the four arms of the church were covered with stone slabs, which have also been decorated with tiles in a similar style.
The Church of Ishkani boasts an unusual plan that resulted from several reconstructions over time. Its eastern side features a raised apse, surrounded by open exedrae, which is covered in decorative elements. The vaulted apse showcases an open exedra, and a horseshoe-shaped arcade rests on eight monoliths adorned with cubic capitals. A rectangular ambulatory frames this space, while a corridor with openings on the side leads to two chambers. The adjoining rooms are taller and have double arched windows that face inward into the open center of the church.
The church was once adorned with frescoes, though they have mostly survived on the dome, while the wall frescoes have faded over time. The Chapel's dome is decorated with Lapis lazurite, depicting the Ascension of the Cross. The dome features four figures of angels floating the cross in the sky. On each side, four two-wheeled chariots are drawn by four winged horses, driven by a standing figure. Above each chariot is a Georgian inscription that talks about the colors of the horses. Most scholars believe this scene depicts the "Vision of Zachariah" from the Old Testament, where he saw four colored horses and their riders, red, black, white, and gold. Within the drum of eight windows, eight busts are set on arches, while the adjacent blind arcade alternates with these figures and the windows below.
Opposite the main church on the south side stands a chapel with plain facades, built in 1003 as per Armenian letter inscriptions. The small chapel features fresco paintings depicting a scene of communion in the apse wall and Christ Pantocrator in the conch.
As part of the rehabilitation efforts for the monastery in Ishkhani, several chapels and churches were uncovered. These included a large basilica, two hall churches, and various monastic buildings. Additionally, several burials were also discovered, mostly from the medieval period and during the Russian-Turkish war.
During the period of Turkish rule, a mosque was established in the western arm of the church. Unfortunately, the church is not accessible to visitors today.
Ishkhani is a fascinating monument of Georgian history and culture, boasting intricate decoration, intriguing architecture, and lavishly painted murals. It is a monument that truly deserves recognition as one of the world's most significant landmarks.
The Grade I Listed Pontcysyllte Aqueduct which carries the Llangollen Canal across the River Dee, in Wrexham County Borough, Wales.
The 18-arched stone and cast-iron structure is for use by narrowboats and was completed in 1805 having taken ten years to design and build. It is 12 ft wide and is the longest aqueduct in Great Britain and the highest canal aqueduct in the world. A footpath runs alongside the watercourse on one side.
The aqueduct was to have been a key part of the central section of the proposed Ellesmere Canal, an industrial waterway that would have created a commercial link between the River Severn at Shrewsbury and the Port of Liverpool on the River Mersey.
Although a less expensive construction course was surveyed further to the east, the westerly high-ground route across the Vale of Llangollen was preferred because it would have taken the canal through the mineral-rich coalfields of North East Wales.
Only parts of the canal route were completed because the expected revenues required to complete the entire project were never generated. Most major work ceased after the completion of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in 1805.

Canadian Goose.
Two sizes of Canadian Geese exist. A small 22 to 26 inch and a large 35-45 inch version. They have a brownish body with a black head, long blackneck and which cheeck patch. The smaller version has a shorter neck and lacks the cheeck patch.
They inhabit lakes, bays, rivers and marshes. They often feed in open grasslands and stubble fields.
They range from Alaska east to Canada's Baffin Island and south to California in the west and Illinois and Massachusettes in the east. In winter they range from northern Mexico and the Gulf Coast. They are widespsread as a semi-domesticated bird and can be found in city parks and on reservoirs.

During my education I went twice on a week-long study trip to Paris with the class. The first trip was in 1974.
I had my first SLR camera , an Asahi Pentax SP II which I bought second hand from my long time and hardly saved pocket money, and only one slide film roll with 36 exposures with me! My pocket money wasn't enough for more.
The film material has suffered a lot over the years, but I only have a small selection here for those friends who are interested in seeing what it was like in Paris at the time.
I took the photo with an analogue Asahi Pentax SP II (M42) camera and slide film, then scanned with a Nikon Coolscan LS 40ED film scanner

Ich war zweimal während meiner Ausbildung mit der Klasse auf eine einwöchige Studienreise in Paris.
Das erste Mal war 1974. Ich hatte meine erste Spiegelreflex Kamera , eine Asahi Pentax SP II gebraucht von meinem lang ersparten Taschengeld erworben dabei mit nur einem Dia Film mit 36 Aufnahmen! Für mehr hatte mein Taschengeld nicht gereicht
Das Filmmaterial hat in den Jahren sehr gelitten, ich habe hier nur eine kleine Auswahl für die Freunde die interessiert sind zu sehen wie es damals in Paris aussah.

View along the Transporter Bridge abutment which led to the first pier. The buildings on the left were a ticket office and waiting room later repurposed as an electricty sub station.
The Widnes–Runcorn Transporter Bridge crossed the river Mersey and Manchester Ship Canal linking the towns of Runcorn and Widnes.
Completed in 1905, it was Britain's first transporter bridge and the largest of its type ever built in the world.
It continued in use until 22 July 1961, when it was replaced by a through arch bridge, now known as the Silver Jubilee Bridge in 1961.
The transporter bridge was then demolished though traces of the bridge can still be seen on the Widnes side of the River Mersey.

SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, ALONE! ❤️
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus died that death for YOU and I. The good news is there no more punishment for sin left, we were and are all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Holy water in Mission Espada which is part of the Mission Trail National Park in San Antonio, Texas. It was relocated here in 1731 from east Texas where it was established in 1690.San Antonio Missions Trail is five missions connected by the San Antonio River. The trail is The San Antonio Missions National Historic Park. The 15 mile trail consists of bike, jogging and hiking paths with about 2 1/2 miles between each mission. Mission Concepcion is just one of the five missions. It was completed in 1731 and is a U.S. National Historic Landmark as are the other missions located on the trail. The Mission Alamo is also on this trail. The missions on this trail are a UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The five missions on the trail are Mission Concepcion, San Antonio de Valero ((Alamo), San Jose, San Francisco de la Espada, and San Juan. They were built by Spanish Colonial residents.

SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!

Morecambe, which was once one of England's most important seaside towns, only really dates from the middle of the 19th century when the railway arrived and a harbour was built. This stone jetty with its adjacent lighthouse was built in 1853 to act as a railway terminus for trains serving the ferries between Morecambe, Scotland and Ireland.
When the nearby port of Heysham was built in 1904 trade declined and Morecambe ceased to be an important port. It still developed as a popular seaside resort, especially in the 1950s. But fashions change and both the original station and the harbour have now gone, together with the town's two seaside piers. The terminus building immediately behind the old lighthouse has been converted into a cafe and tea-room. The Stone Jetty was rebuilt and extended during 1994/95 as part of the coastal defence work.

The green waves now follow the green wall.
This is the second photo from the Rolling Hills location in Moravia, Czech Republic.
At the same time, this is my absolute favorite photo from the entire tour. If I had returned home after three days with just this photo, I would have been completely satisfied (of course I'm still happy that that's not the case).
This picture shows a slightly wider view of the hills behind the line of trees. Because of this, and because of the more intense "light and shadow play", it has a completely different dynamic than the version I showed you last week.
My wish as a photographer is to create at least one photo every month, which I really like. With this photo here, I have definitely achieved this target for April.
Nach der grünen Wand folgen nun die grünen Wellen.
Dies ist das zweite Foto von der Location "Rollende Hügel" in Mähren in der Tschechischen Republik.
Gleichzeitig ist dies mein absolutes Lieblingsbild von der gesamten Tour. Währe ich nach drei Tagen nur mit diesem Foto zurück nach Hause gekommen, wäre ich voll zufrieden gewesen (ich freue mich natürlich trotzdem, dass dem nicht so ist).
Dieses Bild zeigt einen etwas weiteren Blick auf die Hügel hinter der Baumreihe. Dadurch, und wegen der intensiveren "Licht und Schatten Spiele" hat es eine völlig andere Dynamik als die Version, die ich Euch letzte Woche gezeigt habe.
Mein Wunsch als Fotograf ist es jeden Monat mindestens ein Foto hinzubekommen, was mir richtig gut gefällt. Mit dieser Aufnahme hier, habe ich dieses Soll für den April in jedem Fall geschafft.

Even though I live only 10 miles from Scotland, last weekend was the first time I'd ventured across the border since the Coronavirus restrictions were introduced in March of last year.
I managed to capture the amazing A1 Locomotive of 60163 Tornado hauling the Northern Belle railtour along the West Coast Main Line, which was an added bonus as originally this leg of the railway journey was supposed to be diesel hauled until Carlisle, then picked up by 6201 Princess Elizabeth locomotive. However, after this engine recently suffered a fault with it's boiler, Tornado has been replacing it on all excursions where possible and, since it is was nearby anyway, it was able to haul this leg of the journey from Glasgow too.
I hadn't photographed along this stretch of railway before so I wasn't sure of what the viewpoints would be like, but looking at the map I thought this section looked promising and luckily it was - providing a wonderful moody backdrop with Tewsgill Hill beyond.
