Nach - L'aventure youtu.be/3CvEo2aPvHI
Si j'avais un bateau,
Je partirais loin d'ici,
Je partirais loin de là,
Je mettrais les voiles.
J'irais comme l'oiseau
Parcourir la vie,
Découvrir ma voie,
Décrocher mon étoile.
Qu'importe si je me perds
Quand le ciel s'étend en moi.
J'avance,
Bercée par l'univers
Plus rien ne me retient.
J'avance et j'oublie
Je pars,
Je pars à l'aventure...
Je laisse tout derrière moi,
Je pars
Soyez-en sûrs,
Cette fois même si
Ici tout me retient,
Même si dehors
Tout me fait peur,
Je pars
A l'aventure
Si j'en avais la force,
Je crierais haut et fort
Au sommet des montagnes
Tout ce que j'ai au fond.
Si j'en avais le cran,
J'échangerais mon sort
Contre l'air qui soigne,
Je quitterais ma maison.
Qu'importe si je me traîne,
Si le voyage est long...
J'avance.
Si le manque me peine,
Si je perds la raison,
J'avance et j'oublie
Je pars,
Je pars à l'aventure
Je laisse tout derrière moi,
Je pars
Soyez-en sûrs,
Cette fois même si
Ici tout me retient,
Même si dehors
Tout me fait peur,
Je pars
A l'aventure
Pars
Pars
Pars
Pars
Je pars, soyez-en sûrs et cette fois je pars...
Nach - L'aventure

I went to Shannon Falls the other day hoping to get some wonderful waterfall shots. Unfortunately, the sun was blazing and in most places, the water was, well, overexposed. The actual waterfall falls from a height of 335m or just over 1,000 ft. Then it continues on downward and into the roaring creek. I scrambled down the rocks to try to get a shady spot along the creek, which were very small areas, and realized I'll have to go there again on a cloudy day. This was the most I could get, and even here, you can see that there is too much direct sunlight. And I think I'll have to wear hip waders or something so I can shoot from the water, instead of off to one side.
I haven't been on Flickr for a few days, so will try to catch up with your images from today.
Happy Weekend!
“...A tarde cai e eu camboneeio um mate
junto ao braseiro do fogo de chão;
o pai-de-fogo, puro cerne de branquilho,
quiemando aos poucos na paz de um galpão...”

Il est à noter qu’encore aujourd’hui la route entre Bressanone et Chiusa suit la rive droite de la rivière, c’est-à-dire à « main gauche » du voyageur qui descend du nord vers le sud.

En la foto se ve el río Eisach y las colinas cultivadas y pobladas con bonitas casas. La foto está tomada desde el puente del centro de Chiusa que permite franquear el Eisach. Cabe notar que, aún hoy, la carretera entre Bressanone y Chiusa discurre por la margen derecha del río, es decir a mano izquierda cuando se viaja de norte a sur.

🎶 GRACE VANDERWAAL - A BETTER LIFE
Just close your eyes
And create yourself a better life
Let the wind blow through your hair
Let the music take you there
And make a better life, a better life, life
So close your eyes
And create yourself a better life
Let the wind blow through your hair
Let the music take you there
And make a better life
A better life
Maybe this time
Things will turn out right

Desde Santiago de Compostela tomamos el camino a Orense y disfrutamos de paso del paisaje gallego. Nos encontramos con este mirador de Guillade donde textualmente decía el panel informativo “Punto situado entre A Cañiza e Filgueira “. Es éste el Mirador de Guillade, paraje perteneciente al concello de Crecente parroquia de Filgueira. Desde este lugar el visitante disfrutará de una panorámica espectacular de indudable belleza que son los meandros del rio MIño, en su fluir hacia el Océano Atlántico. A la derecha la villa termal ourensana de Cortegada de Baños asomando entre la vegetación , el puente sobre el Miño, en el límite entre las provincias de Pontevedra y Ourense…el puente del ferrocarril y al fondo la via que surca la ribera del MIño.

A Whinchat fighting against the wind (female) ♡ Un Tarier des prés luttant contre le vent
◇
Cette semaine, je suis retournée au Marais Audubon pour tenter de voir le Martin pêcheur. Il ne s'est pas montré mais je suis tombée sur un couple de Tarier des prés, probablement les derniers à migrer car tous les autres sont partis dans le sud.

This week I returned to the Audubon March expecting to see the Kingfisher. He didn't show up but I saw a Whinchat couple probably the last ones to migrate because all the others left south.
The Green heron is a small solitary heron that lives along shaded riverbanks or quiet streams in areas of dense vegetation. It is often somewhat secretive but is sometimes to be seen crying "kyow" while flying up a creek. When in the open, it will often flick its short tail nervously, while raising and lowering its crest. The "green" of its back is an iridescence, and often appears as a dull blue or just dark.
Although they are quite common, Green herons are shy and so are not often observed. Their active period is during the day and they nest within their feeding areas. To catch fish they either stand in the water or perch low above the water, watching for prey, or they track it down. Occasionally they will swim after prey. They will retract their neck, holding their bill downwards aiming at a fish, take a few cautious steps and stab their prey with their bill. They feed either alone or as a pair. When threatened, alarmed or aggressive, Green herons raise their crest, hold their neck still and flutter their tail. They are territorial and do not tolerate intrusions. They attack intruders on sight, flying towards them, making a loud and guttural repetitive "annnck-annnnck". This call is also repeated as an alarm.
The Green heron uses tools, being one of the few bird species to do so. It drops objects such as bread crusts, twigs, insects, earthworms, and feathers on the water’s surface to attract small fish.
I found this one along Peavine Road in Osceola County, Florida.
Always a fabulous sight even when climbing up Cul Mor on a dank and dirty day. Every cloud and all that.

Have all a a good start into the last August days ;-)
Point Betsie Lighthouse
I have wanted a winter shoot at this lighthouse for a long time now. Finally thanks to our friends John and Carla who generously shared their up north cabin with us, I was able to get over to this site in the winter. Even the weather cooperated beyond all expectations. I will try not to exhaust my contacts with endless variations of this wonderful day...although it is tempting...:-)))
Thank you so much for your visit!

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a blue day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Looking close on Friday is: a single berry or cherry. As you can see I chose a raspberry. And since it is very difficult to photograph its own hand, I asked Mr. Severed Hand … well to give me a hand with this picture. I don’t know for you, but when I was a kid, I ate my raspberries like this. I always start to put them on my fingers and then I had raspberries fingers. Of course, my mother wasn’t a fan of this kind of manners, but I’m sure she was eating her raspberries exactly like me when she was younger. Today, my sons love to play raspberries fingers each time we have raspberries… and juste like my Mom did: I’m not approving any playing with food at my table.
Have a beautiful day !! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
A male banded demoiselle damselfly, Calopteryx splendens. Taken at the National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire, England at Watersmeet, the junction of the rivers, Trent and Thame. I think it is a young male as its wing colouration is not very bright.
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate the kind comments and faves very much.

Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful to those who take the time to comment or fave.
A rather common warbler found throughout the Himalayan Belt. We sighted them almost everyday much of the journey. I know now that these are endemic to the Himalayas.
These are small birds - maybe less than 10 cms and incredibly active in the roadside bushes, trees and clumps of vegetation. I love the color of these birds and they are quite agile. The birds feed on small seeds, tree insects like Spiders, caterpillars and berries maybe. We never saw them on the ground anytime and most of the time were shooting almost 70-80 deg upwards. Except onetime when we were overlooking a valley and got this shot!
Thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback if any.
The river Alblas is a small river in the Dutch province Zuid-Holland.
Bleskensgraaf is really called Bleskensgraaf and Hofwegen. They were combined in 1855. The village forms part of the municipality of Molenwaard. Apart from a number of old farms and a flourmill, Bleskensgraaf does not have many monuments.
The village lies in the middle of the polder landscape of the Alblasserwaard, on the small bog river Alblas. There is the Natuurpad [Nature trail] Bleskensgraaf, which also passes along the hamlet of De Donk, which lies on a seven-metre high hill. A ‘donk’ is a type of sand dune which originated in the ice age. Some protrude above the peat and clay ground.
Taken on a shop window in my local town which is always worth a look at the display for the wonderful photos, collages, posters and odd items for sale.
The story about how the expose yourself to art poster came about is in the link below .
sunrise in Monument Valley with the East Mitten, West Mitten and Merrimack Butte. Always a magical place to enjoy the quiet.
As always, thanks so much for stopping by.

A cactus (plural: cacti) is a member of the plant family Cactaceae, a family comprising about 127 genera with some 1750 known species of the order Caryophyllales. The word "cactus" derives, through Latin, from the Ancient Greek κάκτος, kaktos, Cacti occur in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Most cacti live in habitats subject to at least some drought. Many live in extremely dry environments, even being found in the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on earth. Cacti show many adaptations to conserve water. Almost all cacti are succulents, meaning they have thickened, fleshy parts adapted to store water. Cacti are native to the Americas, ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts of western Canada in the north.

CAMINO DE LA GRANJA
Zorro en busca de refugio tras haber bebido en la Fuente de la Marquesa.
Partiendo del Monasterio de La Santa Espina, aguas abajo del rio Bajoz, al pie de la carretera de San Cebrián de Mazote, discurre parte del del camino de la Granja. Camino que retorna al propio Monasterio. Su recorrido es de 8 km. y unas 2 horas de duración, de escasa dificultad, puede recorrerse durante todo el año.
La historia y tradición que impregna la edificación de la granja. Pudo ser posada para monjes enfermos, o bien residencia para el mayordomo de labranza y criados del convento), dan nombre a la ruta.
El sendero es de gran tranquilidad y Naturaleza en estado puro: En su recorrido se pueden ver corzo, ZORROS, conejos etc.. Mágicos y umbrías choperas que dejan entrever el Pueblo de la Santa Espina. Espeso monte sobrevolado por numerosas rapaces, los verdes valles del Bajoz y Sobravíos, dibujan un paisaje tapizado por sistemas de regadío de época de colonización: pozos, acequias, cigüeñales, algún estanque, fuentes naturales como la Fuente de La Marquesa.
El camino atesora vistas de gran belleza: la horizontalidad de paramo, llanura agreste contemplada desde el Chalet de Piedra (antigua casa del guarda) el Pueblo de la Santa Espina, el propio Monasterio y el monte que lo circunda, se divisan desde un recodo situado a los pies de la Cuesta de los Almendros, a modo de balcón.
