Glen Eyrie Castle is a 67-room English Tudor-style mansion built in 1871 by General William Jackson Palmer, the founder of Colorado Springs. It was his wife’s dream home and is located on a beautiful 800 acre estate in the western foothills. The original structure was remodeled in 1881 to include a tower, 24 fireplaces and additional rooms. It was made to resemble a stone castle, reminiscent of those native to England.
The Palmer family sold the estate in 1953. It is now used as conference center with 7 meeting rooms, 2 dining rooms and 17 guest rooms. In 1975 Glen Eyrie was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

C&BL #104 crosses the Conemaugh River over the Ten Acre Bridge, built in 1901, after delivering gondolas to the wire mill. During the days of Bethlehem Steel, the C&BL ran around the clock with at least a dozen active switchers. On this day, not even two hours had passed, and their day had already come to an end.

Castle Acre takes its name from the walled castle built in the 12th-century by the Normans.
A rural village in north west Norfolk, it lies four miles north of Swaffham and to the west of the A1065 at the point where the river Nar is crossed by an ancient route known as the Peddars Way.
There is much to see in Castle Acre including the castle ruins and the Cluniac Priory.
The West front of Castle Acre Priory in Norfolk.
The main priory building dates from 1090 onwards and is a fine example of Early English/Norman architecture. Its well preserved west front is pure 1100s with the exception of the central window modified in the 1400s.
Compare with the model in the previous image.

"Anna’s Hummingbirds are among the most common hummingbirds along the Pacific Coast, yet they're anything but common in appearance. With their iridescent emerald feathers and sparkling rose-pink throats, they are more like flying jewelry than birds. Though no larger than a ping-pong ball and no heavier than a nickel, Anna’s Hummingbirds make a strong impression. In their thrilling courtship displays, males climb up to 130 feet into the air and then swoop to the ground with a curious burst of noise that they produce through their tail feathers... Anna's Hummingbirds normally have a body temperature of around 107 degrees Fahrenheit—that's a scorching temperature for a human. When outside temperatures fall, Anna's and many other species of hummingbirds enter torpor. Their breathing and heart rate slow, and their body temperature can fall as low as 48 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature warms, the hummingbirds can become active again in a few minutes."

1066 - Normans invaded England taking battle at Hastings. William de Warenne fought in the battle and was rewarded by an estate at Acre in Norfolk among other riches.
The locals of Acre soon saw the impact of their new overlord – a castle and a Cluniac priory. The present building was started at around 1090 with the church given priority.
Here we are in the nave looking from the chancel towards the west front. The west front is the best preserved part and is considered one of England's finest.
Sadly the interior suffered badly after the 1530s dissolution of the monasteries. The finely dressed facing stones were removed over the centuries for building material. What now remain are chalk, flint and rubble cores.

The scarlet macaw (Ara macao) is a large red, yellow, and blue Central and South American parrot, a member of a large group of Neotropical parrots called macaws. It is native to humid evergreen forests of tropical Central and South America. In some areas, it has suffered local extinction because of habitat destruction, or capture for the parrot trade, but in other areas, it remains fairly common. It is the national bird of Honduras.
A typical sighting is of a single bird or a pair flying above the forest canopy, though in some areas flocks can be seen. They may gather at clay licks. Scarlet macaws communicate primarily through raucous honks; however, vocal communication is highly variable, and captive macaws are known to be adept mimics of human speech.
They also love to eat insects and larvae.They are seen feeding heavily on bugs, snails and foliage. Snails and bugs are great source of protein, as they need additional protein during breeding seasons. They also add flowers and nectar to their diet as a supplement.
While comparatively docile at most times of the year, scarlet macaws may be formidably aggressive during periods of breeding. Scarlet macaws are monogamous birds, with individuals remaining with one partner throughout their lives. - Wikipedia

The glorious season is now.
Trees are an important part of the terrestrial ecosystem, providing essential habitats including many kinds of forest for communities of organisms.
Epiphytic plants such as ferns, some mosses, liverworts, orchids and some species of parasitic plants (e.g., mistletoe) hang from branches; these along with arboreal lichens, algae, and fungi provide micro-habitats for themselves and for other organisms, including animals.
Leaves, flowers and fruits are seasonally available.
On the ground underneath trees there is shade, and often there is undergrowth, leaf litter, and decaying wood that provide other habitat.
Trees stabilise the soil, prevent rapid run-off of rain water, help prevent desertification, have a role in climate control and help in the maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystem balance.
Trees tend to be long-lived, some reaching several thousand years old.
Trees have been in existence for 370 million years.
It is estimated that there are some three trillion mature trees in the world.
Have a fun day and thank you, M, (*_*)

I woke to a beautiful winter scene this morning, my first snowfall at Long Acre Manor. I sat having a coffee and watching the Sunrise over the fresh snowfall, as the light and shadows formed over the garden and the grounds cottage I had to go and get this stunning image, Happy Wednesday Flickr Friends. Stay safe to all those with snow and thank you for visiting my photostream ~ KissThePixel2019
