Hello All!
A peony was falling apart, but yet, I thought it's form was quite beautiful. Should we all age so gracefully!!! Edited and effects in Topaz Studio for Sliders Sunday! HSS!
Thanks a million for stopping by and for your views. I do love hearing from you!

This is a detail from the Monument to the Discoveries which is a memorial statue dedicated to Henry the Navigator. It stands in the harbor of Lisbon, Portugal near the mouth of the Tagus River. It was permanently erected in 1960 to honor Prince Henry who led the voyages of discovery into the New World in the 15th Century. The Portuguese were legendary mariners & explorers. One can barely imagine risking the treacherous waters of the Atlantic Ocean in wooden boats powered only by sails.
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go."
~ Albert Einstein
A beaut of a butte, east of Lake Powell, on the far side of Antelope Island, which lies low in the foreground, shadowed just before sunset. Note the layering on the butte and the cliffs behind, indicating sandstones and shales laid down by sedimentary processes—completely different from the massive intrusive granite blocks in Monument Valley, which are remnants of volcanic activity.

will be away for a bit.... don't know if there is internet access... oh well.... sometimes life takes a different turn than planned....
The peony might have been losing its petals, but that doesn't mean that it's not beautiful. Happy Monday!
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're all greatly appreciated. Have a great day and new week!
The origin of these "pearls of nature" is a miracle. As I looked more closely at the ground, I saw a small blade of grass that was slightly higher than the others. For this reason, I was able to take my camera closer to the object and take this detail bigger. I was fascinated when I could look at this little wonder of nature at home.
While I was photographed, the sunrays warmed the ice crystals on the grasshammer so that they just slid down the stalk, when I finished with photography. What a wonderful experience that fascinated me once again and I could learn from nature.
This picture shows me both sides of the winter. The first is cold and somehow fancinating, the second shows me that the cold of the wafting sun has to give way. At least in the spring, when the life awakens again.
I am happy to share this here with you.
Enjoy everybody and a wonderful weekend to all of you.
Thank you for all your sympathy for my pictures here and the dear comments, which always give me great pleasure.
Have a wonderful time in the nature.
