Food and Shelter little bird and his friend camped out by the bird seed for a long time, about 8 inches over night as you can tell and still snowing, shot in North Carolina.
I took this on a rainy day across the street in front of the neighbour's house. They always have lavender growing there, but it hasn't been kept up, so the weeds and grasses grow wild. I loved the way the raindrops clung to the seeded grass with the lavender mixing in.
The Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow was built as a gratitude to God for help and intercession in the difficult period of the history of Russia - during the Patriotic War of 1812. This is a monument to the Russian people for their courage and heroism..The Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow is the largest cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church, containing up to 10,000 people. In terms of the cathedral was an equal-end cross over 85 meters wide. The height of the lower block is about 37 meters, the height of the drum is 28 meters, the height of the dome with a cross is 35 meters. The total height of the structure is 103 meters, the internal space is 79 meters. Wall thickness - up to 3.2 meters. The outer part was framed by a double row of marble high reliefs made by sculptors Klodt, Loginovsky and Ramazanov. All the entrance doors - only twelve - were made of bronze, and the images of the saints decorating them were cast according to sketches by the famous sculptor Count F. P. Tolstoy. The building was restored as close as possible to the original. In the construction used sketches and drawings of the last century. However, there are differences. A stylobate part with a height of 17 meters was built on the place of the base-hill, where the Church of the Transfiguration, refectory chambers and auxiliary services are located. Here are also the Halls of Church Councils and meetings of the Holy Synod. A ramp is built for entry. Elevators are installed in the columns and in the stylobate part. Marble from the Chelyabinsk region and red granite brought from Finland were used for decoration.

This is in a neighbour's garden, every time she found a lost flipflop, or thong as we call them in Australia, she would bring it home and nail it on the dead branch of her tree. She no longer lives there but the tree and the flipflops remain.
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.
Romeo and Hazel have fun on a Sunday afternoon.

You have to hold tight Rome and don't move too much

I really liked the colour combo of these lilies which I spotted in someone's rock garden.

De Ribes Sanguineum wordt meestal niet voor de bessen aangeplant, maar voor de bloemenpracht in het voorjaar. De bloemen, maar ook de pikzwarte bessen die in het najaar aan de struik verschijnen, zijn niet eetbaar, ze zijn zelfs giftig.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ribes Sanguineum is usually not planted for the berries, but for the flowers in the spring. The flowers, but also the pitch-black berries that appear on the shrub in autumn, are not edible, they are even poisonous.
Vibrant colours and lively metalwork at the historic old Smithfield Market in London--this was an unexpected find on a Sunday stroll. The market is closed on the weekends but opens for business during the week at--wait for it!--2:00 a.m. This means the workers hit the pub for lunch and a pint around 7:00 a.m. Apparently, the pubs in the area have a special license to sell alcohol that early because of the hours the market workers keep. What a scene it must be some mornings! For more on the history of the market: www.smithfieldmarket.com/

The Macro Mondays theme for 2/27 is textures and there is an album of ones I gathered together and photographed!! 16 of them!! Was going to dither but my DD took him down from the shelf and gather him a bath and he’s just SO cute and cheery!!
…….I’ll put up the size verification in a bit. This part of him is 2” from side to side
As a side note: I am in the 26th month of a 6 month experiment, taking pictures with my iPhone, and *this* week I learned about using the AE/AF lock to create bokeh!! That’s made me inordinately happy!! There is a blue bokeh picture in the album- or a few pics down from this happy apple guy.

HFF folks ... right after I took this shot, someone looked out of the window to the left, and demanded to know why I was taking photos of their house, I mumbled something about 'nice shadows'.. the perils of shooting a fence shadow!
press L to see on black (definitely better)

Wit is de kleur van de Maan, goddelijkheid, onbeperkte levenskracht en mogelijkheden. Wit neemt geen warmte op en straalt geen warmte uit. Wit wordt in verband gelegd met de zon. ... In de magie staat wit voor, pure zuiverheid, licht, vitaliteit, waarheid, levenskracht, en energie.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
White is the color of the Moon, divinity, unlimited life force and possibilities. White does not absorb heat and does not radiate heat. White is associated with the sun. ... In magic, white stands for pure purity, light, vitality, truth, life force, and energy.
A different year and a different shoreline. The change in the lake level brings a whole new perspective to the area. A photo at this spot last year did not have any of the rocks except for the big one. Port Elgin, Ontario, Canada.
And the snow has arrived here ....
Although back from two days of fever, I could not resist (not tell anyone) lol
It snowed for two hours, the time to go out and come back and the snow was gone ; ( At each step I took forward, puffy white trees, let slip a shower of snow / water. I also had to bring your umbrella. And by the umbrella, gloves, hat and layered clothing as a cake, it was not easy to maneuver the camera. But fun : ))
Tomorrow looks like it will snow again, thinks the winter to stop us, and I must say that sometimes I'm not sorry.....

The Forest Tower in Zealand, Denmark. The tower is 45 metres tall, and the platform at the top is situated 135 metres above sea level. This makes it the highest accessible point in all of Zealand.
Middle Fork Snoqualmie River, Washington
The loop I hiked on Sunday has a spur trail with access to the Middle Fork section of the Snoqualmie River, one of six rivers in Washington that has a federal “Wild and Scenic” designation. (Another of the six is the nearby Pratt River, which flows into the Snoqualmie a few miles upstream.)
This is a beautiful section of river that winds its way through the Snoqualmie National Forest and the Alpine Lakes Wilderness areas. This time of year the flow is low and mellow - in the Spring when snowmelt runoff is at its peak, the water levels can run fast and high and cover most of the rocks that are visible currently. But at the end of summer it was a lovely spot to sit and listen to the sound of the flowing water, bask in the sunshine, and wade in the shallows.
The other “wild” part about this area is the crazy directions and angles at which the trees on the opposite river bank are leaning! The North Bend area is notoriously windy in the fall and winter, so my guess is that this is probably due to the winds that roar through here.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a blue day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Looking close on Friday is blue and green. Isn’t that awesome ? For once all my daily challenges are working together !!
At first, I had a very different picture in mind but then I found this green pushpin in my props suitcase (it is more like a tool box than a stylish suitcase)… So why not ? This pushpin is green and I have some cool blue felt for a background and voilà :-) ! I hope you will like it my friends !!
Have a beautiful day !! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
FYI: because of my renovation project I have to, constantly, move our stuff from one room to another on a very short notice !! So once again, I have to apologize for not answering your comments… I will try to catch up very shortly but for the next few days I’m afraid I will be M.I.A. (missing in action) !!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
