This offshoot of the Bogor Botanical Gardens was founded in 1862 to study mountain flora. The cinchona (a tropical tree belonging to the madder family) was first brought from South America in 1854 and later cultivated here. The collection now showcases 5,000 montane plants acquired from around the world. At an altitude of 1,200 meters, the serene pastures stretch more than 80 hectares and see cool temperatures averaging 18 degrees Celsius. The charming mountainside panorama adds to the tranquility. This is a gateway to the Gede-Pangrango National Park, Mount Gede and Mount Pangrango.
Location:West Peloponnese/Greece.

Warwick Bar Conservation Area covers an area of 16.2 hectares (40 acres) where the Birmingham-to-London Grand Union Canal meets the Digbeth Branch Canal.[1] It was designated such status on 25 June 1987.[2] It covers the entire length of the Digbeth Branch Canal through the Eastside area and a section of the River Rea. To the south is the Digbeth, Deritend and Bordesley High Streets Conservation Area.[1]
The conservation area includes three of the statutorily listed buildings in Birmingham, each built by the canal company in the 1840s and 1850s, and a locally listed canal warehouse built in 1935. In total, there are five listed buildings and six locally listed buildings.[1] One locally listed building, the former Co-op furniture factory works (1899) on Belmont Row was destroyed by fire on 11 January 2007 in a suspected arson attack. Seventy-five percent of the building was damaged by a fire which caused the roof to collapse and which also destroyed seven arched windows.[3] On 18 January 2007, the façade of the building, which had survived the fire albeit smoke damaged, collapsed in on itself in high winds owing to the lack of support it received after the fire had been put out. This building had been due to be redeveloped as part of the Ventureast regeneration project

It will be weeks before sanitation experts will comb through the wreckage and find our hero, maybe sooner if the scavengers can find a way through the barrier.
For now, Flit must remain in this state until someone finds her and hopefully has the tech to do a full reboot. Let's hope nothing overly heavy gets sucked into the magnetic pull over the next link-up scheduled in a few days...

I did stick my neck out here thinking I might vaguely ID this critter. I was actually looking for a Barn Owl, which was less than cooperative in terms of photo ops, so these guys were a great consolation.
The other day we drove down to Elk Rapids to a Walk in the Park. Nice to be out side too. Packed a lunch and although it was cool we sat in the car had lunch and enjoyed this view.

Never seen this mixture of rocks and asphalt in other countries than the Netherlands.
Today I spent the whole day in Halton Conservation Area. We had the first, warm Spring weekend. Even though I didn't see any blooming flowers or fresh, green leaves, I felt the presence of Spring.
This is one of the views, that I admired today.
or so they tell us--for a bit at least. It's been one blast after another for months, it seems!

Small forest of hardwoods keeps watch over Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area in Chanhassen/Chaska, Minnesota.
This was originally the site of the Mudcura Sanitarium, a world-famous spa that was opened in 1909 and operated until 1951.
Per MNOpedia, in 1951, the sanitarium was sold to the Black Franciscans, Order of Friars Minor Conventual, from Louisville, Kentucky. They named it Assumption Seminary and the site became linked with both the Colleges of St. Catherine and St. Thomas in St. Paul.
The Seminary remained in operation until 1970 and then sat vacant for many years, becoming a popular hangout for teens and other thrill seekers. The main building burned and was demolished in 1997.
The land is now home to the Minnesota DNR Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area that protects the rare calcareous fen that is now the star of the show here.

This flower changes color from pure white when it just opens, then progressively darkens with violet stripes as it ages. This is a very challenging flower to photograph! Many tries before I took this one that I feel is of presentation quality. Hope you like it!

Above are the beautifully etched doors leading into the upper floor of the dining area. Our assigned table was in the upper right hand corner of the picture below. By the second night, the sea had calmed considerably and we were able to enjoy the first of two gala dinners, where we got dressed a bit fancier than the rest of the week. Fortunately, we all survived the earlier rough sea day without incident!
