In some places the blackberries are ripe and have already been picked and/or eaten. In others they are yet to achieve that state. These are some of the latter..... Why there is this variatiion I have no idea.
I chose tulips for this week's Sliders Sunday image as to me, they represent new beginnings.
I know that hundreds of thousands of people in the southern United States have been profoundly impacted by Hurricane Ian and just before that, Hurricane Fiona devastated the Maritime provinces of Canada. I wish each of the affected people well as you begin to re-build and make sense of the world around you. Please take good care and know that those of us in Flickrland are thinking of you.

Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a wonderful day!

Everything that has a beginning has an ending.
Make your peace with that and all will be well.

~~The beginning of a new dune:
A dune is a mound of sand formed by the wind, usually along the beach or in a desert. Dunes form when wind blows sand into a sheltered area behind an obstacle. Dunes grow as grains of sand accumulate.
Every dune has a windward side and a slipface. A dunes windward side is the side where the wind is blowing and pushing material up. A dunes slip face is simply the side without wind. A slipface is usually smoother than a dunes windward side.~~

"For last year's words belong to last year's language,
And next year's words await another voice.

What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from."

As the year comes to a close, I want to offer a heartfelt thank you and abundant gratitude to all of my Flickr friends for helping me find my voice in my first year here. Your kind and generous comments about my photos and my writing, your thoughtful feedback, your support and encouragement, and your friendship, truly mean a lot to me.
And as a new year begins, I wish for each of you a year that brings good health, great joy, many moments of beauty, and days full of light and hope.

With all of the negatives going on in the world, it was refreshing to find this beautiful female Broad-billed Hummingbird, sitting proudly in her nest.
I found this common hepatica about to bloom in the forest today - a lonely little spot of purple, but a sure sign that spring is on its way.
I'm also very glad I got my first covid shot on Thursday, and I'm in love with that new sticker in my vaccination certificate LOL

Last night, another 25 cm of snow fell but that didn't stop our celebration of the beginning of spring, nor did this apricot tree start to bloom.
Have a nice day and thank you very much for visiting.

Patience is a virtue I often say. Having the patience of a saint is truly sometimes a burden.
Discovering this amazing Stonehedge with the sun setting in just the right way totally made my night.
My tour guide was amazing and such a perfect gentleman.

As the new year starts its pace we have some hopes, dreams and wishes. It's always a new beginning. Human's wish of happiness lives forever.
Here's the photo of the first minutes of the new day. One of the best days of recent summer that we spent on the shores of Baikal lake in Siberia.
I wish you all the best in 2022, good trips, beautiful photos and peace inside.
Thank you for all the comments and faves, my friends.
Strolling the flower gardens at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan, we came across this plant growing in the center of one of the beds. As meticulous as their gardens are, we felt it had to be a flower of some sort. It has since been identified by Plantaholic Sheila (below) as "Eryngium sp".
