The ruins of Kirkham Priory are situated on the banks of the River Derwent, at Kirkham, North Yorkshire, England. The Augustinian priory was founded in the 1120s by Walter l'Espec, lord of nearby Helmsley, who also built Rievaulx Abbey. The priory was surrendered in 8 December 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Legend has it that Kirkham was founded in remembrance of l'Espec's only son who had died nearby as a consequence of his horse being startled by a boar.

Because your heart loves who it chooses, without any doubt or reasoning...
The world is full of love that goes unspoken. It doesn’t mean that it is felt less deeply… its beauty and its pain are in its silence.

Why don't you stay
I'm down on my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely
Don't I give you what you need
When she calls you will go
There is one thing you should know
We don't have to live this way
Baby why don't you stay

Being the national bird of Hungary, and capable of flying at speeds approaching 200mph I was delighted when this fabulous looking bird perched briefly to enable a few shots.
Image taken in the Hortobágy region of Hungary.
Many thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.
A person fully awakened to the jewel-like dignity of their own life is capable of truly respecting that same treasure in others.

Despite being from the cactus family, the May flower does not have any thorns. It originates in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil and is scientifically known as schlumbergera truncata.
Its preferences are similar to orchids in terms of support. In its natural environment it prefers to use tree trunks as support. Therefore, this place is one of the best to keep your flower.
The name of this plant became popular due to its flowering, which takes place in May. However, it can be known in other ways depending on the region you are in. Thus, other common names are: silk flower, easter cactus for the southern hemisphere and christmas cactus for the northern hemisphere.
This flower fell in love with gardening enthusiasts because it is medium in size, has a huge variety of colors such as pink, pale yellow, red, orange and white, in addition to being very easy to grow.
The May flower reaches 30 cm in height, and can be kept in smaller pots with a diameter of 10 cm. Another curiosity is that if this plant is pollinated, it produces pink fruits with 1 to 2 cm when ripe.
***
This plant blooms in autumn, which in Brazil takes place between March and May. This time is close to Easter, which is also related to the flower. On the other hand, it can still bloom around Christmas in the Northern Hemisphere.
In this way, the May flower is linked to festivals that symbolize rebirth and life. Because it has many cheerful colors, it brings more liveliness to any environment in which it is, valuing any garden decoration around it.
The name silk flower is related to the soft and delicate texture of this flower. Therefore, these definitions are also among its meanings, offering more softness to the place where it is grown. That's why you can even stay in the plants to improve the energy of the house.
If offered as a gift, its symbolism indicates an attitude of pure and true feeling. It can also be used for declarations of love, representing the sincerity of the relationship.

Have you seen the film Being there with Peter Sellers? Watch it! Simple and profound comedy. It is one of those films that pop up in my mind from time to time. When I tried to do this image in black and white, it immediately took away from the sense of being there. And also, to me, it seems that something extraordinary is about to take place next in this image.

Message from the Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers:
"As you move through these changing times... be easy on yourself and be easy on one another. You are at the beginning of something new. You are learning a new way of being. You will find that you are working less in the yang modes that you are used to.
You will stop working so hard at getting from point A to point B the way you have in the past, but instead, will spend more time experiencing yourself in the whole, and your place in it.
Instead of traveling to a goal out there, you will voyage deeper into yourself. Your mother's grandmother knew how to do this. Your ancestors from long ago knew how to do this. They knew the power of the feminine principle... and because you carry their DNA in your body, this wisdom and this way of being is within you.
Call on it. Call it up. Invite your ancestors in. As the yang based habits and the decaying institutions on our planet begin to crumble, look up. A breeze is stirring. Feel the sun on your wings."
Being at the top of Pico do Escalavrado is a unique experience. The peak is 1,420 meters / 4,659 feet above sea level and offers a breathtaking view of the city of Rio de Janeiro and Guanabara Bay. The trail to the summit is steep and challenging, but the effort was worth it for the sense of achievement when I reached the top.
Here are some of the meanings of being on the summit of Pico do Escalavrado:
Achievement: The ascent to the peak is a personal achievement. It is a challenge that requires physical strength, endurance and determination. Upon reaching the top, I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Connection: The peak of Escalavrado is a place of connection with nature. As I looked out over the stunning landscape, I felt small and insignificant, but also part of something bigger. I felt a sense of peace and serenity.
Inspiration: The peak of Escalavrado is a place of inspiration. Looking at the city of Rio de Janeiro, I felt inspired to reach my goals. I know anything is possible if I try hard enough.
Gratitude: Escalavrado peak is a place of gratitude. As I looked out over the landscape, I felt grateful for the beauty of the world around me. I also felt grateful for the people in my life.
If you are looking for a unique and challenging experience, I recommend the climb to Pico do Escalavrado. It's an experience you'll never forget.

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
by Rumi
The church being constructed in 1523 or 1453, the dates differing according to the different opinions of people, was in the valley of Mraconia in a very delighted and beautiful sight, at a very hidden place (Mraconia means a place being hidden). It is known that during the russian-austriac-turkish battle (1787-1792) it was destroyed. In 1823 there was found the ruins along with a slavic proverb being written upon: "Peceat Manastirea Lubostinie Hram Uspenia Presvistaia Bogaraditi Leto 1735."
In 1931 it started the reconstruction of the monastery, however, everything having been reconstructed was stopped in 1967 by the water of the Portile de Fier I. After this the monastery did not get the chance to be reconstructed again. It became the monastery under water, Mraconia. In the year of 1993 the new stone of the new church was put in there, too. From the old monastery however it is still kept the old gate and some other minor parts being exhibited in a museum, Eselnita Iin Romania on the Danube Gorges (DN57 Orșova-Moravița)

We all have moments where life seems too hard. I've had plenty of my own. I love this song because it represents being able to lean on someone share your pain and know that it's okay and that things will be okay, even if it's not right now. If you are struggling reach out, even when it seems like no one cares, I promise someone does. XOXO
So hey, if you feel like coming down
If you feel like coming around
Just call my name out loud, na, na, na
Hey, if you feel like coming down
If you feel like coming around
Just call my name out loud, na, na, na, yeah
Under your scars I pray
You're like a shooting star in the rain
You're everything that feels like home to me, yeah
Under your scars, I could live inside you time after time
If you'd only let me live inside of mine
Live inside of mine
“But many of us seek community
solely to escape the fear of being alone.
Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving.
When we can be alone, we can be with others
without using them as a means of escape.”

Thistle is the common name of a group of flowering plants characterized by leaves with sharp prickles on the margins, mostly in the family Asteraceae. Prickles can also occur all over the plant – on the stem and on the flat parts of the leaves. These prickles are an adaptation that protects the plant from being eaten by herbivores. Typically, an involucre with a clasping shape similar to a cup or urn subtends each of a thistle's flowerheads. Data from: Wikipedia
... again,
go within yourself
find out who you are,
then you'll know what's real and what's not.

Being that it's Sliders Sunday, I took the pink peony to Topaz Studio where I lightly edited it by adding an effect and background texture. HSS!
