I love colour. I love it even more when it is bold and used in a unique colour scheme.

 

I drove by this house twice before I stopped. It's just one of those places where all the pieces fit together to make the ordinary become extraordinary.

 

Bold, brave, and beautiful. It totally stole my heart.

Part of a herd in South Dakota, just off I-29. The traffic, the long grass which is a haven for ticks (yuck), stumbling through a ditch, all worth it for this stunning horse.

Brave

A beautiful Lioness we spotted while on a 2023 photo safari in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. She stopped her search for prey just long enough to show me those eyes.

 

In the savannas of Africa, female lions play a crucial and dynamic role in their familial groups, shaping the social structure and bearing the responsibility for the pride’s survival. Contrary to some common misconceptions, lion prides operate within a matriarchal social structure, where females hold the key roles in decision-making and coordination.

 

Lionesses are the primary hunters within the pride. Their exceptional teamwork and strategic approach to hunting are essential for the pride’s survival and well-being. Together, they deploy strategic hunting techniques, such as coordinated flanking and ambushing, to outwit their prey. Their synchronized efforts increase the likelihood of a successful hunt to secure food for the entire pride.

 

Male lions are typically responsible for protecting their pride from other males. However, the females play a vital role in defending the pride’s territory against threats such as leopards, hyenas, neighboring prides, and occasionally other males. The survival of a pride often hinges on the lionesses’ ability to protect their territory.

 

The lionesses’ strong maternal instincts are at the foundation of the pride’s social bonds. As a group, they are responsible for raising and nurturing the cubs. They teach essential survival skills, including hunting techniques and social behaviors, which ensure the continuity of the pride’s legacy. The pride communicates through vocalizations and body language, fostering a strong sense of community. The bonds formed among females contribute to the overall success and stability of the group.

 

In the lion pride, females emerge as the unsung heroes, weaving together the threads of survival, protection, and legacy. Their role as huntresses, defenders, nurturers, and leaders is integral to the pride’s success.

" TIME TO GET OUT AND ABOUT MY FRIENDS !"

========================

SEE at Stodmarsh, Kent, in the Elder Wood, this Female was acting very brave, it was a pure joy to see on my first trip to a nature reserve with a camera.. Did not see a lot, but the bird song was amazing, and being back with nature, was heavenly , I will never take nature for granted, and this has taught me to appreciate it far more, and to thank God for every new day on this planet.

========================

THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND, it means so much, in these difficult times. Please stay safe and well, enjoy the new week, Gods blessings go with you..................................Tomx.

Les Braves, Omaha Beach Memorial: „The Wings of Hope“, „Rise, Freedom!“ and „The Wings of Fraternity“

 

Do you know our earth is a mess

All the wars for nothing, it never ends

Everybody deserves a chance

All the souls, all the souls, can you hear them cry?

 

That you livein peace does not mean

It's okey to ignore all the pain

I see children joining the stars

Solders walk towards the dark, let me ask

 

Can you justify all the eyes

That will never see daylight

Give me one good reason to hurt

A helpless soul, break a heart, kill a mind.

 

Do you know how many innocents

Are hiding from punishment

For crimes they'd never commit

All alone, all alone, do they deserve

 

To die for believing something else,

For having a face someone can't stand

Do you know our earth is a mess

All the wars for nothing, it never ends

 

All the souls, all alone, hold them tight

All the souls, deserve a chance at life

Only one of all the Red-backed Shrikes I saw at the Cristei Meadow was brave and friendly enough to approach me.

On March 3, 1897, the Norwegian barque SS Nornen wrecked on Berrow Beach, Somerset, during a violent gale while sailing from Bristol with a crew of ten and a dog. The vessel, incapacitated by the storm, was driven onto Gore Sands, but all crew members were bravely rescued by the local RNLI lifeboat..

Within the last 5 or so miles of their trip remaining, the UP LSB54 local is about to run into a nice sized storm near Villa Grove. The crew will soon get out into the elements to yard the train. On the point is UP 1427, a unit of SP heritage still sporting its nose headlight. The nose headlight is becoming a rarity on UP’s GP40-2 fleet as they are relocating the light to the top of the cab and putting “baby wings” on the nose.

"Les Braves"

 

Les Braves is a war memorial that is located on the shores of Omaha Beach in the village of St. Laurent-sur-Mer in Normandy, France and commemorates the fallen American soldiers, of World War ll who have lost their lives on the beaches of Normandy, June 6th 1944.

  

The memorial represents three elements: The Wings of Hope, Rise Freedom, and the Wings Of Fraternity. French sculptor Anilore Banon, created the monument in 2004, commissioned by the French government to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the D-Day Invasion Of Normandy. In the center, there are seven stainless steel columns and a group of five columns that curve upwards, two columns stand upright, with the tallest reaching 30 feet. Stainless steel wings gracefully stand on both sides.

  

Intended only as a temporary art piece, the sculpture still stands on the shores of Omaha Beach widely due to public interest and petition. The sculpture has been described as a blend of art and nature and has been able to withstand the forces of nature surprisingly well.

A cold day at Peggy's Cove Lighthouse in Nova Scotia. A few brave souls take in the view.

When taking this image of a tree standing at the top of the Vancouver Public Library, the sunlight had just highlighted it while the rest lay in shadow. I was then reminded of a quote from school and copied a post that better explains the title.

 

"The origin of ‘Brave new world’

The phrase ‘Brave New Word’ is most famously the title of a science fiction novel by Aldous Huxley, published in 1932. It’s a phrase taken from Shakespeare’s play, The Tempest. It is used ironically as the brave new world, presented as a utopia, turns out in fact to be a nightmare in which human beings are trapped in a society where their humanity is deleted."
