In the magical conditions around sunset, Blanca's coat can take on various hues and sometimes seems to glow with an iridescent shimmer.
I'm always staring at her and smiling at how beautiful she is! :)

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
Camellia Sasanqua. The blobs of light below are fallen flower petals. Thanks for the visit and have a great midweek.
About five meters high, iron, and standing, like a menhir, a prehistoric standing stone, on top of the Dunstable Downs, UK. It seems to say to generations far into the future: we have been here. Before you. We have lived, loved, suffered, and died. And so will you.
The function of this remarkable structure, however, is a lot more prosaic. It catches the wind and pumps fresh air into the visitor centre nearby. Samyang wide-angle lens at F8 or F11 plus a polariser. Image has been slightly cropped.
Male and females look the same. Females may be a bit larger and studies show that females may have a dark eye fleck near it's pupil. They have large feet and are found at low tide feeding on mussels, limpets and worms and also found on rocky cliffs. Their voice is very high pitched and easily distinguishable from other birds. They have the strangest looking feet and it's the reason I chose to share this photo with you. This appears to be a male since it doesn't have an additional black eye fleck.

Thank you all for your visits comments and faves much appreciated!

Among the mussel- and barnacle-covered rocks of the Pacific Coast lives this stout shorebird with a gleaming reddish bill, yellow eyes, and pink legs. Apart from these highlights, their dark bodies—black on the head and neck, chocolate brown elsewhere—disappear into the dark rocky background. Look for them foraging on falling tides, when exposed marine organisms are vulnerable to quick strikes from their sharp, stout bills. Oystercatchers remain paired year-round, and often fly in duets over water and shore giving their pleasant whistling calls.
Black Oystercatchers from Alaska to about Oregon are entirely black, but southward from there birds show increasing amounts of white feathers and browner (less black) abdomens. These differences between southern and northern populations result from hybridization that has happened between Black and American Oystercatchers in the southern part of the Black Oystercatcher’s range.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. Maya Angelou

Captured from Chapel Porth Beach, Cornwall. Chapel Porth Beach is a small sandy and pebble cove at the bottom of a narrow valley on the North Cornwall coast. At low tide the beach extends to an excellent wide beach which is popular with surfers. Note that the sand at Chapel Porth is completely covered at high tide. The coast path can be walked to St Agnes Head for spectacular views. On the coast path the Wheal Coates mine can also be visited. www.cornwallbeachguide.co.uk/northcornwall/chapelporth/ch....
Magnolia grandiflora is very special.
Thanks to its large, shiny leaves, this evergreen tree is attractive all year round.
From May to September, this exotic-looking tree blooms with white, fragrant flowers, sometimes up to 25 cm in size.
A real eye-catcher!
An unusual evergreen, Magnolia grandiflora boasts large, leathery leaves with a glossy dark-green colour on top and a bronzed, furry underneath.
The gloriously huge, creamy flowers in summer (July/September) have a complex lemon perfume and look magnificent against the dark background.
Due to its evergreen nature and large flowers, this Magnolia is hugely popular.
A present brought from Holland.
Have a day full of joy, thank you, Magda, (*_*)
