Pretty much every natural beach in Alaska looks like this. In it's on way this beach is as beautiful as a sandy beach.
In the first day that I was in the fields (a Sunday), there were many cars and many people there as you may saw in the previous photos.
Most of them were photographing the flowers, other up the hill having lunch, buying artcraft products, observing the destroyed city or searching for the better viewing angle to see the wonderful mosaic of colors - a splendid gift from nature with human intervention.
I realized that people were having so much fun there, each one in his own way, but the most popular game was certainly collecting memories.
I know a million people have
taken a picture of this bike but it's just so pretty I couldn't resist.

National Trust Properties
A La Ronde, Summer Lane, Exmouth, Devon.
A La Ronde is a sixteen-sided property built in the 18th century for two cousins Mary and Jane Parmenter. It is Grade 1 listed, the gardens are Grade 2 listed. It is now run by the National Trust.
The house was built in 1796 and is based loosely on the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy. There was on the lower floor, a strong room, wine cellar and kitchen. The upper part of the house, there were bedrooms, study and many collected items. The cousins were fond of travelling and bought back many shells and other collectables.
Another feature were the triangular closets with diamond shaped windows. There has been quite a bit of renovation. A new bathroom was installed, central heating and new dormer windows fitted. More construction took place, a water tower and laundry room was built. This work took place when Rev. Oswald Reichel took over the tenantship in 1886. There is a Shell Gallery on the top story of the house which has been restored back to how it looked when the two cousins owned the property.
Another building that was erected in the cousin’s time was the ‘Point-in-View Chapel’. Alas a building I did not visit but the house and garden very worthwhile a visit when you’re close to Exmouth.
A mural with a task to collect them all. I will see if I can find more …..;-))

Macro Mondays theme ~ Games people play
Cluedo (/ˈkluːdoʊ/), or Clue in North America, is a murder mystery game for three to six players. The object of the game is to determine who murdered the game's victim, where the crime took place, and which weapon was used. Each player assumes the role of one of the six suspects, and attempts to deduce the correct answer by strategically moving around a game board representing the rooms of a mansion and collecting clues about the circumstances of the murder from the other players.
What to do when you have a lot of hay bales to collect up .. pile them up as high as they will go, put a few more on, then drive off, of course! A scene witnessed while relaxing on the balcony having lunch.

Colecciono planetas
Me hace falta una estrella para quien girar"
"The universe about to explode

I collect planets
I am missing one star for whom to spin around"

A scene repeated throughout the Kenyan countryside. Outside of tourism the key industry in Kenya seemed to be agriculture which was labour intensive and virtually devoid of mechanisation.
Macro Mondays theme is "sewing notions." I had to laugh because I cannot thread a needle and the only thing I have ever sewn was a simple shift in 6th grade Home Economics class and that was a mandatory assignment. To make matters worse, we had to wear our dress to class upon completion. My shift was so poorly made I had to wear a sweater over it because the armholes were way too little. That was in Houston, Texas and the temps that day were almost triple digits. So....above I displayed a simple button I have been wanting to sew on a blouse and it has been put on the back burner for at least half a year. Just can't do it! I would much rather bake a cake any day!
Signalman comes onto the track to collect the token , knowing that the single track from Ramsbottom to Rawtenstall is now free for the train waiting in the station to proceed up the line in safety ..
... there’s probably one in here. 68, High Street, Hastings.
6’8d - six shillings and eightpence - was a third of the old pre decimal British pound. Twelve pennies in a shilling. Twenty shillings in a pound. It was all rather complicated but there were certain tricks to make multiplication and addition easier, which I’ve now forgotten. If we were to go back to that system, and nothing would surprise me now, a lot of people would have difficulty with it - there would have to be an app.
I remember 6’8d once being the price of a “single” vinyl record.

As if, the sunlight was trapped in between the petals of this pink flowers. No flash, no lighting support, purely sunlight...
