Pretty much every natural beach in Alaska looks like this. In it's on way this beach is as beautiful as a sandy beach.
... at Little Town
"Ideals [and dreams] are like stars,
you will not succeed in touching them with your hands,
but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters,
you choose them as your guide,
and following them, you reach your destiny."
- Carl Schurz
(Cica Ghost's installation "Little Town" (with little additions)/ Region: "Taboo Rock")
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.

" The bee collects honey from flowers in such a way as to do the least damage or destruction to them, and he leaves them whole, undamaged and fresh, just as he found them."

You have a safe and lovely weekend
Les mésanges nonnettes sont de petits oiseaux sveltes, généralement curieux et peu farouches. Les mésanges nonnettes apparaissent généralement en couple à la mangeoire, prospectant avec d'autres mésanges. Cependant il s'agit de "couple" composés d'individus du même sexe qui passent l'hiver ensemble. Dès le printemps, lorsque les mâles commencent à chanter, les « faux » couples se séparent. Elles préfèrent chasser dans les niveaux inférieurs de la végétation et au sol. Elles accumulent souvent des réserves pour les périodes de disette.
C'est une visiteuse assez habituelle de nombreux jardins des zones rurales. Elle est assez timide, mais elle ne dédaignera pas les mangeoires en hiver en compagnie d'autres variétés de mésanges, à condition de trouver des arbres ou des buissons à proximité. Les mésanges nonnettes sont tellement vives et rapides qu'un court instant leur suffit, pour prélever des graines à la mangeoire. Dès qu'une place se libère, les couples plongent continuellement sur la mangeoire pour emporter des graines, A la différence des autres mésanges, les nonnettes prennent chaque fois plusieurs graines ; elles peuvent ainsi emporter jusqu'à trois graines de chanvre dans leur bec. Ces graines ne sont pas cependant consommées en même temps mais bien disséminées dans des cachettes appropriées telles que des fourches d'arbres, des crevasses dans les écorces ou des branches tombées au sol. Chaque graine est cachée séparément et souvent n'est pas retrouvée. Dans la nature, elle inspecte les arbres à la recherche d'insectes. Sur le sol, elle se nourrit de graines d'adventices, faînes, baies et graines de tournesol.

The chickadees are small, slender birds, usually curious and not very shy. Nutcrackers usually appear in pairs at the feeder, prospecting with other tits. However, it is a "couple" composed of individuals of the same sex who spend the winter together. From the spring, when the males begin to sing, the "fake" couples separate. They prefer to hunt in lower levels of vegetation and on the ground. They often accumulate reserves for periods of scarcity.
She is a fairly habitual visitor to many rural gardens. She is quite shy, but she will not disdain the feeders in winter with other varieties of tits, provided they find trees or bushes nearby. The chickadees are so quick and fast that a short moment is enough for them to collect seeds at the manger. As soon as a place is free, the couples dive continually on the feeder to take away seeds, Unlike the other tits, the nonnets each take several seeds; they can carry up to three hemp seeds in their beaks. These seeds, however, are not consumed at the same time but scattered in appropriate hiding places such as tree forks, crevices in bark or fallen branches. Each seed is hidden separately and often is not found. In the wild, she inspects the trees for insects. On the ground, it feeds on weed seeds, beeches, berries and sunflower seeds.
A mural with a task to collect them all. I will see if I can find more …..;-))
Found it in Arnhem.
Happy Wall Wednesday !

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.
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 ..
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.
... 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.
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!
Did you know, huimmingbirds collect spider webs and use them to make nests. They use spider webs to glue there nest together. I have seen them use lichen and and other small pieces of material with the spider web to bind them together and there nest is only about the size of a walnut as you can see in the image I shot below.

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