Life Celebrates Diversity

I love the diversity of life in this forest
how some leaves shine when it's almost dark
how, in so many shapes and sizes,
the forest finds it's way
Today Northwest Germany was hit by heavy thunderstorms. My home town got just the perfect quantity of rain. Without obligations to water the garden I pinched (again) the scooter of my son to invade near by Lower Saxony. In the middle of nowhere I spotted this scene. Melle, Lower Saxony, Germany.
This shot is a symbol for a perfect balance. Hope that my dear friend with the orange hair will get sober one day to achieve something similar. May the cool waters of Canada have a healing effect.....
Thank you very much for your visits, favs and nice comments. I appreciate them very much. All the best to you 💕

I usually don't take pictures of birds at feeders, but I couldn't resist this one--three species, each with their own private "booth". The top two birds are American Goldfinches; the red-breasted bird is a House Finch; and, the bird on the right is a Black-capped Chickadee.

The Arecaceae are a botanical family of perennial plants. Their growth form can be climbers, shrubs, tree-like and stemless plants, all commonly known as palms. Those having a tree-like form are colloquially called palm trees. They are flowering plants, a family in the monocot order Arecales. Currently 181 genera with around 2600 species are known, most of them restricted to tropical and subtropical climates. Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem. However, palms exhibit an enormous diversity in physical characteristics and inhabit nearly every type of habitat within their range, from rainforests to deserts.
Palms are among the best known and most extensively cultivated plant families. They have been important to humans throughout much of history. Many common products and foods are derived from palms. In contemporary times, palms are also widely used in landscaping, making them one of the most economically important plants. In many historical cultures, because of their importance as food, palms were symbols for such ideas as victory, peace, and fertility. For inhabitants of cooler climates today, palms symbolize the tropics and vacations. Most palms are native to tropical and subtropical climates. Palms thrive in moist and hot climates but can be found in a variety of different habitats. Their diversity is highest in wet, lowland forests. South America, the Caribbean, and areas of the south Pacific and southern Asia are regions of concentration. Colombia may have the highest number of palm species in one country. 36744
Standing on the side of a logging road and looking out into Vancouver Island's rain forest, one cannot help but be amazed at the diversity of nature up in the trees. You need to stand there for a while and take it all in.

that it becomes more real than reality.

As fast as it appeared, it was gone. An amazing 180° rainbow, seen right from my bedroom window.. :) #Just0MinutesAwayFromHome
Aan het Kleine Gartmanplantsoen in Amsterdam vind je de mural Diversity in Bureaucracy gemaakt door Judith de Leeuw. Deze prachtige muurschildering is gewijd aan de bevordering van gelijke kansen. De kunstenares zei hierover: „De muurschildering toont een Surinaamse ballerina die danst in een wervelwind van officiële documenten, en heeft tot doel het bewustzijn te vergroten over het gebrek aan kansen en begrip tussen het centrum en de Amsterdamse wijk Bijlmer, waar een grote verscheidenheid aan mensen van kleur woont.”
