Dollar Lake is a natural lake at about 10,000 feet in the West Elk Mountains. I could see trout in the shallow water in the foreground.
My Peace will stand before anything on the face of this earth........I don't bow down to mankind.....I look up to where my help comes from..........I am who I am........ No One is perfect and that's is how it is......I do unto others as I would have them do unto me......If they do me wrong they go right beside George Washington in the History book.
This is a native wildflower from Tennessee. It is a Celedine Poppy. The flowers are the size of a half dollar and they spread quickly. A wonderful plant. There is a tiny spider on the bloom too!!
Dollar Glen has deep gorges, cascading waterfalls, Castle Campbell and woodland walks in the Ochil Hills.

Fascinating is the plant that can visually hook gardeners, not with fancy foliage nor flashy flowers, but rather dried seed pods—those faded leftovers of a glorious growing season. Well, welcome to the strangely fascinating world of lunaria (Lunaria annua) also known as silver dollar plant or money plant because of the round, parchment-like seed casings it produces in late summer that have the shimmer of freshly minted silver coins.
ON/OFF - Thank you very much for visiting and commenting! Really appreciated!
I've been sittin here
Tryin to find myself
I get behind myself
I need to rewind myself
Lookin for the payback
Listen for the playback
They say that every man bleeds just like me
And I feel like number one
Yet I'm last in line
I watch my youngest son
And it helps to pass the time
I take too many pills it helps to ease the pain
I made a couple of dollar bills, but still I feel the same
Everybody knows my name
They say it way out loud
A lot of folks fuck with me
It's hard to hang out in crowds
I guess that's the price you pay
To be some big shot like I am
Out strecthed hands and one night stands
Still I can't find love
And when your walls come tumbling down
I will always be around
Yeah
As it...hey
And when your walls come tumbling down
I will always be around
People don't know about the things I say and do
They don't understand about the shit that I've been through
It's been so long since I've been home
I've been gone, I've been gone for way too long
Maybe I forgot all things I miss
Oh somehow I know there's more to life than this
I said it too many times
And I still stand firm
You get what you put in
And people get what they deserve
Still I ain't seen mine
No I ain't seen mine
I've been giving just ain't been gettin
I've been walking that there line
So I think I'll keep a walking
With my head held high
I'll keep moving on and only God knows why
Only God
Only God
Only God knows why, why, why, why
Only God...knows...why, why, why
Only God knows why
Take me to the river edge
Take me to the river, hey hey hey
The Beijing Diary
Street Performer in Temple of Heaven
In my humble opinion, the Temple of Heaven in Beijing is the least "must-see" among Beijing's must-see tourist destinations. Aside from the actual Temple of Heaven, the rest of the temples in this vast place are ordinary by Beijing's temple standards.
But what sets this place apart is the many street performers you will see there. It's a collection of different performers, from musicians, to dancers, to martial artists and some showcasing traditional chinese sports.
Like this charming old chinese playing his traditional musical instrument. After playing, he asked for a dollar from a foreigner video filming him.
"One dollar..."
The caucasian man smiled and walked away.

The Continental Mark II is an ultra-luxury coupé that was sold by the Continental Division of Ford for the 1956 and 1957 model years. The only product line ever marketed by Continental during its existence, the Mark II served as the worldwide flagship vehicle of Ford Motor Company. The vehicle derived its name from European manufacturing practice, with "Mark II" denoting a second generation (succeeding the 1939–1948 Lincoln Continental).
As the most expensive American-produced automobile of the time, the Mark II was marketed against the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Produced solely as a two-door hardtop coupe, the Mark II used standard Lincoln mechanical components, including its "Y-block" V8 and automatic transmission. The rest of the vehicle was largely hand-assembled, leading Ford to lose thousands of dollars for each example produced.
Following the 1957 model year, Ford discontinued its flagship Continental division, with the division phased into Lincoln from 1958. For 1969, Ford revived the chronology of the Mark series with the debut of the (second) Continental Mark III coupe, leading to five successive generations; the model line currently ends with the 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII coupe. In modified form, Lincoln still uses the four-point star emblem introduced by the Mark II; each version of the Mark series (and the 1982-1987 Lincoln Continental) was styled with a "Continental" spare-tire trunklid.
Intended as a successor to the Lincoln Continental, effectively making its predecessor a Mark I, the Continental Mark II made its world debut at the Paris Motor Show in October 1955.The Mark II debuted in the United States at Ford Motor Company headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. With a $9,966 base price (equivalent to $95,100 today), the Mark II was the most expensive domestic-produced automobile sold in the United States at the time. The only extra cost option offered for the Mark II was a $595 ($5,700 today) air conditioner. Despite its high price, Ford Motor Company estimated it lost nearly $1,000 ($9500 today) for every unit produced
To streamline production, powertrain components were adapted from the Lincoln model line and checked through the division's quality-control program during production. The 368 cubic-inch Lincoln Y-block V8 powered the Mark II, paired with the 3-speed Turbo-Drive automatic transmission. For 1956, the engines produced 285 hp, increased to 300 hp for 1957
Total productions for the two years produced was 3005 units including about one half dozen preproduction and prototypes.

"Back in the Day" -- Macro Mondays
Back in the day, Canada used to mint a silver dollar. It was about 1.5" across and was fairly heavy. It was about 80% silver. The one shown here is probably worth about $40.
My late father had a collection of silver dollars which he kept in a cloth bag in a drawer. They were mainly special issue commemorative coins which were legal tender but people usually just kept them. The over-exposed one on the right was for Canada's centenary 1867 - 1967. The under-exposed one on the left commemorated the centennial of B.C.'s entry into Canada 1871 - 1971. The one in the centre was just a regular issue coin but it touched me when I found it among dad's things. It was issued the year I was born.
Four five-dollar gold coins from the late 19th century. Background is the blue field of a United States flag that my wife received when she retired from the Navy in 2010, flown over Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
Altadena, California
Waited an age hoping that the amount of cloud would not obscure the colour. Just the right combination in the end, worth the wait.
…one from an evenings stroll ‘wave watching’ - a most relaxing pastime when visiting the coast, no Silver Dollars found on this visit sadly. Hope your W/End is going well, Alan:-)…..

Aspens on fire above the evergreens and beneath a deep blue Rocky Mountain sky. Taken at about 10,500 feet (3200 m) of elevation along the Million Dollar Highway in southwestern Colorado.
I'm sharing this in the ProPhoto RGB color space, as SRGB washes out the yellows and oranges way beyond how they looked to the naked eye.
Thanks very much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, wherever in the world you might be.
We have to buy these fish for the pond, From what I am told is they do a really good job at keeping all the muck down. I am not sure I understand what "muck" really is, but the fish must like to eat it. At least until the Blue Heron comes along. And make a free meal out of our 12 dollar fish.
An Oriental dollarbird (Eurystomus orientalis) was framed enjoying morning sunshine from the top of a tree. The morning sunshine made it look glowing with colours here. Pics was taken from a garden in Kolkata, West Bengal, India.

Million Dollar Quartet is a recording of an impromptu jam session involving Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash made on December 4, 1956, at the Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee
The ranch of course is on Last Dollar Road. It is near the north side of the road. I believe that is Mt. Sneffels in the background.
The road to the ranch entry is easy to drive.
La Vénus spatiale de Salvador Dali (1904-1989), près de la Terrasse Dufferin, Vieux-Québec, Canada.
C'est la quatrième sculpture monumentale de Dali exposée devant le Château Frontenac depuis 2016. Arrivée en plein confinement et installée avec plusieurs semaines de retard, elle s'offre depuis quelques semaines aux regards des passants. D'une valeur de 3,5 millions de dollars, l'œuvre de l'artiste catalan mesure 3,5 mètres et pèse 1500 kilogrammes. La Vénus spatiale fait partie de l'exposition Picasso, Dali et Riopelle qui se déploie à l'intérieur du Château Frontenac, plus précisément à Galerie Sylvain Fortier.
Ce bronze est un hommage à la femme. On y retrouve certains motifs propres à l'artiste, comme la montre molle, qui symbolise le passage du temps, l'œuf, synonyme de vie, et enfin les fourmis, qui évoquent la mortalité humaine.
Derrière juste à gauche, on aperçoit le monument de l’UNESCO qui commémore l’inscription de l’arrondissement historique du Vieux-Québec sur la prestigieuse liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO en 1985. Québec a été la première ville en Amérique du Nord à y figurer.
La terrasse Dufferin est un belvédère situé dans la haute ville de Québec attenant au Château Frontenac au pied de la Citadelle. Édifiée en 1838 pour cacher les ruines du château St-Louis brûlé en 1834, puis agrandie en 1854 et en 1879, elle se compose d’une longue promenade en bois au-dessus du cap Diamant dans l'arrondissement historique du Vieux-Québec, dominant le fleuve Saint-Laurent, la Rive-Sud et l'Île d’Orléans.
Sand dollars are species of flat, burrowing sea urchins belonging to the order Clypeasteroida. Some species within the order, not quite as flat, are known as sea biscuits. Sand dollars can also be called "sand cakes" or "cake urchins".
