New River Gorge boardwalk with 178 steps down to viewing area for the bridge. These are just part of them! A lovely winding walk down through the trees!

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!
Today is a triple challenge day !! We have an orange day at Color My world daily. We celebrate Teddy Bears at Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday. The theme at the awesome Crazy Tuesday Group is Upside Down.
This is a perfect theme for a lensball picture, so here we go.
Mr. Teddy Bear was stuck in this huge glass ball… and he was upside down. He was feeling a little bit dizzy. Of course being upside down after eating a whole pot of Nutella isn’t recommended by the Canadian Journal of Medicine…but he was stuck in this position and the glass ball was way too heavy for him to turn it back up…
He didn't want to get a hernia (which happens more often than you think !!) on top of his dizziness !! So he just decided to stop moving, took a ginger pill for his nausea and waited upside down in this orange environnement until he felt better.… and that is when I took this picture.
Of course, I turned the lensball back up and Mr. Teddy bear was free to go as soon as the picture of the orange upside down situation was taken.
Have a beautiful day my friends !! And see you soon on Flickr !!
Happy CMWD, HTBT and happy CT to all participants !! And for the rest of us: happy day !
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

One of 10 Blackbirds that have invaded our garden over the last couple of days - all at the same time! Between them, they have managed to clear the berries from six of our 15 Pyracantha shrubs that we planted in the summer. This Blackbird has made a start on our Cotoneaster Cornubia now. Taken today, between the snow showers, through the window. You can see a few snowflakes falling.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view comment or fave my images.

Bow down, bitches
Let me see you get low
I said, "Bow down, bitches"
See the queen on her throne
We're the ones you can't deny
We're beautiful on our own
So damn good at being bad
Yeah, baby, we lost our soul
What do you see, please tell me ;-)
"Looking Down"
Music and lyrics by the group 'Audiovent'.

Yeah
My shadow stretches far and free
Yeah
It's telling me what I could be
Could be
Cause I'm tired
Of looking up
All the time
We'll stand on top of the world
Looking down
We'll stand on top of the world
Looking down

Possibly zero access to Flickr (hopefully not!) I will be away soon, off to Snowdonia with my lovely sister Margaret. I won't be on much at all from Sunday 14th July for a few days. I hope to have time to show you a few photos from there in future, if I manage any good ones !
This was taken in Plantsbrook Nature Reserve - not Wales - at the very end of May. Amazing to think how lovely the weather was then, how much rain we've had since - and now it's 'changeable'. That's the UK for you - 'changeable' in most ways !
Take care of yourselves and have a lovely time everyone !

And for no reason at all, apart from the fact I love Joan Armatrading and this song, here is some music for you.
Joan Armatrading - Down to Zero
Thank you for looking - every view, comment and fave is really appreciated !
Almost back at the car now after having great fun descending on the bike back down Glen Tanar. Trout Loch near the Tanar Estate Office is rather beautiful and offers some great reflections among the trees.
Mount Keen is the most Easterly of all the Munros and although it is the closest to where I live, although I've climbed 10 others before climbing this, my 11th Munro. It stands at 939 Meters (3080 feet) and forms an almost perfect cone in its prominence. I made the ascent from Glen Tanar, cycling 6 miles in by bike (with an ascent of 210 meters / 689 feet), taking about 1.5 hours. This left me a final climb of just over 2 miles, with an ascent of 549 Meters (1801 feet), which I did surprisingly quickly (for me) at not much more than an hour. Including stops the whole trip was just over 4.5 hours, not bad for a 50 year old covering 16 miles of tough ground.
Officially, the 4th tallest waterfall in Silver Falls State Park. The falls drop 134 feet, plunging straight down before striking a steeply slanted protrusion of basalt which causes the stream to veiling the remaining distance to the floor of the canyon. As the name of the falls implies, Winter Creek only flows during the winter months, or in this case the wetter times of the year.
The waterfalls of Silver Falls State Park were discovered and named by local photographer June Drake in the late 1880's.
