Gerrie was explaining to Huntley what the white cups were for. I personally like tea over coffee but do like it occasionally.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday

Niente storie, niente detagli, solo un attimo a guardare questa rosa ai suoi ultimi giorni di gloria e bellezza.
No stories, no details, only an instant to admire this rose at it's last days of glory and beauty.
I've mentioned "karst" in my previous photo and I'd like to visualize it with this photo.
I was talking about the "Gottesacker", a Karst landscape on the Hoher Ifen. Imagine the cracked rock face in this photo as a huge area with even deeper cracks and crevasses, lying under your feet. That is a Karst landscape. It took millions of years for rain and streams to dissolve part of the limestone (like the one we see here).
This photo was taken from the same spot as the previous one.

And: I don't like Comment-Codes, "awards", or such groups. Because of that, Comment codes, "Awards" and invitations in such groups will be deleted. There is an Explanation at my profile.
So, if you want to say something about my photo, it will be really appreciated, no matter if it's about liking or some constructive criticism. Your own thoughts and words will mean much more to me than a universal-text.
Also please don't post pictures in the commenting-area. You could post them much better in your own photo stream. ;-D
Explanation: This colorful cosmic skyscape features a peculiar system of galaxies cataloged as Arp 227 some 100 million light-years distant. Swimming within the boundaries of the constellation Pisces, Arp 227 consists of the two galaxies prominent on the left; the curious shell galaxy NGC 474 and its blue, spiral-armed neighbor NGC 470. The faint, wide arcs or shells of NGC 474 could have been formed by a gravitational encounter with neighbor NGC 470. Alternately the shells could be caused by a merger with a smaller galaxy producing an effect analogous to ripples across the surface of a pond. Remarkably, the large galaxy on the right hand side of the deep image, NGC 467, appears to be surrounded by faint shells too, evidence of another interacting galaxy system. Intriguing background galaxies are scattered around the field that also includes spiky foreground stars. Of course, those stars lie well within our own Milky Way Galaxy. The field of view spans 25 arc minutes or about 1/2 degree on the sky. (text: apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap110226.html)

……This may need a little explanation - there are new houses being constructed on the site of the Creamery where I worked for 33 years. When I started in 1980 the new drier block had just been built - that’s the tall buildings in the middle, I was eventually production manager of that department. After several years and moving around the departments there I ended up in the finance department in the Admin block by the the left hand new house - the two NEW houses you see are now on the site of that Admin block. There are to be some 130 houses in total covering the whole site - at least this was a Brown Field development!
If you’ve ever spread Country Life butter or Clover Spread on your toast then this is where it would have been made. The site was also home to an innovative R&D department where a plethora of new development dairy products began their life and are still in common use still today…..
The two images were ’slid’ into place especially for Sliders Sunday as an ‘in camera’ double exposure of two images on my Mac - one originally from my Phone the other day & the other was a shot from across the fields on my last day before retirement in July 2012 (see 1st comment box). Happy Sliders Sunday to all, Alan:-) HFF…..

Some looks don't ask for attention.
They simply take it.
Bold prints, confident eyes and a touch of attitude , sometimes, the best statement is made without saying a word.

[EN] I'll reserve the explanation about International Women's Day for these Wikipedia articles:
[PT] - pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dia_Internacional_das_Mulheres
[EN] - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women%27s_Day
because what I like is photography, not politics.
It was Autumn 2015, with temperatures that differed little from those of Summer, and I, in the company of the most important person in the world, that is, in the company of my wife, was strolling through Vila Real de Santo António. It was Monday, but that year we were on (late) vacation at that time.
A street artist caught our attention, trying to earn a few coins by interacting with the occasional spectators with some simple tricks with playing cards.
‘How beautiful!,’ I thought. Okay, nothing transcendent; after all, all women are beautiful, except for those rare exceptions who, like certain men, freely choose to be ugly. But that's another story, and far be it from me to set myself up as a terrace vigilante here.
And now I ask: does it make sense to have a world day for this or that? I think that, with respect and responsibility, every day is a world day for everybody, everything and anything.
It is completely wrong that in certain regions of the globe there are populations dominated by medieval or prehistoric thoughts and ideologies, where women are considered ‘inferior beings’ and are tortured or even mutilated... And there are other regions where, instead of doing something to end this, these facts are used to foment hatred and petty competition.
The evolutionary curve of humanity varies greatly from region to region, or even from individual to individual. Competition based on hatred and ignorance can make money and give the illusion of power. But I remain hopeful that, one day long after I am gone, the ‘rotten fruit’ will fall on its own, and that people will truly become equal in terms of rights and duties.
Meanwhile, the alarm clock rang... Argh!
For now, respectable women, have a good day, any day of the year, anywhere in the world.

até porque o que eu gosto é de fotografia e não de política.
Corria o Outono de 2015 com temperaturas que pouco diferiam das de Verão, e eu, na companhia da pessoa mais importante do mundo, ou seja, na companhia da minha esposa, passeava por Vila Real de Santo António. Era segunda feira, mas nesse ano estávamos de férias (tardias) nessa altura.
Chamou-nos a atenção uma artista de rua que tentava amealhar alguns trocos ao interagir com os espectadores de ocasião com alguns truques simples com cartas de jogar.
“Que linda!”, pensei. Pronto, nada de transcendente; até porque todas as mulheres são lindas, salvo aquelas raras excepções de, tal como certos homens, optarem de livre vontade por serem feias. Mas isso são outros cinco tostões, e longe de mim armar-me aqui em justiceiro de esplanada.
E agora pergunto eu: faz sentido haver dia mundial disto ou daquilo? Acho que, havendo respeito e responsabilidade, todos os dias são dias mundiais de toda a gente, tudo e mais alguma coisa.
Está completamente errado em certas regiões do Globo haver populações dominadas por pensamentos e ideologias medievais ou pré-históricas, onde as mulheres são consideradas “seres inferiores”, e são torturadas ou mesmo mutiladas… E há outras regiões onde, em vez de se fazer algo para que isso acabe, se utilizam esses factos para fomentar o ódio e a competição mesquinha.
A curva evolutiva da humanidade é muito díspar de região para região, ou mesmo de indivíduo para indivíduo. A competição baseada no ódio e na ignorância pode render dinheiro e dar a ilusão de poder. Mas eu mantenho a esperança de que, um dia muito depois de eu “me ir embora”, a “fruta podre” caia por si só, e que as pessoas passem a ser realmente iguais no que toca a direitos e deveres.
Entretanto tocou o despertador… Argh!
Para já, respeitáveis mulheres, um bom dia para vocês em qualquer dia do ano e em qualquer parte do mundo.

Explanation: A bright spiral galaxy of the northern sky, Messier 63 is about 25 million light-years distant in the loyal constellation Canes Venatici. Also cataloged as NGC 5055, the majestic island universe is nearly 100,000 light-years across, about the size of our own Milky Way. Known by the popular moniker, The Sunflower Galaxy, M63 sports a bright yellowish core and sweeping blue spiral arms, streaked with cosmic dust lanes and dotted with pink star forming regions. This deep exposure also reveals an enormous but dim arc extending far into the halo above the brighter galactic plane. A collaboration of professional and amateur astronomers has shown the arc to be consistent with the stellar stream from a smaller satellite galaxy, tidally disrupted as it merged with M63 during the last 5 billion years. Their discovery is part of an increasing body of evidence that the growth of large spirals by cannibalizing smaller galaxies is commonplace in the nearby Universe.
