Another edible prop. Had to have one of these buns today as it's the correct day for them = the last Tuesday before Lent.
When I was little the lid was always triangular and there was not as much cream and almond paste in them as there is now.

2023 Photo 109/256: I saw this tiny doe drinking from a hillside spring as I was walking to the Blue Ridge Tunnel that runs under the mountain between Afton and Waynesboro, Va. The doe still had its winter coat and was obviously not a fawn, but she was so small that I wondered how it possibly could have made it through the winter. ©2023 John M. Hudson | jmhudson1.com
Sometimes you find nice things in second life and they make you smile :)

Yesterday it snowed, this morning was really cold (- 10C) and now it seems like spring is in the air.

A bit busy today, so it's my Macro Mondays theme photo for my one a day.
The card was given to us for Christmas by a friend. She saves all her old cards and is given others by friends and each year she makes her own for friends from parts of her card collection. Every one unique.

12th April 2021:
Once I'd taken Rufus out for his first prom, I had a couple of things to do in town, so grabbed my camera and off I went.
First real out I've had in awhile as the weather hasn't been great. On my way home I walked round the lower car park and past a garden that always seems to be full of flowers in Spring.
Just love Pot Marigolds so had fun getting some photos of them.

Graham took me shopping this morning so I could choose my Birthday present (next week). I picked up my camera as we went out.
As we walked into town I noticed this frog on the back of a van, a printing business and took a photo. On our way home I saw this one on the front of the van, far more fun than the one on the back as he's looking far too chilled out!

This is a detail from a stone which was to be used as a pendant, but I never finished it.

We've been bombed in the garden with Sweet chestnuts. Sadly none big enough to roast. The Jackdaws, I think, fly over with them and accidentally drop them, but don't seem to fly down to collect them up again.
Offline ..., having an evening watching TV.

HBM! A couple running near a bench in Humber Bay Park West, taken yesterday in Toronto. I was too busy to post these bench photos earlier.
Best seen large by clicking on the photo. Thanks for visiting, enjoy each day!
Leaning haphazardly against each other, this rock formation towers over the Wadi Rum visitor centre. It proceeds to a gradual peak with the highest pillar at its front. The clear, rounded shapes of the pillars standing side-by-side allowed it to inherit its name. Because of it shapes, this mountain look like many things. A collection of lopsided pillars, a procession of figures fanned out behind their leader, the bulwark of a great ship sailing through an ocean of sand. The modern name is taken from TE Lawrence’s memoir of his time in the desert. Though only five of these pillars are immediately visible, the other two are around the side. It is possible to walk around the formation but the best view is from a distance near the visitor centre. The original Arabic name is Jebel al-Mazmar, which means “The Mountain of the Plague.”
This site is one of the most amazing hiking spots in the area. The trail is one of stark contrasts: on one side, flat sands spread long distances, the very picture of the dry, yellow desert of the imagination in summer. In winter and spring, it is scattered with low grasses and bushes that animals come to graze on. Keep your eyes peeled and you might even spot a camel or two! On the other side, the mountain leaps from the ground in a sheer wall of sandstone and granite. A walk along the base of the rock is done easily at your own pace. Upon approaching the foot of this majestic mountain, tilt your head back and take in the enormity of the pillars. Massive as big-city skyscrapers, these natural formations speak of something ancient. A testament to this place and its withstanding thousands of years of both human and environmental turmoil.

Having had a dreadful evening/night yesterday I wasn't sure if I'd get out, but I also thought a bit of fresh air might do me more good, so I headed out. I also wanted to get the leaf detail of this photo :
www.flickr.com/photos/44506883@N04/51871939236/in/datepos...
to help with the ID. I did find the plant and did take some photos, but they were rubbish, so the shrub remains nameless until I can get to it again.
On my way home, I heard one of our Song Thrushes, so then just had to find it. Luckily it had chosen a telegraph pole to sit on, rather than a tree. It not only sounded lovely, but looked great with the blue sky too.

The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.
There was a brocante in town this morning so both Graham and I went down to see what was for sale. A Brocante (think antique fair.) It is a slightly posher version of a Vide Grenier (car boot sale). The items on sale tend to be of a better quality and therefore more expensive. Though this didn't seem to be the case at ours this morning. It was a mixture of both events.
We picked up an alarm clock and a mixer both for under 10€ and were happy with our purchases. Now if money grew on trees I might well have taken a more serious look at some of these beautiful old cameras.
Maybe better viewed large.

Legend has it that Pirene was the most beautiful daughter of the god Tubal, then owner of these lands. She had been named caretaker of the waters and she lived among the immensity of the forests, where she walked and enjoyed nature.
When Hercules was on his way to perform one of her twelve labors, she passed through one of the forests. At the meeting, the two fell in love and loved each other in the warm night. However, Hercules soon forgot his promises of love and decided to continue on his way, abandoning Pirene.
Rumors of the beauty of Tubal's daughter had also reached Gerion, a three-headed monster who lived in Erytheia. Gerion went to meet Pirene and tried to take her, but when she refused, he decided to burn the forest that burned in the flames.
The news reached Hercules, who retraced his steps to help Pirene. But when he arrived it was too late. He only found a lifeless body. Pirene had died in the fire.
Destroyed and sorry for her loss, Hercules decided to bury her among some enormous and beautiful stones, giving rise to the mountain range that would bear her name, the Pyrenees.
Cuenta la leyenda que Pirene era la más hermosa hija del dios Tubal, dueño entonces de estas tierras. Había sido nombrada cuidadora de las aguas y vivía entre la inmensidad de los bosques, donde paseaba y disfrutaba de la naturaleza.
Cuando Hércules se dirigía a efectuar uno de sus doce trabajos, atravesó uno de los bosques. En el encuentro, los dos se enamoraron y se amaron en la noche tibia. Sin embargo, Hércules pronto olvidó sus promesas de amor y decidió continuar su camino, abandonando a Pirene.
Los rumores de la belleza de la hija de Tubal también habían llegado hasta Gerion, un mounstro de tres cabezas que vivía en Eriteia. Gerion fue al encuentro de Pirene e intentó tomarla, pero ante su rechazo, decidió quemar el bosque que ardió entre las llamas.
La noticia llegó a oídos de Hércules, que volvió sobre sus pasos para ayudar a Pirene. Pero cuando llegó ya era demasiado tarde. Solo encontró un cuerpo sin vida. Pirene había muerto en el incendio.
Destrozado y arrepentido por la pérdida, Hércules decidió enterrarla entre unas enormes y hermosas piedras, dando lugar a la cordillera que llevaría su nombre, los Pirineos.

4th November 2020:
Rufus: "It's Wednesday again, so Mum was stuck at home while Dad was out with Auntie Christine. She didn't mind, especially when I snuggled up next to her on the sofa.
She got her picture making thing and took a photo of me, but changed her mind and put the thing much lower down and tried again.
We both liked this one of me almost having 40 winks. I then got bored, so went and lay on the bed. I'll then hear Dad when he comes home too."
