A familiar path is like an old friend who welcomes you back, to enjoy another moment together. There is an association that although commonplace, is beyond the recognized and more engaging.
Trekking nature's pathways may divulge different opportunities given our various seasons. It is another reason to enjoy the familiar while experiencing the changes that unveil new opportunities.
Engaging return to this Alpine valley after seven months.
The last snowfall in April still left pleasant traces on the higher peaks and north-facing slopes.
All the meadows are richly coloured with flowers and are a joy to behold.
Il Giardino Selvatico
Molto piacevole il ritorno in questa valle alpina, dopo sette mesi. Montagne ancora discretamente innevate, dopo una abbondante nevicata in Aprile, mentre nei boschi e nelle verdi praterie, le fioriture danno spettacolo.

"The Wreckers" is a sculpture in Mallory Square in Key West, Florida. The plaque in front of the sculpture said the following:
"This magnificent sculpture "The Wreckers" at 18 feet long and 25 feet high captures the spirit of Key West as a bold, boisterous and bustling sea town out on the frontier of a young America. The early wreckers are depicted engaging in their work of saving lives and cargo from a vessel come to ultimate peril on our reefs. Wrecking was the island's first economy and the reason for her early existence. In fact, Key West became the richest city per capita in the U.S. during the mid 1800's due to the salvage fees received by the wrecking captains and crews; and ultimately the businessmen, lawyers, clerks, packers, dock hands and insurance agents ashore. The monument was created at the hands of master award winning sculpture James Mastin of Miami, Florida"
"The Happy Family" is a renowned painting created by the Dutch artist Jan Steen. Painted during the 17th century, Steen was known for his ability to capture scenes of everyday life with a touch of humor and wit.

At the center of the composition, a jovial couple sits at a table, surrounded by their children and other relatives. The scene is filled with laughter, lively conversation, and playful interactions. The family members engage in various activities, such as eating, drinking, playing music, and engaging in games. Steen's use of vibrant colors and intricate brushwork further enhances the joyful atmosphere of the painting.
Despite the apparent chaos, "The Happy Family" also carries a deeper message. It serves as a reminder of the importance of familial bonds and the joys of shared moments. Steen's portrayal of the diverse characters and their interactions reflects the complexities and dynamics of family life. Through his portrayal, he highlights both the humorous and challenging aspects of domesticity.

Our trip on Śnieżka in The Karkonosze Mountains is ending. We are already in the valley and we are go back to Karpacz :)
Karkonosze or Giant Mountains are a mountain range located in the north of the Czech Republic and the south-west of Poland, part of the Sudetes mountain system. The Czech-Polish border, which divides the historic regions of Bohemia and Silesia, runs along the main ridge. The highest peak, Śnieżka, is the Czech Republic's highest point with an elevation of 1,603 metres. On both sides of the border, large areas of the mountains are designated national parks (the Krkonoše National Park in the Czech Republic and the Karkonosze National Park in Poland), and these together constitute a cross-border biosphere reserve under the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programme. In Karkonosze you can find many impressive rock formations. These weathered blocks of granite form high towers which often resemble humans or animals, and reach heights up to 30 metres. The range has a number of major ski resorts, and is a popular destination for tourists engaging in downhill and cross-country skiing, hiking, cycling and other activities.

Nasza wycieczka na Śnieżkę powoli dobiega końca. Jesteśmy już w dolince i schodzimy do Karpacza :)
Karkonosze - najwyższe pasmo górskie Sudetów i zarazem Czech rozciągające się na przestrzeni ok. 40 km (od Przełęczy Szklarskiej na zachodzie do Przełęczy Lubawskiej na wschodzie). Szerokość pasma waha się od 8 do 20 km. Karkonosze zajmują powierzchnię ok. 650 km2, z czego do Polski należy 185 km2 czyli 28,46%. Głównym grzbietem oraz Grzbietem Lasockim przebiega granica polsko-czeska. Najwyższym szczytem jest Śnieżka (1603 m n.p.m.) – najwyższy szczyt Czech, Sudetów i Śląska. Karkonosze należą do Światowej Sieci Rezerwatów Biosfery UNESCO i są chronione poprzez utworzenie na ich terenie Karkonoskiego Parku Narodowego oraz Krkonošského národní parku. Charakterystycznym elementem karkonoskiego krajobrazu są malownicze formy skalne, zwane tu skałkami. Łącznie można wyróżnić co najmniej 150 grup skalnych i pojedynczych skałek, różnej wielkości, kształtu i wysokości sięgającej do 25 m.

This shot taken about 41 minutes after the shot posted yesterday. Same sow and cub
Sorry, I'm on a bear roll right now so bear with me.
After engaging in a very successful pollen-gathering session, a bee cautiously emerges from the bright flower of a Prickly Pear cactus (Opuntia sp.) in the Sonoran Desert, Santa Rita Experimental Range, Arizona. As I sat there with the camera, it really did appear to be watching me, gauging the level of risk that I might pose. Once I was deemed suitably harmless, or maybe it got desperate?, it was off to another destination.
Thanks for your visits and comments, and happy belated Earth Day!
Beautiful farmland smack in the city of Ottawa, it's a wonderful sight to see the horses enjoying the day. It is also an equestrian school.

Thank you to Les Brumes for her wonderful textures and huge thanks to my dear friend Lynn for her help with the texture education - :))))
I found his dark face to be really unusual and his eyes are so very penetrating. There are less than 500 Sumatran tigers left in the wild and they are considered to be critically endangered. What a beautiful, powerful, majestic animal. This photogenic fellow was seen at the Downtown Aquarium in Denver.
Pigmy or Dwarf Green Stripe Bamboo, Pleioblastus viridistriatus
This is such and interesting plant. It has a lot of texture, so it does not give off a shine because it doesn't have a smooth finish. So it has a kind of matte effect, soft watercolor effect naturally. The lucent leaf edges give off light.The leaves are textured with vertical translucent veins that add to the luminous quality of the plant. Between each vertical line, all the up and down the leaf, are tiny hairs that result in a look of flag-shaped rectangles. The entire effect of this texture is that is that it has the look of a woven textile. The genteel green stripes and shadings look like they have been lovingly brushed on to each leaf. Finally, easily overlooked are the very cute tiny pink tips. The growth habit is random with the leaves criss-crossing. The wind was blowing them around. In a grouping they have a delightful chaotic appearance. A joyous sight, I couldn't take myself away from them.
