Blueberries is very healthy all the time :-)
Here we enter the macro world with a bokeh capture of an amarican blueberry in Norway.
Wikipedia:
Blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) are perennial flowering plants with indigo-colored berries. They are classified in the section Cyanococcus within the genus Vaccinium. Vaccinium also includes cranberries, bilberries and grouseberries. Commercial "blueberries" are native to North America, and the "highbush" varieties were not introduced into Europe until the 1930s.
Blueberries are usually prostrate shrubs that can vary in size from 10 centimeters (3.9 in) to 4 meters (13 ft) in height. In the commercial production of blueberries, the smaller species are known as "lowbush blueberries" (synonymous with "wild"), while the larger species are known as "highbush blueberries".
The leaves can be either deciduous or evergreen, ovate to lanceolate, and 1–8 cm (0.39–3.15 in) long and 0.5–3.5 cm (0.20–1.38 in) broad. The flowers are bell-shaped, white, pale pink or red, sometimes tinged greenish. The fruit is a berry 5–16 millimeters (0.20–0.63 in) in diameter with a flared crown at the end; they are pale greenish at first, then reddish-purple, and finally dark purple when ripe. They are covered in a protective coating of powdery epicuticular wax, colloquially known as the "bloom". They have a sweet taste when mature, with variable acidity. Blueberry bushes typically bear fruit in the middle of the growing season: fruiting times are affected by local conditions such as altitude and latitude, so the peak of the crop, in the northern hemisphere, can vary from May to August.
Old soldiers never die they only fade away.
But the young ones do not die, no they are cut down instead.
And someone pulled the trigger, gave the order, held the sword,
And some one wrote the advert in the paper that they read.
Thy will be done,
But you won't get your hands on my son.
You can wait till kingdom come.

While walking around and taking in views of fallen leaves in Lithia Park in Ashland Oregon. My thinking in composing this image was to get down low with my iPhone and angle it such that I created a sweeping view across the carpet of fallen leaves on this grassy field.

Even on a cloudy day this is one of my favourite views on Dartmoor. Situated on the south-west side of the moor, Sheepstor (in the centre of the picture) is a tiny village with just a few dozen residents. Its church, St Leonard's, dates from the 15th century. The village is named after Sheeps Tor, the granite outcrop that can be seen on the right of the picture. Its summit is about 1,200 feet above sea level. On the left of the picture can be seen Burrator Reservoir, which dates from 1898, when it was completed in order to supply drinking water to Plymouth. The reservoir was subsequently enlarged in 1928.
Today's Post finds me in the court yard of where I live. Looking at one of the trees with #Nemo in full swing. It's not as bad as the news was saying it would be, but it's still snowing so we'll see how much we get! Day38/365 #project365 - Nemo
i had planned to get a photo of Comet Neowise in the night sky from the edge of my garden as has become somewhat customary in the recent weeks, unfortunately nature has conspired against me by providing blankets of cloud at the wrong time. though tonight the sky was clear, unfortunately, the comet has lost its brightness and is now barely descernable, I've added an arrow to point it out.
I am not sure what the light trail is from in the upper region, i never noticed anything pass, though it is very bright, i expect it is a reflection of a passing satellite though please note that the ISS passed around 1/2 hr earlier and further to the south.

Temple of Apollo in Palatia (Portara)
It is about the most imposing “door” of Cyclades, known as Portara to the locals which is located in the area of Palatia (“Palaces”). It stands out over the hill thanks to its great dimensions 54m x 28m. It was the gate of a temple dedicated to the god Apollo on an islet called Palatia which is connected with the rest part of the town with a stone paved path, work of the recent history.
It is a building of 6th century composed of 4 mololiths, which are made of Naxian marble of more than 6m in length and about 20 tons in weight. The construction of the temple was started by the tyrant Lygdamis in around 530 B.C. but it was never completed. There are many rumours related to the history of the temple. Its rectangular shape is orientated towards the island of Delos and it is probably associated with the god Apollo.
During the early Christian times the temple was turned into a basilica church, as it was usual in those times, and it was preserved until the period of the Venetian Rule. Several of its marble parts were used in the construction of the Castle. Moreover, according to the mythology, Theseus deserted Ariadne on the islet of Palatia and then came Dionysus and took her away.

My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves
