Another pretty I found on my tour of our yard during the snow/sleet/icy rain storm. The mountain fire andromeda were beautiful but I hope not damaged by the ice. Press "L" for the best view of the ice drops.

Just before dawn in Richmond, Virginia. The Canal is lit up by the city lights and the highway overhead.
Biking. Canal Cruises. Outdoor activities. Nature. Art. History. Restaurants. Stretching 1.25 miles along the James River and the Kanawha and Haxall Canals, the Canal Walk presents centuries of Richmond’s history, from Powhatan's Chiefdom to the first commercially successful electric streetcar system in the world. The bike-friendly Canal Walk connects the Virginia Capital Trail and Low Line gardens on the east to Brown's Island and Belle Isle on the west. Take a 40 minute narrated historic tour on the Riverfront Canal Cruises from the first weekend in April to the 2nd weekend in November. Explore the area and discover the April 1865 exhibit, located on Brown's Island, hanging over the James River and connecting to the Potterfield bridge, a popular biking and walking bridge. History is interpreted through medallions, monuments and exhibits. The Richmond Slave Trail connects through the Canal Walk. The old hydroelectric plant is adorned with a gallery of street art murals. There are over 75 restaurants and 40 attractions and activities within walking distance.

Sally Lightfoot crabs are rumoured to have been named after a Caribbean dancer, due to their agility in jumping from rock to rock, their ability to run in four directions and their capacity to climb up vertical slopes. This extreme agility makes them very difficult to catch.
They are brightly-coloured coastal scavengers, found in the Galapagos Islands and across the western coast of South and Central America. They have an extremely generalist diet, feeding on anything from sea lion placenta to other crabs. This makes them an important part of the ecosystem, as they provide services such as keeping the shore clean of any organic debris and eating ticks off marine iguanas. . Adult crabs show characteristic intense blue and red colouring on their shells, with a white or pale blue underbelly. Younger crabs have darker colouration with red spots, providing a higher degree of camouflage. Every time the crabs moult their shell, the spots become gradually larger, until they obtain the adult colouring.
Female Sally Lightfoot crabs carry their eggs around with them on their stomachs until they hatch into the water. The larvae then swim out to deeper waters, where they consume phytoplankton and undergo a rapid series of moults. Eventually they undergo metamorphosis to become juvenile crabs and swim to shore, where they start to scavenge, becoming bigger and more colourful with each moult. These juveniles tend to travel in large groups until they reach maturity, after which they become largely solitary when not mating. When they are not mating or feeding, the crabs spend their time hiding in cracks in rocks. If they are disturbed, they may spray water or shed one of their legs as a defence mechanism.
Their scientific name is Grapsus grapsus.

"I'm sure it can't be too deep, and the grass looks so much greener on that side..."
Explored # 392 This is my friend Tenisha.. I think she's a great model! :D
Today I bought some balloons, they are SO expensive :o
Then we went to the field and I took so many shots.. I think I'll make a stop motion, cause I don't want to upload every single photo :D
In one week I will choose the winners of the print giveaway.
So you still have time to enter :D
This pair of roe deers was very curious as I stopped with my car by the field where they were grazing. The male had a very characteristic look as he only had one horn left. I really like this photo!

Gelbert Explorer passing under Mount Snowdon on the Welsh Highland Railway at Rhyd-Ddu. So lucky to have this view from the footpaths in front of our holiday home.
