ENGLISH
Echinops sphaerocephalus is a species of globe thistle which is known by the common name great globe thistle. This species is native to Eurasia but it lives on other continents where it was introduced, including North America where it is a widespread weed. This is a glandular, woolly perennial which approaches a maximum height of two meters. Its erect, branching gray stems bear the occasional sharply toothed, sharp-lobed pointed green leaf. Atop each stem is an almost perfectly spherical inflorescence up to 6 centimeters in diameter, packed with blue-gray disc florets. The fruit is a hairy cylindrical achene about 7 to 8 millimeters long.

Another dazzling group of explosions fill the sky at the Spruce Meadows 2012 Masters finale fireworks late Friday evening.
What a wonderful display this was to cap off an amazing evening!
Tres meses sin salir a hacer marinas. Parecía que iba a ser un atardecer bastante soso, cuando de repente, una explosión de color lo ha iluminado todo, el cielo, el agua, las rocas...
No he podido hacer lo que tenía pensado debido a las condiciones del mar, pero qué queréis que os diga, estoy muy contento de cómo se ha dado "el regreso"... :)
Por cierto, aprovecho para invitaros a echar un vistazo a mi página en facebook:
Waterlillies...so much variety in colors, shapes, and textures.
I can never get enough of waterlillies, especially close up views. This purple and yellow one was especially vibrant this morning (especially as it was surrounded by white ones).
Have been going through some of my old shoots, seeing what's there. Found a couple that I thought I'd share.

" CANCION "
Oh ansias de mi pasión;
dolores que en venir juntos
habéis quebrado los puntos
de mi triste corazón!
Con dos prisiones nos ata
el amor cuando se enciende
hermosura es la que prende,
y la gracia es la que mata.
Ya mi alma está en pasión;
los miembros tengo difuntos
en ver dos contrarios juntos
contra un triste corazón.

Just off to the right of this picture is the scene of the fifth largest non-nuclear, non-natural explosion in history, which took place on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus on 11 July 2011.
A large store of explosives and ammunition self-detonated, killing 13 people and severely damaging Southern Cyprus' only power station (the chimneys shown are part of the re-constructed facility).
When I took the photo I wasn't aware that it included a gravesite (indicated by an arrow) which I assume belongs to one of the victims. (To zoom in click on the picture once - or twice - and press the "Escape" button on your computer to return to the normal view)

The cactus plants in Arizona seem to burst into a colorful flower almost over night. This one stood out because of the amazing light and detail and of course the color. Wishing you all a great weekend.
Best viewed on black.
