Up on Derwent Edge in the Peak District, the weathered stones take on some strange shapes. This one is popularly known as the Cakes of Bread - it's one of 3 or 4 similar ones standing in a row but at annoying spaces that didn't look great in a collective shot. Definitely a she I think. And struck me as being a rather comical, and now petrified, invading giant.
Every morning before going to school, Clotilde helped her mother by gathering the freshly laid eggs from the family’s hen house. Still warm, the eggs she gathered from amidst the nests of straw and stray feathers made by their hens were white or brown, sometimes delicately speckled and sometimes not. Then, one morning, close to Easter Sunday, as she hunted around the hen house, Clotilde found a different egg nestled comfortably in the straw, surrounded by feathers of red, bronze and yellow. The egg was a delicate shade of blue, and rather than speckled, it was dimpled all over, like a dew covered leaf. Clotilde gasped as she admired it with reverence as it sparkled and shimmered in the morning sunlight. As she looked at it, she saw the egg move and heard a crack like glass splintering. Carefully Clotilde crouched down to wait and see what fantastic, magical bird would be forthcoming from within the surprising egg she discovered.
Easter represents hope, as do eggs, which also bring the promise of good things to come. Easter eggs symbolise hope, new life, resurrection, and fertility, aligning with both pagan and Christian interpretations of the holiday. We all need hope in the world today, and a reason to smile, find beauty and joy. My wish for you, is that you experience and find all these things!
This egg is actually a wonderful dimpled European glass ornament which I hang along with its pink counterpart every Easter. A friend sends me box of Haigh’s chocolate Easter Eggs every year. One year when I went to throw out the box, I rediscovered that it was full of shredded paper packaging, which reminded me of a nest. Inspired, I fetched my blue glass egg and nestled it amongst the paper, but it needed something to make the nest more homely, so I sprinkled around a few of my feathers from my feather collection. I then took the box with nest outside and photographed it in the mid morning sun.

Only through extreme (some would say over the top) processing could I bring out the sunrays in the sky, which to me was necessary to create the fairy tale like atmosphere of the place and the moment. The field is sloping slightly up to the right which may deceive you into thinking that the horizon is not straight.

It is a peaceful and tranquil place where visitors can reflect and appreciate the beauty of Thai culture and tradition. The Sanctuary of Truth also serves as a cultural and educational center. It hosts various workshops and events throughout the year, aimed at promoting traditional Thai arts and crafts. In Thai culture, goddesses are often depicted with bare breasts as a symbol of fertility, abundance and caring. This is a common motif in many Asian cultures and also appears in Indian and Balinese art, for example.
The left hall in the Sanctuary of Truth is an impressive wooden structure that resembles a cathedral. The hall has an imposing height of about 30 meters and is decorated with numerous statues and sculptures depicting Thai mythology and history. With high arches, vaults and elaborate carvings, it is reminiscent of Gothic architecture. Built using traditional woodworking techniques, the hall has over 100 beautiful carvings and sculptures depicting various aspects of Buddhism, Hindu mythology, and Thai culture. It represents the birth of life and humanity. It contains statues and sculptures depicting the creation of humanity, the earth and the cosmos. It is a fascinating place to visit for anyone interested in Thai culture and history, and who appreciate the beauty of traditional woodworking and architecture. There are images of gods and goddesses, Buddhist teachings and symbols of life and nature. Another interesting feature of the interior of the left hall is the large central atrium, which is lit by a skylight. This atrium serves as a kind of sanctuary, where visitors can meditate. In general, the inside of the left hall is a wonderful example of the rich Thai culture and history, and the wood carving techniques used to create it are very impressive.
The Sanctuary of Truth is een prachtige tempel in Pattaya, Thailand, die een eerbetoon is aan de traditionele Thaise architectuur en vakmanschap. De tempel is volledig gemaakt van hout, met ingewikkeld houtsnijwerk dat verschillende hindoeïstische en boeddhistische godheden uitbeeldt, evenals oude Thaise mythologische figuren. In de Thaise cultuur worden godinnen vaak afgebeeld met blote borsten als symbool van vruchtbaarheid, overvloed en zorgzaamheid. De bouw van het Sanctuary of Truth begon in 1981 en is nog steeds aan de gang. De tempel heeft een oppervlakte van ruim twee hectare en is meer dan 100 meter hoog. Het is ontworpen door een lokale zakenman genaamd Lek Viriyaphant. The Sanctuary of Truth is niet gelieerd aan een specifieke religie, maar dient eerder als een symbool van de eenheid van alle religies en overtuigingen. Het is een vredige en rustige plek waar bezoekers de schoonheid van de Thaise cultuur en traditie kunnen overdenken en waarderen. De linker hal in de Sanctuary of Truth is een indrukwekkende houten structuur die lijkt op een kathedraal. Met hoge bogen, gewelven en uitgebreide houtsnijwerk versieringen doet dit denken aan gotische architectuur. Het vertegenwoordigt de geboorte van het leven en de mensheid. Het bevat beelden en sculpturen die de schepping van de mensheid, de aarde en de kosmos weergeven. Het is een fascinerende plek om te bezoeken voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in de Thaise cultuur en geschiedenis, en die de schoonheid van traditionele houtbewerking en architectuur waarderen. Er zijn afbeeldingen van goden en godinnen, boeddhistische leerstellingen en symbolen van het leven en de natuur. Een ander interessant kenmerk van de binnenkant van de linker hal is het grote centrale atrium, dat wordt verlicht door een dakraam. Dit atrium dient als een soort van heiligdom, waar bezoekers kunnen mediteren en ontspannen

Symbol of fertility an wealth.
Wünsche Euch für das neue Jahr alles, was der Granatapfel symbolisiert.
Contam os caminhos que Oxum é a orixá que rege a fertilidade, e tudo relacionada a ela. A fertilidade do mundo. É com ela que a Ayaba se torna uma Yalode, uma mulher muito importante. É ela quem transforma a a menstruação (que é um ciclo incômodo) em algo precioso, como as penas vermelhas de uma arara rara.
The ways tell us that Oxum is the orisha who rules fertility, and everything related to it. The fertility of the world. It is with her that Ayaba becomes a Yalode, a very important woman. It is she who turns menstruation (which is an uncomfortable cycle) into something precious, like the red feathers of a rare macaw.

"Cholitas", Bolivian women wearing long braids and a bowler hat balanced on his head.
In 1849, upon request of the British army, the Bowler brothers invented a small round felt hat. The aim was to protect the head of gamekeepers from lower branches when they were in the forests of the kingdom. The hat was found in the luggage of British engineers when they went to build the railroad in Bolivia. Legend says that a trader selling at lost to the Bolivian men, proposed those hats to Bolivians women, assuring them that the bowler hat would bring them great fertility. This is how the "Bombín", colonial accessory, has become integrated in the culture of the country.

"One is constantly reminded of the infinite lavishness and fertility of Nature—inexhaustible abundance amid what seems enormous waste. And yet when we look into any of her operations that lie within reach of our minds, we learn that no particle of her material is wasted or worn out. It is eternally flowing from use to use, beauty to yet higher beauty; and we soon cease to lament waste and death, and rather rejoice and exult in the imperishable, unspendable wealth of the universe."
— John Muir

This farm girl can't get enough of this Ohio countryside. I think this is alfalfa, but it looks like a field of south GA peanuts. View large and take it in - I was amazed to see the rows in the far field.
Crooked River Canyon,
Smith Rock State Park, Oregon
One of the "7 Wonders of Oregon"
Can't say it any better than this writer, well said:
"..... a gorgeous cathedral of rock in the high desert of eastern Oregon. ...... hiking up Misery Ridge to Monkey Face Rock and along Crooked River. Rock climbers dotted the cliff faces and fellow hikers filled the dusty trails. The hike was steep and the day was hot, but the sheer beauty of Smith Rock erased every trace of discomfort, leaving me awestruck of this sacred place."
