I found these photos in my archives - I had forgotten all about them.

Four of my grandchildren had a "sleepover" last night so not much time for Flickr. I will catch up with everyone later tonight.

Playing around with some SkeletalMess textures and PicMonkey. I would love to learn how to do textures properly, but I am having fun with PicMonkey for now.

Evening market in the streets of Istanbul

On the shore of the Bosphorus

That small minaret was very loud

The cooler weather has been here for a few days and the bees have been few and far between. When I have spotted them they are buzzing around madly trying to gather pollen before Winter arrives.

I am running late tonight - too many interesting shows on TV LOL. These are some photos of the honey bees that have been buzzing around the little purple bush in my garden. I have never managed to find out the name of this plant, but the bees really love it.

These are some more photos of the Teddy Bear bees that fly around my neighbour's garden. I have been making the most of my visits before the new people move in. The bees will disappear soon as the weather is now getting cooler and Winter will soon be here.

西江千户苗寨 (Miao Village of a Thousand Households) is the largest Miao tribal village in China.

Hagia Sophia. This place used to be cathedral, a mosque, a church and now a museum

Cerro Torre is a 3,128m peak located on the border between Argentina and Chile in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. Its sharp, jagged ridges and spires are the result of intense glacial erosion, which carved away at the softer rock, leaving behind the more resistant granite.

Largest Dong Rain and Wind Bridge in the world.

坐落于此程阳八寨旁的林溪河上的程阳永济桥是世界上规模最大的风雨桥。风雨桥是侗族建筑的代表，集廊、亭、塔、阁于一身。侗族村寨大多建在河溪两旁，跨水而居。桥是重要的交通枢纽，桥上的亭子，供人休息，聚会交流，遮风挡雨，因此叫“风雨桥”。

Basha village is famed for being China’s last tribe of gunmen. This primitive miao village is hidden away in a forest and with stilted wooden houses. Men in Basha preserve their musketeer heritage, which makes Basha the only tribe that can legally carry real guns in China.
