A walk around the lake Stensjön. For my album “East of Gothenburg. Take a look !

Pululahua hostal, Quito, Ecuador

A very exhilarating experience to raise this Monarch from an egg to an adult and then see her fly away. Please plant milkweed if you can to keep the Monarch population up. It is the host plant for the Monarch and without milkweed, the larva would not be able to develop into a butterfly.

Thank you so much for your visits!

Antic hostal de camí ral, situat en una collada del municipi de Sant Agustí de Lluçanès (Osona), sota la muntanya dels Munts, en un indret travessat per antics camins ramaders i per la moderna cruïlla de carreteres que enllacen el Lluçanès amb el Ripollès i la plana de Vic.

Antiga masoveria de la masia del Vilar de Sant Boi, fins el 1965, és una masia de tipus basilical que té a la llinda la data de 1756. S'hi celebra una tradicional fira de bestiar el 28 de setembre, en l’època que els ramats de les contrades pirinenques i subpirinenques baixen a hivernar a les zones, més càlides, de l’interior. La fira se celebra en camp obert, i l’hostal li ha donat el nom de fira de l’Hostal del Vilar. (enciclopèdia.cat)

Autumn in the park

Dahlia El Paso on a spangled backdrop - lovely pink, lilac and yellow dahlia playing host to some wee critters....couldn't get a photograph without them, every time I returned, every shot :^)

In our garden.

Daffodils

another host plant for the Black Swallowtail butterfly, but I've never found an egg on it...

Dopravca HSL - Logistik s.r.o. nebýva na Slovensku často k videniu. Dnes sa na bratislavskej UNSke ukázal ich traxx 186.366, odkiaľ viezol ucelenku prázdnych kotlov do Nemecka.

Amazing sunset views

In the span of 10 years this site went from being an abandoned quarry to hosting the U.S. Open

Every year about this time, I watch the hosta plants emerge and I am captivated. Last year I was testing a lens and this is one of the shots captured.

If I remember correctly, shot with Rodenstock Retina Heligon 50mm f1.9.

Processed with Snapseed.

Hosta are looking particularly good this year. I have to spray them with deterrent to keep the deer from eating them to the ground. Deer seem especially fond of certain ones. I don't know if it's the plant or the location. I've sprayed three times already.
