In spite of saving this toads life at least a couple of dozen times over the course of a summer season he does not look impressed with my efforts. Apparently my porch was the place to be that summer if you were a toad however I had several dogs that made it their quest to catch and not release this dude. He turned the porch into his own personal vacation villa. I found him on several mornings swimming and relaxing in the dogs water bowl. There were a few occasions when I opened my kitchen door to look for him before I put the dogs out and he was sitting staring at my door only about 2 inches away. I swear I could hear him knock sometimes......ha ha. It had a good ending as the dogs were not successful in having toad legs for dinner that entire summer.
A red rose photographed at David Austin rose gardens and nursery near Albrighton in Shropshire, England. Sadly, David Austin Snr died in 2018.
I am always impressed by how much the English love their gardens and however small a garden may be, they usually include at least one rose.
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate the kind comments and faves very much.
The cone of the Licancabur (5916 m - 19409 ft) dominates us from its full height. On its right is the Juriques (5,704 m - 18714 ft).
The Licancabur owes its name to the Indians of Atacama, and means mountain or volcano of the people (lican-cabur).
This mythical volcano, asleep but not considered extinct, is the real postcard of the region of San Pedro de Atacama and Lipez. It marks the border between Chile and Bolivia.
From its height of 5916 m (19409 ft), it dominates the Atacama Salar at Chilean side, and the Laguna Verde in Bolivia. This stratovolcano has a crater, located in Chile and 400 m in diameter, with a lake of 90 m by 70 m in its center.
The Licancabur also houses many Inca ruins and a sanctuary at its summit; it was an eminently important place for the pre-Columbian cultures of the region.

Un volcan impressionnant
Le cône du Licancabur (5916 m) nous domine de toute sa hauteur. A sa droite, on voit aussi le Juriques (5,704 m).
Le Licancabur doit son nom aux indiens d'Atacama, et signifie montagne ou volcan du peuple (lican-cabur).
Ce volcan mythique, endormi mais non considéré comme éteint, est la véritable carte postale de la région de San Pedro de Atacama et du Lipez. Il marque la frontière entre le Chili et la Bolivie.
Du haut de ses 5916 m, il domine notamment le salar d’Atacama coté chilien, et la laguna verde en Bolivie. Ce stratovolcan possède un cratère, situé au Chili et de 400 m de diamètre, avec en son centre un lac de 90 sur 70 m.
Le Licancabur abrite également de nombreuses ruines Incas ainsi qu’un sanctuaire en son sommet ; il fut un lieu éminemment important pour les cultures précolombiennes de la région.

Explore Feb 1/08 Common Goldeneye. Mating pose to attract the females. A female Common Goldeneye often lays eggs in the nest of another female, especially in nest boxes. She may lay in the nests of other species of ducks as well. Common and Barrow's goldeneyes lay in each other's nests, and Wood Ducks and Hooded Mergansers often lay in the goldeneye's nest too.

** From Fountains Abbey it is only a short walk along the river to the Studley Royal water gardens . The gardens were designed by John Aislabie in the early seventeenth century, they are a fine example of a Georgian water gardens
The Temple of Piety seen in the centre of the image is one of the many neo-classical buildings in Studley Royal.
a bit more background
In the early 18th-century John Aislabie had great plans to impress visitors to his Yorkshire estate and so turned the wild and wooded valley of the river Skell into one of England’s most spectacular Georgian water gardens.
John Aislabie inherited the Studley Royal estate in 1693. He was a socially and politically ambitious man and became Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1718. Disaster struck his career in 1720 due to his part in the South Sea Bubble financial scandal and he was expelled from Parliament. It was then that John returned to Yorkshire and devoted himself to creating this ground-breaking garden. Inspired by the work of the great French landscape gardeners, the two gifted amateurs created the Water Garden with its formal, geometric design and extraordinary vistas; including the much photographed Temple of Piety.You can also find classical statues, follies and garden buildings carefully positioned within the landscape to discover and enjoy.
Amazingly the garden you see today is little changed from the one that would have impressed Aislabie’s visitors 200 years ago.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

Lot's of Sharpies pushing through Raccoon Ridge today in Blairstown, NJ. Almost 100 in 1 hour. Light was pretty bad most of the time I was up there, but when that sun was out...oh man! The more I use my new Canon R5, the more I am impressed! This is a 2.73% crop from the original photo. The animal eye detection feature is just killer! Thanks for looking!

Duff House in Banff … the front entrance has the double sweep of an imperial staircase, making the front beautifully symmetrical.
Now in the care of Historic Environment Scotland, it is part of the National Galleries Scotland and is a Category A listed building. It holds part of the National Portrait collection.

This fella was trying to impress the lady, you can just see her hiding under the tree. She didn't seem very impressed with his mating display.
Canyon du Mal INFERNET Dans l’Estérel.
Superbe balade qui forme une boucle avec des vues superbes sur de nombreux sommets de l’Estérel, et en particulier le Mont Vinaigre, le Pic du Cap Roux et le Perthus Occidental.
