The Grand Canal
Venice is an enchanting city that casts visitors under an intoxicating spell. It's dreamy and romantic, with an undercurrent of mystery and drama.
Venice, the capital of northern Italy’s Veneto region, is built on more than 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. It has no roads, just canals – including the Grand Canal thoroughfare – lined with Renaissance and Gothic palaces.
The central square, Piazza San Marco, contains St. Mark’s Basilica, which is tiled with Byzantine mosaics, and the Campanile bell tower offering views of the city’s red roofs.

Male cardinals are really beautiful, the sounds they make are very distinctive, this one looks at a plant I placed outside as if it was competing.
Платьице красное в черный горох — Вкус у нее — безусловно — неплох. Чудо-букашка! Я так тебе рада! Не улетай! Даже хлеба не надо! ......The dress is red with black peas — her taste is certainly not bad. The miracle bug! I'm so glad to see you! Don't fly away! Don't even need bread!...
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Is gone away
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
from lyrics of "Ordinary World" by Duran Duran

I, I gave it my all, I tried
But nothing could stop this fire
So hard to leave it all behind
And I know
The good with the bad, we fall
What is the point of it all? (mmh)
So there goes my heart, I fell apart
Trying to love
Wanna be free, so God, tell me, please
Is it in the stars? Oh
Feel it in my bones, oh, I've got to know
Tell me what it is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)
It is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)
On my mind always, at least three times a day
Tell me what it is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)
It is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)
Is it that sense of wonder? (wonder)
It hit like lightning (lightning)
Feel that inner thunder (thunder)
It's so inviting, yeah (ooh-ooh)
Feel it in my bones, oh, I've got to know
Tell me what it is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)
It is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)
Dive deep in the dark with no light
And I'm looking for a sign
Should I have left it all behind?
And I know life really takes its toll
But what is the point of it all? (yeah)
So there goes my heart, I fell apart
Trying to love
Wanna be free (wanna be free), so God, tell me please (God, tell me please)
Is it in the stars? (gotta know, oh-oh)
Feel it in my bones, oh, I've got to know
Tell me what it is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)
It is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)
On my mind always, at least three times a day
Tell me what it is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)
It is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)
Is it that sense of wonder? (wonder)
It hit like lightning (lightning)
Feel that inner thunder (thunder)
It's so inviting, yeah (ooh-ooh)
Feel it in my bones, oh, I've got to know
Tell me what it is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)
It is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)
Don't know how, a feeling so strange, yeah
The way time never stays the same
So is life with failure and age? (ooh-ooh)
Wondering, why do we throw so much shame? (why? Yeah)
You and I are one in the same (one in the same)
Dust from a heart to a flame (uh, right)
Is it love that proves in our faith? (is it love?)
Or how we move, spiraling? (Is it? Is it? Is it now?)
Oh, I feel it in my bones, oh, I've got to know
Tell me what it is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)
It is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

Europäischer Ziesel (Spermophilus citellus) - European ground squirrel
Die Ziesel (Spermophilus, Syn.: Citellus) sind eine Gattung der Erdhörnchen, die in Eurasien in 15 Arten verbreitet ist. Dabei umfasste die Gattung lange Zeit deutlich mehr Arten, die auch in Nordamerika vorkommen; diese wurden jedoch nach einer Revision auf der Basis morphologischer und molekularbiologischer Daten in insgesamt acht Gattungen aufgeteilt.
European ground squirrel (Spermophilus citellus)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_ground_squirrel

Photographed at the Lakeside STA
Yes that is the same fence from which the wet web bung in the prior photo - a two-fer.
From Cornell:
The sweet, lazy whistles of Eastern Meadowlarks waft over summer grasslands and farms in eastern North America. The birds themselves sing from fenceposts and telephone lines or stalk through the grasses, probing the ground for insects with their long, sharp bills. On the ground, their brown-and-black dappled upperparts camouflage the birds among dirt clods and dry grasses. But up on perches, they reveal bright-yellow underparts and a striking black chevron across the chest.
Lakeside Ranch Stormwater Treatment Area (STA)
Located in western Martin County, the Lakeside Ranch Stormwater Treatment Area plays a crucial role in the restoration of the Lake Okeechobee watershed by improving the quality of water flowing into the lake. The wetlands treats stormwater runoff from the Taylor Creek and Nubbin Slough basins to the north before that runoff enters Lake Okeechobee.
Approximately 2,700 acres of Lakeside Ranch is open to the public to enjoy hiking, bicycling, wildlife viewing or simply relaxing. The recreation area is surrounded by levees that are accessible to visitors on foot or on bicycle.
Kuznetsky Most is one of the most beautiful pedestrian streets in the historical center of Moscow.
The street got its modern - and at the same time historical - name thanks to the Kuznetsky Bridge across the Neglinnaya River. Today, Kuznetsky Most Street attracts citizens with its high-quality landscaping, an abundance of architectural monuments and an unusual relief: due to the significant difference in heights between Petrovka and Rozhdestvenka, the city landscape looks especially picturesque.
Kuznetskaya Sloboda on the high bank of the Neglinnaya River - Neglinnaya Upper - appeared in the 12th century, but its heyday came only at the end of the 15th, when the Cannon Yard was built in the vicinity, and the Moscow prince Ivan III ordered to settle in it blacksmiths and grooms who served new production. At the turn of the 15th-16th centuries, Novgorod and Pskov were annexed to the Moscow principality, and craftsmen of various professions from these cities were moved to the Neglinny Upper.
In 1737, the street burned out during the Trinity fire, but rather quickly new buildings were built on it, in which foreign shops began to be located. Gradually, the street turned into the abode of foreign trade: the French showed particular zeal, opening fashion and haberdashery shops here, thanks to which Kuznetsky Most became the main shopping street in Moscow. During World War II and the fire of 1812, it practically did not suffer from the fire, since the French guard took over the protection of the business of compatriots. After the war, trade flourished again, and many fashionable shops were opened on it (almost all of them were foreign, most of them were French). The abundance of foreign shops made Kuznetsky Most the most fashionable and aristocratic street in Moscow, which it remained until the 1917 Revolution.
During the Soviet era, the street lost part of the historical buildings, many buildings were rebuilt, and the street gradually took on a modern look.
After the reconstruction carried out in 2012, the Kuznetsky Most section from Bolshaya Dmitrovka to Rozhdestvenka became pedestrian.
Today Kuznetsky Most Street is a well-maintained pedestrian zone, where city holidays and festivals are often held.
Despite the losses of the Soviet years, a large number of architectural monuments have been preserved on it: tenement houses, partially preserved city estates and passages. Among them are famous Moscow sights: the building of the Moscow International Trade Bank, Khomyakov's trading house and others.

What once was close, now seems far.
Our landscape is dotted with spaces for birds. For those who stay, for those who stop and fly away.
Lakes, rivers and ponds, weave between the crops, fields, houses, businesses and malls.
Prime land for those who delight our lives with colour, flight and call.
I often wonder around the lake with my daughter. It is full of life and now, with leaves that fall.
In the time I had to lie in bed and rest, friends have been to ICU, two came home, one was laid to rest. RIP my friend.
Yet, I am still here to see the season change, to be with the people I love and savour the day. So I count myself blessed to still be here to share with you all, before it's time to rest.
Thanks to everyone for the love and support :-)
It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the run
No time to sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again
And I've got such a long way to go (such a long way to go)
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind

The gate is meant to close the driveway to the farm and the gate is open :-) actually has nothing to do with the tulip field, but I thought it was nice to take a picture of it.
Thanks for all the nice comments, it is much appreciated

I was so excited to stroll through the yard and see flowers starting to bloom! Spring is finally showing up! I brought a couple of sprigs in to enjoy inside as it is still cold out.
Manarola is a small town, a frazione of the comune of Riomaggiore, in the province of La Spezia, Liguria, northern Italy. It is the second-smallest of the famous Cinque Terre towns frequented by tourists, with a population of 353. We spent there beautiful day in September 2018.
Or is it??? My smile is my smile but lately it has been a big mask to hide RL pain from really stressful event outside of SL. Sadly someone anonymously posted to a notorious website which deals with gossip about SL. I was the target of this person, I use that term loosely, stating my Flickr account was f***ing boring and I should learn how to use poses and other hurtful terms. I started this account as an escape and therapy from the very long lockdowns my home city of Melbourne Australia had to endure. I have learnt many techniques over the past 2 years of posting every day. Clearly that wasn't good enough for this anonymous critic. Sadly this critique has made me feel suicidal and not wanting to continue with this. I just hope that anonymous poster is happy, because I am not.
