Here's one from a remarkable evening hike taken from the summit of Beinn na Lap in March 2018. It was particularly cold but as can be seen the views were out of this world.
Although I had the DSLR with me, at this point I hadn't mastered the photo-stitch process so this was a panorama taken one the iPhone.

It's been a while since I've seen the wolves. Today, they were playing enthusiastically. This one stopped in the pond for a drink.

La fuente de San Isidro se encuentra adosada a la cara norte de la ermita y está rodeada de un pequeño jardín con parterres y arbolado.
La fuente consta de un vaso y un mural adosado a la fachada de la ermita, compuesto a su vez por varios elementos: tres lápidas de mármol blanco con diversas inscripciones. En la parte superior, existe un relieve en estuco pintado que representa el milagro de la fuente. El mural está rodeado por un marco de granito.
------------------------------
Entre las inscripciones se puede leer el verso de Lope de Vega:
Bebe Iván dulce cristal
e Isidro lágrimas bebe,
Dura la fuente, a quien debe
Madrid salud celestial.
Pierde el río su caudal,
con estar juntos los dos,
y ella, perenne por vos,
dice que milagro fue
que como es fuente de fe,
no puede faltarle Dios

El manantial (o quizás pozo) data del siglo XII, del que ya tienen noticias de sus aguas milagrosas.
A esta fuente acudió para curarse bebiendo sus aguas la madre de Felipe II y mujer de Carlos V.
La tradición popular atribuye uno de los milagros de San Isidro a este pozo, creado para calmar la sed de su amo: Iván de Vargas durante una calurosa tarde de verano.
El manantial fue creado espontáneamente al clavar su aguijada en el suelo, según reza la creencia popular.
La romería asociada al santo, anterior a la construcción de la ermita, ya consistía en ir a beber el agua milagrosa que brotaba de la fuente.
Tras este viaje romero de comienzo de la primavera, los madrileños se explayaban a lo largo de la pradera cercana.
El cuidado del manantial pronto corre a cargo del Ayuntamiento de Madrid desde el siglo XVI, aunque desde sus inicios se intentó que los gastos corrieran a cargo del Consejo Real de Castilla.
La fuente es anterior a la ermita. La tradición hizo pronto que se celebrara la romería el 15 de mayo, siendo habitual besar las reliquias del santo y beber el agua que sale del manantial.
La fuente tiene una lápida en la que figura la siguiente inscripción:
«O ahijada tan divina como el milagro enseña / pues sacas agua de peña, milagrosa y cristalina, / el labio al raudal inclina y bebe de su dulzura. / Que San Isidro asegura que si con fe bebieres / Y calentura trujeres volverás sin calentura».

Breakfast is Pumpkin's favorite time to join us. Sometimes it gets frustrating because he makes it difficult to eat. He doesn't want the food, he just wants to be involved in, you know, everything. (Unless it's strawberries, or select fruit, then he will sniff.)

I happened to have a D750 and a 60mm Micro-Nikkor in my hand when Bruce decided to hop onto my lap to see what I was up to...

Tried to make use of some nice sharp low sunlight on my artfully neglected back fence for some bean pole shadows and accidently discovered that from an angle the shadows break up over the vertical lapping. Did some with and without the solid poles in shot but preferred the extra chaos/confusion of some lines breaking and some not

Rain, snow or shine, we start our work day with one lap around our crescent. Followed by a lunchtime walk, and usually one after dinner. A typical day like this logs some 8-10 km of walking... What else can we do in lockdown, but enjoy peace and tranquility away from the keyboard.

Today I thought I'd focus on my lavender plants and see what the bees were up to... they were rather busy!
This building had lower ceilings, more windows and worse drainage than the others. But here too, the equipment was stripped away, making it hard to guess what purpose the space served.
The train rides at the Colorado Railroad Museum are not anything close to long distance, but they make the most of the space they have. The narrow gauge loop around their property is a nice little trip, featuring a short but steep grade. The trains usually make 4 circuits around the loop at a time. RGS #20 is seen looping around the back of the museum on lap 3.
