From a distance, the orange Yarrow flowers were a soft blur of warmth in the garden. Upon much closer examination, one could appreciate the fact that 15-40 tiny flowers were clustered together on a stalk.
Last week I came back from a fishing trip in Ireland. We had good days with beer, wine and we tried some Irish whiskey. I bought myself a few small bottles (5 cl) Irish whiskey as a souvenir to remember these great days.
While cooking breakfast I noticed the jagged membrane of my egg. I also shot a portion of an amethyst geode but felt that this was perfectly jagged.

大徳寺 龍源院 方丈北庭 龍吟庭 室町/枯山水
Ryogintei Garden 龍吟庭
Constructed during the Muromachi Period.(1336-1573),this Karesansui ( dry landscape ) garden depicts Mt.Sumeru** ,which is believed to lie at the centre of the Buddhist universe.This garden is the oldest in the Daitokuji Temple,and is a famous example of true Zen temple garden.
The garden consists of a three formations of sacred rocks ,with the one protruding in the centre representing.
Mt.Sumeru,and the moss around it representing the vast oceans.
Here is how the Buddhist scriptures describe Mt.Sumeru.” Our universe is made up of nine mountains and eight oeans,and the one in the centre is called Mt.Sumeru.Its height and depth is said to be 80,000 yojanas*, a distance we cannot measure.This is absolute humanity that we all innately possess,and the original form which no one can violate.”
The Ryogentei Garden depicts this teaching, and discovering this on one’s own in Zen enlightenment.

** Mt.Sumeru ( Mt.Meru ) ( Japanese : 須弥山syumi-sen)
Mount Meru is a sacred mountain with five peaks in Hindu, Jain and Buddhist cosmology and is considered to be the center of all the physical, metaphysical and spiritual universes.
Meru (Sanskrit: मेरु), also called Sumeru (Sanskrit) or Sineru (Pāli) (Tibetan: ཪི་རྒྱལ་པོ་རི་རབ་), to which can be added the approbatory prefix su-, resulting in the meaning "excellent Meru" or "wonderful Meru" and Mahameru i.e. "Great Meru" (Chinese: 須彌山 Xumi Shan; Pāli Neru;).
Many famous Hindu and similar Jain as well as Buddhist temples have been built as symbolic representations of this mountain. The highest point (the finial bud) on the pyatthat, a Burmese-style multi-tiered roof, represents Mount Meru.

Vuelvo al macro con energias renovadas. He recuperado por un precio irrisorio un duplicador macro Foca hr7 que me convierte el 50mm 1.8 en un 100mm 2.8 con macro 1:1
Esto es una primera prueba para ver si funciona y ni mucho menos es 1:1. Creo que incluso es de mejor calidad que el que tenia vivitar. Por 25 lereles :-)
Creo que el próximo articulo del fotoblog lo documentaré. Darme una semana y subiré un analisis del parato. Lo encontrareis aquí: xd-nova-imatge-disseny.blogspot.com/
Die Wirtschaftswege sind Teil der Fahrrad Sturktur für die das Münsterland weit über seine Grenzen hinaus bekannt ist. Natürlich werden auch die Wirtschaftswege im Hinterland von Enniger gerne von Fahrradfahrern genutzt. Bei meinem Spaziergang wurde ich von einem Fahrrad fahrenden Vater mit Anhänger und Hund überholt. Training für den Vater und den Hund und Vergnügen für den Nachwuchs im Anhänger. So kommt jeder auf seine Kosten.

The farm roads are part of the bicycle structure for which Münsterland is known far beyond its borders. Of course, the farm roads in the hinterland of Enniger are also often used by cyclists. During my walk I was overtaken by a father riding a bicycle with a trailer and a dog. Training for the father and the dog and fun for the offspring in the trailer. So everyone gets their money's worth.

Oui, je sais, c'est horrible!La nature est parfois cruelle!Mais après une petite recherche, c'est fort intéressant cette histoire;)EN gros, j'ai trouvé hier cette pauvre mouche.Une mouche morte en train de se cristalliser.Visiblement parasitée par un champignon portant le joli nom de Entomophthora muscae.Ce champignon parasite les mouches, "force" la mouche à aller se percher sur un point en hauteur, à écarter les ailes puis il la tue en lachant les spores, spores qui grâce à ce stratagème ont une chance de dispersion maximale. Affreux non?La nature est incroyable et parfois cruelle.
En voulant tourner ensuite la fleur, le corps est parti...Ne laissant plus que la tête.
Le champignon tueur est utilisé comme insecticide naturel.
En arribar a la Playa de Portizuelo, i veient per on sortia el sol vaig anar quasi de seguida cap a la part de darrere de la “màscara” perquè sabia que podria fer el sol estrellat, certament crec que es veu molt millor des de l’altre costat, però crec que el punt aquest del sol fa que sigui una foto que val la pena. Normalment pel sol estrellat no poso la f tan petita, no cal perquè surti amb els rajos, però en aquest cas volia veure si aconseguia el sol molt estrellat, i crec que aquest objectiu el fa molt maco.

Rock Gardens :
Rock Gardens ,designated spot of scenic beauty.There are two rock gardens,the Kokyu Garden and the Hojo Garden,both designated as objects of scenic beauty.The Kokyu Gaden ,which surrounds the Kokyu-An (Hermitage) is a typical Zen-style rock garden attributed to Murata Juko(1442-1502)the founder of ceremonial tea art.The Hojo garden is another typical rock garden from early Edo period attributed to three distinguished designers of the time,Shokado,Sagawada Kiroku(Kodak) and Ishikswa Johan.The percuilar rocks standing I the garden are assumed to symbolize the sixteen disciples of Buddha distorting themselves,steep mountains with deep valleys,and a torrential water-fall descending in two steps to flow through a number of rock-works.The massive rocks and their exquisite layout should be considered a masterpiece of the rock gardens built in the early Edo period.
