Uno stormo di marangoni minori sosta su alberi spogli di robinia nella Valle Sparasera, della Laguna nord di Venezia. Sembrano singolari decorazioni, come stracci neri appesi ad asciugare dopo un improbabile bucato. In realtà si tratta di frutti, di frutti viventi della stessa Laguna. E' lei, infatti, ad alimentarli quotidianamente e dunque loro ne sono semplicemente un prodotto, vivente, alato, bellissimo, come i suoi mille e mille altri ..... ..
I allà era ell, amb menjar pel petit que hi havia dins del niu... No m'hi vaig acostar més, no volia estorbar-lo.

Today I saw a picture from an Uzbekistan city, which reminded me I still have lots of nice pictures from that part of the world that I never posted. Many are from older buildings, that are stunning pieces of architecture, but this one is a recent building (opened in 2014) that shows the people in Uzbekistan are still very talented when it comes to making magnificent mosques.
Earlier I posted a fragment (the inner dome www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/49683223038/in/album-...), this is the building from the outside.
20 September 2019 I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.
……Went for the Circus side of the theme in this weeks Smile on Saturday, the chair is a creation by the Daughter in Law from a few Christmases ago - made from a top off a bottle of Bubbly, balancing it was a challenge but not insurmountable! The Elephant came from Jill’s moms but needed a pair of Tusks - unlikely to be Ivory poachers, however a few minutes with a Crochet needle (also Jill’s moms) I fashioned a new pair for him! The Ball is a remnant from when our Grandson was little. And finally, the Big Top backdrop is the curtain we hang over the front door to keep the direct sun off it. Indeed it was natural sunlight here, ‘Click’ & hey presto - Smile On Saturday, well after some minor edits just in Lightroom only. Alan:-) HSoS……

Seal Lake, Sauvie Island.18 April 2021.
Musky carefully waded out into the lake in order to get a closer look at a Greater Yellowlegs. He doesn't swim much anymore, and is not that interested in following the common ducks. But the Yellowlegs were a new sighting for his life list and he was very curious about and intent on them.

“Be the kind of person who dares to face life's challenges and overcome them rather than dodging them.”
~Roy T. Bennett~
It’s hard to stay strong when you feel like giving up. It feels like your world is crumbling down around you, and there is no option out. The reason why we think like this is because we forget about the big picture. We focus on the minor things and not the major things that are important in our life.
Every day is a struggle if you have a negative mindset, when you are wallowing in pity and misery it is hard to see the good and the true potential that is inside of you....
Take the challenge! Always!
