The lake continues its attempt to freeze...

I was born today !! Welcome life

My favorite kind of dazzling display and celebration.

 

We American's are celebrating our 240th anniversary as an independent nation today.

Happy Birthday America!

 

Regardless of where you are though may your 4th of July be fun, safe and enjoyable!

  

Here my picture of one of my favorite lakes deep into the wild nature of Switzerland's mountains which I visited 3 months ago.

Hypoxylon fragiferme of in het Nederlands

Roestbruinekogelzwam.

Ze zijn al oud vandaar de donkere kleur.

The beauty of nature.

With help of some friends this damselfy is identified as a Nehalennia speciosa - Pygmy Damselfly or a Chalcolestes viridis.

The forces of nature slowly eroding the stunning Algarve Coast away.

This formation is known locally as the ''Elephant Drinking'' can you see it?

Painting nature, just straight out of the camera ;-))

Enjoy your day!

GAMBIA TOUR feb. 2020

====================

U.K WADERS SEEN IN THE GAMBIA

================================

4th In the series, a real beauty, you can approach these birds much more than in the U.K, but you may not want to with this one, because that sludge is sewage, found at the local treatment plant, as do many other birds.

=======================================

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP, it means such a lot. Am hoping the Government will allow nature reserves and parks to open soon, as I think this would still be safe, maybe keep the hides and information buildings locked up.

Stay strong and safe my friends, you are in my prayers.............

God bless...................................Tomx

Peaceful Bokeh Wednesday

This magnificent flambé had the courtesy to come and forage on our lavenders last week, in fact they were 2 but the other one had lost one of its tails, this one is intact for the moment, I hope they will come again.

 

With a maximum wingspan of 8 cm, the flambé is a cream-colored butterfly with large black stripes. Its tails are black and the tips of its hind wings have blue lunules and red spots. It lives in plains and orchards up to 2000 m between May and August.

 

Thanks a lot dear friends for your visits, kind comments, awards, invites, and faves.

Wish you all a nice week❤️

“Nature’s Goddess”

 

The lace like feathers of the Great Heron during breeding season is one of Mother Nature’s most dramatic scenes in the avian world.

Things that catch your eye on an otherwise dreary day :)

A walk along the oceans shore. The late afternoon world is full of colors, mostly shades of red and gold. The ocean is loud,intense and the power is unmistakable. The wildlife hunts and gains power from the sounds and sights. It is entertainment only nature can provide.`125

It is in the the still silence of nature where one will find true bliss.

Nature is conquering back its space with plants that are rampantly overgrowing the modern age. In the background you can see a third bicycle which is almost covered by plants.

Nature

Nature, mountains, lakes, rivers, flowers, there is nothing so wonderful and close to happiness than to contemplate the places that nature offers us, and in addition to enjoying them, keep those images in my old camera to remember them again when I'm no longer there, where the silence was heard

This is one of the places I go to regularly, it is located in the province of Zamora, and it is a Biosphere Reserve, Parque de las Lagunas de Sanabria.

 

La Naturaleza

La Naturaleza , las montañas, los lagos , los rios , las flores, no hay nada tan maravilloso y cercano a la felicidad que contemplar los parajes que nos brinda la naturaleza, y ademas de disfrutarlos guardar esas imagenes en mi vieja cámara para volver a recordarlos cuando ya no este allí, donde se escuchaba el silencio.

Este es uno de los lugares a los que acudo con asiduidad, se encuentra en la provincia de Zamora, y es Reserva de la Biosfera, Parque de las Lagunas de Sanabria.
