We were camping next to a beautiful meadow, and I took my camera to go sit in it for a bit, waiting for the sun to drop below the horizon. When I went to shoot the sunset, my 400mm decided to focus on this spider building a web! This was nothing my eye could ever have seen. It was so beautifully backlit, made iridescent from the perfect light of the sunset.

One last look at this mystery before moving on to other content. I like this perspective as it shows the building with the vast open fields surrounding it. The branches from the tree also add an interesting touch!
The debate of whether this was a school or a house seems to be 50/50 based on your comments. I'd like to think that potentially it was both. I'll continue to try and find an answer but my research has yielded few results.
Let me know which angle is your favorite!

this young cheetah is the leader of a group of 3 that we found in Mara North Conservancy.
While we were following them they were attacked by 2 lionesses from the River Pride. The cheetahs were of course too fast to be caught but the lionesses kept on chasing them for about 15 minutes. This photo was taken after the attacks and when the 3 youngsters were again together and now this cheetah had to decide where to go now.
Later in the trip I found out that this group of young cheetahs had previously been chased out of the Lemek and Enonkishu Conservancies. These conservancies all have big lion prides and large populations of hyena's.
Very challenging conditions for cheetahs.

there’s a vacancy, next to me
a place bare for entry
carefully, kept empty
a warmth void presently
come to me, poetry
the words lost in sanity
expressed delicately
some sort of potency
built, a ready construct
a house to share the abstract
some sort of comfort, filled absence
the shape takes form in fractures
“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” ~ John Steinbeck
Moving into the season of gray and cold is always bittersweet...
For Slider's Sunday. HSS!!
The host leaves look pretty much the same when they are growing on the plant. But when the fall comes, each one dries in its own gloriously folded and curled fashion.
My Own Little Garden
Grow garden
wild and free
neat and tidy rows
do not define thee.
Borage and cornflowers
feed my bees
while butterflies
rest in the parsley.
Catnip for my feline friends
next to my basil and thyme
Ignore the weeds
if you please
I think my garden is sublime

9 year old Claudia loved hearing and then saying this when the Rialto stop was announced
After dinner I hurried out without a guide, and after noting the four points of the compass, plunged into the labyrinth of this city, which is intersected everywhere by canals but joined together by bridges. The compactness of it all is unimaginable unless one has seen it... I easily found the Canal Grande and its principal bridge, the Ponte Rialto, which is a single arch of white marble. Looking down, I saw the Canal teeming with gondolas and the barges which bring all necessities from the mainland and land at this point to unload.
[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1786]

Last spring, I spotted these delicate little flowers on a neighbourhood walk and wasn't quite sure what they were. After a bit of research, I discovered they're Wild Tulips (Tulipa sylvestris). Not native to my area, I'm quite sure that the homeowner must have planted them as specimen plants. I don't know if they'll overwinter, so it'll be interesting to see if they appear next spring. If you're interested, here's a bit of info on this flower:
"Tulipa sylvestris, the wild tulip[3] or woodland tulip,[4] is a Eurasian and North African species of wild tulip, a plant in the lily family. Its native range extends from Portugal and Morocco to western China, covering most of the Mediterranean and Black Sea Basins, and Central Asia. The species is also cultivated as an ornamental and naturalized in central and northern Europe as well as a few scattered locations in North America.[2][5]"
