The Klein Furkahorn (3,026 m) is a mountain of the Urner Alps, overlooking the Furka Pass on the border between the Swiss cantons of Valais and Uri. It lies near the southern end of the Galenstock-Gross Furkahorn chain, east of the Rhone Glacier.
From the Furka Pass a trail leads to its summit.
Rhône Glacier
Valley glacier
Location Valais, Switzerland
The Rhône Glacier (German: Rhonegletscher/ Valais German: "Rottengletscher") is a glacier in the Swiss Alps and the source of the river Rhône and one of the primary contributors to Lake Geneva in the far eastern end of the Swiss canton of Valais. Because the Glacier is located close to the Furka Pass road it is easily accessible.
Der Rhonegletscher (selten auch Rottengletscher genannt) ist ein Talgletscher im Quellgebiet der Rhone im äussersten Nordosten des Kantons Wallis in den Zentralalpen der Schweiz. Er ist knapp acht Kilometer lang, weist eine durchschnittliche Breite von ungefähr zwei Kilometer auf und bedeckt eine Fläche von ungefähr 16 km². Der Rhonegletscher war vor allem im 19. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts aufgrund seiner damals noch weit ins Tal bei Gletsch hinunter reichenden Zunge eine grosse Touristenattraktion. Er schmilzt seit der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts kontinuierlich. Möglicherweise wird er bis ins Jahr 2100 beinahe vollständig verschwunden sein.
Le glacier du Rhône (Rhonegletscher ou Rottengletscher en allemand) se trouve à l'extrémité nord-est du canton du Valais en Suisse. Il donne naissance au Rhône, en amont de Gletsch, qui s'écoule ensuite dans la vallée de Conches.
Le glacier s'étend sur 8 kilomètres et atteint une largeur d'un peu plus de 1 000 mètres. Sa superficie est de 17 km2. Comme la plupart des glaciers alpins, il a passablement reculé depuis le milieu du xixe siècle. Il est facilement accessible via la route du col de la Furka. Une galerie creusée dans la glace permet de visiter l'intérieur du glacier.
After climbing all the way to the top of the nest tree, he must have been tuckered out with his efforts. Shortly after Mom flew in and gave lots of loving snuggles and preening, then flew off only to return with another reward for his accomplishment, she gave him a small rodent which he gulped down pretty quick! :)

Nuturing the next generation has always been one of the most important things through human history. Without nurturing the next generation to pass the knowledge on, there would have been no advances or improvements in time.

Monarch Butterfly
Wildflowers (Sawtooth sunflower) in the Grasslands Nature Preserve
Monarchs taste with their feet. They have sensors in their feet that allow them to taste the objects they land on. This helps them to know when nectar is present and choose the right plant to lay their eggs on. They carry the pollen from plant to plant which aids plant reproduction. This process is called ‘Pollination’. Butterflies are the second largest pollinators in the world, after Bees!

So hands are so much more than just tools in the every day things we do. You often will hear people say.. "I talk a lot with my hands" I am one of those people so imagine my limitations in SL where I can't do that per say...
Hands communicate things words can not, such as them trembling in fear. Hands also in some cultures are sacred: the open palm symbolizes peace, prayer and even surrender.
Hands can be intimate our souls need this form of intimacy. It can be a handshake, a caress or as in this photo where the hands show a form of trust and loving embrace.
Our hands build, nuture and heal. They can create connections through doing arts or again in the case of a simple handshake.
Thank you to ~ Antony~ for helping me out with this one. Truly a friend I can lean on and trust. ♥
