Back in August I found some walnuts on the ground beneath a walnut tree. I've let them mature in the garage and after removing the green pulpy outer layer, I cracked one open today to see what was inside. Surprise surprise, a walnut!!

This is another fence that has an open side. I’m sure they train the horses or cows not to go out of the yard. Otherwise, the fence would be useless.

Ready for a nice song about open landscapes ? : )

I'm open to everything. When you start to criticize the times you live in, your time is over.

[Karl Lagerfeld]

 

The ventral (underside) of the Painted Lady is the best for patterns, but for color, topside is best. They often are reluctant to open their wings very much, but this one cooperated nicely. Mount Shasta, California

Rainbow bee-eaters are always watching for flying insects, and can spot a potential meal up to 45 metres away. Once it spots an insect a bee-eater will swoop down from its perch and catch it in its long, slender, black bill and fly back to its perch. Bee-eaters will then knock their prey against their perch to eat it.

Even though rainbow bee-eaters are actually immune to the stings of bees and wasps, upon capturing a bee they will rub the insect's stinger against their perch to remove it, closing their eyes to avoid being squirted with poison from the ruptured poison sac.

Another pano of the imposing Stob Dearg also known as Buachaille Etive Mòr (the great herdsman of Etive) from the A82. The open all year sign is for the Glencoe Mountain Resort, although I would imagine getting there is a challenge at times judging by the snow poles at the side of the road. Such a wonderful part of the world and already looking forward to going back when I'm more mobile.

You know you should surrender

but you can't let go

Our "Lantana Garden" has really started blooming in the past week or so. It started off slowly but almost overnight it started blooming all over the place!

 

So now, all we need are the butterflies, bees, hummingbirds and all the other little thingies that like Lantana to start showing up. And if they have any questions, the garden is now open for business 24/7 for the next few months.

 

Guess we better keep our cameras handy because you just never know who's going to show up!

Amongst our yesterdays are snip-its of our tomorrows

Not always seen, until we research back in those moments in time

Finding truths, like little jewels along side the rubble.

Embracing them in the now and acknowledging them for what they really were.

Open your heart and mind like the wings of a butterfly. See then how high you CAN fly.
