The Peruvian Lilies from my Christmas flowers.
If you have any of the Lily family of flowers in your house and also have a cat(s) beware. They are highly toxic / lethal to cats and they only need to ingest a tiny amount to kill them.
Better viewed large, and thank you for your favourites. :)

It is found in the high Andes at altitudes of 3,500 - 5,500 meters. That they can live at more than 5,000 m is probably due to their super fine wool coat, which they wear like an insulating layer.
Vicunas have the finest animal hair ever! Their fibers are even finer than silk, making their wool the most expensive processing material in the clothing industry
I am spending the next few days in the Cusco, Machu Picchu area of Peru. It was a very long day flying yesterday and adapting to 16 hrs difference from Australia. Today, we flew to Cusco, climbed from 3,400m to 3,800m to the village of Chincheros for Incan handicrafts before descending to the city of Urumbamba for overnight. The high altitudes are affecting me a bit, but it is tolerable so long as one goes gently and drinks lots of water.
Day 18 of 31. Though it felt like Day 17 was extra long due to time zone changes.

We were quite surprised to know that close to Lima, the capital city of Peru was a desert town of Ica. This desert has a small oasis call Huacachina. Though full of tourists, foreign and local, we spent a couple of fun days here. Climbing up the sand dunes and sand boarding down.
The Peruvian pelican (Pelecanus thagus) is a member of the pelican family. It lives on the west coast of South America, breeding in loose colonies from about 33.5° in central Chile to Piura in northern Peru, and occurring as a visitor in southern Chile and Ecuador.[2]
Beginnings. A few days ago I received an unexpected gift. A Russian Helios 44-M lens, dating from 1979. You probably know I am a great fan of the 44-2, so I am delighted to be able to add the new lens to my love affair with Russian Helios lenses ;o)
This is my very first shot with the 44-M lens, mounted on the Sony NEX-7 camera. Some small Peruvian lily flowers resting on a glass base, and slightly overhanging it too! Well, I was impatient to see what the lens could do!
With many, many thanks to jesse1dog with his inspired exploration of all manner of lenses and what they can offer the adventurous and curious photographer!!
HBW! ;o)

Cusco - Machu Picchu - World Heritage

Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel situated on a mountain ridge 2,430 metres above sea level. It is located in the Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, Machupicchu District in Peru above the Sacred Valley, which is 80 kilometres northwest of Cuzco and through which the Urubamba River flows.
Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). Often mistakenly referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas" (a title more accurately applied to Vilcabamba), it is the most familiar icon of Inca civilization. The Incas built the estate around 1450 but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known locally, it was not known to the Spanish during the colonial period and remained unknown to the outside world until American historian Hiram Bingham brought it to international attention in 1911.
Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls. Its three primary structures are the Inti Watana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows. Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to give tourists a better idea of how they originally appeared.By 1976, thirty percent of Machu Picchu had been restored and restoration continues.
Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historic Sanctuary in 1981 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a worldwide Internet poll.
The Peruvian Hairless Dog is an ancient breed. Although it is often perceived to be an Incan dog because it is known to have been kept during the Inca Empire, they were also kept as pets in pre-Inca cultures from the Peruvian coastal zone. Depictions of Peruvian hairless dogs appear around 750 A.D. on Moche ceramic vessels and continue in later Andean ceramic traditions.
I saw this dog resting on a street in Aguas Calientes.
