Beryl is trying to recreate the portal she used to go back in the past.

This picture is an introduction picture to my next BJD wich I will get from my boyfriend for Christmass... a new entity will enter the world through this portal... evil or good, we shall know soon

>.< I spent 2 hours to make this and it still doesn't look like I wanted it to look.. but at least it looks better then my previous 5 attempts xD

Just messing around.

No interior das muralhas de Castelo Melhor, em Vila Nova de Foz Côa, inicia-se a Rota das Amendoeiras, um percurso pedestre que revela a identidade do Douro Superior através da agricultura tradicional. O caminho, ladeado por oliveiras e amendoeiras, destaca-se especialmente durante a floração, entre fevereiro e março, atraindo visitantes para o esplendor natural da região. Os muros de pedra seca, testemunhos de técnicas ancestrais de delimitação de propriedades, encontram-se nas encostas xistosas onde esta cultura é predominante. O castelo medieval, erguido para vigiar o vale do Côa, integra-se nesta paisagem cultural rica, marcada pelo socalco e pela intervenção humana ao longo dos séculos. O percurso conecta o património histórico, agrícola e natural, enfatizando a importância da amêndoa e do azeite para a economia local, enquanto promove o turismo sustentável e a preservação das práticas tradicionais na área.

Inside the walls of Castelo Melhor, in Vila Nova de Foz Côa, begins the Almond Tree Route, a walking trail that reveals the identity of the Upper Douro through traditional agriculture. The path, lined with olive and almond trees, is especially striking during flowering season, between February and March, attracting visitors to the region's natural splendor. The dry stone walls, evidence of ancestral techniques for demarcating properties, are found on the schist slopes where this culture is predominant. The medieval castle, built to watch over the Côa valley, blends into this rich cultural landscape, marked by terraces and human intervention over the centuries. The route connects historical, agricultural, and natural heritage, emphasizing the importance of almonds and olive oil to the local economy, while promoting sustainable tourism and the preservation of traditional practices in the area.

First time shooting studio shots of my Chico. As you can see, he's pretty relaxed.

Have a great weekend!

Central Valley, CA

Two weeks before they leave the nest, young ospreys start flapping their wings and trying to get airborne.

Müritz National Park, northern Germany.

Wenn die jungen Fischadler beginnen, mit den Flügeln zu schlagen,macht sich die Mutter langsam auf den Weg nach Afrika. Der Vater füttert noch zwei Wochen weiter, dann fliegt auch er los. Nun müssen die Jungen allein klarkommen, und die lange Reise ins Winterquartier überstehen. Faszinierend, dass alle getrennt fliegen. Das Elternpaar sieht sich auch in Afrika nicht, aber kehrt im Folgejahr im Abstand von nur 1-2 Tagen zum Mecklenburger Nest zurück.

Saturday soccer practice in Newhall Community Park in Concord, California. Mt Diablo is in the background.

Interesting aside: The red team is all wearing masks. The white team is all (or almost all) maskless. It reflects the very mixed responses to Covid in our society.

This morning it was with a Baroque instrument. No adjusters or chin rest, gut strings and a shorter bow. Steep learning curve. It made me feel tired just to watch. Unfortunately this violin is not a 1695 Stradavari, otherwise we'd sell it and both retire.

Serene photos to relax you as you go through this global pandemic. Stay safe and healthy, my friends.

Practicing with lights and depth of field. This is a lot to remember all at once. Also bought my first poses!

Since retiring it has been wonderful to indulge myself with yoga practice. It is my routine to attend at least twice a week.

Our instructor has a perfect soothing voice.

This is the view from my mat at class.

My eldest son, Daniel; now a man. Sadly, the trumpet now gathers dust at home. Once it was a vibrant contribution to the Exeter Children's Orchestra.

looking incredibly sexy wearing YoUnique's item for the Thirsty Event, which opens up on the 15th. Make sure you put this on your list to check out. Those gorgeous wrapped Cleopatra shoes will be available as well. There is a great hud with 10 different color changes and 2 types of sleeves you can choose from ~ as you see am wearing the plain and not the "Strip Me" ones. Kiara will fit most bodies but please try on a demo if not sure as you can see on my Maitreya it looks fantastic! Remember the event does not start till May 15th and will run until June 5th. Enjoy
