Salutations japonaises aux cerisiers en fleurs de Berlin
Elles sont toujours un aimant pour les gens au printemps, elles fleurissent en grand nombre à Berlin et à Teltow sur l'ancienne bande frontalière de l'ancienne RDA.
Je vous souhaite de passer un bon moment, merci de votre visite.

Pedestrian bridges cross Las Vegas Blvd, and give great views. However, the plexiglass that is too high to photograph over made some interesting reflections of the Wynn, Encore and Palazzo hotel signs that were actually behind us.
There's no rule saying you can't dress to impress even when nobody is around, is there? Visit the blog - readmeri.wordpress.com/2020/04/13/sunset-strip/
This is a sequence of shots that i blended together of an egret coming in for a landing at the top of this tall tree.
Luzzus are essentially traditional Maltese fishing boats. They are typically painted in traditional bright colours including blue,
yellow, red and green. You can normally spot a rather large number of luzzus in Malta’s seaside villages.
There is quite a lot of superstition surrounding the luzzu, the most prominent of them all being the painted or engraved pair of eyes on the front of the boat. These eyes are believed to be a modern survival of an old Phoenician tradition, and are normally referred to as the Eye of Orisis, or the Eye of Horus – the Phoenicians’ god of protection from evil. They are a symbol of protection and good health, and are believed to protect the fishermen from any harm while they are out at sea.
In addition to this, luzzus are normally inherited from a person’s father and grandfather. However, although the exact colours of each luzzu vary from one another, the colours of each luzzu are normally kept exactly the same due to superstitious belief. Therefore, when the old paint is completely stripped off the boat every five years, in order for the fisherman to closely inspect his boat for anything that needs to be replaced, the boat is then re-painted in exactly the same colours that the person’s father and grandfather had used.

Painted Lady Butterfly: -
This species is a migrant to our shores and, in some years, the migration can be spectacular. The most-recent spectacle, in 2009, is considered to be one of the greatest migrations ever, with sightings from all over the British Isles that are definitely on a par with previous cardui years.
This species originates from north Africa, and it has been suggested that the urge to migrate is triggered when an individual encounters a certain density of its own kind within a given area. This theory makes perfect sense, since this species can occur in high densities that result in food plants being stripped bare on occasion with many larvae perishing as a result.
Unfortunately, this species is unable to survive our winter in any stage. This is a real shame, for not only does this species often arrive in large numbers, but is a welcome sight as it nectars in gardens throughout the British Isles in late summer. This butterfly has a strong flight and can be found anywhere in the British Isles, including Orkney and Shetland. An interesting fact is that this butterfly is the only butterfly species ever to have been recorded from Iceland.

What a 50's vintage Ford Anglia is doing in this scene is beyond me...

What accelerates 0-60 in ~2 seconds, has around 1000hp, and has a price starting at over a lofty 1/2 million? A Ferrari SF90, that's what! Get out your checkbooks, gents!
Not all plug-in hybrids are built for efficiency; some are built for speed. The Ferrari SF90 is one such counterexample, combining a twin-turbo V-8 with a trio of electric motors and a 6.5-kWh battery pack to spit out 986 horsepower in standard trim. The SF90XX models, laser-focused on race-track driving, get an extra 30 horsepower—as if they needed it—awarding the SF90 lineup entry in the four-digit power club. The massive power output goes to all four wheels with the front tires driven electrically. Double-X versions also have a stripped-down interior and other changes in the pursuit of all-out lap time. The standard SF90 is now available only as a convertible called the Spider, with a luxurious cabin lined in leather and featuring an unconventional screen-and-control layout. The XX can still be had in Stradale coupe form or as a Spider. Whichever version of the SF90 you fancy in your wild imaginings, know that the powertrain, aerodynamics, and chassis wizardry come together to make one of the best mid-engine sports cars in the world—Ferrari or otherwise.
The standard SF90 Spider comes packed with enough amenities to make it a satisfying pick, especially if you plan to keep to the street more than a race track. If you want to give this Ferrari a more customized appearance, you can select from a host of upholstery choices and paint hues. There are several different wheel designs, and the list of available upgrades includes carbon-fiber components, a titanium exhaust, a digital rearview mirror, and brake calipers in a variety of colors. Which one to buy? There’s no wrong answer.
With the SF90, power comes from a massively powerful V-8 and three electric motors. The twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 generates a mighty 769 horsepower on its own, and the trio of electric motors provides an additional 217 horsepower. In the end, the gas/electric powertrain generates a net output of 986 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. Upgrading to the SF90 XX unlocks 30 more horsepower for a total of 1016 hp and adds a feature Ferrari calls Extra Boost, which temporarily increases power output to help regain speed when exiting a corner. Power is sent to all four wheels, making this the first mid-engine Ferrari with all-wheel drive. An eight-speed automatic transmission oversees the proceedings. Different driving modes allow you to tailor the car's handling to suit your preferences. Use the mode selector to dial up EV Only, Hybrid, Performance, or, last but not least, Qualify—a setting that allows you to fully exploit the car's performance capabilities.

The strip of field which always seems to be left fallow, and always full of wild flowers too. more rain again today.
Looks like we have a severe weather warning in place, big storm Francis with winds of 70MPH and heave rain, it may pass North of my location in Sussex but we shall see. Storms in summer sounds crazy so hold onto your hats .
Who knew that the simple parking lot of a strip mall could provide the backdrop for the magnificent panorama of a summer-storm sunset?

The Maasai giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi), also called Kilimanjaro giraffe, is the largest subspecies of giraffe. It is native to East Africa. The Masai giraffe can be found in central and southern Kenya and in Tanzania.
It has distinctive, irregular, jagged, star-like blotches that extend to the hooves. A median forehead lump is usually present in bulls.
The giraffe's prehensile tongue is about 45 cm (18 in) long. It is purplish-black in colour, perhaps to protect against sunburn, and is useful for grasping foliage, as well as for grooming and cleaning the animal's nose. The upper lip of the giraffe is also prehensile and useful when foraging and is covered in hair to protect against thorns. The tongue and inside of the mouth are covered in papillae.
This handsome Giraffe was walking along the Acacia Thorn Trees and stripping the bark off the trees and eating it. Photographed on a late evening game drive in the Crater Lake Sanctuary, Naivasha, Kenya.
Low morning sun at Bottle Alley in Hastings, East Sussex, UK. Fellow photographer Roff Smith was just setting up for a morning shoot having arrived by bike in his customary fashion. I took the opportunity to use him as a focal point and to try to add some depth to the shot. Canon EOS 6D & EF 28-80mm f/2.8-4.0L. In Explore 30/03/2022
