A close-up capture of this new Geum in our garden. A hardy perennial, it flowers every year.
Geums are familiar favourites in herbaceous borders, although they also work well in larger rock gardens, developing into mounds of neat, dense foliage. They need a little space for their flowers, which tend to be produced on long, spreading stems.
Geum ‘Savanna Sunset’ is acompact clump-forming perennial to 45cm tall with hairy, mid-green toothed and lobed basal leaves. Reddish stems bear coppery-red flower buds that open to semi-double, lightly-frilled pale apricot flowers deeping to coppery apricot in the centre, from late spring to summer

Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis ist eine in den Jahren 1627 bis 1641 erbaute Pfarrkirche in der Rue St. Antoine in Paris im 4. Arrondissement. Ihr Stil entspricht dem der Jesuitenkirchen. Die Kirche erinnert stark an ihr Vorbild Il Gesù, doch es mischen sich auch viele Elemente der französischen Bautradition hinein, etwa die mit 60 m recht hohe Kuppel. Die Fassade ist in ihrem Aufbau und ihrer Verziertheit stark vom italienischen Baustil beeinflusst.

Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis is a parish church built between 1627 and 1641 on Rue St. Antoine in Paris in the 4th arrondissement. Their style corresponds to that of the Jesuit churches. The church is strongly reminiscent of its model Il Gesù, but many elements of the French architectural tradition are also mixed in, such as the dome, which is quite high at 60 m. The structure and decoration of the facade is strongly influenced by the Italian architectural style.
shot with lensbaby single glass optic and creative aperture disc, own texture added. Originally a glass of wine (nearly empty), attempting to catch the late afternoon sun, first attempt......
Cables from a telephone pole (out of the frame to the left) and a plant pot on a brick pillar. The sun was positioned just where the cables came away from the pole.
The night we spent camping at the Grand Canyon National Park was a cold one, and waking up + packing everything before dawn required some real motivation, but all this melted away when the first sun rays hit the canyon, revealing this amazing scenery. We were spellbound.

This tree frog was photographed at night. Our guide held a spotlight up to show the frog on a leaf. The only amphibians on the island of Madagascar are frogs, no salamander, newts, etc. The island has up to 311 species of frogs most of them endemic to the island.
Boophis madagascariensis is a species of frog in the Mantellidae family. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, and heavily degraded former forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Boophis is the only genus in the mantellid frog subfamily Boophinae. They show typical 'tree frog' traits, and are a good example of convergent evolution with morphologically similar species in the families Hylidae and Rhacophoridae, among others. This genus can only be found on Madagascar and Mayotte Island (Comoros).
Many species of Boophis have almost translucent skin, allowing bones and internal organs to be observed as in the unrelated glass frogs (Centrolenidae) of the tropical Americas. This has led to the vernacular name skeleton frogs for the present genus.
The genus has presently nearly 80 species; new ones are being described every few months on average. – Wikipedia
saw this amazing sunset on my roadtrip on Lofoten Islands in norway. The capture was taken at the golden hour near Henningsvaer. The sunrays were pushed with Photoshop.
The clouds are clearly coming in from the right, this was the last shaft of sunlight I saw, had to be a quick capture, not ideally composed but nice to capture all the same
