A tattered Euphorbia welcomes the spring in my garden. A stalwart survivor of winter.

All is well day after the snow, the sun melted all the snow from the feeder and my little friends were able to get some much needed food.

I've been taking some mobile artistry courses and this is the result of work done on the ipad. I'm really amazed at how much these apps can do! Also, the original photo was taken with a wonderful black and white camera app called Lenka--I highly recommend it. Be sure to check out the apps Glitché and Matter. This was an abandoned church for sale in a very small Texas town.

This view of the leaning tree is approaching West House Farm on the Nidderdale Way between How Stean Gorge and Ramsgill

To reach this point you pass How Stean Gorge which is worth visiting. How Stean Gorge is a limestone gorge in Nidderdale in North Yorkshire, England. It forms a unit of the Upper Nidderdale Site of Special Scientific Interest. The gorge lies between the villages of Stean and Lofthouse and extends for about a kilometre along the course of How Stean Beck, a tributary of the River Nidd.

Southbank House, the only surviving part of the Doulton Pottery complex in Lambeth, south London. Tucked away behind the Albert Embankment, this Grade II Listed Building was probably designed by Robert Stark Wilkinson (1844-1936; see Brodie 993); but Wilkinson has different initials in different sources, and other architects are also mentioned, namely F. W. Tarring, and the partnership of Waring & Nicholson. It was built in 1876-78, of red brick with polychromy, and is boldly ornamented at every point with pink and sandy-coloured terracotta dressings. It stands at the junction of Lambeth High Street and Black Prince Road, SE11.

The building housed the pottery's museum and art school (Dixon and Muthesius 135). Although it is described in the listing text as "long," with two bays each side of the corner bay, its height is more striking, since it has five storeys, as well as a basement and attic. The main entrance at the angle is quite narrow, but has a fine tympanum relief by Doulton's then chief designer, George Tinworth, suggesting the purpose of the building — to display Doulton's already well-established, proud tradition. The pottery was founded in 1815, just a stone's throw away in Vauxhall Walk (see Cherry and Pevsner 367).

I already said goodbye.

Two weeks ago my Father passed away from dementia, today was his funeral, I chose to not attend, as we have been estranged for 32 years. Myself and my siblings had a very traumatic childhood because of this man, he was abusive to us all, including my Mum, and we were shown very little love from both parents due to the way he had conditioned her. We spent a large part of our childhood visiting my Mum in a mental hospital, and my older brother pretty much brought us up. I walked away from my Father when my Mum finally divorced him when I was 18. Trying to be a part of his life was too painful, he didn’t seem to care about us. To others he was a wonderful man and would do anything for anyone, but never his own family, a wife and 5 children. I grew up being told I was thick, which did nothing for my self esteem and affected my adult life hugely.

I have been in two minds as to whether to post about this on here for the last two weeks, I am not grieving him, I am grieving for my lost childhood. I have set this to disable the comments, as I am just putting this here so I have a record of it on my blog, and need to move on from this after today, and I don’t want anyone to feel sorry as I am ok, just a very surreal time, and the end of an era, after losing my Mum to cancer in November 2020.

Today we went to Butterfly world as a distraction, and also because it was too cold and wet to shoot outdoors. We had a lovely day.

The crocuses were taken in our garden a few days ago during the cold snap. They survived the storm, and they continue to bloom. ❤️

Much love to you all, dear Flickr friends.

A delicate flower trying to survive at the edge of the

Dettifoss , the most powerful waterfall in Europe.

From 'Monastic Ireland': One of the most impressive surviving Franciscan friaries in Ireland, Ross Errilly is located 2km North West of the Galway village of Headford. It was founded at some point between the mid-fourteenth and late fifteenth centuries. It’s two large chapels or ‘transepts’ more than double the space of the nave, while the two-storey domestic buildings are set around both a cloister and an outer court. The domestic buildings are particularly well-preserved due to the continued use of the friary into the eighteenth century. This gives visitors a great sense of the unfolding of the friars’ everyday life around the cloister and outer court: in the west range of the outer court is the kitchen, where there is a large fireplace with an oven, beside a deep circular stone pit, a fish tank; the refectory is located in the eastern range of the outer court, with the lector’s desk at the northwest corner of the room; various staircases led to the friars’ dormitories in the upper floors. In the church, the multiple chapels and secondary altars in the nave and its ‘double transept’, the gallery used as a preaching platform, the tomb niches, are all features associated with the devotions and religious practice of the laity, suggesting that, despite its seemingly remote foundation in a very rural landscape, the friary and the friars served the pastoral and spiritual needs of a local population important enough to fund the construction and maintenance of these structures.

Taken inside Joshua Tree National Park on one of the hikes we did. I rarely use this type of post processing but I really enjoyed the way it came across for this subject matter. What do you think? Yay or Nay?

Sometimes, in a barren moorland, you come across a single tree.

Usually, they're stunted little fellas, but they have to be tough to survive in the windblown conditions.

Especially here, by the sea.

So that makes them special.

Right?

Abbey "Ten Duinen"

Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Ten Duinen, short Duinenabdij, was an abbey on the Belgian coast in Koksijde. The abbey joined the Order of Cîteaux in 1138 and was abolished in 1796, meanwhile in Bruges. The motto of the abbey was Fac necessitate virtutem; Make a virtue of necessity.

An old limb stretched his fingers upwards rustling hints of a faded autumn white it touched the others around him. A creation of wild confusion competing for the light while lush green layers cover the grey nurturing the aging limb. It will survive another spring. - Lynn Reket.

Well we survived the big shake here in Nor Cal. Two people died unfortunately as a results and much damage throughout the county.

Humboldt is a large county with a small population of about 85,000.

We were without power for about 18 hrs but other than that all is good with the home. I am surprised that we got the power back so soon.

Saw the Ball drop at Times Square at Regi's Bash. I woke up and everyone was gone.

You survived hundreds of years of storms and winters, ages of desolations and floods. You lived through the history even before somebody had wrote it down. And then, one ordinary morning, an ordinary man came and you're gone. It took him only few minutes to kill you. Do you think he felt anything?
