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 plant survives the climate and ever-changing weather:-)
I placed rocks around it and am happy to see it return yearly.
A mat-forming species of Dianthus well-suited for use as a small-scale groundcover. Blooms over a long period, the cheery flowers are resting atop a bed of deep green, needle-like foliage. Good soil drainage, year-round, is essential.
Uses
Perfectly sized for rock gardens and border fronts. Cut flowers are long-lasting in fresh bouquets. Perfect for all kinds of containers.
The chapel survived in the middle of the new dam lake that will be created two years after the process of filling the dam lake with water....

En uno de nuestros paseos me encontré con esta pequeña seta que parecía nacer encima de una piedra. Al acercarme comprobé que en realidad crecía en lo que supusimos que sería algún tipo de excremento de un animal. Cualquier sito es bueno para sobrevivir, supongo...
In one of our walks I met this small mushroom that seemed to be born on a stone. While approaching I verified that actually it was growing in what we supposed that it would be some type of excrement of an animal. Any place is good to survive, I suppose...
Grey Heron - Ardea Cinerea
The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is a long-legged predatory wading bird of the heron family, Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but some populations from the more northern parts migrate southwards in autumn. A bird of wetland areas, it can be seen around lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes and on the sea coast. It feeds mostly on aquatic creatures which it catches after standing stationary beside or in the water or stalking its prey through the shallows.
The birds breed colonially in spring in "heronries", usually building their nests high in trees. A clutch of usually three to five bluish-green eggs is laid. Both birds incubate the eggs for a period of about 25 days, and then both feed the chicks, which fledge when seven or eight weeks old. Many juveniles do not survive their first winter, but if they do, they can expect to live for about five years.
In Ancient Egypt, the deity Bennu was depicted as a heron in New Kingdom artwork. In Ancient Rome, the heron was a bird of divination. Roast heron was once a specially-prized dish; when George Neville became Archbishop of York in 1465, four hundred herons were served to the guests.
The grey heron has a slow flight, with its long neck retracted (S-shaped). This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes, and spoonbills, which extend their necks.
Fish, amphibians, small mammals and insects are taken in shallow water with the heron's long bill. It has also been observed catching and killing juvenile birds such as ducklings, and occasionally takes birds up to the size of a water rail. It may stand motionless in the shallows, or on a rock or sandbank beside the water, waiting for prey to come within striking distance. Alternatively, it moves slowly and stealthily through the water with its body less upright than when at rest and its neck curved in an "S". It is able to straighten its neck and strike with its bill very fast.
Small fish are swallowed head first, and larger prey and eels are carried to the shore where they are subdued by being beaten on the ground or stabbed by the bill. They are then swallowed, or have hunks of flesh torn off. For prey such as small mammals and birds or ducklings, the prey is held by the neck and either drowned, suffocated, or killed by having its neck snapped with the heron's beak, before being swallowed whole. The bird regurgitates pellets of indigestible material such as fur, bones and the chitinous remains of insects. The main periods of hunting are around dawn and dusk, but it is also active at other times of day. At night it roosts in trees or on cliffs, where it tends to be gregarious.

I walked over this lovely old bridge to find myself in Gloucestershire, England.
In 1816 Chepstow Bridge was the third largest cast-iron arch road bridge in the world. It is now the largest cast-iron arch road bridge surviving from that period.

Der letzte Sturm hat ihren Schlafbaum zerstört und etwas weiter, in einem anderen Baum, schlafen jetzt nur noch drei Waldohreulen. Sehr traurig ist das. Bis zu 17 Eulen wurden in dem traditionell bewohnten Baum gezählt.
The last storm destroyed their sleeping tree and a little further, in another tree, only three long-eared owls are sleeping now. This is very sad. Up to 17 owls were counted in the traditionally inhabited tree.

"And it's falling apart
Around us now
The room in a spin
I hear the howl of the wind
And the pounding of the rain
And I'd give everything to dream again
There must be more than
Surviving, surviving
Surviving, surviving
Surviving, surviving
And nothing else"

Foggy Morning has this Tree Swallow Fluffed.
Handsome aerialists with deep-blue iridescent backs and clean white fronts, Tree Swallows are a familiar sight in summer fields and wetlands across northern North America. They chase after flying insects with acrobatic twists and turns, their steely blue-green feathers flashing in the sunlight. Tree Swallows nest in tree cavities; they also readily take up residence in nest boxes.
Migrating and wintering Tree Swallows can form enormous flocks numbering in the hundreds of thousands. They gather about an hour before sunset and form a dense cloud above a roost site (such as a cattail marsh or grove of small trees), swirling around like a living tornado. With each pass, more birds drop down until they are all settled on the roost.
Tree Swallows winter farther north than any other American swallows and return to their nesting grounds long before other swallows come back. They can eat plant foods as well as their normal insect prey, which helps them survive the cold snaps and wintry weather of early spring.

I like the fact that this tree seems determined to survive, in conditions that are far from ideal :)
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?

The beautiful leaves will come again, even though the wind and the rain have blown them nearly all away. A Virginia Creeper has covered our lower shed for years and provides beauty in the spring and summer, a lot of work to keep it in check just to find the shed door ! Then the autumn comes and that's when these brilliant colours appear.
Now, the wind and the rain have blown all the beautiful leaves away. But they'll come again in the Spring and I can't wait !
Twelfth Night - The Wind and the Rain
Thanks so much for all your support and friendship everyone. This is for all who've been affected by the recent hurricanes, which wrought such devastation to people and other animals, and of course, to our planet. We will survive and come again !

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.
Tweedledum and Tweedledee are characters in an English nursery rhyme and in Lewis Carroll's 1871 book Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. Their names may have originally come from an epigram written by poet John Byrom. The nursery rhyme has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 19800. The names have since become synonymous in western popular culture slang for any two people who look and act in identical ways, generally in a derogatory context.
The words "Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee" make their first appearance in print as names applied to the composers George Frideric Handel and Giovanni Bononcini in "one of the most celebrated and most frequently quoted (and sometimes misquoted) epigrams", satirising disagreements between Handel and Bononcini, written by John Byrom (1692–1763): in his satire, from 1725. Some say, compar'd to BononciniThat Mynheer Handel's but a NinnyOthers aver, that he to HandelIs scarcely fit to hold a CandleStrange all this Difference should be'Twixt Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee!
Although Byrom is clearly the author of the epigram, the last two lines have also been attributed to Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope. While the familiar form of the rhyme was not printed until around 1805, when it appeared in Original Ditties for the Nursery, it is possible that Byrom was drawing on an existing rhyme.
The characters are perhaps best known from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass and what Alice Found There (1871). Carroll, having introduced two fat little men named Tweedledum and Tweedledee, quotes the nursery rhyme, which the two brothers then go on to enact. They agree to have a battle, but never have one. When they see a monstrous black crow swooping down, they take to their heels. The Tweedle brothers never contradict each other, even when one of them, according to the rhyme, "agrees to have a battle". Rather, they complement each other's words, which led John Tenniel to portray them as twins in his illustrations for the book.

Rudbeckia /rʌdˈbɛkiə/ is a plant genus in the Asteraceae or composite family. Rudbeckia flowers feature a prominent, raised central disc in black, brown shades of green, and in-between tones, giving rise to their familiar common names of coneflowers and black-eyed-susans. All are native to North America, and many species are cultivated in gardens for their showy yellow or gold flower heads that bloom in mid to late summer.
The species are herbaceous, mostly perennial plants (some annual or biennial) growing to 0.5–3.0 m tall, with simple or branched stems. The leaves are spirally arranged, entire to deeply lobed, and 5–25 cm long. The flowers are produced in daisy-like inflorescences, with yellow or orange florets arranged in a prominent, cone-shaped head; "cone-shaped" because the ray florets tend to point out and down (are decumbent) as the flower head opens.
A large number of species have been proposed within Rudbeckia, but most are now regarded as synonyms of the limited list given below.
Several currently accepted species have several accepted varieties. Some of them (for example the black-eyed susan, R. hirta), are popular garden flowers distinguished for their long flowering times. Many cultivars of these species are known.
Rudbeckia is one of at least four genera within the flowering plant family Asteraceae whose members are commonly known as coneflowers; the others are Echinacea, Dracopis, and Ratibida.
Rudbeckia species are eaten by the caterpillars of some Lepidoptera species including cabbage moths and dot moths.
The name was given by Carolus Linnaeus to honor his patron and fellow botanist at Uppsala University, Olof Rudbeck the Younger (1660-1740), as well as Rudbeck's late father Olof Rudbeck the Elder (1630-1702), a distinguished Naturalist, Philologist, and Doctor of Medicine (he had discovered the lymphatic system), and founder of Sweden's first botanic garden, now the Linnaean Garden at Uppsala. In 1730 Linnaeus had been invited into the home of the younger Rudbeck (now almost 70) as tutor his youngest children. Rudbeck had then recommended Linnaeus to replace him as a lecturer at the university and as the botanical garden demonstrator, even though Linnaeus was only in his second year of studies. In his book The Compleat Naturalist: A Life of Linnaeus, Wilfred Blunt quotes Linnaeus's dedication:
So long as the earth shall survive and as each spring shall see it covered with flowers, the Rudbeckia will preserve your glorious name. I have chosen a noble plant in order to recall your merits and the services you have rendered, a tall one to give an idea of your stature, and I wanted it to be one which branched and which flowered and fruited freely, to show that you cultivated not only the sciences but also the humanities. Its rayed flowers will bear witness that you shone among savants like the sun among the stars; its perennial roots will remind us that each year sees you live again through new works. Pride of our gardens, the Rudbeckia will be cultivated throughout Europe and in distant lands where your revered name must long have been known. Accept this plant, not for what it is but for what it will become when it bears your name.

[Listen]
Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
