The petals have fallen but the stamens and style (pistil) of a glory bush, princess flower, or Lasiandra, Tibouchina sp, persist.
Thank you for your visit. I appreciate any faves or comments that you leave very much and I am grateful for invitations too.
Mourning Doves (Zenaida macroura). This pair of love birds have been hanging around my property for the past four years. They use the Spanish moss hanging in my oak tree to build their nests.
They try nesting in some unusual places around my yard. Hanging planters are their favorites. Every spring they go through this ritual of affection for each other and then its off to forage for twigs and moss. Wonder where their nest will be this time?
This tree at the Quiraing on Skye must be one of the most photographed trees in Scotland. It's certainly very photogenic. So much so that it's hard not to take the classic shot. I did however head over to see if I could capture some nice clouds just before sunrise too.
...That’s why I’d Love to Hang my Hat in Tennessee.
A bit of a twist of the lyrics from George Strait’s 1987 Country Hit Recording : )
Last October, the Mrs. and I enjoyed a week in the Beautiful State of Tennessee. In addition to visiting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (a Bucket List item) we had a delightful day at the gorgeous Cumberland Mountain State Park located in Crossville Tennessee.
The Byrd Creek Bridge is the centerpiece of the Cumberland Mountain State Park. The seven span bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Cumberland Homesteads Historic District. The Byrd Creek Dam is the largest masonry structure ever built by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Men of the Civilian Conservation Corps built this unsuspended bridge between 1935 and 1940, for a 30-acre impoundment of Byrd's Creek. Three thousand five hundred and fifty cubic yards of dirt and rock were excavated and the core, containing 8,000 tons of concrete, is faced with Crab Orchard stone for the 319-foot span. Seven spillways, rising 28 feet above the stream bed, carry the 18-foot wide roadway approximately, which is 16 feet above water level.
Cumberland Mountain State Park began as part of the greater Cumberland Homesteads Project, a New Deal-era initiative by the Resettlement Administration that helped relocate poverty-stricken families on the Cumberland Plateau to small farms centered on what is now the Cumberland Homestead community. The 1,720-acre park was acquired in 1938 to provide a recreational area for some 250 families selected to homestead on the Cumberland Plateau.

Larger that the Green Bottle Fly and found common in many continents which include Europe, Americas and Africa, also a species of blow fly. Adults will tend to feed on nectar and females will deposit their eggs on rotten corpses and this is why they make important forensic insects as their eggs and the timing of oviposition can be used to help estimate time of death. The name Bluebottle is an old name that is shared with the Portuguese Man-O-War and certain blue flowers.

The hard thing to do of course is to find a way to photograph a mundane subject or a mundane event in a way that makes it exciting.

I've seen that look in your eyes
It makes me go blind
Cut me deep, the secrets and lies
Storm in the quiet

… and closer to the training pen. This look is very familiar to anyone who has horses. We see a beautiful morning fresh with new possibilities to up our horsemanship game, and our equine bestie sees his friends loafing around in the pasture and grieves the ever increasing distance between his destination and his oats! Not to worry, Roanie, I foresee carrots in your very near future!
Happy Friday, everyone! Wishing you happy trails and a weekend filled with all of the things you love the most! ♥

A storm glass is a glass tube filled with multiple chemicals, and it is said that the weather in the near future can be known from the state of the solution, precipitation, and crystals.
Crystals have appeared today, so the weather will be bad soon.
Many viewers have commented that The Guardian Building (originally The Union Trust Company Building) reminded them of a church.
This picture shows approximately half of the bank lobby on the main floor. Imagine the original bank building with 60-90 bank teller cages lining the entire length of both sides of this "nave". The ceiling was composed of a 3/4 inch (1.9cm) of horsehair and coated with a layer of plaster cement. Then, a canvas layer was applied, and painted with designs reminiscent of the patterns of Navajo rugs. This was a sound-deadening system.
The "altar piece" ( I suppose) was the three-story mural of the map of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Highlighted were the major Michigan moneymakers of the1890s to 1920s: mining, manufacturing, lumber, fishing, commerce, and agriculture. It was completed in 1929, unfortunately the year of the beginning of "The Great Depression".
This superbly decorated Art-Deco bank building was nicknamed "The Cathedral of Finance." So, if the earlier pictures reminded you of a church (reprised in the first comment below) --you were very observant : -)
Stocky heron that roosts in groups in tall trees, usually beside water (including mangroves). Adult is rufous with pale breast and a black cap. Immature is heavy streaked, and can be easily confused with Striated Heron (black crown), Black Bittern (darker, with yellow neck stripe), or Australasian Bittern (which is a much larger bird). (eBird)

We spent the morning on the Yellow Waters Billabong and Jim Jim Creek of Kakadu National Park, looking for birds and crocodiles. We came across the adult and immature night-herons as we moved slowly through the mangroves and fields lining the river.

It can happen at any moment when "that moment" happens.
Usually in my case I miss that moment....
On this occasion I was set up for a perspective shot beneath the L tracks when I saw "that girl" at the corner. She smiled as she waited for me to take my shot. With a smile in return I waved her across. Thank you.......
Yes another shot of that lovely tree with Florence sitting in the hollow in late afternoon light.

I took a drive through rural Indiana yesterday. I've driven most of the roads plenty of times before but still find something new to photograph each time. Also sad to see a few old places have disappeared or are quickly disappearing, but more on that later.
This old house stands in the shadows of the surrounding trees. Vines typically cover the walls making it blend in with the surrounding landscape. However on this rather cool day in early spring, you can see this house and all of its glory.

** Normally Lighthouses are structures that tower high above you , but not the Beachy Head Lighthouse . In fact in this shot from the cliff tops it looks like a toy but I assure its the real deal .
Beachy Head Lighthouse is located in the English Channel below the cliffs of Beachy Head in East Sussex. It is 43 m (141 ft) in height and became operational in October 1902.It was the last traditional-style 'rock tower' (i.e. offshore lighthouse) to be built by Trinity House. In 1900 to 1902 under the direction of Sir Thomas Matthews, the Trinity House Engineer-in-Chief, Beachy Head Lighthouse was built, sited about 165 metres seawards from the base of the cliffs. For the construction, a temporary cable car from the cliff was installed for the transport of workers and stones to an iron ocean platform adjacent to the lighthouse. 3,660 tons of Cornish granite were used in the construction of the tower.
Trinity House announced in 2011 that it could no longer afford to repaint the distinctive red and white stripes and that it would have to be left to return to its natural granite grey. It stated that because boats now have high tech navigational systems the day marker stripes are no longer essential. However, a sponsored campaign to keep the stripes was launched in October 2011. The required £27,000 was raised.The tower repainting was completed in 2012 using a team including two abseilers. Five coats of paint were applied to the copper lantern at the top and three on each hoop of the tower.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
If you read
what this April
rain writes
on gold leaves
in transparent ink,
a blurring script
of how what falls
through air
from nowhere
and shimmers,
for the moment,
a book of days
of unsayable
syllables, lovely,
nevertheless,
bejeweled,
reflective
of late light
along the deckle
edge, dissolving,
running off, falling
again, as all brief
infatuations do
into silence,
perhaps, in time
bittersweet memory,
then you know
the feeling.
--Miguel de O
