Local legend suggests that this bridge was started by Bishop Henry Cheyne in the late 13th or early 14th century and completed by Robert the Bruce. Whilst this may or may not be true, historical documents show that the bridge we see today was the result of rebuilding work in three phases in the early 17th century.
This was the main crossing on the Don leading to the north from Aberdeen and vice versa prior to the construction of the adjacent Bridge of Don in 1831. Today the Brig o’ Balgownie is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

The Hooded Merganser:
Spotted this Female Hooded Merganser Strutting Her Stuff after finishing a breakfast of Frog Legs alfresco. The legs were still attached to the frog, so it took her awhile to dine, but she seems to have had a Happy Ending : )
Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and rivers, where they dive for fish, crayfish, and other food, seizing it in their thin, serrated bills. They find their prey underwater by sight. They can actually change the refractive properties of their eyes to improve their underwater vision. In addition, they have an extra eyelid, called a “nictitating membrane,” which is transparent and helps protect the eye during swimming, like a pair of goggles.
Hooded Merganser ducklings leave their nest cavity within 24 hours of hatching. First, their mother checks the area around the nest and calls to the nestlings from ground level. From inside the nest, the little fluffballs scramble up to the entrance hole and then flutter to the ground, which may be 50 feet or more below them. In some cases, they have to walk half a mile or more with their mother to the nearest body of water.
The oldest recorded Hooded Merganser was a male and at least 14 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mississippi in 2009. He had been banded in Minnesota in 1995.

when i downloaded this image from my camera i knew instantly that i needed to convert it to black & white with just a bit of tint. to me i can better appreciate this flower's beautiful form, its graceful lines and subtle textures, without the distraction of colors.

… 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! ♥
The last picture from my project series to "forest and fog" or "fog and forest"? No matter, it's giant fun. Both walking in the foggy winter forest as well as the photographing. I am very happy when the pictures also liked one or the other. Enjoy your time, makes the best of it and stays healthy.
I took this at Cammino e Vivo Capovito. It is an amazing place, truly. Read about it here on the SLuggle.

I got a feeling that you brought me to you
Yeah, you did, babe
Look what your mind's imagination can do
Making shit true
Yeah, you do, babe
So let me take away your pain
Give me all of your emotions
Land it like a plane on my back if you can't hold it
Life is but a dream that you manifested slowly
So fuck a fantasy
This your motherfuckin' moment
Aye, this your motherfuckin' moment
Yeah (That you manifested slowly)
Aye, this your motherfuckin' moment
Life is but a dream
Here we are inside of it and you're inside of me
Until you actually fall asleep
Finally you can add this moment to your memory, ooh
Take away your pain
Give me all of your emotions
Land it like a plane on my back if you can't hold it
Life is but a dream that you manifested slowly
So fuck a fantasy
This your motherfuckin' moment
Aye, this your motherfuckin' moment
Yeah (That you manifested slowly)
Aye, this your motherfuckin' moment
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.”

For some that phrase would describe their eyes after a late night of partying and ringing in the New Year. For me on this first morning of the 20s, it meant first-light reaching Towers of the Virgin in Zion National Park.
Being a native East-Coaster, who has transplanted to life on the West Coast, I still feel that the New Year occurs when the crystal ball drops in New York, and that's the end. So, with the aide of staid Springdale, Utah, it was easy to get an early bedtime on New Years Eve so we could begin the trek to the Canyon Overlook Trail at 6:00 AM to catch first-light and sunrise from this vantage.
The trail is a relatively flat mile hike with a few tricky spots where the ice and slickrock conspire to give even the most sure-footed concern in the dark. Once we reached the overlook, I was a little concerned that our cold trek may have been for naught, due to the heavy cloud cover. Though they were thick overhead, there still was some clearing to the East, along the sun on the horizon to light a narrow band, reflecting off the cloud bottoms and warming the sheer rocks faces of the Temple of the Virgin ahead. This image was captured about 10-15 minutes before the local sunrise time, and is considerably brighter than what we saw with our eyes, due to the 20-second exposure.
Once the actual sun rays reached the Temple directly, the light only lit the areas seen here in red for less than 5 minutes before disappearing above the clouds for the remainder of the day.

=> Thank You for the Collaboration <=
p.s. the song that this picture inspires me ⏬
Wish that I could find the words
To describe you now
As I am lying next to you
And the world goes quiet
Wish that I could make you see
How you fit me perfectly
And I fall
Fall for you again
We've been through it all
You're the one who understand.
In a world where hope grows thin
You've completed me
And the story left within'
Tells me how to breathe
Wish that I could make you see
How you fit me perfectly.
... that the weekend will come soon - TGIF!

Yes another shot of that lovely tree with Florence sitting in the hollow in late afternoon light.

The church that stands today was completed in 1717. This church was built on the rubble of the 1625 church destroyed in the Pueblo Indian Revolt.
Got really lucky that the morning was so calm and the water was still, except for the occasional duck. On the left is the South Sister and on the right is Broken Top.
Located in the heart of Central Oregon just 25 miles west of Bend, Sparks Lake is a large, shallow lake. Situated near the northwest edge of Mount Bachelor, the lake boasts spectacular views of Broken Top and South Sister in addition to Mount Bachelor. Sparks Lake was formed by volcanic activity in the area over 10,000 years ago. Pristine alpine streams flow into this beautiful lake.
Sparks Lake is a natural body of water near the crest of the central Cascade Range in Deschutes County.
