Winter is coming, and autumn, the only remaining flower, seeks some life!

Douglas County-Washington State

Old, unique, and full of personality… The Tufa is otherworldly, but you need to search to find the best views. When we finally arrived at the South Tufa in the afternoon, we were thrilled and surprised by the number and beauty of these incredible God made structures on the lake... There is an easy boardwalk trail down to the Lake. The views are magnificent and beautiful. This lake is often used as the face of 'wish you were here' postcards, and deservedly so.

It is a unique experience when you see such pictures early in the morning at sunrise: The southern end of the Schrammstein chain with the "Vordere Torstein", the "Meurerturm" and the "Kesselturm" rain out of the sea of fog in the Elbe valley and shine in the morning sun...

 

Es sind einzigartige Erlebnisse, wenn man früh zum Sonnenaufgang solche Bilder zu Gesicht bekommt: Das südliche Ende der Schrammsteinkette mit dem Vorderen Torstein, dem Meurerturm und dem Kesselturm regen aus dem Nebelmeer des Elbtales heraus und leuchten in der Morgensonne...

Petunia is a genus in the family Solanaceae, subfamily Petunioideae. Well known members of Solanaceae in other subfamilies include tobacco (subfamily Nicotianoideae), and the cape gooseberry, tomato, potato, deadly nightshade and chili pepper (subfamily Solanoideae). It's a flowering plant of South American origin. Petunias can tolerate relatively harsh conditions and hot climates, but not frost. They need at least five hours of sunlight every day and flourish in moist soil and conditions of low atmospheric humidity. Petunias are generally insect pollinated.The Maya and Inca believed that the scent of petunias had the power to ward off underworld monsters and spirits. Their flower-buds were bunched together for magical drinks. 32179

Another unique shop/cafe in the historic shopping district of Micanopy, FL. Many years ago Micanopy was known for their antique shops and was a very desired location for dealers, but sadly the desire for antiques has fallen over the years. We were afraid of what we would find here after a pandemic too, but most of the buildings were still occupied and there are more gift shops and restaurants taking over.

 

Happy Fence Friday and have a wonderful weekend!

Ottawa's downtown, unique Convention Centre, on the Rideau. And yes it's in the shape of a large, glass spacesip. Beautiful to see in person.

Large tree with cones the size of bowling balls - risky to stand under tree, as they drop at random! Araucaria bidwillii, the bunya pine, is a large evergreen coniferous tree in the plant family Araucariaceae. It is found naturally in south-east Queensland Australia and two small disjunct populations in north eastern Queensland's World Heritage listed Wet Tropics. There are many old planted specimens in New South Wales, and around the Perth, Western Australia metropolitan area. They can grow up to 30–45 m. The cones are opened by large birds, such as cockatoos, or disintegrate when mature to release the large 3–4 cm seeds or nuts. 7340

Happy Caturday 2025 :-)

A very unique looking bird adept at natural camouflage and found in the higher elevations of the Himalayas. The male - in this picture - has a very interesting pattern and I struggled to sight it for a couple of minutes even while the others started taking shots.

 

This is a gamebird closely related to the Grouse bird. The birds just lay down on the forest floor and stay still making it very tough to identify them. They also forage on the forest floor eating pine nuts, shoots, seeds, pollen and other fruits that fall on the ground. I believe they are named after their calls (noted from Wikipedia).

 

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

Ezekiel 7:5 “Thus says the Lord God, ‘A disaster, unique disaster, behold it is coming!”

Darling,

open your eyes.

You are not made up of those words that hurt you.

Or that number on the scale.

Or the expectations that you feel you will never meet.

You are made up of nothing more than you.

Simply,

beautifully,

wonderfully,

uniquely you.

You are a lovely and complex soul.

An individually fascinating combination of thoughts,

ideas,

feelings,

emotions.

No other is as beautiful as you.

Look past the mirror.

Look at your soul.

Only then will you see yourself as you truly are.

Beautiful.

So smile!

And don’t forget to love yourself.

The least colorful part of this colorful plant is what caught my attention -- a single white flower.

Unique headstone at St. Peter's cemetery - Poughkeepsie, NY

Small, slender oriole. Adult males are a unique rich chestnut-brown color with a black head. Females are dull yellow-green with white wingbars. Immature males are similar to females, but with a black throat and mask. Breeds in open woodlands, river edges, pastures with scattered trees, and brushy orchards. Visits feeders with nectar and fruits. Departs breeding grounds early and heads to wintering grounds in Mexico and Central America, where it can be found in any open or wooded habitat. Compare with female Hooded Oriole, which is larger and longer-tailed and has a narrower, more curved bill. (eBird)

This lovely oriole was feeding on the plants at our B&B in Belize on our first day. A great way to start our Belize birding trip.

 

Ladyville, Belize. January 2011.

Shot with a Konishiroku "Hexanon 50 mm F 2.8" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.

Distinctive pair and . . they both are designed to use their razor-sharp wheels to cut slices through pizzas! But these two specific bikes will not be used for that and instead will be enjoyed TOGETHER as a pair of lovely and unique objects.

My iPhone could not capture how truly unique this cloud looked. I thought I had captured the whole circle but unfortunately I didn’t look until later. :(

Unique sparrow with incredible variation between populations. Generally patterned with gray, white, and shades of tan. All have pinkish bills and white outer tail feathers. Juveniles are streaky.

Kemble Women's Institute Scenic Lookout.

"The Parkette is a memorial to the members of the Kemble Women's Institute, past and present, and it celebrates the 110th anniversary of the organization and features a unique tea service carving of rock and concrete. Stunning views to the east over Georgian Bay."

 

The unique, beautiful and tranquil Black Basalt Beach. For many reasons, my favorite spot in SL.

Loved this homemade beauty.
