There was something about the perspective and the light from above that made me take this shot. The mist in the air gave the sky a blank look but lit up the gap in the canopy enough to highlight this central tree. Taken in Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire.
So finally we've had a lovely sunny morning with a whiff of summer nearing its end. Young Australian Reed Warblers were having fun chasing the insects and did not pay much attention to that lone human on the shore.
by the wind. I loved the way the wind blew the sand into these tiny mountains and raised the shells and pebbles to rest on top.

The Kali Gandaki or Gandaki River (also known as the Narayani in southern Nepal and the Gandak in India) is one of the major rivers of Nepal and a left bank tributary of the Ganges in India. It is also called Krishna Gandaki in Nepal.[1] In Nepal the river is notable for its deep gorge through the Himalayas and its enormous hydroelectric potential. It has a total catchment area of 46,300 square kilometers (17,900 sq mi), most of it in Nepal. The basin also contains three of the world's 14 mountains over 8,000 metres (26,000 ft), Dhaulagiri, Manaslu and Annapurna I. Dhaulagiri is the highest point of the Gandaki basin. It lies between the similar Kosi system to the east and the Karnali (Ghaghara) system to the west.
The Kali Gandaki river source is at the border with Tibet at an elevation of 6,268 metres (20,564 ft) at the Nhubine Himal Glacier in the Mustang region of Nepal.[2][3]
The headwaters stream on some maps is named the Chhuama Khola and then, nearing Lo Manthang, the Nhichung Khola or Choro Khola. The Kali Gandaki then flows southwest (with the name of Mustang Khola on old, outdated maps) through a sheer-sided, deep canyon before widening at the steel footbridge at Chele, where part of its flow funnels through a rock tunnel, and from this point the now wide river is called the Kali Gandaki on all maps. In Kagbeni a major tributary named Johng Khola, Kak Khola or Krishnaa descends from Muktinath.
The river then flows southward through a steep gorge known as the Kali Gandaki Gorge, or Andha Galchi, between the mountains Dhaulagiri, elevation 8,167 metres (26,795 ft) to the west and Annapurna I, elevation 8,091 metres (26,545 ft) to the east. If one measures the depth of a canyon by the difference between the river height and the heights of the highest peaks on either side, this gorge is the world's deepest. The portion of the river directly between Dhaulagiri and Annapurna I, 7 kilometres (4 mi) downstream from Tukuche), is at an elevation of 2,520 metres (8,270 ft),[4] which is 5,571 metres (18,278 ft) lower than Annapurna I. The river is older than the Himalayas. As tectonic activity forces the mountains higher, the river has cut through the uplift.
South of the gorge, the river is joined by Rahughat Khola at Galeshwor, Myagdi Khola at Beni, Modi Khola near Kushma and Badigaad at Rudrabeni above Ridi Bazaar. The river then turns east to run along the northern edge of the Mahabharat Range. The largest hydroelectricity project in Nepal is located along this stretch of the river. Turning south again and breaking through the Mahabharats, Kali Gandaki is then joined by a major tributary, the Trishuli, at Devighat, then by the East Rapti River draining the Inner Terai valley known as Chitwan. The Gandaki then crosses the outermost foothills of the Himalayas—Sivalik Hills—into the Terai plains of Nepal. From Devighat, the river flows southwest of Gaindakot town. The river later curves back towards the southeast as it enters India where it is called the Gandak.
Below Gaindakot the river is known as the Narayani or Sapt Gandaki (Seven Gandakis), for seven tributaries rising in the Himalaya or further north along the main Ganges-Brahmaputra divide. These are the Kali Gandaki, the Trishuli River, and the five main tributaries of the Trishuli known as the Daraudi, Seti, Madi, Marsyandi and Budhi.

"Where The Heart Is"
High above the tallest trees
Courage will come your way
It's the need that burns the trust that shines
When you climb out of the shade
Your high awakes the things you wanna be
Where the air is thin and sweeps you off your feet
Where the heart is
When the light's at your side
When the faith is ready
No more guidance
Take the leap of your life
As the ground is shaking
Shaking off your troubled soul
As silence seems to grow
It's the faith in sight, the doubt that fades
As the world dissolves below
Your high awakes the things you wanna be
Where the air is thin and sweeps you off your feet
Where the heart is
When the light's at your side
When the faith is ready
No more guidance
Take the leap of your life
As the ground is shaking
You are falling to the stars, you are falling
You are falling to the stars, you are falling
You are falling to the stars, you are falling
You are falling to the stars, you are falling
Where the heart is
When the light's at your side
When the faith is ready
No more guidance
Take the leap of your life
As the ground is shaking
💖 In advance I want to thank each one of you for your always kindness, support, beautiful awards, favs, and messages. Please know that I see and read them all, even if I do not reply back to them, I appreciate them all so much as well as each on of you for taking the time.
💖 You all mean a lot to me, Flickr would not be the same without you, I can not thank each one of you enough for your constant encouraging and uplifting support that you all give me. I am immensely grateful.
At the moment I am working on doing pictures and putting together an exhibition that I have been so honored to be invited to do later this month. So If I am absent more or less, it is because I am working that project.
💕💖💕 Time has flown by so quickly, I had my first week back at work this week, after having a 3 week long well deserved vacation, it was hard going back to daily routine. I did however have a nice time in my vacation and have enjoyed both traveling abroad with friends, as well as greatly enjoyed nature and being outside in nature close by where I live. I feel fortunate to have nature that close to me..
It only takes a 2 minutes walk from home and I am in the middle of the forest as well as having the opportunity to do a hike or walk up the mountains. It sounds like I am living in the country side, but I can assure you that I am not. I am very close to the city. So from the backside of my house I have nature in all its glory, and from the front-side, I am overlooking the city and the sea.
Oh well, enough about me. I wish you all a wonderful Sunday and upcoming week, and as always I wish each one of you the best and my regards goes out to each one of you.
Take good care of your self as well as one another, be kind as well as thoughtful towards others. We never know what others have been trough or is going trough, so please always remember that. 💕💖💕
💖 Huge, huge hugs, light, peace and love to you all 💖.
Best regards

The state of the world has been on my mind
It’s weighed on my shoulders, demanding my time
Something is missing, it’s hard to stay sane
Why do the answers seem lost and arcane?
May war stop once and for all
And cast off the violence that has us enthralled
May healing not just be for the few
May peace be found for me and you
I speak of a message said thousands of times
Yet we smile when it’s mentioned and roll our eyes
It may be naive, but I must believe
Inside every human there’s kindness still
Hope is a fire that burns in us all
If only an ember, awaiting your call
To rise up in triumph should we all unite
The spark for change is yours to ignite
I believe this message is worth our time
There are people who’ve suffered yet conquered the climb
Who’ve sat in the stillness through darkness and light
And found love in the colours between black and white
May compassion turn foe into friend
May self-awareness help us transcend
May forgiveness be given, despite lives that were lost
For isn’t it peace all of us want?
The state of the world has been on my mind
Demanding my conscience and all of my time
Was there ever an age where it all made sense?
Or am I reminiscing about lost innocence?

Shore Acres State Park is south of Coos Bay on the Oregon coast. It features 5 acres of formal gardens including a rose-testing plot and Japanese lily pond, as well as ocean views and beach access. In the cooler months, visitors can watch storms and migrating whales from the park's sandstone cliffs. Another seasonal attraction is the Shore Acres Holiday Lights, lasting from Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve, when the gardens are decorated with lights and illuminated sculptures. Shore Acres was originally an estate owned by Louis J. Simpson, a Coos County timber baron and son of shipping magnate Asa Meade Simpson. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shore_Acres_State_Park
This coastal rock is a short walk from the garden. It shows some major past movement of the layered rock.

An aerial view of Hill Country along the Willow City Loop in Gillespie County, about 85 west of Austin. Some of the oldest rocks in Texas, both Cambrian and Precambrian formations with some dating back 1.3 billion years, can be found in the region known as the Llano Uplift.
This area can be seen along the Willow City Loop, a scenic 13-mile road through privately owned land with some of central Texas's oldest and most unique geology. The views of the hills, valleys, creeks, and flower field meadows—particularly in the spring—are quite beautiful. While we visit this area in the spring and fall of every year, this is the first time I've flown over it with a drone. efault
