A valuable nectar source for butterflies and bees as this species of scabious has a very long flowering period from July to September. Can be known by many other names such as Lady's Pincushion, Blue Bonnets, Snake Flower, Blackamoors Beauty, Pins-and-Needles etc. This plant was also popular with the old herbalists and used as a herb to treat mange, itches, and scabies.
The Church of Holy Virgin Mary is the oldest and most valuable architectural monument in Inowrocław. Built of granite blocks, closed from the east with a semicircular apse and from the west with two stone and brick towers. Its construction probably began before 1186, during the reign of Duke Leszek (1173–1186). The brick towers were probably completed at the beginning of the 13th century. The church was put into worship before October 6, 1233, when the diocesan synod for the clergy of Kujawy took place.
The church erected on the local hill looks beautiful, but it is a pity that it is inaccessible for passing tourists. It is impossible to see its interior even through the lattice, as is used in other churches.

Kościół p. w. Imienia NMP jest najstarszym i najcenniejszym zabytkiem architektury w Inowrocławiu. Zbudowany z granitowych ciosów, od wschodu zamknięty półkolistą absydą a od zachodu kamienno – ceglanymi dwiema wieżami. Prawdopodobnie jego budowę rozpoczęto przed rokiem 1186, za panowania księcia Leszka (1173–1186). Ceglane wieże ukończono zapewne na początku XIII wieku. Kościół oddano na potrzeby kultu przed 6 października 1233 rokiem, kiedy to odbył się synod diecezjalny dla duchowieństwa kujawskiego.
Kościół wzniesiony na lokalnym wzgórzu pięknie się prezentuje, ale wielka szkoda że dla przejezdnego turysty jest on niedostępny. Nie można zobaczyć jego wnętrza nawet przez kratę, jak to jest stosowane w innych kościołach.

It is a time of quiet joy, the sunny morning. When the glittery dew is on the mallow weeds, each leaf holds a jewel which is beautiful if not valuable. This is no time for hurry or for bustle. Thoughts are slow and deep and golden in the morning.

Frauenkirche Dresden.... Built in the 18th century, the church was destroyed in the bombing of Dresden during World War II. The remaining ruins were left for 50 years as a war memorial, following decisions of local East German leaders. The church was rebuilt after the reunification of Germany, starting in 1994. The reconstruction of its exterior was completed in 2004, and the interior in 2005. The church was reconsecrated on 30 October 2005 with festive services lasting through the Protestant observance of Reformation Day on 31 October. The surrounding Neumarkt square with its many valuable baroque buildings was also reconstructed in 2004.
Compiled by C.H.C.A. van Sypesteyn (1857 - 1937), a valuable art collection forms the foundation of the Castle-Museum Sypesteyn in Loosdrecht. In addition to the collection of portraits, furniture, silver and glass objects, clocks and sculptures, there is also a beautiful collection of porcelain. The Loosdrecht porcelain is particularly worth seeing.
The castle gardens
A garden with hedges, moats and decorative wrought-iron gates characterize Sypesteyn Castle. Via paths and bridges, you can walk around the maze and cross the canal and take a leisurely stroll through the orchards, the park and the castle garden. You will discover all sorts of indigenous and exotic trees during your stroll.
Tribute to Van Sypesteyn
The lord of the castle did not build it merely as a place to house his art collection. As the last descendant of the Van Sypesteyn line, he wanted to build the castle to pay tribute to his family. The stunning garden and park were built in the 17th-century style. Surrounded by the Loosdrecht lakes and the Vecht River, the area around the castle is also magnificent.

Murau
Gothic architecture
The parish of Murau is characterized by its five historically valuable churches, as well as by its various forms of worship.
The Murau parish church is one of the earliest and most interesting Gothic sacred buildings in Styria. It goes back to the founding of Otto II von Liechtenstein, the then lord of Murau. Construction began in 1284 above the town, halfway up the south slope of the Schlossberg.
In 1296 the consecration in honor of St. Matthew, the final completion of the building, however, dragged on for a few more years. In 1311, the donor's will reports that the church building, a cruciform basilica with a high choir and a heavy, stone crossing tower, was not quite finished at that time. Late Gothic additions and extensions from the first half of the 17th century. - when after the extinction of the House of Liechtenstein-Murau, the rule passed to the house of the later princes Schwarzenberg - are witnesses of building changes and additions, which, however, in no way changed the basic character of the early Gothic building.
Theological Hall at the Strahov Monastery, Prague, Czech Republic (had to do a vertical stitch of 2 shots to capture as much of the ornate ceiling as possible; as before, I was allowed to shoot only from the doorway of the hall, having paid for a special photo permission)
The Theological Hall was built in the 17th century by architect Giovanni Domenico Orsi. In the 18th century, the hall was extended by several meters and artist Siard Nosecky painted frescoes on its walls.
On the right, you can see a Gothic wooden statue of St. John the Evangelist. On the left stands the book wheel from the 17th century for study work. The gear inside it enabled its shelves to remain at the same angle so that books would not slide when the wheel was turned.
In the central part of the hall, you see a number of globes, both terrestrial and astronomical. The most valuable of them were manufactured in the workshop of the famous Blaeu family of Rotterdam.
Over 20,000 volumes are kept in the Theological Hall, mostly on theology (hence the name of the hall).
Above the iron doors at the bottom of the library, there is an inscription: Initium sapientiae timor Domini - the beginning of wisdom is fear of God.
The rose chafers are a subfamily of the scarab beetles. The subfamily is distributed worldwide, but has its distribution focus in the tropics. About 3000 species in about 400 genera are known. The taxonomy of the group is controversial. Wikipedia

Palazzo Castrone - Santa Ninfa, located a few steps from the floor of the Cathedral of Palermo, is one of the most valuable buildings of the 16th century.
The construction of the building was commissioned in 1588 by Cristoforo Castrone, a member of an ancient and illustrious patrician family from Palermo, who commissioned Giuseppe Giacalone to build his home. Even today, on the pediment that surmounts the portal, a golden lion going on three bars, the coat of arms of the Castrone family, is still visible.
The Palace is also called "Santa Ninfa" because from the end of the seventeenth century to 1820 it was owned by the Giardina, Marquesses of Santa Ninfa.
Historical building, currently it is the seat of the MEC Museum, among the most important Apple collections in Europe.
If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant :-)

The martial eagle (Polemaetus bellicosus) is a large eagle native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is the only member of the genus Polemaetus.
A species of the booted eagle subfamily (Aquillinae), it has feathering over its tarsus. One of the largest and most powerful species of booted eagle, it is a fairly opportunistic predator that varies it prey selection between mammals, birds and reptiles. Its hunting technique is unique as it is one of few eagle species known to hunt primarily from a high soar, by stooping on its quarry. An inhabitant of wooded belts of otherwise open savanna, this species has shown a precipitous decline in the last few centuries due to a variety of factors.
The martial eagle is one of the most persecuted bird species in the world. Due to its habit of taking livestock and regionally valuable game, local farmers and game wardens frequently seek to eliminate martial eagles, although the effect of eagles on this prey is almost certainly considerably exaggerated.
Currently, the martial eagle is classified with the status of Vulnerable to extinction by the IUCN.
The immature bird looks quite different from the adult. Immature are paler above, and they have white plumage on the underparts. They have a small crest on the crown. They reach adult plumage at about 7 years. - Wikipedia
The Altiplano, the high plateau is not totally devoid of water; there are several lagoons that provide valuable food for birds.
It was a truly fantastic summer evening, which touched me deeply in my heart, because to see the beauties that evening was one of the most valuable gifts for me in summer 2017.
I can not call it any other than a "gift," for what can we do with it alone without the help of the Almighty, the Creator of all things.
This summer grass was still there, though the farmer should have already cut it off. The butterflies were right there, where I stood with my camera and shone in the evening light all their beauty. In addition, I was able to shoot them at the right moment, when the last rays of the sun once again shone the stalks of the meadow in a golden light. What else is it as a great gift, because I contributed nothing, except to accept it with gratitude and hold a small piece of it with my camera.
I thank my Creator in heaven for all His goodness and love every day I get from Him, for every day I can experience here on earth is a gift from heaven.
Dedication:
I would like to thank all my faithful and loving flickr friends for their sympathy and love for my little work. Also all the lovable words from you delight my heart so much. I am so happy about the many dear friends I could get to know through my pictures here. Some of them have even become very close friends for me, a real friendship that carries me.
Prior notice:
I will not present photos here for a while, (between September & October) because I am traveling for a few weeks. I will tell you when this will be. I miss you already now !!!
Pretty much best friends
( It's one of my favorite movies. If you have time, please watch it. It's all about real friendship)
Life is so valuable, diverse, interesting and so fleeting that there is no time to be not who you are and not who you want to be with.

Tidal plain between Great Kills Park and Oakwood beach. It is a valuable wetland hit hard by superstorm Sandy in 2012. Which destroyed most of the homes in the Oakwood Beach. area
This little chipmunk is having a hard time finding acorns and other autumn nuts now that all the leaves have fallen down and hidden those valuable winter food supplies. It looks like this active chipmunk has worn the fur right off its face after pushing all those pesky leaves around😊
Berries have been valuable as a food source for humans since before the start of agriculture, and remain among the primary food sources of other primates. They were a seasonal staple for early hunter-gatherers for thousands of years, and wild berry gathering remains a popular activity in Europe and North America today.
Dark orange & yellow crocosmia
plant.Crocosmia
Crocosmia, or Montbretias as they are colloquially known, are really valuable for adding warm red and orange tones into the summer border, a contrast in shape and form to the wealth of summer daisies in flower at that time. Given conditions where they are happy they can be rewarding and long lived. They retreat each winter to a corm – a swollen stem – each year producing new bulb like structure. Over the years these annual corms can pile up to form lengthy strings with the older corms having some role in providing nutrition to the youngest active corm. It is on account of this that the old practice of annual lifting of corms can be detrimental. Also old wisdom had you lift and replant corms late in the year, a practice that didn’t give the corms enough time to settle before winter.
Crocosmia are relatively easy to grow and it might seem that all Crocosmia are similar and require the same treatment. There is a universal desire for a warm spot in sun or dappled shade and a soil that is neither excessively heavy, nor boggy. However, a little study of the parent species can lead to a greater understanding of the condition individual varieties would really like. Several of the species are to be found growing in light woodland in the wild (C.aurea and C.potsii) or in damp grassland (C.paniculata). As a generalisation they come from environments which are moist for the growing season.
The varying hardiness of Crocosia cultivars can be attributed to the contribution the parents make to their makup. Varieties of Crocosmia potsii are considered the most cold hardy, with those of Crocosmia aurea being the least. Cold isn’t the only hardiness issue, Winter wet is also a factor, with Crocosmia potsii being exposed to a fair degree of moisture all year around in its native environment whilst other species such as Crocosmia pearsei needing a lot more exposure to warm dry conditions to be happy.
In the growing season, Crocosmia masoniorum likes it on the warm and dry side, tending to decline in rich moist soils. This contrasts with the requirement of Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora for a moist, rich warm spot to produce of its best. Cultivars of Crocosmia paniculata tend to be shy to flower in dry conditions.
If you live in an area where you need to lift Crocosmia corms against the winter cold, it is essential to keep them from drying out over winter. Store them in peat or shaving over winter to prevent them dessicating and when it comes to Spring plant them in cool conditions to allow them to rehydrate before shooting. Planting warm from a dry corm is a recipe for disaster.
The name comes from the Greek ‘krokos’ = saffron and ‘osme’ = smell, referring to the strong smell of saffron given off by the dried flowers when immersed in water.

Around lake Rådasjön a nature reserve consists, apart from the lake, the surrounding land areas with riparian forests, open pastures and deciduous forests of mainly oak. The entire area is a well preserved example of a Swedish west higher class environment around Rada manor and together with the adjacent castle Gunnebo formed a biologically and historically valuable whole. The nature reserve includes several valuable habitats which now has little distribution in Sweden. Rådasjöns Reserve is 351 hectares and is located in close proximity to urban areas Molnlycke and Mölndal
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryin' to hold on, did-didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go

The Common Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) of the genus Dandelion (Taraxacum) within the Asteraceae family is a perennial plant that, if not being fought as a weed, is valued as a valuable medicinal plant and is also used as a healthy food in the kitchen. As a wild plant, dandelion is widespread in the temperate zones of the entire northern hemisphere and grows with preference on nitrogen-rich (fat) meadows, at roadsides and at ditches.
