Chinook Creek, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
I went to the mountains to look at wildflowers yesterday and ended up watching waterfalls and spending hours sitting by the beautiful clear waters of Chinook Creek, surrendering the stresses of the week to the rhythm of the flowing water.
The healing process for my foot will take awhile longer but I I got doctor approval for some easy walking as long as it wasn't painful, and I have been sadly missing alpine wildflower season, so I had planned to head up early in the morning to Mount Rainier National Park to visit some short and flat trails that usually have good wildflower viewing.
However, I arrived at my destination to find it overflowing with cars and people. (I would later find out from someone who asked me for directions, that the park rangers were directing people to this area as an alternative to the very long wait to get into the Sunrise entrance.) Being not in the mood for crowds of people, I decided to head to a less crowded spot and a trail I have hiked before that I knew had some waterfalls and creek access within the first half mile. I'm not sure the steepness of that half mile, the uneven trail surface, and the rocky sections by the water were quite the "easy walking" the doctor had in mind but I did give my foot some therapeutic soakings in an ice cold glacier fed stream!
I found a couple of beautiful spots to sit down by the creek, and without miles of hiking ahead of me I had plenty of time to relax and enjoy them. So I immersed myself in the sounds of the rush and flow of the creek, watched the play of sunlight on the water and how it changed as the sun moved across the sky, visually explored in depth all the details of the rocks and pools of water, and lazily watched dragonflies, butterflies, and an American Dipper. And since I only saw 3 other people in the hours that I was there, I especially enjoyed the soul nurturing tranquility of solitude. (A surprising find on a sunny Saturday in August at Mount Rainier!)
Garden Liles 2..
There is something so visually pleasing about a lily, it is the mixture of complimentary colours that draw you in. the contrast of yellow and red. I am sure this is as intoxicating to humans as it is to bees and other pollen gatherers.
I am sure there is a solid science behind the reasoning for the many varied colours of lilies; but suffice to say they make my garden look amazing while they are in bloom and i thank God for eyes to see them with.

Metal railings that visually create a sense of flow…
Observing the dense railings from the outside seems to be safe and sturdy. Standing in the building, so many iron railings, the vision should be very different. You know…XD
Many buildings in Taiwan,
Must rely on metal railings,
Let the residents feel safe.
金屬的欄桿，在視覺上產生流動感…
從外面觀察密集的欄杆，似乎是安全堅固。站在建築物裡面，這麼多鐵欄杆，視覺應該很不一樣。你知道的…XD
台灣許多建築物，
必須依賴金屬欄杆，
讓住戶得到安全感。
Lophornis chalybeus - Male - at Sítio Espinheiro Negro.
Tiny and visually striking hummingbird. Its mostly dark green upper parts are bisected by a pale rump band. Note the gray belly and rufous tail. Males are dazzling with a ruff of green feathers with pale tips on neck. Females are plainer with a dark face and pale throat. Usually found in humid forest, including second growth. Near threatened species.
A beauty to enlighten the week! Happy Wednesday! HMBT!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

This post continues our exploration of the buildings that surround the square, known as Central Park, in the city of Jacksonville. The square and surrounding buildings forms the heart of the Jacksonville Downtown Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2018.
This view to the northwest shows both the north and south halves of W. Central Park Plaza, with W. State St. separating the two halves. The most prominent building on W. Central Park Plaza and, indeed, on the square is shown in this view on the northwest corner of W. State St. and W. Central Park Plaza. Jacksonville's "skyscraper" is the former Ayers Bank Building (now Farmers State Bank & Trust Co.) an 8-story structure designed by Chicago architect Jarvis Hunt, and constructed at a cost of approximately $250,000.
Jarvis designed the 110 ft. tall, steel-frame structure in Neoclassical, Second Renaissance Revival style with a brick and cut stone exterior and a terra cotta egg-and-dart cornice. The building was completed in 1912, and was opened for business by the Ayers Bank on January 2, 1913.
In 1939, the Farmers State Bank & Trust Company bought the building for $53,000 at a foreclosure sale. The upper floors were rented to a series of dentists, physicians, and other professionals until 1985, when Farmers renovated the entire building for its exclusive use. In 1993-94, a 50’ x 100’, two-story addition was built on the north side of the existing 8-story structure. The bank lobby was completely remodeled and the two-lane drive-up area was expanded into 4 lanes.
The bank building is seperately listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the site is believed to have been continuously associated with banking since 1832, longer than any other site in Illinois. Today the bank remains the most visually significant building around Central Park.
The south half of W. Central Park Plaza is comprised of four buildings, all contributing properties and constructed between 1860 and 1920 in styles ranging from Italianate to late 19th and early 20th-century commercial. The oldest structure, seen on the far left and once used as a drug store, was erected in 1860. The "newest" building, on the southwest corner of W. Central Park and W. State St. and once used as a bank, was built in 1920.
Located in West Central Illinois, thirty-five miles west of the State Capitol in Springfield, Jacksonville is the seat of Morgan County. The population of the city at the 2020 census was 18,267.
Talking about the Pentacon 3.5/30 vintage lens. It may be half a century old, but optically it is a true 'generalist'. You can use it for any situation as long as the light is good. I prefer this lens to be wide open, as here. But that is a personal choice.
Both visually and audibly, the action of a swan rising from the water and stretching out those 2m wings is a sight to behold.
This beast of a fence has wood, barbed wire, heaven metal and other components, too. Visually, it was a kick!
Officially known by its Gaelic name Drochaid a’ Chaolais Chumhaing since 2019, the Kylesku Bridge is a Category A Listed structure on the A894. Designed in a distinctive curve shape to blend in with the local landscape, it was first opened in 1984 and continues to provide a visually stunning drive over Sutherland.
For some reason I just absolutely love the pictures of my flowerbed this time of year especially after the snow added just a touch of winter to the mix. I don't know if it is the textures or the colors or what, I just really love the way they look together!
Have a great Tuesday everyone!
Please be sure to view large if you have the time because it is truly better in large:

Der "heilige ET", wie die Triebzüge der Baureihe 420 unter Eisenbahnfreunden ehrfurchtsvoll genannt werden, verstärkt die Münchener S-Bahn Flotte inzwischen mit 36 Exemplaren. Zum Einsatz kommen sie aktuell auf den Linien S2, S4, S6, S8 und S20. Optisch machen die Fahrzeuge alle einen guten Eindruck, technisch gibt es aber wohl das ein oder andere Problemchen. Das führt nicht gerade zu großer Beleibtheit beim fahrenden Personal. Ich hingegen freute mich am 31. Oktober 2020, als mir bei Kottgeisering ein Vollzug mit dem führenden 420 447 vor die Linse fuhr.
The "holy ET", as the class 420 multiple units are reverentially known among rail enthusiasts, now reinforces the Munich S-Bahn fleet with 36 units. They are currently in service on the S2, S4, S6, S8 and S20 lines. Visually, the vehicles all make a good impression, but there are probably a few technical problems. This does not exactly lead to a high level of popularity among the staff. I, on the other hand, was happy on October 31, 2020, when I saw a full train with the leading 420 447 at Kottgeisering.
The most visually striking building in the 200 block of E. Front St. is this Victorian Romanesque-style structure designed by Bloomington architect George Miller and completed in 1886. For seventy years the building was the home of the Higgins, Jung and Kleinau Monument Co.
Designed by Bloomington architect George H. Miller in Victorian Romanesque-style, the building was constructed for Civil War veteran Hamer J. Higgins. The name "H. J. Higgins & Co. Marble Works" is clearly visible above the center bay of second-story windows. The building's appearance attests to the stone curlers skill and medium with dealing detailing Bedford Limestone, Indiana Marble, and St. Cloud Granite. Miller orchestrated these materials taking full advantage of the craftsmen's talent.
After monument and headstone production came to an end in 1956, the next long-term tenant was Nybakke Vacuum who had offices in the building from 1960 until 1992. That same year, the building was restored by Mike Temple to include apartments on the second floor. Presently Pars Rug Warehouse occupies on the first floor, with apartments on the upper floors.
The Higgins, Jung and Kleinau Monument Co. Building is contributing architectural property in the Bloomington Central Business District listed in 1985 in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The district includes roughly twelve square blocks of the city and encompasses 140 buildings, 118 of which are contributing buildings to the district's historic character.
Bloomington is the seat of McLean County. It is adjacent to Normal, and is the more populous of the two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area. Bloomington is 135 miles (217 km) southwest of Chicago, and 162 miles (261 km) northeast of St. Louis. The estimated population of Bloomington in 2019 was 77,330, with a metro population of 191,067.
Sunsets are visually pleasing with their blend of warm and vibrant colors that emerge as the sun dips below the horizon.
A source of inspiration and spiritual insight for people around the world. These daily events offer more than just visual beauty; they provide a gateway to deeper understanding and connection.
Passionate photographers, artists, poets, and philosophers have long been inspired by the hues of a sunset, capturing its essence in their works.

Visually (in terms of shape, size, and color) one of my favorite vegetables. Those pictured are of the honeynut variety.
Mount Cheam visually dominates much of the Fraser Valley near Vancouver, BC., Canada. It is the highest mountain in the valley and is part of the Cascade Range of mountains. Here, despite its distance from the resort community of Harrison Hotsprings, seen in the foreground, it appears to look down upon the 1600-member community. In reality Cheam is not “looking down “on the community at all, in fact it’s a fair distance away. This distortion between the town and the mountain is due to the affect of foreshortening from the telephoto lens. The telephoto lens with its narrow field of view makes the distance between these two objects appear much closer than they actually are. Compounding the foreshortening distortion is the use of a series of these images blended to create the panorama. It was a clear day with a great view and the haze in the valley added depth and layering.
Warbling Vireos can be distinguished visually from Red-eyed Vireos by the lack of a dark border between the crown and supercilium, which is a prominent mark of the Red-eyed Vireo.
They also lack the dark lores between the eye and the base of the bill. This feature gives their face a pale and washed out look. They are more gray on the cape and wing coverts than the bright olive of the Red-eyed Vireo. Warbling Vireos have a dark iris compared to the red iris of the Red-eyed Vireo. The red iris of the Red-eyed Vireo doesn't always show in a photo though.
A bright Warbling Vireo can look similar to a drab Philadelphia Vireo due to a pale yellow wash along the breast, throat, and flanks. The bill of a Philadelphia Vireo is obviously shorter in comparison. The Philadelphia Vireo has a dark lore area compared to the pale lore of the Warbling Vireo.
The songs of the Vireo species are very distinct, but they are not singing much at this time of year.
St. Albert, Alberta.
Visually she has strong traits of the Italian, her mix of Carniolan would be a darker honey bee. Some of her sisters show the Carniolan traits. She has a different personality, the Italian Queen is graceful and confident. This hybrid queen is a runner, maybe she will be more confident as time goes by. R.O. premium stock bred. This is the time I'm supposed to leave her alone and let her make brood. They must have let her out of her queen cage quickly. With 60% colony loss worldwide this year, this is a God send.
Since it's supposed to be very hot today, I'll at least cool things off visually.
And so I'll take you again to the Erawan Waterfall in Thailand.
A bit of effort is still necessary to get to this wonderfully beautiful place. After all, as you may remember, this is Stage Three.
But after about 30 minutes of sweating we arrived here. In a place that, at least for me, seems truly paradisiacal.
We can sit in the shade of the forest and listen to the sound of the waterfall, accompanied by the songs of many exotic birds, or take off our shoes and wade through the shallow water and let small silver-gray fish care for our feet. But be careful, the rocks are quite slippery in some places. And I don't want anyone to hurt themselves.
Or, if that's not enough to cool you down, just dive into the lagoon right in front of the waterfall. Because here, at almost 2 meters, the water is deep enough to completely submerge.
Yes, that's really bearable, isn't it?
Da es heute sehr heiß werden soll, sorge ich wenigstens optisch für etwas Abkühlung.
Und so nehme ich Euch noch einmal mit zum Erawan Wasserfall nach Thailand.
Ein bisschen Anstrengung ist noch nötig, um bis zu diesem traumhaft schönen Ort zu kommen. Schließlich ist das, vielleicht erinnert Ihr Euch noch, die Stufe Drei.
Doch nach etwa 30 Minuten Schwitzen sind wir dann hier angekommen. An einem, zumindest für mich, wahrlich paradiesisch wirkenden Ort.
Wir können im Schatten des Waldes sitzen und dem Rauschen des Wasserfalls lauschen, welches vom Gesang vieler exotischer Vögel untermalt ist, oder die Schuhe ausziehen und durch das flache Wasser waten und uns von kleinen silbergrauen Fischen die Füße pflegen lassen. Doch vorsicht, die Felsen sind an einigen Stellen ziemlich rutschig. Und ich will ja nicht, dass sich jemand weh tut.
Oder, wenn das als Abkühlung alles noch nicht reicht, dann taucht doch einfach in die Lagune direkt vor dem Wasserfall ein. Denn hier ist mit nahezu 2 Metern das Wasser tief genug um komplett unter zu tauchen.
Ja, so lässt es sich echt aushalten oder ?

Visually it matches with Japanese Beetle, but clicked in Bangalore, India. Indian Beetles look little different. So I am not sure about the exact name.
The Peggy's Point lighthouse, in its current form, was built in 1915. Prior to this more modern concrete version, there was a wooden tower dating back to 1868. The current light is a rotating red one, installed in 2009. Not very romantic or visually attractive, when compared to the old style lamps with complex magnification lenses.

I could visually see the pinkish nitrogen fringe moving west to east. From Spaceweather.com "Pink is hard to make because it requires particles from the sun to penetrate unusually deep into Earth's atmosphere. Most auroras are green, a color that comes from electrons hitting oxygen atoms 100 km to 300 km above Earth's surface. Pink requires those electrons to burrow even deeper, below 100 km, where they can find molecular nitrogen. N2 produces the pink. This "nitrogen fringe" appears only during strong storms with extra-penetrating particles from space."

In my face...
Two visually identical species have been introduced into the north-west Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Although identification information is given below, this was derived for specimens from the native range. Lionfishes in the invaded range may differ significantly from native range specimens. At this time, positive identification can only be achieved through genetic analysis.
Pterois volitans Red Lionfish
The Red Lionfish has greatly elongated dorsal-fin spines. The membranes of all fins are often spotted. The body is white or cream coloured red to reddish-brown vertical stripes. The vertical stripes alternate from wide to very thin (with the thin stripes being more numerous) and sometimes merge along the flank to form a V-shape.
Pterois miles Devil Firefish
A closely-related species, the Devil Firefish (Pterois miles), is similar to the Red Lionfish. The Devil Firefish is found primarily in Indian Ocean and Red Sea (as opposed to the Red Lionfish, which is predominantly a Pacific species); however, its range extends to Sumatra where the two species co-occur. Although it appears very similar to the Red Lionfish, the Devil Firefish has fewer dorsal- and anal-fin rays. The Devil Firefish generally has 10 dorsal-fin rays and 6 anal-fin rays; the Red Lionfish usually has 11 dorsal-fin rays and 7 anal-fin rays. (USGS.gov)

Visually, the sky meets the earth. Figuratively, something is likely to soon occur. Literally, leaving this tropical island north shore beach of calcareous limestone layered with volcanic tuff, the next landfall would be the Aleutian Islands about 2,400 miles distant. Don’t fall off!

The visually spectacular red-crested cardinal is hard to miss. Despite the resemblance and common name, the red-crested cardinal is a tanager and not taxonomically classified as a cardinal. Also called the Brazilian cardinal, this South American species was introduced to Hawaii in the 1930s and has become naturalized and abundant. This beauty is commonly observed in urban areas of Oahu, Kauai, and Maui.
In what is visually a mix up of heritage, former Canadian Pacific SD40-2F 9017 splits the old CP ABS signals at Tarratine, on the old CP Moosehead Sub... while adorned in Bangor & Aroostook colors. Apparently with their other engines down for various maladies, they were short of power enough to put the freshly repainted 9017 on the point of Job 1 today, instead of waiting for the PR shoot to send it west. The 9017 is leading (and fortunately hiding) LTEX GP35u 2535, and twenty-eight cars, as they head west for Canada.
This male kōlea is about two weeks from his annual migration to the Alaskan tundra. Looking fat and dapper in his breeding plumage, he will somehow sense the time to congregate with other previously solitary kōlea and depart collectively. The trip spans over approximately 3,000 miles of open ocean requiring a rigorous, energy intensive effort of 3 to 4 days and nights of nonstop flight at elevation ranging from 3,000 to 16,000 feet. Superb navigators with territorial fidelity, kōlea use the stars and the earth’s magnetic field to find their way over the featureless ocean to the same small patch of territory every year. They may use the earth’s magnetic field visually with the magnetoreception molecules of cryptochrome in their retina.
This was done for a ZOOM presentation for college & high school students interested in pursuing a career in Architecture. An wanted to encourage the digital generation about the importance of the skill of sketching as a way to communicate visually. An used the photo as a slide in my presentation.
Nothing is a bit visually spectacular about this photo but I want to share to my friends a little of history that I learned during my recent holiday in Korea.
The picture was taken at the Demilitarized Zone of the two Koreas. There is a conference building at the right side (not seen in pic) where meetings and negotiations are held between the two Koreas. Beyond the yellow line where the North Korea's terrain and territory can be seen, taking photographs are strictly prohibited as maybe part of the agreement. However, at the South's side, picture taking was never a problem. Quite bizarre to me as there was practically nothing to see at the North's side from that point, except for a wide almost frozen river, some dirt roads. vast farm lands and typical countryside terrains.
