This shot was captured the same day as the previous upload (the Trillium closeup). Perhaps it will help put that flower, which was among those shown in the clump to the right of the road, into context for you.
Thanks to all who visit, fave, comment, and extend invitations. Your support is much appreciated. I will be sure to visit your work, too

Do Have A Listen To This as its taken from a series called Atlantic Bridge Sessions which is very apt I think.
Hiking in Switzerland ; Grindelwald , First , above Bachsee . No. 8975.
"It's impossible to imagine the Swiss mountain world as more idyllic than the area surrounding Lake Bachalpsee. The snow-covered peaks of the Alps are reflected in the crystal clear blue water.
First is the starting point for hikes and it offers action: An adrenaline rush and speed thrills are guaranteed on the First Flyer, trottibike scooters or bikes. Children can have fun on the 700-m² playground at the Bort intermediate station."
Trois étapes vous seront nécessaires pour débarquer en toute tranquillité dans cet écrin de nature montagnarde paradisiaque. A 2200 mètres d'altitude, le First offre des panoramas étourdissants, notamment une vue imprenable sur sept 4000 des Alpes bernoises.
En une petite heure de marche à travers pâturages et chemins pédestres bucoliques, vous atteignez le superbe lac Bachalpsee et ses eaux cristallines. De tous les côtés, des points de vue pittoresques. Inoubliable ascension. Pour un peu de culture, passez donc la nuit au Berghotel Faulhorn, le plus ancien hôtel de montagne de Suisse!
Der First ist eine Verflachung des Südwest-Rückens zum Widderfeldgrätli (2'632 m ü. M.) im Berner Oberland nördlich oberhalb von Grindelwald. Er ist über eine Gondelbahn oder zu Fuss erreichbar. Die obere Bergstation heisst ebenfalls First (2'167 m ü. M.) und steht den Besuchern im Winter und im Sommer mit einem gut ausgebauten Ski- und Wandergebiet zur Verfügung.
Besonders beliebt ist die Wanderung zum Bachalpsee und weiter zum Faulhorn, die ein spektakuläres Panorama mit Blick auf den oberen Grindelwaldgletscher sowie Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau bietet. Eine weitere interessante Wanderung führt auf das Schwarzhorn. Östlich von First liegt 5,6 Kilometer zu Fuss entfernt die Grosse Scheidegg.
Der First ist ein Startort für Paraglider und Deltasegler sowie Ausgangspunkt für zahlreiche Mountainbiketouren. Station First bietet auch einen imposanten kurvenreichen Schlittenweg, welcher bei guten Schneeverhältnissen direkt nach Grindelwald führt.

This was its favorite perch and would eventually return to it, after several tries I finally got it landing with a fish. Since it was distant it has a fair crop to the image.

Two turtles enjoying the day on the lake.
I think these are painted turtles; if I'm wrong, please correct me.

Hope you like the pic guys ...
The Bressanone (Brixen) Cathedral was built in 980. Eventually, after two fires, the Romanesque design with its three naves and two front towers was constructed (around 1200). A Baroque design was later constructed in 1745-1754.
The Bressanone Cathedral's cloister is one of the most important monuments of art in South Tyrol. The cloister is famous in particular for its Gothic frescoes. It was originally built in pre Romanesque times but later redesigned in Romanesque and Gothic style.
A cloister (from Latin claustrum, "enclosure") is a covered walk, open gallery, or open arcade running along the walls of a building.
The attachment of a cloister to a cathedral or church usually indicates that it was part of a monastic foundation forming a continuous and solid architectural barrier that effectively separated the world of the monks from that of the serfs and workmen, whose lives and works went on outside and around the cloister.

While staying in Berchtesgaden we also visited the small town of Hallstatt in Austria, only 1 1/2 hours drive away.
It's scenic location on Lake Hallstatt is well known.
While we did not have the best weather when we were there, it still was worth the trip.

Rila Monastery - the monastery was founded in the 14th century on the site of the hermitage Ivan Rila existing since the 10th century in the valley of Rila mountain.
Modern form of the monastery dates from the 19th century, when through the victims of Bulgarian society and with the agreement of the Turkish authorities built a huge monastery complex. The walls of a thickness of 2 m and a height of 24 m giving it the appearance of a fortified stronghold. The inner courtyard is surrounded by three-storey buildings with arches painted in black and white and wooden galleries.
The main church of the Holy Mother of God is a three-nave basilica based on a cruciform plan with a dome at the intersection of the aisles. The pride of the temple are frescoes and great iconostasis.
In 1983 the monastery was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Rylski Monastyr – monastyr został założony w XIV na miejscu pustelni Iwana z Riły istniejącej od X wieku w kotlinie górskiego masywu Riła.
Współczesna postać monastyru pochodzi z XIX w., kiedy to dzięki ofiarom społeczeństwa bułgarskiego i przy zgodzie władz tureckich wybudowano ogromny kompleks klasztorny. Mury grubości 2 m i wysokości 24 m nadają mu wygląd warownej twierdzy. Wewnętrzny dziedziniec otaczają trójkondygnacyjne budynki z łukami pomalowanymi na czarno i biało oraz drewnianymi krużgankami.
Główna cerkiew pod wezwaniem Świętej Bogurodzicy to trójnawowa bazylika oparta na planie krzyża z kopułą na skrzyżowaniu naw. Ozdobą świątyni są freski i olbrzymi ikonostas.
W 1983 monastyr został wpisany na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO.
I was looking through some old images and this one caught my eye. I love the mysteries of Maine's landscape and felt compelled to post this one:)
A seaside resort was developed by Sir Richard Hotham in the late 18th century on what was a sand and gravel, undeveloped coastline. It has been claimed that Hotham and his new resort are portrayed in Jane Austen's unfinished novel Sanditon. The resort grew slowly in the first half of the 19th century but grew rapidly following the coming of the railway in 1864. In 1929 the area was chosen by advisors to King George V which led to its regal suffix, by royal consent. Butlin's has been present in the town since the early 1930s when an amusement park and zoo were opened. A holiday camp followed in 1960 and this has more recently moved towards hotel accommodation with modern amenities.

I was asked to participate in the "Hope For Emilia" project and it was a pleasure to help. This is my contribution. More information about the project you can find here:
The palace in Jankowice was built at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and its reconstruction took place in 1803 on the order of Wawrzyniec Engestrӧm (a Swedish envoy alongside King Stanisław August Poniatowski), who settled in Wielkopolska. The palace was built in the style of romanticism. It is surrounded by a park with an area of 18.6 ha. There is a pond with 4 islands and a rich tree stand with 50 species (limes, plane trees, chestnuts, oaks and others).
The palace and park complex is owned by the Tarnowo Podgórne commune, which carried out a thorough renovation and revitalization of the park in 2018.

Pałac w Jankowicach zbudowany został na przełomie XVIII i XIX wieku, a jego przebudowa nastąpiła w roku 1803 roku na polecenie Wawrzyńca Engestrӧma (posła szwedzkiego przy królu Stanisławie Auguście Poniatowskim), który osiadł w Wielkopolsce. Pałac zbudowano w stylu klasycyzmu romantycznego. Otoczony jest parkiem o powierzchni 18,6 ha. Znajduje się w nim staw z 4 wyspami, oraz bogaty drzewostan liczący 50 gatunków (lipy, platany, kasztanowce, dęby i inne).
Zespół pałacowo-parkowy jest własnością gminy Tarnowo Podgórne, która przeprowadziła gruntowny remont i rewitalizację parku w 2018 roku.
It was nice running across this chatty fellow - - a Carolina Wren
I followed it along the trail for a few minutes waiting for a better pose - - I got a series of bursts in about 6 different positions - - this is one of the better ones in my opinion.

Foto wurde durch meine Frau aufgenommen, mit ihrer Ausrüstung -Canon 100-400 L IS II USM, Canon EOS80D - Im Eberswalder Zoo ist es immer eine Herausforderug gute Fotos zu machen, Viele hohe Bäume erschweren das Fotografieren, aber bei hohen Temeraturen ist es dort auszuhalten
while it was still dark we had gone to a simple bird hide to be there before the flocks of Meyer's parrots and African green pigeons arrive at the clay eating site at sunrise.
While we were waiting we heard some noise behind us and after a while we knew these were warthogs ( definitely safer than some other possibilities...)
The family of warthogs came closer and had picked up our scent but they had no clue where we were.
The huge male in this image was walking in front and stopped nearby to look in our direction.
You can clearly see both set of tusks of which the very sharp small ones are used for fighting other warthogs or for defense against predators. The larger ones are used for digging etc.

I was focusing on the head of the Eagle in its nest on the top of the tree to the left, when suddenly s/he took flight. I know this isn't a very good photo, but I was so thrilled to even get this shot.
So while I was cleaning up after our Easter ham dinner I dumped the leftover juice out by our rock wall. It seemed we forgot to invite our new neighborhood fox to dinner who couldn't resist the heavenly ham aroma and came by to investigate. I got my camera and when we piled out the front door she moved away but the smell was overwhelming and she came back for a few shots. She licked the rock a bit and then off she went, checking out the neighbors chicken coop as she headed to the woods. This is why it's best to stay in the coop area and not venture out into the unprotected yard if you happen to be a chicken. Still on the lookout for the kits.

...back to the countryside again...my heart is there, after all, and I was missing it! No matter whether it's real life, second life, and I am certain even if there was a third life, I would always feel like a fish outta water if I wasn't surrounded by trees and animals and natural beauty. Lil Chow was worn out after his city adventure, so he stayed home and snoozed while Shep and I scampered off to this dream of a sim to play! Okay, I was chilling out, he was playing!
On the way home, we picked up some fresh carrots as a surprise for bunny! I can't wait to see his cute face light up when he sees them! 💕🐇🐶
I hope everyone is having a beautiful week! ♥
October was the rainiest month in history in the Seattle area, which created a huge volume of turbulent water to roar down the falls.
Snoqualmie Falls is 270 feet tall and anywhere from 50 -150 feet wide. On this day it sure was at it's maximum width. The building at the top is the Salish Lodge, formerly the Snoqualmie Falls Lodge, famous for it's breakfasts.

This photo was from last year, when Clear Lake Goddess gifted me often with morning skies filled with spectacular and explosive cloud formations, so much that I was hoping to get a break so that I could sleep in.
This year, she seems to be teaching me a lesson by putting out hazy colorless sunrises every morning!
Maybe the spell will be broken tomorrow, or maybe not!
Thank you for viewing, my apology for not paying a visit to your stream often enough lately (I've been busy)!

We don´t see light we are light.
and we´re spreading light.
Where light shines through
it´s something thin and fragile
But only that way can the light get in...
