For now, last of the Apollo (Parnassius apollo) photos for this year...
The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

Info from their website:
Grenada Distillers Limited the island’s best-known and largest distillery and one of the most interesting historical sites. The factory has been in operation since 1937, and is situated in the southern part of the island, in the Parish of St George.
When you arrive you would be welcomed by one of our friendly and knowledgeable tour guides, who would explain our history and all the different processes and stages of making our fine rum. You would learn of the distilling process from sugar cane, syrup and molasses, to rum, and also the aging, blending and bottling processes of making rum. On tour you would also get the opportunity to discover old steam engines, some dating as far back as 1886.
The tour of the factory lasts about fifteen minutes, after which you would be escorted to our Hospitality Center, where you will see our unique Barrel Furniture and an interesting display of the Clarke’s Court products. Last but not least, you are invited to sample our award-winning rums at the sample bar. You would be given recipes on different ways you can mix our rum and truly appreciate the taste of our fine products.
I guess a rum distillery is a must for any visitor to the Caribbean.
I had many shots of the famous Solfar sculpture in Reykjavik I wanted to take before my trip to Iceland. I normally have good luck on these trips but this time round thanks to very Icelandic weather I had to make do with this 1600 ISO dusk shot taken on our last evening during a short gap in a snowstorm.
I guess at least it's different than other shots I've seen before........

From Wikipedia : "It is a common misunderstanding that Sun Voyager is a Viking ship. It is quite understandable that many tourists think like this when travelling in Iceland, the land of the sagas. Nonetheless, it should be stressed that this was not the original intention.
Jón Gunnar was himself very ill with leukaemia at the time that the full-scale Sun Voyager came to be constructed, and he died in April 1989, a year before it was placed in its present location. Some people have thus suggested that Jón Gunnar conceived the work during this period, at a time when he might have been preoccupied with death, and argued that Sun Voyager should be seen as a vessel that transports souls to the realm of death. While this is a nice idea and might be imagined to have some validity, it actually has little truth (at least from the point of view of the artist). As noted above, Sun Voyager was essentially envisaged as being a dreamboat, an ode to the sun symbolizing light and hope."

Explored!!! Front Page! Thank you so much!!!!
Happy Scarlet Sunday everyone!!!
So I am working on a website and I would love it if some of you could pop over and check it out for me. It is no where near ready to be advertised. I have two sessions coming up, one with a baby and one with a family of three little girls. I also have a wedding on May 31st so I am hoping to fill it with pictures (of not my own family, lol)
It's a free flash site but I have the option to pay them to host it which will get rid of the advertising.. I would do that if I am happy with the end result. That would also give me my own domain. I am working on the about me page.. I hate writing about myself, lol
And lastly what do you all think about a name? I have had "blueberry lime photography" for a while now and love it but I wonder if a simple "sebrina wilson photography" would be better??
Any and all criticism is completely welcome :) I have never done a website before.

Editing to add: I have the option to play music.. what do you think? Good or annoying?

U Bein Bridge (Burmese: ဦးပိန် တံတား) is a crossing that spans the Taungthaman Lake near Amarapura in Myanmar. The 1.2-kilometre (0.75 mi) bridge was built around 1850 and is believed to be the oldest and longest teakwood bridge in the world.

Imagine your photo peeping through the blue sky to the Phewa lake
Pokhara, is one of the most beautiful city in Nepal. Pokhara is 200 km west of Kathmandu and It is also the starting point for Nepal’s most popular trekking and rafting destinations. The quiet, clean Phewa Lake, Begnas lake and the fish-trail summit of Machachhapuchhre is the popular attractions among tourist. Pokhara offers spledid views of Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Machchhapuchhre, five peaks of Annapurna regions and other peaks. Imagine your photo peeping through the blue sky to the Phewa lake. Try it, you will be amazed how beautiful your photo looks like with this splender view.
I could not decide between the textured and 'painted' or just the textured version of this photo - so I uploaded both. The other one is here

While the moon and Venus were setting in the west (yesterday's upload), Mars appeared just above the horizon to the southeast. At first it was such a brilliant red that I wondered if it could be a manmade object. But it continued to rise into the night sky, and its red softened as the light passed through fewer atmospheric layers. Mars is currently enveloped in dust storms, which may be giving it an extra-reddish tinge. You can see it at the lower left in this shot.
Meanwhile, Jupiter sat higher, regally, in the southwest (to the right), and between them the stars of the Milky Way were flung across the southern sky. But wait, another visual treat also sits there: Saturn, standing out from the clouds of stars in the Milky Way. It isn't as bright as the other two planets, but you can find it.
Follow the road at the bottom of the frame to its vanishing point. Now look above the horizon and slightly to the left - about a quarter of the way from the horizon to the top of the frame. You can see two bright "stars", the left one higher. If you were to draw a shallow, convex arc between Mars and Jupiter it would pass through this area. The "star" to the left, the higher one, is the planet Saturn.
What a breathtaking sight on a clear summer night, four planets in one frame: Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, and Earth!
