Pikes Peak (on the left) is the highest summit of the southern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains of North America. The prominent mountain (14,115-ft / 4,302.31 m) is located in Pike National Forest, near Colorado Springs, Colorado. The mountain is named in honor of American explorer Zebulon Pike who attempted to climb it but was unable to reach the summit.

At Pashley Manor Gardens you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

My one and only chance to make this image because we are out of the fog season. Waited patiently for three hours for the fog to lift just enough to be able to focus the camera.

One of the most distinctive building in downtown Guelph is the four story Petrie Building, with its green painted wooden window panels and stamped galvanized iron facade. One of the very few remaining buildings in Canada with this type of facade, its exterior was historically designated in 1990. But the upper floors of the Petrie Building are vacant, and the green paint is there to cover long boarded up windows.

The beauty of Switzerland.
A wonderful and peaceful place in the Swiss alps where I can relax and enjoy the wonders of nature. Specially in autumn is this site more beautiful than ever. The larches are golden and the water is just like a miracle. Nature gives us all we need and more. Creation is a gift from heaven. The light was so special for a short time, that I never forget this unique moment.
Enjoy everybody.
Thanks for all your comments and faves. Very much appreciated.

Some birds, including this little warbler, appeared noticeably soggy on a wet, foggy day last month at Chicago's Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary.
Thanks to Sharon (& Wayne) for the ID on this bird as a White-Eyed Vireo.
A lone cormorant indulges in a little meditation as the other water birds prepare for another night on the lake. I took this at Wyndley Pool in Sutton Park, on Christmas Day, at the end of our walk with Zak. I do hope you like it, together with the music I've chosen to accompany my photograph.
