We've just had to replace my OH's phone because his phone only did 4G data, not 4G data and voice. The 3G network is being repurposed here for 5G and that meant his phone would not be able to make any calls. The deadline has already been extended once to the end of August 2024... so he now had a better phone with a better camera than I do. It's the camera bit in most annoyed about. He can't take decent photos for the life of him.

That’s simply stunning!

I absolutely agree. Impressive, very beautiful and, I imagine, very peaceful.

Far from peaceful here as it hit midnight they went bananas. The Spanish really know how to celebrate life

The view from my bedroom window last night, well technically the early hours of this morning.

There were plenty more but I didn't grab my phone until then end, first time I've actually enjoyed fireworks!

I think they're celebrating the beginning of the summer season here because there's no official holiday national or regional listed but then they do seem to break into party mode at the drop of a hat so who knows!

A little bit of a sunset. I didn't linger long because I was studying online and it was only 4°C outside but it was time to do the daily head count for the chooks.

I caught this cheeky little guy yesterday munching on fallen flowers from my hanging basket:

The rabbits did push two of my flowerpots over to get to the blossoms, but I think it scared them enough that they’re now happy to leave them alone, and the flowers have perked right back up.

An aromatic herbs public park in my neighbourhood. What a good idea!

Walnut on a walnut tree, in the students' dormitory yard nearby.
Somehow, it never ceases to amaze me, to see nature's gifts.

You’d be perpetually amazed at my backyard - we have a dozen or more of those along the property line and most folks here consider them a nuisance!

It's pretty wild, isn't it? How even in the most ordinary, everyday places - like a college dorm, for example - you can stumble upon these little reminders of nature's generosity and beauty. It's kind of amazing when you think about it.

you can stumble upon these little reminders of nature's generosity and beauty.

Exactly! You said it very beautifully!
It also reminded me of my amazement to see gorgeous, perfect poppy flowers, right beside a train rail...literally, underneath the rail...they sprang up!
And millions of other examples, for sure...

Hauntingly beautiful.
We went for a coffee outdoors and took it to the nearby lake.

Walking back on foot from the mall, I noticed this fairy tale tree.

My Plant app tells me it is" Albizia julibrissin", it may seem misspelled, but it is not, its Latin name. Locally apparently it is called Silky acacia.

In one direction it was raining and I had a huge rainbow (height wise).

In the other direction, I had a sunset.

Really glad I got to see the exhibition and get to know about the painter.

A resting station with a catalogue, a giant slide that actually reopens today in the back part of the Museum, and in the background of the area shot, you can see the mountain we've hiked on.
