This grassy field has always been a beautiful buffer between the river and the train tracks that service the local waste management company that owns it. This time of year, wildflowers and butterflies are everywhere and it’s one of the highlights on this part of the greenway.
This week, I’ve noticed it’s suddenly begun to accumulate vintage fire and rescue vehicles. I don’t know what to make of it, but I hope it’s temporary.

A vintage white rescue vehicle marked "Greenbackville VFD Rescue Virginia" is parked in a grassy area. The vehicle features red and gold lettering and has a distinctive shape, typical of emergency response units. Lush greenery surrounds the vehicle, with trees visible. Greenbackville is a six hour drive to the very NE corner of the state, practically Delaware.
A vintage red fire truck with an extended ladder is parked in a grassy area, surrounded by trees. The truck has "Greever's Drug Store" written on its side.

Okay, I tried not to make it overly complex. Just a very brief cut and some music.
Here's the clip of today's walk 🙂

A stunning landscape is depicted in this image, featuring a road winding through lush green grass and trees towards majestic mountains in the background. The sky is a beautiful shade of blue, complementing the overall serene atmosphere of the scene. In the foreground, there is text overlay "Jachenau Wiesenweg"

Bitter Willow & Mountain Pine by the lakeside.

Close up picture of branches of a small bitter willow tree, with flowers and cotton-like fluff. The picture almost looks like a pattern of a kimono...
Macro photo of a single twig of a dwarf mountain pine with flowers at the tip. The background is a plain azure, the color of the nearby lake, completely out of focus.

playing prague | Prague City Tourism
Playing Prague is a game celebrating Prague and all those who have shaped and continue to shape this beautiful city. Every detail of the game is a tribute to the 1000-year cultural heritage of a city that was once the seat of the Holy Roman Emperors and the capital of the Bohemian Kingdom. It is also the origin of the designation of bohemians as people with a creative and unconventional way of life. Become a Bohemian for a while and build your own Prague.

This morning’s bike ride was beautiful, but it got more difficult when the pedal came off.

Hey friends! We just returned from a longer walk along the #Osterseen near #Iffeldorf.
We try to avoid any elevation to support my wife's recovery from her knee surgery.
The walk was nice, but the weather was awful for photos. Very bright, very hazy. As much as I enjoyed the walk…

A serene scene depicting a body of water surrounded by lush green grass and tall trees in the background. The landscape is peaceful and tranquil, with the water reflecting the sky above. The dominant colors in the image are shades of grey, with a hint of blue as an accent color. This natural setting appears to be a floodplain or marsh, creating a beautiful and harmonious natural environment. The image evokes a sense of calmness and connection to nature, making it a perfect representation of a p…

Gilt bronze mirror. The reverse is silvered. In the center is a large basin on a tapering pedestal.

At the right, a nude woman with her hair pulled back tightly into a bun on the crown of her head leans on the basin with her left hand and pours oil into the basin from a bottle in her right.

PNW life. Solar activity is getting fairly high and we have a beautiful view of slightly pink and green tinted clouds.
Not even going to bother going outside for this one.

Nice climb up the grade over Breckenheim past Wildsachsen to Bremthal, then back—woosh!—down to Auringen, through Medenbach, and across the multi-use recreation paths to Nordenstadt (home). Taunus foothills, greater Wiesbaden, Hesse, Germany.
#seniorfitness #nogym

I'm standing with my Canyon Endurace along a green meadow on a gravel road near Bremthal, Hesse, Germany. It's a beautiful late spring afternoon and about 25° Celsius. I'm wearing a phosphorescent-green "kit." My bike is deep purple (it looks black here). There is a grove of low-growth trees behind me and to my right. My angular late-afternoon shadow across the path adds an interesting touch to the photo. The photo was taken by a passerby, a man hiking with his female partner.

Happy #PrideMonth, everyone :BlobhajPrideHeart:
The past year has seen many changes for the worse, so I want to do my part and spread some queer joy and if I can afford it some money too.
In the meantime, listen to Hermes: Be gay, do crime! ✊
🎨 This beautiful Hermes on the run, dressed in pride colours was created for me by fellow bi-sexual bi-ologist @…

A coloured drawing of the god Hermes. He is carrying a bag of sweets and his kerykeion staff. Sweets are tumbling out of the bag as he runs. He is dressed in pride colours manifesting as winged sneakers in purple, blue socks, green shorts with orange pockets, a yellow and orange t-shirt and a winged straw hat with a red band. The slogan "Be gay do crime" surround him in soft rainbow colours.

Aphrodite is born from a cockle shell--symbolising the castrated members of Uranus--at sea. Eros or Himeros flutters by her side. To her left stands Hermes holding a herald's wand (kerykeion) with his arm resting on a plinth. To her right Poseidon is seated with a trident and fish.
