Last week lots of Anemone (Anemone nemorosa) on the forest floor in Trondheim; this is near home, undeveloped area near a creek. This was tonight. The flowers close and bend down at night.


Some are a little red

Great shots, again! How lucky were you to see a bison?



Gorgeous day in Nice county.





Strange sight at a roundabout, can queen palms grow like this?





About an 1 hour drive away





Still a verdant spring green





Confluence







The road rises way above the valley floor to cross a canyon, offers nice views on the valley:






Should learn how to use a camera other than zoom in and out and press the button, or at least how to set the exposure correctly.





Red colored mudstone








Actually there's a village above the canyon!









And another one:



Spoiler






Lots of debris on this closed off road running through another gorge - the new one goes through a tunnel. Should've worn a helmet?





Or maybe a life buoy?







This is seriously narrow...





The sun is still shining way up above. Scots pines, again...











This snow isn't going away anytime soon.

I see you can walk again Meh. Your photos make my area boring. Though the first photos don't look that interesting for an city-scape while crowded.

How long was that bike ride? You start and end from home? Or use a train or car assist? You bother vote or too busy biking?

I just test drove, I don't think I could ride a bicycle up those steep roads with my atrophied right leg. I still can't bend my leg enough to cycle without any pain. The first two photos were just for the palms. I know that Alex loves palm photos. Crowded?

And yea, I voted!

I went to the Wichita Mountains with my family last weekend.
We first stopped in Chickasha to get gas.






After arriving, we saw a longhorn cow.


These are some views from the visitor's center. As you can see from the drops on the window, it was raining on and off.




Here are some views from hiking and driving around. As you can see, it was really windy.














I didn't try to walk to the overlook because it looked dangerous.


Some views from Mount Scott.

Wow, didn't know there were mountains near OKC. The vegetation looks a tad like here.

Nice photos everyone! I love the campfire one.


Had to bring them inside. No frost here this morning but down to a chilly 41°F (5C). They aren't even in the ground yet. Short growing season here. In 4-5 months everything is pretty much done

This is all I'm doing this year. Tomatoes and Peppers.





Started digging. Wont even till entire garden beds. Just holes where they'll be planted.





Love that Clay. lol
