I love that picture :) [emoji173]️

Thanks!

Here's another...two weeks ago on one of the smaller rivers that feed the great Chesapeake Bay. This is just south of Annapolis, small fishing village of Galesville. We stayed on the water as sunset...and moon rose.

I’m off to scout Black Friday deals for tomorrow and to buy my TORTOISE a present. :)

One can't beat sunset or sunrise photos....add some sunrays, sparkly stars, scattered clouds, water or better yet a wave or two, coupled with some wild life, sandy beaches.... All very nice. Peaceful. Relaxing. Restful.

Here's a quick pix of our morning visit to Anastasia Island, Florida, last week.

"Do you know, like we were sayin' ? About the Earth revolving? It's like when you're a kid. The first time they tell you the earth's turning and you just can't quite believe it, 'cos everything looks like it's standin' still. I can feel it. The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinnin' at a thousand miles an hour, and the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at 67,000 miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're fallin' through space you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go........................That's who I am."

Me too. I have a pot brewing now. Would you like a cup?


Some of the best tea i have had the pleasure of savoring, was AzerChai with Thyme, first had in Baku, Azerbaijan. If one looks hard enough, it can be located beyond the Azeri borders..... The thyme is so subtle, and adds a nice touch.

Once upon a time, a very long time ago there lived a vegetarien saber tooth. He loved all the small and big grass eating animals around him and he don`t want to eat them. His favorite food was beetroot.....................

......Which he ate so much of that his hide turned purple. The herbivores grazed and frolicked all around him, and knew he would do them no harm. But the poor beetroot were terrified of his ginormous gnashers. so they got together and devised a plan............................

........They decided to roll around in stinging nettles, since they were immune to them, hoping that old sabre tooth would soon realize beet root is not to be trifled with. . . .

.....But they wanted to make sure the stinging nettles would go along with this plan, so they needed to send a messenger. Since beetroots live in the ground, they asked if any of the butterflies would bring their request to the stinging nettles. "I'll go!" said the Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly. "Great," said the beetroots. "We'd be very grateful if they'd help us out!" The Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly knew where the stinging nettles grew because when the butterfly was a tiny larva, it loved to eat stinging nettle...

...As an astute reader might have guessed, the Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly had a cunning plan of her own. (In fact, it was as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University.) While posing as a messenger from the Beetroots, she would deposit her precious tiny eggs all over the Stinging Nettles so that her larvae, when they emerge, could enjoy the same feast she once had. With that plan in mind, she headed straight to the Mother Stinging Nettle and her offspring. Unfortunately, two arrogant young butterflies, the girlfriends of butterfly superstars named Peacock and Red Admiral, had had a similar idea only two days ago and, to Mother Nettle’s horror, vandalized three of her more tender offspring. The Mother Stinging Nettle hadn’t seen it coming then, but now she was prepared. She asked the dandelion to send a messenger to the Formidable Mr. Wasp...

Now Mr Wasp was something of a hipster trendsetter. His gaudy striped clothing was designed to attract as much attention as possible and, naturally, he believed that organic was the only way to live. While the dandelion and stinging nettle fitted his ethos, could he be convinced that the Beetroot was worthy of his assistance...

.... But in real life every cool man has a wife that is much more cooler than him and often more helpful. When Mrs. Wasp heard that the beetroots need help he stung his husband with her sting and shouted: "When they need our help, we will help, or you will get no sleep until the problem is fixed, I promise you my dear ! "
So the hip Mr. Wasp ask all his friends what to do to help the beetroots and they have a good idea:

Since Mr Wasp and his friends Mr Bee, Mr Hornet and Mr Big Stingy Mosquito Thing were all stingers they had a lot in common with the nettles so all agreed on a cunning plan. They went to the local supermarket and purchased a couple of kilos of Cheddar Cheese., molded it into the correct shape and then painted it purple so it looked like a pile of beetroot....................

And the sabertooth discovered that he really, REALLY liked the cheese a lot! So he decided that forevermore he would mostly eat cheese, sparing the terrified beetroots! But he would very occasionally give them and the turnips a haircut by nibbling their green tops, which just tickled them a bit. So everyone was happy!

THANK YOU!!! :) SO lovely!!!! :)
"Listen! Question : Why do we talk out loud when we know that we are alone? Conjecture : because we know that we are not. Evolution perfects survival skills. There are perfect hunters. There is a perfect defence. Question : Why is there no such thing as perfect hiding? Answer : How would you know? Logically, if evolution were to perfect a creature whose primary skill were to hide from view, how would you know it existed? It could be with us every second and we would never know. How would you detect it? Even sense it? Except in those moments when, for no clear reason, you choose to speak aloud. What would such a creature want? What would it do?"
