The Rose - La Belle du Jour by pmn-photography

Roses / by George Eliot You love the roses – so do I. I wish / The sky would rain down roses, as they rain / From off the shaken bush. Why will it not? / Then all the valley would be pink and white / And soft to tread on. They would fall as light / As feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be / Like sleeping and like waking, all at once!

wild and rare: lady of the forest by riverotter

Photo taken in Vermont in a local forest area. June 10, 2009. The Pink Lady Slipper, or Moccasin Flower, is a wild, rare and endangered orchid that blooms in Spring. Usually the first week of June these can be found in certain locations in the wild. This photo was taken in a pine forest area in Vermont. “Take only pictures, leave only footprints” – (unknown to me at the moment whose statement that is, if anyone knows the direct source, please let me know). / / “Cypripedium acaule is a member of the orchid genus Cypripedium. Members of this genus are commonly referred to as lady’s slipper orchids. First described in 1700, Cypripedium acaule is commonly referred to as the Pink Lady’s Slipper.[2] The Pink Lady’s Slipper is the provincial flower of Prince Edward Island, Canada, and in Nova Scotia, Canada it is considered endangered and is protected by law. If the plant’s blossom does not cycle through, it will not regenerate; for this reason, it is recommended that the flower not be picked. An alba variety exists which has a white lip instead of a pink one.” This information was taken directly from “Cypripedium acaule” found in Wikipedia online. Canon DSLR

Cloud play along Mount Ben Lomond by shaneran

FOR THE CHALLENGE “ART & MUSIC GO HAND IN HAND” IN THE PEACE, LOVE & TRANQUILITY GROUP music lyrics: / “This is Bliss” / There’s a blue sky, green grass / just behind the clouds and the snow / a must climb mountain , a beautiful valley below / an absurd blue bird finally heard singin’ his song / a cool breeze, warm seas, even trees humming along / a memory of a melody, beauty many will miss / simplicity some dismiss, so sweet and pure / This is bliss here is the link This is Bliss / “This is Bliss” from the album “Synergy” my daughter, Emily Tribe and my nephew , Jared Ripplinger put together in 2007. Jared composed the music, Emily wrote the lyrics and sings the songs …...(she also has another album in the works one with Jared and one of her composed music and lyrics) This was taken on a bright sunny day after a series of snow storms. The sky and the mountain and the clouds all came together to create this image. Mount Ben Lomond in Ogden, Utah / Ben Lomond Peak / Elevation 9,712 feet (2,960 metres) / Location Utah, USA Wasatch Range / / Ben Lomond Peak, just north of Ogden, Utah, is probably the most famous of the peaks in the northern portion of the Wasatch Mountains. A popular trail passes over its summit (elevation 9,712 feet (2,960 m)), accessible from four different trailheads to the north, south, and east. Ben Lomond stands out along the Wasatch Front because the mountain range appears to run east and west along the Wasatch Range, while most mountains appear to run south and north. Two miles northwest of Ben Lomond Peak is Willard Peak, with an elevation of 9,764 feet (2,976 m). Northwest of Willard Peak is Inspiration Point. A dirt road travels 14 miles (23 km) from Mantua, Utah to Inspiration Point. The road is usually not passable until July due to deep snow that resists melting due to to the area’s northern exposure. Atop Inspiration Point on a clear day, one can see Salt Lake City to the south, Willard Bay and the Great Salt Lake to the west, and the city of Logan, Utah to the northeast. From Inspiration Peak you can hike or bike to the summit of Ben Lomond, and then continue east to a trailhead on North Ogden Pass. The trail is listed as one of the top mountain bike rides in Utah. The distance from the North Ogden trailhead to the summit of Mount Ben Lomond is approximately 9 miles (14 km). Ben Lomond was named after the mountain Ben Lomond in the Scottish Highlands. Early settlers thought the mountain range resembled the Munros. The Paramount Pictures logo, known as Majestic Mountain, was modeled after Mount Ben Lomond. William W. Hodkinson, a native of the Ogden area, initially drew the image on a napkin during a meeting in 1914.[1]
