#DailyFlowers for you 🌱🌿

Happy #Stunday Sunday 🫶

I found these Turk's-cap lilies (Lilium pomponium) growing wild in Slovenia. I have never seen them before.

Two orange lilies, whose leaves are still so intertwined that they form little balls. The green stamens hang down below and have orange pollen. The background is black.

#WaxingCrescent #MOON 30 June 2025 SW Portugal on a hot summer's night. #astrophotography

Moon watching in SW Portugal across the park from my window, Waxing Crescent Moon of 30 June 2025 looking at a typical apartment building in the style of the Alentejo region; usually painted white and highlighted around the windows and building designs with blue or gold paint and terracotta tiled roofs. 2 apartments are lit up behind the trees. Closer view of the Waxing Crescent Moon of 30 June 2025 by itself shining bright, almost orange in the clear black sky of SW Portugal.

The disabled are the only minority anyone can become a part of at any time. Anyone could have a stroke, anyone could suffer life-changing injuries in an accident, anyone could develop a debilitating illness. An attack on the disabled is an attack on everyone.

These bridges are spectacular & you captured them at the perfect moments.

Had 2 days in and round Lisbon, 2 on the coast, 2 so far in Porto and a day up the Duoro Valley. The weather was wet yesterday afternoon but we've been spared most of the rain. Today was dry after an early shower. I've been fascinated by the bridges!

Yes some beautiful bridges in Portugal. Good idea to make a collection of photos of PT bridges. I see you found the best sunset view of the 1 Abril bridge in Lisbon. Dom Luis I is the sunset bridge when the weather clears. Duoro Valley is gorgeous. I'll be crossing my fingers for sun for you 🤞🌞

Old Faithful geyser erupting in front of the Milky Way Galaxy. While difficult to see there is also a buffalo just to the right of the geyser!

Canada named third safest country in the world for travel in 2025 🇨🇦

“As travel destinations go, it really doesn’t get much safer than Canada. Violent crime is comparatively low and there is a low incidence of gun-related crime.”

I'm hearing that Las Vegas hotels are laying off employees in the face of Canadians boycotting US travel over tariffs and Europeans boycotting travel to the US over fear of abductions.

Nevada voted for Trump. You're welcome!
