Happy Monday! I arrived on scene late for the first sunrise of winter when the sun was already high above the horizon, but as a reward the shimmer was super-wide and beautifully even. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Good morning. Happy Tuesday!
Using our obstacles, strengthening unyielding growth is a must.
Adaptation, our roots given relentless grip, forges the true power, in us.
Have a great day, my friends.

In this land, let peace arise.
Beneath the vast and open skies.
No war to cast a fearful shade.
Just love and hope that never fade.

This is 'a trail to The Cascada de los Duendes, located in Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi. Trailhead is near the Seccional Lago Gutiérrez park ranger station, accessed from Villa Los Coihues. It’s an easy, family-friendly 400-meter trail through a coihue forest along the Pescadero creek.'

On this narrow bridge the forest leans in to listen,
water speaks in broken silver over the stones.
I cross, carrying your absence like a warm seed in my pocket...

Fiery-throated Hummingbird (Panterpe insignis): 10.9cm (4.3in). This is a medium sized hummingbird of the Talamancan montane forests of Costa Rica and western Panama. The adult bird has brilliant green body plumage and a dark blue tail. A remarkable photo taken by Alfredo Irizarry in Costa Rica.
