Thanks a lot for sharing this 🥰

I didn’t go all the way down to Tintagel Castle. I just stayed up by the Camelot Castle Hotel and took a few photos of the view.

Maybe next time 😉
Corner tower of a castle-like hotel building with arched windows, picnic tables on green grass, and a bright moon in a clear blue sky. Large historic castle-like hotel building on a grassy cliff under a clear blue sky, with a few people and picnic tables in front. Coastal view of green cliffs at sunset with the ruins of Tintagel Castle and a distant stone church on the headland, overlooking the calm sea.

The traditional Corpus Christi street carpets, made from colored sawdust, flowers, and sand, are acts of devotion, adorning the way for the procession to pass, like a sacred path symbolizing reverence, devotion, and community 🕊️

A round Corpus Christi street carpet made of colorful sawdust, arranged in a stained glass-style pattern with sections of orange, yellow, green, blue, and pink, featuring a white dove with outstretched wings at the center, symbolizing the Holy Spirit. The carpet is placed on a cobblestone street, with sawdust scattered around the edges. A long Corpus Christi street carpet made of sawdust on a cobblestone street. It features a large red heart with an image of the Virgin Mary, wearing a blue mantle and golden halo. A rosary made of beads and ending in a wooden cross encircles the heart. Farther along the carpet is a golden chalice with grapes and a white host marked “JHS.” Yellow flowers and a green sawdust border decorate the edges.

Yesterday I was feeling kinda bleh. It was beautiful out, but I couldn’t find the energy to go. I’m glad I did. A simple choice that changed my day.

A cluster of pale yellow orchids (Cymbidiums) with soft pink centers blooming close to the ground, surrounded by green leaves. Tall Araucaria trees (Brazilian pines) seen from below, against a clear blue sky. They produce the "pinhão", which is known in English as the Brazilian pine nut. I adore these trees!! A blooming cherry blossom tree standing out against a clear blue sky with some green foliage in the background. Cherry trees are just so cheerful!! Close-up of a cactus flower in bloom, with bright yellow petals tinged with red at the edges, surrounded by green prickly pads and unopened reddish buds.

Hi Rick 🙋‍♀️

I was going through my photos and remembered saving this post of yours. I finally found the photo I was looking for (it's an old one)! I thought the moth had a pattern like your ladybird's, but it's more like a leopard one. This is the tiger moth:

I came across this #vibrant garden corner in the countryside last weekend, and it instantly lifted my spirits 🌸

Touch-me-nots are called 'Maria-sem-vergonha' in Portuguese, which means 'Shameless Marys' (check alt text) 😊

Colorful garden with vibrant bougainvillea in full bloom above a flower bed filled with pink, red, and white touch-me-nots. Touch-me-nots are known as "Maria-sem-vergonha" (Shameless Marys) in Brazil because it grows boldly and abundantly almost anywhere, without 'shame', and 'Maria' is a very common Brazilian name. It’s an affectionate, humorous way to describe the flower’s resilience and beauty.
