Black birds nest

Long time I don't post something here...awww
Yes I miss my friends all the time visiting my post and making great comments :smile::smile::smile: but last weeks I was busy with my work, now I have a bit more time...not to much work that is not nice too.awww
But today I went in a place to make some photos for my 365 project a photo every day.:happy:
I found a Cherrie tree with some red cherries ready to be eat...I pick some and they was delicious.:happy:
In another tree I saw a beautiful nest. No birds inside so careful me went to see better, that nest was only about 1,5m from the soil, so it was easy for me to take some photos.
And here we have the beautiful nest with four green eggs.

Time to time I will take a look and bring more photos of the nest and his life... :wink:
I really hope no one find that nest and destroy, I hope to have the chance to take photos of the babies soon.:smile:
So let's see what will happen in a new post! :sherlock:

Photographing big waves...

, ,

Can you see a heart? Well for Pamela, my friend from USA it was easy!:smile::smile::smile:

From the top of the cliffs we saw huge big waves crash in the stones.
They seems small stones, isn't? You will see what sise they have when we get down...:smile::smile:

The first thought was going down to make some photos of the big waves...:D

And we start to going down...:smile: this is the view from the left side of the cliffs...:happy:

If we look back side this is the other view.

One more stop to photograph the waves...

Looking back we are a bit far away from cliff top...:D

If we look around we will find some wild life! :up:

A midle of the way down, there are a easy track...:happy: Just a midle, after that things turn worst...

Time to rest a bit and feel the warm sun! :happy::happy::happy:

In the top of the cliffs there are a fense, to protect people falling down...

Can you see a face man stone? This is one of the small stones we saw from the cliff, that one have about 10 meters hight! :smile:

And there we are down seeing the big waves. :happy:
Maybe those next photos don't show very well, but all those waves have more then 20 metres hight...



In the end we had a fantastic sunset, like he want to tell us to come tomorrow again for a warm day! :smile::smile::smile:

What would life have been like without colour

, , , ...

We are in a world where colours dominate our lives, from reading signs on the road to seeing if fruit is ripe to eat. It affects our moods - blue is calming - red can make us tense.

Svalbard Global Seed Vault

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is a secure seedbank located on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen near the town of Longyearbyen in the remote Arctic Svalbard archipelago. The facility was established to preserve a wide variety of plant seeds from locations worldwide in an underground cavern. The Seed Vault holds duplicate samples, or "spare" copies, of seeds held in genebanks worldwide. The Seed Vault will provide insurance against the loss of seeds in genebanks, as well as a refuge for seeds in the case of large scale regional or global crises. The island of Spitsbergen is about 1,120 kilometres (700 mi) from the North Pole.
