Rousham gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Landschaftsgärten Englands. Garten und Park wurden im 18. Jh von William Kent (1685-1748) gestaltet. www.gardensillustrated.com/gardens/why-is-rousham-englands-most-influential-garden

Road block on the lateral road between Samdrup Jongkhar and Trashigang. After the end of the monsoon season there were still a few landslides to clear away and all vehicles had to wait until the Dantak road crews opened up to let them through. Bhutanese paint their Tata trucks with all sorts of auspicious signs- for a safe journey:-) Strassensperrung auf der "Hauptstrasse" zwischen Samdrup Jongkhar und Trashigang. Nach dem Ende des Monsuns gab es noch einige Erdrutsche zu beseitigen und alle Fahrzeuge mussten warten, bis die Strassenbau-Crews von Dantak sie durchliessen. Bhutaner bemalen ihre Tata-Lastwagen mit allen möglichen glücksbringenden buddhistischen Symbolen- für eine sichere Reise:-)

Sending you a hug, Andy, as light as a feather so as not to distract you from the healing process. In the PIP, a graceful ballet figure from some wild plants in my garden.

Today's Sunday Challenge is: Rim lighting. I found this to be quite difficult and took over 20 shots in the attempt, This is the best of a mediocre lot but at least I have some rim lighting on the sepals.

Today's Saturday challenge is: "Zimmerpflanze / Houseplant" Aerial roots are roots above the ground. They are almost always adventitious. They are found in diverse plant species, including epiphytes such as orchids. In the wild these adventitious roots absorb rainwater for moisture and use nutrients from decaying insects or leaves for fertilizer. I have had this orchid for nine years and pay it scant attention except when it is flower. It flowered from November last year to March of this year and seems to thrive on neglect. It only seems to flower every two years.

Saturday Self-Challenge: Zimmerpflanzen

Bon weekend salutaire.
