Thanks Luis! 😍

Pretty Alina!

Do it! 🤣

Pretty, well done!

Looking over rocks at the beautiful waterfall in the distance, the water is a turquoise “Godafoss got its name from the year 1000 AD, when Iceland converted to Christianity. According to legend, a local chieftain named Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði symbolically threw his pagan idols into the waterfall, marking the nation’s peaceful transition to a new faith.” https://guidetoiceland.is/travel-iceland/drive/godafoss

A beautiful place on earth for Earth Day
"Waterfall of the Gods"
Godafoss is 39 feet (12 meters) high and over 98 feet (30 meters) wide

Photo taken with phone looking up at the Checkered Lily, it was swaying in the wind so it made the pic look fluid

This clearly shows the central green pistil and yellow-tipped stamens.

3 of them - all at different stages, one with almost no color that is closed, one that is closed with checkered pattern of deep maroon and one that is open

Thank you Rina! 🧡

Taken yesterday, some of the pink Prunus ‘Kanzan’ cherry trees are reflected in a small pond that has a statue in it. The pond is lined with tulips, people are walking about. https://www.bbg.org/collections/cherry_collection_FAQ Cherry Esplanade The dazzling finale to the cherry blossom season takes place on this open lawn lined with two allées of Prunus ‘Kanzan’. You may notice some younger trees among the 76 specimens here. Cherry trees typically live 25 to 30 years, and those that succumb are replaced immediately.

Reflection at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Enjoy your #Stunday
