Hotel Porto Santa Maria

Image by Porto Bay Hotels & Resorts Events
// Every January, after each Nativity Scene is dismounted, Roque Luís - the man who makes sure no inventory goes below stock at Porto Santa Maria - starts thinking about the following Christmas. He is the mastermind behind each year's scene and this time he came with a brilliant idea, but one we knew would require a lot more work and ingenuity to setup.
After four days the "Poncha Team" - as we call the members of the hotel staff that will always find an excuse to get 15 minutes off their work and come to help - made it happen.
You are welcome to come and see it live, as these pictures don't make it justice. Preferably after the sun sets and the lights shine stronger in the dark.

// Cada ano, em Janeiro, ao desmontar o presépio, Roque Luís - o homem das compras que trabalha para que nada falta no Hotel Porto Santa Maria - começa a pensar no projecto do ano seguinte. Ele é o talento que tem dado forma aos nossos presépios e este ano trouxe-nos uma bela ideia, mas uma que sabíamos que iria exigir mais trabalho e habilidade para realizar.
Após 4 dias o "Poncha Team" - como chamamos aos membros do pessoal do hotel que vão inventando desculpas para escapar 15 minutos ao seu trabalho e vêm dar uma mão - conseguiu terminá-lo.
Seja bem vindo se quiser ver o presépio ao vivo, uma vez que estas fotos não lhe fazem justiça. De preferência depois de o sol se pôr, quando o brilho das luzes é mais intenso.

Image by Karen Roe
The Chelsea Flower Show has been held in the grounds of the Chelsea Hospital every year since 1913, apart from gaps during the two World Wars.
It used to be Britain’s largest flower show (it has now been overtaken by Hampton Court), but is still the most prestigious. From the beginning it has contained both nursery exhibits and model gardens. Every year there have been exhibits from foreign countries as well as from Britain.
It is the flower show most associated with the Royal family, who attend the opening day every year.

Whatever you love about gardening, there’s something for you at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
‘Fresh’ is a brand new area that includes modern, inventive gardens with new design ideas, along with tradestands offering ingenious new products.

Her Roses Ripple Like an Asp
winter flowers pictures
Image by garlandcannon (on hiatus)
"The forest trees stand like a cloak,
a rosebush grows there in that brake.
She's wrapped around a massive oak
her flowers a sweet picture make
when stroked by wind, they tremble, quake.

Few have passed her glowing vines
without a quick-caught startled gasp,
such complicated intertwines-
her roses ripple like an asp
through thickset oaken leaves she grasps.

The winters come and bring their chill-
this fragile rose, snow can't revoke.
Instead, she blossoms fuller still,
the winds can't reach her petalled cloak...
she dances with a mighty oak."

Taken 3/13/2011 at the Native Flora garden. I love the twists and turns in this photo, and the bit of blue sky coming out in this otherwise monochromatic picture. In retrospect, I think the garden was open (unusual for the winter) because it was a very warm day.

Mom & I went to visit my 91 year old Grandmother in her nursing home today. She's had Alzheimer's Disease for quite a while now - who knows when these things start.

She was having a particularly good day. I took her pictures to see on my computer - that always blows her mind a little...

Mom brought Grandma a narcissus plant in a box that we could work on for a little while with her. She always loved to garden.

Merry Christmas Grandma!

Leonardslee Gardens, West Sussex, UK | Reflections of yellow flowered azaleas in still, dark waters of lake (19 of 19)

Leonardslee Gardens: Landscape Garden and lake views

For a few weeks in May of each year, Leonardslee Gardens in West Sussex, UK, erupt into a spectacular display of the most amazing color combinations of flowering rhododendrons and azaleas. The green, wooded valley gardens then turn into a place of vibrant colors and breath-taking natural beauty. Filled with the scent of the massed azalea plantings the whole area becomes a forest paradise. Visitors have often described its scenery and tranquility as being like ‘heaven on earth’.

This photograph, taken very late in the afternoon, shows reflections of yellow azaleas in the dark, still waters of a small lake at Leonardslee landscape gardens.


For many years, tens of thousands of visitors have enjoyed the picture-postcard qualities of this Grade 1 historic garden. Unfortunately, the gardens are now closed to the public as they have been sold to an international businessman.

Details: Leonardslee Gardens is a truly outstanding English landscape garden having a Grade 1 Historic Garden status (English Heritage Register). It covers about 240 acres (97 Hectares) in a wooded valley, contains seven lakes and is extensively planted with azaleas, ancient rhododendrons (some well over 100 years old), acers and camellias - all with a delightful under planting of bluebells in spring.

The great Victorian plant collector, Sir Edmund Loder (who gave his name to the large flowered and scented Loderi Rhododendron Hybrids) purchased the estate in 1889 and planted large numbers of Rhododendrons there. Sir Giles Loder later planted an extensive collection of camellias at Leonardslee. The estate remained in the hands of five generations of the Loder family until 2010 when it was sold to an international businessman. However, the Loder Rhododendron nursery was not sold and is still in business.

Location: Leonardslee Gardens, Lower Beeding, Horsham, West Sussex, England, RH13 6PP, UK. UK Map references: OSGB36 Grid ref:: TQ220259: Map tile ref: TQ22NW40

Links: A more detailed history of Leonardslee Gardens is available on Wikipedia. Leonardslee nursery is still run by Chris Loder and his website contains useful information on Rhododendron Loderi, its varieties and hybrids.

EXPLORE #79 12th October 2012.

Photographed by the Fish Pond, Pype Hayes Park, Birmingham.

An important winter food source for quail, pheasant, and grouse, but considered poisonous to humans.

The berries contain the isoquinoline alkaloid chelidonine, as well as other alkaloids. Eating the berries causes mild symptoms of vomiting, dizziness, and slight sedation in children.

Always in the search for the right focus, the passion of the photographer is un-ending! The power to see the perspective through the lens is a lifetime one, and many use Nikon! Which camera you enjoy?:)
passion flower pictures

Many passionate photographer use a Nikon, as we all know, but what about the company, behind the famous brand?


Nikon


Nikon Corporation (株式会社ニコン, Kabushiki-gaisha Nikon?) About this sound listen (help·info) (TYO: 7731), also known as Nikon or Nikon Corp., is a multinational corporation headquartered in Tokyo, Japan specializing in optics and imaging. Its products include cameras, binoculars, microscopes, measurement instruments, and the steppers used in the photolithography steps of semiconductor fabrication, of which it is the world's second largest manufacturer. The companies held by Nikon form the Nikon Group. Among its products are Nikkor imaging lenses (for F-mount cameras, large format photography, photographic enlargers, and other applications), the Nikon F-series of 135 film SLR cameras, the Nikon D-series of digital SLR cameras, the Coolpix series of compact digital cameras, and the Nikonos series of underwater film cameras. Nikon's main competitors in camera and lens manufacturing include Canon, Casio, Kodak, Sony, Pentax, Panasonic, Fujifilm and Olympus.

Founded in 1917 as Nippon Kōgaku Kōgyō Kabushikigaisha (日本光学工業株式会社 "Japan Optical Industries Corporation"), the company was renamed Nikon Corporation, after its cameras, in 1988. Nikon is one of the companies of the Mitsubishi Group.

Nikon Corporation was established in 1917 when three leading optical manufacturers merged to form a comprehensive, fully integrated optical company known as Nippon Kōgaku Tōkyō K.K. Over the next sixty years, this growing company became a manufacturer of optical lenses (including those for the first Canon cameras) and equipment used in cameras, binoculars, microscopes and inspection equipment. During World War II the company grew to nineteen factories and 23,000 employees, supplying items such as binoculars, lenses, bomb sights, and periscopes to the Japanese military.
