🧵Many first heard heard of Scarborough Fair through the famous English folk song, but it was once a major centre of medieval trade. Its origins lay in a royal charter granted by King Henry III in 1253, allowing Scarborough to hold a fair from the Feast of the Assumption to Michaelmas Day (today).
The illustration show a 15th-century manuscript illustration of a medieval market scene,

Sunset Golden Hour at Thulusdhoo Fishing Jetty looks toward the lagoon entrance through the reef. Three posts rising from the sea mark the passage. A liveaboard safari yacht anchors just beyond, with a smaller dive boat beside it. Toward the right, a smaller vessel sails on a sunset cruise. The sea reflects a purplish sky and a hint of red from the setting sun. Clouds fill the sky at every level. The light shifts from gold to yellow to light blue and purple as it rises, with red streaks in lighter clouds from the sun’s rays.

Good morning my friends, I hope that you all find something wonderful in your day! I encountered this Gray treefrog in my garden, I think he is quite wonderful! They change color from gray to green or brown to blend in with the surroundings, nature is amazing 😊! #frogs #naturephotography

This is cobweb weight yarn, about the limit of what I can do before I can't focus. The beads are size 8-0 and knit on a size 0 needle. I think I'll be able to make exactly one shawl of this material and I'm not going to give it away.
A finely knit shawl start, with iridescent beads. Pen provided for scale. I've run thicker threads through my sewing machine.

St Michael as 'Victory' and St Raphael as 'Peace', both 1920, flanking St George, 1905 at Nacton, Suffolk. The central figure is by Clayton & Bell, the workshop for the outer two not recorded, but may well be C&B as well. Today's the feast of the archangels Michael Gabriel and Raphael.

Photographer Carl Van Vechten took this black-and-white portrait of Anna May Wong in 1932. Wong wears a shiny satin top hat, a dark tuxedo jacket, a white wing-collared shirt, and a bow tie. She holds a cocktail glass near her chest. She wears a dark ring on her ring finger, and her nails are long and manicured.

A great egret picks up a feather that was floating in the water. A simple moment made more dramatic by the light of sunrise. For the #birdoftheday theme of #EFG #birds #egret #heron #protectnature #EastCoastKin
A great egret in silhouette.   The sun is rising behind it so the sky and water reflect an orange hue.
The reflection of the bird is clear as it picks up a feather from the water.  It quickly dropped it.

Last Wednesday morning at Paradise, I followed the Skyline Trail through some of the strongest fall color I saw that day. I liked how the trail curved through the red and yellow foliage toward Mount Rainier. Would you stop here for a photo, or keep following the trail? 🍂🏔️📷 #FallColors
A dirt trail curves through red, yellow, and green subalpine foliage on the Skyline Trail at Paradise in Mount Rainier National Park. Small evergreens dot the slope, with Mount Rainier’s rocky, glacier-covered slopes ahead. The scene feels inviting and calm.

This Zapotec effigy of the opossum man from Oaxaca dates to 500-800 CE. In ancient myth, the clever opossum stole fire from the underworld for humans. Because it carries babies in a pouch and plays dead, it symbolizes fertility, life cycles, and cunning.

Hello=) 💙Quebec City💙🍁At my friend's place-Pink rose💗-Floral beauty! Have a great day!=)🫶💕 💙Ville de Québec💙🍁-Dans mon Jardin- Chez mon amie-Rose rose💗Beauté florale! Bonne journée!=)🫶💕 #Photography #Photographie #FleurisTonFil #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Flower #Fleurs #PinkRose #RoseRose #Garden
The pink rose primarily symbolizes tenderness, gentleness, and sincere affection.
Pale pink: Expresses grace, gentleness, gratitude, and a tender or friendly attachment.
Dark pink: Conveys gratitude, heartfelt thanks, and deep appreciation.
White and pink roses have always coexisted in the wild... Hence, natural beauty =)

La rose rose symbolise avant tout la tendresse, la douceur et une affection sincère.
Rose pâle : exprime la grâce, la douceur, la gratitude ainsi qu'un attachement tendre ou amical.
Rose foncé : traduit la gratitude, des remerciements sincères et une profonde reconnaissance.
Les roses blanches et roses ont toujours coexisté à l'état sauvage... D'où cette beauté naturelle =)

Bleu says it’s time to get out and play 🙏 Happy Tuesday Everyone 👍👍👍👍❤️ #Montana #Goldenretriever Style 🤣
Bleu has paused where the rocky trail leaves the shelter of the young pines. He faces into a sunlit opening, his back turned to us, while the path slips through tawny grass and disappears among the trees below. From there, the forest climbs the opposite slope in a dense mix of greens, with a few pale, bare branches showing through the canopy.

The sky takes up nearly half the photograph. A long, wind-shaped bank of white cloud crosses its deep blue, while the pines on the right reach into the light. Bleu seems to have stopped at just the right place to take it all in: the trail ahead, the wooded ridge, and that immense September sky over his Montana woods.
