Moon watching in SW Portugal across the park from my window, Waxing Crescent Moon of 30 June 2025 looking at a typical apartment building in the style of the Alentejo region; usually painted white and highlighted around the windows and building designs with blue or gold paint and terracotta tiled roofs. 2 apartments are lit up behind the trees.

Closer view of the Waxing Crescent Moon of 30 June 2025 by itself shining bright, almost orange in the clear black sky of SW Portugal.

#DailyFlowers for you 🌱🌿

Happy #Stunday Sunday 🫶

I found these Turk's-cap lilies (Lilium pomponium) growing wild in Slovenia. I have never seen them before.

Two orange lilies, whose leaves are still so intertwined that they form little balls. The green stamens hang down below and have orange pollen. The background is black.

The disabled are the only minority anyone can become a part of at any time. Anyone could have a stroke, anyone could suffer life-changing injuries in an accident, anyone could develop a debilitating illness. An attack on the disabled is an attack on everyone.

These bridges are spectacular & you captured them at the perfect moments.

Peter Lewis @peterlewis55.bsky.social · May 13

Had 2 days in and round Lisbon, 2 on the coast, 2 so far in Porto and a day up the Duoro Valley. The weather was wet yesterday afternoon but we've been spared most of the rain. Today was dry after an early shower. I've been fascinated by the bridges!

Sonja Holverson @sonjaswisslife.bsky.social · May 13

Yes some beautiful bridges in Portugal. Good idea to make a collection of photos of PT bridges. I see you found the best sunset view of the 1 Abril bridge in Lisbon. Dom Luis I is the sunset bridge when the weather clears. Duoro Valley is gorgeous. I'll be crossing my fingers for sun for you 🤞🌞

Hi Peter. Porto is such a fascinating place. I'm down south a couple hours from Lisbon off the beaten track on the coast. I hope you're having a good time with lots of great photos. (I see it's raining today in Porto but the next). How long are you staying?
