Church of Our Lady before Týn
Prague, Czech Republic
Oct, 2021
©2021, sarah beard buckley
"Close to the mediaeval merchants’ courtyard known as the ‘Týn’ (the word comes from the same root as the English word ‘town’), the gothic masterpiece of the Church of Our Lady dominates the Eastern side of Prague’s Old Town Square.
Building on the site of an earlier Romanesque structure, the 14th-century architects Matthew of Arras and Peter Parler bequeathed to the city one of its most memorable landmarks. The building’s most notable feature, a pair of extravagantly-topped steeples, was added much later: the slender northern tower in the 1450s; and its broader twin, to a design by Matěj Rejsek, in 1511.
In 1679 a lightning strike necessitated the rebuilding of the main vaulted roof; but the disaster must have seemed trivial compared with the church’s already stormy history at the centre of a Europe torn by religious schisms. A bastion of protestantism from the 1420s onwards, the church lost its golden Hussite chalice at the end of the Thirty Years’ War, when the Catholics replaced it with the glittering Madonna which still decorates the gable today."

Prague & Vicinity
Day 1 and 2. The flight was long as expected and I can't say I've ever been through an airport quite like Frankfurt. The triple scans and security has to be among the best in the world. Needless to say, I was glad to get out of there.
Prague is very beautiful and reminds me of other old European cities. I would say the architecture is among the best I've seen. I will post more pics as I have time.

Ruby Throated Hummingbird (female)
9.29.2021
©2021. sarah beard buckley
"Like all hummingbirds, ruby-throats are precision flyers with the ability to fly full out and stop in an instant, hang motionless in midair, and adjust their position up, down, sideways, and backwards with minute control. They dart between nectar sources with fast, straight flights or sit on a small twig keeping a lookout, bill waving back and forth as the bird looks around. Male Ruby-throated Hummingbirds aggressively defend flowers and feeders, leading to spectacular chases and dogfights, and occasional jabs with the beak. They typically yield to larger hummingbird species (in Mexico) and to the notoriously aggressive Rufous Hummingbird. Males give a courtship display to females that enter their territory, making a looping, U-shaped dive starting from as high as 50 feet above the female. If the female perches, the male shifts to making fast side-to-side flights while facing her."

Common arrowhead – Sagittaria latifolia
“(Native to ponds, streams, and marshes, this perennial is known by its arrowhead-shaped leaves and white three-petaled flowers. This plant is also known as Duck Potato because it grows tubers that the ducks like to eat.
Native to swamps and marshy areas, this plant has a long history of use by Native American tribes because of the potato-like tubers that form at its roots. The common name "duck potato" refers to the many wild birds that forage both from the seeds and the tubers. Famed explorers Lewis and Clark first discovered this plant at Oregon's Willamette River, noting that it was a valued source of food. The genus name "sagittaria" means "arrow-shaped" in reference to the leaves, while the species name "latifolia" means "wide-leaved.")”Everwild Farm
