We consulted the port schedule before visiting Gerainger and picked a day with no cruise ship docking at the harbour for our visit. The village was still busy. It is, after all, one of the most touristy spots in Norway, but it was acceptable. We didn't have to stand in line for anything. All the viewing points weren't crowded. All good. Would I go to Gerainger again? Probably not. It's a once and done type of experience in my opinion.

It's not winning or losing. It's the friends and the people that you meet along the way.

Three people in costume, two are facing the viewer. The first one has large puffy red hair, with a tiara and butterfly decorations, and a hot pink dress with ornate 3 dimensional rose design. The second one has light green hair, with decorative spikes in semicircle, and same color feather shoulder/chest piece. Under that is a skirt with moss green and black vertical straps with metal details.
Two people in costume and masks. Both are in black and hot pink. Both are wearing black fringe face covers. One on right has a glittery black suit with pink fringe accents and a glittery black top hat with a pink feather. Very glittery black shoes. On the left side is a large accent of pink bunched sheer fabric longer than the person's torso. 

The other on left is sitting on concrete steps with hot pink body suit, pink and black tutu, black gloves, bunched black sheer fabric front that extends to long train in pink and black, curled to the front on the stairs. Very glittery black pumps.

The background is portion of historical building in New Orleans French Quarter.
Woman in costume in front of a crowd of people on a street. She is posing for the camera, and has a large disc headdress, blue and pink, with a light-blue fringed eye image, bright green hair. She is smiling with her mouth open left and right arms extended out and back. Her costume includes two detailed blue eyes covering her breasts. A phone is tucked behind one of these eyes. Below these eyes are vertical stripes in bright colors with included geometric shapes in contrasting colors, ending in hot pink fringe at hip level. The skirt is tight white with horizontal accents.


Last year, we took a week to drive slowly from Berlin along the "Balkan route" via the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia and North Macedonia to my husband's Greek family's house on the Ionian Sea. This picture is from #NoviSad in #Serbia, where, like everywhere else, we met the nicest people and spent a lovely evening. I always think about it now when I hear news about today's remarkable protests there.

On my tour of the Pelican NWR, saw these Beggar Ticks attracting butterflies. Previously treated as native plants, evidence (including DNA) is piling up that they are not. Probably just as well.

They are found in disturbed areas, such as the maintained trail I was walking on.

I hope these brighten your January day.

Close up of daisy-like flower with seven white petals that have jagged ends. The center reproductive structures are small golden knobs, some of which have opened up to small tube-like structures with brown bases. Two other similar flowers, one incomplete, are more blurry in the near background. The remaining background is blurry brown stems, sand and a few green leaves in the bottom left.
