1OO FOLLOWERS

What a nice Easter gift - I reached today 100 Followers and I would like to thank you all, I´am both glad that you are interested in visiting me from now and then but I´am also very pleased to visit your Blogs and see your love for miniatures. Thank you all.

One of my favourite flowers - Strelitzia Reginae - they grow all the year in my garden

When I organized my first give away I kept one more silver jar to my 100 follower, I was awaiting and today I was surprised when I saw that it was my friend Sofia http://o-mundo-de-zaphia.blogs.sapo.pt/, may be you are thinking that it was agreed between us, but I assure you that it was NOT. Sofia has been retired lately from miniatures and she felt that her Blog was not being duly actualized so she didn´t want to appear in my blog, but now she has no excuse and I know she will be happy with this little gift.

I think I was inspired by Synnove and to make new photos adding cactus and flowers of my garden, thank you Synnove for the inspiration

In this photo I received an unexpected visit, it happens a lot of times, now I´m glad with the photo but I have to confess that for me bees are always a problem, because I panic if they are around me.

Thank you again so much for your comments and your visits to my Blog.

In which concerns the flower Strelitzia Reginae yes it´s also known as Bird of Paradise, and it is one of the favourite flowers of Colibri Birds, unfortunately they are not visitors of my garden.

All the photos in this Blog shall be mine.

In which concerns my miniatures all of them are hand painted, and that´s a work that I love to do, enjoy it.

HERCOLANEUM AND POMPEII

Hercolaneum was founded by Hercules according to mythological tradition . In 63A.D. the town was hit by a earthquake which attended all the Campania, and a few years later in 79 A.D. was devasted by the eruption of Vesuvios. When the eruption ended Hercolaneum was covered with a thick layer of mud (at some points over 10 meters deep). Abandoned by its inhabitants this town was never rebuilt.

The same happened to Pompeii, the reconstruction work that followed the earthquake was not yet completed when on August 24th, 79 AD Vesuvius unexpectedly awoke, submerging the countryside with ashes,, cinder and eruptive material, while rivers of lava mixed with mud followed down.

In 20 AD the Volcano was considered extinct by Strabone a geographer, therefore the population was taken by surprise and many of them were killed trying to escape. The eruption of the Volcano was so imense that the top part of the crater collapsed forming the present caldera.

This tragedy that lasted for three long days arrived to us through the letters of the writter Pliny the Younger to Tacitus.
Pompeii remained buried under a layer of ash with more than six meters deep preserving all the evidence of life by that moment, which came mericulously to light more than two centuries ago.
