Pyrénées-Orientales 🇫🇷 France . In 66. That’s where🔹@marine.ferrieux🔹said this luscious photo was taken. When I asked what “66 outing” meant, she taught me that that’s a southern region of France—Region 66. . Pyrénées-Orientales, also known as Northern Catalonia, is a department of the region of Occitania, Southern France, adjacent to the northern Spanish frontier and the Mediterranean Sea. It also surrounds the tiny Spanish exclave of Llívia, and thus has two distinct borders with Spain. . Places of interest include: . Banyuls-sur-Mer, famous for its Grenache-based Banyuls wine, birthplace of Aristide Maillol. . Céret, considered to be one of the birthplaces of cubism, hosts several museums among which the Musée d'Art Moderne. . Collioure, considered to be one of the famous places of fauvism. . Força Réal, ruined mountaintop fortress. . Prades, site of the Catalan Summer University (Universitat Catalana d'Estiu). . Prats de Mollo, important defensive castle of the 17th century facing south to the Pyrenees. . Salses, important defensive castle of the 16th century, on the ancient frontier with Spain. .

QUEBEC, 🇨🇦 CANADA . Canada is filled with spectacular country and we’re fortunate 🔹Jessica Brisson /@po_ma_ka_fu 🔹 shared this enticing view. . Aboriginals have inhabited the Saguenay Fjord area for thousands of years prior to the first Europeans arriving. The first European to visit the area was Jacques Cartier, in 1535. Between 1628 and 1842, the Saguenay economy was heavily dependent on the fur trade. . In 1838, settlers began moving into the Saguenay region. Between 1840 and 1920, the region had a sizable lumber industry. By the end of the 19th, much of the forests around the Saguenay River were depleted. In addition to the depletion of the forests, difficult terrain and the decline of the lumber industry led to the Saguenay area remaining mostly undeveloped into the 20th century. . Starting in 1970, the Quebec government began acquiring land around the fjord in hopes of protecting it. In 1982, the government held public on the park's design and boundaries. Saguenay National Park was officially created on June 8, 1983. In 1984, the park was twinned with France's Cévennes National Park. In 1991, facilities were added to the Baie du Moulin-à-Baude section, while in 2000, facilities were added to the Baie-Sainte-Marguerite section. On April 20, 2011, the park changed its name from Saguenay National Park to Saguenay Fjord National Park in order to emphasize the fjord's distinctiveness of being one of the most southerly fjords in the Northern Hemisphere.

LOOK CLOSELY— IT’S WORLD LION DAY . Can you see her? Such perfect camouflage. . What a privilege to get that close to this young lion.

WORLD LION DAY with pro guide @jakotango in the MAASAI MARA RESERVE, 🇰🇪 KENYA . video: @jakotango . Throw back to a few years ago when I shared this but it is so spectacular it deserves more air time. . Plus, especially now, we need to help support the wonderful horse guides around the globe—however we can, by sharing for more exposure, or making a deposit on a trip—as they’ve been hit particularly hard by the pandemic. We want to make sure they’re still there once everything opens back up. . World Lion Day was founded by Big Cat Rescue in 2013, the world’s largest accredited sanctuary dedicated to big cats. August 10th is a day for people to come together from across the world to pay tribute to the mighty lion. Lion numbers have dramatically declined to the point where the species needs to be placed on the endangered list, just like its larger cousin, the tiger. . Lions—with the scientific name Panthera leo—are the second-largest cat in the world, just behind the Asian tiger, weighing between 300 and 550 pounds. . They face the dual specter of trophy hunting and a reduction in food combined is making them more vulnerable with every passing year. Over the last four decades, the lion population declined by fifty percent. . #worldlionday #jakotango #jakotangosafaris #maasaimara #kenya #leo #lionking #lifebetweentheears #betweentheears #conservation #stoptrophyhunting #horsesafari

CORNWALL 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ENGLAND Friends, do you know about 🔹@emmassingale🔹 Emma Massingale? Stop whatever you’re doing and follow her, both on Instagram as well as Facebook. Not only is she an impressive liberty trainer, see how she takes her herd of minis free-range camping on an island. And how she grass skis behind them. And how they pull her in a floaty down a shallow river (!) 😂 Really she’s as hilarious as she is talented trainer. What I wouldn’t give to have her as a dinner party guest. Can you imagine the fun?? .

SLAVONIA, 🇭🇷 CROATIA . Thank you 🔹@castela_horse_equipment 🔹 for this spectacular glimpse into Croatia. . The neighborhood we live in here on Vashon Island, was settled by Croatian fisherman—the family last names all ending in “vich”. . Two doors down from our farm, live Mr. and Mrs. Swanson, who have lived here almost 40 years. Mrs. Swanson used to tell us when they were new to the neighborhood, they woke one morning to a revision to the sign in their driveway. Instead of it reading “Swanson”, the neighbors made it read Swansavich. 😂 . Slavonia is also known for it's Djakovo Lipicaner Horse ( Lipizzaner / Karster ) breed, that has been bred in Ðakovo for centuries. . Slavonia is also abundant in cultural and historical heritage, unique continental architecture, churches, towers, castles and spas based on thermo-mineral waters. .
