Whether due to an accident or birth defect, this urban (feral) pigeon (Columba livia f. urbana) is missing one leg. As a result it is only able to move on land by hopping on the other one.

Czy to wskutek wypadku, czy wady wrodzonej, ten gołąb miejski (Columba livia f. urbana) nie ma jednej nogi. W efekcie po ziemi jest w stanie poruszać się tylko skacząc na drugiej nodze.

I always catch my breath

And I’m still standing here

And you’re miles away

And I’m wondering why you left

And there’s a storm that’s raging

Through my frozen heart tonight

I hear your name in certain circles

And it always makes me smile

I spend my time

Thinking about you

And it’s almost driving me wild

And that’s my heart that’s breaking

Down this long distance line tonight

I ain’t missing you at all

Since you’ve been gone away

I ain’t missing you

No matter

What my friends say

There’s a message in the wild

And I’m sending you this signal tonight

You don’t know how desperate I’ve become

And it looks like I’m losing this fight

On a sunny day you walk past the park and they are empty...

No yells, screams, bangs and prangs.....

Just a sad silence and yearning swings....

As we are currently living in London there are some days that we totally miss home!

Here is a shot from our last Summer holiday 2014 in New Zealand only months before jet-setting to the other side of the world to live.

Where are you?

I don’t normally talk about my problems on Flickr, but I’m really struggling lately so I need to vent. I hesitate to even talk about it because it’s one of those things that unless you’ve been through it, it’s easy to judge because of a lack of understanding.

I”ve been dealing with chronic pain for 2 years now. It’s not the kind of pain that comes and goes. If only I could be that lucky. I hurt 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and have for 2 solid years. It’s isolated to my neck, back and shoulder all on the right side. When I open my eyes in the morning, I’m hurting. When I close my eyes at night, I’m still hurting. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat and cried over the fact that it never lets up. Nothing relieves it. Nothing. I’ve seen numerous doctors, been through test after test, tried numerous therapies both traditional and alternative, but still can’t get a clear diagnosis or any relief. This week I’m scheduled to go to a pain specialist for a diagnostic procedure, but even he doesn’t sound hopeful.

I’ve become an expert at hiding this. I smile, laugh and carry on with my life only to come home at night exhausted from fighting it. I’ve yet to miss a day of work because of it. 99% of the people I come in contact with everyday have no clue what’s going on.

This week is just a bad week. It’s one of those weeks where I’m tired of being strong.

That being said, if it wouldn’t have been for photography, I don’t know where I’d be with this right now. It has truly saved me and continues to do so. When my camera’s in my hand, I almost forget about the pain. Almost. It brings me so much joy.

So the title of this photo is very fitting for me. I’m truly missing me right now because that’s what chronic pain does, it takes pieces of you bit by bit.

But I’m a fighter and I”ll keep fighting. Because a part of me still believes that someday, someone will figure this out and fix me.

CN 5558 leads CN 331 under the signals at Brantford. With most SD60F's in storage currently I have to go back into the archives to see these beauties.

I think I located that load of firewood you were waiting for. Abandoned vehicle along Primrose Road north of Seward, Alaska.

I hate to regret things, but, I really miss some of the lenses which I sold thinking I don’t need them.

A mellow Saturday after a very busy week and I am missing you. Parts of me are gone when you are not here.

This boat was flipped upright when we first arrived, and once we were about to leave, i went over and saw that it had flipped upside down. The water had risen a lot in the 2 hours that we were there.

Milky Way from Sunrise at MRNP this past summer.

This is a 3-shot pano.

(You'll notice the climbers' headlamps as they are making their way to summit before daybreak.)

I was going thru some slide scans and came upon some Conrail stuff.. It started to occur to me that Conrail has now been gone MORE years then it was alive (23 years)! I miss Big Blue, always a steadfast of alot of trains in the Chicago Terminal, you would never be disappointed on the Chicago Line (NYC) east of town.. Do we have a John Stanovich sighting here in the seat? Here I presume is ELBR tip-toeing into 1 lead at the east end of BRC's Clearing Yard at Hayford Jct, on a beautiful late summer afternoon in 96.. Conrail would last but 2.5 years and be dissolved on May 31st 1999 - 26 years and 9 months ago...
