Hmm. Post may be delayed longer than you think. Spotted on my way to a meeting, hence taken on my iPhone.
A male Common Goldeneye runs and flaps to get airborne in order to avoid the aggression of another male (signalled by vocalization).

This male cardinal perched in a tree aptly describes my approach to the 4th of July weekend. Sheboygan's South Pier district is teeming with visitors. The beaches are packed with people, large groups wander along the riverwalk, and the restaurants are teeming. Except on some local people, a face mask is seldom seen. It's as though the pandemic doesn't exist, even though the positive test case numbers are rising.
We're avoiding our usual outdoor haunts for the weekend. We will get together in my son's back yard for some fun social distancing and traditional Sheboygan bratwurst. While the city fireworks have been cancelled, I'm sure we will see some illegally set off by those staying at nearby Blue Harbor Resort. Laissez le bon temps rouler! (Let the good times roll!)
Stay safe and healthy everyone!
Fearless
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
-Helen Keller
After avoiding Badlands National Park for many years mostly because of its name, we finally visited the park for the first time in 2012. What a pleasant surprise. BNP immediately became one of our favorite destinations. Endlessly fascinating and beautiful geologic formations and plentiful wildlife keep drawing us back.
This shot may be a bit busy for some, but I like the layers and light...so here it is.
Not sure if I like this best in colour or B&W

Slains Castle is said to be the inspiration for Dracula's Castle in Bram Stoker's novel. Bram Stoker used to holiday at nearby Cruden Bay and went for walks to the castle.
The castle was a home (home of the Earls of Errol who were the chiefs of the Clan Hay) until the 1920s when the roof was removed to avoid paying tax.
Hurley House, Cotton Gardens Estate, Kennington. Designed by architect George Finch and built in 1968.
The plumage of the Eastern Rosella is especially vividly coloured — red and yellow and blue and green and black. Despite this bold coloration, when rosellas are feeding on the ground among the grass or perched among the foliage in the treetops they can be very difficult to see, often seeming to disappear completely into the background. Despite their bright colours, their plumage is patterned so that it creates an extremely effective camouflage which assists the birds in avoiding detection by potential predators.
Excuse me, have you seen any ununsual ongoings?
Unusual? As in things I wouldn't want to happen? No officer, nothing of the sort!
But you look like...
Definitely not, officer! We're honest, law avoiding citizens!
Toy Project Day 1852
The spacemen squad is taking a surface tour in an appropriate verhicle. The characteristic canopy of the Bulb-0-US rover gives all passengers an excellent view of the lunar landscape. Benny was driving before, but a very avoidable collision between the back right wheel and a lunar rock left him in the passenger seat.
I'm very glad I could squeeze in a rover for this year's Febrovery. I've been enjoying the subsmissions very much, and I hope you have too!
I’ve been avoiding people long before the Coronavirus..
I am now in isolation, due to my health conditions I am a health risk. But because I spend lots of time by myself my life feels relatively normal. Only now I have an added bonus that my daughter is home from school, I have so much to be grateful for.
I’m so thankful that I am a photograph hoarder, I now have thousands of photos to play with, re-edit etc plus our garden is full of wildlife, so lots of things to photograph still and now we have more time to spend gardening. Life is good.
This photo of Dirk Braeckman can be seen at his exhibition in The Hague. More information will follow.
i'm trying to write reports.....but would rather be playing with my photos...
my head is spinning from flat-buying this week. I never realised how complicated it would be!
The fruit and husk of a physalis plant f22 / ISO 200 / 1 sec - the fruit is roughly the size of a cherry tomato and in this image it is backlight by a small flashlight hidden by the POV.
This is an image from last year that I re-processed in B&W for the Capture Oakville photo contest. The final juried selections were based physical prints and 2 of my entries made it to this stage (Iridescent Leaf was my other shot).
I hardly ever make prints of my images and I highly recommend taking some of your favourite shots and getting them printed at a good size (in this case 16"x20" prints). It is a very different experience seeing them physically in print. Your local camera club or camera store can probably recommend a quality print shop to make the prints (avoid the big box in-store labs).
This shot won a honorable mention in the B&W category and both prints are on display at the gallery of a local cultural centre along with 80 other photographs from the competition.
Overall it was a great experience - I learned a lot about the printing process and it forced me to look over my work for the past year with a critical eye.
Sunrise seen through the haze in Toronto. People with respiratory issues should avoid being outdoors for long.
People use their bicycles as their main means of transport in the Netherlands; they use trains and, less often, boats, too. So, one can see plenty of bikes chained almost everywhere, including the Nieuwegracht canal in Utrecht. So, much fewer cars invade the Dutchmen’s busy daily lives in the cities.
The skies may well be cloud-laden and grey; nonetheless, the sky’s cerulean, azure blue colour can still be admired on an outstanding bike parked, in juxtaposition with the autumnal hues of the fallen leaves all around.
Macro Mondays theme: Superstition
The “Evil Eye” is a human look believed to cause harm to someone or something. The supernatural harm may come in the form of a minor misfortune, or more serious disease, injury — even death. (Ref livescience.com)
According to the European folklore, you should always carry a piece of garlic with you to avoid the Evil Eye.
Anyhow, don’t worry! Even if you don’t favor my picture, I would never give you the Evil Eye! Or would I? 😉
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments
This buck did his level best to avoid me. When I first spotted him he was grazing in an open area in the hammock with a doe and her offspring from this summer. Rut is beginning yet he wasn't pursuing her just hanging out. Once he picked up my scent he slowly retreated into a densely covered area while keeping close tabs on my whereabouts.
50040 races through the Warren overlooking the many holiday parks on its way including Peppermint Park ( book me a chalet now ).
She was working the 1115 Plymouth to Manchester.

Evening biomass empties from Drax head back to Tyne Dock along the York avoider hauked by GBRf's 60095. How will this look in 2022? All is set to become vey enclosed around here as York Central takes shape on the left side.

To avoid the Bank Holiday crowds I opted to go somewhere quiet and out of the way, this little spot on the upper reaches of the River Nidd was definitely that.
These guys always return to the bay in the winter months.

"Through the looking glass, make a memory"
- Charlotte Reynolds
Where do our memories live? Experts say that there's not one specific instance in the brain for their storage. Instead, it seems that what we call a “memory” is like a web of data distributed for several places inside our minds. Recalling it is much more than to open a drawer and catch what is inside. It is a complicated exercise of joining, and producing something understandable, from a diverse collection of elements, stored in different rooms, cabinets and drawers, under various levels of availability - perhaps some of them temporarily not available, or not available at all. This complexity has curious effects. For instance, losing a memory is not necessarily an all-or-nothing, or permanent, event; on the other hand, our recallings are often inaccurate and incomplete, frequently biased, and sometimes false. Funny… I do not see any difference between this and the Cloud.
Trying to avoid me at all costs. Every time I got within a 100 yards of him, he took off like a shot. This went on for way over an hour.
The tornado like winds and the rain and damp and cold took their toll and I finally gave up and took the 30 plus mile ride home without getting a shot of him perched in his favorite fishing spot. Maybe next time, this match has only been going on for a few years now. Yes, he always wins. :^ )
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️
