I know this shot has been done dozens of times before, but I'm afraid I find it irresistible. This is the Towanroath Shaft engine house on the side of the cliffs in between St Agnes and Chapel Porth on the north coast of Cornwall. This is part of the Wheal Coates complex and the shaft was 600 feet deep - well beneath the sea. The engine house was built in 1872 and 138 people were employed at the mine and processing plant in the 1880s. Production was sporadic and the mine was never really successful although an attempt to increase production was made in 1911.
"don't be afraid should things happen to change
'cause change can be a beautiful thing
should things fall apart
be patient like a rainbow
life is loving and letting go..."
~Brett Dennen "Don't Forget"
Patience is a virtue.
... and on to other things! My fun fact for today ... people at work are so kind to share these things with me (oh, I'm so thankful.... lol!) Owls eat the heads off of pheasants and leave the rest of the bird. This is disturbing on so many levels... first of all...owls are birds, pheasants are birds... so isn't this... kind of... cannibalism? (ewww) Owls eat brains.... kind of like zombies. Wouldn't there be a lot more tasty meat on the rest of the bird... than the head?!! (Brains must be really good) Leaving the rest of the bird is kind of wasteful, don't you think? So, that became a discussion today... and then someone tried to explain something else to me and I had to admit to them... "I'm sorry, I'm not listening.... I just can't get past the owls eating the pheasant's heads... and then I had to google it. (the rest of my work just had to wait) It's true. I guess it's not really a "fun fact", is it?... especially not for the pheasants.
But...on a lighter note... it was warm today... and the sun was out... and the sky was blue!! No grey! YEY!!

"Laugh at the wonder of it all
Laugh so loud you break the fall
And you see the gathering clouds
Cry at the sadness of the world
Cry so long you break its cold
And you hear the gathering sounds
Do everything you fear
In this there's power
Fear is not to be afraid of"
Thank you very much for all your kind messages and comments on my last photo. We are safe and sound. The hurricane passed a little bit farther, so it was only a lot of rain and puddles, but no wind, at least here.
Sadly, there were destruction on the coast of the beautiful Riviera Maya. Now, Delta is approaching the coast of the Louisiana, Hope no human losses are given there.
A (happy) Monochrome Bokeh Thursday for everyone!

"When you see my head tilt to the side and I start to stare into space. I would run. The voices inside my head just gave me a brilliant idea. Be very afraid.

huge female giant ichneumon wasp (Megarhyssa vagatoria)

It landed on my trousers when I changed the battery. I felt afraid and expel it. But missed some more options to capture it! After that, it flown far away. See it for first time. Glad that I contrived to capture it. Because the insect was busy with something.
"I did not wish to break off this beginning of intimacies for fear of wounding her, yet I did not dare go on with them, knowing I was beyond my rights. I desired her, yet at the same time I was afraid of her love, unsure of what to do with it"
I'm afraid this might be another case of me imagining things... but are you seeing a flower rushing in full sprint to the dance party on the streets as well? 😂 I really hope so!

After you've been forced to change paths it's easy to feel lost, alone, and afraid in the darkness. Naked and vulnerable, exposed for the world to see and judge, all defenses stripped bare and left open like fresh wound, to feel anything other than afraid would just be bad instincts. It's okay to be scared, it's okay to feel afraid, this is when you should feel frightened, this trial will test you and try to break you.
Whether it succeeds is up to a number of factors, none of them bigger than your own willingness or unwillingness to give up. Other people may or may not be able to, or choose to help you, but no one will ever be a bigger factor than you will be for yourself. None of us are in complete control of our destiny, even the very most successful people have setbacks and take losses, but how we respond to those losses in the end is what defines us and determines if we spend the rest of our lives naked and afraid, or back in the driver's seat of our lives.

Non abbiate paura...
Lo smarrimento disorienta, la paura paralizza... Confusione e paura chiudono lo sguardo al cielo...
(dalle parole di Papa Francesco)
Don't be afraid...
Gephyrophobia is the anxiety disorder or specific phobia characterised by the fear of bridges and tunnels. As a result, sufferers of gephyrophobia may avoid routes that will take them over bridges or through tunnels. The term gephyrophobia comes from the Greek γέφυρα (gephura), meaning "bridge".
Considering the possibilities for crime in city tunnels and underpasses I suppose the fear is not entirely irrational.

The great egret, also known as the common egret, large egret, or great white egret or great white heron is a large, widely distributed bird. Was able to photograph from scooter buy along Sault at the shoreline of St. Lawrence River Canada. Several pictures: first a small image when it was eating a fish as viewed below. It then took off as it was afraid of me …..
DON'T BE AFRAID TO MAKE MISTAKES
"Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever." - Neil Gaiman
I wish health and happiness to each and everyone in 2017.
This gorgeous Great Blue Heron was a real poser. He was not afraid of people and as long as he wanted to pose, I was happy to take his picture. One of my favorite birds to photograph taken in Florida.
Many thanks for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Lotte has made herself comfortable in bed and is afraid that I would lie down next to her and take her place, which of course I would never do.
Happy Caturday !!!
