This is a picture of kids running through the steam spray at the zoo. It's a cool refreshing spray to help on those hot days at the zoo. The picture looks like the children are running into some mysterious fog. That's how I start most mornings. Have a wonderful Monday and work week everyone. Thanks for eveything! Hugs!

Sitting on a bus, waiting to go and see the African animals at the Werribee Zoo. Pit about the shadow on the cheek but unfortunately my photoshop skills don't allow to fix that.
5/52 weeks for dogs
Harry loves to chew, especially when I filled the Kong before. But he is only chewing on things he is allowed to. Except some shoes he never ruined anything. Maybe we give him enough.I found out he loves pieces of antler. They write dogs chew half a year on those pieces but Harry only needs a week !
The picture was taken on the balcony which is not cleaned yet but we already sit there when the sun shines around noon .

I went to the doctors yesterday and he seemed encouraged that I have some movement in my foot and leg. He put me on a drug called Lyrica to help the nerve. Hopefully this helps because the pain from this nerve complication is terrible at times. Please keep your prayers coming. I trust the Lord will listen and help me get through this. Thanks everyone for all your well wishes, support, and many prayers. I sure hope that you all have a wonderful Wednesday. Hugs and Love! XOXOXO

Lionesses are caring mothers who will even take care of a neglected cub, allowing him/her to suckle and giving them a chance to survive. Two or more lionesses in a group tend to give birth around the same time, and the cubs are raised together

The museum was founded in 1988 in response to people's desire for a place to preserve their artifacts. The first building was a chapel in memory of the one built in 1788 near the coast. Then the museum acquired and renovated a school (1880), a barn (1890) and a lighthouse (1912). These heritage buildings allow it to preserve and display the artefacts of our pioneers.

I will be back and forth on Flickr today. If I sit too long at the computer my ankle swells too much so I have to break on and off. I'll do my best to see all your beautiful photos throughout the day. I also have a physical therapy appointment and a doctors appointment keeping busy today. If I miss any I hope to eventually get caught up. . Have a wonderful week and thanks so much for all your prayers and support. Hugs!

Pleasant conditions allowed me to image last night's almost full moon. The moon was 99% illuminated when this image was recorded.
Pythagoras crater with its prominent central peak is nicely highlighted near the waxing limb at upper left. Tycho crater with its iconic ray system is showing well near the bottom of the image.
Subtle differences in colour and tones, due to mineral variations in the lunar topography, are evident.

26 February 2021: In the week to 22 February on average 2293 people tested positive each day in Belgium. The figure is up 23% on the week. In light of these deteriorating statistics the group of experts that advises the government stated that the present epidemiological situation does not allow for any relaxations during the next four weeks. I’m wondering what the latest say of the government will be. Will they be able to resist the mounting demand of pressure groups requesting immediate relaxation of the current measures? Me personally, I’m in full agreement with the experts: there is no leeway for relaxations in March. Since the figures started rising during the weekend, Ghent has reported the highest fourteen-day average for coronavirus infections out of all the major cities in Belgium. The symptoms with which patients present themselves at the hospital are generally more severe than in previous weeks. Additionally, patients are also deteriorating faster. Around half of the patients who tested positive for the virus in the hospital are requiring intensive care, and new hospital admissions are no longer mainly elderly people. According to a lung specialist at the University Hospital of Ghent, these symptoms are typical of the start of a new wave. Let’s hope for the best and prepare for the worse. Meanwhile, in between ongoing video conferences I’m finding joy in taking pictures in Ghent and surroundings and/or in curating images out of my archive. Today’s post is from the midst of this year’s winter snap, just over a week ago – Citadelpark, Ghent, Belgium.
Another avian image from today!!
This Egret remained perched close enough to allow this close-up.
Its white feathers contrast nicely against the brown coat of weed that covered the dam at its back - hope you like this!
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - always much appreciated!!
Have a splendid day and week everyone!!
Sandbank that's quickly disappearing as the tide comes in albeit rather slowly though only allowing me only 4 shots before it's covered by the sea.

The other day we went to a forrest close to my home and the sun was just shining and it was one of these days, there are made for playing in forrest; I had a great time with my friends because we went to into a special area of the forrest that is dedicated just for dogs and we were allowed to do what ever we want , this was a great time for us.

Another test-shot. Normally i place specific parts to create shadows on top of the build. This time i hung them above the build. Turns out that is a lot easier for exactly placing shadows. 😎

I've been very fortunate this past week.....three different dragonfly encounters on three separate days.
The shimmer of color on this fellow's wings was magical to see through the lens....

Excerpt from www2.hamilton.ca:
MEMORIAL ENCLAVES VETERANS’ PLACE at GORE PARKA
Series of Enclaves That Allow Reflection and Celebration of Service to Country and Community CONCEPT
Looking west through the pedestrian pathway there are 9 two sided panels each bearing a meaningful word selected through the focus group process which involved several community and veterans groups. Each panel has a main image and title on a coloured patch. The blue patch is taken from the shoulder patch of 2rd Canadian Division as worn by the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry in the Second World War. The green patch is taken from the 4thCanadian Division in which the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders served. Enclave Panel Design Elements. In designing the panels that will define Veterans’ Place and surround the Cenotaph, a conscious effort was made to, where possible, maximize use of the following elements. Traditional war service (First and Second World Wars) that is anchored by the Cenotaph and the classic inscription on it. Modern operational and peacekeeping service (from Second World War – Korea to Afghanistan and including the “Cold War”). Elements that reflect the nature of Hamilton as a Garrison City and Industrial centre. Use of images that portray where possible units and people that reflect Hamilton and the surrounding communities in Southwestern Ontario The changing nature of the Canadian Forces. The changing nature of service, sacrifice and remembrance from the era of the traditional to that of the modern veteran and their families. The maple leaf in badges and Canadian flags wherever possible are highlighted in red on black and white/gray scale images throughout the enclave.
INDIVIDUAL PANEL DESIGNS
Panel 9 – SACRIFICE. The main image is a reminder of the nature of Canadian Sacrifice in the modern era where, unlike previous conflicts, the bodies of our fallen were brought home to Canada for burial beginning their journey with an in-theatre Ramp Ceremony. This image shows a Canadian soldier on his way home to Hamilton in November 2006. Other images include members of the RHLI in 1944 performing an act of remembrance at the graves of comrades killed at Dieppe. Also shown is a depiction of the outpouring of support by thousands of individual Canadians for 158 fallen who returned from Afghanistan to Canada along the Highway of Heroes. Other images show the CP telegrams used to notify families of the loss of a loved one during the Second World War.
Panel 11 – VOLUNTEERS. For 100 years Hamiltonians have ‘stepped up’ and volunteered to serve their country and their community at home and around the world. The main image shows a group of the over 8000 sailors of the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve (RCNVR) who departed from the Hamilton station for Halifax and service on Corvettes. Other images portray women volunteering for service with the Canadian Women’s Army Corps in the Second World War and with the RCAF.
Panel 13 – HUMANITY. The main image shows the operation of pediatric clinic by the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan. Other images portray it in the faces of soldiers, sailors and airmen and women of different eras.
Panel 15 – HOMECOMING. Images of successive generations coming home from overseas. The main image is that of the last contingent returning from Afghanistan being met at Ottawa by the Governor General.
Panel 17 – COMMUNITY. This panel shows the evolving nature of community support from Second World War tin drives by children in Hamilton in the main image.
Winter allows me to enter into the deep forested areas of the Lac Leamy Park in Gatineau (Quebec) along trails that have been made by deer and other two-footed explorers. I would never have this chance in the warmer seasons because I would be either eaten by insects or entangled by vines and saplings. Winter has its benefits. The creek that I painted meanders through the forest and empties into the Gatineau River just past the small pedestrian bridge.
L'hiver me permet de pénétrer dans les endroits boisées profondes du parc du lac Leamy à Gatineau (Québec) en empruntant les sentiers tracés par les cerfs et autres explorateurs à deux pattes. Je n'aurais jamais cette chance pendant les saisons plus chaudes, car je serais soit mangée par les insectes, soit empêtrée dans les vignes et les jeunes arbres. L'hiver a ses avantages. Le ruisseau que j'ai peint serpente à travers la forêt et se jette dans la rivière Gatineau juste après le petit pont piétonnier.
Only in Spain would you be allowed to run round a town setting off firecrackers off in the middle of crowds of people. Saying that the Correfoc at the Festival of Santa Tecla in Sitges was a great spectacle to watch. This group were called the diables of Sitges and as well as the fireworks they were accompanied by a thunderous band of drummers. The quality of the image is not great but the circumstances did not allow for careful composition
From Wikipedia
Correfocs (Catalan pronunciation: [ˌkorəˈfɔks], literally in English "fire-runs") are among the most striking features present in Catalan festivals. In the correfoc, a group of individuals will dress as devils and light fireworks - fixed on devil's pitchforks or strung above the route. Dancing to the sound of a rhythmic drum group, they set off their fireworks among crowds of spectators. The spectators that participate dress to protect themselves against small burns and attempt to get as close as possible to the devils... running with the fire. Other spectators will watch from 'safe' distances, rapidly retreating as necessary.
The correfoc can come in many forms. Some are simple parades using fireworks and effigies of the devil. In Sitges, it is common for a crowd to line a street, while participants run through a tunnel of fireworks. Correfocs are run during the Festival of La Mercè in Barcelona .

Moremi Game Reserve
Okavango Delta
Botswana
Southern Africa
Botswana has the largest elephant population on the continent due to tight protection and civil unrest in neighbouring countries. The relative difficulty in accessing the wildlife areas coupled with the military threat to poachers has allowed the elephant population in Botswana to grow.
The Chobe River front was once only a part of the ancient elephant migration routes but with civil war in Angola and the war of liberation in Namibia the elephants fell victim to mass poaching.
Rival armies were killing elephants for target practice and to sell ivory for weapons. The elephants reacted to this threat by not crossing Chobe River, instead the Chobe then became the dry season refuge for the herds and over the years the numbers built up and the reputation of Chobe grew.
There have been incidents of poaching in Botswana, mainly rhino, but the government decided to set up a military task force in the fight against the scourge. Poachers were ruthlessly dealt with and the task force became a full-time anti-poaching unit.
The end of the war in Namibia, and relative peace having returned to Angola, the elephants have slowly but surely started moving across the Chobe River again. There are many elephants that have not had the experience of the migration routes and still see Chobe as a dry season refuge.
The Linyanti area of Botswana was once a hunting concession but in the past 10 years, with only photographic tourism being offered, the elephants are starting to return en masse to the region and Linyanti today is being touted as equal to Chobe when it comes to elephant experience.
Other areas of Botswana such as the Okavango Delta also see high concentrations of elephant due to the permanent water source.
...It allows us to experience the same emotions.
People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit.
No matter what language we speak, what color we are,
the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith,
music proves: We are the same.

Its been a gloomy week in Sydney, plenty of thick high cloud about creating a very eery feel to any scene. The only benefit of this is allowing me to create one of my favorite sort of compositions. That with Long exposure. For this particular image i sat the tripod in shin high water level for a 30 second exposure, causing the water to melt away into a milky haze.
You can get to this particular location by accessing Mrs Macquaries Road in the Royal Botanical Gardens and driving all the way up just before the road veers to the right.
Just be sure that when you get there you don't make the same mistake i did and misread the parking meter signage. $108 fine for parking outside meter times. Was the image worth it? you be the judge :)
