Would you go? The above excerpt is from my new poem 'Another World' which can be found on the new page 'Spiritual Flame' on my website. [See below for link].
One day the light came streaming in with such force I was so tempted.
Could I just step through?

This elephant at the Rochester Seneca Park Zoo made it a point to come over and look at me when I walked by to take her photo.
Taken at Swansea Barrage on my way home from a walk to the beach last week. The trees floating on their raft reminded me of the Lone Tree at Llyn Padarn in North Wales so had to stop and get a shot in the fading light. I think it is Swansea's answer to the iconic tree! The raft used to be tied up near a wall which the ducks swans used to use for nesting but obviously it has broken free and maybe wants to travel and see the world! - yes I know I am a bit nuts!

I want to take a moment to thank all the wonderful people who have trusted me with blogging their creations, to all those who have given me tips and answered my never ending questions.
I have a very stressful, IT job in RL and by nature am an introvert, so I often don't think about all the blessing I have nor am I comfortable expressing my gratitude. I am also very shy about reaching out to my SL Community.
I have been loving Second Life since 2008 and it has never been better for me than it is now. I owe that to all my SL friends and supporters.
Have a wonderful holiday and may 2019 be your best year ever - Augusta
What is one thing the average driver can't stand? Well of course one answer could be a slow driver in the fast lane, Highway Patrol posted up in the most annoying spot possible, or maybe even that damn check engine light. However, the answer I was looking for was waiting for a train, and during this trip for the crew of a southbound, they would see three cars try to beat the train. One was a truck just south of Maxwell, which a buddy and I saw, another in Arbuckle, and then another here just outside Williams. However, this driver was particularly stupid.
Although my friend and I didn't see this happen as we were taking photos at the time, another friend who was one of the crew members explained to me what happened. As the train was approaching the crossing, a white SUV went around the gates in an attempt to beat the train, but then suddenly stopped. Although there was nobody in front of this car, whoever was driving then proceeded to backup almost into the gate, and due to the angle of the crossing got within only a few feet at most of being hit, narrowly avoiding an expensive and embarrassing trip to the auto shop. The crew obviously was pissed, and the conductor got out to yell at the driver as they passed by. It was only after the power had passed that my friend and I on the ground noticed the SUV, and we laughed knowing well that driver probably needed a new pair after that.

The reason for our recent trip to Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee…the Western Cottonmouth. Reelfoot is pretty famous in our part of the world for three main reasons: Amazing fishing (winter and spring only…it sucks in August), and the largest concentration of Bald eagles and cottonmouths in the Eastern USA.
I have been wanting to go back to Reelfoot to photograph the cottonmouths for many years now. This week my brother Gus and I made the 9-hour roundtrip drive and were blessed with two separate encounters. In this shot, we fired up the trolling motor and cruised alongside this beautiful adult viper.
I guess one's answered prayer can be another’s nightmare.

"Are you in or out?" asked the Great Egret. "Do I have a choice?" answered with the question of its own side-blotched lizard... :-) @ Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve
Can you guess what it is?
Answer: it's a vintage flower frog (see a more recognizable photo in the comments).
i will hear that number on the radio and
visions will pass through my brain
interpolating into the melodies
capsules in time
and if you call i will surely answer
—be it twenty years after we part—
i will ask you about that time and
we will laugh again,
you will remind me of what i used to know
i will think of you, fondly,

There is no such thing as to many street running shots!
Another view of Pioneer Valley local PV2 as I followed them up Water Street. After shooting them sitting on the truss bridge over the Third Level Canal outlet I still had time to drive up and around through the center of town and get in position for the northerly section of street running thanks to Pan Am's inability to answer the phone for more than 20 minutes! Finally on the move again the single geep is shoving two empties up Middle Water Street toward the Cabot Street crossing where they will swing out of the street and across the Third Level Canal bridge whose repair led to the reopening of this gateway.

In a burst of sunlight that lasted less than a minute, G539, BL33 and G520 lead 7901V out of Irymple at 1705 on Tuesday the 29th of August 2023. Barely 20 seconds before this train came into view, the sun came out and less than 10 seconds after the locos passed me, the sun disappeared behind the clouds, never to be seen again on this day. Of note, this train ran at a larger than normal length of around 1500m.
Trying to catch up my delay ... (which has become very big) ... but I need to post a new photo from time to time ...
Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several WEEKS later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs SEMAINES après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.
Photo prise près de chez moi, dans les environs de Strasbourg.
Dans la journée du jeudi 14 janvier 2021 et dans la nuit qui a suivi, il a bien neigé en plaine d'Alsace. Puis le vendredi 15 au matin, le ciel est devenu tout bleu, faisant en place à un grand soleil qui a magnifié les décors fraîchements blanchis. Comme j'étais chez moi (en télétravail), je n'ai pas pu résister à profiter de ma pause déjeuner pour aller faire un tour dans le bois situé juste à côté de chez nous et je me suis régalé pendant 1h30 à évoluer sous le soleil, au milieu de ces arbres et arbustes recouverts de neige. C'était MAGIQUE ! Le grand BONHEUR !!! 🙏😊
Quand je suis rentré, j'ai tout fait pour convaincre ma femme d'aller en profiter à son tour en début d'après-midi, avant d'aller faire les courses. Elle a beaucoup hésité mais devant mon insistance, elle m'a imité et elle n'a pas regretté. Elle a été aussi enchantée que moi par ce spectacle exceptionnel en plaine d'Alsace. 👍😊
Seul petit bémol, sous l'effet du soleil et des températures peu négatives, la neige fondait et tombait de façon assez soutenue sous certaines branches. Je devais protéger en permanence mon objectif avec ma main gauche et j'ai reçu pas mal de neige sur la tête. Mais ça avait un côté marrant en même temps. 😂 Et c'est aussi pour ça que j'ai dit à ma femme d'en profiter dès que possible, avant que les branches n'aient perdu trop de neige.
This strange, turkey-like, galliforme bird has a world distribution almost entirely restricted to Venezuela -- and Tobago. (It is not found in neighbouring Trinidad.) On Tobago it is abundant; its loud cackling "coc-eri-co, coc-eri-co!" can be heard everywhere along the forest edges in the early morning. The female answers the male at a slightly higher pitch. They hop clumsily from branch to branch, although they are quite capable of flight.

I have been thinking about my brother so much lately. We lost him a year and a half ago to an accidental overdose He went to bed and never woke up. My poor dad found him, but it was already too late. He was only 24 and a wonderful person. This song just fits how much I feel. I miss him so much!
"There are things you dont want to happen but you have to accept, & there are things you dont want to know but you have to learn, & there are people you cant live without, but you have to let go“
I made an effort to walk around the city in the cold after a long day, but you would not know it from the photos I took. Things look good on the back of a screen - but in the dark, and tiny, that preview doesn't tell you everything. Everything was out of focus. Badly exposed. Or the camera was moving (or all three, as is the case here).
Plus people were bothering me. Some young lads wanting to be in a photo. A man in a van who parked next to me in a dark corner of a car park and asked why I was talking photos. I explained I took a photo every day. Why? He asked.
This year we end the Seven Days of Thanksgiving series in Paprihaven on the day after. Why? While it is wonderful to have a day set aside specifically to acknowledge our impossible debt to God by expressing our gratitude, every day should truly be a day of thanksgiving. After the amazing celebration at the Simmons,* the girls are back at Tracy's house.
Tracy: Wow. So tired. What a great time. Thank you, God.
Buckley: I'm so stuffed! I'll sleep on this bench if I can't make it upstairs.
Tracy: Who said you're staying here??
Buckley: You gotta be responsible, Trace! You can't let me drive home in this condition.
Briar: HAHAHA!
Tracy: You're not drunk! You don't even drink!
Buckley: I'm loaded with tryptophan. I can't make it. I'm DONE FOR, offissaaAAaa!
Briar: HAHA! What's 'trippafan'?
Tracy: It's an amino acid in turkey that people say makes you sleepy. I think what happened is we all just ate too much.
Briar: I ate sooooo much! I looooved that corn casserole! Who made that?
Tracy: I think Honor did.
Buckley: Ooohhh, I'm gonna pop. Let's just all get in bed, under the covers, and tell stories til we fall asleep.
Briar: That's FUN!
Buckley: But y'all GOTTA CARRY ME UUUUUUP!
Briar: HAHAHA!
Tracy: Oh, good grief. I'm stuck with both of you tonight. Are you sure you even have homes? You're always here.
Buckley: Oh! Haha! On Paprichat, Sheila Harper posted a video of her poodle grabbing a piece of turkey from the table!
Briar: I want to see that!
Tracy: Can you not be on your phone for like two seconds? And, I want to see too. And, who's Sheila Harper?
Buckley: She's got that pretty green Jaguar? Always real shiny? **
Tracy: Oh, yes.
Briar: I wanna see the video!
Buckley: Then come over here.
Briar: Can't move. You come over here.
Buckley: Uh uh.
Briar: BuuUUUUCK!!!
Buckley: You're outta luck, kid.
*WOOF!*
Briar: Hey, Biff!
Buckley: The Biffster!
Tracy: Wow, what a great day. And now we're just chilling. Peace. Joy. Love. God is good.
Buckley: All the TIME!
Briar: All the time!
Tracy: And, all the time...
Buckley: God is GOOD!
Briar: God is good!
Tracy: Bible challenge, then we somehow struggle upstairs. God's loving kindness. Psalm 117:2, "For His lovingkindness is great toward us, and the truth of the Lord is everlasting. Praise the Lord!"
Briar: Psalm 63:3, "Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You."
...
Tracy: Buckley...
Buckley: Um... What's the one? "Please answer me God because you are loving and kind... and compassionate?"
Tracy: Close enough! Psalm 69:16, "Answer me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me." Okay, upstairs! Up!

God wants you to give thanks.
Well, Thanksgiving came and went. Did your gratitude last beyond your afternoon nap? For many, that’s the extent of their thanksgiving—a one-time, get-it-out-of-the-way holiday that reminds them to reflect on how blessed they are. Too often and too quickly, people resort back to being ingrates. But God wills us to be thankful all the time, in all things. That’s the point of 1 Thessalonians 5:18 where Paul says, “In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” So if you’re saved, Spirit-filled, sanctified, submissive, and suffering, you have one thing left to do in order to follow God’s will—be saying thanks.
Paul’s simple, direct command—in everything give thanks—allows believers no excuse for harboring ingratitude. In everything carries an unlimited requirement. It refers to everything that occurs in life. With the obvious exception of personal sin, we are to express thanks for everything. No matter what struggles or trials, God commands us to find reasons for thanking Him always (Acts 5:41; James 1:2-3; 1 Peter 1:6-9). That’s His will.
If you’re not obeying that command, you’re not following God’s will. Think of it like this: If gratitude doesn’t come easy for you, neither will finding God’s will. Or to put it another way, if you struggle with being thankful, you’ll struggle with following God’s will. Need some motivation? Here are some reasons God wills you to be thankful:
God commands it:
Gratitude should come naturally to believers in response to all God has done on their behalf, but because of our hardness of heart, God enjoins us to thanksgiving with commands (Philippians 4:6; Colossians 2:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:18). Therefore, all forms of ingratitude are sinful. Paul commanded the Colossians, “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful” (Colossians 3:15).
When Paul describes the believer’s Spirit-filled life, he writes, “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father” (Ephesians 5:20). God doesn’t merely command those expressions of gratitude and leave believers helpless to comply. He enables us to articulate them (Philippians 2:13), and is pleased when we do.
Joni Eareckson Tada, who was involved in an accident that left her paralyzed from the neck down, writes, “Giving thanks is not a matter of feeling thankful, it's a matter of obedience.”
Thankfulness acknowledges God’s sovereignty:
The single, greatest act of worship you can render to God is to thank Him. It’s the epitome of worship because through gratitude, we affirm God as the ultimate source of both trial and blessing—and acknowledge our humble acceptance of both.
With a thankful heart, you can say in the midst of anything, “God be praised.” That kind of attitude looks beyond the circumstance to the plan of God. It sees beyond the pain to the sovereignty of God. It remembers, “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). An attitude of thankfulness enables us to deal with those who wrong us, saying with Joseph, “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good” (Genesis 50:20). Those who are thankful see the providential hand of God everywhere and say, “God, I thank You for the peaceful times as well as the hard times—a difficult marriage, a challenging job, a severe illness—because I know You will use those things for my good and Your glory.”
The grateful Christian remembers that suffering perfects, confirms, strengthens, and establishes him (1 Peter 5:10). God wills that kind of thankfulness.
God judges ingratitude:
William Shakespeare wrote, “How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child. Ingratitude thou marble hearted fiend.” If Shakespeare understood the hostile attitude behind thanklessness, imagine what God must think about it.
Ingratitude is the very essence of an unregenerate heart, ranking among the most intolerable sins in Scripture. The apostle Paul identified unbelievers as ungrateful: “For even though they knew God [through conscience and general revelation], they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened” (Romans 1:21). Because man in his pride fails to honor and glorify God as Creator, he also refuses to thank Him for His gracious provision. Ingratitude betrays unbelief, and both sins bring about God’s judgment.
Although God is the source of every good thing that men possess—giving life, breath, rain, sunshine, and other natural blessings to the just and unjust alike (Matthew 5:45; Acts 14:15–17)—the natural man refuses to thank Him. In his fallen mind, to thank God is to acknowledge his own obligation to worship Him.
In summary, God wills our being thankful in all things because gratitude is the ultimate expression of a transformed heart. But thanklessness can infest and destroy a church, marriage, family and home. So cultivate a heart of gratitude. Be thankful for all things and in all circumstances. That’s God’s will. Are you following it?
- John MacArthur, adapted from God Wants You To Give Thanks
