C’è un momento in ciascuna alba in cui la luce è come sospesa; un istante magico dove tutto può succedere. La creazione trattiene il suo respiro.

(Douglas Adams)

Nel cuore della Maremma Livornese, la Costa degli Etruschi in Toscana, c'è Rosignano Marittimo.

Sunrise, anything can happen

There is a moment in every sunrise when the light is suspended; a magical moment in which anything can happen. Creation holds its breath.

(Douglas Adams)

In the heart of the Maremma Livornese, the Etruscan Coast in Tuscany, there is Rosignano Marittimo.

A curious squirrel wondering if I have something to eat :)

"I might as well be in a garden

I said, ah

A smell in the air is a dripping rose

(You could be the one for me)

Another soul to meet my void then

Of anything bare that's made of gold

A physical kiss is nothing without it

And you close your eyes to see what it's done

The body that lies is built up on looking

Cause all that remains before it's begun"

- Chet Faker, Gold

Anything goes for 2021 - Macro

This little purple flower and I thought we would make an appearance. I can't speak for the flower but I am still seeking out my mojo.

I have no idea what the flower is, I found it at Wrest Park on my recent visit, I thought it was rather beautiful.

Since I am not on Flickr much lately, it's unlikely I will be able to catch up with all the photos you have posted but I will certainly attempt to catch up with your most recent ones.

I originally posted this one privately to our weekly theme challenge group, but several of the members suggested I post it publicly, so here it is.... very different from anything I've ever done before.

I had a hard time with this one...I had the idea in my head but couldn't quite execute it the way I wanted to. And of course, it was my husband to the rescue again - in the shape of his hand :)

I used a tripod so the camera wouldn't shake with the slower shutter in the dark room. I turned off all the lights and closed the doors and just used a phone flashlight behind his hand, which he is holding with his other hand.

Those of you who have already seen this and commented, please ignore :)

I had so many toys as a kid, Hence being the only child ;-)

This is a slinky that was a favourite in stairs and on anything escalating downwards.

Hope you like my macro shot of one that I bought recently but that reminds me of the one I had as a child.

Happy MM to all of you!

I've done similar to this in the past but took this and a few other photos earlier before we were called out to collect our grandson from preschool. He then wanted to go for a walk. Of course no self respecting doting grandparent could possibly refuse. It did mean I ran out of time to get another shot. HMM

Back later to comment

"It's coming. It's coming and it's coming for me. The dark shadow is intensifying. I can see it."

“He turned to her and said, “You mean, none of the things you said were true?” She didn’t respond. All day he’d been trying to work her up, to make her say something, do something, be angry at him, anything, any thing. She would not grace the culmination of all that life, all those days when she wished him… It was too late. She didn’t respond, didn’t even look up. She was thinking this pencil was the best one she ever had. Why didn’t she buy two packs. They were even on sale. She should’ve bought two packs. “See how softly it glides. There’s a kindness to it. Yes, there surely is a kindness to it.” She turned the top upwards and for a few seconds stared at it. What was she looking for? The kindness? The kindness in which the pencil moved? Perhaps, she was. Perhaps, she was looking for kindness. He turned to leave the room. He was still breathing heavily. She couldn’t bear it. She could not possibly bear to hear that breathing one more time. She thought of turning the pen and…

She said something. He turned around suddenly, “What did you say?” She looked back down at her paper. “What did you say? You said something. What did you say? What did you say?” She was working on the background now. This whole wall needed yet another coat. She was examining the plan carefully. “It’ll all come out together. It will.” She couldn’t wait. In a day or two if she kept at it, it’d come together nicely. “It’ll come together real nice.” She just needed to make sure the pencil did not run out. No, the pencil could not run out. He had left the room some time ago. She knew. She sighed and let out a sudden rush of air emptying those lungs forcefully. She just had to be careful that pencil did not run out.”

Today I don't feel like doing anything

I just wanna lay in my bed

Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone

'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anythingI'm gonna kick my feet up, then stare at the fan

Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants

Nobody's gon' tell me I can't, noI'll be lounging on the couch, just chilling in my Snuggie

Click to MTV, so they can teach me how to dougie

'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking manOh yes, I said it, I said it, I said it 'cause I canToday I don't feel like doing anything

I just wanna lay in my bed

Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone

'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

This was more of an experiment than anything. I am only a hobby photographer, my real job is an Engineer for the railroad. The wind was blowing these like crazy and I was seeing if I could freeze the motion and get a somewhat sharp usable image.

Gray squirrels seem to like the "three-point stance" used by certain linemen in American football, with both back feet on the ground and one front foot.

There is no royal road to anything. One thing at a time, all things in succession. That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly, endures.

Hi my friends,

Slowly returning and even more slowly, adding photos to my rather empty stream. And absolutely at snail’s pace, attempting to get round to visiting you all.

It will happen !! 🙌😂

A large duck, generally common and familiar within its extensive range. Males are distinctive with iridescent green head, yellow bill, chestnut breast, and gray body. Females are mottled brown with orange and black splotches on the bill. Found anywhere with water, including city parks, backyard creeks, and various wetland habitats. Often in flocks, and frequently mixes with other duck species. In North America, females can be tricky to distinguish from American Black Duck, Mottled Duck, and Mexican Duck where ranges overlap. Those species are all darker-bodied than Mallard. A good view of the wing can be helpful, too: white wingbars on the leading and trailing edges of the blue wing patch are bolder on Mallard. Frequently hybridizes with those species, which can be even more confusing. Any bird with extensive white in the tail or curled feathers above the tail has some Mallard genes. (eBird)

Nearly two weeks ago, I tripped and fractured my elbow. After a week in a sling, the surgeon let me ditch the sling and start using my arm cautiously. The arm is painful and stiff and I cannot do anything for very long.

These little mallards, still growing their wing feathers, reminded me of me today. Ready to go but held back by less than useful wings/arms.
