I think the bugs are Weevil lava but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Taken in the midday sun after earlier rain.

While eating dinner my wife and I have this doe come up to our patio looking for a meal, good thing I had extra apples on hand, so I cut them up and was able to get her some food, now she doesn’t run away when I go out to feed her, she just stands there and waits.

Detail of an old book

"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

Is anything prettier than the shade of an old Oak Tree... I don't think so.

I missed the concert but I made the hike. And, the hike was muddy but the day was gorgeous, so there's a balance in all that somewhere..;)

The bench is on the right..:)

a little frivolity for Christmas Day...wishing you all a jolly time!

I bought some pipe brushes (to clean pipes). I thought they would also make for an unusual subject to photograph.

I am not generally that successful at bird photography even when I have consciously gone out to see birds. This shot of the chaffinch was pure luck. Mary and I were on a walk recently I had taken a shot or two of some wild flowers . I spotted the bird and took a couple of shots without changing settings not really expecting anything reasonable. In fact I am quite pleased with this one I know it could be sharper but for a grab shot its not too bad . It is very heavily cropped

 

Hope you are all managing to cope in this strange New World we are living in . Of course I hope you and yours remain well and safe

 

THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED

 

This wonderful morning was giving me the feeling that i was walking straight into a fairytale story.

 

I've cutted the image to panorama view, the grass below and the sky above wasn't giving anything extra to the image. The space on the left is a bit more as on the right keeping the coloring from the rising sun. I doubt a bit for making the image a bit brighter but i didn't. This is how it was.

  

With having to stay very local recently I thought I would miss the emergence of this species, but last Friday I got in the car for the first time for many weeks and drove the 4 miles to my favourite Demoiselle site.

 

The morning was freezing with quite a frost, this made it hard work to find anything as all the insects were deep in the undergrowth, and as soon as the sun came up it warmed up so quickly everything was very active as soon as they showed.

 

Despite this I did manage to get a small number of shots, and also some great views of these beautiful insects.

🎼: Song for Someone~ U2~

 

You got a face not spoiled by beauty

I have some scars from where I've been

You've got eyes that can see right through me

You're not afraid of anything they've seen

I was told that I would feel nothing the first time

I don't know how these cuts heal

But in you I found a rhyme

 

If there is a light

You can't always see

And there is a world

We can't always be

If there is a dark

Now we shouldn't doubt

And there is a light

Don't let it go out

 

And this is a song

A song for someone

This is a song

A song for someone

 

You let me into a conversation

A conversation only we could make

You break and enter my imagination

Whatever's in there

It's yours to take

I was told I'd feel nothing the first time

You were slow to heal

But this could be the night

 

If there is a light

You can't always see

And there is a world

We can't always be

If there is a dark

Within and without

And there is a light

Don't let it go out

me: sometimes, what?

La Mer: nothing...just sometimes!

me: but that could mean anything.

La Mer: this is true.

I never bought anything at this second hand store but I always enjoy the assortment of 70's stuff.

For those who are interested, an extract from this afternoon's Journal entry.

 

"At 5 o'clock we were back on the road to Sousousvlei for the afternoon drive, along the way we saw Oryx and Ostriches. We stopped at dune number 45, I gave Ruby my Panasonic camera and she went off to take photos of wild flowers. I took close up shots of the sand dune and its environment.

 

Next we drove to dune number 47; this was a stunning landscape, especially in the afternoon light. We watched the sun set at dune 47, Ruby took photos of the sunset with one of my cameras, while I used another. Neither of us was interested in sharing drinks and nibbles, we were civil but an impossible gulf had opened between us.

 

I asked about taking a hot air balloon or a sightseeing flight the next morning. Ruby said I'd never get into the balloon basket and besides the next morning would be windy and unsuitable for ballooning. She was no longer interested in anything I wanted if I wasn’t interested in what she wanted me to do. She had also lost sight of the fact I was the client and she the guide. Her message was loud and clear.

 

Back at the camp we had Orix kebabs for dinner, tough as old leather and not at all tasty."

Pitched detail of the Hiberus Hotel under the early evening sun (Zaragoza).

 

Architects: Martínez Lapeña - Torres Arquitectos, Barcelona (José Antonio Martínez Lapeña y Elías Torres Tur).

Developers: Zaragoza Urbana. Palafox Hoteles.

This horizontal-shaped building boasts a construction quite untypical for an urban hotel. Minimalist in many ways, it looks pretty cold for my taste, yet it neatly fits in its natural environment, smartly protected from the strong regional wind and the outside noise by glass and concrete walls, which are different in size to provide a unique perspective. // Este edificio horizontal exhibe una construcción bastante atípica para ser un hotel urbano. Minimalista en varios sentidos, tiene un aspecto bastante frío para mi gusto, aunque encaja muy bien en su entorno natural, inteligentemente protegido del fuerte viento regional y del ruido exterior por muros de hormigón y vidrio, que tienen tamaños diferentes para proporcionar una perspectiva única.

Position does not matter :)

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 !! 🙌😂

 

Hugs and love xo

I haven't been able to post any pics on flick'r for a couple of weeks or more ... my pc's hard drive died a death and literally had no life in it, I just couldn't access anything. I'm sure I must have overloaded it!

I could have lost everything, but my genius son in law came to the rescue. He eventually managed to get into it and had to uninstall everything.

I'm very fortunate that his job is in IT and he took my computer home with him and fitted another hard drive for me.

It was a long haul, but now everything's working, except I'm having to go on different routes to access what I want sometimes because everything is updating - which is probably a good thing!

I've missed it so much ....

Meanwhile, I accumulated a lot of photos in my Olympus camera and this one is from a set I took of colourful flowers from my little garden.

I like to bring them indoors to photograph because it means I can take my time and try out different things.

The flowers are really strong colours and I thought they went well together with the rose as the star. I added a dark vignette. I used one of my craft cards for the base/background.

Have a great day everyone!

Baby thank you for being you and creating fun and lasting memories with me! I do, I do, I Love you!

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.

THE SEEKER

I am in a house, I know it well, but I have never been there before. There is no light, just me. The halls are empty, it is without life, without the things to bring it to life, no pictures, no tables, no chairs. It is a bleak house, dark, shadows, and even the light that seeps through the cracks, is dark. In the middle of the room there is foreboding, it is under the floor. I feel my hair stand on end.

 

I look to the door, the door, into which one must never go.

 

I stand and know that I can't run, I can't hide, because the dark of the house, is outside too. And I know it's time to leave, but I find myself walking, walking toward the door, the door that I must never open, as it leads to the room, the room into which one must never go.

 

I am sweating, I want to call out, I am trying to scream, it's primal, but there is no sound, there is no voice. I am unable to call for help. I try to move my arms, but they are frozen.

 

I am though the door, the room that vibrates with fear, darkness - something is moving in the secret passage, the secret passage that lies beyond the room. It is a narrow corridor, and I am bending to walk into the passage, and it leads to a room above the house, in the attic, I feel the cold, it is icy, and I fear for my very soul - I feel the negative energy that seeping into my skin. I am trying to shout, trying to leave, trying to turn away, wanting to run. A shape emerges out of the wall, it comes to me, draining all the goodness from me, and I feel terrible fear and dread, I want to fight it, but I am helpless, I am powerless, I can't move, but I know now, I must face it, I must fight for my life, and every fibre in me is screaming - and I remember .

 

I have been here before, and it is always the same, when the presence comes I wake up screaming and sweating, my pulse is racing. I have been through this many times before, and I am shaking and quaking, but I realize - despite these confrontations - I do not wake up dead, just terrified, and I begin to feel that perhaps, perhaps, these is no danger here. I have spent nights telling myself before I fall asleep that if this dream comes to me again, meet fear with love.

Now I know I was dreaming. I am out of the icy house. I am awake, lying in my bed. I am calmer now, I try to move, but nothing happens. I can't move anything, but I can see my room, and I feel a rising panic, and I feel the icy cold. There is someone standing at the end of my bed, staring at me. I am trying to scream and move my arms, to wake up, nothing happens. I see him standing clearly in my room, he has followed me here .

 

Now I will need to fight, but I can’t move, and he can, what are the rules in this situation, I am powerless. It is terrifying. Move !, Move !, Run ! Nothing. Then I remember “Do not get angry, that gives it power”. I stop struggling, start to calm down. He isn’t moving or doing anything, he never has, he just stands there.

 

"Hi", I think to myself.

 

"Can you hear me" it says in a sweet peaceful voice.

 

Oh that's great, he isn't even hostile, he’s doing his best not to terrify me and here I am like a wild animal, scared of the unknown, that's just great. He has been coming to talk to me, to give me wisdom -but his presence has seemed so terrifying , that he can’t even talk to me. I guess he has been coming and waiting patiently for me to meet him with love, not anger and fear. Well this is embarrassing.

 

I didn't expect a dialog, and I am now wanting to wake up. It's not fear this time, this guy had a very calm and gentle voice, but James Bond just climbed through my window and I sensed things were only going to go downhill from here.

 

Note to self, you got to do something about the quality of your dreams - oh, and thanks for the lesson in love and fear.

 

PS - The next day, many, many years ago - we went swimming with friends in mountain pools. The river water in Africa is dark and you can’t even see your feet in the water. We swam across a large, deep pool. I jumped into a big pothole at the end of the pool. There was a waterfall crashing into one side of it and the sandy bottom felt soothing on my feet. No one else wanted to jump in, and I realized, I had forgotten to be scared. The dream sequence has never returned.

 

PPS – Lucid dreaming is common, and trying to wake up during a nightmare is too – the immobility comes from your body preventing you from sleepwalking in response to dream situations – so it can feel disturbing while dreaming, but it is a good self preservation mechanism that is there to protect you from real harm. So the fear is gone and I am happy to dream on. And I work with dreams and treat them as an active state. If something is bugging you, think about it before you sleep, it can help resolve while you are off to never, never land 

And some days, it don't come easy

And some days it don't come hard

Some days it don't come at all

And these are the days that never end

And some nights you're breathing fire

And some nights you're carved in ice

Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before

Or will again
