During the winter months we only have a few Goldfinches visiting our yard. This year they seem to prefer the Hot Meats, pepper treated sunflower meats, over the thistle socks we put out.
When a recent spell of severely cold weather hit our area I put out a brand new thistle sock for them and they completely ignored it when previous winters they could not get enough of it.
Guess as long as they're coming and finding plenty to eat there's no reason to complain.
As many SL photographers I roam the sims looking for something to shoot. I came upon the water’s edge seeing a woman sitting all alone… for some unknown reason I put my camera down and sat beside her.
Here are her thoughts as I did that …
There is a woman, sad, broken wandering aimlessly from place to place. Thinking of nothing… just numb and in pain, wanting only to speak to no one but be alone.
She comes upon this peaceful beach one of many she has visited just to sit and stare at sky and waves dashing against the sand.
A man quietly speaks to her, not in the rude way of most but quietly softly perhaps even a gentle tone.
She finds she can bear to exchange words with him and soon the sun started it's decent
The sky ablaze with color as it starts to darken for the night
He offers his hand she takes it somehow knowing it will be ok. Her hand planted in his firm and warm as the night starts she thinks with a small smile hmm nice…
Chatting quietly as if they had been close friends for awhile, they were so at ease… a soft kind of happiness that just lays over you gently.
Night approached…and soon they parted wondering if there will be another time such as that.
The night started and the moon smiled brightly just for a brief moment… ~CarryAnne

Such a beautiful, warm first night of September, especially after the day dawned so foggy!
The HST, once an everyday sight in South Wales now reduced to short formation secondary services, seen here led by 43175 as it rounds the bend at Miskin.
As part of Singapore's Light to Night Festival 2023, two light installations were put up at the Padang.
Hearing Padang is comprises 2 large curved structures that creates an acoustic experience that allows sound to travel from one end to another.
So, I traveled to looking glass rock overlook last night. Was mainly planning on assembling a composition to see what would be possible in the event of good lighting. I spent an hour wandering around, trying different angles. I determined this will be a great place for a sunrise photo during a cloud inversion. Providing that the clouds don't cover looking glass itself. I need more green, though I did like this particular composition, the light clouds, a streak of light through the valley.

As there were strong thunderstorms just over this area, assume this was naturally caused. Taken along the Colorado River.
As always, many thanks for taking the time to view, fave and comment. That's very much appreciated
Stay safe!
As I waited for the Oklahoma sunset over Lake Hefner, I noticed multiple family/friend experiences unfolding in front of me during an unusually warm winter day. This was my favorite.
As you can see there are some distracting objects but that tree and that light.... Could not find a better pov and did shoot this with the lens in a small opening between two gates.

As silence fills my soul with contentment,
It's your soft glow that keeps me warm.
So as the waves wash away my cares,
I walk along the shore to its end.
All the while, a soft wind can be heard whispering,
as it guides the water over the sand, saying; hush...
We just returned from an intense 3 week trip to Madagascar.
Wonderful people, beautiful landscapes and a fantastic but very difficult to photograph fauna.
It was really hard to photograph the wonderful endemic birds of Madagascar. We had to take many long walks along dense forest trails carrying our heavy lenses, going down and up slopes to find the most emblematic species, but in the end we managed to see and photograph most of them.
This photo of one of Madagascar's most emblematic endemic species was taken after another long walk through the dense forest. It is a rare and very localized bird.
Ankarafantsika National Park - Madagascar
Species # 1260
"are you back?" he asked.
"maybe," came her cool response, drifting on a curling breeze from the ocean that was weighted heavy with salt and dreams. she was like that, you know. bitter sweet.
"i want you back." his eyes were tender as he reached for a beer, cracked it open, took a sip. he kept is eyes on her.
"yeah," she shook her short hair, and the wind sent it everywhere. it sent her scent everywhere. garnier fructis. cheap shit never smelled so good. "me, too."
he took her picture like that. hands stuffed in the pockets of her jean jacket -- half dressed, covered in sand and provoking. she was always provoking something. emotions. sex. laughs. smiles. hatred. this time it was lust.
god, he missed her to her marrow.

As Cleo tends to wait for the snacks to fly right into her mouth, no birds were hurt during or after this photo shoot. She still considers herself as a great huntress, though, who could catch every bird she wants if she thought it was worth the effort (what - of course - will never happen).
I add another capture in the comments.
As I haven't been to the coast for a while I looked back through the last few trips for something suitable. I'm always fascinated by waves crashing over wave sculpted rocks. The addition of a. few seconds exposure highlights the beauty, a does the little patch of sunlight bringing out some colour. Museum of Flight is a. beautiful song and title by Damien Jurado. It's also very topical in these strange days.Stay safe everyone and thanks for your wonderful words and friendship.
well as the title says, its my entry for the Second Life Cracked photo contest . I dont think I ever had such a banging pain doing a picture before and I spent the last hours working on it. I'm still not satisfied with it but time's running and i need to enter it now i think.
I hope you like it.
As i stood waiting for just another sunset show at the foot of Rosengarten these people walked in this giant movie theater for the last 2 tickets available...
Thank you for your kind visit.

As you may have seen, despite of loving architecture I'm not good in photographing buildings, and I don't have the proper lens to do this well.
Here is a mosaic of details from Santiago, with special mention to this strange guardian that I saw in Cerro San Cristobal.
I'm wondering the utility of those spikes...
As I was driving by this old barnyard, I noticed a few chickens hurriedly making their way across the yard to the shed. Then I spied the problem. A cocky rooster was purposely strutting toward the hens with just one thing on his mind. All I could think of was that the farmer bought a new young rooster and the hens were not pleased. I wish I could have watched what unfolded, but I was stopped in the middle of a country road (yet again). I can hear the ladies now, “We want old Mr. Doodledont back again.”
As promised, the breeding male Pin-tailed Whydah. Native to Africa, this Southern California exotic is a small songbird, but he sure makes up for his size with those foot-long tail feathers. Of the several I have seen over the last few years, this is one of my cleaner images. They actually do a really cool mid-air dance for the girls - still waiting for that shot.
Queen Anne's Lace is another host plant for the Black Swallowtail, even though I have never found any eggs on them... and it also likes to plant itself wherever it pleases, so you're always in for a surprise each year!!
As I was snapping this photo of a drake Mallard, a bright yellow school bus came down the road and cast these myriad reflections on the water as it quickly passed by above the water.

As well as photographing pebbles and leaves in Scotland, I spent a lot of time photographing bits of grass. All things I probably could have photographed at home. I always enjoy making this kind of image. But I’m never quite sure later if I’ve created a work of art or just a load of arty bollocks. It's a fine line! You decide.
