As many of you know Polaroid film has gotten very expensive. And the Polaroid55 is the worst! I have a box of 10 year old film and have been using it regardless. this is one. The negative is so washed out you can hardly believe it, but I'm actually getting good images from them. (My color polaroid film from ten years ago is completely gone. Utterly.)

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, āWe want old Mr. Doodledont back again.ā
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 befits a good castle, this one stands on the top of the highest hill in the vicinity. The view over the Cova da Beira valley extends for miles and miles.

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 Iām never quite sure later if Iāve created a work of art or just a load of arty bollocks. It's a fine line! You decide.

As usual I went out for a walk in a park early this morning and due to the weather I was almost alone there. For now the plants seem to cope surprisingly well with the snow and freezing temperatures but the damage will only be visible when the snow will have disappeared again. The plant in these photos is a Japanese Quince which looked lovely in the snow although it would probably prefer warmer temperatures.
as the warmer weather of Spring arrives early September in Cape Town, everyone flocks to the beaches..here I saw this dad and his small daughter caught up in the turbulence of surfers, making their way into and out of the surf, enjoying their quality time together

As Cleo has arthrosis she has to take two pills every day. Cleo and I have reached an agreement: she allows me to put the pills directly into her mouth without shredding my fingers and in return she gets some treats. This generally works very well but it only works with me. When my sister had to give her the pills once several adhesive bandages were required afterwards.
Taken as I walked across a street in our capital city, Wellington. The crane was really on a building site in front of the building but why spoil a good story? The clouds are entirely as seen. Have a good weekend, we are 6 hours off Saturday.
"As if 2020 isnāt weird enough, itās a year with 13 full moons rather than 12 ā and two of these will occur in October.
Octoberās first full moon is the harvest moon on October 1, and the second full moon will occur on October 31. [...].
The full harvest moon will rise at 5:05 pm ET on October 1. The name is given to the full moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox. While this full moon usually occurs in September, a full moon on September 2 was too early to be known as the harvest moon. [...].
The full harvest moon provides light for farmers harvesting their crops into the night, according to the Farmerās Almanac.
The moon will appear full for about three days, according to NASA. [...]." kslnewsradio.com/1934363/full-moons-in-october-harvest-mo...
PS I am happy with this shot as US wildfire smoke is again creating hazy skies over Vancouver.
As Thistle flowers die back they turn into masses of thistle seeds glowing in the sunlight. Some will launch into the wind settling who knows where to start off life again next Spring others will be food for hungry birds like the Goldfinch.

Wow, 100 music pictures. What started as a little bet between friends a year ago now is one of my favorite past times. And Who knew a cynical old bat like me likes so many songs? And there are still more to come, I haven't barely touched my most favorite artists. But this spot on my list was always reserved for exactly this song!
This is my all time favorite. A simple melody, direct and from the heart lyric that describe perfectly what love is for me. Thank you John Denver for making me dream and hope and keep smiling. You had the heart of a true poet and we miss you.
Special thanks to Tatusia for enduring my fiddling with lights and camera angles with such patience ā¤
And thank you all who like this series and encourage me to do more. It gives me so much joy and motivation š
You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again
You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
as our country erupts around more (heartbreaking, painful) racial injustice, my heart aches. while fully aware of the horrors in this world, i turn again and again to nature. i dig in the dirt, plant seeds, and notice beauty. i watch light, as it always accompanies even the deepest darkness. this flower reminds me to shine, to blossom, and to love, love, love.

Broad verges backed by banks,
Of mature Oak and Beech,
Race down Warwickshire,
Through the verdure of the country,
Stratford upon Avon and Shakespear,
The breathtaking castles of Kenilworth and Warwick,
Or and hour, quiet and peaceful, at the Bancroft Basin,
Live forever as the Chesterton Windmill turns the time.
As seen by the roadside. I had some better photos but this was the nicest pose. Thanks to Jani Lee for seeing this @ 80km/hr.
As its name suggests, Yellow star-of-Bethlehem is a golden-yellow, star-like flower that can be found growing in woodland on basic soils. Although it is rare, it can be very abundant where it does occur. It grows from a bulb, which waits dormant underground until spring.

Just as a new day begins to break. My living room windows introduce me to another day full of promise. Another year just began with opportunities, insights and challenges. These will be met with my faith. I am not alone as I see a changing world begin to unfold. As āThe Sun Risesā Iām grateful to be able to witness such beauty here daily. Beauty surrounds us all but we have to remove lifeās blinders and begin to look again with more than our eyes. Thanks for viewing my photos. Gratitude and Kindness will encourage us to continue to live and love.

Looking forward, and backward, and realize where I am right this moment.
Misopates orontium, known as weasel's snout, is a herbaceous annual plant in the family Plantaginaceae. It is a native of disturbed ground in Europe. It is also naturalised as a weed in other parts of the world such as North America. The pink flowers resemble a miniature snapdragon and are followed by a hairy green fruit which is said to resemble a weasel's snout.
Common names include linearleaf snapdragon,[1] weasel's snout, lesser snapdragon or calf's snout. Past common names have included lesser snapdragon and corn-snapdragon.[2]
