I'm home for the weekend, but took this New Year day when I stopped by the house to grab a few things. The parking lot is where I stop when I have a trailer and only staying for a few hours. It's only a couple of miles from the house. Kmart was here, but closed a few months ago. Anyway, I was leaving but wanted to get a picture of the mountains and clouds, I noticed a father with his kids playing with a radio controlled car, this being one of the few places nearby with a little dry pavement, and competently empty... well, except for the big semi and trailer.

A very simple photo , but the simplicity of the ocean and coastlines are my happy place. Just your basic sea, sky, sand.
In solitude, I find solace by the sea,
Where peace whispers its tranquil melody.
The ocean's embrace, a sanctuary deep,
Where worries fade and souls, sweet release.
Hope everyone is having a great week.

Looking a little bit tacky here but this Robin is over two years old now which is a good age for a Robin. Always hanging around in the same area in one of my nature reserves I often go to visit. Ever since I first spotted this as a juvenile there has always been a dark patch below the right eye that is still there to this day. My little friend here has become very tame and always so very photogenic and hopefully will be around a bit longer yet. In the 1400's when the Robin was named the colour orange had not been classified and this is why we say that the Robin has a red breast and not orange. America has an eagle so it's about time the UK had the Robin as its national bird !!!!!!

Hurray! This photo made it to Explore's front page. It is not photoshopped or superimposed or anything. I used a little digital enhancement to bring out the detail in the clouds and color in the backgroud. The balloon was sharp and detailed in the untouched version. © all rights reserved
Today there were 3 balloons up. I had 10 passengers. It was a pefect flight and a perfect day. Just the right amount of clouds and wind and sun and hassle-free landing fields.
This photo shows the Remax Balloon flown by Bill Baker with Black Mountain (San Diego city park open space area) in the background, and way to the back left can be seen Mount Woodson, between Poway and Ramona, a popular rock climbing spot.
FAMILIAR SPECIES, but still in heavy decline, familiar because of its affinity for human habitations, found in small groups, can become remarkably tame. A constant source of entertainment on the trees and feeders around the cottage!
CRAZY MILD WEATHER ! look at the buds on its perch in December !

I wanted to photograph the Vienna Christmas Market in all its lit up glory, but work meeting ran late and only managed to make it there after everything had closed. Pesky work getting in the way of my photography - aarrgghh! So you get to see it after hrs...which is still pretty cool!
Brevent Lake is a charming Apline lake above Chamonix, on the other side of the valley from Mont Blanc. The area seems to be big on skiing in winter, but in summer months if offers lots of great hiking trails. In addition, the cafe at the top of the Brevent cable car offers a great view of Mont Blanc.
Usually, Roses are red
But this Rose is blue
And this unique one
Is only glowing for You
Although ...
This BLUE-tifulness
Is not genuine, I guess

Usually in winter, I photograph birds outside, but the kowhai tree flowering last spring was incredible... and the best view is from inside, where it's elevated and I can photograph straight into the tree. So I spent some time photographing through double glazing! Not my favourite glass... but... the glimpse into birdworld was too strong to resist :-)
Silvereyes are very communal birds, often visiting in small family groups and pairs. Some preening pairs are family, some couples, and some just dating ;-) If one preens too roughly the moment is soon over!
I glimpsed this pair through my lcd quite far back in the tree... I didn't see them at all with my bare eyes. They were there maybe only a minute, but seeing minutes like these makes a lot of happiness :-)
Here's to the world beyond the window...
and to moments of joy 🌼
whether quiet or aloud
my thanks for being here
on the other side of the glass!! :-)

If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."

Got snowed off yesterday, so went to Fingeringhoe wick nature reserve for a walk. Bumped into a kingfisher at kits pond, both surprised, naturally it flew off!
Saw my first Tree creeper, it out flaked me on the blind side of the tree!! Typical! But did manage this shot in the rain after the snow!
let me take a selfie"

Well actually it isn't Bonny but a very amusing birthday card sent to my wife from the family! If you want to know more about the people who produced the card please visit www.avantipress.com
Our Bonny Lass was born in Ireland and was originally thought to be a labrador/collie cross - but our dog trainer thought she is a 'Heinz 57 Varieties' with some Lurcher and Staffie thrown in! Whatever she is, she is adorable!
She is now thirteen years old and although she's slowing down she can still give dogs half her age a run for their money in short bursts!
If you are looking for a rescue dog in the UK, please visit www.pupsneedinghomes.co.uk/ as they do such an outstanding job in rehoming unwanted dogs!
Yayyy!!! Good morning ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و
But hot days are followed, let's look forward to the summer of this year with the care of physical condition (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
It regards this week 😀

I took this shot in my garden on February 24th I was not expecting to be using the camera at all that day . We had just had a third storm and it had been raining heavily for hours . After it finished I went down the garden to check for fence damage there was none but a lot of standing water. I was amazed when I got to the bottom of the garden to see the crocus I planted into a lawn were looking surprisingly really good . I went back and got the camera and Mary and we enjoyed this little miracle. We have a saying round here that may sound rude but its actually a compliment an these crocus are clearly “ tough little buggers “ They have survived the wettest February in England since records began

Cautious, but not that bothered sheep eyeing us on the way up the Torr Head. I deliberately used the title of a Cranberries song - a band that has "Ireland" written all over it :) :) :)
Torr Head, a slight detour on the Causeway Coastal Route is the closest point between Scotland and Ireland and offers spectacular views of Mull of Kintyre.
