Frail but still standing, the Hundred Guinea Oak is now over 600 years old. William John Chute who owned The Vyne in the late Georgian period was offered a hundred pounds and later a hundred guineas for the timber.

He flatly refused to sell the oak which you can see for yourself at the top of the lime avenue.

Not our Christmas tree but just as festive looking

Hommage à tous nos Poilus Morts pour la France durant cette première Guerre Mondiale ! il y a 102 ans .... Mais leurs actes restent toujours dans nos mémoires ... A tous ces enfants orphelins de guerre, à toutes ces veuves qui se sont battues elles aussi ! à leur manière, pour vivre et survivre !

-----------------------------------------------------------

Homage to all our "Hairy" soldiers who died for France during the First World War! 102 years ago .... But their actions are always remembered ... To all these children orphaned by war, to all these widows who also fought! in their own way, to live and survive!

Hasselback potatoes seasoned with sea salt and black pepper may not be the healthiest vegetables, but they taste yummy, this one is about 2" long! HMM

day 8/365 project on Instagram

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

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

It was snowing couple of times this year, but barely saw it at Niagara Falls (melting). I remember the icing world of Niagara Falls year ago… Searched my archived photos, just by watching these photos, I could feel the icing cold, remembered my hands numbed, eyelashes iced together, camera died due to -28C, could not touch tripod… 😉 It was very cold that year, even the water sprays were frozen in the air... Most of the Niagara Falls were frozen except horseshoe falls which flew forever. The Niagara river was covered with the thick ice, but the power flow from the horseshoe falls was still on… it never stops!

It was sunrise, but the sun was blocked behind the clouds, very light morning colors. On the right corner, you can see the observing platform which was covered with icing… the photo of this platform is here 😊

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.

Transcript – “I AM ME” Official Music Video – Fearless Soul

I AM ME.

I’ll never pretend to be another.

I will never want to BE another.

I will not change who I am just to fit in.

I AM ME.

I am not perfect… but I’m working on myself… working to become the best version of myself.

I’m not putting on a mask no more

The true me can’t stay hidden

I’m not putting on a show no more

I’m not gonna act to fit in

Yeah I might not be perfect

but I’m working on my best version

I’m on my way

Yes I’m on my way

If I have to I’ll walk alone

Being myself is all that I know

Want me to change to fit in?

I won’t.

I am me.

I can’t pretend to be what I’m not

In my own way I know I am strong

I am free to do what I want

I am me.

If I have to I’ll walk alone

Being myself is all that I know

Want me to change to fit in?

I won’t.

I am me.

I can’t pretend to be what I’m not

In my own way I know I am strong

I am free to do what I want

I am me.

Yes I am

I am me

I’m not putting on a mask no more

I’ve got my own life to live

There’s so much more I can give

I walk my own path

I won’t pretend to be another

Never want to be another

Won’t apologize for being me

That’s all I can be.

Yeah I might not be perfect

But I’m working on my best version

I’m on my way

Yeah I’m on my way

If I have to I’ll walk alone

Being myself is all that I know

Want me to change to fit in?

I won’t.

I am me.

I can’t pretend to be what I’m not

In my own way I know I am strong

I am free to do what I want

I am me.

Yeah I might not be perfect

But I’m working on my best version!

I’m on my way.

I’m on my way!

If I have to I’ll walk alone

Being myself is all that I know

Want me to change to fit in? I won’t.

I am me

I can’t pretend to be what I’m not

in my own way I know I am strong

I am free to do what I want

I am me

Yes I am

Yes I am me

Angry ghosts keep me company

Eyes are closed but I'm awake

And I can't sleep deeply

Unless I've been drinking

Enough to drown out what they say

And what they say is more than I can take

Oh, what a warped way to learn from my mistakes

There are patterns in the static

Noises in my attic

Voices in my head keep me awake

I'm on the brink of madness

And I can't help but laugh at this

Oh, what a way

Oh, what a way to learn from my mistakes

Nobody gets away with anything

All must bear the balance sheet

So I befriend the voices

They've taught me some songs I guess

But, oh how the truth stings when they speak

And what they say

Is more than I can take

Oh, what a warped way to learn from my mistakes

Not awake but fighting sleep

I just hope

I can dream again

But there's patterns in the static

Noises in my attic

Voices in my head keep me awake

I'm on the brink of madness

And I can't help but laugh at this

Oh, what a way

Oh, what a way to learn from my mistakes

"The grandeur of the scene was but softened by the haze that hung over the valley-light as gossamer -and by the clouds that partially dimmed the highest lifts and mountains. This obscurity of vision but increased the awe with which I beheld it, and as I looked, a peculiar exalted sensation seemed to fill my whole being, and I found my eyes in tears with emotion"

Words of Lafayette Houghton Bunnell, after he discovered the beauty of Yosemite Park in March 1851.

I always wanted to capture the beauty and grandeur of this magnificent place covered by a white blanket of snow. For two consecutive years I traveled in the wintertime trying to capture this scene and unfortunately was never able to find snow in the park. With the flurry of crazy weather over the holidays I thought "this is my chance!" I decided to venture yet again in hopes of this picture and welcomed in the New Year at the Park.

I thank God for allowing me to be there to admire and capture the beauty of this amazing place. The 31st was a long day of travel flying from Miami, and then driving multiple hours to Yosemite, but I think this enchanted corner made the sacrifice worth it. I hope this panorama can make justice of this wonderful place by the Merced River.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend ahead, and all the best for this 2016! Thanks for your friendship and support though the years.

Your love, lifting me higher

Than I've ever been lifted before

So keep it it up

Quench my desire

And I'll be at your side

Forevermore

You know your love (your love keeps lifting me)

Keep on lifting me (love keeps lifting me)

Higher (lifting me)

Higher and higher (higher)

I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)

Keep on (love keeps lifting me)

Lifting me (lifting me)

Higher and higher (higher)

Listen

Now, once I was downhearted

Disappointment was my closest friend

But then you came and it soon departed

And you know, he never

Showed his face again

That's why your love (your love keeps lifting me)

Keep on lifting me (love keeps lifting me)

Higher (lifting me)

Higher and higher (higher)

I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)

Keep on (love keeps lifting me)

Lifting me (lifting me)

Higher and higher (higher), alright

I'm so glad I finally found you

Yes, that one in a million, girl

And now with my loving arms around you

Honey, I can stand up

And face the world

SMALL HOUSE

Small house, but throw a ball through it some time

and it becomes quite large. See all those metres,

aren’t they ours? And stroll perhaps as if

you don’t know where you’re going: space is

stretching out and yawns between the walls. Behold:

the wandering that binds the rooms together

has been painted white. There are some stairs,

a hat stand in the cupboard, doors. As if

by accident it lies there like a country

lane, where roads determine goal and starting

point and not the other way around. If you

go out for bread and then return you’ll see

that we can organise a picnic. Quick!

Go now! The shrinking can’t be far away.

Don't have to leave this town to see the world

Cause it's something that I gotta do

I don't wanna look back in 30 years

And wonder who you're married to

Wanna say it now, wanna make it clear

For only you and God to hear

When you love someone, they say you set 'em free

But that ain't gonna work for me

I don't wanna live without you

I don't wanna even breathe

I don't wanna dream about you

Wanna wake up with you next to me

I don't wanna go down any other road now

I don't wanna love nobody but you

Looking in your eyes now, if I had to die now

I don't wanna love nobody but you

You

Just back from a trip to the Boonies folks and so so glad I'm back, pretty unproductive I might add, but there is always something.

This is a guy I got sometime last week and is probably the best image I've ever taken of this species, and will not be so quick in the future to pass them up.

Thank you for stopping by and for all the very kind words, much appreciated.

6ºC.

A personal achievement.

A great high altitude acclimatization workout.

First time I climb the summit alone, even though I have people on the same trail, there was no closer contact. Each in its own time.

There was drizzle and a light rain.

Cloudy weather is part of mountaineering.

It's cool to see the blue sky, but getting there is much better.

Adrenaline is the maximum and free.

I spotted this juvenile Peregrine Falcon just as he was finishing up a breakfast of "freshly un-cooked" bird, courtesy of the maternal catering service.

Junior clearly had a look of deep culinary satisfaction on his face, though he was admittedly less than prepared for a formal portrait. With his feathers completely disheveled and heavily stained from his morning meal, he looked exactly like what we used to call "ridden-hard and put-away-wet."

Unfortunately, my own schedule forced me to pack up and leave before he had a chance to freshen up and look the part of the sleek, gorgeous speedster of the sky he is destined to become.

______________________________

Powerful and fast-flying, the Peregrine Falcon hunts medium-sized birds, dropping down on them from high above in a spectacular stoop. They were virtually eradicated from eastern North America by pesticide poisoning in the middle 20th century. After significant recovery efforts, Peregrine Falcons have made an incredible rebound and are now regularly seen in many large cities and coastal areas.

Peregrine Falcons are very strong fliers and often reported to be the fastest bird in the world. Their average cruising flight speed is 24 to 33 mph, increasing to 67 mph when in pursuit of prey. When stooping, or dropping on prey with their wings closed, it's been calculated that Peregrine Falcons can achieve speeds of 238 mph.

When hunting, Peregrines start by watching from a high perch or by flapping slowly or soaring at great height. Stoops begin 300–3,000 feet above their prey and end either by grabbing the prey or by striking it with the feet hard enough to stun or kill it. They then catch the bird and bite through the neck to kill it. Peregrine Falcons do have other hunting methods, including level pursuit, picking birds out of large flocks, and occasionally even hunting on the ground. Though the Peregrine Falcon is an elite predator, it does have its own predators, including Gyrfalcons, eagles, Great Horned owls, and other Peregrines.
