In general, I love winter. It is extremely photogenic season. But today the cold hit us. Unpleasant wind and freezing rain, not snow, turned the car into a frozen cube of ice, wind gets everywhere, there's no wintery white and no matter how hard I'm trying, I feel cold and miserable. So I've decided to post a warmer picture today.

It is summer, but it is not hot, when night falls, the lights turn on and reflect on the calm surface of the river.
People flock to the deck with a glass of wine in hand and begin to break the silence and peace with their voices.
Il fiume a Wurzburg
È estate, ma non fa caldo, quando cala la notte si accendono le luci che si riflettono sulla superficie calma del fiume.
Le persone si riversano in massa sul ponte con un bicchiere di vino in mano e cominciano a rompere il silenzio è la pace con le loro voci.
No wish but to dive in deep
What’s it to be done
No breath to hold in deep
What’s it to be done
In a sea within a whirlpool, I am
No wish to answer to anyone
What’s it to be done?

I don't do selfies too often but when I woke up on the morning of 21 September and saw the beautiful morning light I knew I had to make this shot. So there you have it, my official birthday selfie with my new ride, a Triumph Street Twin 900.
FYI: I rode mini-bikes and dirt bikes in my youth and as they say, "I've still got it", but it has been a while. The only thing weird is when I'm riding on the street, I don't have to keep an eye out for the police. I have taken the state written test to obtain a permit so I can ride legally but this weekend I'll be taking a state sponsored Safety Course. Two full days and in the end, given I pass and I will, I'll get a waiver that the state recognizes in lieu of their testing.
I did have a steam and fence shot, but I've left that at home, this one is a reminder of the snow just before Christmas so festive and now just a distant memory it would seem.
Got knocked back from a fence group last week, so this one is a little more obvious:) hope it is ok.
Happy fence Friday!

Formerly a UK breeding bird but more regularly seen in Europe they tend to turn up in this country on migration if we get an easterly wind at the right moment.
We got those conditions in early September this year resulting in only the third I’ve seen in Northumberland while I was on Holy Island (Lindisfarne).
This stunningly tame individual was hopping around on the path looking for insects. It looked a bit lethargic for a while but after about an hour had perked up enough to fly off.
A member of the Woodpecker family, not much bigger than a Sparrow, but behaves totally differently to other Woodpeckers, not climbing up and down on trees searching for food.
"But is that true? Because a tree in spring buds and comes greenly into leaf, are those leaves therefore the tree? If the newborn twigs and their leaves were all that existed, they would form a vague halo of green suspended in mid-air, but surely that is not the tree. The leaves, by themselves, are no more than trivial fluttering decoration. It is the trunk and limbs that give the tree its grandeur and the leaves themselves their meaning. There is not a discovery in science, however revolutionary, however sparkling with insight, that does not arise out of what went before. 'If I have seen further than other men,' said Isaac Newton, 'it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants." — Adding a Dimension: Seventeen Essays on the History of Science, by Isaac Asimov.

Unspoilt places still exist, but for how much longer?
One of Québec’s last great rivers, the Magpie is under imminent threat from mega damming and hydroelectric development.
Still relatively intact (in 2008 a controversial dam was constructed at the river mouth), it is considered to be among the top ten rivers in the world for white water recreational tourism according to National Geographic.

Cloudy but dry start to the last month of 2021 in Vancouver
I captured this image of this majestic mountain which lies in Washington State, USA right from my home, 100+km away, in Vancouver, Canada,
Mount Baker[...] is one of the snowiest places in the world; in 1999, Mount Baker Ski Area [...] set the world record for recorded snowfall in a single season—1,140 in (2,900 cm).
At 10,781 ft (3,286 m), it is the third-highest mountain in Washington State[...]. It is visible from much of Greater Victoria, Nanaimo, British Columbia, Greater Vancouver, and, to the south, from Seattle (and on clear days Tacoma) in Washington.
Happy fluttery Friday flickr friends! I hope you all have to best day ever. I am going to be gone most of the day, but I will be back later on today to get to your new uploads. Much hugs and love coming your way!
Hugs,
Kim

Well we all know its not but I've been singing along to Roy Orbison as I so often do when a photo 'strikes a chord' as it were... when I am processing a raw file.
Padstow Harbour actually but looking so sunny last October between lockdowns.
Looking like a typical post card and I’m well aware of that but it just epitomises Cornwall for me re the light and colours so I make no apologies for putting this on. Neither a sunrise sunset or slow shutter...the four S’s that a landscape photographer strives for lol. Just that Cornish light that I happen to love ❤️
Thank you so much everyone for all your encouraging comments which I appreciate so much.
I am unable to reply or comment at the moment as I’m not feeling too well at present but I wish you all well....❤️
Strange, but last picture of the series of this day was done at #Wik #castle.
It is kind of interesting story. My friend phoned me and asked if I have been there, I said no... We went to visit this amazing castle on the lake of #Ekoln.

The most terrifying thing about October is all of the events. I might fall over. My inventory is bonechilling.
There's a whole bunch of new stuff from Zibska, like the lovely dress at Rock Your Rack 2017, the stunning eyeshadow from The Nightmare, or more great lipstick from over at Industrie! Definitely check out the last event, a new one with lots of great minimalist and industrial inspired items. Highly recommend.
In the heart of binge watching psychological horror, enjoy this picture. <3

This is Seymour, mascot of the Washington State Museum in Tacoma, WA. He was in the donation box when we were there, but travels around the state and to other museums encouraging people to "see more." I think he's actually a marmot and not a woodchuck/groundhog - but that's close enough, right!

Figbirds are related to Orioles. They forage in the canopy of fruiting trees, especially fig trees, in the edge of rainforest and in mangroves, parks and gardens. Like other orioles they will also take insects.
