But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost, and what you had, and what you lost...

This is but a short drive from where I have moved to and it's truly lovely to have somewhere to go in winter to photograph wildlife. This pup was pretty close to the viewing path and had just fed.
Thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.

Autumn comes early and doesn't last long here above the 63rd parallel, but in its fleeting moment there is nowhere else on earth that can compare.
It's the final weekend of the 2017 summer passenger season and the third to last southbound Denali Star (train 230S), the flagship of the Alaska Railroad's fleet, is climbing the nearly 1% grade on the long tangent here at about MP 319.7 on the ARRC mainline. The foothills of the Alaska Range are wildly ablaze in hues of gold and crimson, and the SD70MACs leading the way are perfectly attuned to their native land.

A lovely little fir stands proud against its grown up neighbour. Taken in my favourite sea of ferns in Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire.
This is part of an M&S tableware set called Autumn Leaves.
I started collecting it when I got married over 50 years ago and have added to it over the years, often as because it was going out of fashion, but it's timeless to me.
It's stoneware and very long lasting.
This is from April at Nisqually NWR. It's not a composite of two pictures (otherwise, it would be waaay better), it's just a weird thing that I was lucky to see happen.
It's hard to tell in this shot, but the bald eagle is chasing the peregrine falcon. It does give you a pretty good idea how much bigger eagles are than peregrine falcons.
Thank you for viewing. If you like please fav and leave a nice comment. Hope to see you here again. Have a wonderful day 😊

My childhood favorite ruin to visit every time I return to Italia I always come back. Poseidonia (In Ancient Greek: Ποσειδωνία), was one of Magna Gracea greatest, and one of the most impressive settlement, amazingly preserve in its true original beauty. In view are two of three Doric Column Temples, they are the 1st and 2nd Temples of Hera
City remained prosperous during the early years of the Roman Empire; than called Paestum. But the city eventually was abandoned and remained unknown due to silting up of the mouth of the Silarus River, Some say due to the eruption of Vesuvius, for the est. time of abandonment and eruption fall in line. This silting eventually created a malarial infested swamp and the city remained unknown and buried under silt until the 1800s.
The magnificence of this city is the level of preservation from the city's entire defensive walls & gates of Greek origin are still fully intact to three beautiful temples, and a theater
One more bonus, it's quite off the beaten path of Tourist, That makes it even more enjoyable.
Tricolored Herons are quite common here in Southeast Florida but given their good looks and antics they are rarely taken for granted. Sometimes they fish like Reddish Egrets, throwing out their wings to cause shade from which they can more easily spot their prey. I see this more often in saltwater environments than fresh water. At Wakodahatchee Wetlands, a freshwater habitat where this image was taken, they tend to fish on the fly, catching small minnows by darting their bill underwater as they fly past. Snowy Egrets tend to fish the same way. In this image, the water was dark and the light was primarily landing on the bird, nicely separating it from its background. It gave me a nice low bank with a reflection to boot. (Egretta caerulea) (Sony a1, 200-600 lens @ 600mm, f/6.3, 1/4000 second, ISO 640)

Bent, but never broken.
This reed survived a Lithuanian winter that outweighs it a million to one. Proof that the heaviest weights we carry are usually the ones we create for ourselves and exist only in our heads.
Winter is leaving Lithuania. I suggest we leave the heavy thoughts behind with it.

The Greyhound is an ancient and noble breed renowned as the fastest dog on Earth, but also famous for being a docile "45-mph couch potato" in the home. They make calm, affectionate, and low-maintenance family pets for the right household.
Key Characteristics
Speed:
Greyhounds can reach speeds of up to 45 mph (72 km/h) in just a few strides, thanks to their unique, aerodynamic build, deep chest, flexible spine, and long, powerful legs.
Temperament:
Despite their athletic prowess, Greyhounds are gentle, sensitive, and quiet dogs. They are non-aggressive, typically get along well with people and other dogs, and are known for their calm, even-tempered nature indoors.
Exercise Needs:
They are built for sprinting, not endurance, and require surprisingly little exercise—around an hour of daily activity, ideally split into two shorter walks with the chance for a supervised sprint in a securely fenced area.
Prey Drive:
As sighthounds, they have a strong instinct to chase fast-moving objects (like squirrels or rabbits). For this reason, they should generally remain on a lead in open public spaces and a secure, high-fenced garden is essential.
Greyhounds are one of the oldest breeds in history, appearing in ancient Egyptian art dating back to 4000 BCE and the only dog breed mentioned by name in the Bible.
Couldn't zoom out fast enough for this but barely got her shadow in. Might work better with a bit more cropped from the top, but I'll let this simmer for a while.

The three of us first hiked together just over a year ago, but that was the Northern tip - this time we headed for the southernmost bits.

Staring in my eyes, I know he knows I know
Embarrassed, he stands above me and says, "Sorry Erin, but
I don't have a choice," he holds the barrel up
To my head, I scream, "You can't be serious!"
He shakes his head and says, "I'm sorry,"
The journey into homelessness is rarely a singular event, but rather a complex accumulation of personal and systemic fractures. The path likely began with the quiet erosion of stability—perhaps the loss of a long-held career followed by the gradual disintegration of social support. As the fabric of his everyday life unravelled, economic pressures and perhaps health struggles may have removed a safety net to cushion the descent. A story of resilience in the face of immense adversity, illustrating how a person can become unmoored from society's structures, forced to navigate a stark, solitary existence while remaining an often invisible observer of the world.
