My oldest SL friend (in years known, not age, cause that's me.... i'm old), my sister and my RL friend, this woman has always been there when I needed her, which was usually just to listen to me rant and rave. We were able to meet in RL and prove just how short she actually is :-p but she is a true friend through and through. Honest and straightforward, caring and steadfast. I love her so much and I am blessed to call her my friend in both worlds. Love you Cera!!!! <3

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

Three women collect water in a Jodhpur stepwell teeming with fish.
Stepwells in Rajasthan, India, boast a rich history dating back over a thousand years. Initially built to harvest rainwater and provide access to groundwater, they evolved into architectural marvels and communal spaces. Constructed by digging into the earth, these structures were adorned with intricate carvings, serving as both utilitarian and aesthetic symbols. Stepwells facilitated water storage in arid regions, crucial for agriculture, drinking, and rituals. They also served as meeting points, offering respite from the scorching desert heat. Over time, stepwells declined with modernization, but their cultural significance endures, inspiring art, literature, and conservation efforts. Today, they stand as poignant reminders of India's ingenuity in water management and architectural prowess.
Ella wants to know why Jimmy isn't bugging her and I want to know why she hasn't been rolling around on the ground getting dust and dirt to cling to her fur. Without knowing quite what to do in this novel situation, she decided to sit still and look at me and I decided to take her picture.
A stunning flower both yellow and orange, a glorious mixture.
Everyday I have the pleasure and privilege of working with beauty.
It is a voyage of discovery, working forensically on flowers, new things every day.
Nature at its very best.
I love Ranunculus, densely layered, and this bloom opened beautifully, not always evident, their stems are extremely delicate and do tend to just collapse before the bud can open into a gorgeous voluptuous bloom...
With love to you and thanK you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

Bothal Castle. My first HDR attempt using Photomatix 3. Taken on a bright but cloudless day. All constructive comments gladly welcomed.
Both male and female Stonechats were very obliging last week on the Moor.I hid myself beside the tiny stream running round the outside of the scrub,and was fortunate enough for both male and female to come close enough for me to photograph them.
Dave and I both love snow skiing and it was definitely time to hit the slopes! 🎿

My two favourite birding locations in Ontario - Pelee Island and Prince Edward County - both jut into bodies of water and mark the southernmost tips of their regions. As a consequence, both areas host significant wine-making operations, which in turn attracts boutique hotels and restaurants and a very different kind of tourism.
The odd thing is that both areas have managed to retain large areas of very rough terrain for wildlife, and these tend to be unpopular with the folks from Ottawa and Toronto who are visiting for other reasons. That is quite obvious when backroading: driving on the many dirt roads that crisscross the areas near the water. Barred Owls, Red-tailed and Red-shouldered Hawks, Bald Eagles, and even the occasional Upland Sandpiper are fairly common sights on these rarely travelled routes.
I was alerted by my friend Paul to the location of a Red Fox den on one of these roads, and made a point of keeping my eyes peeled for adults and kits. This adult was spotted hunting for rodents along a grassy ridge alongside one of these roads.
I slowed down and stopped, pulling off on the opposite (wrong) side of the road, and then turned off the engine. Unlike the tamer Red Foxes around Ottawa, who are more used to sharing space with humans, these creatures are more skittish. Homes are pretty scarce in this area, and the Foxes are more natural predators.
In any event, I figured I had about thirty seconds to work. I had the windows down and my camera ready to go on the front seat. I wanted to really lean out of the window to avoid heat waves distorting the image. The Fox had just failed to catch something and had assumed a very focused pose, planning its next move. A short burst of three images and it was gone into the tall grasses of the nearby field.

Both have their points but I can not make a definitive choice so will just see what the outcome offers.... Two Bridges in Dartmoor.
Joni Mitchell fans will think this is an odd title to a cloudless scene, but it refers to the view of the Green River canyon from the Maze side of Canyonlands. There's probably a 1000:1 ratio of folks who see this area from the Island in the Sky side (bluffs in the distance above the White Rims) versus this side in the Maze District. I've taken and posted many pictures from the other side (e.g. Grandview and Murphy Points, Green River Overlook, False Kiva), so it was fun to get out to Panorama Point and look back toward the other side. In the distance on the right are the La Sal Mountains, and at the center of the left top quadrant is Turks Head, a small butte capped by White Rim sandstone surrounded by an oxbow of the Green River.

This is about a mile off Route 15 down an unpaved "road" that eventually turns into a dirt two-track. It wasn't that much rougher than the paved Route 15, which made me really glad I opted for the truck and not the car this trip.

"Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend... when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present - love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure - the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on Earth."

Both eagles were briefly in the nest on this afternoon (while I was there at least). Sometimes it is hard to leave a place. This was definitely one of those times.
The girls remained in Adrienne’s living room, but everything felt eerily altered.
“They can’t see us, but we can see them,” Kayla whispered. “I moved us between dimensions.”
Through the thick fog that now separated them from their previous reality, Adrienne clung tightly to Kayla’s hand, watching the two men enter the room. Their movements were sharp, calculated, as they began combing the house.
“No one’s here. Check the device,” one commanded.
The other rushed to the closet, his fingers trailing the empty space on the shelf where the device had been only moments ago. “It was here. Now it’s gone. They were here… and they have it.
A deep, guttural growl rumbled from the bald man as he surveyed the room.
Then, abruptly, he turned—his stare locking onto Adrienne and Kayla, as if he could see beyond the veil. His nostrils flared as he inhaled deeply… Adrienne held her breath.
“The stench is strong. They were here. Not long ago. Maybe they still are.” His voice was rough, primal, as his gaze scoured the space. “We will return. We’ll track their signal.”
Again, he took in the air, then slashed a hand through the space where the girls stood. It passed through harmlessly, though he swung again. And again.
Frustration boiled beneath his skin, erupting into another low growl. “I will have you both.” With that final promise, the two men turned and left.

Both were tending the nest. Mom flew out to catch some grub while dad guards the nest. He eventually went in. They traded parenting duites.
As you might have seen already I've built a few warships in the past. But for me those ones weren't good enough which is why I of course had to build another one. The main change I did was making the size a little bigger. Both the lower red part, the grey section and the buildings on top are higher now, which was definitely a good decision. The only thing that's bothering me is that in my opinion the back part is to short compared to the rest of the ship.
But overall I'm quite happy with how this ship turned out. Let me know what you think about the build and how I could improve it!
natural light shots of hermits, birds with odd shaped tail which creates a typical hunched posture. Hermits have a long decurved bill with a red or yellow base to the lower mandible, and their two central tail feathers are elongated and tipped with white, buff or ochre. The crown of the head is flat, and two pale facial stripes enclose a dusky mask.
Most hermits are restricted to the edge and undergrowth of forest, woodland and second growth, but some species (e.g. the planalto hermit) also occur in more open habitats.
Many species of hermits form leks and congregate on traditional display grounds, where females visit to choose a mate. Male hermits are generally less aggressive than other male hummingbirds, although both sexes will defend a feeding territory.
From wiki:
The stripe-throated hermit feeds on flower-nectar taken by trap-lining. It has also been observed piercing the base of flowers to get nectar that otherwise would be out of reach; sometimes it take small insects. Typically this species forages fairly low, only occasionally at canopy-level.. This hummingbird is found in a wide range of wooded habitats, e.g. forest, woodland, clearings, thickets and gardens; typically in humid regions, but locally also in drier, deciduous habitats (e.g. in Ecuador). Mainly found in lowlands and foothills, it has exceptionally been recorded up to an altitude of 1,800 m (5,900 ft) ASL.

Sometimes you hike up a mountain, get both feet soaked crossing a river, get lost, and then find that one waterfalll you had been looking for, only to get home and find that all your photos were terrible. You got skunked. Then other times, you are in just the right place, at just the right time, the batteries are full and the memory card is ready, and you get magic. There are some shoots when you come home with so many keepers that you feel spoiled! That was this shoot. I live in Oregon. I love the State, but I have to say, we are not the best when it comes to Christmas lights. Sorry, it's true. So, to get the full experience and we drove all the way out to Idaho, where they seem to get it right. This is Caldwell. This was actually about 3 years ago in Caldwell, but I got so many great images that I keep going back to that well for Christmas images.
In fact, I tried to shoot a different Christmas light image this year, but Oregon got me again. There is a covered bridge about an hour and half form where I live that gets a full Christmas decorating every year. I called the City to see when they would be up, she told me, so we headed out to shoot it. Well, I guess I got the info wrong, because there were no lights. So tried again the next weekend, only to find that the official lighting of the bridge was the next day. Oh Oregon. So about $150 in gas and 6 hours of my life would never get back, I still have no image of that bridge. If you want Christmas, go to Idaho.
The Rio de la Crea, (in English Chalk Canal), in Cannaregio one of the six sestieri of Venice in Veneto, Italy.
It gained its name as the site previously held deposits of raw clay used for the production of bricks. The full route of the canal was blocked in 1861 during the construction of Venezia Santa Lucia railway station
It is approximately 580 meters long. The modern canal starts from Canale Colambola, the canal splits with two separate parts both turning 90 degrees towards the Cannaregio Canal.
