Where it all started, or where you can find out how it started.
There are stories that should not be forgotten... Well, perhaps we should never forget. From memories, from the past and from our history we learn. Today I begin to record the result of my investigations. A task that has taken me a year, a long year of wandering between the shelves of the Carnelian Archive, where all the Fairlands chronicles are kept. The dust, the smell of leather, paper and history have been my faithful companions in this search, which is now over. It was something personal, yes. It has already been lost in time and in the silence of my relatives over the years, but I needed to know the truth. And the truth, like a polished diamond with countless faces, is not as simple as they imagined. There is no good or bad, but a mixture of the two whose balance maintains the Universe. Anyway, this is not the time to ramble. I think I should pick up the scattered fragments, hinted at in these flickr posts, and tell the whole story, though maybe not the whole truth, who knows....
Indeed, I don't know how to catalog this building since despite having very close, I have never made the slightest case. They are of those constructions that by habitual go completely unnoticed like as masia, it does not seem and like mansion, even less.
I have seen it in all its states. More than 30 years ago in full performance with everything on your site. Later, half collapsed with the roof sunken and completely abandoned. Then with the poster for "For Sale"
Some day, someone bought or leased it because the poster disappeared and the new owner only bleached the tower, fix the tiles and little else. I believe that only part of the building is inhabited.
I am very aware that if the walls had been painted and the garden arranged, the photo would have been much better, more beautiful. But there is what there is.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
En verdad, no sabría como catalogar este edificio ya que a pesar de tenerlo muy cerca, jamás le había hecho el mas mínimo caso. Son de aquellas construcciones que por habituales pasan completamente desapercibidas pues como masía, no me cuadra y como mansión, aun menos.
La he visto en todos sus estados. Hace más de 30 años a pleno rendimiento con todo en su sitio. Mas tarde, medio derruida con la techumbre hundida y completamente abandonada. luego con el cartel de "En venta"
Algún día, alguien la compro o arrendó ya que el cartel desapareció y el nuevo propietario se limito a blanquear la torre, arreglar las tejas y poco más. Yo creo que solo una parte del edificio está habitado
Soy muy consciente de que si las paredes hubieran estado pintadas y el jardín arreglado, la foto habría quedado mucho mejor, más bonita. Pero hay lo que hay.
Can you feel the sky, and let your soul and spirit fly?
Wenn die Sonne auf das Meer trifft... Können Sie das Meer riechen, den Himmel spüren und Ihre Seele und Ihren Geist davonfliegen lassen?
Cuando el sol se encuentra con el mar ... ¿Puedes oler el mar, sentir el cielo y dejar volar tu alma y tu espíritu?
Quand le soleil rencontre la mer... Pouvez-vous sentir la mer, sentir le ciel et laisser votre âme et votre esprit s'envoler?
Taiyō ga umi to deau toki… umi no nioi o kagi, sora o kanji, tamashī to seishin o tobashite kuremasen ka?
You can live years next door to a big pine tree, honored to have so venerable a neighbor, even when it sheds needles all over your flowers or wakes you, dropping big cones onto your deck at still of night.

♫ My Favourite Time of Year - The Florin Street Band ♫
Verse 1
Lanterns lighting up the town,
Peace on earth is all around,
Everything is calm on Christmas Eve.
There's goodwill in the air tonight,
Angels sing by candle light,
Their voices carried on the wind.
When carol singers gather round,
When I hear that festive sound,
I wanna join with them and sing!
Chorus
They sing a merry song and we all sing along,
A festive melody that tells us Christmas time is here.
See the stars tonight; they're shining bright,
'Cause it's Christmas time and it's my favourite time of year.
Verse 2
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Give me mistletoe; it's the season to be jolly,
Wrapping presents, writing cards, helping decorate the tree,
But there's one thing that makes it all for me.
When carol singers gather round,
Angel voices fill the town,
It's like the world is joining in!
(Noel, Noel, Noel)
Chorus
They sing a merry song and we all sing along,
A festive melody that tells us Christmas time is here.
See the stars tonight; they're shining bright,
'Cause it's Christmas time and it's my favourite time of year.
Middle 8
Christmas Eve,
Still believe,
So excited,
Can't sleep,
When the morning comes,
Church bells ring,
And he's been!
Chorus
They sing a merry song and we all sing along,
A festive melody that tells us Christmas time is here.
See the stars tonight; they're shining bright,
'Cause it's Christmas time and it's my favourite time of year.
And it's my favourite time of year
(Noel, Noel)
On these cold December days I long for the heat of the summer, and all the flowers and wildlife it brings.

I can hear you but I won't
Some look for trouble while others don't
There's a thousand reasons I should go about my day
And ignore your whispers, which I wish would go away, oh-oh-oh
You're not a voice
You're just a ringing in my ear
And if I heard you, which I don't
I'm spoken for, I fear
Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls
I'm sorry, secret siren, but I'm blocking out your calls
I've had my adventure, I don't need something new
I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
What do you want? 'Cause you've been keeping me awake
Are you here to distract me so I make a big mistake?
Or are you someone out there who's a little bit like me?
Who knows deep down I'm not where I'm meant to be?
Every day's a little harder as I feel my power grow
Don't you know there's part of me that longs to go
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Where are you going?
Don't leave me alone
How do I follow you
Into the unknown?
but you can't hide.
Hop-A-Long was sitting on the edge of a flower pot near this lavender bush as some little birds were skittering around using it for cover. He jumped down on the bush and tried to get a little bird, but many of you will be glad to hear, he didn't get it this time
Can not think of this butterfly's name; it's common but first time I've photographed one. Thanks to Nancy who ID'd it as a Cloudless Sulphur.
Would not oblige me by sitting still for very long.
Doing well over here in Minnesota...how about you?
Thanks for your vist, flickr friends...Pat..xo
You are stronger than you think.
Rule #1 of cub club: climb higher than your sibling. And if you are picking a person to go take pictures with in bear country, make sure you can outrun them. LOL
I saw something on Facebook last night that lingers on my mind today. It was about a rodeo couple I photographed many times over the years. I always admired their marriage because they seemed so happy together and the camera never lies. I didn't really 'know' them except though the lens and few chats over pictures. He was a true cowboy to the core and she was pretty talented horse woman with a rope and a winning smile. It was so evident how much they loved their many grandkids. Their ending was a sad one. She courageously battled an illness and passed at 64 in June. He died last week at 74 of a broken heart from missing the love of his life too much. How lucky were they to find a love like that. Most people don't find that their whole lives.
Anyway, I'm off to the rodeo. Happy Saturday everyone!
Sometimes accepting that you cannot control everything is the most sensible thing to do. Just accept what is happening and do what is necessary.

Junger Höckerschwan / Juvenile mute swan / Cygne muet juvénile
Dieser junge Höckerschwan ist vermutlich in 2022 zur Welt gekommen. Er hatte im Dezember letzten Jahres schon eine stattliche Größe, nur der Schnabel ist noch nicht orange durchgefärbt. Anscheinend war er hungrig, denn er hatte ständig den Kopf unter Wasser und ab und zu kam er mit Wasserpflanzen im Schnabel wieder hoch. Er machte einen sehr entspannten Eindruck.
This young mute swan is believed to have been born in 2022. In December last year it was already quite large, but the beak was not yet completely orange. Apparently he was hungry because his head was constantly under water and every now and then he came back up with water plants in his beak. He seemed very relaxed.
Ce jeune cygne muet serait né en 2022. En décembre de l'année dernière, il était déjà assez gros, mais le bec n'était pas encore complètement orange. Apparemment, il avait faim car sa tête était constamment sous l'eau et de temps en temps il revenait avec des plantes aquatiques dans son bec. Il semblait très détendu.

……. We can certainly vouch for the fact that Derwent water (pictured) & Bassenthwaite lake were both well up on previous years! Must Google 'How to build an Ark'!....... Alan:-)

You might remember the little Barn Owl I posted at the end of February. Here he is again, same day, same tree cavity, just getting a little bored. Feel free to view large - has some pretty nice detail even at ISO 3200, full 62 mp frame, uncropped.
