Today my morning walk led over the fields and along the pasture of the Highland cattle. I hadn't visited them in quite a while and it was lovely to see them again. They are on a huge pasture and you don't always have a chance to get really close to them but I was lucky this time.
This swallowtail appears to have had a close call at some point - in an at-rest position. At least it's still balanced! In our yard, checking out one of my wife's flower pots.
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

'Cause baby we ain't got nothing without love
Darling you got enough for the both of us
So come on baby, make love to me
When my days look low, pull me in close and don't let me go
Make love to me, so when the worlds at war, that our love heal us all
Right now baby make love to me me me me me
Oh oh make love to me
Back to familiar places and favorite subjects... Our world seems to be, once again full of uncertainties and unhappy things... like rising gas prices and looming food shortages. It's exhausting. Familiar places that I love make me happy. Staying close to home again.... it's cheaper that way!
Kanga was always around me, but since she is smaller than the other squirrels, had to watch out, too (Squirrels-2021-6359.jpg)
A photographer forgetting about photography - shot taken by Dr Mike Gocman (he was trying to feed me to her Majesty's swans who, after all, were not amused).
The clouds over Port Talbot steelworks, S. Wales, glowing in the dark last night. Reminded me of a scene from Close Encounters.

The rain clouds and mist closing in over the mountain tops looking down the Nant Ffrancon Pass, Snowdonia as the winding river travels to the sea.
Managed to get one really clear photo of this cat. It was hiding in some heavy shadow.
This came in joint 3rd place in the Planet Earth Animals & Bird Group contest in April 2019.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Another red Dragonfly, this time he landed on my son. The closer I get the more I get to see the ugly bug parts.
Have A Beautiful Day

Whilst our Mallorcan inlander/highlander Flickr friends continue to find and photograph wonderful mushrooms, down here at Palma sea level, we are closing up the show for this season. This one was one of very few left in the forest this morning.
Wittnauer up Close one of the few watches I have found in buying odd boxes of things, this one is vintage, found in North Carolina.
Another shot from my trip to Well's last week.
No visit to Wells is complete without a visit to this famous spot, and on Wednesday last week, I managed to get it free of people for all of five minutes which was just enough time for me to get the shot I wanted.
Vicars’ Close, adjoining Wells Cathedral, is believed to be the most complete example of a medieval Close in the UK. This significant landmark was designed to provide communal accommodation for the Vicars Choral, who sang daily worship within the Cathedral. This centuries-old tradition continues today and is a unique and much valued part of life at Wells Cathedral.
The houses of the close were built in the 14th century under direction from Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury and the iconic chimneys were added in the 15th century. Originally 42 houses were built (one per vicar), but some were combined following the Reformation when vicars were allowed to marry. Today, the Close comprises 27 residences, a chapel, library, treasury and muniment room. There is also a dining hall connected to the Cathedral by a covered walkway, the Chain Gate Bridge.
Reflecting the Close’s significance, all its buildings are Grade I listed. The current occupants still include all twelve men of the Vicars Choral, plus the organists and virgers. Vicars Choral have remained at the heart of life at Wells Cathedral since the 1100s and are now recognised as a world-class choir.

This is a full frame shot of an encounter I had with a coyote. It was trotting directly towards me not knowing I was there behind my camera and tripod but I didn't have a clear shot until it was only a few yards away when it briefly came partially in the open allowing me only a few frames before it realized I was right in front of him, then without stopping, it quickly turned and ran off. It's not the best shot as far as composition goes with the ears and nose cut off but I never thought it would get this close! This is the only decent frame I got.

On a Saturday afternoon most shops close their doors by 4.00. The clock tells us why shoppers are hurrying away with their purchases as the low sun casts a golden glow over St John Street.
Sometimes the subject can get almost too close especially when using a 500mm prime lens. All things considered, I was pleased with this photo of the male Summer Tanager.

It's nice to be close to your subject but I've had times where they are too close. Not quite the case for this Goldeneye Drake, as I actually did crop in a little on this image.
