I know that is not so polite to overlook or overhear the conversation of some strangers... actually I was interested in shooting this beautiful small fountain near Via Babuino but “the laws of street photography” and very “speakable” poses of those men made me break the rules of politeness, especially it was “the time of closing arguments”...
The golden time of the evening had but a minute or two left when CP 255 made its appearance. By the time the near 7500 foot train passed, the sun went behind the horizon so this was as close as it gets. The SD60, CP 6248 glows in the last rays of the day as it heads eastward up the Galt sub at the 7th Concession in Puslinch.

This is a friend of Taty holding her newly delivered turquise crystal skull while Taty was taking photos of both. It was a month or so ago, but I thought to place these now here and wish you a great blue Monday and a superb week ahead from me Willem and Taty.
No Post Processing used - no treatments, no cropping, and as is from the camera. The only thing added is the water mark - signature.
Georgina is featured in this clip, she doesn't appear to like tour helicopter noise, they run up and down the coast. She did come rather close to me I was prepared with bear spray, fortunatley not required. This day I was shooting by myself so I'm sure she was a little more comforatble than pervious days.

Anna's Hummingbird
Henderson, Nevada
The Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) is a dazzling, jewel-like bird native to the western United States, Mexico, and parts of Canada. Known for their iridescent plumage, the males sport brilliant metallic pink or red throats, known as gorgets, which shimmer in sunlight. Their heads can also display a vibrant pink crown, while the rest of their plumage is primarily green and gray. Females and juveniles lack the vivid head coloring but still have hints of iridescence on their throats.
These birds are small, measuring about 4 inches (10 cm) long with a wingspan of 4.7 inches (12 cm), yet their energy and agility are extraordinary. Anna's Hummingbirds are famed for their high-speed flight, including acrobatic dives during courtship, where males can reach speeds of nearly 50 mph (80 km/h).
Adaptable and vocal, they emit a sharp, metallic "chip" and a high-pitched whistle. They are frequent visitors to flowers, feeders, and gardens, sipping nectar with their long, specialized beaks and tongues, while also preying on tiny insects for protein. Unlike many hummingbirds, Anna’s Hummingbirds can stay in one area year-round, even in cooler climates, thanks to their ability to enter torpor—a state similar to hibernation—on cold nights.
Close to you I will always stay.
Close to you, though you're far away.You'll always be near, as though you were here by my side.
No matter where, in my dreams, I'll find you there.Close to me, sharing your caress.
Can't you see you're my happiness?Wherever you go, my heart will go too.
What can I do?
It only wants to be close to you.
Wherever you go, my heart will go too.
What can I do?

A view down Elmslac Close into the Market Place in Helmsley complete with the wonderful example of electrical wiring.
The building on the right is the Black Swan Hotel so beware there are no ghosts looking out of the windows. I think this is the Elizabethan section but overall the hotel has a history dating back more than 500 years.. So it's unsurprising there's a few resident spooks too
If you zoom into the market square the detail is quite clear I always think of this as the distant past looking in at today's so called better life as we rush from here to there
Helmsley is a market town and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, the town is located at the point where Rye Dale leaves the moorland and joins the flat Vale of Pickering. (wiki)
Juvenile Yellow-crowned Night-Heron
This summer we enjoyed having some Juvenile Yellow-crowned Night-Herons visit Wildwood Lake
Wildwood Lake, Harrisburg, PA.
A trip to the OKC Zoo provided some close eagle shots. These birds always have such a fierce expression. But, their voices are wimpy- don't match their appearance. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Close-up of a female Bluebird. I have been away for a bit, our power was out for awhile during almost 0 degree f weather and it took me awhile to recover lol!

Hold on a minute
I don't want to go outside
I don't want to face my pride
There's a limit to how long I can wait
To how long I can take before I start to show
How close I am to letting go of myself
I've been waiting so, so long
But here we are now
Here we are now
I will judge myself
Guilty of loving you too much
I will smother you just to feel your touch
I will offer you my whole self, not just my best
You can take me as I come or discard me like the rest
Take me by the hand
And show me to the world
I am nothing but a man
You are nothing but a girl
Oh, how long can I take before I start to show
How close I am to letting go of myself
Hold on a minute
I don't want to go outside
I don't want to face my pride
There's a limit to how long I can wait
To how long I can take before I start to show
How close I am to letting go of myself
