Never ceases to be amazed at these flowers.
Carefully, in order not to damage any of the flowers, I may lay down on my stomach, and can then lie there with the camera for hours.
A click for an enlargement is certainly worth it.
Thank you dear friends for all kind visit, comment and fav.

Never ceases to amaze me how hummingbirds can keep their bodies absolutely still (look at those tiny feet!) even when their wings are beating something like 15 times per second. Really is a miracle of nature...

" Even if the dark wouldn't guide me
I will be looking for proof in the soil
Shadows are black, their choruses, they turn
In the evening light
They washed away the evidence
In the river joy
Nothing is left of it
Just the pain of guilty eyes
And I follow, follow them down
I remember the time
When the dark felts were high
We were trampling lines
Looking up at the sky
Where is the future
We long for in life
Miss you from the bottom of my heart
And as the light of day moves faster I feel,
The loss of-
They washed away the evidence
In the river joy
Nothing is left of it
Just the pain of guilty eyes
And I follow, follow them down
I remember the time
When the dark felts were high
We were trampling lines
Looking up at the sky
When we cease to exist ... "

Thank you so much in advance my dear friends for the faves, awards and comments. Forgive me if I cant respond sometimes. Work has been stealing my time from Flickr. But for sure and 100% I read all your comments and always so grateful for it. Take care my sweet friends. Hugs to all 💞
I have scarcely left you
When you go in me, crystalline,
Or trembling,
Or uneasy, wounded by me
Or overwhelmed with love, as
when your eyes
Close upon the gift of life
That without cease I give you.
My love,
We have found each other
Thirsty and we have
Drunk up all the water and the
Blood,
We found each other
Hungry
And we bit each other
As fire bites,
Leaving wounds in us.
But wait for me,
Keep for me your sweetness.
I will give you too
A rose.

It never ceases to amaze us when one of these large birds takes to the air with effortless grace. As large as they are they seem weightless once airborne. The American White Pelican is one of the largest North American birds, they are majestic in the air. The birds soar with incredible steadiness on broad, white-and-black wings. Their large heads and huge, heavy bills give them a prehistoric look.
Kinda neat how we can capture a single moment in one photograph

Avebury Stone Circle, Wiltshire, UK
Well finally the rain has ceased for a few days and no work meetings! As I have a short trip coming up I decided not to trek off too far and with the forecast of widespread freezing fog and hoarfrost I thought I'd try Avebury Stone Circle as had never shot it in foggy conditions.
Th above shot was taken towards the end of my visit as the sun was burning off the fog. I was just experimenting with some different compositions. This is a 3 shot bracketed photo and, unusually for me, I chose a square crop as there was little foreground interest beyond frozen grass and no clouds in the sky.
Avebury henge and stone circles are one of the greatest marvels of prehistoric Britain. Built and much altered during the Neolithic period, roughly between 2850 BC and 2200 BC, the henge survives as a huge circular bank and ditch, encircling an area that includes part of Avebury village. Within the henge is the largest stone circle in Britain - originally of about 100 stones - which in turn encloses two smaller stone circles. Anyone interested in knowing more can look here www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/avebury/
The alternating wet and cold weather creates lots of work for my team as potholes break out like chickenpox spots but I'll take cold and dry over warm and wet any day. Surely only in England can we go from drought to ground water flooding in 6 months?!!
Hope everyone has been having a great weekend.

Berlin backyards never cease to give me the kick. I know this place very well and have been there many times. The great thing about it is, it always changes. Give it a year or two and then it will look totally different again. You may not believe that this is only a few hundred meters away from some of the most expensive areas in Berlin.
Why do I love this city so much?
Now you know...
The team behind map6collective chose me to take over their instastream this week.
Tune in. I will post a few of my personal faves there. Hope you will enjoy the tour...

It never ceases to amaze me how often a warbler who lands on a flowery perch continues to forage like this one. That certainly is food for thought. The perch is a Hawthorn. His wingbars especially in large look a bit whitish so good chance he has some B1ue-w1nged ancestry.

The towels cease to be toys when the sun goes down... it's time to sleep. He lies down, sleeps, wakes, and repeats the cycle. A cyclical existence devoid of mystery, forest, or freedom; nothing but repetition within walls never meant for him. A creature made for the treetops, living a life without adventure.
It had been a long time since I last went to the zoo. Chimpanzees always catch my eye with their almost human-like gestures. I managed to salvage this photo a bit; it was very dark, as it was overcast and there wasn't much light inside the enclosure. Next time, I'll bring a different lens for my camera.
is that its primary raw materials are light and time.

It never ceases to amaze me how a little light changes a view. This of course is Looking Glass Rock once more, instead of sunset, or afternoon light I opted to travel down here at 4 in the morning, setup a composition slowly, painstakingly... and not to mention in frigid temperatures. Not that it was very cold as far as the ambient temperature's were concerned, no it was only 37f, not awful... No the real problem was the wind, chill you to the bone in moments. If you want shots like this, you have to wait, be patient, not let the weather dissuade you. Photography takes setup, concentration, and the forethought to bring gloves. [No, seriously, I desperately need to get some dedicated gloves for this.] I watched other photographers come, give up because the clouds were blocking the first rays of light from the sun, and that to me is tragic. Wait a bit longer, salvage the shot, and plan for next time. I presently am waiting for a thermal inversion at this location, but that is all about patience, and a bit of luck.

The mountain never ceases to amaze.. every time, it gives you a new experience, a new feeling, a new chance to appreciate the beauty of the nature, and this way solidifies its presence in your life.
Once you've experienced all of this, there's no turning back to the mechanical world that we as a society have become.. and for that I am really thankful!

I never ceased to be envigorated by waves crashing on the shore. This was a very windy day and the tide was high. The waves were rolling in and crashing on the shore. The wind was so strong in the opposite direction (northerly) that it was blowing the crest of the wave in the opposite direction. You can also see the debris and shingle being tossed about in the wave as it breaks. If you look closely you can see a gull just to the left of the spray.
Gardens of Great Britain – National Open Garden Scheme - Furzelea
This is another series of photographs taken in the many National Open Gardens we have visited over a period time. It never ceases to amaze how many gardens there are just for Essex and the variety of planting they show, long may it continue. The Yellow Book lives.
This is the second of three postings.

Never ceases to amaze me when the sun just catches the head of many of our common ducks and portrays some beautiful colors which are normally hidden from view as can be seen in this Pintail duck
These huge birds never cease to amaze me. As large as they are, they are graceful gliders when in the air. It takes them awhile to get airborne after a lot of "wing-flapping", but they remain one of my favorite birds.
Animals never cease to surprise me. Miss Piggy, a Kunekune pig, lives on a little farm which is part of the park where I went yesterday to watch the ducklings. I walked past the farm on my way to the pond and noticed Miss Piggy on the pasture. Actually Miss Piggy is hard to overlook as she is huge but what caught my attention was the fact that she seemed to be very interested in the dandelions. I zoomed closer and this is what I saw, a pig blowing a dandelion ! I should really go to this park more often, the animals there seem to be quite fascinating .....
This is a pretty dark image from last Sunday's walk. Even though I really love all of autumn's beautiful colors, I also find myself being drawn to its dark side :) Hope you like it!
The prayer of a soul at judgment
In ancient Egypt the jackal god Anubis led the soul into the halls of Maat (truth) where his or her heart would be weighed by the god Osiris against a feather.
It was important that you were not concerned with the trivia of life "I have not learnt the things that are not.."
To enter paradise you had to answer negatively to a list of transgressions that were different for every walk of life.
If your heart was light of sin you passed into the blissful Field of Reeds.
Should your heart not be found pure it would be thrown to the floor and devoured by Amut the gobbler. You would then cease to exist.
The ancient Egyptians were profoundly spiritual and their prayers (Egyptian Book of the Dead) read like poetic psalms and probably influenced the Biblical psalms.
Years ago we visited Egypt with my Dad but at the moment the Royal BC Museum is hosting an Egyptian exhibit.

We did. One of those moments Sandi and I will remember forever. (From our unpublished Archives - October, 2012)
Horseshoe Bend - Glen Canyon, Colorado River, Page, Arizona
It ceased to hurt me, though so slow
I could not feel the Anguish go—
But only knew by looking back—
That something—had benumbed the Track—
Nor when it altered, I could say,
For I had worn it, every day,
As constant as the Childish frock—
I hung upon the Peg, at night.
But not the Grief—that nestled close
As needles—ladies softly press
To Cushions Cheeks—
To keep their place—
Nor what consoled it, I could trace—
Except, whereas 'twas Wilderness—
It's better—almost Peace—
Emily Dickinson
I'm still alive! :-) My PC experienced a sudden and catastrophic cease fire, wouldn't even start up. I tried keeping up on Tonia's computer but between her and the cat I couldn't get to it.
anyway, hope all are well, I'll do my best to catch up, seeing as how the camera is in the shop that should be doable.
HWW!!
yet another brownstone in NY, but I couldn't pass this up. :-)
Kronborg (Danish pronunciation: is a castle and historical stronghold in the town of Helsingør, Denmark. Immortalised as Elsinore in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, Kronborg is one of the most important Renaissance castles in Northern Europe. It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000.
The castle is situated on the extreme northeastern tip of the island of Zealand at the narrowest point of the Øresund, the sound between present Denmark and the provinces of present Sweden. The latter were under Danish control at the time the castle was built. In this part, the sound is only 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) wide, hence the strategic importance of maintaining a coastal fortification at this location commanding one of the few outlets of the Baltic Sea.
The castle's story dates back to a stronghold, Krogen, built by King Eric VII in the 1420s. Along with the fortress Kärnan in Helsingborg, on the opposite coast of Øresund, it controlled the entrance to the Baltic Sea. From 1574 to 1585, King Frederick II had the medieval fortress radically transformed into a magnificent Renaissance castle. The main architects were the Flemings Hans Hendrik van Paesschen and Anthonis van Obbergen. The sculptural work was coordinated by Gert van Groningen.
In 1629, a fire destroyed much of the castle, but King Christian IV subsequently had it rebuilt. The castle has a church within its walls. In 1658, Kronborg was besieged and captured by the Swedes, who took many of its valuable art treasures as war booty.
In 1785 the castle ceased to be a royal residence and was converted into barracks for the Army. The Army left the castle in 1923. After a thorough renovation, the complex was opened to the public.
to love is to battle, to open doors,
to cease to be a ghost with a number
forever in chains, forever condemned
by a faceless master;
the world changes
if two look at each other and see ...
...
if two, dizzy and entwined, fall
on the grass: the sky comes down, trees
rise, space becomes nothing but light
and silence ...
from sunstone
octavio paz
He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
(Psalm 46:9-10)
One thing that doesn't cease to amaze me about SL is how long lasting relationships can form there. Kennedy here is one of my oldest friendships; close to 12 years now (I just checked!), pictured here between tattoo appointments.
She's been working on her 3D chops and has a budding brand called Lushly that can be found here!
Inside the machinery and unsold product is still lying around as if it was only yesterday that production ceased. It’s like everybody just walked off the job forty years ago and never came back.
There are moments when light ceases to be a physical phenomenon and becomes a caress. In this shot of the first almond trees (Prunus dulcis), I sought to capture that golden embrace of sunset, working on a slow edit where the reduction of clarity in the contours creates an almost liquid atmosphere.
My intention was for the viewer to not only see the flower, but also feel the warmth of the sun filtering through the petals, as if spring were a dream that had just awakened.
What feeling envelops you as you walk through this light? Does it transport you to a peaceful stroll or evoke the nostalgia of an eternal sunset? I would love to hear your interpretation in the comments.
Hay instantes donde la luz deja de ser un fenómeno físico para convertirse en una caricia. En esta captura de los primeros almendros (Prunus dulcis), he buscado atrapar ese abrazo dorado del atardecer, trabajando una edición pausada donde la reducción de claridad en los contornos genera una atmósfera casi líquida.
Mi intención era que el espectador no solo viera la flor, sino que sintiera la calidez del sol filtrándose entre los pétalos, como si la primavera fuera un sueño que acaba de despertar.
¿Qué sensación os envuelve al recorrer esta luz? ¿Os transporta a un paseo tranquilo o os evoca la nostalgia de un atardecer eterno? Me encantaría conocer vuestra interpretación en los comentarios.
It never ceases to amaze me that people think they have climbed a mountain by parking on a roadside near the top and walking a few feet, I guess that's a sign of ageing, a different generation. In my day few had cars and we walked from the nearest village way below out of sight. At least these people are active, some even run the fells. On Sundays the car parks are full if you don't arrive early. I don't like crowds and would normally try to avoid them but on holiday one has to seize the best weather days.
