"we have a chance in which there are no rules"

If you plant one dandelion, chances are you’ll soon have about eight hundred to pull up.

Dandelions reproduce asexually, so each new dandelion is a genetic copy of its parent plant

... are like sunrises who waits too long,

if she misses

Chancen....

... sind wie Sonnenaufgänge, wer zu lange wartet,

verpasst sie

You do not do any favors on loving someone

Neither me, neither me

Who invented love was not me

It was not me, was not me

Nor me or anyone else

 

Love happens in life

You were off guard and by chance I was too

And as chances are important, darling

Of our lives, life also made a chance

What is it? It's the No Chance Saloon. It's Bedrock Bar, The End of the Line Cafe, The Bottom of the Sea Rathskeller! Don't you notice the beautiful calm in the atmosphere? That's because it's the last harbor. No one here has to worry about where they're going next, because there is no farther they can go. It's a great comfort to them. Although even here they keep up the appearances of life with a few harmless pipe dreams about their yesterdays and tomorrows, as you'll see for yourself if you're here long.

Puisque j'ai la chance et le bonheur d'avoir beaucoup de vie sauvage et surtout d'oiseaux chez moi et au alentour ça attire automatiquement les prédateurs...

L'année passée, j'ai creusé la neige et installé ma petite tente camouflage que j'ai adapté avec un drap blanc et des épingle à couche afin d'essayer de me fondre dans le décor. Je voulais essayer de capturer des oiseaux au vol avec mon nouveau boîtier R5 et aussi être plus discret au cas où elle ( la Pie-grièche ) viendrait qu'à se présenter autour de mon installation # 2 de mangeoires sur les rives du lac là ou la lumière est favorable une partie de la journée et qui est son endroit de prédilection pour la chasse aux petits oiseaux pour elle. J'ai eu l'occasion d'observer cette superbe Pie-grièche à plusieurs reprises lors de mes sessions de photographie, elle a même attaqué des Gros-bec errant avec succès à ma grande surprise bien que ces proies favorites était beaucoup plus petites. Ce que je peu vous affirmez avec certitude c'est que c'est très rapide et très farouche comme oiseau de proie...

 

P.s Si vous vous demandez pourquoi je n'affiche pas plus sur Flickr et que j'avais délaissé le média et bien ce matin j'ai seulement 0.06 Mbps de Download et 0.04 Mbps de Upload chez moi... C'est long en maudit afficher une photo et commenter vos photos chaque jour...

  

Residence, Duhamel, Quebec, Canada

 

Since I am very lucky to have a lot of wild life and especially birds at home and around it automatically it attracts predators...

Last year, I dug the snow and set up my little camouflage tent, which I adapted with a bed white sheet and diaper pins to hold it to try to blend in with the snow. I wanted to try to capture birds in flight with my new R5 camera and also be more discreet in case it (the Northern Shrike) just happened to show up around my feeders installation # 2 on the shores of the lake where the light is favorable part of the day and the favorite hunting spot for small birds for the Shrike. I had the opportunity to observe this superb Northern Shrike several times during my photography sessions. It even attacked Evening Grosbeaks successfully to my surprise although here favorite preys were much smaller birds and mouses. What I can tell you with certainty is that it is very fast and very skittish bird of prey...

 

Ps If you're wondering why I don't post more on Flickr and that I had neglected the media, well this morning I only have 0.06 Mbps of Download and 0.04 Mbps of Upload at home... It's a long time to post and comment on your photos every day...

an image from the beginning of our journey 8 days ago which pretty much sums up the emotion of being on Icelandic roads.

 

Happy Monochrome Monday!

♫P!NK - Walk Me Home

"...Walk me home in the dead of night

'Cause I can't be alone with all that's on my mind

Say you'll stay with me tonight

'Cause there is so much wrong going on

Walk me home in the dead of night..."

A Chance Encounter..

 

Peaches.. The smell of peaches captured my attention..

It was unusual for such a crisp autumn day

Looking up from my usual coffee and paper morning routine to find its source..

I saw her.. she was young.. yet elegantly dressed with a sophisticated presence..

She was struggling with a huge great Dane.. which gave me a chuckle as he did not want to walk any further and he was clearly winning the argument.

She sat down and ordered ..I glanced back at my paper, but something about her demanded my attention..

A slight breeze blew by as she tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ears..

I grabbed my sketch book and tried to capture her in that moment..

I began to wonder.. let my mind drift and a story began to form.. surprising myself as many months had past without any.

Words.. began to flow it was difficult to keep up with..

I look up.. she had gone.. small sense of disappointment flashed across my mind.. but smiling knowing the story had just begun.

Premièrement j'aimerais vous remercier toutes et tous pour vos merveilleux commentaires et favoris, ils sont très appréciés.

 

Californie, USA.

 

Californie l'hiver passée.

Ciel gris et une lumière dure pas facile encore une fois... Mais comment résister la chance de capturer ce superbe et rarissime mâle qui passait à proximité.

 

Firstly I would like to thank you all for your wonderful comments and favorites, they are very appreciated.

 

California, USA.

 

California last winter.

Gray sky and a hard light not easy for flight shot once again ... But how to resist the chance to capture this beautiful and extremely rare male who passed nearby.

St. John the Baptist's Church (15th ct.) in Ribčev Laz on Lake Bohinj, Slovenia

 

Here, just by chance, we're caught, in the shade

staring, surprised, into eyes of the past

while watching the ducks as they circle the pond

It seems they are hands on a clock sweeping time

where silence is gentler,... because now we are friends

 

Today, on this bench, lost men will linger,

while waiting for nothing, and no place to go

Once we had claimed this 'our' place to hold hands,

planning a future that never began

Children we were with the world at command

I'm glad we aren't talking in circles, .. like then

 

Other children are playing in the rust afternoon,

zippered up tight, against winter wind

Talking of children..you tell me there's two

You show me a photo,…then, I share a few

 

I am all out of bread, as the sun starts to fade

taking away all the stains of the day

East of the bandstand shadows grow long,

falling in corners like memories do

 

We've learned to know twilight can be bittersweet

And taste what dim recall has only allowed

Goodbyes are said, and you then, kiss my cheek, ..

then you turn and you wave, as you are crossing the street

 

Left wondering now, where those lost men will go,

it worries my brow, what lost men will eat

A shadow of you, is still left in the park, …

of us holding hands, as it starts to get dark

I leave a few dollars here, on our bench

Checking my watch,… I will leave no regrets.

 

(While Feeding the Ducks by Carrie Richards)

  

A chance encounter, a touch of fate, chosen for her purity? I had this bouncing around in my head for a while, but a landmark from a special someone brought it to fruition. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

 

Great titles do nothing Beautiful slogans mean nothing Love is a sentimental hodgepodge Write, look, die, fight, then lose it We're familiar with battles and numbers We've got no chance to win alone This sick ambition up closle will turn any plan into ashes We're familiar with battles and numbers We've got no chance to win alone And it's not worth it anymore, we've become void There's an emptiness all around, maybe we'll fill it up We'll replace sweet lies with truth The emptiness will disappear, we'll fill it up together Out of breath The pulse quickens Out of breath The pulse quickens Great titles do nothing They'll not see their own pride The ego got lost in its thoughts, exits, profits Too much loss In love with numbers, drinks, exposed to another shot This sick ambition up closle will turn any plan into ashes We're familiar with battles and numbers We've got no chance to win alone And it's not worth it anymore, we've become void There's an emptiness all around, maybe we'll fill it up We'll replace sweet lies with truth The emptiness will disappear, we'll fill it up together And it's not worth it anymore, we've become void There's an emptiness all around, maybe we'll fill it up We'll replace sweet lies with truth The emptiness will disappear, we'll fill it up together Out of breath The pulse quickens Out of breath The pulse quickens

 

..for you Rita (oohed and ahedduck)..

and Punkin :-)

 

hope you like

 

..And now you're all I long to see

You've come to mean so much to me

 

Chances are I'll see you

....In my dreams tonight

You'll be smiling like the night we met

Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer

All I have..

мy мυѕιc "Simply Red - Holding back the years"

 

Taken @ Where our ourney begins

 

"Holding back the years

Thinking of the fear I've had so long

When somebody hears

Listen to the fear that's gone

Strangled by the wishes of pater

Hoping for the arms of mater

Get to me the sooner or later, oh

 

Holding back the years

Chance for me to escape from all I know

Holding back the tears

'Cause nothing here has grown

I've wasted all my tears

Wasted all those years

Nothing had the chance to be good

Nothing ever could, yeah, oh

 

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on, so tight"

As I waited for the fog to clear somewhat for another photo, I saw this silver birch tree behind me. Love how it's given itself a fighting chance to grab some sunlight from underneath the canopy of pine trees. I guess I'm rooting for it (pun well and truly intended).

Reflections of water, a millisecond in the timespan of the earth

...driving down a local country lane to capture frost and fog saw these Roe Deer running across a field knowing they would cross this track,so jumped out of the car and quickly took this-very much-grab shot!

You, Beloved, who are all

the gardens I have ever gazed at,

longing. An open window

in a country house —, and you almost

stepped out, pensive, to meet me.

Streets that I chanced upon,—

you had just walked down them and vanished.

And sometimes, in a shop, the mirrors

were still dizzy with your presence and, startled,

gave back my too-sudden image. Who knows?

perhaps the same bird echoed through both of us

yesterday, separate, in the evening...

~ Rilke

 

Photo taken at Goatswood. DO visit this build, take your time to discover the stories that are peppered throughout this eerily beautiful village.

Love. It is an emotion that moves and inspires us, whether towards your partner, your parents, siblings, your pet, your country and also one that can feel impossible to adequately express. We just feel it and most of the time it is reciprocated. For a better world, give love a chance!

 

▪Thank you very much for your visit and for taking your time to comment! Much appreciated!▪

I am always on the lookout for a good sunset. For me a good sunset needs some clouds to give it just the right pop. Chances tonight were 50/50. I think I won.

 

While I've shot this location several times before I finally feel like this is post worthy.
