Hello Everyone!
Perhaps I am a simpleton, but it never ceases to amaze me that small birds can perch on little flowers! This was taken during fall migration and the Nashville Warbler was so intent on finding bugs that it paid no attention to me as I clicked away. A few passersby stopped to ask what I was seeing. It was heartwarming to see their delight as they stood by me and watched the action. This was one of those memorable days that we all hope to have now and again.
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving a comment. I do love hearing from you! Have a wonderful day and weekend!

Silent Lucidity
Queensrÿche
Hush now don't cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over
Or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run to in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize it and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly, you hear and see
This magic new dimension
I will be watching over you
I am gonna help you see it through
I will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity
Visualize your dream
Record it in the present tense
Put it into a permanent form
If you persist in your efforts
You can achieve dream control
Dream control
How's that then, better?
Dream control
Dream control (hug me)
Dream control
Hug me
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but
I will be watching over you
I am gonna help you see it through
I will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you

Thank you very much for your comments and for your favs.

They say you shouldn't photograph other people's art and on the whole I agree with that. In this case however, because this piece was so unique, I thought I would photograph it and show it because frankly it deserves to be seen. This piece is a near life size sculpture by a French artist named Emeric Chantier which we saw displayed in an art gallery in a wing of Chateau Malrome, which is Toulouse-Lautrec's former home near Bordeaux. When you see it in real life it is breath taking, so completely original.
For further info on the artist there is a page on the Chateau Malrome website that tells a little more about the artist:

Mural painting depicting the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus breastfeeding - with an angel watching, dating to the 14th century.
At the church Sant'Andrea, itself dating to the 13th century (first mentioned 1236 - when it replaced an earlier church at the same place) and built in the Romanesque style. The church was badly damaged by bombings during the second world war but has been restored to its original looks.
Fantasy Gacha Carnival is open! I found this adorable set by Yokai at the event and it made my little heart twitter. Although my little Child of Nature is wearing Moon Amore's new plastic outfit from Collabor.... but she has assured me that the outfit is made from 100% recycled plastic. :P And this hair. Oh this hair.......
Read the rest and grab the event and designer information on Threads & Tuneage
This is not my usual angle. Usually I don't recomended photographing kids from above. But sometimes that works as well. I edited this after midnight. I was working in the evening ( still need to because of tones of work ). My son fell asleep next to me on the floor. I closed the file with my project and opened Lightroom. This shot just caught my attention. Love those 5 minute edits!

I posted this mirrored bridge last year but thought I would try something new. My granddaughter kindly indulged me with a backyard leap and this is how I repaid her trust.
I hope she makes the leap.
While trying to capture this peak foliage scene a small child ran into my frame. I thought, "wow, isn't this serendipitous!" So I named him "Sunday's Child" since this shot was made on a Sunday in October.

Here what the last playing child did.
Charlie Burns, known as the King of Bacon Street, died in 2012 at the age of 96. He was born close to Bacon Street and moved to the street itself as a young child. He then lived here for the rest of his life, raising his own family here.
He was a paper merchant as a youngster, and later ran a local boxing club. He would be seen on Bacon Street every day. In his later years he’d be spotted sitting in his daughter’s car watching life around him. He was a great loss to the community when he died as witnessed by the crowds at his funeral and the many warm tributes given.
In 2011, the year before his death, street artist Ben Slow created a portrait of Charlie, and that wall in Bacon Street has since seen several visual tributes to the local hero, each created by a different street artist. As soon as one deteriorates it seems a new one is created.
