Don't cry now

You know it happens to the best of us

Goodbye now

And don't forget about the rest of us

I'm staying

You never know if they can use me here

I'm praying

I won't be looking when you disappear

And everybody's looking out

For close encounters of another kind

And it won't help me if I shout

But I'm getting pretty close this time

You're on my mind

Don't worry

I should have told you to beware of me

Don't hurry

Come back to see whatever's left of me

I've cried some

But I suppose I'm getting colder now

You've died some

But even you are getting older now

And everybody's looking out

For close encounters of another kind

And it won't help me if I shout

But I'm getting pretty close this time

You're on my mind, all of the time

Don't cry now

Don't cry now

In onze tuin staat een afgezaagde amerikaanse eik. Elk jaar loopt ie toch weer uit met grote kleurrijke bladeren. Dit is een close-up van een van die bladeren.

 

In our garden stands a cut-down American oak. Every year, it sprouts new leaves with large, colorful foliage. This is a close-up of one of those leaves.

 

Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.

These redshank are finding space at a premium on the Dove Point breakwater during one of the highest tides of the year.

This log must have fallen in a recent storm as it's not usually there. The birds were having a field day using it as a perch.

Closeness is never an accident.

It happens when both stay.

When no one looks away.

When the gaze is held, even knowing what it might cause.

A close barn owl flypast

A huge flock of snow geese took off from the field directly adjoining the trail and nearly flew into us. This is not a cropped photo, this is how close they were to us. What an experience! Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, Kleinfeltersville, Pennsylvania.

Macro Monday - Utensils and Tools

... of the best kind! As a diver, a shark encounter is among the most exciting and thrilling. Their seemingly effortless glide through the water is mesmerizing. But most surprising may be their curiosity. Their eyes are expressionless, suggesting that they are mere machines. Nevertheless, they certainly conveyed a sense in their close passes that they were wondering what we were doing in their domain. We weren't stirring up fish for them to eat and they lingered well past the point of realizing that we were not food. (Nor were we chumming.) So maybe we were just a distraction from their mundane activities. Don't we all need that!

 

This is a caribbean reef shark (Carcharhinus perezi), estimated to be about 1.5m, so probably a young one. (Mature ones are 2-2.5m.) They are listed as near-threatened by IUCN. Why anyone would intentionally harvest sharks from the ocean is beyond me.

 

The earlier image I posted from the dive provided a better sense of the reef terrain. This shot, looking slightly up, includes the wave patterns from the surface (we are in about 8m of water).

   

This one foot long blue tongue lizard was wandering our streets in the middle of the roadway, so I gently nudged it in the direction of some safer garden areas, but it came straight back out onto the pathway again. I wasn't really very close taking this - minimum focus distance is 20 feet, but I got as low as I could for the shot. I made sure it moved back to safety again.

This Black vulture (Coragyps atratus) was more interested in the 'former racoon' than me. There were several around but this fellow was almost too close. The Springfield Nature Center's 'Circle of Life' was quite evident.
