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

More from the Garnet Ghost Town in western Montana, a wonderful place to visit, several miles back off highway 200. It's worth the detour.

Thanks for looking.
Vicars' Close, in Wells, Somerset, England, is claimed to be the oldest purely residential street with original buildings surviving intact in Europe.J
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.

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 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.

'cause if i want you
then i want you babe
ain't goin' backwards
won't ask for space
'cause space was just a word
made up by someone who's afraid to get too
close
oh so close
i want you close
space was just a word
made up by someone who's afraid to get
close
oh so close
i want you close
oh, i want you close
then close ain't close enough, no

... 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 is a close-up photo of sediment laden water seeping across the beach sand at Clam Harbour Beach.
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.
I got this amazing close up of one of the two new visitors and they are beautiful but I am missing my usual, rough around the edges little one. I am hoping that he is ok and has just moved on for the time being. In fact the new two are not fighting each other so one must be a female. So hard to tell them apart.
