Bhutanese boy.. probably the quesion is "to eat or to play?"

Grey Heron and a Magpie sit happily together contemplating.

I think I might need a little help with this.

She's perched on top of a ladder contemplating a bit of exploration in our house roof space.

We're decorating a room at the moment and the wall boards have been removed on the outside wall giving access to the eaves and roof space, a very exciting place for a cat! And yes she did make the jump and spent hours up there and was very reluctant to come back down :-)

Flypaper textured.

Daily Dog Challenge: Lucky ... to live so close to these beautiful walks. Lucky she didn't know what tomorrow would bring ... more lumps removed.

Paddle boarder taking a moment to take in the beauty around Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver. Unfortunately, during the "lazy, hazy days of Summer," this was one of the truly hazy days from all the smoke of BC's wildfires drifting down to the Coast. Still, I was struck by this fellow contemplating the beauty nonetheless.

It was one of those crazy busy days at the office; so busy that I didn't get a chance to actually eat my lunch. So, needless to say I was pretty hungry by the time I came home.

 

Grabbed my camera and took a few shots of the birds flying from tree to tree in the backyard.

 

Just a quick shot today, but I like the way it came out for lighting and space so I'm not disappointed.

 

Anyway, hope everyone has had a good day.

Contemplating

 

The sea whispers secrets to the shore,

Each crest and fall, a timeless dance,

Salt-laced air, a breath of might,

The horizon blurs, day yields to night.

In its vastness, I glimpse my place,

A fleeting speck in endless space.

 

please press the L button and stay for a while and may be listen...

 

Summer's coming to a close here.

I tried some long exposures with an old Canon film camera. I got in this shot and I liked the way it turned out! "C" for 26FILM group.

My next voyage will take a little longer and I will visit more ports than this trip. Early January I will be sailing west from Amsterdam.

hopeful for change in the right direction.

hopeful for Peace.

hopeful that we will start from Love.

Ah, the life of a seagull. Set up only a short 100 metre flight from the fish and chip shop at Cleveland Point, Redlands, South East Queensland. Waiting for some gullible human to offer a single, solitary chip and then it will be on for young and old!
