"Thinking with a feather
Moving it round the surface
It contemplates with me
Flowing, helping me make decisions
Lines carved deep within the metal
Waiting for the ink to be pushed into them
They will tell my story forever to be seen
Will someone read my story the way i drew it?
or will they bring their own visions to mine creating a merger of lives?"
- My Subconcious Thoughts
Contemplating the snow. This little downy woodpecker sat on this limb for quite a time - letting me take several shots

"Bridget always had a special devotion to Christ's Passion, contemplating in it God's infinite love for human beings. She boldly places these words on the lips of the Lord who speaks to her: “O my friends, I love my sheep so tenderly that were it possible I would die many other times for each one of them that same death I suffered for the redemption of all” (Revelationes, Book I, c. 59). The sorrowful motherhood of Mary, which made her Mediatrix and Mother of Mercy, is also a subject that recurs frequently in the Revelations."
– Pope Benedict XVI, speaking of today's saint, Bridget of Sweden.
My sermon for the feast of St Bridget can be read here.
After fishing, cormorants go ashore, and are frequently seen holding their wings out in the sun. All cormorants have preen gland secretions that are used ostensibly to keep the feathers waterproof. Some sources[1] state that cormorants have waterproof feathers while others say that they have water permeable feathers. Still others suggests that the outer plumage absorbs water but does not permit it to penetrate the layer of air next to the skin. The wing drying action is seen even in the flightless cormorant but commonly in the Antarctic shags and red-legged cormorants. Alternate functions suggested for the spread-wing posture include that it aids thermoregulation, digestion, balances the bird or indicates presence of fish. A detailed study of the Great Cormorant concludes that it is without doubt] to dry the plumage.
Cormorants are colonial nesters, using trees, rocky islets, or cliffs. The eggs are a chalky-blue colour. There is usually one brood a year. The young are fed through regurgitation. They typically have deep, ungainly bills, showing a greater resemblance to those of the pelicans', to which they are related, than is obvious in the adults.

"Those who contemplate the beauty of the #earth find reserves of #strength that will #endure as long as #life lasts. There is something #infinitely #healing in the repeated refrains of #nature -- the assurance that #dawn comes after #night, and #spring after #winter.”― Rachel Carson
An old photo of an old friend taken back in #2009 at the same spot as the previous photo. It was an exciting day; this was the first time I've seen sceneries like those other than in photos or on Tv.
Taken with a Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 lens

I love this dog :) It's been ages and ages and ages since I last uploaded, I get those pangs, the internal voice, I should be shooting, I should be uploading, I should be learning...but I am not. I am instead taking time out to just enjoy life without a record of it. And quite a lot of events have occurred:
I got a new job
I got engaged
I had a birthday
I got 'Highly Commended' by a judging panel at work for one of my 366 Selfies. It didn't win, but it will make the front cover with another 2 images :)
In due course I will shoot something representational of these things but until then I will just continue when I feel like it.
So here is Reuben, contemplating the shift out of summer into what has been quite a mild Autumn so far.
