The Captain of the boat, lost in thought???

Bardolino, Lago di Garda, tramonto, ieri pomeriggio.

Autoritratto di spalle al cospetto di due cieli riflessi l'uno nell'altro... che toglievano il fiato con la loro bellezza.

I've never seen an egret sit like this before. I wonder whether it was all right.

Dragonfly perhaps contemplating migration or death. A few species winter Colorado as nymphs from summer eggs deposited in ponds and lake shores. Most species migrate to warmer climates.

HBM! A small park near the waterfront Recreational Trail, seen on my walk with a friend yesterday.

 

Best seen large by clicking on the photo. Thanks for visiting, enjoy each day.

The amount of street art of various types in Cairns is mind boggling but you would have to live there for a considerable time to search it out and see all of it. Much stretches out into the suburbs and adjacent townships.

 

This one is called "If we lose the reef, we lose ourselves" by Claire Foxton on Grafton Street in the city. It is a portrait of indigenous elder, community leader and activist, Henrietta Marrie.

 

Perhaps I should have cropped out the extension of the building on the left, but ah well, it kind of aids,perspective!

Tofu under one of the Acers in the garden ! Yes, I know, I take photos of him there quite often but think he looks good there and his blue eyes and the acer leaves are an appealing combination. The Acers are shedding their leaves now anyway and over the next months the most appealing combination will probably be Tofu and his blankets again ...

With the simple act of holding our own hands, we become complete with self understanding.

I spent the morning looking after Roxy and had lunch with Abby and Rachel. I came home earlier than usual to give Roxy's Nana a chance to play with her before Elsie comes out of school. One gran at a time is enough for any baby! I took the opportunity to go to Grovelands. I haven't been for ages. The sun shone weakly, intermittently and I enjoyed walking in the woods particularly.

 

I watched this man walk towards me, pass me and then took this photo as he walked away. I don't imagine he noticed me.

Another long break due to work commitments and the unpredictability of the British weather (its not every year that you have snow in April in the South of England after all...). Weather seemed very nice and the tides were ideal for Kimmeridge Bay in Dorset (www.visit-dorset.com/things-to-do/attractions/kimmeridge-...) so I decided to drive the 2+ hours it takes to get there. This is a very popular location and another 9 photographers were "competing" for the best rock to stand on. I have a thing for green stuff growing on rocks and the rock in the middle of the frame automatically attracted my eye. Beautiful golden light, nice blue water but not enough cloud for my liking. I was expecting a nicer sunset but had to compromise. After so many years with my D300s I am still getting used to D810 but I have to say I am very impressed with the sharpness of the images.

 

Thanks for taking the time to look at my image

Dad, I'm feeling blue today. My life is already half over.

 

"But Clancy, blue is such a lovely colour."

 

Everything has to be so jokey with you.

 

"Look, if it's any consolation, my life expectancy is two-thirds over."

 

But you'll probably still be around another 30 years while I'll be lucky to last another seven.

 

"Hey, seven is a lucky number!"

 

One of these days snap, right on the ankle.

 

"Okay, I get it. I suggest you try to stop worrying about what you can't change, and concentrate on enjoying the time you have left. It's all there is, and you shouldn't waste it."

 

I wasn't worried about me, I was worried about you! Who would make you feel like a whole day at work is worth it just to get the greeting I give you when you get home? Who would walk you and wrestle for a ball with you? Who would scare off the coyotes when you use the telescope? Sit beside you when you watch football? Have a bonfire?

But you know, what you said makes sense. I'm going to try and stop worrying so much about you and live the time we have left to the fullest!

Thanks, Dad, I feel better.

 

"You're welcome. Now move over, I'm suddenly feeling blue myself."

Sometimes life just keeps throwing lemons your way and one must sit and think about what to do with those lemons, does one pick them up and make lemonaide or does one throw the fcking lemons back 10 times harder ?
