The Pyrrhuloxia (pronounced however your mouth decides in the moment) is the desert’s answer to a cardinal—same spiky crest, but with more attitude and less hydration.
I found this one perched on a rare leafy ocotillo, posing like he owned the place. With his candy-corn beak, dusty-red plumage, and permanent side-eye, he’s the bird version of a grumpy old-timer who’s seen things.
He’s tougher than his Northern cousin—built for heat, sand, and yelling at you from a bush for reasons known only to him. His song? Like a cardinal, but sharper, higher, and just a little bit judgmental.
Get the light right, and he glows like a desert ember.
He sings with a sting and glares like a monk—
A feathered grump with desert funk.
If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."

Running up and down the trail around the lake trying to decide where the best sunrise shot might occur. Tripping over my own tripod, just another day of photography in my life.
Located in the heart of Central Oregon just 25 miles west of Bend, Sparks Lake is a large, shallow lake. Situated near the northwest edge of Mount Bachelor, the lake boasts spectacular views of Broken Top and South Sister in addition to Mount Bachelor. Sparks Lake was formed by volcanic activity in the area over 10,000 years ago. Pristine alpine streams flow into this beautiful lake.
I see that Flickr decided to name this Elk Lake on the map. Nope, it's Sparks Lake!

I am still trying to decide if I should put up a tree...we will be going away from the 24th to 30th and it is a lot of work if no one is here to enjoy it... I just chatted on the phone with my dear sister, Hug a Horse..http://www.flickr.com/photos/hug-a-horse/ and I guess I may only decorate my stair rails and mantelpiece, as she suggested.

- was deciding the Goat scratching its cheek.
A small herd of grazing goats manage chalk grassland of the Reserve. These are domesticated goats (Capra hircus) that fit well into rocky landscape of this area. Grazing was performed by sheep in the past, but goats might be more efficient in this job, and they have horns too. It would be interesting to see if it brings more orchids and other wildflowers, or they will be eaten. Avon Wildlife Trust, Bathford near Bath, England, UK

I hope you had a wonderful weekend my friends!
I can not decide whether or not to use the watermark. On the one hand I want to protect my photos, on the other hand, I am not really comfortable with it. I think that many of us suffer with this internal struggle.

Un detalle para mi amigo tonialon
Por estar siempre ahí, por esas largas conversaciones telefónicas, por esos ánimos,
por esa sabiduría y por ser tan buena gente,,,,,,,
,,,,,,No hay forma de encontrar ni una sola certeza absoluta. Ningún argumento irrefutable que nos ayude a dar respuestas a las preguntas de la humanidad, la filosofía por lo tanto ha muerto, porque de lo que no se puede hablar, mucho mejor es callarse.
El hombre, al ser incapaz de adecuar mente y materia, tiende a conferir cierta entidad a las ideas porque no soporta que lo puramente abstracto solo ocurra en nuestro cerebro.
¡¡ Como he oido tantas veces ( La belleza y la armonía de una flor, de un copo de nieve o de una mariposa que agita sus alas y causa un huracán al otro lado del mundo!! ) Llevan hablando décadas de esa mariposa y de esa armonía, pero ¿quién ha sido capaz de predecir un sólo huracán ?, NADIE .
¿Donde está esa belleza y esa armonía en el cáncer por ejemplo,que hace que una célula decida transformarse en una metástasis y destroza el resto de células de un cuerpo sano ? Algien lo sabe ?, NO ,
Preferimos pensar en flores, copos de nieve o en mariposas que en el dolor. Por qué,,,? Porque necesitamos creer que la vida tiene sentido, que todo se rige por la lógica , no por el mero azar.
Si escribimos 2,4,6, nos sentimos bien, porque sabemos que después vendrá el 8, podemos preverlo, no estamos en manos del destino en ese momento.
Por desgracia, y sin embargo, esto no tiene nada que ver con la verdad, no les parece,,,?
Esto es solo miedo.
Triste, pero es lo que hay,,,,,,
El texto es una reflexión
,,,,,,There is no way to find a single absolute certainty. No irrefutable argument that helps us to give answers to the questions of humanity, philosophy is therefore dead, because what cannot be talked about, it is much better to remain silent.
Man, being unable to match mind and matter, tends to confer a certain entity to ideas because he cannot bear that the purely abstract only occurs in our brain.
As I have heard so many times (The beauty and harmony of a flower, a snowflake or a butterfly that flaps its wings and causes a hurricane on the other side of the world!!) They have been talking about that butterfly for decades and about that harmony, but who has been able to predict a single hurricane? NOBODY.
Where is that beauty and that harmony in cancer, for example, that makes a cell decide to become a metastasis and destroys the rest of the cells of a healthy body? Does anyone know?, NO,
We prefer to think of flowers, snowflakes or butterflies than of pain. Why? Because we need to believe that life has meaning, that everything is governed by logic, not by mere chance.
If we write 2,4,6, we feel good, because we know that 8 will come later, we can foresee it, we are not in the hands of fate at that moment.
Unfortunately, however, this has nothing to do with the truth, do you think?
This is just fear.
Sad, but it is what it is,,,,,,
The text is a reflection
Time decides who you meet in your life,
Your heart decides who you want to carry with you in your life
and your behavior decides who stays in your life.
A woman's reproductive rights are hers to decide, and hers alone.

Domicile, Duhamel, Québec, Canada.
Incappable de décider entre Coppé et Plein Cadre !
Je tiens à vous aviser que je serai plus ou moins absent de Flickr durant le mois de septembre. Premièrement, je change finalement de fournisseur internet et je dois me rendre chez ma petite sœur à Île du Prince Édouard quelque temps.
Pour l'instant je suis toujours chez moi en train de finaliser mes travaux extérieur sur le terrain et la maison. Mon présent forfait Internet se terminera le 31 août 2022, je ne pourrais donc plus afficher publier jusqu'à ce que je reçoive et branche le nouveau fournisseur Star Link dans le courant du mois de septembre.
Pour ma photo d'aujourd'hui, je ne savais vraiment pas laquelle afficher, la photo Coppée ou celle Plein Cadre ? Je vous laisse donc le loisir de décider laquelle vous préférez.
Home, Duhamel, Quebec, Canada.
Unable to decide between Copp or Full Frame !
I want to inform you that I will be more or less absent from Flickr during the month of September. First, because I am finally changing my internet provider and I have to go to my little sister's house in Prince Edward Island for a while sometime in September.
For the moment I am still at home finalizing my outside work on the land and the house. My current Internet package will end on August 31, 2022, so I will no longer be able to post until I receive and plug in the new Star Link provider sometime in September, or if I am somewere and have Internet...
For today post, I really didn't know which to post, the Copped picture or the Full Frame one? So I leave it up to you to decide which one you prefer.
March 3rd, 2023 - #303
A re-processed version of a previous post (in the comment). I just couldn't decide which one I might like better!
Which one do you prefer? 😁
Have a peaceful day, everyone...

Just a little abstract bokeh for me today. This is from October. The blue part is a nearby lake and the bokeh are from the surrounding trees :-) It's pretty miserable here today..everything is covered with ice and it is pouring rain. Just needed some green :-) HBW everyone!!!
Surprisingly., my dahlias are deciding to put on a display for me at the moment. This is very welcome as the weather is dull, cold and when it’s not raining, very damp! Not good flowering conditions for most plants but evidently not dahlia!
Different angle!
I couldn't quite decide which one Iiked best so I'll post this one too. I like the clarity of the centipede in this one.
It's about time I posted photos of my big brother ... he is the reason I took up photography now more than 50 years ago. Today would have been his 73rd birthday but he left us at age 46. I won't bother with bemoaning and detailing how profound our loss was ... he wouldn't condone it if he were here.
We photographed together when time and circumstance allowed and I would often turn my camera to him as my subject. Two examples of my informal portraiture of him are in this diptych. Although I had no way of knowing it at the time, all of these extemporaneous portraits would become a treasure to me after his death. I return to them often to provoke good memories that deserve provocation for their goodness and if only to remind me of our times together and to serve as the 'voice in my ear' when I am editing my own work. I often look at my own images when deciding if they are 'keepers' by asking myself "what would my brother have said about them?" It keeps me honest in some mysterious and wondrous way ... thank you big brother and happy birthday. "Anon, or sooner!"
The three Punky Bears in Mummy Marian's house, bored on a rainy day in January, decide to do something.
PUNKINHEAD: (looks at a cupboard in the living room )
Hey Punky and Scottie...shall we see what's in that cupboard (points paw at the cupboard).
SCOTTIE;
Well....I'd like to, but we'll have to ask Mummy Marian if it's allowed.
PUNKY:
We can't, because she's shopping.
PUNKINHEAD:
Obviously...we tried to ask her, but if she's not here then we can't do anything else about it. We have done our best. So we are going to look in the cupboard.
Punky climbs on Scottie's back and Punkinhead then climbs on Punky's back and opens the door.
PUNKY:
Wow!!!! Look at that...what stuff is hidden in there.
All sorts of things are being looked at. Photo albums, books and CDs
Everything is mixed together.
Suddenly....
There are sounds of footsteps and a slamming door in the hallway.
PUNKY:
Quickly guys.... sit down and look ahead. Mummy Marian is back from shopping.
SCOTTIE:
I see her entering the room.....
ME:
What are you guys doing?????
PUNKINHEAD:
Well..uh..Punky wanted to sit in the dark and...uh....
PUNKY:’
I didn't want to sit in the dark at all. You wanted to.
ME:
No arguing. I know, though. You sneaked into the cupboard while I was away....isn't it?
SCOTTIE:
We got bored Mummy Marian
We can't play outside because it's raining.
ME:
Hm..I have an idea. You guys clean up and then we'll have hot chocolate with whipped cream.
PUNKINHEAD, PUNKY and SCOTTIE:
Yeeeehhhh!!!!!!!

I was deciding which shots to post of this Short Eared Owl that has been a popular superstar since his arrival. I thought this was an interesting spot where he decided to perch for awhile. The lighting was tricky since it came from the front. I really wanted a background instead of a high key frontal shot. Although a farther shot, I thought this view was the best for that situation.
Another gate at the end of a fence. Enter or do not enter, this is yours to decide. I think I am going in. Just a bit. Just to say that I was in there. Not to get into trouble. Just to be there for a brief moment.
Happy Fence Friday and remember, it is garbage day somewhere.

So The New CEO Decides It's Time To Rid The Company Of Slackers.
On A Tour Of The Facility, He Notices A Guy Leaning Against A Wall. The Room Was Full Of Workers. Seeing A Chance To Show He Meant Business, He Asks The Guy, "How Much Money Do You Make A Week?"
A Little Surprised, The Young Man Replies "I Make $400, Why?"
The CEO Says, "Wait Right Here." He Walks To His Office And Comes Back 2 Minutes Later. He Hands The Guy $1600. In Cash And Says, "Here's Four Weeks Pay. Now Get Out And Don't Come Back!"
Feeling Like A Boss Now, The CEO Looks Around And Says, "Does Anyone Want To Tell Me What That Goofball's Job Was Around Here?"
A Voice From The Back Of The Room Says, "The Pizza Delivery Guy For Domino's."
Deciding to walk closer to Soda Lake yesterday to get a low photo with the hills in the background was an excellent decision. For a long time now I've wanted to witness American Avocets breeding. I've seen photos and video of what others have captured. I got to witness that yesterday. I was watching these two as they called and flew in pretty close to me. One kept it's head down for a long time (I thought it was just eating) so after checking my image real quickly and seeing that it wasn't eating but just hovering its bill above the water made me stop and think back to other images I'd seen. I quickly got low again and watched. It was over in an instant, but what an elegant behavior to observe. All I could say softly to myself was, "wow, wow, wow."
Trying to decide if I want to update Mysteria's look a little so calling forth magical armor seemed like a good way to test run it. Any feedback from the viewers?

🇫🇷 À Pietracorbara, la commune a décidé de redonner vie à sa tour génoise. En ruine depuis les années 1940, ce monument historique, datant du XVIe siècle, va bientôt devenir une tour de surveillance pour la baignade.
12 mètres de hauteur, 7 mètres de diamètre, il aura fallu près d'un an et demi de travaux pour redonner vie à la tour génoise de Pietracorbara, détruite par les Allemands en 1943.
Une reconstruction qui a nécessité une phase préalable d'étude et de documentation importante des archives de Gênes.La reconstruction s'est faite avec les plans d’origine et tout le descriptif des travaux et de la commande de cette tour à l’époque de sa construction en 1549
🇬🇧 In Pietracorbara, the municipality decided to revive its Genoese tower. In ruins since the 1940s, this historic monument, dating from the 16th century, will soon become a watchtower for swimming.
12 meters high, 7 meters in diameter, it took almost a year and a half of work to restore the Genoese tower of Pietracorbara, destroyed by the Germans in 1943.
A reconstruction that required a preliminary phase of study and important documentation of the archives of Genoa.The reconstruction was done with the original plans and all the description of the works and the commission of this tower at the time of its construction in 1549
🇮🇹 A Pietracorbara, il comune ha deciso di ridare vita alla sua torre genovese. In rovina dagli anni '40, questo monumento storico, risalente al XVI secolo, diventerà presto una torre di sorveglianza per la balneazione.
12 metri di altezza, 7 metri di diametro, ci è voluto quasi un anno e mezzo di lavori per ridare vita alla torre genovese di Pietracorbara, distrutta dai tedeschi nel 1943.
Una ricostruzione che ha richiesto una fase preliminare di studio e documentazione importante degli archivi di Genova.La ricostruzione è avvenuta con i piani originali e tutta la descrizione dei lavori e la commessa di questa torre al momento della sua costruzione nel 1549
I would like to especially thank my friend Ive for deciding to be part of this picture with me. She is an exceptional friend. And an amazing photographer in herself.
Sometimes I find myself digging through my SL closet screaming in distress because I can’t decide what to wear even though there are innumerable clothes right in front of my eyes.
I am not alone... for it is a common phenomenon many experience here in SL not deciding upon what to wear beforehand because of our busy schedules and other RL priorities.
The solution to this problem requires us to spend some time mixing and matching our clothes and accessories to see what goes together. With our busy schedules it is difficult to do at times. Ah, but don’t worry, there is a solution for that!
This incredibly chic Just BECAUSE Fatima Set solves that dilemma. It features well-coordinated, two-piece separates consisting of a sexy cross strapped top with coordinated side-tied draping full length skirt. Just add your accessories, and voila!
The Fatima top and Fatima skirt are sold individually, allowing you more flexibility in choosing the top to fit your bust preferences.

JB's new approach in selling their products is also revolutionary here in SL. New releases are sold exclusively by the body type separately.
Each purchase includes a HUD FatPack, containing all colors, for 500L each. It's a genius of an idea and well overdue! Again, thank you, Annie!
There is also an ALL FatPack version available which contains all of the bodies included below with all colors for 2000L.
