Jaspyr climbed up onto the roof of one of the old byres…Here, he is trying to work out how to get back down. Safely.
Years ago, when he was just a kitten, this big eejit found himself on the very apex of one of the byre roofs. He proceeded to slide straight down, with his front feet splayed, like snowploughing skis, in a foiled attempt to halt his downward plummet. He (and I) got a real fright. Fortunately, he was perfectly fine, if a little shaken and hiding under my bed. Very rare to see him on any of the roofs…

A pair of Mallard Ducks wander in a nearby forest under the forever watchful eye of Orion.
Orion was solid to 'point' for about 10 minutes without moving a muscle as I maneuvered around to get the shot. Not unusual, as that's just the way he is...
So, I was watching this video on You Tube and the guy said he didn't put his images in Lightroom by there date because he can't remember which photos he took when. So he puts them in categories, like architecture or people. Made sense to me. I was taught to do dates but categories works so much better. I spent a couple of days redoing my Lightroom. The only time it'll be a problem is when I add photos.

And he told me that I was free, that I could go flying with the others, but I looked into his eyes and decided to stay with him
....
Y me dijo que yo era libre, que podía ir a volar con los demás, pero lo miré a los ojos y decidí quedarme a su lado

.... about decisions are a constant companion.
They are like a bridge that leads us from one possibility to another.
But in the end, we must rely on our heart and our mind.

Autumn Mists - Times Of Uncertainty by Daniel Arrhakis (2021)
With the music : Wordclock - It May Come by Cryo Chamber
__________________________________________________
Meanwhile in Asghardia at the top of a staircase in a richly ornamented stonework a figure with a long embroidered mantle looked at the landscape with autumnal tones that vanished through a dispersed fog.
His thoughts roamed the horizon through the mists of uncertainty that surround his beloved Kingdom Of Krudhyn.
Old rumors and old superstitions increased in a thick cloak of uncertainty and conspiracies among the Old Orders, there had always been rivalries but never as much as now.
The choice of the Guardian Master Of The Black Order for Cardinal of the Kingdom was not a consensual decision within Aghort, the general council of the orders, but the influence that the Cardinal exercised as the former Khanton (*) of the kingdom had weight with King Ehomyhr, although defended the independence of the state in relation to those of the old orders.
It was this recent condescension that intrigued her even more - Her husband had always defended the separation of powers! -She thought aloud while watching the autumn tones that painted the landscape around the Old Winter Palace.
Not far away, on a parapet with a privileged view, there was a curious black crow that seemed to observe all the movements that the Queen Elyandhyn made.
She had already seen him, but pretended that she hadn't noticed, since she was a child, she had no sympathy for those animals with piercing eyes and black feathers with metallic blue reflections. But what was strange is that lately it was not the first time that she had seen crows in the old palace although they were rare - I have new secret admirers, she thought as she smiled.
(*) Khanton is the equivalent of King's Counselor in other monarchies.

A seagull trying to decide to sit on the bench or not, lol! HBM & the start of a new week my friends =) Bet viewed large.
Sadly having internet issues, that's why I haven't been around lately!
Leo suffers real anguish just playing a game...I like to think he takes after me......a little :)
Sticking to b&w for a little continuity but oh the decision was difficult. Hopefully it is the most difficult decision I shall have to make this day - unlike so many others who remain in my heart and my mind for all sorts of different reasons x
Our friendly garden robin came and took his food then spied a tastier morsel!
Thanks for viewing, favs and comments, much appreciated ❤️
This is one of the most confounding road signs. It seems to say, yes, you have come to a stop in your journey; no, you cannot make forward progress; you can choose to go right; but a diametrically opposed choice is also viable; whichever direction you go, you could run headlong into a fast moving obstacle … In the meantime, enjoy the clouds
White-faced Heron (Egretta novaehollandiae)
From Sneydes Rd. on this day four years ago. It landed on this branch and seemed to be pondering where it should go next. It left shortly after this shot was taken.
There are not too many compositions normally available at Trebarwith, so when a surfer stopped to weigh up the conditions it gave a nice photo opportunity for me and my photo buddies.
Which to feed? The bushtit hoard descended late yesterday afternoon, and had plenty of youngsters in it (were they there to show off their newest members?). Here, I was lucky to get mom with two hungry "teens" vying for her attention. Which did she feed? Neither - shortly after this she flew away and left them wondering "where did she go?" Too funny!
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!
