I spotted this Tortoise and his Human Pal taking an ocean-front walk along the cliffs of Palos Verdes California. One thing about California, you will usually find something interesting or unusual, even when you're not looking for it : )
The Tortoise:
Tortoises are "cold-blooded," meaning their body temperature varies with the surrounding environment. They are also herbivores, meaning they eat plants. Tortoises are found in a variety of habitats, including deserts, forests, grasslands, and swamps.
There are over 300 species of tortoises, and they come in a wide range of sizes. The smallest tortoise is the speckled padloper tortoise, which is only about 4 inches long. The largest tortoise is the Galapagos tortoise, which can grow to be over 150 pounds.
Tortoises are long-lived animals. Some species can live for over 100 years. The oldest known tortoise is a Galapagos tortoise named Jonathan, who is over 190 years old.
Here are some interesting facts about tortoises:
Tortoises have been around for over 200 million years.
The largest tortoise ever recorded was a Galapagos tortoise named "Johnathan" who weighed over 500 pounds and was over 190 years old.
Tortoises are very good at conserving water. They can go for long periods of time without drinking.
Tortoises are not very good swimmers.
Tortoises are very social animals and enjoy spending time with other tortoises.
Tortoises can be very affectionate and make great pets.

Ever alert… A Tawny Owl looking for prey. I hear one or two males calling every evening – when it is not raining!
My first ever flight shot of this species. Even with the R5, these are not easy to capture!

been so disappointed in someone, you forgive them and don't say anything, but in your head you detach yourself from them completely?"
Thankyou in advance for your support, faves, comments and awards!
I do appreciate you all ❤️

Have you ever visited Sandbanks Provincial Park, nestled on the west coast of Prince Edward County? To be completely honest, and I don't want to exaggerate, but every person I have ever talked to in my life about provincial parks love this place.
There is our opportunity for an exceptional exploration and full enjoyment of the beauty of this park at this time of a year, especially, when all the summer crowds were gone. This image is taken on the stunning Woodlands Trail that leads across old farm pastures to hardwood lots. A walk over the leaf carpeted trail is breathtaking, and you can enjoy hearing the rustle of the leaves while walking. Awesome!
The fall colors amaze everyone, so enjoy them until you can, because the remanence of Hurricane Patricia will bring all the foliage down today!

Could humans ever learn to live next to each other in full harmony, accepting and respecting each others shapes and limits ? As trees do.
She turned to chapter thirteen of her story,
Her favorite chapter of them all,
A guardian angel so unique,
Hardly ever spoken about,
Your memories are what she guards,
Deciding when it was right to shelve some, shove some in drawers or bring out some in tsunami waves,
She is the culprit who releases butterflies in your stomach,
Sometime she is mischievous,
Sometimes she can be cruel,
But most of the time she is sincere,
Memories can be fragile,
If shaken, it can shatter and break,
Time adds more and more,
But also takes away what it gave,
It's difficult to puzzle the pieces back together,
There are things you need to remember to be able to forget...
Ever changing light!
Mornings like this one justify why I sometimes just setup the tripod and stay rooted to the same spot for sometimes over an hour.
Watching the blue hour tones give way to yellows, oranges and reds until the sun rises and shows the natural greens of the countryside and blue from the clear sky!
The rolling mist just adds some lovely atmosphere and mood to the conditions around!
Bright sunsets are not a thing of the past. Great sunsets are here to stay. Great reds, oranges and yellows. Great contrasts, hues and flowing clouds that seem to swirl across the skies. No two sunsets are ever the same like fingerprints. My wish is that sunsets would last longer, right up to a great sunrise. Enjoy the “Ever Changing Sunsets” as they mark the ending of our joyful days and our troubled days alike. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe and use your mask today.
There is something about a path which really draws the eye. More than your average lines in a composition, I think there is something in us which is determined to follow; to discover what is there to be seen.
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year
"Almighty God, grant that the new birth of your Son in the flesh redeems us from the old slavery under the yoke of sin, so we may receive him with joy as our Redeemer, and that when when he comes to judge we may see Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen."

My old fave wild photography location - Snapper Point. So much variety, well to me anyway, in the coastal landscape there. From sandy beaches, rock shelves, cliffs and sea caves. It is located in a State Recreation area, similar to a National Park. Heaven! And no people - bonus!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas :)
Many thanks for every fave and comment, I appreciate them all!
Ever since I was a small child I loved this little bird and dreamed that some day I would see him. Up until that point I only saw it on the cover of a book. My first glimpse of one was in Connecticut many years later and I stopped the car to take in his beauty !! He is small but packed with gorgeous colors. Last week I was able to capture an image in Central Florida . Needless to say I was thrilled .
Wishing you a beautiful and blessed day !!!!!!!!!!!
And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
The needle returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along like before
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Having seen some fantastic versions of this shot from the Victoria and Albert museum, I decided I wanted to have a go too, just a case of finding the very spot to capture it from, it took a few minutes and a generous word from of this museum's excellent guides to locate and after a little dust off, the cabinet reflected to perfection
The process of becoming other than,
the shedding of the old by way of time
the hands upon the clock traverse their span,
the ever fleeting moment reigns, sublime.
The emptiness of all objective forms,
the rushing river, never stepped in twice,
the reconfiguration of all norms,
the virtues of lost ages seen as vice,
The elements converge and then react,
the caterpillars weave themselves cocoons,
the world amends its stock of gathered facts,
the moths emerge, in flight to greet the moon,
The firmament, destroyed and rearranged,
the universal essence, found in change.
This image of a handsome Mandarin Duck was captured in an urban park somewhere in London. Although this particular duck was free-living, his relative fearlessness probably meant he interacted regularly with humans.
This species of duck is native to Eastern Asia (China, Japan and Russia), where they are now rare, although a large and thriving introduced population can be found in the British Isles and Western Europe, with additional smaller introductions in North America.
The Mandarin Duck is a very rare winter visitor to Hong Kong. Over the last five years of constant searching, I’ve only ever managed to see a single wild pair in Hong Kong.
Thank you for your interest, views, faves, comments and awards ! This image was captured in London, UK 英國倫敦. (Better viewed on a larger screen.)

He was only twelve years old. But turned gravely sick recently, so had to put him to sleep today.
This picture taken 2020 when he was in good health.
Nelsen was the happiest good soul our creator could ever make. He was my blessing. My heart aches.
Our guides, from Guilin Photography Tours, setup an opportunity to go into some peoples homes on our first day.
It's one thing to be walking around an ancient village but something else entirely to be invited into a home and photograph people within their surroundings.
This lady, to me, was absolutely beautiful both in her appearance and in spirit. So was so welcoming when we came in and was so willing to be a subject for our cameras.
This is one of my favourite moments from the trip and one of my favourite shots from the couple of weeks that I was in China.

The first genuinely cloudless day from dusk til dawn that we have had in two months sees another adventure south after 925, this time getting all the way to the cliffs at Waitati.
Second loco 5097's paint has held up well, being one of the early KiwiRail repaints from 2008 with the horizontal red/grey colour separation. Many of the paint jobs from
Thanks again for the ride, Mr Jokertrekker.

If you look at other frames from along the coast here (including one from last night) I don't think I've ever captured so many vehicles on the South Island's main road in one shot. There is a van with a trailer behind the coal containers too.
