closer than expected for such a shy species and it was in this spot just long enough for one shot.

Not what you'd expect to see walking along Cullen Beach, but there he was chirruping away. He kept waddling around and falling in those huge (for him) footprints, then struggled to get out again, all the while calling for mummy. Ordinarily I leave nature to sort itself out, but it was heartbreaking to watch and we couldn't just leave him there all on his own with an incoming tide so intervened and did eventually successfully reunite him with his family.
Thank you for taking the time to visit, comment, fave or invite. I really appreciate them all.

I thought it was so funny to see this place in Santorini with the table on the outside of the building so high up....a cool optical illusion! Last Caturday was dinner for one and this Caturday is dinner for two!

You might not expect to come upon a castle while visiting Spokane, but that is exactly what you will do if you visit the Spokane County courthouse. Most of us associate such architecture with romantic old castles in Europe, or perhaps something out of the world of Walt Disney or fairy tales. To find such a building in the center of a modern, growing regional hub city such as Spokane is a bit startling.
The courthouse is said to closely resemble two famous 16th century chateaux in the Loire Valley of France, the Chateau de Chambord, built in 1519 and the Chateau d'Azay Le Rideau built in 1516. Many architects through the years have commented on the masterly replica of a 16th century French Renaissance design, its fine lines of style and proportion with regard to the towers and turrets, the sculpture, iron and brickwork which excel in pattern and craftsmanship. Detailed exterior trim such as shell patterns with wreaths and festoons and decorative arches are a few of the outstanding features of its design. The beautiful center tower, now lighted at night, is a masterpiece of detail in itself.
Passing into Spring,

The tulips are rising and so are my spirits. Wishing everyone a great day ahead!
Expect to see more of this face on my feed again. This is the return of "me."
I have been told that when people think of me this is the face they see.
So I will of course continue to show other faces in my photos, I will try to show this face more often than the others.

The Krall Barn is believed to be the oldest existing log barn in Lebanon County. The effort to save it first kicked off in 2007, when the structure, then located east of Schaefferstown, was saved from destruction by a cooperating owner, Howard Scharff, who worked with Schaefferstown’s Bill Ross by offering to donate the barn if it was dismantled. The way it stands now, most of the exterior of the Krall Barn is nearly complete. But there are many smaller, inside projects yet to be tackled. The education center is expected to make it easier for visitors to enjoy their time at the 110 acre historic site that features three locks of the Union Canal, an engineering feat visited by none less than President George Washington himself during its construction.

'Always Expect the Unexpected' as the 'Colloquial Saying' goes.
This is the second of two recent stunningly beautiful rainbows.
Despite our squally showers this afternoon and this evening - this was the scene at 9.15pm tonight from the rear of my home looking East just before sunset at 21.45pm.
At the time, there was another heavy rain shower as the sun sat low above the horizon in the West to the front of my home.
Quite remarkable!
Wishing you all a Safe and Happy Weekend!
i wish all my flickr-friends and their loved people the best of all and a happy new year.
thank you all for comments, faves, invitations and visiting my stream.
I expect there may be many images of snail shells for this theme, so decided to give my snails a rest this week and photograph my cycad house plant that has just put up a few new leaves - all the tiny 'leaflets' have coiled ends when they first appear that will straighten as the leaf grows. On this particular leaf, one of the little leaflets has grown a bit ahead of the others and shown off the lovely details of its coiled end.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Spiral'.
The image was done as a 5-shot focus stack at f3.5, focusing on the tight coil which was 1cm across.
The rains continue to fall. It rained on St Swithin's Day and so we expect another 40 days of it. As each drop of rain falls, I feel my fear and worries rise. I am once again picking our son up from the floor following a seizure induced fall. His new specialist epilepsy neurologist is seeing us soon and I am documenting his current condition in his ‘seizure diary’. It does not make good reading.
I fear how I will convey this crucial information. I can talk about epilepsy and autism as well as his other conditions fluently and with confidence. But this meeting will be about our son. When I talk about the pain and torment our son lives through each day, I am always overcome with emotion.
The diary will help, and it will contain thoughts and questions that I will refer to if I need prompts. I am not expecting anything in particular, we have been trying different things over many years now. But his condition is getting worse. In front of our very eyes, we see the changes.
My fears are as plentiful as the endless raindrops falling outside. I just hope this new neurologist listens to my story and commits to continuing to support us through whatever the future holds …
Some sun beams find the way through the overcast sky at Koh Samui, Thailand! Maybe a tropical storm will be coming soon. The Thai fishermen have moored their boats at the shallow low tide shore.

This picture is the peak point of a lesson I once gave to a gorgeous, very talented gal 😋 teaching her to shoot dogs in a natural way.
The goal was to sharpen her eye for the „right moment“; so I was „shooting“, but she had to tell me the precise moment for pushing the trigger 😎
She learned a lot and proudly presented „her commanded work“ in a contest later ... using her name, not mine 😋
Don't ask me about women ... and please no words about „vanity“.

Dieses Bild ist der „peak point“ einer Lektion, die ich mal einem großartigen, sehr talentierten Mädel gab, als ich ihr beibrachte, Hunde auf möglichst natürliche Weise zu photographieren; ich lege hohen Wert auf die kultivierte Schreibweise mit „ph“ 😎
Mit „f“ betätigkeitworte 😂 — das Schöne an der Deutschen Sprache ist ihre Unkaputtmachbarkeit — ich gedankenverlorenes „Knipsen“.
Ziel unserer gemeinsamen Übung war es, ihr Auge für den „richtigen Moment" zu schärfen; ich „schoss“ also das Bild, aber sie musste, neben mir hockend, den richtigen Moment für das Drücken des Auslösers ansagen 😋
Auf diese Weise lernte sie eine Menge über „photographische Psychologie“ im weiteren Sinne.
Sie präsentierte später stolz „ihr befohlenes Werk" in einem Wettbewerb ... unter ihrem Namen, nicht dem meinen 😋
Man befrage mich nicht über Frauen ... und — bitte! — kein Wort über „Eitelkeiten“.
😎😂

I expect this would be called a weed. But the plant produced lots of wind-ready fruit, and it looked elegant, for a weed.
Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?

Here comes the rain to melt the snow. Spring is almost here! :) I liked the way the drops rested on the orange cord. I love me some drop hunting. Hehe ;)
Didn't expect to see a western grebe chick this early. Normally we start to see them in May.

Hemis (Inde) - Lorsque j'ai proposé aux jeunes moines de les photographier en groupe, j'étais loin de m'attendre à les voir prendre cette attitude qui tranche singulièrement avec leur fonction religieuse. #bouddha !
Hemis (India) - When I suggested that the young monks take pictures of them in groups, I was far from expecting to see them take this attitude which contrasts singularly with their religious function. #buddha!
Gestern habe ich einen Ausflug auf den Ohlsdorfer Friedhof in Hamburg gemacht. Engelskulpturen habe ich erwartet, aber dieses süße flauschige Wesen(Uhu)tauchte völlig überraschend auf.
Yesterday I went on a trip to the Ohlsdorf cemetery in Hamburg. I expected angel sculptures, but this cute fluffy creature (eagle owl) appeared completely surprisingly

When she was just a girl she expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep
Dreamed of paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
When she was just a girl she expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly
Dream of paradise
[Listen]
"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails. " - William Arthur Ward
Two days before I took this image, the harbor was full of big chunks of ice floating and packed into the space between the shores. Waves were crashing and the wind was blowing all the ice onto the shore. Then on this day the ice was blown completely out of the harbor and the water was relatively calm. The winds of change can completely create a new mood for the day. Expect the change and then adjust your sails! Have a great weekend.
