My mother always loved her garden and her flowers and plants. She had a green thumb.
This poppy is growing in our garden ...and I am waiting for the flowers to open in all their beauty.

A run out here this morning hoping for a good sunrise but it never happened still good to be out and not at work :)
A homework assignment for a photo/writing class that I'm currently taking. We had to create an image to compliment (not illustrate) a poem written by someone else. I made this photo to go with the following poem:
Perpetual Spring by Amy Gerstler
Gardens are also good places
to sulk. You pass beds of
spiky voodoo lilies
and trip over the roots
of a sweet gum tree,
in search of medieval
plants whose leaves,
when they drop off
turn into birds
if they fall on land,
and into colored carp if they
plop into water.
Suddenly the archetypal
human desire for peace
wells up in you. The lion
and the lamb cuddling up.
The snake and the snail, kissing,
Even the prick of the thistle,
Queen of weeds, revives
your secret belief
in perpetual spring,
your faith that for every hurt
there's a leaf to cure it.
For Sale at Amerhidl (Skoura oasis) ! (needs some work)
The oasis of Skoura's claim to fame is its long line of kasbahs along two seasonal rivers. Its appearance may be deceptive to many, being so long, it may recall images of a forest more than a huge oasis. Still it is even larger, most of the oasis runs north from the road.
The most impressive among the many attractive kasbahs is the Amerhidl, dating back to the 17th century. Its design and grand size made it fit to illustrate the back of the Moroccan 50 dirham note.
I had to travel to Sudbury for work this week, while there I visited a memorial for the lives lost to overdose/opioid abuse. I was struck by the pictures included on the crosses. Some of these people were so young.

This is an image of an around 50% illuminated phase of our closest planetary neighbour Venus.
I managed to get my planetary scope out back in June to image this beautiful object, shining brilliantly in our evening skies then. This represents the last time I have done any planetary imaging due to circumstances.
The data has been on my drive since and I'm only getting around to have a look at it now.
Venus is one of the so-called inferior planets, as it orbits the sun inside our orbit.
This means that Venus orbits the sun faster than earth and from our perspective is sometimes closer to us and at other times is on the far side of the sun. This change in relative position means we see phases for Venus (and Mercury).
Unfortunately when it approaches earth and is at its largest apparent size its phase also decreases!
This is a false coloured UV/IR filter image to reveal some cloud structure in the thick atmosphere of Venus. Data from the IR filter is mapped to the red channel and that from the UV is mapped to blue. A synthetic green channel is produced from a blend of both. Some lovely cloud structure is apparent.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 SCT and a ZWO 290MM camera. Using Baader IR pass and Venus U filters.

The bears come down to the shore on the edge of Cook's Inlet to find dead fish washed up on the shore to eat. They are followed around by seagulls trying to snatch bits of fish for their own meal. These are fairly large birds when you compare their size to the big bear in the image.
The Kifune-Jinja Shrine 貴船神社 is over 1600 years old and is older than Kyoto itself. It enshrines the god of water and rain, and was visited in the past by Imperial envoys that came to pray for rain. Farmers and sake brewers have traditionally paid homage at this shrine.

I had been mulling this over for a while now, but today I scored a full weekend pass for SDCC, so I'm gonna need some money to spend there, so after a few years Desert Rose is for sale, my asking price may be a little high, I'm looking to get around $300 for her but I'd be way more flexable with any flickr folks and I'd ship her to you for free, she'll also be up on ebay.
These look ever so steep to me, but I did like the mug at the bottom. I wonder if it's for refreshments before going up, or once down!

A prosperous New Year for all.
I made it out today for the first time for a little while which was great. Unfortunately what wasn’t great was I left it a little late in the day to start shooting. I was literally in a race against Mother Nature as the light faded. I had originally planned another shot in my head only to find out when I got there that the sun was in the wrong place for the shot I wanted. Luckily I came across this shot and the light was just perfect. In saying that In Scotland during autumn honestly the light can change very fast and by the time I had taken my third attempt trying to catch the leave and the light just right the sun had nearly disappeared. Unfortunately with the disabilities I have it can often affect my energy levels so I feel I miss the best light to shoot at, but I have to be grateful for the luxury of being able to get out once in a while I guess.
OK, so anyone brave enough to try these gets a medal!!

Sagres, Praia de Tonel, Elmarit 28mm.
Praia do Tonel is popular with surfers as it offers a brisk-westerly wind that often produces large Atlantic breakers. Also nice for sunbathing etc. because of the sheltered spots back towards the cliffs.
Thanks for all your visits, comments and invites on my previous photos and for all the support and friendship in the past "Flickr year", much appreciated!
What I liked about traveling with my friend is that she is Fearless, whether it was driving one lane mountain roads or stopping and exploring a property! This little church caught our eye and it's for sale too! Wouldn't it make a neat house? I thought the windows were broken out but actually they are like a dark leaded glass and most of them were covered to protect them. In later research I did find out that this was the Ellisville Methodist Church and that it has been unused for 20 years, but I couldn't find any info on when it was built.
The alarm today went off at 5am, over two hours before sunrise. The reason for the early alarm was the drive to Canyonlands National Park and the ensuing walk to Mesa Arch would take nearly an hour and I wanted to be able to plant my tripod before everyone else arrived. Driving out of Moab the streets were void of traffic and after turning onto the road leading to Canyonlands there weren’t any headlights in the rearview mirror or were there taillights visible ahead. I was confident that I had departed at an appropriately early enough time.
After entering the National Park I noticed a few taillights ahead of me in the distance. “OK, I guess there may be a few early risers there,” I thought. How wrong I was, for as I crested the rise in the dark with my headlamp guiding my way along the path to Mesa Arch I could hear many voices coming from ahead. I wasn’t alone and it wasn’t just a couple of early risers either. There were already 15 to 20 tripods with accompanying cameras and photographers set up waiting for sunrise! Fortunately, the location I had scouted out the day prior was still available, so I joined the masses and added my tripod and camera to the mix. Note to self: rethink the starting time for my next visit!
The beauty of the sunrise here is something one truly needs to witness in person. As the sun broke the horizon the first sunburst occurred, but the best was yet to come. Initially there is the lack of reflected light on the underside of Mesa Arch. But as the sun continued to rise and began to cross the underside of the arch a 2nd sunburst occurred while the reflected light illuminated the underbelly of the arch turning the sandstone a glowing red. While some photographers had already started packing up, the patience of ‘waiting for the light’ was rewarded with this image.
Highlighted by the rising sun is the Washer Woman (derived from its resemblance of a tall and slender woman reaching her hands into a tub) and to its right is the taller Monster Tower. Washer Woman and Monster Tower are each over 600 feet tall. Behind the Washer Woman is the Sandcastle.
This is the second image I’ve posted from that wonderful morning, but this one was taken moments earlier than the previous one. The sunburst is larger in this image as the sun has yet to rise high enough to be partially hidden by the arch.
From the earlier image, Kathleen had commented . . . “I can see an Indian lying in repose, hand in his lap and his legs crossed........lying in the opening, do you see him?” Yes, I could! Can you?

For this week's Macro Mondays challenge "Leading Lines" I looked to nature for my inspiration. I looked in our garden and found three interesting items. One was of a green tomato with the steam as the leading line to the green tomato; another being a very tiny seed that looks like a starburst with all the leading lines running to the center of the seed; and the last one a drop of water on the end of a moss flower pod that has not yet opened with the steam being the leading line to the water drop.
All three were images were shot with the flash set at ¼ on manual setting.

Little villages in Norway are often facing the problem that more and more young people want to move to bigger cities.
That endangers the long term existence of the villages which is why a lot of them come up with creative ideas to make the life there more appealing for younger people.
One of the many efforts is this super cool football pitch on a tiny island, next to a village of ~500 inhabitants...
The African Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer) has two distinct calls. In flight or perched, the sound is something like the American Bald Eagle. When near the nest its call is more of a 'quock' sound - the female is a little shriller and less mellow than the male. So well known and clear is the call of this bird that it is often known as 'the voice of Africa'. The African Fish Eagle is usually seen in pairs inside and outside the breeding season, even sharing kills made by either of them. They spend more time perched than flying, and usually settle for the day by 10am, having made their kill, although they will kill at any time of the day.
Although, as its name suggests, it feeds extensively on fish, in some areas it preys on flamingoes and other water birds. It is also known to eat carrion and is classified as a kleptoparasite (it steals prey from other birds). Goliath Herons are known to lose a percentage of their catch to Fish Eagles. Their main diet is fish, sometimes dead, but mostly caught live. Catfish and lungfish are caught most frequently. Larger prey are eaten on the ground next to the water.
Having swooped in to pick up the bait, this African Fish Eagle went and perched on a dead tree on the banks of Lake. Baringo, Kenya to enjoy it's breakfast.
