HFF everyone!
I have found this abandoned kitten in a bramble bush.
Its stare emphasized fear. It do not know that have found a family.
Welcome Simba!

And the further I get
From the things that I care about
The less I care about
How much further away I get

I had great fun last night trying to capture a wild stormy sea and failed miserably as I took a very large wave which completely drenched me and all my equipment. that was only at half tide and a massive sea was running. I couldn't get my lenses clean again after but still had a wonderful time watching the waves pounding the cliffs. Fear of Drowning is by British Sea Power and is always a reality on those days. This photo from earlier in the year is on the theme of waves, even if they are sand waves. The sand today will be totally different after last night's fury.
Like a feeling that I'm down
Deep inside my heart
Like I'm looking out through splitting blood red
Windows in my heart
From a higher up than heaven
And a harder down than stone
Shake the fear that always clawing
Pulls me clawing down alone
As I spitting, splitting, blood red
Breaking windows in my heart
And the past is taunting fear of ghosts
Is forcing me apart
And the further I get
From the things that I care about
The less I care about
How much further away I get
And the further I get
From the things that I care about
The less I care about
How much further away I get
I am lost again
With everything gone
And more alone
Than I have ever been
I expect you to understand, to feel it too
But I know that even if you will
You cannot ever help me
Nor can I ever help you
Nor can I ever help you
Never ever help you

#3 in my series of emotive self portraits.
If you'd like to know more about them, I have put my first SP in the series with a description in my first comment.
I am afraid, oh I am so afraid!
The cold black fear is clutching me to-night
As long ago when they would take the light
And leave the little child who would have prayed,
Frozen and sleepless at the thought of death.
My heart that beats too fast will rest too soon;
I shall not know if it be night or noon, --
Yet shall I struggle in the dark for breath?
Will no one fight the Terror for my sake,
The heavy darkness that no dawn will break?
How can they leave me in that dark alone,
Who loved the joy of light and warmth so much,
And thrilled so with the sense of sound and touch, --
How can they shut me underneath a stone?
I was struck by how colourful this particular female Orb Weaver Bridge Spider was; taken back last Summer from under an overpass near a street lamp, which gave ample light. It's easy I suppose to be beguiled by such a beautiful specimen, especially as one is not a fly or passing bug. It's tatty web gave away that this one had been quite busy and successful in her location in concerns to attracting prey.
But still it's fascinating how such a tiny thing can instil such fear into people. I guess it's Mother Nature's way of reminding thus to treat her creations with respect, which I think we fail to do quite regularly.
Anyway, I hope everyone's week is off to a good start and so as always, thank you! :)
Okay, truth be known, the title is misleading; there were lots of fears as I walked gingerly onto this very windy and icy pier! But who said getting wintery shots was easy?

THE SWEETEST TABOO - SADE
FEAR/TEMOR
Standing by and letting me float free
you stand so close; I can taste your breath
my heart is racing, but my soul is slow
I am running to nowhere until I hit the wall
You play to me late into the night
you listen to me singing all day long
we hold each other so distantly
both scared to run to where we can't hide
let me closer into your arms
wrap me with love and tender kisses
walk out with me; tell me all you know
and dance me to the golden hour
I don't think it at all possible
to fall in love and remain as friends
so I let you walk alone on your reconfigured journey
it's the only way this will always end
I can write and re-write every tiny detail
but it will always play out just like this
we had a good run for all this time
but it could never be ended so simply with a lover's kiss
So you walk off like a cowboy into the sunset
and I'll drive alone along parallel lines
you take the right road, it's the right road for you
and I'll take what's left of the setting sun
The power lines above us are filled with energy
I can feel the tingling in my head
but they can't raise the flatness all around us
or erase the memories of the things we said
Fear is something that I learned from the age of seven,
do you remember that day, the day I drowned
I knew then what I'll always know
when something's lost, it can never be re-found
What you've got to do is create
your own sweet reality within your pure but burgeoning mind
nothing and no-one can take this from you
so you learn to be cruel just to be kind
You'll be ok; I know you'll make it
you're not so lost you can't be found
but what love has taught me; I know that life has brought me
the imagination and strength to stand my ground

Up close with an Australian icon. The Redback Spider (Latrodectus hasselti), feared by early settlers, was historically responsible for 12 deaths . An antivenom has been available since 1956, and there have been no deaths directly due to redback bites since its introduction. The female spider, as seen in this shot, is much larger then its male counterpart and has the distinctive red stripe on its abdomen. The female 'digests' the male during a successful mating process, which seems to be unique to Latrodectus hasselti. Females reach around 1 cm in size while males are 3-4 mm when mature. Shot was taken with a 100mm macro lens. NSW, Australia

Ricochets within my head
Conversations never said
Magnifyin' every thought
That familiar pain she brought
Seeps inside eventually
Misery loves company
Sullen, I created you
I suppose that I could end you too
Misery, she needs me
Oh-oh, but I need her more
Misery, she loves me
Oh-oh, but I love her more
Misery, she kills me
Oh-oh, but I end this war
Misery, she fills me
Oh no, but she's not what I'm livin' for
"In front of you are the lights of a state
Awaiting excavations
And the cages with the sleeping canaries lined up
And I who still haven't found out who I am
A tired purpose, without perspective
And you who will soon be extinguished
One of the lights, to sleep with someone who looks like me
So that the irons of the cage
To be lost for a moment, in the dark.
I fear all that will happen to me without me...
My clothes are getting old and they don't last
holes in the knees from the bows
pockets empty of coins
broken zippers, they are bankrupt
My body is bruised
with the cold as a mistake
which no one admits
it turns and asks for your warmth.
I fear all that will happen to me without me...
Your cements are new
with lacquered furniture
And white marbles
a warping sheen
and leaves you no room to stand
and only I of all in there am rotting like in an ancient tomb
Performance vessels were found there
except for me, which is a hidden secret
I'm still looking for you to resurrect me.
I fear all that will happen to me without me...
My clothes are getting old and falling out
Like bankrupt governments
I grew old in a child's pants
And the ship still hasn't been seen
I squeeze you tighter because I'm cold
my body road, where public works are carried out
Compressors open and close me
Pull the curtain a little to see me
I became a runway for military planes
And my mind, a repository for radioactive waste
They took safety measures, for my breathing
and on a multi-ethnic one-way street, my future was given in return.
I fear all that will happen to me without me...
This is how I live my past in advance
and with two bare wires for hands
I hug your high volt for a tight time.
I'm afraid..."
An earlier attempt to visualize a favorite song.
I had to overcome my fear of being in a very dark wooded area to capture this shot, I was quite spooked but had to get a shot of this tree that I was happy with.
The shot was taken after midnight and this was probably the fifth picture on my stream from that night.

So you thought I was done with the Spiders? Ha! No chance. Temporarily I was without them as the usual locations are missing said Spiders due mostly to the change in the weather; but completely by accident I found another location against a different backdrop, these are much harder to photograph as there is no back light, just the night time black of the canal behind the metal railings where these little ones are living, so focus is a challenge even with the assistance of the Focus Illuminator.
Still, I have taken hundreds of new photos and many I will continue to post up here, this Orb Weaver was navigating between two rusted metal bars, against the street lights behind it, gave a really Urban Midnight feel, hope you enjoy!
Here's to another weekend, I hope everyone has a great one and so as always, thank you! :)
PS: Zoom in :)
