Perched for picking the last of the wild grapes is an Immature Female Baltimore Oriole. I wasn't quite sure what I had captured upon first sighting her, but after viewing it on screen I also realized that I had captured a fisherman's sinker caught up in the vine.

I know they aren't to everyone's taste, but I'm always so pleased when I find these little jumping spiders. I think they have the cutest faces and crazy hair :) This one was enjoying glorious sunshine at the weekend and unusually stayed still for a while.
The birds perched on the ledges of downtown buildings in Orange, Virginia have decided that three Southern SD40-2’s roaring through town with a northbound train constitute a threat, and have taken flight. One holdout remains on the roof of the onetime Sanitary Grocery Company.
For My Pain was pretty awesome Finnish heavy metal band, those who are familiar with Nightwish... should enjoy Tuomas' another project.
On this way good luck and all the best dear friends in Ukraine from dl1ydn 73

Non in vendita
in un mondo dove tutto è in vendita, questa bellezza non lo è. Bastano le tue gambe ed il tuo cuore.
Auguri di buone feste a tutti voi.

Day 1 of 20 of albums that influenced my musical tastes. I'll start with Standing on a Beach. I remember listening this CD everyday in my high school years, in my house or in my friend's room, feeding our minds with these dark sounds and some bright musical notes, creating our perfect soundtrack for the teenager.
The album was titled Staring at the Sea in CD format in some countries is the first greatest hits album by the English band the Cure, released in the United States on 15 May 1986 by Elektra Records and in the United Kingdom on 19 May 1986 by Fiction Records, marking a decade since the band's founding in 1976. (Wikipedia)
It's been 40 years of The Cure, 40 years of this deep powerful music. This special song takes me back to my high school years when I discovered real friendship and music.
"...It's not a case of telling the truth
Some lines just fit the situation
Call me a liar
You would anyway
It's not a case of aiming to please
You know you're always crying
It's just your part
In the play for today"

In what was then almost a rural backwater, the Signalman in charge of Rauceby Box opens the crossing gates over Willoughby Road after the passage of a train.
Strangely enough it's a scene that still plays out today, only the Signaller will now be festooned in high-vis work-wear and, given the increased road traffic generated by local housing developments, will likely be taking a more hurried approach to keep car-drivers happy.
Despite these developments Rauceby station has, if anything, become even more of a rural backwater, at least regards train services. Lying just over 2 miles west of Sleaford station on the Nottingham / Grantham to Skegness line, the majority of trains pass through without stopping and there are only 3 or 4 services that call here daily in each direction - passenger numbers have fallen from 10,948 in 2016/17 to 2,586 in 2020/21, no doubt partly pandemic driven, but also a consequence of a service that's about as minimal as it could be. Of course anyone really committed to travelling by train during the fallow times can always make their way to Sleaford.
Any modellers keen on replicating the early 1970s might just be tempted to wheel out a pair of green-liveried class 20s (or class 25s) and the infamous Derby 'Red-set' that typically graced the summer-timetabled 'Jolly Fisherman' train from Derby to Skegness. And a layout combining Sleaford station too would need little excuse to include diverted East Coast Mainline services with Deltics on the front. Possibilities, perhaps?!

Blood for freedom
You're pushing me into the corner
Don't fight with me
Don't fight with me
Don't fight with me
I'm crowning no man for his armour or Rhapsody
For what I see and what I feel
Wake up
I'm defying you, seeing right through you once I believed in you
Wake up
Feel what's coming deep within we all know
Blood for freedom
So raise your banner, fight your war
Break the silence, no remorse
Won't die within
Raise your banner, won't you come
Fight the venom, the good die young
Won't die within
I'm feeling the eyes of the fallen, they're watching me
They make me see, they make me see
I'm feeling the pain how you break them and make them bleed
You make them bleed, you make them bleed
Wake up
I'm defying you, seeing right through you once I believed in you
Wake up
Feel what's coming deep within we all know
The way that you torment me
The way that you challenge me
The way that you make me bleed
Blood for freedom.
Yesterday! Gray rainy day. Here Sun set at four thirty!
But wind moved clouds and a few Sun rays did appear.
I grabbed camera and try, but shot only nine, freezing!
You can smell snow in air. It was quiet quiet, no birds, no water move.
We all were waiting for snow.
It didn't happened!

My dear friend Joan takes incredible bird photos. I struggle with finding birds, especially this time of year, and if I do this is not my forte. I was lucky enough to come across this beautiful young eagle. I added texture to make it a bit more dramatic (not that he is not dramatic enough), I just felt it needed something.
I hope you enjoy this Joan, and please feel free to give me advice!!!!
Thanks for viewing all!
Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.

Waterscape 4 of 100 for 2025.
This massive rock sits proudly in the middle of Deadman's Beach. I've often wondered how it ended up there—what geological forces shaped its journey?
Today, as I looked at the photo, it struck me: the rock resembles a giant bao bun buried in the sand. Naturally, this led me down a rabbit hole exploring the history of bao buns. Originating in Northern China, bao dates back to the Three Kingdoms period in the 3rd century, with some evidence pointing as far back as 400 BC.
And then it all made sense: giant, rock-eating aliens with a penchant for Chinese cuisine must have dropped this here during one of their visits in ancient times. Mystery solved. You're welcome!
Thank you all for the kind likes and comments—they’re always deeply appreciated!
P.S. Speaking of buns, if you’ve got 3 minutes, I recommend this touching animation about motherhood and buns:
A White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) buck is constantly aware of all things in our surrounding habitat as a matter of survival and in matters of reproduction. At this time of the year it is close to the breeding season for these animals and they are tentatively looking for a mate on the National Bison Range near St. Ignatius, Montana, U.S.A.

Taken at Point Leo on the Mornington Peninsula while spending some quality time with friends. They indulged me in not rushing me too much once I spotted this scene and starting shooting it. Thanks for that guys!
There is a tradition of adding padlocks to railings on bridges in parts of the world that this scene made me feel instantly.
