There is, simply put, nowhere else in the world like New England in the fall. On a crisp and gorgeous October morning, Massachusetts Central PA-2 passed Forest Lake in Palmer framed by the incredible foliage.
Always pray to have eyes that see the best in people, a heart that forgives the worst, a mind that forgets the bad, and a soul that never loses faith in God.
تــــعــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــال
تعال وانظر في خفوقي وسارع
الصبر طال وخايف يتلفه ياس
عجزت وانا مع خفوقي اصارع
حبك ولذة شوفتك واجمل احساس
شديت احساسي بأسلوب بارع
وخليتني في الناس ماني من الناس
ودقات قلبي من غلاك تقارع
قرع الطبول إلى احتمى الدم في الراس
ياعين حر في سما المجد فارع
يأغلى من الدانات وأغلى من الماس
معك الهوى دون لفه وشارع
من دون بوابه ومن دون حرّاس
أرضٍ وسيعه وامتلت بالمدارع
زرعت فيها صادق الحب بإحساس
وحصدت عكس اللي انا كنت زارع
غرسة هجر حصدتها دون غرّاس ..

As the prairie dogs hid inside their burrow because of the cold I made do with the other guests to the treats placed in their enclosure. I just hope the birders will forgive me my amateurish, not to say poor, try. :o)
The kestrel looks so apologetic for having taken out this finch......"but what could I do , I have to eat as well".
another one i liked from today's 365 concepts.
OH. and I am going on spring break in Mexico and WILL NOT BE BACK until SUNDAY, APRIL SOMETHING.
okay.
happy days to you all!
Please forgive me as I post yet another picture of my favorite winter bird, the cedar waxwing. As the cold moves in, I look forward each winter to their arrival.
Last week I took a day off and while outside filling up my bird feeders, I was thrilled to hear a flock of these in a neighboring tree. I watched as they (without warning) all seemed to dive into the holly bushes in my front yard to raid the red berries. Later on in the day, they visited my backyard for berries and I was ready for them, camera in hand. In a few weeks, they will begin their northern migration and I will be sad to see them go.
Forgive me but I cannot remember whose texture I used on this.
Thanks everyone for your visit!
Forgive me if I`m not commenting on your photos, my contact photos are not showing up! This is actually another shot of Rockin` Robin before he started rocking. The weather is dire at the moment so I`m glad I took a lot of pics last week.
I'm a big fan of this type of image (like Michelangelo's Pietà or similar ones representing Mary holding Jesus) and always wanted to do one with my dolls. My actually planned photo one day will be an overly kitschy and dramatic one with Lucien/Cheryl holding Ramin, since Ramin is seen as some as the Messiah they so long waited for, but that one obviously has to wait till adult!Ramin is finally here in all his glory.
Meanwhile I picked up those two for it because Nero in his noodle-ness can mimic perfectly this "dying in someone's arms" pose and it was easy to do.
Background is just some photo on my main screen and editing was quick. I mainly wanted to test if my lens is still fine after it rolled down a table and towards the ground, and while it seems everything is still alright I still think I should probably send in lens and body for some check-up soon.

----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven.
Thomas Fuller
Forgive me.... for attempting to tell this images' story. Looking across a bridge has always felt so meaningful to me, as though I was trying to evaluate the ties we have with both the future and past.
After an hour or so of snooping around Hastings, MN (anyplace connected to the Mississippi River is magnetic to me) for anything that catches my eye, I was passing over some railroad tracks and glanced down the tracks. Tracks often lead to something interesting, and this bridge caught my attention.
My wife was freaked out by my obvious near instantaneous decision to turn around and find a place to park in order to check it out. I don't know why she was surprised - this isn't exactly a rare occurrence for me. I managed to safely pull off the side of the road, then make a u-turn and go back and park near the bridge.
Besides the bridge, I was drawn to the curve in the tracks leading up to the bridge. In this case, it helped me get the "standing in the middle of the tracks" perspective without actually standing in the middle of the tracks.... The older you get, the more dangerous standing on the tracks is (or any number of other places you might decide to go out in the real world to "get that shot"). Your senses and cognition are declining, and I'll be damned if I'm going to lay down my life for a photo that will never see the light of day! (if I'm hit by a train) Besides that - let's face it - I'm too lazy to make the effort. This is the advantage of not taking this photography stuff too serious.
Another interesting fact with this picture is that the bridge spans the entire Mississippi River. With a 600mm zoom it is compressed and presents the optical illusion of the distance being relatively short.
In Lightroom I tried my different tricks of making things more interesting. Then I loaded the edited image into Deep Art Effects to give it a more cartoonish feel to it (downside is much lower resolution).
Between the Juvenile Eagle image and this bridge - I thought the few hours spent on a Saturday morning in Hastings, MN on the Mississippi to be a good investment.
Thanks for stopping by!
Mike
I can forgive a rain shower while on holiday when this happens right after, giving this view from our campsite :~))
I had to be quick though , it faded as fast as it appeared!

My older sister that lives in Las Vegas was diagnosed last summer with colon cancer that had metastasized to her liver, Stage IV. She began a chemotherapy regimen. After months of treatment and not seeing signs of improvement, she and her husband sought out a second opinion at UCLA. There they found a wonderful team of doctors that finally gave her and her family some hope. She started a different chemotherapy regimen with the hopes of making her a candidate to have the right side of her liver removed, that the healthy left side would be able to regenerate, that the best possible outcome would make her cancer free after the resection. During this time, to prepare her for the surgery, she underwent a procedure, a hepatic artery embolization, where they would stop the blood flow to the right side of her liver, and without the blood flow the cancer would not be able to keep growing. After a few months they were hopeful the tumor would shrink and she would have enough healthy liver left to regenerate and function after the resection. It didn't turn out that way. The cancer, they said, had now moved into the left side of her liver, in addition to the right, and she was not a candidate for surgery at that time. So they changed the chemotherapy plan once again, this time more aggressive. She made it through that round and went back to UCLA for another scan. The head surgeon said although the chemo had stopped the cancer from growing more, there was still too much cancer to remove, that there would not be enough healthy liver left, but that was if he was relying on what information the scan was giving him. He questioned the scan and said he wanted to actually look at her liver to get an accurate indication of what was really going on. Before the surgery, he gave her a 50/50 chance that he would be able to resect the liver. If that was not possible, he would implant a pump in her liver to deliver long-term chemotherapy.
This morning she went in for surgery, not knowing what the outcome would be when she came out of the anesthetic fog. Her friends and family waited from other cities as her husband kept us updated with texts as he received new information. The result was more than anyone could have hoped for, wished for, even imagined. As it turns out, the cancer was confined to the right side of her liver and what the scan was indicating on the left side as cancer was actually benign cysts. They successfully removed the right side, she has 65% of her liver left, which will regenerate, and the colon cancer was taken care of with the chemotherapy and a surgical procedure done at the same time as the liver resection. According to her doctors she is cancer free.
I've learned that tomorrow is not guaranteed, to never ever give up hope, because sometimes, not every time, but sometimes there are true miracles. I've learned to forgive and forget, that life is too short. I believe prayers do work. I have a newfound respect for anyone suffering from cancer, what people go through to survive because they have a lot more living to do.
Nancy, you put up a good fight. You kept a positive attitude when I know it must have been so hard to do so. I’m so very proud of you. I know there are brighter days ahead for you. I’ll see you soon.
Your little sis.
My best friend and I are sorta fighting, and it isn't fun at all.
I just wish we could skip to the part where we are all friends again and everything is ok.
In other non personal news, Aspen, Raven and I took some AMAZING photos on sunday for week 8. I'll upload them at some point.
Forgive me my nonsense as I also forgive the nonsense of those who think they talk sense.

Forgive me
I seek purity
Forgive me
Inside her eyes
Spare me
I fear intimacy
Spare me
From their lies

Every day the children run on the playground.
With the movements of their little legs, they rotate
the planet like in a circus,
they want to be acrobats and magicians.
Every night the children thank us for having brought them
into the world. With beautiful politeness, they raise themselves
in their beds and with tiny future arms
they cling on a stiff-neck, the longing
of their parents are their toys.
Then they lie on their backs
like ceiling painters of prayer-houses
and paint for themselves beautiful skies.
I open the window:
All the outer space passes through the room
and I forgive then to my parents that made me.
I sit next to the children until they fall asleep
and I say seven times
as the closing prayer of Yom Kippur:
“I am not God”,
seven times,
I am not God.
