Went out in the light rain to see if any raindrops in our redbud and found this tiny green guy, a lacewing. Its wings were about the size of the the blooms. First time to ever see one in our redbud. Hard to shoot since very breezy, handheld and overhead in extremely dim light. Not quite in focus but saving anyway since the first time to see on in our redbud. :)
Sorry for so many photos of very similar things. Not much going on with more days of rain and thunderstorms so had to run outside in our front yard for a few quick photos. Likely more redbud photos coming in the future. :)
Zee germans are the future! well so says 66150 leading fellow "pink donkey" 192 passing Marsh Benham on 6Z53 off Tytherington
Spread your wings, ride the air
Fly over the water without a care
Above the waves racing to the shore
Above the drops that did pour
From God's eye and did weep
Filling up the bottomless deep
Below the wings that ride the air
Flying into the future without a care
Chasing aurora, it was very cold my feet are still frozen!

Shot for Week 16 of my "52 Weeks of 2023" flickr group project given the theme "Black & White Architecture".
This walkway not only looks futuristic, it's on the path I take every day to and from my office. So for me, it literally is a look 'into the future" every day.

Compared to the previous one this one is taken with Olympus E-M1 + 50mm F2 half-macro + Raynox DCR-250 closeup-lens. And this one was taken in the dark time instead of tea-time. Only street lamps were used as a light source.

This is one of my best memories of Uganda.
For an entire day, I excused myself from the group and went alone...just a translator and me. I got observe village life outside the context of ministry...got the opportunity to sit with people, talk with them about their lives, and ask questions about their trade and craft.
This young mother was captivating. To me, she represents the heavy load born by the tireless Ugandan women. They build the houses, gather the supplies, hand launder everything, carry the water, tend the gardens, cook the food and raise the children.
This is my tribute to them. They truly are the nurturers of Uganda's future.
this past Friday, Chloe and I decided to take a drive over to the nearby Churchville Nature Center.
They have a delightful little fenced in garden, full of native wildflowers, and several little ponds
. Chloe and I were excited about the prospect of finding some frogs, and maybe a turtle or two sitting by the ponds.
There are usually plenty of them there.
But alas....when we pulled into the parking lot there were 6 school buses.
That meant there were schools having a field trip and there was going to be plenty of activity. The normally serene garden, was buzzing with action and noise.
As a result there was not a frog or turtle to be found,.
The funniest moment of all though, was when Chloe and I overheard a couple of kids complaining about not seeing anything.
I whispered to Chloe, "That's because they don't know the secret." (I'm always telling her the secret to seeing any wildlife is that you have be very quiet so you don't scare them away....sometimes now when we walk out back looking for the deer, and I say something to her, she'll shush me, and tell ME we have to be quiet!)
As we walked by the group of kids, Chloe stopped and said, "You can't see anything because you don't know the secret!"
The one kid took the bait and asked, "What's the secret?"
Chloe promptly replied. "You have to be quiet!, and walked away!
I had to chuckle.
We did manage to spot a couple of tadpoles. Chloe was really intrigued by the fact that these "fish" were going to grow arms and legs and then be able to walk out of the water, and in the end, when they were all done growing up they would be frogs.
LOL.....I'm not quite sure she believed me.
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.

Honestly, Why are we in so much hurry to grow up? Live your life end enjoy it to the fullest ;)
Sporting the slogan "We are the future", 66150 leads 6X01 Scunthorpe Trent Terminal Complex to Eastleigh East Yard past Washwood Heath. The reason for this is because the loco runs on Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO). The working was unusually top and tailed, with 66085 on the rear, as well as being operated by DB, with GBRf having taken over this working.
The inner sleeve of the Usborne Book of the Future featured this alien landscape with strange multipedal robots and it always fascinated me as a kid. The searingly bright sky suggested a planet bathed in a steady dose of radiation from the star in the sky, no vegetation, the baked rocks and the robots exploring.
That, and the goofy cool world of Micronauts vehicles and Starriors.
Here's another slightly more colourful individual, and both rhinophores are only about a couple of mm. out of perfect focus. Only marginally cropped. Ideally, I would have liked this shot on a black background, but am happy with the composition.
Spotted this little girl , at the Tulip Festival seriously focusing on taking a tulip close-up! Wonder how it turned out?!

a.k.a Surf City, USA
I am constantly amazed with the talent of the young and some very young surfers. There were quite a few of them on this morning. This particular dude (could he be more than 10 years old) was one of them. He was constantly able to find the right location to catch a wave and then to be able to actually ride it when so many seemingly more experienced surfer simply failed.
