Sometimes a little perspective is all that's needed to remember what's important and what we should be putting our energies into.

Happy Sunday my friends!

Thank you all!

Here's my first image from my recently concluded trip to Kenya.

I was lucky enough to spend a couple days in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy where I was fortunate enough to see about thirty rhinos(including white, black) as well as the last two remaining northern white rhinos and also a blind rhino. This is compared to never having seen a rhino in the Masai Mara region after now having spent two weeks there over two different trips.

I focused extensively on low angle photography to try to get more into the world of the subject matter. This is a white rhino from my first game drive on my first day. Much more to follow!

Chiffchaff - Phylloscopus collybita

The common chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita), or simply the chiffchaff, is a common and widespread leaf warbler which breeds in open woodlands throughout northern and temperate Europe and Asia.

It is a migratory passerine which winters in southern and western Europe, southern Asia and north Africa. Greenish-brown above and off-white below, it is named onomatopoeically for its simple chiff-chaff song. It has a number of subspecies, some of which are now treated as full species.

This warbler gets its name from its simple distinctive song, a repetitive cheerful chiff-chaff. This song is one of the first avian signs that spring has returned. Its call is a hweet, less disyllabic than the hooeet of the willow warbler or hu-it of the western Bonelli's warbler.

The common chiffchaff breeds across Europe and Asia east to eastern Siberia and north to about 70°N, with isolated populations in northwest Africa, northern and western Turkey and northwestern Iran. It is migratory, but it is one of the first passerine birds to return to its breeding areas in the spring and among the last to leave in late autumn. When breeding, it is a bird of open woodlands with some taller trees and ground cover for nesting purposes. These trees are typically at least 5 metres (16 ft) high, with undergrowth that is an open, poor to medium mix of grasses, bracken, nettles or similar plants. Its breeding habitat is quite specific, and even near relatives do not share it; for example, the willow warbler (P. trochilus) prefers younger trees, while the wood warbler (P. sibilatrix) prefers less undergrowth. In winter, the common chiffchaff uses a wider range of habitats including scrub, and is not so dependent on trees. It is often found near water, unlike the willow warbler which tolerates drier habitats. There is an increasing tendency to winter in western Europe well north of the traditional areas, especially in coastal southern England and the mild urban microclimate of London. These overwintering common chiffchaffs include some visitors of the eastern subspecies abietinus and tristis, so they are certainly not all birds which have bred locally, although some undoubtedly are.

1,200,000 territories

I know you're clinging to the light of day

To tell you everything's a-okay

And medication don't do much

Yeah, it just numbs the brain

Guess you might say I'm a little intense

I'm on the bright side of being hell-bent

So, take it from me, you're not the only one

Who can't see straight (can't see straight)

If you were ever in doubt

Don't sell yourself short, you might be bulletproof

Hard to move mountains when you're paralyzed

But you gotta try

And I'm calling out

Get up, get up

Get a move on

I think some of you are pulling my leg. I'm pretty sure "Working Girl" is the international colloquial term for ladies of the evening. I didn't answer any of them, even though I'm always looking for a good time..;)

I wanted more water detail, it was a fast moving river. I used an ISO of 6400, bulb setting; which in this case means I held the shutter open by hand for 60 seconds, since I'd left the remote in the car...:0) ....and low and behold....ripples! YAY! .....after all that, I forgot to check the clarity. Ok...so I'm closer....not quite there yet.

Great chillout version^^

Like the legend of the Phoenix

All ends with beginnings

What keeps the planet spinning

The force of love beginning

Oh we come too far

To give up who we are

So let's raise the bar

And our cups to the stars

I'm up all night to the sun

He's up all night to get some

I'm up all night for good fun

He's up all night to get lucky

We're up all night to the sun

We're up all night to get some

We're up all night for good fun

We're up all night to get lucky . . .

Makin' the scene

I really mean

You could be there with me

And make believe

I'll find a place for us

To be alone

Here in the depth of our emotion

Don't you know, baby

Get set, everybody

We're on our way

To meet you

Too late, everybody

We're on our way

To nowhere

Nowhere we'll be there

Kick out your seat

Let's elevate

Hold on to what you know

is gonna break

A roller coaster ride

Inside your mind

Is what you need to terrify you

Don't you know, baby

Get set, everybody

We're on our way

To meet you

Too late, everybody

We're on our way

To nowhere

Nowhere we'll be there

Never gets you too far

Never gets you too far now

If you climb aboard there is nothing to it

If you concentrate we will see you through it

Don't forget at the end of the ride

You'll be hypnotized by the sound, it's too late

Get set, everybody

We're on our way

To meet you

Too late, everybody

We're on our way

To nowhere

Nowhere we'll be there

If you want me to...

If you want me to...

If you want me to...

Vespidae

I first saw her on the nest almost two weeks ago, so I expect to see a couple of young ones appearing soon. She's pretty well concealed, so I have high hopes for their survival.

I wanna get high

I wanna take a break from myself

I wanna live life

I wanna know all about it

I wanna get over you

I wanna be somebody else

I wanna survive

I wanna just think about myself, oh

And just because I tried, doesn't mean I'm wrong

Just because I'm cryin', doesn't mean I'm not strong

Just because you're right, doesn't make it wrong

Just because we cryin'

Get high

Get high

Get high

Get high
