Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.

I went to Jericho Beach with two Flickr friends on Friday morning. At first, the clouds were very thick, but then the sun came through the clouds and created a magical light against the Vancouver city skyline.
Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
Good Friday morning everyone, and one again wishing all a great and safe day and weekend.
As we can see here in our Florida wetlands Spring has Sprung and love is in the air, and of course once again I over shot this series with many many images.
Thanks to all for everything.
It has been said that the lack of pollinators could lead to starvation and poverty. A small insect such as a bee is important as roughly 66 per cent of all the plant species we eat rely on pollinators. With the use of insecticides such as Neonicotinoids that are making an impact on pollinators around the world. Latest evidence shows the risk that insecticides are having and which may affect us all in the future.
My dear daughter, another year has flown,
As you turn seven, you've really grown.
I may not be there on this special day,
But in my heart, I'm there to stay.
I miss you more than words can say,
But I'm sending my love on your birthday.
I hope your day is filled with joy and cheer,
And all the things that you hold dear.
You're a smart and talented little girl,
And I'm proud of you more than the world.
No matter where life takes us, remember this,
You're always my daughter, my little miss.
Happy Birthday, my sweet angel,
May your day be magical and unforgettable.
I love you more than words can express,
My dear daughter, you are truly blessed.
( I only see my little girl from time to time, but every time I'm with her I want her to feel that she has a true father... always )
The Iris has something mysterious about it. In her color palette she has colors that other flowers do not carry. And something magical. She is named after the goddess of the rainbow
Paintings of the flower can be found in the Egyptian pyramids, which scientists believe date back to 1500 BC. Even after that, the iris had a glorious life. She decorated the coats of arms of Louis XVIII (to protect against death) and was a regular model for the painter Vincent van Gogh. Irises belong to the Iris family (Idraceae)
It has been a awhile since we’ve spotted a Kestrel. We were visiting Yolo Bypass near Davis Ca and there were lots of birds to see, including this little beauty.
This Female kestrel was easy to identify by the rufous coloring on her head, wings, and back, with black barring.
The female’s wings lack the male’s blue-gray color.
This has been a really good day…
Had lots of trouble to put the figurines into the car. And after taking photos I couldn't get them out ;-))

Where has all the water gone it was a temporary canal while another was built around it many years ago the trouble being it had to cross a river somehow now has an aqueduct over the river at a higher level near by.
Scenic south West coastline. The fiords of New Zealand are all located in the southwest of the South Island, in a mountainous area known as Fiordland. The spelling 'fiord' is used in New Zealand rather than 'fjord', although all the maritime fiords use the word Sound in their name instead. The Marlborough Sounds, a series of deep indentations in the coastline at the northern tip of the South Island, are in fact drowned river valleys, or rias. The deeply indented coastlines of Northland and Auckland also host many rias, such as the Hokianga and Waitematā Harbours. New Zealand has fifteen named maritime fiords, listed here from northernmost to southernmost. 13677
From the gloomy colors of Winter comes the brilliance and color of Spring. Happy Spring to you all and may we all be able to get back out in the world again soon!
Anyone who has hiked to Devil's Bridge in Sedona, Arizona knows that this image is something of a feat. The Bridge is one of the most popular hikes in Sedona and typically very crowded (as it was this day).
The 5' wide, 45' long and 54' high sandstone arch (created by wind and weather erosion vice flowing water, which creates natural bridges) is the tallest in the Sedona region. The trail is not particularly strenuous, but it does start at 4400' and climb to 4900'. Parking near the trailhead is often jammed, and the road is really suitable only for 4WD vehicles. We hiked the Mescal and Chuckwagon Trails to the trailhead and enjoyed a spectacular spring day.
Foggy Morning has this Tree Swallow Fluffed.
Handsome aerialists with deep-blue iridescent backs and clean white fronts, Tree Swallows are a familiar sight in summer fields and wetlands across northern North America. They chase after flying insects with acrobatic twists and turns, their steely blue-green feathers flashing in the sunlight. Tree Swallows nest in tree cavities; they also readily take up residence in nest boxes.
Migrating and wintering Tree Swallows can form enormous flocks numbering in the hundreds of thousands. They gather about an hour before sunset and form a dense cloud above a roost site (such as a cattail marsh or grove of small trees), swirling around like a living tornado. With each pass, more birds drop down until they are all settled on the roost.
Tree Swallows winter farther north than any other American swallows and return to their nesting grounds long before other swallows come back. They can eat plant foods as well as their normal insect prey, which helps them survive the cold snaps and wintry weather of early spring.

Pfew ... this train indeed has some delay but here we are , finally , again.
Some inspiration of Silent Hill , a little of Resident Evil , a bit of my own and a touch of the emotions of my heart mixed all together into this image.
I'm really thrilled that I finally managed to get another picture done because the items I'm using are definitely worth the attention.
CX and Hotdog did an AMAZING job on this skirt , it looks like it's made of human skin perhaps? All sewed together with an eye still glaring around at the waist. The item really made me think of Silent Hill and how badly I wanted to make a picture of the known Pyramid head guy , I didn't really find the perfect and quality fitting 'pyramid head' for it.
I hope you all enjoy !

I think the word "Alone" has been touched on over and over in this series of photos, however it needs it's own space because it may be the hardest of all the pills to swallow. It's one thing to go through a situation where you've lost everything, but to go through it by yourself is by far the worst feeling in the world. Often times what separates those who make it back on their feet, to those who never recover, is one simple thing. Support.
We're all different people, and everyone who falls has their own reasons for falling. One thing we all have in common though is that any single one of our individual falls can be broken up by another person choosing to get involved. What hurts more than anything in the world is falling, and seeing everyone you ever considered a friend just watching. No one offering to help, no one trying to prevent or even slow your decent, just watching, pitying, and coldly turning the other cheek. There's no feeling lonelier in the world than knowing in your time of need, when it's finally YOU who needs help, that everyone, even the ones you helped at points when you stood tall and they needed a hand, will just let you fall.
If you know someone who is struggling, no matter what that struggle is, let them know you see them. If you care about them, let them know. You might be the reason they recover, you might be all they needed, but you'll never know unless you try.

It has been raining non-stop here in Montreal. I needed something with a little sunshine to lift my spirits. Looks like it isn't going to be a white Christmas after all. :(
Yashka has not yet lost the habit of nibbling on everything that falls into his field of vision, so all objects that he may like have to be raised as high as possible from the floor. In particular, my house boots lie on the chest of drawers.
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!
Rain pours down over a city
Night has fallen like a stone
Are you gone or are you with me?
In my heart I'll never know
If I close my eyes I'll see you
Hear your footsteps in the rain
In my dream I'll never find you
but I'll hear you call my name
As I tread through crowds of people
Trying to keep from looking back
Got your sense on something passing
And it sends me off my track
Do I find you will I follow
To forever and a day
I can feel you in the distance
But you seem so far away
What if I just can't find my way back home (ooh)
What about all the things I just don't don't know (ooh)
What if I just can't find my way back home (ooh)
Would you be there to show me where to go (ooh)
This Mandarin Duck has been spotted on and off at Burnaby Lake Regional Park in the suburbs of Vancouver for about 3 years. Nobody really knows where it came from. One possibility is that it might have escaped or been released. The species is native to East Asia where it is typically migratory. There are some feral populations in the USA and Europe. This particular male hangs out with the Wood Ducks, a cousin species, at the park and is courting one of the females who bear similarities with female Mandarin ducks. I don't know if they can hybridize. This duck sure draws the photographers' attention particularly at this time of year with its dazzling breeding plumage.
Ce Canard Mandarin est fréquemment observé au Parc Régional du Lac Burnaby en banlieue de Vancouver depuis environ 3 ans. Personne ne sait vraiment d'où il vient. Une possibilité est qu'il ait été relâché ou se soit échappé. C'est une espèce typiquement migratoire qui est native de l'Asie de l'Est. Il y a des populations férales aux Etats-Unis et en Europe. Au Parc, ce mâle socialise avec les Canards Branchus, une espèce cousine, et courtise une des femelles Branchus qui sont semblables aux femelles Mandarins. J'ignore si l'hybridation est possible. Ce canard attire toujours l'attention des photographes surtout à ce temps-ci de l'année quand il a repris son plumage nuptial éblouissant.
