A gathering of 'Grandessa' hybrid argyranthemum daisies, in my garden during Spring of 2020. The image has been refined in Adobe Lightroom and given a slender black frame. These are one of my favourite types of daisy to have in the garden. Always available in Bunnings garden centre at Dural, where else? lol

And here's my new thing on Spotify and Youtube Music - an amazing group of artists from around the world called 'Playing For Change'. They do cool cover versions of famous songs, and have really good video clips. This is their version of Stevie Wonder's 'Higher Ground':

Feeling sorrow for the many lives and families destroyed by violence in all countries. Hope that we can do better and choose an enlightened way.
A resident bird of the jungles and forests at higher altitude found in our neighbouring state. They were everywhere and unlike their common cousins, the common Myna, these birds are relatively quiet and mostly minding their own business.
We saw several in the forest we visited last week. Almost all of them were busy carrying food several times to their chicks. The nests were inside tree burrows - which we could see - but we could not see the chicks. The birds were quite wary as the area had lots of predators. We sighted several Malabar Pied Hornbills, Rufous Bellied Eagles, Hobby, Falcons etc... The Mynas were landing on multiple perches before going on to their nests so as to deter the predators.
Thank you so much in advance for your views and feedback.

The berlin cube cloudified and kaleidoscoped for Sliders Sunday. Composite made of two images taken there in mid July. The first image is a capture I took standing right next to the cube's facade and pointing the camera straight up. In Photoshop, I copied the layer with the original image, flipped the new layer horizontally, and cross-faded it with the first layer by using the blending mode "Overlay" at 75 % opacity. 100 % would have resulted in a punchier look on the right side, but I rather liked the softness and that it somehow looks as if the cube would slowly dissolve into or merge with the clouds. The next step was to replace the sky above the cube(s). For that I used a small part of the very first image I'd taken at the cube; I was just about to compose the image in the viewfinder when I noticed the bird, and decided to skip the composing part in favour of the bird ;-) (Birds, just like photographers, love the new berlin cube. There was a constant coming and going on the cube's roof, and it seems that, while not even all new tenants have moved in, yet, the cube's roof has already been occupied by the bird population that lives in the Hauptbahnhof area.) Next, I gently HDRified the finished composite in Aurora, then went into ON1 where I added some sunbeams to the upper sky part of the image, and added a soft glow for an extra airy look.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, have a nice and safe new week ahead!
Kleine Spiegel-Spielerei vom "berlin cube" für den Sliders Sunday. Dieses Bild ist zusammengesetzt aus zwei verschiedenen Fotos, die ich dort Mitte Juli gemacht habe. Für Foto Nr. 1 hatte ich fast an der Fassade des Cubes gelehnt und die Kamera direkt nach oben gerichtet. Dieses Foto habe ich in Photoshop auf einer kopierten Ebene einfach horizontal gespiegelt und mit dem darunter liegenden Originalbild bei 75 % Deckkraft ineinanderkopiert. Danach habe ich den Himmel über "den Cubes" ersetzt, und zwar mit einem kleinen Teil des allerersten Fotos, das ich dort gemacht hatte. Ich war gerade dabei gewesen, eine gute Position zu finden, um den Cube möglichst sauber ausgerichtet fotografieren zu können, bemerkte dann aber den Vogel und beschloss, das saubere Ausrichten zugunsten des Vogels auf das nächste Foto zu verschieben ;-) Überhaupt ist der neue Cube schon sehr beliebt bei den Vögeln, die rund um den Berliner Hauptbahnhof leben. Während längst noch nicht alle Mieter in den Cube eingezogen sind, hat die Vogel-Gang vom Hauptbahnhof bereits das gesamte Dach in Beschlag genommen ;-) Bearbeitungstechnisch habe ich das fertig zusammengesetzte Bild erst in Aurora sanft HDRisiert und dann, in ON1, dem oberen Teil ein paar Sonnenstrahlen und zum Abschluss dem gesamten Foto ein leichtes Leuchten verpasst, um den luftig-leichten Look zu betonen.
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche, bleibt gesund, liebe Flickr-Freunde :-)
Poor Santa was getting so cold sitting in the snow, he decided to climb the tree to get some sunshine. And this way, he can keep his eyes on the chimney :)

Also known as a Grizzly. This healthy boar was seen and admired in the Tetons with good friends Debbie Tubridy, Jen Hall and Rodney Lange.
"Meriwether Lewis and William Clark first described it as grisley, which could be interpreted as either "grizzly" (i.e., "grizzled"—that is, with golden and grey tips of the hair) or "grisly" ("fear-inspiring", now usually "gruesome"). The modern spelling supposes the former meaning; even so, naturalist George Ord formally classified it in 1815 as U. horribilis, not for its hair, but for its character.
Occasionally a huge male grizzly has been recorded, whose size greatly exceeds ordinary, with weights reported up to 680 kg (1,500 lb). A large coastal male of this size may stand up to 3 metres (9.8 ft) tall on its hind legs and be up to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) at the shoulder.
A grizzly bear can also be identified by its rump, which is lower than its shoulders; a black bear's rump is higher than its shoulders. A grizzly bear's front claws measure about 2–4 inches in length; a black bear's claws measure about 1–2 inches in length." Wikipedia
Was a treat to safely enjoy the scavenging, digging and hunting for more food before his time to hibernate.
Have a wonderful weekend!
so high no once can see me....

Yes, I wanted to do this zip line, but I gave up on top of the pyramid stone, because I didn't find the adrenaline I needed. I like higher and longer ziplines.
CN L536 rolls underneath the South Side Elevated starting down the Chicago Sub after taking its window at 16th. The South Side Elevated opened in 1892 making it the oldest line on the Chicago "L".
A nice old stone bridge spanning river Meavy near the small village of the same name. We spotted some trout in the crystal clear and still water. I especially like the gnarly and moss-covered tree mirrored on the water surface and framed by the arch.
I'm always pleasantly surprised by the arrival of the full moon, appearing over the trees across the lake and slowly but steadily moving higher and left to right across my wall of windows, fully in my range of view even while lounging on the couch. An unexpected treat always bringing a small smile. On particularly clear nights, it lights up the lake, now just about frozen over and already being utilized as a more convenient thoroughfare for some of the local denizens. I suppose some anticipate this monthly phenomenon by following calendars or charts. I believe I'll continue to be surprised...

I spent about 3 hours standing in the rain yesterday waiting for the thunderstorms to pass over. The first one came and went without any joy but as the second came though I heard a few rumbles then the rain came in pouring down over Loch Lomond. I would like to say this is one image but sadly trying to catch lightning during the day from previous experience is tricky so instead I filmed it on high res video until I had a strike. Then took some stills and blended the lightning into the shot from the video so I had a higher quality image.

The universe does not know whether the vibration that you're offering is because of something you're observing or something you're remembering or something that you are imagining. It just receives the vibration and answers it with things that match it.” -
Abraham Hicks
The words we choose to use when we communicate with each other, carry vibrations. The word ‘war’ carries a whole different vibration than the word ‘peace’. The words we use are showing how we think and how we feel. The careful selection of words, helps to elevate our consciousness and resonate in higher frequencies. -
Grigoris Deoudis
A no has a different frequency than a yes, and a maybe is all vibration, oscillating between no and yes. My favorite answers have no movement.” -

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
This evenings display was about done before I grabbed a camera. Thanks for looking and happy weekend!
"When I saw you, I was scared of you
Always had to seek the truth
So, if you want to follow love through
Don't look back, I'll reach for you
Can we get higher?
Can we get higher?
Can we get high tonight?
Can we get higher?
Can we get high?" - Keiyan Lonsdale ♫

the city cast a shadow
from a fundament in grey
social standards race me higher
a serenade of dreams
I try to reach
a second hope seems to exist
now I've got to live with them forever
this is the sorrow that comforts me
dreams of torture hunt my sleep
I've never been so alone before
I've never been scared to dream until now
so I close my eyes

From our hike last Saturday, windy and sunny on the hills surrounding Belstone, in the north of Dartmoor National Park. There are some signs that granite has been extracted here in the past, the split boulder in the foreground has a row of holes in it, lining the split, possibly to create this break line. A wonderful remote area, only the Dartmoor ponies were all gone....maybe too windy for them?!

Standing at this point, next to the lighthouse, I could feel really like nothing higher exists....great landscape there!
I should've checked my settings before firing off this shot of tonight's sky, at F22 and ISO 6400 it's grainy, but I'm like a man possessed when I see something like this, rushing through the house to grab my camera and shooting before the scene changes!
Music recommendation from my nephew Dylan:
I continue to be amazed at how many abandoned schools there are in this area, and that most of them appear to have really new roofs
The Andrew Jackson Intermediate School ( which had several other names over t's lifetime ) was built in 1928 in Detroit and closed for good in 2012, with the damage to the building occurring primarily in the 2 years that followed the closing.
