Having found this frozen icicle I noticed that it was slowly melting. I waited patiently for the point when the ice was changing to water and dropping off the bottom of the icicle. It took many attempts until I finally caught the droplet in the optimum position.
Thank you for the lovely comments and faves recently :-)
This one is just for you to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of my little corner. Minimal editing on this to give a real feel.
Wish you all a relaxing Sunday :-)
** I have been visiting my friends in Hebden in North Yorkshire for many years. They live high on the Dales and its usually a little cool there . That weekend in 2019 it was like the Mediterranean over 30 C which is almost unheard of .
The highlight of the weekend was Hebden sports day a small event, but the villagers all seem too have turned out . My friends were running the throw a beanbag at tin cans stall it was all very high tech .
This shot is the boys under 12 running in a sack race race which is harder than it looks . I am sure you agree the setting for the sports day is pretty splendid
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .

Oh How HE LOVED US ,
This is NOT MY Picture, I Pulled This From Another Social Link ... With Their Permission ...
Have a Blessed Good Friday Friends ..
I have taken quite a few photos of this cabin across from us on the lake. It is the perfect winter scene and I have often wondered who lives here.
Have I said how much I like the eye detect in the R5?
Really not a good shot, just showing how fun it is shooting birds I would never get before.
I can't hold this stare anymore.
Over it's shoulder the sun frowns,
settings over naked thoughts,
too late to recapture today's warmth..
What I have done today shall be forgotten tomorrow.
I have mixed feelings about London. It's full of fun activities and great architecture but it's so full of people. Often scary people. I don't have the inner strength to cope for longer than a few hours really and this was one such time. While it was an overnight stay in a hotel, I ventured out only twice: once into the City and another over to Southwark.
A rare almost-sunset shot for me here, as I stared out at the window watching the lights slowly turn on against the lessening light. I focused in on the Shard as it's one of my favourite buildings. The lighter surface on the side? Beautiful.
There have been some very heavy showers over the UK in the last few days and those conditions are ideal for photographing dramatic clouds. For this image, I stopped off at Common Lane in Bramcote, Nottingham, during my lunch break. I just hoped that there might be a break in the dark clouds to illuminate the oil seed field flowers in contrast with the ominous sky.
Beavers have taken a liking to the Ruby Anthracite Creek, which flows between the Ruby Mountains and the Anthracite Mountains in western Colorado. Three dams are visible in this frame, but there are many more.
This made me wonder, once again, whether beavers have a sense of esthetics--they work so hard to create reflecting pools to live in. But on the other hand, one might say that they build dams to build homes safe from predators--their lodges have underwater entrances.
Aspen and spruce in the background, willows crowding the stream.
Having Autumn fun creating shadows upon fallen leaves.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and fabulous day dear Flickr friends !
I have done this shot before. The difference is that, today, no parked car is obstructing the view. This is the gatehouse (and one of the gates) leading to the Tudor mansion of Markyate Cell. The gatehouse was built in the 19th century, though keeping the Elizabethan style of the 16th century. It is a listed building today and a private residence.

“Have you ever seen the dawn, full of deep silence and absolute clarity of perception? A dawning which you truly observe, degree by degree. It is the most amazing moment of birth. And more than anything it can spur you to action. Have a burning day.“

Having got a cloudy shot of "British India Line" previously at the usual place at Ais Gill I decided to try something different from the side of the road .While waiting for the train there was no hope of any sun then about two minutes before 35018 arrived the clouds parted and bingo I had cracked it but not in the main position.Two photographers at the line side have been removed in PS.
Have a nice week everyone !
It will be hot !!!
Artificial spraying again tomorrow
It is too dry

Sunday morning while going to the Air show took some photos of this corner of the yard up front.
For all of you that lost a loved one wishing you a peaceful memorial day.
Someone was getting delivery of a car early in the morning.
I have always been mesmerized and impressed when the sun kisses human faces, objects, creatures, landscapes and blooms!!! Since a very young child! Mainly blooms, I must say! And the blooms of Ajaleas and Rhodos in the Chateau that brilliant , warm, and sunny day , were presenting a really magical view!! Which I share with you in my photos of today!!
The Château de La Hulpe wonderland , is composed by a vast happy woodland and prairies , of some 220 hectares, with some beautiful natural water features here and there in forms of picturesque little lakes and streams, adding softness, brilliance, color, water life, and variety to this exceptional landscape; where many famous giant trees thrive for centuries…
Somewhere in the middle of all this Nature Beauty the Château itself reigns, the Castle, an imposing manor house of the early 19th century , having a lovely, small French style garden in front of it. All of this estate belongs to the municipality of La Hulpe, in the Walloon Brabant of Belgium, where I live. And have the big chance to visit it quite often, since it is about 15’ driving from my home. The entrance is free to the public. I call it my Open Cathedral!! Because this wonderland ushers me to unbelievably deep mystical and uplifting emotions and sensations, the moment I step in !!

I have used this location for two other photographs....so I do find something about it very interesting and attractive.
We have a strange small tree that came with the house purchase last year. Even as a tree hugger, I've not grown fond of this straggly stunted weeping something tree.
Rather resembles the spines of an umbrella.
But I did notice tiny clusters—this one about 1 inch/2.54 cm—of even tinier buds on various small drooping twigs. A tiny sign of spring.
Sigh. As we nurse our latest newly planted sequoias, cedars, and shore pines, this tree will continue to grow. Could not possibly terminate it, but it grows in sight of my home office windows.
Thanks for looking!
