“If a person sees something wrong with someone else, this is a sign that he himself has a similar fault. He sees himself, as it were, in a mirror: if the face he sees is not clean, it is his own which is dirty.”
-Baal Shem Tov
This Arctic Skua reminded me of the conductor of an orchestra. He had been bathing in a fresh water pool and was just flapping himself dry. This photo also shows the white wing flashes and deep barrel chest characteristic of this species. In summer they don't catch their own food like most seabirds, but mug other seabirds for food they are carrying back in their crops. When chased panicking seabirds will regurgitate their last meal and the skua will gather it all in mid air with astonishing dexterity. I photographed this one on St Kilda where I had another encounter with a breeding Arctic Skua. When I walked high on the hill one Skua called at me to signal its displeasure as it had a chick somewhere nearby. I didn't want to disturb it so headed back down and as soon as I turned my back I felt a rush of air as it divebombed me. This one wouldn't attack while I was watching so I then had to walk backwards out of its territory. But one bird on Svalbard wasn't so timid and physically struck me as I was taking a photograph of it charging me. Here's the photo just before impact: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/9459817588/in/photolist
One final thing; Skuas have webbed feet like most seabirds but there is an optical illusion going on here that makes the feet look unwebbed. That is because the webs were almost submerged, but the "middle toe" is a reflection of the leg making the toes look normal.
Out there showing his stuff, making himself proud! ;-)
He kept coming back-really cool to watch!
And now I promise not to show any more Zebras this season, I think?
Dave: Hey Bruno, what's the plan?
Bruno: Orbit. I'm aiming for a low earth orbit this time.
Dave: Really? I didn't think you know enough about orbital physics to successfully hit a low earth orbit.
Bruno: Don't need to know physics.
Dave: Then, what's the plan?
Bruno: When in doubt - just add more thrust.

My other frog, Remus, passed away recently after wedging himself behind a potted plant. His tankmate, Romulus, is now my model frog.
Otis is standing in the midst of pieces from Sally's and my collection of china made for restaurants around 1930's - 1960's; we started collecting in the 1980's when pieces could be found in thrift stores for fifteen cents. The beach glass on the window sill brings back fond memories of time on California beaches, and the other shells are from trips to Sanibel Island (Florida).
Of course Otis, himself, and the cat-feeding station behind him, represent what we love most in our home.
Charlie enjoys laying in front of the fire.
Thank everyone for your kind comments on my recent uploads, Take care and stay safe ........:-))))
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

We saw the very worst in human beings this past Friday.
But after watching the news tonight, I thought we also saw the very best.
I was struck by the fellow in the cafe who put himself in front of a woman as a shield. He died, she lived because of him.
Or the man who pulled the pregnant woman who was hanging out the window of the second floor of the theatre. He put himself in potential danger to help a fellow human being.
There may be rough days ahead, but thankfully I think there is enough who rise above to get us through.

Toby is rather damp after foraging for food in the pond. It's tempting to think he makes himself look pitiful so we'll give in to his pleas for snacks.

Lost a Peanut Skippy spends time scratching around this tree, it looks like he is looking for something, or just entertaining himself, shot in North Carolina.
Taken while walking in my condo complex, with 2 friends yesterday. This guy blared music very loudly to disturb this beautiful, peaceful scene that I have photographed over the last decade.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy each day. Be kind.
As Tofu mainly stays indoors during the cold season he either sleeps or entertains himself with his toys which he tends to ignore during summer. An all time favourite which is always the first toy he remembers when he gets bored is the good old catnip banana. :)

You can see he has a cold here... :-).

I lied.
My car is packed and early (ugh) tomorrow morning the journey back to the north begins.
I now have you all in my camera and will let you out when I get home.
Pizza......my treat.
Guess what!!
Yesterday, I received a Flickr message from someone I didn't know.
When I opened it, he introduced himself (a very long name....Esq.) and said he was a Barrister (lawyer). He informed me that I was the death benefit beneficiary of a now deceased man whom I never knew existed, but who left me 9.6 million dollars b/c we had the same last name.
Wasn't that nice of him? :-))
The bank wanted to deposit it into my bank account asap, so the Bastard.....oops, Barrister advised me to call the attached phone # and provide the necessary, unspecified information or the money would be declared unclaimed.
Well hey, 9.6 million is a nice surprise, don't you think.
And you can be sure I'll call just as soon as Flickr Abuse, to whom I reported it with a link to his Flickr page which has NOTHING on it, gives me the all clear, totally legit, go ahead.
$9.6 million.
I'm so happy.....and rich.
Pizza AND drinks on me.
See you up north, folks. ;-)
This coyote was in a marsh on the other side of a tidal channel from where I was standing with my German shepherd, and he really wanted to get out of that marsh but couldn't get himself to cross the channel, which was fortunate because I certainly wouldn't have wanted him tangling with my dog.
Len Grant describes himself as a sketcher, writer and photographer. For over three decades he has documented the regeneration of Manchester and Salford.
The “I’ve Missed You Too” exhibition (2020‑21) was a celebration of the end of lockdown and a homage to Manchester.It was displayed in two city centre locations:
From 12th April 2021: At Escape to Freight Island at Mayfield, nr Piccadilly.
From 15th April 2021: On the fence of Waulk Mill, Redhill Street, Ancoats where it currently remains. Here is the text that goes with the 12 artworks:
“I’ve missed the bus drivers, the tram drivers, the shop assistants, the over-enthusiastic newspaper vendors, the baristas, the traffic wardens, the TV crews taking over whole streets as if they own the place. I’ve missed the Uber drivers, the Deliveroo riders, the skaters and the goths. I’ve missed those guides in uniform who tell the tourists how to get to the cathedral.
I’ve missed rice ‘n’ three at This & That. I’ve missed queuing for a Greggs sausage roll. I’ve missed a plate of free-range poached eggs, sautéed spinach with homemade hollandaise sauce on a sourdough bloomer. Who’d have thought?
I’ve missed settling into a morning’s writing at Central Library only to bump into a friend in the café. I’ve missed the escalator at Waterstones, transporting you to another world. I’ve missed cutting through the Royal Exchange Theatre on a rainy day, just because you can.
I’ve missed meeting collaborators and clients in the Fig + Sparrow, or Takk, or the Federation Coffee House. I’ve missed dropping into the basement of Fred Aldous afterwards, buying another sketchbook I will never fill and another pen I don’t need.
I’ve missed cycling down unfamiliar side streets and being taken aback at what’s changed. I’ve missed negotiating Canada geese and latté-laden hipsters along the towpaths of the Ashton or the Rochdale.
I’ve missed Epstein at The Whitworth and Valette at Manchester Art Gallery. I’ve missed the Arndale’s indoor stalls and those Sunday makers’ markets.
I’ve missed a decent pint with mates in one of the back rooms at The Briton’s, with an expensive bag of peanuts. I’ve even missed the toilets.
I’ve missed Whitworth Street, Canal Street and Oldham Street. I’ve missed Market Street, but much less. I’ve missed the grandee that is Castlefield and the upstart that is New Islington. I’ve missed sitting on my stool sketching. Have I missed Piccadilly Gardens? Probably not.
I’ve missed the pizza at HOME. I’ve missed the cycle path home.
They say cities will change. They say we’ll use them less and Zoom more. Not me. I’ve missed Manchester. I’m glad to be back”.
