I have no idea what this hummingbird is doing, but it sure looks like it fell off the perch! Normally I wouldn't include the feeder in the photograph, but this time I couldn't resist.
Quizás o al menos para mi, la cala más bonita de Menorca, con unas aguas totalmente cristalinas y que para los amantes de la fotografía no necesitamos filtros para sedar el agua, pues con un disparo rápido consigues el mismo efecto prácticamente
En otra ocasión os mostrare la cala
Feliz jueves
Life too hard? Hit the road. I really wanted to, but its a private road that leads down to the river so I had to refrain. To old to go to jail. ;) The covid 19 is affecting so many peoples behavior I avoid them like they are the plague. I prefer solitude.
I am taking a break from SL for a while, I let my temper get the better of me and did something I will always regret, Thanks to all my friends and followers, its been a blast. Thank you to Chase for the last year and I am sorry. Thanks to other people that have been a special part of my life, you know who you are. I am not sure if or when I will be back, keep sl fun. Love and best wishes Rachel Swallows-Stone XXXX
My least favourite type of weather, is an overcast sheet of white across the entire sky, featureless, boring and annoying, plus seemingly it lasts forever! So, one thing I know when I have perused other photos against such a backdrop, is that they can look like watercolour paintings. This is what I wanted to achieve in this shot.
However, much to my luck, a Bumblebee flew into the shot just as I hit the shutter down and thus, this is the result, I couldn't be happier. The slightly out of focus Bee accentuates to the image I wanted to create, a water painting without heavy software manipulation; sometimes in photography you can just get lucky!
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you!

There once was a man and he couldn't cry
He hadn't cried for years and for years
Napalmed babies, movie love stories
For instance could not produce tears
As a child he had cried as all children will
Then at some point his tear ducts all ran dry
Grew to be a man, it all hit the fan
Things got bad, but he couldn't cry
for a brief time at the beginning of the 1900s, the word ‘jackpot’ was associated with misfortune, hardship or being in trouble with the law
in his book, the cowboy, philip rollins used the phrase jackpot as an expression to signify a perplexing situation
in 1941, agnes morley cleaveland used the term in her book, no life for a lady...one of the characters needed to get “out of a jackpot”

By the look of his mud-tipped bill, I'd say this ruddy duck hit bottom. I guess that's to be expected. From what I read they dive to the bottom of a pond and filter mud through some plates in their bill to get at aquatic invertebrates, plant matter and the like. Not sure I fully grasp the physical mechanism for this filtering process. Back to this guy. He'll need to clean that mud off - that ridiculously blue bill is there to attract the ladies during the breeding season (which is now)
NECKLACE: Eternity: Mother and Son {for Roxi}~ 100% Donation ~ at Nymphai
copying Duchess’ words, from her blog :
Last weekend we were hit with the devastating news that our beloved Roxi Firanelli lost her son during the night.
Sadness enveloped our little world as the news spread throughout the Ippos family. Luminaries that you can light and send off into the sky have been set up on the dock at Nymphai to help Roxi with funeral expenses. A wonderful creator also designed this delicate mesh Eternity necklace in remembrance of Jeffery, beautifully titled “Eternity: Mother & Son.” The necklace can also be found on the dock near the Luminary Lanterns and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Roxi......

St George in the East
Situated in Cannon Street Road, Whitechapel, London E1 0BH.
It was built between 1714 and 1729 with the funding from an Act of Parliament. It is one of the six London churches designed and built by famous architect Nicholas Hawksmoor.
The church was very expensive to build, at the cost of nearly £20k, it was designed to seat over 1,000 people.
In and around 1800, major work was done on the entrance steps. In 1820 a new vault was added, also the churchyard was drained. In 1829 the church was re-roofed. In 1871, box pews were removed in order to install new seating.
In 1880, 5 Venetian glass mosaics were installed in the apse, illustrating passion and resurrection scenes. The organ which was in poor state had to be rebuilt and between 1881-1886 this was completed by the firm Gray and Davidson.
In 1941 during the blitz the church received a direct hit from a bomb. The interior was destroyed by a severe fire that swept through the building. Fortunately the walls and towers survived intact. The mosaics were also saved but had to be restored.
A new interior was completed in 1964, designed by Arthur Bailey. The design, a much more simple plan.
Scenes from the film ‘The Long Good Friday’ were filmed in and around the churchyard.
