This weekend is Rooster Days in Broken Arrow. I thought this rooster weather vane would be a great way to do the Flickr Friday Top theme and Rooster Days!
I hike and photograph in Aman Park about once every two weeks. It is a wonderful area for photographers and it is only a few minutes from my home. In an effort to alter my usual routine of two cameras with wide-angle zoom lenses, I connected my 90 mm macro lens to one of them and focused on little things. I was surprised at the number of opportunities I found for some quality macro images.
It's a very tasty Belgian ale Leffe. Vas'ka doesn't like any alcohol smell, but this time he was curious.
Thank you all for visits, faves and comments!
It was interesting watching a flock of well over a hundred of these redpolls foraging on the field weeds, then suddenly swirling into the air and seconds later returning to almost the same spot. Possibly the heavy winds of 40 to 60 km per hour contributed to this behaviour.
Thank you for viewing, always appreciated.
It may seem like you are in a dark hole, but soon the light will shine and you can fight your way though
It’s believed that between the 15th and 18th centuries, Easter Island suffered an overpopulation crisis that caused shortages and conflicts between the 12 island tribes. The obsession of building bigger and bigger moai statues was one of the main causes of deforestation and food scarcity. These problems led to a fall in the belief of the moai’s power and their construction was not only abandoned, but some were even torn down from their ahus.

Every winter I forget summer. I forget the smells in the air. The feeling of warm air on my skin. Even the bugs. It all goes away and when summer comes back it feels fresh every time.
It's the first of June. Three months of summer still left to enjoy. After that I forget what this beautiful season is like. I hope that this photo can help me remember during the dark, long winter months.

Have a holly, jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet
Oh, ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas
This year
(Have a holly, jolly Christmas

Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet
Oh, ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas
This year
Life's a long, long road, if we are lucky. For so long I've just followed the road, it seems with one wheel stuck in a rut at the side steering me along without me being in control. And it has gone on and on. There's a crossroads further down in the picture, in the middle of nowhere. No signs. No landmarks. Just an empty crossroads where two roads meet on the barren moorland. I'm getting near there. Do I carry on straight or turn, left or right, and explore a bit to the side...perhaps it was a waste of time, the wrong choice....nothing to see down there, and return to the junction.
I'm almost at that point, decisions, decisions in deciding if I leave so much of what I've known, work, Cheshire and the hills around, friends, goats, North Wales and take a change in direction.
We've found a place. A long way north. Seven hours drive north to Acharacle, Argyllshire at the far end of Loch Shiel. Mountains, lochs, deer, little beaches with white sand, heather...........
I've seen recently how hard it is to leave everything you've known and strike out somewhere else when my son took his young family off to New Zealand. They'd said they never could have anticipated how difficult it would be to say "Goodbye". My turn soon.
Make It Rain - Ed Sheeran
When the sins of my father
Weigh down in my soul
And the pain of my mother
Will not let me go
Well I know there can come fire from the sky
To refine the purest of kings
And even though
I know this fire brings me pain
Even so
And just the same
Make it rain
Make it rain down low
Make it rain
Oh make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down low
Make it rain
Make it rain
The seed needs the water
Before it grows out of the ground
But it just keeps on getting hard
And the hunger more profound
Well I know there can come tears from the eye
But they may as well be in vain
Even though
I know these tears come with pain
Even so
And just the same
Make it rain
Make it rain down low
Make it rain
Oh make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down low
Just make it rain
Make it rain
