I don't have to take a trip around the world or be on a yacht in the Mediterranean to have happiness. I can find it in the little things, like looking out into my backyard and seeing deer in the fields.

I recently posted the color version of this scene. As often happens, the more I look at some images, the more I think they should be in black and white, so here is another take on it. Of course, the color version is more true to the way the place actually looks. This one looks to me like it’s a right good place to be haunted.
Almost in Wombourne and the end of this part of my walk and i came across this bench put here in loving memory of a couple 'May & Leah'"who must have loved this part of the Worcestershire & Staffordshire Canal and the view from here ........Wombourne,South Staffordshire ,Staffordshire England
The soil is rich and fertile in many parts of India so one sees many fields of crops on a road journey. If you are lucky, a woman will be working in a field with a bright colored sari on with ornaments sparkling in the sunlight.

This behavior I've seen before folks but this time it was really in defense of an onslaught of Coots, and he did stand his ground, Thanks for visiting and have a great day.
A hawk perched in a tree in Teton Valley, Idaho seems to be enjoying the beautiful sunrise over the Teton mountain range. The peak on the left is the Middle Teton and the peak behind the tree is the South Teton.
This church was brought from the village of Cherepyn, located in the Obukhiv district of Kyiv region.
It is built in the style of traditional Podillian architecture of the 18th century. The domes of this church are already of the onion-shaped type.
The church features the typical structure of a narthex (entrance area), a main log chamber, and an altar section. The structure is made of hewn wooden beams, the roof is covered with shingles, and the domes are clad with wooden shingles called 'lemesh'.
Until 2020, services were still being held in this church. In 2020, the so-called COVID pandemic began (which I personally consider a scam). In Ukraine, a number of absurd restrictions were imposed (such as bans on visiting parks), and the museum grounds were also closed. In 2023 the museum territory drew the attention of bad actors who launched a raider attack on it. (If you want to learn more about ‘raider seizures’ in Ukraine, you can ask Google or AI).
In August 2024, following a series of court rulings, part of the museum’s territory was transferred to a private company by a decision of the Kyiv's appellate court. Currently, the museum’s management and the Ministry of Culture have filed a cassation appeal to the Supreme Court of Ukraine.
This pfhoto was taken by my mom on August 2014.

“Tutti dicono che il cervello sia l'organo più complesso del corpo umano, da medico potrei anche acconsentire.
Ma come donna vi assicuro che non vi è niente di più complesso del cuore, ancora oggi non si conoscono i suoi meccanismi. Nei ragionamenti del cervello c'è logica, nei ragionamenti del cuore ci sono le emozioni.”

****************************************************************************************
The tall ship Schooner Jolly II Rover was designed by Naval Architect Meritt Walter as a mercenary vessel and was built in 1994 by Bock Marine of Beaufort, North Carolina. The Rover’s hull is constructed out of steel and at 80′ long with her trademarks sails, topmast and square rig she is a magnificent sight under sail as well as sitting quietly dockside.
The amazing Schooner Jolly II Rover is proudly owned by Bill Malone and is operated out of Key West’s Historic Seaport. He purchased the Jolly II Rover in 2003 to fulfill a lifelong dream of operating a classic, square rigged, topsail schooner.
At the time of purchase, the Jolly Rover was in Fort Myers, Florida. With the help of enthusiastic friends, Bill sailed the Jolly Rover back to his adopted home of New Orleans. With his new team, “The Pirates of Lake Pontchartrain” he offered day and evening sails on Lake Pontchartrain with daily sailing trips, sunset sails and sailing charters.
Several years later you could say that fate intervened. Hurricane Katrina passed through New Orleans and blew the Jolly II Rover back to Florida where the tall ship belongs – among the traditional sailing ships, both mercenary & merchant, of the Historic Seaport of Key West.

The sun was coming up from the left and this magnificent lion took his place high on the rocks as if to place himself in the spotlight. How truly gorgeous they are . It almost took my breath away to think I was really llooking at this beautiful animal living free.
Camellia.
I love these flowers. But, alas, they really need acid soil for their roots :(
This was taken in April on holiday in Devon. I thought it would be a nice one for the Friday Flora group today.
Thank you for looking. Happy Friday Flora. I hope you enjoy pink :)

Eine Korsage im Gothic-Stil ist ein Statement-Piece, das Rebellion mit dunkler Eleganz verbindet. Gothic-Korsagen setzen oft auf historische Einflüsse aus der Viktorianik oder dem Mittelalter 😎👌
A Gothic-style corset is a statement piece that combines rebellion with dark elegance. Gothic corsets often draw on historical influences from the Victorian era or the Middle Ages 😎👌
The piers end there in the clouds' reflection on the water and ice that was there in the river.
Happy Bench Monday :)
This a beautifull landscape during my trip around Teruel. In this place you can find everything you need to compose whatever you want.
A quick shot of the Orion Nebula (M42), one of my favourite celestial objects and a really satisfying target. I've been waiting a year for an opportunity to image this nebula again, this time with a polar alignment and guiding to enable much longer exposures than the 15 second subs I took last time and with a lower ISO to reduce noise. The next project with this is to either stitch two shots together or, better still, rotate the camera in order to fit both the Orion Nebula and the nearby Running Man Nebula into one frame.
13 x 4 minute exposures at 400 ISO
8 x dark frames
10 x flat frames
21 x bias/offset frames (subtracted from flat frames only)
Total exposure time - 52 minutes
Guided with PHD

[Wikipedia] The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2000 times the mass of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula.
The Orion Nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky, and is among the most intensely studied celestial features. The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. Astronomers have directly observed protoplanetary disks, brown dwarfs, intense and turbulent motions of the gas, and the photo-ionizing effects of massive nearby stars in the nebula. [Wikipedia]
Captured in Liverpool city centre as these skate boarders are pulled and ticketed by a pair of plastic policemen, taking their role way too seriously.
I particularly like the stare the girl is giving the bald man.
I've changed the effect to something I feel you would find in the local paper. I can see the headline "community support officers clamp down on hoodies"
The kids were not doing anything. Its typical of this country and how it has turned into a nanny state.
I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
Chorus:
I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
- Praise You in this storm - Casting Crowns
Hello Flickr Friends! Thanks for all the views, comments, faves and invites :))
Wiedehopf / Hoopoe
Der etwa drosselgroße, aber bedeutend größer wirkende Vogel (durchschnittlich 28 cm vom Schnabel bis zur Schwanzspitze) ist unverkennbar und auch in Mitteleuropa allgemein bekannt, obgleich ihn hier wohl nur sehr wenige Menschen in freier Natur beobachten konnten. Charakteristisch sind die kontrastreich schwarz-weiß gebänderten Flügel mit deutlichen gelben Einschlüssen, der lange, gebogene Schnabel und die etwa fünf bis sechs Zentimeter lange aufrichtbare Federhaube, deren Enden in einem weiß-schwarzen Abschluss auslaufen. Der Schwanz ist schwarz mit einer breiten weißen Binde etwa im letzten Schwanzdrittel und einer weißen Zeichnung auf der Schwanzwurzel. Der übrige Körper ist rostbraunrot. Charakteristisch ist auch der wellenförmige, schmetterlingsartig gaukelnde Flug, bei dem die breiten, tief gefingerten Flügel nach jedem Schlag fast angelegt werden. Auf mehrere lange, durchgezogene Flügelschläge erfolgen einige kurze, flatternde, so dass der Flug instabil und ungleichmäßig erscheint. Die Geschlechter sind einander sehr ähnlich; die Weibchen sind etwas kleiner und eine Spur matter gefärbt. Während der Nahrungssuche und in Erregungssituationen ist das ständige Kopfnicken sehr auffallend.
