In less than a month, we'll be taking to the road, traveling just over a thousand miles to attempt the National Three Peaks Challenge. This challenge is to scale UK's three highest peaks; namely Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in England, and Snowdon in Wales: all within 24 hours!
These events are always a good chance to raise monies for charity. Last year, we (a company of eleven - twelve including our driver), managed to raise a good sum for Mencap; a national charity to support children and young people with learning difficulties.
So, for the past couple of weeks, there has been a desperate attempt to also raise fitness levels, (lose weight!) and increase stamina! This was taken a couple of nights ago when I ran in and around Thorpe, in Derbyshire; this particular hill being Thorpe Cloud.
I would also mention my being at odds with whether or not to bring the camera. This D5300 isn't weather-proof, and the lenses, as far as I know, aren't sealed. The rucksack only has room for a 2ltr drinks bladder, and a few pockets for a spare jumper, and essential first aid kit. Plus, things would turn badly if throughout the expedition, it rained...
Saying that: if the weather is anything like it was last year, what with glorious sunsets, sunrises, and clear blue midday skies... (not that there would be much time to deliberate compositions and what not), great snaps can potentially be had!
What do you think?
En cualquier escapadita por Cantabria, la Costa Quebrada es inevitable, una y otra vez toca repetir foto y aquí está. Saludos.
Mothering Sunday is always during lent here, on the 4th Sunday, and it has been celebrated since the early church.
Centuries ago it was considered important for people to return to their home or 'mother' church once a year, which inevitably became an occasion for family reunions. It was this that led to the tradition of children, particularly those working as domestic servants or apprentices away from home, being given the day off to visit and take gifts to their mothers. Mothering Sunday was also known as Refreshment Sunday, because the fasting rules for Lent were relaxed on that day.
“So one must be resigned to being a clock that measures the passage of time, now out of order, now repaired, and whose mechanism generates despair and love as soon as its maker sets it going? Are we to grow used to the idea that every man relives ancient torments, which are all the more profound because they grow comic with repetition? That human existence should repeat itself, well and good, but that it should repeat itself like a hackneyed tune, or a record a drunkard keeps playing as he feeds coins into the jukebox...”

A slightly different image for me
But anyone who has been on my stream knows, I am anything but predictable ;)
A friend and her 88 year-old mom visited a few days ago
I asked if I could take a few pics and the sweet lady was so game :)

Have a wonderful weekend, and I will see you in a few :)
Thank you for always taking the time xxx
Getting there now I think! Clouded over again but I got 56 images this time (30sec,F5,iso800) stacked in StarStax. Much higher iso this time so a lot more stars on view :-)
European Goldfinch / carduelis carduelis. Northumberland. 15/05/24.
Colour and movement caught my eye on a low vegetated slope, at the edge of a coastal car park. Various walkers passing close by, failed to notice the two little jewels I'd spotted.
A pair of Goldfinch, resplendent in bright breeding plumage, were feasting on dandelion seeds. I watched them for over 10 minutes, enjoying the opportunity to make behavioural images of their feeding techniques.
It was early evening, so the dandelion heads were loosely closed. A bird would select a head and tug out some fluffy parachutes with the seeds attached. Some inevitably dropped, but those in the beak were manipulated so that the seeds reached the bird's mouth.
The bird in this photograph has achieved getting two seeds up to its beak. One seed is inside its mouth, the other, just gripped at the end. You can also also see a litter of fluffy parachutes around the bird's feet.
The smaller Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis) ram pretends to feed, putting some space between himself and the dominant ram. The bigger ram is clearly spoiling for a fight - look at those eyes! The delaying tactic worked - for about 20 seconds. When the smaller ram picked up his head - the dominant ram let him know who was boss.
Why do we fear the changes of the inevitable....aging, moving, the seasons..... Change is taking place every day and with it also comes inevitable beauty for us to enjoy!
The light display that was a feature of the Dark Mofo winter festival in Hobart. It ended on Saturday night, so I thought i'd better upload some of my photos before the memory of the event fades into the winter cold.
The fast moving clouds are red because of the city lights below. I thought it made for a nice contrast even though the lens is focussed on the motion blurred clouds, leaving nothing else in focus. So whilst not a 'technically' good photograph, i'll call it 'abstract art' and see if I can get away with it.

I don’t know about you but I’ve spent most of my life in anticipation for the future, now I hope for time to slow and reluctantly count down days before a happening. I no longer wish away my days on the start of a holiday or a happy event, and of course I hope for an even slower pace when the event is undesired, but the later seem to be upon me in a instant. It’s n to do with Einstein or Hawking’s theories, but time is relative to the perception of the observer. A young man’s first 20 years will have been a life time, but an old mans last 20 is a mere quarter. Try as it might the old pine could not prevent the moon from setting.
The inevitable railroad delays sometime work in our favor as what should have been an all darkness train straight through to Canada instead catches some great early morning sun as it approaches Hayford Road in Champlain, the border less than four miles away. Train CP GPS-03, CMQ 9017, CMQ 9011.
" Pensar en ti,...
... mi corazón
desperté de madrugada
con la sensación de estar enamorada,... "
The way of the heart is immaculate—
it gently glistens in the eyes of an aficionada,
the way love kisses deeply, the soul.
-Cher
Inevitable y fértil. Dura siempre demasiado, o nunca lo suficiente. No me pasaré la vida
viéndola pasar, me cansé de esperarte. No busco una salida, busco la forma de entrar. Sin lugar para dudar y poder valorar cada milésima, sin temor a fallar. Necesito otro flashback más.
