A hot chocolate with all the works

 

I had time to relax in Costa coffee (similar to Starbucks) inside the Tesco store at Haslingden, Lancashire.

 

It was a bit excessive, but I really enjoyed it 😃

 

Happy Saturday ⭐️⭐️

You may only enter when three sheep align!

 

Our sheep. We have three Soays and one Cheviot.

The Cheviot sheep is quite old now. The Soays are triplets, and people often think that they’re goats.

Lots of families come with young children to feed them. They’re very friendly and come running over.

I got a book titled ‘A Guide to Surgical Procedures’...

 

I opened it up and the appendix was missing 😄

From a recent flight from Las Vegas to San Francisco.

…the banana was not harmed during her performance. 😉

A behind the scenes picture from an upcoming performance I have today at the Grand Garden Arena. Another moment when I wish I had my DSLR on hand, but I was there to rehearse, not to take photos. 😉

The Blue Mosque is famous for its interior, decorated with over 21 thousand Ottoman era Iznik tiles, made from fired quartz, with a bit of clay and silica. The tiles are decorated in four traditional colors –turquoise, cobalt, malachite, and coral, giving the mosque its famous overall blue colour. The traditional techniques for making the Iznik tiles, were all but lost for 2 centuries, but have recently been revived. Istanbul, Turkey.

Moving towards spring!

 

It’s great to start to see the signs of growth in nature.

How lovely it is when the greenery returns.

A PRAYER IN SPRING

 

(Robert Frost)

 

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;

And give us not to think so far away

As the uncertain harvest; keep us here

All simply in the springing of the year.

 

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,

Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;

And make us happy in the happy bees,

The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

 

And make us happy in the darting bird

That suddenly above the bees is heard,

The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,

And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

 

For this is love and nothing else is love,

The which it is reserved for God above

To sanctify to what far ends He will,

But which it only needs that we fulfi

Dark clouds descend over Turf Moor as Burnley FC are relegated from the Premier league to the Championship.

 

That’s fine though. I’ve always enjoyed being in the Championship. Who knows what’ll happen next season?!

 

One thing for sure is that I’ll always be a Claret ♥️💙

Seems a bit late to flower to me

 

We acquired the small tree about six weeks ago from my wife’s sister & her husband.

We’ve worked hard on trying to breathe life back into it, and I repotted it.

A MINOR BIRD

 

Robert Frost

 

I have wished a bird would fly away,

And not sing by my house all day;

 

Have clapped my hands at him from the door

When it seemed as if I could bear no more.

 

The fault must partly have been in me.

The bird was not to blame for his key.

 

And of course there must be something wrong

In wanting to silence any song.

Stunning Seaside Spherical Perfect Panorama Patchogue 360° - IMRAN™

What a perfect day at the blessed beach of the East Patchogue, Long Island, New York home it was. Enjoy every inch of it as if you were there with me.

It was an absolutely perfect set of 24 photos even the previous model Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max captured. I was able to stitch it into this panorama. Only a couple of places on the Fire Island horizong line had to be touched up.

Those titching blemishes could be noticed on zooming in. They were caused by the photos being taken handheld while I stood on soft sand trying to align the shots and get full coverage from sky to sea to sand.

These old trees at Thornham are an interesting relic from the past and a great variety of captures from wandering around them. But it is advisable to wear wellington boots !!!

 

Taken on iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Anybody who travels a lot has experienced this moment personally. That realization that your luggage is lost…

Unsure of the species, do you know?

Evidently its a Hornet Mimic Hoverfly.

  

Shepherds Synchronized Sunday Sleeping Parallel Poses Positions Photo – IMRAN®

This cherished memory, captured on January 9, 2022, in my living room, shows K2 and Kennedy resting in perfect harmony—matching the colors of the floor and furniture as if they were part of the home itself. Kennedy, whom I lost in April 2024, remains forever in my heart, and this image is a poignant reminder of the quiet beauty of our time together.

Taken in the early afternoon, with sunlight gently filtering through the white curtains, the natural glow adds warmth to the peaceful scene.

Please please please let me get what I want this time!

 

It’s Burnley’s last game of the season today… at home to Newcastle. It’s a big ‘big game’!

If we win we stay in the Premier league, if we draw and Leeds draw or lose at Brentford we stay in the Premier league, if we lose and Leeds lose we stay in the Premier league.

Any other result is a disaster!

 

C’mon Burnley!

GOD’S GARDEN

 

Robert Frost

 

God made a beatous garden

With lovely flowers strown,

But one straight, narrow pathway

That was not overgrown.

And to this beauteous garden

He brought mankind to live,

And said: 'To you, my children,

These lovely flowers I give.

Prune ye my vines and fig trees,

With care my flowerets tend,

But keep the pathway open

Your home is at the end.'

 

Then came another master,

Who did not love mankind,

And planted on the pathway

Gold flowers for them to find.

And mankind saw the bright flowers,

That, glitt'ring in the sun,

Quite hid the thorns of av'rice

That poison blood and bone;

And far off many wandered,

And when life's night came on,

They still were seeking gold flowers,

Lost, helpless and alone.

 

O, cease to heed the glamour

That blinds your foolish eyes,

Look upward to the glitter

Of stars in God's clear skies.

Their ways are pure and harmless

And will not lead astray,

Bid aid your erring footsteps

To keep the narrow way.

And when the sun shines brightly

Tend flowers that God has given

And keep the pathway open

That leads you on to heaven.

… and a Caterpillar

 

I caught this beauty crawling along some timber that I’ll be using to build the framework of a shed.

 

I don’t know where he’d been or where he was going.

(Un)Chilling With Blue-Eyed Blonde Hottie Shannon By The Golden Red Fireplace - IMRAN™

(My 118th Flickr Explore!)

It was complicated taking this photo (no edit, no filter, no tweaking, SOOC {straight out of camera} from the iPhone 13 Pro Max) considering the angle of the sofa, angle of the camera, and my stretched and angled arm to try to fit in my double-chin, and double-magics of blue-eyed blonde beloved Shannon, all in-line with the roaring fireplace. It was not complicated feeling loved and enjoying the occasional near-freezing nights Tampa Bay, Florida can have. I had to ask Shannon to hold my can of (cold but absolutely never to be purchased again) AHA zero-sugar zero-taste zero-value non-cola. Nothing else was cold in the room that night. Kennedy and K2 were to the side, but one of the Roomba cleaning robots insisted on being in the photo.

Beautiful mirror and artwork in one of the halls in Oakley Hall Hotel. Somehow I managed to take this with my iPhone but did not appear in any reflection !! (It is one single image incidentally.)

Follow the mooring rope that leads you down to the boat, the sun ripples reflected from the water caught my eye.

Blakeney Marine Services use this boat to go and retrieve customers boats that have lost their moorings and swept out towards the sea.

They also collect customers boats to be repaired and service ready for the next season of summer boating.

 

Shot was taken at low level with my monopod to try and get dramatic viewpoint, the slipway here is very slippery and usually wellington bots are the order of the day. Or use an extended monopod from the safety of the quay.!!

Now a planter !

 

The former water feature is made of fibreglass, and was a sandy colour.

Yesterday I ripped out the electrics, and pipes for funnelling water around.

I already had some black paint (for painting plastic downspouts and gutters) and so I cleaned the article and then painted it black.

Today I added the compost soil and flowers. It nicely fills that corner.

 

I also painted a concrete horse’s head, and a small concrete bench set with the same paint. They were looking old and worn. They’ve come up a treat.

Feed them and they will come!

 

There aren’t any red squirrels in our area, but, we still enjoy seeing the grey ones.

I bought the feeding station from Amazon. It’s good but I didn’t think that the wood would stay in a good condition for too long; so I stripped it apart and painted it.

As you can see it has an area for squirrel food, a place for a corn cob, and a drinking area.

I’m quite impressed with the design.

 

Flickr doesn’t let me add the squirrel emoji to the title.

GHOST HOUSE

 

Robert Frost

 

I Dwell in a lonely house I know

That vanished many a summer ago,

And left no trace but the cellar walls,

And a cellar in which the daylight falls,

And the purple-stemmed wild raspberries grow.

  

O'er ruined fences the grape-vines shield

The woods come back to the mowing field;

The orchard tree has grown one copse

Of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops;

The footpath down to the well is healed.

 

I dwell with a strangely aching heart

In that vanished abode there far apart

On that disused and forgotten road

That has no dust-bath now for the toad.

Night comes; the black bats tumble and dart;

 

The whippoorwill is coming to shout

And hush and cluck and flutter about:

I hear him begin far enough away

Full many a time to say his say

Before he arrives to say it out.

 

It is under the small, dim, summer star.

I know not who these mute folk are

Who share the unlit place with me--

Those stones out under the low-limbed tree

Doubtless bear names that the mosses mar.

 

They are tireless folk, but slow and sad,

Though two, close-keeping, are lass and lad,--

With none among them that ever sings,

And yet, in view of how many things,

As sweet companions as might be had.
