it was foggy early so i rushed outside

Coendersbos, Nuis, TheNetherlands, HFF!

It was rainy day in the desert..

Okay, it's not actually within our backyard, but it's just beyond it. The yard behind our house borders a large park that is just being developed. The park was recently seeded, and the straw was put down as mulch. I took this shot while standing on our backyard deck. I think these Sandhill Cranes must have been eating the grass seed.

I know that there's not a lot going on in this image. But I rather like the repetitive poses of the birds, and I thought it was kind of cool that I could get this shot without leaving home, so I decided to go with it. The abundance of Sandhill Cranes in the area near our new home in Michigan has been one of the pleasant surprises of living here.

HMM!

'November comes

And November goes,

With the last red berries

And the first white snows.' - Elizabeth Coatsworth

It is said that the American Avocet brings elegance in the bird world to a new level. This image taken in the mangroves of the Ten Thousand Islands in SW Florida highlights this.

Paddy can land on a sixpence .. Elk's beginning to defer to Pad's as she's realising just as Mist does with having her that's she's got a Pad's that does that so why bother!

It's too bad that I couldn't upload the heavenly scent of these tulips and hyacinths which were part of an indoor floral display. Meanwhile, I thought you might enjoying looking at the display. HSS!

It remains a strange sight to the feeling tropical birds in the ice cold Grevelingenmeer between Battenoord and Herkingen on Goeree-Overflakkee.

Het blijft een vreemd gezicht deze voor het gevoel tropische vogels in het ijs koude Grevelingenmeer tussen Battenoord en Herkingen op Goeree-Overflakkee

Wish you all a nice new week

After the processing, this song popped up in my head:

'Paint It Black' by The Rolling Stones.

The first to lines are:

""I see a red door and I want it painted black.

No colours anymore, I want them to turn black.""

Sweet memories of Schiermonnikoog ;-))

Happy weekend!

“Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right.”

Quote ― Martin Luther King Jr.

Spotted this during a walk, it was carved into a tree stump ;-))

A sou-easter whipping up a big swell

Het lijkt op een?

In werkelijkheid een esdoorn met tegenlicht

It seemed to be the season when all a the males join the herd to look for some love interests. I think they make a cute couple.

Although it did not last long it was good seeing that white stuff covering the trees,

And I had my now blower all ready to go:-)

The severe angle of this tree, and the evidence of complete surgery of all of its limbs, was not enough to destroy its ability to survive. Fresh branches have sprouted...I hope it makes it.

Ironically, this tree survives at a "ghost town" , Glen Haven, Michigan.

it should be autumn.. it's hot.

and then it's not.

a cool rush....

clouds brushing the hills

and suddenly

straight into the weather

this bird.

It is amazing the climbing ability and balance that the Great Heron has when looking for it's next meal!

Pots and Grass by [8f8] So'L'Estate at Summerfest

I, I gave it my all, I tried

But nothing could stop this fire

So hard to leave it all behind

And I know

The good with the bad, we fall

What is the point of it all? (mmh)

So there goes my heart, I fell apart

Trying to love

Wanna be free, so God, tell me, please

Is it in the stars? Oh

Feel it in my bones, oh, I've got to know

Tell me what it is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)

It is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)

On my mind always, at least three times a day

Tell me what it is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)

It is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)

Is it that sense of wonder? (wonder)

It hit like lightning (lightning)

Feel that inner thunder (thunder)

It's so inviting, yeah (ooh-ooh)

Feel it in my bones, oh, I've got to know

Tell me what it is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)

It is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)

Dive deep in the dark with no light

And I'm looking for a sign

Should I have left it all behind?

And I know life really takes its toll

But what is the point of it all? (yeah)

So there goes my heart, I fell apart

Trying to love

Wanna be free (wanna be free), so God, tell me please (God, tell me please)

Is it in the stars? (gotta know, oh-oh)

Feel it in my bones, oh, I've got to know

Tell me what it is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)

It is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)

On my mind always, at least three times a day

Tell me what it is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

It is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

Is it that sense of wonder? (wonder)

It hit like lightning (lightning)

Feel that inner thunder (thunder)

It's so inviting, yeah (ooh-ooh)

Feel it in my bones, oh, I've got to know

Tell me what it is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)

It is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)

Don't know how, a feeling so strange, yeah

The way time never stays the same

So is life with failure and age? (ooh-ooh)

Wondering, why do we throw so much shame? (why? Yeah)

You and I are one in the same (one in the same)

Dust from a heart to a flame (uh, right)

Is it love that proves in our faith? (is it love?)

Or how we move, spiraling? (Is it? Is it? Is it now?)

Oh, I feel it in my bones, oh, I've got to know

Tell me what it is, it is (what it is, what it is, what it is)

It is, it is (What it is, what it is, what it is)

What It Is-Listen
