A demon wants you to kneel for it .A very brave hand is giving it the (middle) finger. Maybe the finger is telling the demon to kneel:-)

A picture made with a special thanks to Shu Mesh for the lovely science fiction armor and helmet! I just had to try and get that flashy spine on it.. O.O

Hassocks or kneeling pads. These beautiful hand made ones are part of a tradition in English churches where parishioners make them.

Heading to the tower of love

That does rise, high above

Wrapped in a coat of mist

Where sweet lips will be kissed

Where soft skin , i will feel

As under the tower, you do kneel

In the mist, that does rule above

The tower of mist, the tower of love

A total of 15 orchid species may be found in the New Forest in Hampshire. Many are tall, brightly coloured, readily noticed plants, but not the Bog Orchid. They are tiny, and could be described as an enthusiast’s orchid. They are not much to look at, and unlikely to be seen other than after a diligent search.

Britain’s smallest native wild orchid, Bog Orchids rarely attain a height of more than 8 centimetres (3 inches), the stems are pale green and the tiny yellow-green blooms appear to be upside down compared to most other orchids.

I hope you enjoy this photo of Bog Orchid as I got very wet - and smelly - crouching, kneeling and lying almost horizontal in the bog to get this one picture !

at the botanic gardens, as I'm there so often.

This is me in dorkville mode, wearing all my kit. Two cameras. Three if we count the phone. Hiking stick, and of course a kneeling pad. My hiking stick has a rifle rest which can come in handy steadying a lens also.

The making of decorated kneeling pads is something of a tradition in Norfolk congregations. This is St Mary's in the small village of Gayton Thorpe. The building dates to the 11th Century. The pews are a 1900s restoration.

This was the hood ornament of a Pierce-Arrow automobile. This was in the early decades of the 20th century the luxury car in America. The hood ornament is superb.

....peace and order in the Norman church at the Hospital of St Cross and Almshouse of Noble Poverty

More wonder in the front yard, just watering the few plants left in my milkweed patch. Suddenly all these little green things started leaping out of nowhere, at least a hundred it seemed. I thought they were little teeny flies till I kneeled for closer inspection. Grasshopper nymphs! Kid you not, half the size or less of my baby fingernail. I managed to run for the camera to try and catch them, but they really scattered quickly. At my first look at this pebble, it was densely covered with their little bodies. Here only a few remain. As for the teeny white "dust" specs next to the rock, I don't know but I'm guessing egg shells.

Gleaned from the Web, in case you wanted to know: "The lifecycle of a grasshopper starts with the egg stage. During summer, female grasshoppers lay fertilized eggs in egg pods, usually in more than 10. Each pod consists of roughly 10-300 rice-shaped eggs, depending on the species. During the autumn and winter seasons, for almost 10 months, the eggs remain dormant (under the sand or leaf litter). Again during the next spring or early summer, the eggs hatch into nymphs, the offspring.

"The Nymph is the second stage in the lifecycle. Here, the young nymphs feed on succulent, soft plant foliage immediately after hatching. They are tiny look-alikes of the adult, except they are light-colored and without their wings.

"During this stage, the developing insects shed their skin (metamorphosis) five to six times. The process is called molting. The nymph stage lasts about 5-10 days, based on the species and the weather conditions."

You might remember this exact same thing happened in my yard a year ago, approximately the same exact place in the flower bed. I actually just copied/pasted what I wrote then.,. because what I wrote was perfect.

They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday's just as bad

Wednesday's worse, and Thursday's also sad

Yes the eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday I go out to play

Sunday I go to church, then I kneel down and pray

Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me

Crazy about my baby, yes, send her home to me

Swans of Japan - - down low camera on the water while kneeling on the wet semi-frozen sand was the only way to get this shot.

Grapes by Ai Weiwei, (wooden stools from the Qing Dynasty)

Silicone, pigment, resin, human hair.

Apart from the fact this kneeling woman is about one half natural size, one must do a double take not to be convinced this is just sculpture.

Sam Jinks uses his media to create forms of uncanny precision - hyperrealism. "Yet beneath this realism lies a well of contemplative journeying into the unspoken poetics of emotional vulnerability." [From the exhibition guide.]

I haven't seen a Heron kneeling down before?

This Grey Heron looks quite relaxed at the edge of the lake.

"There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground."- Rumi

Forgive me for not responding to comments this last while as I was moving. Thank you all!

Finally I'm moved (what an ordeal) and I can't believe this is my back yard!! Behind the briers lies the mountain trail and stream, which I will eventually hike, as soon as I am unboxed!!

Already the ferns are speaking to me and stories are falling in the folds of light. oh!

Kneeling in prayer.

Prayer is, in part, air

In motion from the heart.

Our thoughts like birds

wing their way from earth

heavenward. Vulnerable

and small, yet powerful

when soaring high

creating new songs

as they come near

the Source of All Life

and back down again

to earth in bright humility

to share with us

the blessing of all

that they hear

when to the Source of Life

they come near

I thought that this was a very short Killdeer, but closeup it was evident that she was "kneeling". (Look at her knees, and think of how humans kneel) : )

No, Killdeer were not named by advocates for killing deer. The high-pitched call of this bird sounds like "Kill deeer".

The Christmas connection to poinsettias comes from a Mexican legend which tells of a poor girl who dreams of bringing a beautiful gift to favour the Virgin Mary for a Christmas Eve service, yet has nothing worthy.

On the way to Church, she meets an angel who tells her to pick some weeds. She kneels by the roadside and, despite her protests that they are far from desirable, gathers a handful of common weeds and makes her way to a small chapel where she places her offering on the altar.

The moment she does, they burst into blooms of brilliant red poinsettias and her sorrow turns to joy. The Mexicans renamed it Flor de Nochebuena (Christmas Eve Flower).

Poinsettias are native to Mexico, where the Aztecs used them in the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries both for medicinal purposes and for making dye.

Poinsettias are 'short day plants', meaning they flower when there are less than 12 hours' daylight, to ensure the minimum of competitors of pollinating insects.

After all you put me through

You'd think I'd despise you

But in the end, I wanna thank you

'Cause you made me that much stronger

Well, I thought I knew you

Thinkin' that you were true

Guess I, I couldn't trust, called your bluff

Time is up 'cause I've had enough

You were there by my side

Always down for the ride

But your joyride just came down in flames

'Cause your greed sold me out in shame, mhm

After all of the stealing and cheating

You probably think that I hold resentment for you

But uh-uh, oh no, you're wrong

'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do

I wouldn't know just how capable

I am to pull through

So I wanna say thank you, 'cause it

Makes me that much stronger

Makes me work a little bit harder

Makes me that much wiser

So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster

Made my skin a little bit thicker

Makes me that much smarter

So thanks for making me a fighter

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, yeah, yeah, ohh

Never saw it coming

All of your backstabbing

And just so you could cash in on a good thing

Before I realized your game

I heard you're goin' 'round

Playin' the victim now

But don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame

'Cause you dug your own grave

After all of the fights and the lies

Guess you're wanting to hold me

But that won't work anymore (no more, a-ha, it's over)

'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture

I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down

So I wanna say thank you, 'cause it

Makes me that much stronger

Makes me work a little bit harder

It makes me that much wiser

So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster

Made my skin a little bit thicker

Makes me that much smarter

So thanks for making me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew

Turn out to be unjust, so cruel?

Could only see the good in you

Pretended not to see the truth

You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself

Through living in denial

But in the end you'll see, you won't stop me

I am a fighter and I (I'm a fighter)

I ain't gon' stop (I ain't gonna stop)

There is no turning back

I've had enough

Makes me that much stronger

Makes me work a little bit harder (ooh, yeah)

It makes me that much wiser (ooh, yeah)

So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster (yeah)

Made my skin a little bit thicker (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Makes me that much smarter (yeah)

So thanks for making me a fighter (fighter)

You thought I would forget but I, I remembered (ooh-ooh-ooh)

'Cause I remembered (ooh-ooh-ooh)

I remembered

You thought I would forget (ooh-ooh)

I remembered (ooh-ooh)

'Cause I remembered (ooh)

I remembered

Makes me that much stronger (ooh-ooh)

Makes me work a little bit harder (ooh-ooh)

It makes me that much wiser

So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster

Made my skin a little bit thicker

Makes me that much smarter

So thanks for making me a fighter

Moose often kneel to feed if the browse is really short, as in this shot.

Mom, was feeding near by.

I am posting some shots of them together.
