“In me there is darkness,
But with You there is light;
I am lonely,
but You do not leave me;
I am feeble in heart,
but with You there is help;
I am restless, but with You there is peace.
In me there is bitterness,
but with You there is patience;
I do not understand Your ways,
But You know the way for me.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“Who knows what women can be when they are finally free to become themselves? Who knows what women's intelligence will contribute when it can be nourished without denying love?”

So, those of you who know me, know that I often wander off in the woods and hills for hours on end camera in hand. Unfortunately on this occasion I made every mistake imaginable, wrong kit, kit missing, wrong settings and rushing to catch the light.
At first glance, you may think I’m crazy. The image looks decent enough right? Look closer and I’ll list everything that went wrong with this excursion.
1 - Wrong lens. I have been working with one focal length lately as an exercise to improve composition. This scene would have been so much better on a wide angle, but I only had a 40mm Macro lens with me.
2 – No tripod. I decided to pack light one camera, one lens, no tripod. I normally take a full bags worth of kit on a hike
3 – I shot in Jpg instead of Raw. The previous night I had decided to check the shutter count on my Nikon D7200. For some reason this only works 9only ways I have found to do this) is to upload a jpg to an online service that can then tell you. Foolishly I forgot to change back to Raw before I went out the next day!
4 - Rushing the shot. As it was getting on in the afternoon, the sun was dropping really quickly. I was already on my way out of the woods when i spotted the scene. With the combination of falling light and wrong lens, I rushed to get an image as quickly as I could
While there’s nothing wrong with shooting in jpg format. It really doesn’t leave a lot of editing doors open for a final image. Especially when shooting directly into the sun in a scene like this one. So, I decided to publish this as to always remind me to check and double check everything in the future.
I'e decided I will be writing a blog post to go into more detail about my "faux pas" later this week
We know we all can stand together
We have the power to be powerful
Believing we can make it better

I know it's difficult... ;P
He's been curled up...mostly completely under all the covers, since 7am.
I was folding laundry all morning, and doing chores, and he just stayed there.
I don't think he's very fond of cold, wet weather. He was sitting by the floor
heat vents this morning, when I invited him up on the couch - he likes :)
Know what you want to do,
hold the thought firmly, and
do every day what should be done,
and every sunset will see you
that much nearer to your goal.

We have been inundated with two packs of coyotes in the ravine so I have been hesitant to go down with my dog by myself. Last night we all went down and I saw a Mallard pair, eight Golden Eyes, a mama Merganser with eleven red-headed chicks, a huge beaver, three different kinds of gorgeous butterflies, five Warblers and this Night Heron! That is what I SAW - but, you never know what else is watching...
she knows when you got snacks! Much like Santa nothing gets past her.
Leave it to Piper to put a smile on my face. She has been my bed warmer (like a hot water bottle) for the last week. When I had tears she would crawl up on my chest and lick the tears off my face. Many people have told me bad things about her breed but I have to say if it wasn't for her I might not be posting at all, she got me to lift the cam again....she really is the sweetest dog ever despite her feisty nature. As of today I had another successful journey around the sun which means more adventures in wild places for me. Stay wild everyone!
The Weeknd - Moth to a flame X Faith Transition
Like a moth to a flame
I'll pull you in, I'll pull you back to what you need initially
It's just one call away
And you'll leave him, you're loyal to me
But this time I let you be
'Cause he seems like he's good for you
And he makes you feel like you should
And all your friends say he's the one
His love for you is true
But does he know you call me when he sleeps?
But does he know the pictures that you keep?
But does he know the reasons that you cry?
Or tell me, does he know where your heart lies?
Where it truly lies
Yeah
You should be with him, I let you go from time
You should stay with him
'Cause he seems like he's good for you
And he makes you feel like you should
And all your friends say he's the one
His love for you is true (hey)
But does he know you call me when he sleeps? (No, no)
But does he know the pictures that you keep? (Oh)
But does he know the reasons that you cry?
Or tell me, does he know where your heart lies?
Where it truly lies
Right here with me, babe
Where it truly lies
My bed, babe
Where it truly lies
In my arms, babe
Where it truly lies
(Oh-oh-oh)
Where it truly lies
Where it truly lies
(Hey)
Where it truly lies
Not a lot of winter this year so far. I'm not even mad, but I hope not to get a snow in the middle of April. One can never know these days. Anyway, I hope you're enjoying the last few 2019 date writing...
I know not another 1 but its a blackcap.Taken years but finally a male out of the shrubs.
The blackcap is a distinctive greyish warbler, the male has a black cap, and the female a chestnut one. Its delightful fluting song has earned it the name 'northern nightingale'. Although primarily a summer visitor birds from Germany and north-east Europe are increasingly spending the winter in the UK.

You know the saying......
"Work with what you've got"
Well here in Hartlepool I have no Glencoe mountains. No Harris beaches.
But what I do have is the well captured Steetley pier.
Trying to find something a little different after all these years, is becoming increasingly difficult
But hey, I love a challenge
So off we set last night back down to our usual haunt.
I'd expected it to be busy, due the warm weather, which usually brings out people in their hoards.
Not the greatest of evenings
Doesn't it annoy when those who come decide to leave their bags full of rubbish.
Idiot folk setting light to things, so the local Fire Service need to attend
Then two foul mouthed youths decided it was fun to walk not past but onto the posts I was stood photographing
Sadly a sign of the times we live in now
But hey, I spotted this reflection under the pier which appeared to show a little more of the underside and due to the low tide, it's the section furthest into the sea
I know I post a lot of rail images but then their a favourite of mine and close to my home in Ohiwa so why not?
Not an easy bird to catch unaware and quickly departs once alerted but a challenge to get good clean images.
Just to let you know I'm still there :)) (and so are some flowers and butterflies in my garden)
However, the potted flowering plants are going on holidays tomorrow :) /
Simplement pour vous dire que je suis toujours la :)) (de meme que quelques fleurs et papillons dans mon jardin)
Cependant, la plupart des fleurs s'en iront en vacances demain :)
THE SEEKER
I am in a house, I know it well, but I have never been there before. There is no light, just me. The halls are empty, it is without life, without the things to bring it to life, no pictures, no tables, no chairs. It is a bleak house, dark, shadows, and even the light that seeps through the cracks, is dark. In the middle of the room there is foreboding, it is under the floor. I feel my hair stand on end.
I look to the door, the door, into which one must never go.
I stand and know that I can't run, I can't hide, because the dark of the house, is outside too. And I know it's time to leave, but I find myself walking, walking toward the door, the door that I must never open, as it leads to the room, the room into which one must never go.
I am sweating, I want to call out, I am trying to scream, it's primal, but there is no sound, there is no voice. I am unable to call for help. I try to move my arms, but they are frozen.
I am though the door, the room that vibrates with fear, darkness - something is moving in the secret passage, the secret passage that lies beyond the room. It is a narrow corridor, and I am bending to walk into the passage, and it leads to a room above the house, in the attic, I feel the cold, it is icy, and I fear for my very soul - I feel the negative energy that seeping into my skin. I am trying to shout, trying to leave, trying to turn away, wanting to run. A shape emerges out of the wall, it comes to me, draining all the goodness from me, and I feel terrible fear and dread, I want to fight it, but I am helpless, I am powerless, I can't move, but I know now, I must face it, I must fight for my life, and every fibre in me is screaming - and I remember .
I have been here before, and it is always the same, when the presence comes I wake up screaming and sweating, my pulse is racing. I have been through this many times before, and I am shaking and quaking, but I realize - despite these confrontations - I do not wake up dead, just terrified, and I begin to feel that perhaps, perhaps, these is no danger here. I have spent nights telling myself before I fall asleep that if this dream comes to me again, meet fear with love.
Now I know I was dreaming. I am out of the icy house. I am awake, lying in my bed. I am calmer now, I try to move, but nothing happens. I can't move anything, but I can see my room, and I feel a rising panic, and I feel the icy cold. There is someone standing at the end of my bed, staring at me. I am trying to scream and move my arms, to wake up, nothing happens. I see him standing clearly in my room, he has followed me here .
Now I will need to fight, but I can’t move, and he can, what are the rules in this situation, I am powerless. It is terrifying. Move !, Move !, Run ! Nothing. Then I remember “Do not get angry, that gives it power”. I stop struggling, start to calm down. He isn’t moving or doing anything, he never has, he just stands there.
"Hi", I think to myself.
"Can you hear me" it says in a sweet peaceful voice.
Oh that's great, he isn't even hostile, he’s doing his best not to terrify me and here I am like a wild animal, scared of the unknown, that's just great. He has been coming to talk to me, to give me wisdom -but his presence has seemed so terrifying , that he can’t even talk to me. I guess he has been coming and waiting patiently for me to meet him with love, not anger and fear. Well this is embarrassing.
I didn't expect a dialog, and I am now wanting to wake up. It's not fear this time, this guy had a very calm and gentle voice, but James Bond just climbed through my window and I sensed things were only going to go downhill from here.
Note to self, you got to do something about the quality of your dreams - oh, and thanks for the lesson in love and fear.
PS - The next day, many, many years ago - we went swimming with friends in mountain pools. The river water in Africa is dark and you can’t even see your feet in the water. We swam across a large, deep pool. I jumped into a big pothole at the end of the pool. There was a waterfall crashing into one side of it and the sandy bottom felt soothing on my feet. No one else wanted to jump in, and I realized, I had forgotten to be scared. The dream sequence has never returned.
PPS – Lucid dreaming is common, and trying to wake up during a nightmare is too – the immobility comes from your body preventing you from sleepwalking in response to dream situations – so it can feel disturbing while dreaming, but it is a good self preservation mechanism that is there to protect you from real harm. So the fear is gone and I am happy to dream on. And I work with dreams and treat them as an active state. If something is bugging you, think about it before you sleep, it can help resolve while you are off to never, never land

Your Best Shot 2017 - Light - www.flickr.com/photos/flickr/galleries/72157689104576172/...
I know most of you seem to prefer the coloured version when I post both, but the B&W is for my 365 project, which I have decided to do entirely in B&W (apart from one blue one...) - it is a challenge to get the conversion looking just so!! I am enjoying myself with this project! 365project.org/peterscherub2/365
Lights flash and we'll run for the fences
Let them say what they want, we won't hear it
Loose lips sink ships all the damn time
Not this time

You know the words "once upon a time"
Make you listen, there's a reason
When you dream there's a chance you'll find
A little laughter, or happy ever after
You're a harmony to the melody
That's echoing inside my head
A single voice
: Single voice
Above the noise
And like a common thread
Hmm, you're pulling me
When I hear my favorite song
I know that we belong
Oh, you are the music in me
Yeah, it's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
Because you are the music in me
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
You are the music in me
It's like I knew you before we met
Can't explain it
There's no name for it
I sang you words I've never said
And it was easy
Because you see the real me
As I am you understand
And that's more than I've ever known
To hear your voice
Hear your voice
Above the noise
And I know that I'm alone
Oh, you're singing to me
Ooh, yeah
When I hear my favorite song
I know that we belong
You are the music in me
It's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
Because you are the music in me
Together we're gonna sing, yeah
We got the power to say what we feel
Troy: Connected and real
Can't keep it all inside, oh yeah
Troy: Ooh, yeah
It's brought us here because
You are the music in me
I know it hurts
It's hard to breathe sometimes
These nights are long
You've lost the will to fight
Is anybody out there?
Can you lead me to the light?
Is anybody out there?
Tell me it'll all be alright
You are not alone
I've been here the whole time singing you a song
I will carry you
I will carry you
I know you can't remember how to shine
Your heart's a bird without the wings to fly
Is anybody out there?
Can you take this weight of mine?
Is anybody out there?
Can you lead me to the light?
You are not alone
I've been here the whole time singing you a song
I will carry you

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
I know it's just a "standard" photo but every now and then I like to photograph something like that.
Especially when the weather changes so beautifully. The sun tries to take the lead what this day in Hamburg was not so easy for them.
What I like even more is the variety of moods in the photos. Therefore, I decided to also post such a photo. Bad weather or not it is exciting to develop such photos. I was able to take many photos here with such very different contrasts and moods. Anyway look what you might discover here so.

I assume this is a rooftop restaurant, but I don't know. I just liked the lights reflecting on the water tanks.. Maybe my NYC friends might know the name of it. Photo taken at 28th and 6th.

As many of you know Polaroid film has gotten very expensive. And the Polaroid55 is the worst! I have a box of 10 year old film and have been using it regardless. this is one. The negative is so washed out you can hardly believe it, but I'm actually getting good images from them. (My color polaroid film from ten years ago is completely gone. Utterly.)
The mouse and the lion, you know the mouse helped the lion with the paw, and the lion gives the mouse a ride far away. At least that is my story and I am sticking to it.
As you know it’s rare for me to post a black and white photo as I usually find myself thinking that the colour version is so much prettier. Then there’s the other reason- can’t possibly post that B&W version as there’s so many of the you post far superior monochrome images. But sometimes it’s just worth trying at least I suppose, so this is a B&W image of the bluebells that I posted a few weeks ago. I did find it quite interesting though that the blue turned white.
Thanks for stopping

This is a movie about a woman and a fish
This is a movie about the dramatic relationship between woman and fish.
Woman stands between life and death
Woman thinks
horse thinks
sheep think
cow thinks
dog thinks
fish don't think
Pisces silent, expressionless
Fish don't think, because fish knows everything
fish knows everything
Sundogs, also know as parhelia, are caused by the atmospheric reflection of sunlight by plate-shaped hexagonal ice crystals. They are often seen as part of a 22 degree halo.
This one caught my eye on the way home from work. The color was so vivid, I had to pull over and take a shot. Too bad the iPhone did not pick up the color as well as my eyes.

"Don't know how else to say it
I don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I want to get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?"

I know how "tails" is spelled differently but I needed a play on words. Amazing how the horse as well as the fence got frosted.
Happy Fence Friday!!
Pulling me further...
Further than I've been before.
Making me stronger.
Shaking me right to the core.
I don't know what's in the stars.
Never heard it from above, the world isn't ours.
But I know what's in my heart..
If you ain't mine I'll be torn apart.
I don't know who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone...
So I'm gonna love you now, like it's all I have.
I know it'll kill me when it's over.
I don't wanna think about it, I want you to love me now.
“Why do we fall?
Why must we flow?”,
I asked.
She said,
in her lilting chortle’s stead
“I know. Yeah, I know.”

Ya'll know it's Flyday! How could I not post one? This is a female Dance fly, differentiated from the male by the dark band between the eyes. The name Dance fly comes from their erratic movements while in flight. Their courtship involves the male presenting a dead fly to the female, and mating does not take place until the female accepts and eats it. Usually found in moist areas, they feed on smaller insects. They are also referred to as Dagger flies, because of that sharp piercing mouthpart, seen here below it's bright red eyes. 2-image handheld stack.

I know that many of my Flickr friends are also music fans or even skilled in music!!! Finally I get the chance to take close-up shots of the guitar performer. But now here's the problem: what is your favorite music or songs for it? When it comes to guitar, you must have your top one artist and best music in your mind. Mine is always Dan Fogelberg's Leader of the Band. And I really appreciate Matthewsc21, who is a huge fan of The Smiths, for his awesome recommendation:
