Knowing the signalling protocols of this area, the red lights say it all. No point waiting for a train here, there's nothing coming! Nice atmospheric morning though.

For Macro Monday - Rust
I remembered to take the macro lens with me to Sneydes Rd. on Saturday knowing there is lots of rusty fencing around the paddock.
Happy Macro Monday!
from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen. :-)

...Wisdom is Knowing When to Say It
It was a delight watching this fledgling Burrowing Owl as he climbed out of the underground burrow and investigated the surrounding area.
The Burrowing Owl is a small, long-legged owl found throughout open landscapes of North and South America.
Burrowing owls can be found in grasslands, rangelands, agricultural areas, deserts, or any other open dry area with low vegetation. They nest and roost in burrows, such as those excavated by prairie dogs.
They are small, sandy colored owls with bright-yellow eyes. They live underground in burrows they’ve dug themselves or taken over from a prairie dog, ground squirrel, or tortoise.
They live in grasslands, deserts, and other open habitats, where they hunt mainly insects and rodents.
Before laying eggs, Burrowing Owls carpet the entrances to their homes with animal dung, which attracts dung beetles and other insects that the owls then catch and eat. They may also collect bottle caps, metal foil, cigarette butts, paper scraps, and other bits of trash at the entrance, possibly signifying that the burrow is occupied.
Burrowing Owls have a higher tolerance for carbon dioxide than other birds—an adaptation found in other burrowing animals, which spend long periods underground, where the gas can accumulate to higher levels than found above ground.
Unlike most owls in which the female is larger than the male, the sexes of the Burrowing Owl are the same size.
Burrowing Owls often stow extra food to ensure an adequate supply during incubation and brooding. When food is plentiful, the birds' underground larders can reach prodigious sizes.
The oldest known Burrowing Owl was at least 9 years, 11 months old when it was sighted in California in 2014.

Such an awesome tune....
As you know, I had work done at home
While putting stuff back, and throwing out tons ;) I came across this small brown package
Unopened, addressed to me, from a couple years ago, from my son :))
I open it, and voila....two small lenses for my phone :D
Guess I had asked, and he got them for me, but they got lost somehow?!
Gee...I don't know :(
So I took them out and went for my early morning walk today
This is taken with the macro part of the lens
The things you find when you're not looking LOL
Have a lovely day, sweet friends
And, as always, thank you
Love

Without knowing it, he had constructed a gigantic vertical zoo, its hundreds of cages stacked above each other. All the events of the past few months made sense if one realised that these brilliant and exotic creatures had learned to open the doors.

Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery
Founded in 1917, Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery provided fresh trout to the Sierra Nevada region for nearly a century.
As one of the first-ever fish hatcheries, Mt. Whitney is a representation of the region’s rich culture and history.
Though the hatchery is no longer used to hatch fish, the staff organize tours, fish feeding, and wildlife interpretation exhibits.
Inspired by the surrounding mountains, the hatchery was built to last. Construction started in late March of 1916 with the goal of completing the project in the spring of 1917. With the help of local builders, Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery opened its doors in 1917.
From day one, the hatchery boasted unmatched quality and quantity. The first trout that were hatched were from eggs collected at Rae Lakes. After collection, these eggs were transported from the collecting station to the hatchery via mule train.
During the spawning season of 1918, the hatchery staff collected golden trout eggs from Cottonwood Lakes for the first time. As the official state fish of California, Golden Trout is an impressive but rare sight. The hatchery’s golden trout hatching program was the sole source of this fish throughout the Sierra Nevada.
One final piece of information: the Hatchery was named for Mount Whitney, which is located a few miles to the south. Mount Whitney is the highest mountain in the contiguous United States... with an elevation of 14,505 feet (4,421 m). Mount Whitney is only 84.6 miles (136.2 km) northwest of North America's lowest point, Badwater Basin in Death Valley National Park, at 282 ft. (86 m) below sea level.

Knowing that I was shipping my camera off today to be cleaned and calibrated, I had to get out yesterday.
Being "camera-less" for the next few weeks brings about an uneasy feeling of dread...or maybe it's just the holidays!
but by becoming less certain :-)

Knowing a bit more about photography makes it easier to understand how and why some oil paintings, say the impressionist, abstract or even watercolour paintings, came into being.

Knowing I'd promised my mum a good going over her garden while visiting the other weekend, the only chance I'd get for a walk before heading home would be an early one!
With the sun just risen I headed for a route I used as a child and in those days it seemed a right excursion out of the village, in my 'grown up' state Google maps informed me I'd walk there in 16 minutes 🙈
Knowing a piece of this wonderful country...its historical heritage, its culture, cuisine and mix of many people...I thank Portugal for the reception (December 2019).
I loaded memory cards with about 700 photos, but I will try during this period to download the ones that I liked the most, I hope you enjoy them.

Not knowing when the next wave is going to hit you, perhaps is your best chance to stay positive. The only way to survive is battling back even if you are feeling down.
Shooting with a GoPro Hero is a totally strange experience for me. Being an optical view finder guy, I have never gotten used to compose a shot with electronic view finders on my mobile phone, or even my Powershot S100. Now, imagine shooting in front of your subjects without using your hand, and instead, strapping and composing the camera with your head. You only get to see the results after pulling still frames out of a long video recording. This is weird and totally out of my comfort zone, but at the same time I feel this as another challenge to get something unique and fun.
Knowing when to walk away is wisdom,
Being able to is courage,
Walking away with your head held high is dignity....
Continuing with my Positive Flags of the Nations project.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Began the day trying to remove old photos from my bloated hard-drive. Didn’t get very far into the task before coming upon this shot from a 2009 trip to Greece. Figuring out which images to keep or delete shouldn’t be as difficult as figuring out the meaning of life… but I’m stumped 😊

The Parthenon:
The Parthenon is a temple on the Athenian Acropolis, dedicated to the goddess Athena. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of classical Greek art, and is considered an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, democracy, and Western civilization.
The Parthenon dominates the hill of the Acropolis at Athens. It was built in the mid-5th century. The temple is generally considered to be the culmination of the development of the Doric order, the simplest of the three Classical Greek architectural orders.

I get lost in your eyes
And I feel my spirits rise
And soar like the wind
Oh is it love that I am in?
I get weak in a glance
Isn’t this what’s called romance?
And now I know
‘Cause when I’m lost, I can’t let go
I don’t mind not knowing what I’m headed for
You can take me to the skies
It’s like being lost in heaven
When I’m lost in your eyes
I just fell, don’t know why
Something’s there, we can’t deny
And when I first knew
Was when I first looked at you
And if I can’t find my way
…find my way
If salvation seems worlds away
Oh, I’ll be found
When I am lost in your eyes...
