" We know full well there's just time

So is it wrong to toss this line?

If your heart was full of love

Could you give it up?

'Cause what about, what about angels?

They will come, they will go, make us special

Don't give me up

Don't give

Me up

How unfair, it's just our love

Found something real that's out of touch

But if you'd searched the whole wide world

Would you dare to let it go?

'Cause what about, what about angels?

They will come, they will go, make us special

Don't give me up

Don't give

Me up

'Cause what about, what about angels?

They will come, they will go, make us special

It's not, about not about angels, angels ... "

... such a lot of things. And I do not know what this beautiful butterfly is - can anyone help? Taken at Stratford-upon-Avon Butterfly Farm and honestly, I didn't have to do anything to this except crop it and sharpen very, very slightly. I do recommend this wonderful place ... but only if you don't mind butterflies landing on you, or hot, steamy conditions. Because it is HOT and STEAMY !!

ID would be gratefully received. Thanks for all your faves, comments and invites. I've just got back from Brighton but didn't have a chance to take many photos of the place as I was visiting family and they come first, of course.

Thank you so much Chandana for the ID: It's "Dryas Iulia".

Chandana's photostream is wonderful - have a look here ! Chandana Witharanage

Autumn in NZ

Thanks for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it :-)

I am away till next week but will checking out your beautiful images from my ipad :-)

Late note - sorry to confuse anyone with the timing of year here - yes it was autumn in NZ and Aust in April - please check the date taken. You should know by now that there is rarely a semblence of order my posts lol

So.......One day when it was raining like crazy outside I decided I was going to try to catch myself a raindrop. Easier said than done, at least for me :-) After what seemed like shooting 100's of photo's I got this one, Yeah! I was satisfied. The crazy things I do for entertainment. I know my neighbors think I have totaly lost it. :-)

Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.

"Try Again Tomorrow"

(feat. Darling West)

If all you did today was, open your eyes

If all you did today was, turn off your phone

If all you had the energy to do today was, cry

Then you should know, that you're not alone

And it's okay to hide

If all you said today was, leave me alone

Push your friends away, and say 'go mind your own'

If all you did today was try to not feel anything, for anyone

Then you should know, you're not alone

'Cause it's okay, it's okay to feel lost, and feel tired

It's alright, you can turn off the light uninspired

And try again tomorrow, try again tomorrow

Alright

Just try again tomorrow, try again tomorrow

Alright

If all you did today was, try to survive

Force a smile and say that, everything's fine

If all you did was try to keep up appearances, a front for everyone

Then you should know, that you're not alone

Then it's okay, it's okay to feel lost, and feel tired

It's alright, you can turn off the light uninspired

And try again tomorrow, try again tomorrow

Alright

Just try again tomorrow, try again tomorrow

Alright

All I did today was, go back to bed

Pray for better days as I, laid down my head

💖 In advance I want to thank you all for your always kindness, support, beautiful awards, favs, and messages. Please Know that I see all of your comments and awards and I appreciate them so much as well as each on of you for taking the time.

Yes, I know...a lot of these lately. But every year at this explosive time, I go out and take tons of photos many of which never get uploaded because I try to present my stream as a calendar/diary of the days...and as we know the days fly by rather quickly. So as we are currently enduring dramatic thunderstorms, I thought I'd offer another admittedly from a week or so ago. And yes, this processed version is a bit dark yet again (as some of you have commented of late), so I have added the SOOC version in comments which may also please the purists amongst you.

"I know the year is dying,

Soon the summer will be dead.

I can trace it in the flying

Of the black crows overhead;

I can hear it in the rustle

Of the dead leaves as I pass,

And the south wind's plaintive sighing

Through the dry and withered grass.

Ah, 'tis then I love to wander,

Wander idly and alone,

Listening to the solemn music

Of sweet nature's undertone;

Wrapt in thoughts I cannot utter,

Dreams my tongue cannot express,

Dreams that match the autumn's sadness

In their longing tenderness."

- Mortimer Crane Brown, Autumn Dreams

"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."

- Robert Frost, "Ghost House"

You know who you are

I told you I was happy when I couldn't be worse

Told you to leave me alone and I couldn't want you now

And I regret it

You know who I am

I think you know deep down that I'm good but I make terrible choices

I make them for everyone else and forget what I wanted

And what I really wanted was you

Maybe it's been too long

But if you hear this song

Call me

My door's always open and my phone's always on

Call me

I wish I went out

I wish I called you back

I wish I had a hold of my issues

But I just wrote a song 'bout how much I miss ya

And I never told you

I know, I've uploaded some pictures of these stairs before. But I like them. really.

And it's been a while, so here are some new captures.

I don't really know what kind of bug this is. I thought it looked a little like a lighting bug.

Tomorrow Saturday, and I was going to the Oatmeal festival, but a friend called and wanted to come visit me and hang out in Wimberley. Tomorrow is market day here. Pretty much an over grown garage sale..:) But it's something to do and they have live music and food. Something to be said about that.

* I know for many people the big day falls on Saturday but for me personally the day of the winter solstice is much more important. It's the day the sun begins its slow return to the Northern hemisphere. In Britain it will occur at 15.58 GMT on Tuesday

Tomorrow many people will visit Stonehenge to celebrate the day. The stones have been in place for 5,000 years so they have seen a great many solstices . While much is not known about the reasons these stones were erected by the Neolithic people . Recent research does suggest that the way the stones are lined up suggests it was the winter solstice not the summer one that was the main ritual event . For these agrarian people to return of the sun and the promise of another years harvest would have been a very significant

Talking of the sun we could use some on the East Coast its been grey dark and damp for a week now with no sunshine forecast for the next seven days its so gloomy

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .

Hi everyone! Happy new week! I know I have been a bit quiet over the last several days, a bit of a blue mood that I am sure will lift in the days ahead. Thank you to my dear Flickr friends who constantly lift me up with love, true friendship and the sharing of the beauty in your lives. I know I am blessed.

I was feeling introspective (and of course, ever the introvert) so I perched here in my garden, feeling mopey and lackluster, when this guy bounded over for the sole purpose of making me smile and letting me know that he was always there when I needed a hug or a lick! Dogs are pure joy, pure love. I know I tend to be with them in a lot of the images I create, but they make me happy, and truth be told, I know that they make a lot of us happy. Furry gifts from above they are!

Sending happy light! I hope you all have a joy filled week! ♥

I know there is a shortage of insects, which is very worrying, but this only hit home to me after I returned from a 830 mile journey, and there was hardly an insect on the windscreen or bumper...Years ago had to stop after twenty miles to clean them off...I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to why this is happening.

As you know, with mirrorless cameras, getting flight shots is tough with a busy background. In the Z9 firmware update 4.0, they added a feature called Auto Capture. I tried it out yesterday. All you do is set up a tripod, enter some parameters for the shot you want, activate the program and walk away. The camera looks for any combination of settings and takes shots on its own. This one was set up for motion in a defined area of the frame. Lets say, it worked great.

You all know lupines in my garden already from the photos with the raindrops on their leafs. Off course I don't want to keep the beautiful flowers back from You. I did walk around them quite often already, trying to find a way to give them the right attention. Mostly I didn't had an idea and if I had one, I didn't like the result. Until the setting sun was helping me out a lot.

Ihr alle kennt die Lupinen in meinem Garten bereits von den Bildern mit den Regentropfen auf ihren Blättern. Natürlich möchte ich Euch auch die wunderschönen Blüten nicht vorenhalten. Schon oft bin ich um sie herum gelaufen und habe mir überlegt, wie ich sie wohl am besten in Szene setzen könnte. Meißt ist mir nicht viel eingefallen und was mir eingefallen ist hat mich nicht gefallen. Bis die untergehende Sonne, mir mächtig unter die Arme gegriffen hat.

♫ Van Halen - When It's Love ♫

Everybody's lookin' for somethin'

Somethin' to fill in the holes

We think a lot but don't talk much about it

'Til things get out of control

How do I know when it's love

I can't tell you but it lasts forever

How does it feel when it's love

It's just something you feel together

When it's love

You look at every face in a crowd

Some shine and some keep you guessin'

Waiting for someone to come into focus

Teach you your final love lesson

How do I know when it's love

I can't tell you but it lasts forever

How does it feel when it's love

It's just something you feel together

****The older you are, the more you know about Santa Claus," she said. "You are so big now, you know he can't be just one man, don't you? You know he is everywhere on Christmas Eve. He is in the Big Woods, and in Indian Territory, and far away in York State, and here. He comes down all the chimneys at the same time. You know that, don't you?"

"Yes, Ma," said Mary and Laura.

"Well," said Ma. "Then you see--"

"I guess he is like angels," Mary said, slowly. And Laura could see that, just as well as Mary could.

Then Ma told them something else about Santa Claus. He was everywhere, and besides that, he was all the time.

Whenever anyone was unselfish, that was Santa Claus.

Christmas Eve was the time when everybody was unselfish. On that one night, Santa Claus was everywhere, because everybody, all together, stopped being selfish and wanted other people to be happy. And in the morning you saw what that had done.

"If everybody wanted everybody else to be happy all the time, then would it be Christmas all the time?" Laura asked, and Ma said, "Yes, Laura.” ****

Oh, I know why you're chasing all the headlights

Oh, 'cause you're always tryna get ahead of life

Baby, when you fall

You know I'll be waiting on the other side

And I know it's cold

But if you stay then I could keep you warm at night

Don't be a fool for the city nights

I know it's cruel but it's only life

Baby, with you I could never lie

Don't go chasing all the headlights

Oh, I could feel the beating of your heart ache drum

Oh, don't know if I'm dreaming or if you have gone

Every time you go

Hits me like a bullet from a golden gun

Yeah, I know it's cold

But if you stay then I could give you all my love

Don't be a fool for the city nights

I know it's cruel but it's only life

Baby, with you I could never lie

So don't go chasing all the headlights

I walked across an empty land

I knew the pathway like the back of my hand

I felt the earth beneath my feet

Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone?

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree

I felt the branches of it looking at me

Is this the place we used to love?

Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go

Talk about it somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know?

Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

So tell me when you're gonna let me in

I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go

Talk about it somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go?

So why don't we go?

Ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah

This could be the end of everything

So why don't we go

Somewhere only we know?

Somewhere only we know?

Somewhere only we know?

Who knows when it will breathe it's last, yet it is but a different stage in life, after all !

This historical bridge know as Locust Bridge, also called the Linn County Bridge, the covered bridge is located about 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Laclede. At a length of 151 feet (46 m) with a width of 16 ft 8 in (5.08 m) it is the longest of the four remaining covered bridges in the state of Missouri. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. In August 1868, a contract was awarded by the Linn County Commissioners to Bishop & Eaton for a bridge across Locust Creek, with the cost not to exceed 5,500 dollars.[5] The structure is a Howe truss, constructed of white pine. Vertical iron rods tightly secure diagonal wooden beams to the bottom and top of the structure.[3] In addition to its utilitarian function, over time the bridge was a hangout for locals with some proclaiming their love for one another and their presence at the bridge with carvings along the bridge's internal walls. As a popular fishing and swimming spot, the bridge was visited by John J. Pershing; his boyhood home and the state park bearing his name are nearby. (Missouri Dept of Nat. Res.)

The water course that used to run under this bridge has migrated about a half mile to the west of this structure. It is a beautiful piece of historical architecture from an era of craftsmanship gone by.
