Lean on me
when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on.

Hello There!
I was just about to leave the boardwalk and thought I saw something move in the water. It turned out to be a duckweed-covered Painted Turtle who quickly made its way onto shore and immediately lay its head on the other turtle. It was a neat moment to observe, especially because I don't have much experience with turtles.

Thanks a million for stopping by and for your comments. I do love hearing from you! Have a fantastic day and week ahead!

The dead pine tree on the right had snapped almost at ground level but had fallen only a metre or so before it came to rest against the larger, living one on the left. Seen on Hampstead Heath.
Taken at 04:17am last July it was my opening photo of that morning.The opposing lean of the rock column and rig crane attracted me to this composition. A f11 aperture at 74mm helped to keep the two subjects in relative sharp focus and compress the distance between them. Although the colours of the rig contrasted with the blue hour I was never satisfied with the colours from the camera and switched to black and white which still did not do it for me. So I splashed around in LR profiles and decide this desaturated look was what I was after, I think.
OK, I know this is not a great photo, but it has a story. I went to buy some hay from someone who was recommended by a friend. They live way out in the county. When I got there, I was amazed at all the old stuff they had on their farm. I was met by the 99 year old woman who's grandfather had homesteaded the land in 1843. I asked permission to take pictures. She made me promise not tell anyone where it was because she was ashamed of all that junk. Her grandson took me to a barn that was leaning badly. He told me that there would be something in there that would interest me, but don't lean aganst anything 'cause the whole thing might fall. It was very dark in there.
This is what I found.
This one goes out to you, my dear Flickr friends, for all your nice words, presence and ongoing support - Thank you so much!!
So... lean back... who wants some coffee, some tea, some cookies? :-))
Well we finally got a bit of snow. Yesterday we got 1/2" of ice and then by the evening it changed over to snow. We ended up with about 3". I took my camera for a walk around our property this morning. I got a few nice shots :). Thanks for taking a look!
Foxes in the climate where I live, look very thin and lean in their summer coats. We have very extreme cold winters and hot summers. This same fox looks twice this size with his full winter coat.

History: Designed and built by Scarano Boat Inc. in Albany, N.Y., the America 2.0 had big shoes to fill. Its 1995 predecessor, the 139-foot America (now berthed in Santa Barbara) won the hearts and minds of many islanders on and off the docks. That ship replicated the original America, a 101-foot sailing vessel that won an 1851 race against 15 yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron in what would become known forever as the "America's Cup" in honor of that ship. The 1851 original America ended up a blockade-runner for the Confederacy and after the Yankees seized her, became a blockade-buster for the federals. She remained government property until falling victim to a shed collapse in 1945, and with the shed was scrapped and burned. A 170 year history with two replicas built.
America 2.0 (105 feet) replaced the 1995 replica schooner America (139 feet). The '95 replica is now berthed in Santa Barbara, California
The America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore and many other tall ships are credited with helping
to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years to come

Listen and enjoy: Lean on Me - Bill Withers
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me (call me)
If you need a friend (call me) call me uh huh (call me) if you need a friend (call me)
If you ever need a friend (call me)
Call me (call me) call me (call me) call me
(Call me) call me (call me) if you need a friend
(Call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me)

A pole leaning badly, not sure any birds would want to live here.

A quick visit to Talacre whilst visiting family this week in Manchester. It's somewhere i'd been looking at capturing for some time but not had the chance. An easy walk to the beach from the car I had about 15 mins of light before the end of the day. I took a variety of shots from different angles but settled on this composition for a long exposure. 180 sec with some nice cloud movement and smoothing out the ripples in the water leading up to the lighthouse.
