Into the distance a ribbon of black

Stretched to the point of no turning back

A flight of fancy on a windswept field

Standing alone my senses reeled

A fatal attraction holding me fast how

Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue tied and twisted Just an earth bound misfit I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings

Unheeded warnings I thought I thought of everything

No navigator to guide my way home

Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's learning to fly

Condition grounded but determined to try

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

...e il mio Maestro m'insegnò com'è difficile trovare l'alba dentro l'imbrunire... ;)))

Foo Fighters - There is Nothing Left to Lose (1999)

The two drug dealers who appear at the beginning of this video clip of Foo Fighters, trying to camouflage drugs on the plane, are Jack Black and Kyle Gass, two musicians who make up the rock group Tenacious D. This song will never be the best song of the rock history, even if the lyrics say so. Nor will they be remembered as one of the best rock bands. But something if they have both: they are two very funny guys. And his music videos and concerts, more. A good group. And "Tribute" a fun video clip.

American Beauty (final scene). Director: Sam Mendes

A film to think and reflect on. A highly recommended film.

Y entonces fluye a través de mi como la lluvia. Y no siento otra cosa que gratitud por cada instante de mi estúpida e insignicante vida.

No tienen ni idea de lo que le hablo, seguro. Pero no se preocupen... algún día la tendrán.

"Life fits in a 'click', in the blink of an eye, in any flake of oatmeal. It is about distinguishing what is worth from what is not"

...Squeeze every second of your life. Learn to fly, even if only as a simple plastic bag blown by the wind blowing in the streets. Otherwise, you will have flown through life... without having understood your own life.

PS: There is one thing I don't like about this photo... the use of pesticides. I prefer organic, ecological and sustainable crops. Pesticides kill insects. If the insects die, the birds have no food. And every day that passes, there are fewer birds... simply because there are no insects. The only species that is a plague on Earth... is humans.

PS: And as explained in ecology and ecosystems or the same words of the best ecologist, oceanographer and limnologist, Ramón Margalef... no plague can survive. Sooner or later... all the plagues, they finish and they are extinguished.

¿Que pasó aquí? La mariposa ha perdido sus alas. el aire es demasiado denso para respirar y hay algo en el agua potable.

Sale el sol y estás solo. Tu sentido de propósito se deshace. El tráfico vuelve al laberinto de la 101 y las noticias del cielo, se ven mejor por hoy, en todos los sentidos, pero no para ti, ciudadano del mundo. No es seguro.

Todos los pájaros amarillos están durmiendo porque el aire no es apto para respirar. No es seguro.

Happy summer.

Same place and time as in the previous photo but the landscape is seasoned with ICM swing. Finland. ICM. Abstract.

The mother lion (Pantera leo) brought her cubs back to the watering hole that she had visited earlier in the day. The little ones will hopefully learn how to be successful lions from her. Londolozi Game Reserve, Sabi Sands, South Africa. Conservation status: Vulnerable

Kite flying on the beach at Merimbula NSW

Elder sister teaching young sister how to make pirouettes-

While I was working from home, a baby pigeon was flying for the first time and landed in front of my window. I’m not that fond of pigeons to be honest, but witnessing this fragile creature discovering the big wide world for the first time really made my day ☺️

I have not seen Rama Bear around anywhere in a long time. I am going on a hunt for him. maybe he is lost in this house somewhere. Oh no.

This is an old shot

Why do we publish our work on Flickr? Isn't it because we like it, even are proud of it? Just a thought....

Featured Favorite:

With new each image I will mention one of my very favorite Flicker photographers. These are not in any order except for chronologically - how could one possibly rank such different artists?

Thank you

Continuing to learn something new whether I think I'll use it or not. Study engages my mind during these cringeworthy days.

While some photographers offer luminosity masks to purchase, the steps are easy enough to learn by watching youtube videos.

For this simple dewy, foggy belly shot in August, I used luminosity seven masks and curves to tweak highlights, watching the histogram carefully.

Many thanks for looking!

Father and son fishing

First you need a run in the water, then you need to break away from it and pick up your feet.

Thank you all for visits, favs and comments! It's greatly appreciated.

First week or so they are a little clumsy ...doesn't take them long to fly like the F-22 Raptor !

Thank you very much for your kind comments, favorites and looking

Hopefully this is still recognisable as a paper plane as after a few retakes it kinda lost its shape!

Struggled to find any natural wings this week as the weather has not been kind to insects with them!

… this very young buck gets a bit of practice from his elder.

Watch it properly @ Gallery Minimal

Learning to fish

I enjoy watching young birds such as these juvenile Black-crowned Night-herons learning necessary life skills. In this case the one on the left needs to improve its rock hopping before it can perfect its fishing skills.

Immature Red-tailed hawk entered territory nest of Bald Eagles

The hawk was able to fly away while I was watching (I enlarged the photos) and after that I didn't see any blood on its body, after the Bald eagle's claws, anything could have happened.

This holiday special edition for my Flickr friends ,Happy Halloween .

Autumn leaves just before takeoff

Eine Aufnahme aus der "MALL OF BERLIN" am Potsdamer Platz. Für mich immer faszinierend sind Fotos aus der Vogelperspektive .

But the claws are out. Not good☺

Etta and I doing some research.

As promised! I used a tutorial by Cassandra Middles, and this is what I came up with!

My blog post can be seen here sohawtsl.wordpress.com/2019/02/26/some-things-you-cant-see/

And the link to her tutorial is in the description.

Let me know what you think.

PROJECT: I'm going back to favorite photo locations over the past years. I will process and post at least l shot from that location. SVALBARD, NORWAY: Here 2 large polar bear cubs play fight. The bloody face comes from prior feeding on the remains of a Bearded Seal kill nearby.
