What I awoke to this morning after an unexpected overnight delivery. Not sure why I was surprised since it will be a good month before winter even thinks about loosening its grip. Maybe it's all those flower photos you all keep relentlessly posting. And while I may not have "skipped the light fandango" nor "turned cartwheels 'cross the floor" (and couldn't if I wanted to), it's been a mild winter and I certainly can't complain...especially since the sky is now clearing and temps are again headed up to well above normal.
This Blue Jay was not happy to find that these peanuts were iced in and that it wasn't going to be a quick grab 'n go. Even though pecking the peanuts open on the spot was an option, these birds always take their food to the nearest tree to eat. After much ice chipping and determination, the Blue Jay was able to loosen up the peanuts and take them away to eat. Photographed through my sunroom glass door. Happy Wing Wednesday!
It's freezing cold here in Minnesota this week, -14°F (-26C) this morning and up to 10" of snow with blizzard conditions coming right before Christmas. I'm hoping my out-of-town family will still be able to fly in. Happy Holidays to all my Flickr friends!!! 🎄🎅⛄

Part of the series on the garden workers... His name is Astolfo, and he was really nervous at first that I was taking photos... but loosened up after a while. This is actually a crop from a vertical photo... so you can imagine the amount of detail this lens gives! Like it more every day...
European Buzzard [Buteo buteo]
This youngster has been flying around my hill with his mum, for the past few weeks. They call to each other as, I assume, she is showing him how to hunt.
Here, he was sitting on a telegraph post, continually calling for his mum, who was very conspicuous in her absence. Maybe she had gone hunting by herself - or maybe she thought the time had come to loosen the apron strings and let junior get on with it by himself. Such a sad, sad sight. He was was still there, hours later, as I was returning home.
Poor wee soul!

Matt Nathanson - Come On Get Higher
I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
I miss the sound of your voice
Loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet
Perfect words that you said
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
I miss the pull of your heart
I taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils
And God, when you come on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Sing sha la la la
Sing sha la la la la
Ooh Ooh Ooh
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
It's all wrong, it's all wrong
It's all wrong, it's so right
So come on, get higher
So come on and get higher
'Cause everything works, love
Everything works in your arms
On this fine weather day we did an evening hike on North Cape Hiking Trail, which lies on the windswept northwest tip of Prince Edward Island (PEI), soaking in the scenery before the arrival of a heavy rain and wind storm, set in for the following day.
The trail follows the cliff, offering an endless seascape of the Gulf of St. Lawrence; at certain spots, the beach can be accessible at low tide.
Enormous windmills dotted the landscape; I always love the sight of these large and impressive giants!
I am well aware of the danger they pose to birds and bat's, thankfully, so are the wind farms developers. According to a study from the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA), painting one out of four white wind turbine blades black reduces the number of birds killed by the blades by 72%. In the area of where bats are known to exist, raising the speed at which the turbines begin to spin and exploring the development of ultrasonic deterrents to warn bats away are being undertaken. Let's hope something will be done SOON to safe these amazing creatures! 🙏
Oh yeah, it's very windy up there, so best not to walk too close to the cliff, not to mention the soil could get loosened. (Only a certain sections have fenced.)
Thank you for your visit , please stay safe and healthy! 🌷🌻

Nearly everybody's favorite part of the Old Town, this is where there are lots of streetside pubs, cafés and restaurants. And there's some night life here again, too, now that Covid-19 restrictions have been loosened a bit. Lens: Sigma 12-24mm for A mount. [SNY08376_lr_2000]
Thank you all for the clicks, comments & faves.
The Wasserkuppe (Wasser = Water, Kuppe = crest) is a plateau formation in the low mountains of the Rhön. It is 950m above sea level and located in the state of Hesse. It is a hot spot for gliders and has been since 1911, when students of the Technical University of Darmstadt began with the sport. In 1922, a gliding school was established there. After WWII, the US built a radar air surveillance base but in the 1950s, the restrictions of German aviation was loosened and the Wasserkuppe then returned to be used for paragliding as well as snow-gliding. Wasserkuppe is very popular among tourists, so honestly, I avoid going there. 😉
Many heartfelt thanks for your visit, fave and (if you have the time) comment.
Poor little bug caught as prey under the foot while resting on rocks. But manage to loosen and flew away. Human do have critical moment at times, but if can persist to the very last moment might be able to seek a glimpse of light ahead
The bed of flowers Loosens amain, The beauteous snowdrops Droop o'er the plain.
The crocus opens Its glowing bud, Like emeralds others, Others, like blood.
With saucy gesture Primroses flare, And roguish violets, Hidden with care; And whatsoever There stirs and strives, The Spring's contented, If works and thrives.

"The metal doors slide open as he walks into the smoke-filled room, green neon particles oozing from the walls and floor into the air. He walks in as he feels the beat loosening him up. The problems of life remain on the outside, beyond the metal doors as he moves his way to the dance floor. He mixes in with the crowd of young adults as he joins them in escapism."

Song by: The Eagles
Well, I'm a-running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me
Two that wanna stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy
Well, I'm a-standing on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord
In a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby
Don't say "Maybe"
I gotta know
If your sweet love
Is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up, I'm climbin' in
So take it easy
Well, I'm running down the road
Trying to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover
Who won't blow my cover
She's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
Come on, baby
Don't say "Maybe"

Things are starting to loosen up here in So. Cal. So I ventured out to one my favorite parks. It felt good to be with nature once again.
I went for a swim on Saturday afternoon with my daughters Rebecca and Jennifer, as a loosener before Rebecca ran the Cardiff Half Marathon. There were big waves, fantastic clouds and a warm sun, what could be better. Sweet Worlds of Angels is by The Violent Femmes.
The embroidered flower is 2 inches in size and the petals and three knots in the middle are made of silk ribbons. (I loosened one of the knots a bit so you could see that it was a knot.)

Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside, there was somethin' going on
You do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got somethin' goin' on
Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication
All this love we feel
Needs no conversation
We ride it together, ah-ah
Makin' love with each other, ah-ah
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah
I can't live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothin' if you got no one
And you did walk in tonight
Slowly loosen' sight of the real thing
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing
No more will you cry
Baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one, in love forever
We can ride it together, ah-ah
Makin' love with each other, ah-ah
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah
Sail away
Oh, come sail away with me
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah

How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah

Your country
Is studded with mountains,
Seychelles lad.
With tough granite
With crude gravel
And with coral, your country.
Your country
Wears a belt
Of white beaches loosening in the tides.

"When i close my eyes, im climbing in the dark, trying to not fall apart. Sometimes i get so high that falling is the only out I see."
"Sometimes it's like an ocean and it gets too deep..."
A point where life stops. Time continues but you feel trapped in something where you cannot go out. Sadness comes and invades lives, so much that the only solution to end that is to do something drastic.
There are days when you feel good and again it pulls you down. It is a game of pulling and loosening. Apart from all the people, you see the world follow the normal course and you are still trapped. Tired of living, tired of suffering, of feeling useless.
Please be kind to everyone, you don't know what they are living.
Insipired in a point of my life and in this song
This is a part of the depression, the moment when you try to get over it and be free.

Soon to be ice world as 5F(-15C) temps overnight finally created the first ice formation along the shores of the lake, only to vanish as sun and a brisk southerly wind loosened its grip. Nevertheless, inevitability generally overcomes persistence..
[Large provides greater detail...but you knew that...;-)]
A gnarled tree stood upon a field
and watched deer running over hedge
and ditch into the sunset
when suddenly a sapling
came stumbling through the soil.
Halting at the foot of the tree,
the young, bushy thing
gasped with no breath:
"Help! Please help! They cut down my friend!"
Upon hearing this dreadful news,
the gnarled tree threw his branches up
toward the sky and yelled: "Why?!
We must march to make them stop!
This carnage needs to end!"
With fear and anger in his trunk
he loosened his roots
and packed his leaves
and off they went over the fields.
And on their quest the two were joined
by other trees who followed them
along the track with clangor,
till, at dawn, they came upon
the woodsman at his work.
The tree stepped forth and cried out loud:
"Stop killing my kin!
We want to live!
Don't cut us down till we're no more!"
The woodsman looked up from his work
and eyed the tree from crown to root
before he shrugged his shoulders.
"Ain't my idea to fell you,"
he growled with axe in hand.
"The farmer says, you're in his way."
He tightened his grip
around the haft.
Down came the axe: chop-chop, chop-chop.

"In reality, every reader is, while he is reading, the reader of his own self. The writer’s work is merely a kind of optical instrument which he offers the reader to enable him to discern what, without this book, he would perhaps never have perceived in himself."
"The bonds between ourselves and another person exist only in our minds. Memory as it grows fainter loosens them, and notwithstanding the illusion by which we want to be duped and with which, out of love, friendship, politeness, deference, duty, we dupe other people, we exist alone. Man is the creature who cannot escape from himself, who knows other people only in himself, and when he asserts the contrary, he is lying."

Dream Hotel NYC - 2011 - Architect: Frank Fusaro of Handel Architects
"11-story hotel originally completed in 1966. Designed by Albert Ledner, who also designed the building next door for the National Maritime Union, it was built as an annex for the organization's headquarters building. Both buildings were later converted to the Covenant House runaway shelter from 1987 until 1994, when they were sold to the Chinese government and used as a service center for Chinese Study Fellows.
In 2011, this building was gutted and redesigned with a new facade by Frank Fusaro of Handel Architects. Opened as the Dream Downtown Hotel, it has 316 rooms behind its cheese grater facade. The sloping face on 17th Street is clad in stainless steel tiles. New porthole windows were added, some of the same dimension as the original and some half the size, loosening the rigid grid of the previous design. The tiles reflect the sky, sun, and moon, and when the light hits the façade perfectly, the stainless steel disintegrates and the circular windows appear to float like bubbles.
The 16th Street side of the building, previously a blank façade when the building served as an annex, is covered with a scrim of perforated stainless steel punched with large holes. All regularly spaced, as opposed to the more random pattern on the north facade, the holes here enclose balconies fronted by nearly invisible glass balustrades. The outer screen peels up at the ground level to form the hotel canopy and reveal the hotel entrance. The pool, suspended over the Marble Lane restaurant, has a transparent acrylic bottom."

Treetops Adventure is a series of platforms and suspension bridges attached to eight 30 ton, 250 year old Douglas-firs. Originally built in 2004, the innovative and award-winning Treetops Adventure was designed to accommodate the continuous growth of the trees. The viewing platforms are attached to an innovative tree collar system that is adjustable and moveable and has no nails or bolts penetrating into the Douglas-firs. It is unlike any canopy walk in the world. Over the past 10 years the trees have grown in circumference requiring that the friction collars be loosened and moved up in order to maintain the excellent health of these majestic trees.

Like Rain it sounded till it curved
And then I knew 'twas Wind --
It walked as wet as any Wave
But swept as dry as sand --
When it had pushed itself away
To some remotest Plain
A coming as of Hosts was heard
It filled the Wells, it pleased the Pools
It warbled in the Road --
It pulled the spigot from the Hills
And let the Floods abroad --
It loosened acres, lifted seas
The sites of Centres stirred
Then like Elijah rode away
Upon a Wheel of Cloud.

You mean a lot to me
You've got a heart of gold
Everything falls apart
Leaves you in the cold
Purpose is scaring me
What if I can't see mine
Love on the filthy streets is so divine
You are the color my dear
You are the color my dear
You mean a lot to me
You've got a heart of gold
Once I have found the words
I'll loosen my hold
You are the color my dear
Fill your life with something else baby
Fill your life with something else baby

"I saw you this morning
You were moving so fast
Can't seem to loosen my grip
On the past
And I miss you so much
There's no one in sight
And we're still making love
In my secret life"
It's a year since I started to feel a bit better after being hit hard with Covid and almost a year to the day since my sister died from Covid. So much has happened since then - some bad but mostly very good including of course upping sticks and moving to France to start a new life. Stay safe. Keep well. Most of all, be happy. 😊

The yard behind Tindall Cottage is used to grow flax. The seeds used are a heritage variety known as Maryland which produces the long stems needed for linen production. The seeds are planted in spring once the frosts have finished. The flax is harvested approximately 100 days later once the flowers stop forming each day, this is when the stems are at their strongest. The crop is gently pulled out of the ground as the roots are very close to the surface. The flax is then tied up into bundles known as stooks to allow the chlorophyll to die off and the stems turn yellow. The dried stooks are then soaked with water until the inner plith starts to loosen against the outside stem fibres. The crop is then dried once more and then it is ready to be used and processed into linen.
At the table in front of the house there is a demonstration of how to process flax. You can volunteer to have a go at it. Flax has been replaced by cotton and newer synthetic materials over the ages.
The local great-horned owl uses its yoga routine to get its muscles loosened up prior to departure from the neighbor's roof. The goddess squat followed the mountain pose (todasana), with each wing separately stretched. This owl's regular appearance has pleased the local blue jays and crows, who delight in harassing it, but the prairie dogs are not so excited.
