You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.
-Paulo Coelho (b1947)

Every time I go to this place, it looks different. And you can see the difference. This is the same place as yesterday's photo. The water flow has changed the whole look of the place. Maybe, if there was this flow all through the year, we probably would not pay attention to the rocks there! It's just a matter of paying attention. How true!

from 12/3…..We just had a very low helicopter fly over that woke her up from a sound sleep. Lots of conjecture all morning on FB about why sets of 3 are flying over. We are the next town over from where the Patriots play their home football games.
Updated…. The Army Navy game was played in Foxboro and for days leading up to it the helicopters were a presence.

I've been looking for a new butterfly to show up here but without much luck.
Yesterday, we got home from working in the woods and my work shoes were soaked so I put them out in the sun to dry. When I went back to get them later, this Viceroy butterfly had fallen in love with them. It walked all over them, fluttered in the air and landed on a another part, investigated that, flew away, came back. Even after I took the shoes in the house, it came back again and again looking for them.
Believe me, their's a huge difference between the smell of my two year old work shoes and a flower.
We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.

Sorry, have been working today and had very little time for flickring .. Will get to my contacts as soon as I can!!
:~)
This was a miracle shot on a number of levels but best of all you can see Mercury both outlined against the Sun and the atmosphere lit round Mercury clear of the Sun as well.
Today's transit of Mercury is the last until 2032 and realistically my likely last chance at capturing the start of a Mercury transit (I missed the last one by three minutes!).
Normally I have a very stable set up for solar observations but this transit happened at an angle and time when I couldn't use my permanent kit. Instead I was using lightweight mobile kit which I had used for the 2016 transit. For whatever reason everything in sight went wrong although I'd allowed a full two hours to get everything set. I found myself only minutes away from the start with an unbalanced 70mm refractor that kept slipping on the mount foot, a ball mount that was struggling to take the weight and a tracking mount that wouldn't engage gear without slipping on the clutch, not to mention gusts of wind rocking the kit and scudding cloud blotting out the Sun at regular intervals.
In the end I was manually correcting alignment errors and supporting the scope while trying to find the Sun and set up the camera. Two minutes before the start of transit I found the Sun only for some cloud to obscure it, but by sheer luck (no skill involved!) the cloud cleared and I was holding it steadily enough and long enough in focus to take a few brief sequences before I lost it all again. This is probably the best capture from those short image sequences.
This is a cropped image of the best 50% of 1200 frames at 100fps. Taken just after first contact at around 12:36:40-50
A relieved Peter!

ZWOASI174MM mono CMOS camera, Quark Chromosphere, 70mm refractor, iOptron lightweight mount.

sometimes we pray for miracle to happen , but we should not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.
Happy caturday— Miracle is always on the way to a different location to go to sleep!! She’s not a lap cat but is now allowing me to scritch her head while she’s on her way to her dish or to take up her position as guardian of the kitchen. She’s our Dutch rescue cat and very skitterish and shy.
Contenders for Macro Monday theme: One Word
This one is one of my favourite perfumes, it's very pale pink so I placed it on a piece of pink material to make it more vibrant. Also would have worked for last weeks theme too.
Many thanks for all your comments and favourites, I always appreciate them!
in the bar no-one can understand how the metoer suddenly swerved left following a bright flash of blue light and missed them completely, they are happy it happened though, a christmas miracle they think
the happy caturday theme for this week is "secret garden" and since both of our cats are indoor ones, i took a picture of miracle in her new favorite place. she/they came from the netherlands in july, so she's still adapting to life in the US with a cat in residence who doesn't always cotton to her. so she's found a place where the sun comes in and it's out of the way of the LBC :)
the narrative said, "Please, show us a photo or two of your cats in one of these moments on their own in a very special place."
It's the Langdales: Langdale Fell, Great Langdale Valley and a miracle of sky, sun and season all wrapped up from a point on The Band, above Stool End. Wikipedia states this: "Great Langdale is a valley in the Lake District National Park in the county of Cumbria, in the northwest of England. It is often simply referred to as Langdale, the epithet Great distinguishing it from the neighbouring valley of Little Langdale.
Langdale is a popular location for hikers, climbers, fell-runners and other outdoor enthusiasts, who are attracted by the many fells ringing the head of the valley. One of the best known features of Great Langdale are the Langdale Pikes, a group of peaks on the northern side of the dale. England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike, can be climbed by a route from Langdale. Langdale has spectacular views of, in particular, Dungeon Ghyll Force waterfall, Harrison Stickle and the Pike of Stickle.
Langdale was an important site during the Neolithic period for producing stone axes, and was also one of the centres of the Lakeland slate industry."
I guess it's all true. Personally, I climbed the Langdale Fells many times as a youngster on school trips and family holidays, trips with friends and, most recently, this holiday. Then and now it was a revelation to me to climb up to Harrison Stickle and see the entire glaciated landscape laid out below with all its features. Geography and Geology O & A levels aside, those early trips informed my subsequent appreciation of landscape and its awesome beauties. For me the Langdale Valley has a significance that is a part of the mosaic which has informed my aesthetic sense ever since. I know I state this a lot on flickr - but this, a long with all the other places I write this about - is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. And of course, I mean that it's one of the most special and beautiful places to me of all that I've seen. All the time on flickr, I see and admire images made by people who clearly love the places where they are. I'd love to be able to convey something of all this here in these photos of a valley in North West England......
this room is magical...
when it's in the morning, the sunlight break in from the window and shine the piano and the chair

BUT UNFORTUNATELY , i can't capture that...
i will try my best, to shoot this miracle room, again ..
A FLOWERS AND Natural's ALBUM is coming ..
For the love of life, for the love of beauty, and for the love of friends and families. Miracles do happen....
Emma, I am so very happy for you. I believe in miracles... and I dedicate this photo to you. I have also included a favorite song of mine, which Stella and myself usually sing to our three children at the karaoke :))
