I suspect the crazily mild graduation into winter that we had here meant that the tree that usually goes brilliant red only went yellow and orange this year but I am loving the magenta leaf stalks!
You could say this was an independent love song
It's nothing like two lovers
What love meant to them
But that's not to say the love we had
Isn't big or that strong
I'm doing it a different way
I'll show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I'll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I'll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
No matter how you slice it, if a warrior kills a moth with a sword it is a misappropriation of resources.

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin' with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
I meant to post this picture a while back, during the Xmas period. This shot was done with Bia for her blogging venture, and while I was waiting for her to do her shots, I did some too, cause I got bored :)) Here is Bia's beautiful version of this shot, if you are curious to see:

So I thought to post my 'kawaii' version of it now, about a month after Xmas, just to surprise her :))
So ... Bia .... Surpriseee! Did you think that I forgot?
Big hugs my beautiful friend :)) ♥

Here we are on our morning walk today, my Flickr friends. I meant to take a pic of the path winding on, it was rather nice. But then, something even nicer occurred. I was photo-bombed by Marnie, so all attention had to be on her, of course... as it always is when we're out and usually when we're in too ! She's just like an American Eskimo dog, which is why they are recognized by the vast majority of the major kennel clubs, except the American Kennel Club due to their similarity to the white Pomeranian, American Eskimo Dog, Danish Spitz and Samoyed.
She's bigger than a Pomeranian - much bigger, but smaller than a Samoyed. She's a mother of 3 litters of puppies before we adopted her from her breeder over 5 years ago and she's been my faithful friend ever since.
Edited in Topaz and Picmonkey today, the day I took this portrait of her.
Thanks very much for taking the time to view my depiction of her.
What was meant to be a short break from social media quickly heralded the looks of yet another hiatus. In reality, my First Life (FL) was doing what my FL seems to do best: Entangling me in unforeseen circumstances. We've all been there before though, no?

I'm back! It will probably take me a minute to acclimate to Flickr and blogging again, but I hope that you have all been safe and wonderful. Let's catch up soon! ♥
The gate is meant to close the driveway to the farm and the gate is open :-) actually has nothing to do with the tulip field, but I thought it was nice to take a picture of it.
Thanks for all the nice comments, it is much appreciated

Due to the unseasonal rains this year for the past few months, the wetlands had developed a large area of reeds - almost 3-4 times bigger than what it was last year. That meant a lot more bitterns and Swamphens.
While I was walking on the road next to a large reed bed, looking for Yellow Bitterns, sighted 4-5 Cinnamon bitters nesting there. This bird flew right to nearby reeds and landed there briefly giving me this lovely shot and flew away to a far away larger reed area. Named after the rich cinnamon color of the body, this is a resident bird in India, but migratory for short distances within the country though. They are also found outside of India.
Its preferred habitat is reed beds on the edges of shallow lakes, wet rice / paddy fields, swamps and marshy areas surrounded by reeds.
Thank you so much for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

Your love, lifting me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it it up
Quench my desire
And I'll be at your side
Forevermore
You know your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting me (love keeps lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
Listen
Now, once I was downhearted
Disappointment was my closest friend
But then you came and it soon departed
And you know, he never
Showed his face again
That's why your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting me (love keeps lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher), alright
I'm so glad I finally found you
Yes, that one in a million, girl
And now with my loving arms around you
Honey, I can stand up
And face the world

This triumphal arch is situated at the northern end of Forum Romanum, Rome. It was built to celebrate emperor Septimius Severus victory in the Parthian wars (though in actually the hostilities between Rome and the Parthians continued on a few more years). The structure was built in 203 A.D. and celebrates the achievements of the emperor and his two sons Caracalla and Geta (the sons were meant to co-rule after the father's death, but Caracalla had his brother murdered and his name and picture was removed from this arch - and all other public monuments).

BLOOD OF EDEN – PETER GABRIEL & SINEAD O'CONNOR
... And when you left the fields of yellow
faded in the winds of time
the golden ears of corn bowed down
finally beyond all reason or rhyme
But now my heart has risen up
the fields are red adorned with flowers
the bluest mountains reach towards the heavens
the promise of Spring is surely ours
I thought there would never be anyone else
to replace you in my field of dreams
but gentle words flow like a river
and settle within me or so it seems
I want to believe in the everafter
when our souls will meet again
but for now I must seek the quantum of solace
in the absence of the gentlest rain
The silent tears roll down the years
and bathe me in a rosy glow
the sunshine warms me; holds me closely
I feel immense that all I know
Is carefully parcelled; tied with ribbon
red velvet bow soft to the touch
a secret gift to be opened slowly
unwrapped; unveiled and loved so much
Inspiration is my succour
that piques my salient desires
I know that you will understand me
be happy someone tends these fires
the burning embers that you left me
now ashes crumble in the dirt
dust is dust that once was earthbound
in Heaven there is no more hurt
My heart sings out the freedom of nature
like a bird on the wing I soar so high
above the mountains through the clouds
swooping towards an open sky
I reach the stars just as the night falls
and cloaks the earth in silent reverie
sweet dreams my love; I know you're smiling
your generosity sets me free
Love is freedom to be ourselves
no matter what direction we take
the ones who love us are happy for us
and theirs is the love we do not forsake
Be still my beating heart; be silent
only when the end is nigh
for I am alive and my joie de vie
my joy of life cannot be denied ...

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant
For one as beautiful as you
Songwriter and Lyrics: Don McLean
Let things come and go, The Things that are meant to stay, will stay ...

If roses are meant to be red
And violets to be blue
Why isn't my heart meant for you
My hands longing to touch you
But I can barely breathe
Starry eyes that make me melt
Right in front of me
Lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
And when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found
This music's irresistible
Your voice makes my skin crawl
Innocent and pure
I guess you heard it all before
Mister Inaccessible
Will this ever change
One thing that remains the same
You're still a picture in a frame
Lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
And when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found
I get lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
And when the lights go down
That's where I'll be found
Yeah yeah
I get lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
And when the lights go down
Am I the only one
When playing meant being outdoors in shorts, having friends with whom to share the first experiences… when playing meant coming home hungry, tired and with a red face from running and the sun…
When no one was alone....
A line from the song "Because the Night", although a Springsteen song, Patti Smith made it famous.
Because I was meant to see Patti Smith last night!
Grandpops Woodlice, also known as Philip Male, wrote that he would prefer to see one yellow bead. (See his comments on the previous macro, if curious.) I'm not certain if that meant one yellow bead without the tiny 18mm glass container or cork top. Perhaps he is quite a minimalist, although perhaps not. That is a large bear he posted today.
Fiddled with this a tad in an old version of Photoshop.
Sunflowers are meant to brighten our days. They’re yellow, happy looking and anxious to bring a smile to your face. Having a few in your garden is a must but seeing fields full of them by local farmers can make your day a whole lot better. Smiles can become contagious. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe and be kind. Gratitude and Kindness grow amongst all the Sunflowers growing everywhere. Why else would so many people want to live in the country admiring all that yellow beauty. Sunny days and Sunflowers bring miles of smiles.
In my case it meant to step back... To relax and not to think about what happened.
It also meant to focus on work. On me. Yes. Specially me.
The one that never fits.
The mouthy one.
The rude one.
But you know... Im thankful. Im thankful to know that I did try. I was not the one that was scared. I was the one that wouldn´t take you for granted. The one that believed in every little word that came out that pretty little mouth.
Sadly enough.. My feelings didnt match your expectations. But I realized... That it is actually the other way around. You did not meet mine!
Goodbye my almost lover. Forever thankful for the lesson not to crash into something that may hurt you.
Oh... And yes... Hello Flickr. I am back! ♥
Recently we took a two-hour drive to the center of Michigan's upper peninsula to visit Seney National Wildlife Refuge. It was a rather overcast day but that meant for fewer visitors at the already little-visited location. The 7-mile loop road through the refuge leads past scores of these ponds. The sky was an added bonus.
I have never visited this historic landmark since I don't cope with crowds, but the current lockdown meant that no one was there, and the grounds continued open for public viewing. It was an amazing morning and photo op.
Originally constructed in 1761, in 1964, the City of Holland purchased the windmill De Zwaan from a retired miller in the town of Vinkel in the province of Noord Brabant, the Netherlands. It was shipped to Holland, Michigan and reassembled there.

The Silhouette in the Mirror
The silhouette in the mirror,
As dark as night can be.
Not a single thing can be heard,
Nor a single thing seen.
Terrified of the vast unknown
Running 'round in circles
Without any corners to cut,
Just speed bumps to hurdle.
The silhouette in the mirror,
Lost where nothing is found.
Searching, trying to find a light,
But hope is still around.
Searching, trying to find the light
That fills the silhouette,
And hope whispers in the distance,
"I'm here, stay diligent."
The silhouette in the mirror,
Just hoping to be found.
Still positive, yet vigilant,
A dim light shines abound.
As the light is being approached
Hope is starting to shine.
The silhouette's getting closer
To reaching hope in time.
The silhouette's now filled with hope,
And a bright road's ahead
To find what is yet to be found,
The light hope's whisper said.
Holding a light to the mirror
The silhouette can see
All he was ever searching for
Was who he's meant to be.
Taken in October 2020 on a K&F Concept workshop. An exceptionally low tide at New Brighton of 0.6m meant we could make the mile or so walk out to the wreck of the SS Denham.
We were blessed with superb conditions with some wonderful cloud cover with breaks in between. As the light faded we turned our attention to the wind farm in Liverpool Bay. Thoroughly enjoyable and I think we all managed to forget about Covid for a few hours.
Goals Lost, Dreams Broken, Lost I was in uncertainty.
Flooded by thoughts of the past I was, waiting for the end, nearing me.
~
Soon after as I waited, a glimmer of hope I saw.
Beautiful, enticing, and graceful it was, I stood staring at it in awe.
~
Zeal for my life it was, for which I yearn.
Underneath the glimmer awaited, a lesson to be learned.
~
Life was never as I surmised it to be.
For I realized as I started on my journey, the glimmer I saw, was never
meant for me...

I trekked down to Laguna Beach this evening in hopes of catching some cloud coverage, but alas it wasn't meant to be. The tide was at its lowest level exposing this crevice. I climbed down in and setup my comp over the water. It wasn't until I returned home and started processing that I noticed this little fella hiding in the shadows. No photoshop trickery here this is the actual photo with minor processing. The hair stood up on the back of my neck momentarily when I noticed him there on the right side my composition.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! :) Have a great day everybody. :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
The evening light has come
It's obvious that they are meant to be together
They have been wondering
Where is he
Where is she
Was this it
And then suddenly the time was right
The Universe opened up
The light beamed its way down
They were both hit by it
Time flies when they are spending their precious time together
They like each other immensely
The chemistry is like electrified
It says ZAP if you go in between them
"May I have this dance, dear, may I have it forever?"
The answer is obvious
“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So, you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them, they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”
― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

In the early 1940’s the population bottomed out at just 21 in the wild and two in captivity. There are now over 800 with 37 wintering over in Indiana! This shot was taken near Muscatatuck NWR, Indiana.

Anytime you need a friend
I will be here
You'll never be alone again
So don't you fear
Even if you're miles away
I'm by your side
So don't you ever be lonely
Love will make it alright

"I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
"Cats," he said eventually. "Cats are nice."

I'll be catching up over the weekend, then away until after 3rd October, when I have two exams (work related) I need to do a lot of studying for.

I can hear you but I won't
Some look for trouble while others don't
There's a thousand reasons I should go about my day
And ignore your whispers, which I wish would go away, oh-oh-oh
You're not a voice
You're just a ringing in my ear
And if I heard you, which I don't
I'm spoken for, I fear
Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls
I'm sorry, secret siren, but I'm blocking out your calls
I've had my adventure, I don't need something new
I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
What do you want? 'Cause you've been keeping me awake
Are you here to distract me so I make a big mistake?
Or are you someone out there who's a little bit like me?
Who knows deep down I'm not where I'm meant to be?
Every day's a little harder as I feel my power grow
Don't you know there's part of me that longs to go
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Where are you going?
Don't leave me alone
How do I follow you
Into the unknown?
We had arrived well before sunrise in the dark, which meant trying to find our compositions before we could gauge where the sun would rise, so I took a number of test shots, which as a RAW looked very dark, so I didn't bother with them...however, the gloom of a British Christmas means that I need to pass the long, dark evenings, so decided to have a look, and with a bit of fiddling these wonderful dawn colours emerged. The glow comes from reflected light from the pre-sunrise sky, adding these rather strange tones to the red rocks and the canyon floor a few thousand feet below. I hope the fiddling was worth it and it doesn't look too weird!
I meant to find songs related to winter, and I found a song written by the Rolling Stones, which is not typical of their style! The tune is familiar, but I knew nothing about its history until I googled it. How interesting! I call it a winter surprise!
To mark the coldest day today, I guess some oldies but the goodies will make the perfect beginning of winter...
本來要找些冬天的歌曲的，沒想到找到不像滾石樂團的As Tears Go By，今年最冷的一天，就聽聽老歌吧~
