Apparently, Larks like the summer and warm temps here in Jordan; and I'm pleased and happy they do. They are certainly great subjects... hopping up onto stones and boulders in the sun, they seem unconcerned with the kestrals and buzzards that are always patrolling above them, who I must say also seem more interested in doves and feral pigeons.
Another warm morning, fantastic up and down walking among the pines and olive trees in and around the edge of the forest reserve. The 400 mm is almost one Kg (2+ lbs) heavier than the 300 mm... still working on handheld technique with it... plus walking is very deliberate on up and downhill scree and loose soil... can't drop or land on top of this! :-)
Shout out to the Jordan Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) for their great work in the protected areas of Jordan and also Mr. Mohammad Hammad and Mr. Ali Hasan at SixT for always finding me the compact SUV I need to get around on the weekends in back-country Jordan... :-)

Aquí os dejo otra de esta serie. Fotografía obtenida en aquellos años que los otoños se comportaban como tales, y nos deleitaban con sus bellos colores, y los arroyos con sus cantos hacían las delicias de quienes teníamos la suerte de poder oírlos cantar, en la soledad del bosque.

Originally, I was looking for peacocks to photograph in Evora Garden but they were nowhere to be seen. Then this cat arrived to take a rest underneath a chair, away from sweltering heat on that day with the temperature exceeding 40 degrees Celsius.

A MUST VIEWED LARGE!!
Another of my sunsets along the river Thames at Erith, it was such a fabulous and beautiful evening . Just a short time from home.
It is all a bit of a hit and miss affair when you are taking shots like this because you are not to sure how the rays are going to come out!

I must say, I was shocked when I saw how nighttime changes an owl's face. While they become fearsome predators at night, they also become much more adorable to us humans, who have evolved to perceive large eyes as captivating and innocent.
In an effort to find area barred owls, I set out to a local park before sunrise and came upon this Eastern Screech Owl (Megascops asio) in the dark. This darkness was so inky and thick, in fact, that I could not see if he was in his hole or not, so trained my tripoded camera on the hole, manually focused, and finally saw him in the preview window! Shocked for sure by those massive pupils staring down at me, a frog (which he swallowed greedily prior to this photo and while I watched) in his talons!
Interestingly, owl eyeballs are not balls at all, but so well evolved for night vision that they have elongated into eye cones. For this reason, they cannot move their eyes in their sockets, and have evolved wildly-flexible necks. With their highly acute retinas replete with rods (the light and movement sensing eye bits), there wasn't much room for cones, and so most owls see limited or no color!
It must be the last flower photo for now.
Hey, I'm not a flower store or something. ;)
Try this ..... I honestly have no idea what flower this is. Its center looks like a cluster of small transparent insect wings when you look closely.

I must've died and gone to heaven
'Cause it was quarter past eleven
On a Saturday in 1999
Right across from where I'm standing
On the dance floor she was landing
It was clear that she was from another time
Like some baby Barbarella
With the stars as her umbrella
She asked me if I'd like to magnetise
Do I have to go star-trekking
'Cause it's you I should be checking
So she laser beamed me with her cosmic eyes
She's just a cosmic girl
From another galaxy
My heart's at zero gravity
She's from a cosmic world
Putting me in ecstasy
Transmitting on my frequency
She's cosmic
I'm scanning all my radars
Well she said she's from a quasar
Forty thousand million light years away
It's a distant solar system
Tried to phone but they don't list 'em
So I asked her for her number all the same

These must be my favourite dragonflies; they have striking colours and always seem happy to go about their business regardless of your presence. What's more, I associate them with some of my favourite places. This one had just caught a bumble bee on the slopes of Ben Hiant, Ardnamurchan, and perched obligingly on a dead sprig of Bog Myrtle to enjoy its meal whilst I snapped away.
I was surprised to see a lingering pine siskin today. It must have been out to lunch when all its friends took the last flight to Canada.
Recently went to the Rookery, not to far from where we live on the advice of 2 Flickr pals , I was not disappointed
One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter
Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,
Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.
--Wallace Stevens

God's given us years of happiness here
Now we must part
And as the angels come and call for you
The pains of grief tug at my heart
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Oh the days will be empty
The nights so long without you my love
And when god calls for you I'm left alone
But we will meet in heaven above
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Fond memories I'll keep of happy ways
That on earth we trod
And when I come we will walk hand in hand
As one in heaven in the family of god
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Give your gal/fella a big hug. Take your kids somewhere fun. Time is the most valuable, and scarcest, resource you'll ever have. Make the most of it. You're not promised tomorrow.

Introduction
Best Gospel Hymns | 2019 Gospel Song With Lyrics "What the Young Must Pursue" | Videos Gospel
I
Prejudiced eyes and deceit are not what the youth should have.
Awful and destructive ways are not how the youth should act.
They should have aspirations, ardently strive to advance,
not lose heart over their prospects,
keep faith in life, the future.
Youth should have resolve in discernment, seeking justice and the truth.
Pursue all things beautiful,
gain reality of positive things.
Be responsible towards life.
You must not take this lightly. You must not take this lightly.
II
Youth should persist in the path of truth,
thus expend their lives for God.
They should not lack the truth,
nor harbor falseness, unrighteousness.
They should take the proper stance.
They shouldn’t just drift along.
They should dare to sacrifice, fight for justice and the truth.
Youth should have resolve in discernment, seeking justice and the truth.
Pursue all things beautiful,
gain reality of positive things.
Be responsible towards life.
You must not take this lightly. You must not take this lightly.
III
Young people should not give in to oppression of dark force.
They must have the courage to change the meaning of their lives.
Young people shouldn’t resign themselves to adversity,
they should be open and frank, forgive fellow believers.
Youth should have resolve in discernment, seeking justice and the truth.
Pursue all things beautiful,
gain reality of positive things.
Be responsible towards life.
You must not take this lightly. You must not take this lightly.

Must admit, I took a break from Flickr for a couple of days.
But anyways, this is the Wheel of Brisbane. Taken early in the morning, so that the lights were still on, which I think adds a bit more interest to the otherwise dark scene.
Thanks so much for all your faves and comments guys, really appreciate them! Have a great day!
I went back to the field I photographed recently to get a closer shot of the tree before the crop was harvested. I guess it is just stubble now as all the fields around appeared to have been harvested and this one must have been next.

Creepy encounter with the Bogeyman. Or maybe the Boogie Man? Because who says abandoned sanatoriums must be creepy places haunted by the poor souls of the people who once had been treated there? The artists that have decorated a wing of one of the many buildings of this long abandoned lung sanatorium nearby Berlin must have believed the latter, because almost all of the art there is horror-themed, just like this enormous creature consisting of branches (Blair Witch, anyone?). But, wait a minute... There are branches, but there are also cables, and coloured light bulbs. Party lights! And seriously, can a creature who partly consists of colourful party lights be evil? Just imagine him all lit up like a Christmas Tree ;)
This reminded me of an anecdote my mother, magrit k., once had heard during a guided tour at Beelitz Heilstätten (another old, but no longer abandoned sanatorium also nearby Berlin). And that anecdote gives rise to doubts that these sanatoriums were per se sad places, places of pain and suffering: Back in the day (at the end of the 19th / beginning of the 20th century), as you might have guessed, men's and women's dormitories were strictly seperated from each other. But that didn't stop the patients from finding ways to visit each other at night. How? At one point, someone had found access to the underground logistic passages which connected the entire building complex. Those passages were off-limits for the patients, of course, but has "off-limits" ever stopped anyone? So, at least for some time, there there must have been quite a busy nightlife with regular, merry get-togethers among the patients, before the hospital's management noticed what was going on, and put an end to those "indecencies" by locking the passages for anyone except authorised personnel ;)
So maybe also this sanatorium isn't haunted by lost souls, but the spirits that linger there are of a good-natured, happy kind instead. And the creature in my photo isn't the Bogeyman, but DJ Boogie Man. So let the fun begin :)
HSS, Everyone!
Bi-Ba Butzemann
Gut, nachts im Dunkeln, womöglich noch ganz allein, möchte ich dieser schauerlichen Zweig-Kreatur (die Blair Witch lässt grüßen), die ich 2018 bei einem Fotowalk mit Flickr-Freunden in einem Gebäude einer verlassenen Lungenheilstätte bei Berlin (nicht Beelitz) gefunden hatte, nicht begegnen. Vielleicht ist sie aber gar nicht so furchterregend, wie sie auf den ersten Blick aussieht? Denn wenn man genauer hinsieht, merkt man, dass der Körper dieses Butzemanns nicht nur aus Zweigen, sondern auch aus Kabeln und bunten Glühlampen besteht. Und eine bunte Party-Lichterkette ist doch so ziemlich das Gegenteil von furchterregend, oder?
Und wer sagt eigentlich, dass in verlassenen Heilstätten auf ewig die verlorenen Seelen der armen ehemaligen "Insassen" herumspuken? Vielleicht spuken sie ja herum, haben aber ihren Spaß dabei? Das lässt zumindest eine Anekdote vermuten, die meine Mutter (magrit k.) mal bei einer Führung durch die ehemalige Lungenheilstätte Beelitz erzählt bekommen hatte: Zur Glanzeit von Beelitz, Ende des 19. / Anfang des 20. Jhdt., waren die Schlafsäle von Männlein und Weiblein natürlich brav voneinander getrennt, handelte es sich doch schließlich um ein anständiges Haus. Was allerdings die Patienten nicht davon abhielt, sich des Nachts gegenseitigen Besuch abzustatten. Wie? Irgendjemand hatte wohl mal die – fahrlässigerweise unverschlossenen, aber natürlich nicht öffentlichen – Versorgungsgänge unterhalb der Gebäude entdeckt. Beelitz muss also eine zeitlang ein recht reges Nacht- und Partyleben gehabt haben. Bis zu dem Zeitpunkt, als jemand von der Krankenhausleitung das bunte Treiben bemerkt und dafür gesorgt hatte, dass die Versorgungsgänge nunmehr stets verschlossen zu sein hatten.
Vielleicht ist also dieser Butzemann gar keine finstere Kreatur, sondern ein fideler DJ, der zur Geisterstunde die Platten zur allnächtlichen Sanatoriumsparty auflegt. Wie heißt es schon im bekannten, evtl. bis dato falsch interpretierten Kinderlied: "Es tanzt ein Bi-Ba-Butzemann in unserm Haus herum, fidebum. (...) Er rüttelt sich, er schüttelt sich (...), es tanzt ein Bi-Ba-Butzemann in unserm Haus herum." Vielleicht haben wir hier gerade wieder einen Mythos entzaubert ;)
There must be a very good reason why a Rio Grande SD40T-2 was leading a Valley Camp to Moapa coal train, stopped in the UP interchange yard at Provo, Utah on June 9, 1996. I was okay with it. On an adjacent track, light power for YPV55 swtich job drifts through the yard.

Captured in April 2019. As 'hugging' is set to be 'permitted' in England again soon I think it is sensible that we all remember just how this virus spreads and how quickly it can get out of control. Medical and epidemiological experts are expressing that we must be more cautious than perhaps the government message is portraying. Stay safe everyone!
