RKO_343. In wildlife there are many animals depending on other animals. In this case trust while grooming the skin near they eye is a necessity!

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
Baloo's song from The Jungle Book
As the gull flies by. A wonder it's venturing so closely. The air pollutants are considered in range but long term effects from the fossil fuel industry must be at least questionable.
According to St. Maximus, this freedom of choice is already a sign of imperfection, a limitation of our true freedom. A perfect nature has no need of choice, for it knows naturally what is good. . . . Our free choice [gnōmē] indicates the imperfection of fallen nature, the loss of the divine likeness. Our nature being overclouded by sin no longer knows its true good, and usually turns to what is ‘against nature’; and so the human person is always faced with the necessity of choice; it goes forward gropingly. This hesitation in our ascent towards the good, we call ‘free will.’ The person called to union with God, called to realize by grace the perfect assimilation of its nature to the divine nature, is bound to a mutilated nature, defaced by sin and torn apart by conflicting desires. It knows and wills by means of this imperfect nature, and is in practice blind and powerless. It can no longer choose well, and too often yields to impulses of nature which has become a slave to sin. So it is, that that in us which is made in the image of God is dragged into the abyss, though always retaining its freedom of choice, and the possibility of turning anew to God.

The majority of farmers in Thailand are very poor. Farm implements and machinery are very expensive. Henceforth the "E-tak", locally made trucks with Kubota diesel engines ranging from 12.5 to 14 horsepower. They are named for the sound they make as they lumber down the road. Made by various manufacturers, each one looks different and many are decorated in various Thai motifs (but not this one.) No doubt these vehicles are the cheapest thing available to the farmers.

I had a brief outing in the Derbyshire Dales the other day before heading back home. The sun looked like it was going to dip below some cloud so headed to the classico for sunset for the thousandth time.

Sometimes we do things we don’t like and we like so many things we don’t do.
Sometimes we have to suck it up and do what we hate doing. Maybe that things will turn to be sweetest moment ever..Maybe…We have no will power, just accept it people. It might be the necessity of life ;)
Tribute to Klose who had been sent off in FIFA. :(
I was, by necessity, too far away to get a good picture of this little guy- in fact I didn't even know it was there while I was photographing this nest. I was very excited to see a chick when I reviewed the photos later. My first ever! Great Blue Herons, Siskiyou County, California
A couple days ago I posted a Ferruginous Hawk where, miraculously, I didn't clip the wings. No such luck with this Bald Eagle, so I decided to make a virtue of necessity and crop the image even tighter, clipping more of its wing, to make it look intentional. To my surprise, there's a kind of intimacy here... that I wasn't really expecting.
There were four eagles that afternoon: one in flight, three more on power poles. First Bald Eagles of the year, pushing north with the warming temperatures and the emergence of ground squirrels. I haven't seen any in recent days, so no doubt they continued northward. The only eagles to nest in my area are Golden, so it's always a treat to see Baldies in spring or fall migration.

The title came to mind as I looked over my decades of collected make-up, trying to decide what to choose for today's challenge.
The usual minimum for me is a dusting of face powder and little blusher to warm it up.
