Robin Hood's Bay is a picturesque fishing village located on the coast of North Yorkshire, England. The charming red-roofed houses and winding streets of the village can be seen nestled between the rugged cliffs and the blue waters of the North Sea. The stunning natural scenery surrounding the village makes it a popular tourist destination.
Some hearts weren't meant to grow wings and fly to another to find nest. Some hearts are made to be kept within the ribbed cage it came, glowing as a bright candle in the curve, radiantly wholesome of oneself.

This is "Le Pavillon", the house at the end of the avenue of platane trees which I've recently uploaded to my stream. You can just see the last two of the platane trees at the end of the avenue at the right of the photo. I've never seen the building with the shutters opened so I'm unsure if it's still used. It's a beautiful old building.
I captured this during on of my morning walk in Colorado Springs, Colorado. USA. I saw this beautiful house nestled in the lap of Colorado Rocky Mountains. The early morning sunlight on the mountains and house looked so beautiful I couldn't resist myself to take this shot.
For me, not as striking as its former giant flowers, but fresh and clean, and always something to catch your interest. It's a parking lot nestled into the back sides of favorite stores on Bellevue Avenue in Hammonton, New Jersey.
This pretty little butterfly at Wisley seemed to have a slightly crumpled wing. I was hoping it could still fly.
Similar to curling stones around the button, these "rocks" are embedded in the ice that surrounds them. They do however make an interesting study in form, and combined with the evening light, contrast against the smoothness in which they are nestled. What initially attracted me to this opportunity was their neckless like encircling of the deposit of water.
It is actually a thawed area from the river flowing around and under the ice. Closer inspection changes the look of the outcome, illustrating that old adage, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." (Einstein) This angle had me standing off the bottom of a hill and onto the ice that touches the land. With our recent higher temperatures one needs to take greater care of such thinning ice, so I stayed close to the edge.
Well, I wasn't able to get out much during this fall season but here's one of the few pics I did get from it (that's not a bird).
New Zealand...... so charming. Colin was driving at the time when I spotted this scene and made him double back. Thanks Colin. Olga

To be a liturgist, one must have died, be dead, and be constantly dying to this world. The eschatological liturgy that will save the world comes to the world from without, because nothing within this dead world can give the Body of Christ its life.

Periodically the need to feed the passion grows and it is time to hunt for treasure. Off I went to find a gem to bring home reminding myself of the words from a famous photographer named Freeman Patterson. He tells us that great photos are all around us and there is no need to go far to find them. We should be able to photograph our own surrounding area.
With this in mind I give myself a rung up on the ladder by choosing light that will illicit the added dimension I am looking for, in this case warm light low to the horizon to create shadows. This shot is not far from home and just off a highway on the south side of the city. A valley sat in the shadows as if protecting the trees from the sun. Surrounding it, the grasses turned golden from the sun's rays catching their frilly, fine tops.
The gift from the sun God's came as the line of gold appeared in front of the trees defining the area. Sometimes you get what you are looking for and sometimes it comes out even better than you hoped.

Macro Mondays: ”What is that?”
A colourful collection of EOS lip balms nestled in an egg carton. In the midst of a long Canadian winter, I loved the bright and cheery colours of these adorable lip balms.
Fun fact for those, like me, who didn’t know what EOS stands for, it’s Evolution of Smooth.
Total image width is 2.75” to meet Macro Monday size guidelines.
The wild duck startles like a sudden thought,
and heron slows as if it might be caught.
The flopping crows on weary wings go by
and grey beard jackdaws noisy as they fly.
The crowds of starlings whizz and hurry by,
and darken like a cloud the evening sky.
The larks like thunder rise and swiftly round,
then drop and nestle in the stubble ground.
The wild swan hurries high and flutters loud
white neck peering to the evening crowd.
The weary rooks to distant woods are gone.
With black waving tail the magpie winnows on
to neighbouring tree, and leaves the distant crows
while small birds nestle in the hedge below.
