Will I once again comb my tresses in the wind?
Will I once again plant pansies in the garden?
And put the germaniums in the sky of the windows?
Will I once again dance on the cups?
Will the doorbell once again take me to the expectation of the voice?
Poetry of Forough Farrokhzad
Translated from Persian
... and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day"
Perry Como from way back!

Having seen many excellent Barn Owl images being posted on Flickr I realised I hadn't seen or photographed a wild Barn Owl in over 3 years. So at the end of March I tried to put that right.
After the first brief Barn Owl visit an hour+ passed and then it showed up again, at distance, and spent more time quartering the fields on the hunt.
It was then that I realised that there were now two Barn Owls quartering the fields.
Barn Owls are birds of prey, hunting and catching small mammals, mostly Field Voles here in the UK.
smudges upon me that you put
linger from your hands of soot.
languid toss as my body twists
curl your fingers in tighter fists.
never restraints did you need
whilst upon me you did feed.
sooty fingers,.. sooty soul
sooty intent...Sooty control
i will always need such things
happiness to my heart it brings.
Always in All Ways.

Fade Into You
I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life, you go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go blind
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then its smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I think it's strange you never knew

MINAMOTO no Yoritomo (1147 - 1199) is a samurai / politician who unified Japan at the end of the 10th century. In 1185, he put a governance office in Kamakura.

The 'Put van Broekhoven' is a artificial lake, which is created when the site was excavated. The sand from the well was used to build the nearby A12 highway. The well lies in the Weijpoortse polder, and the mill is therefore named the Weijpoortste mill. It is a water-wip-mill, dated 1674. It drained the polder until 1975. It is now not longer in use, but under control of the Rijnlandse Molenstichting, a foundation that preserves all the Rijnland-mills (mills situated in the Rijnland-water board).
Put out to pasture so to speak but still appears functional. A bit like the photographer. 🤔

He went of his back legs and had to phone Vet. He did this once before years ago. Vet said to give a paracetamol to ease pain she thought it was a muscular spasm. 95% okay know.
I try to put on a happy face a lot, even if things bother me deep down. I don't ever want to be viewed as the negative one or the one that complains. I want to be the happy one, the inspiring one. Sometimes things happen, whether they happen for a reason or not is irrelevant because they just happen. We plot out our lives, we try to hold onto our dreams what we aspire to be. We get pushed down, tripped, falling forever in this game that we play called life. We try to hold onto the positive to keep us going but sometimes we slip. We fall down a rabbit hole but Wonderland is not always at the end.
Today, I had to close a chapter in my life. A chapter as much as I wanted to be ready to close I wasn't ready. I'm scared, probably more scared then I have ever been in my life. I keep holding onto the fact that I love magic and fairy tales and trying to find some ounce of happiness but instead I just feel this pit in my stomach. This pit that won't go away and it's just filled with so much emotion that I'm not allowing myself to feel. I'm sad, I'm scared, I'm so many things but if you looked at me you would think hey she's fine but honestly right now I'm really not. I feel... off. Not ready, not ready to play life again.
I have to look around and remind myself that I have so much to be thankful for, for the few things in life that pick me up and tell myself to keep going and eventually yes, I'll be okay. I'll prevail, I'm strong I can do this. So many things I have to repeat in my head over and over again to tell myself that I'm strong. I can do this. I can do anything that I put my mind to. As Walt Disney once said; "If you can dream it, you can do it." I dream it. I dream it every day of my life and now I just for once, need some good karma, something good to happen. Something, anything. I don't want to fade.
And with that a chapter closes, another chapter that seemed too short, unfinished but we push on and write a new chapter. Now to just pick myself back up and start that new one.
Another look at the Black Skimmers' nesting area. According to the North American Waterbird Conservation Plan, the birds are in declining numbers and listed as a Species of High Concern. The problem is their choice of nesting area, often on beaches humans enjoy as well. You can see here there appears no protection whatsoever from beachgoers, dogs, maybe even motorized vehicles. Thoughtfully, beach management put up a low temporary fence around the colony and some signs to tell people to keep a respectful distance.
Look hard for the little nestling, low left "crash point", lots of resolution to give it a close look.
Put the Sigma 105mm f2.8 macro lens on the Canon EOS 1DS Mark III and used a flash to take some photos of "bling".

Thank you for visiting my little space here on Flickr.

The Aurora Borealis put on quite a show last night. I rushed out to catch some of it and I could have been better prepared. Standing around with my camera at -25C in a pair of Jeans isn't the smartest way to go. To say I was cold is a bit of an understatement. Still, I did get a few nice shots before I absolutely had to come home. It was one of the most spectacular shows I've seen in many many years. The greens and reds were dancing all over the sky. In this photo, I captured near the end of my time out there, the lights were really truly kicking off. They were dancing all over the sky in front of me above me and behind me. A few other cars had also arrived with people to look and wonder at the majesty of it all.

" The Long View on the Rising Ground [ 2] "
This is the 2nd version of this photo that I have put up here. However, I am not putting this up to promote my photos or look for comments or faves. I already have a version of this photo on here [2nd last photo back] that is not in any groups and I am more than happy with it, thanks. I am putting this up to show people on here how to work around the 30/60 group maximum rule that Flickr introduced over a month ago!
People who have PRO status on here can only now put there photos in 60 groups and those with non Pro status in only 30 groups. This is not enough for many of us!
However, there is a way around it in which we can put each of our photos in hundreds of groups or as many as you like by following these instructions and not breaking any rules.
There are lots of administrators of groups on here who do not want to accept Flickrs ruling as it is affecting their viewing figures so they have decided to allow us to add as many photos as we want to their groups,
but you must do this in the correct order or Flickr will block you when you have added only 60/30 photos maximum!
From tomorrow morning, Tuesday [9/1/2017] I will start adding this photo to groups and will by the end of the week, Friday,[ 12/1/2017 ] have this photo in over 100 groups.
If you drop by between tomorrow and next thurday I will have put the instructions on how to do the first stage, and then on Friday I will put up on ,how to do the 2nd/3rd final stage.
I know that lots of people dont understand how to do this as English is not there first language so please, if you are there friends and can translate for them, please do. Flickr translate is worse than useless!!! Others dont understand how to do this this because of the complications of modern technology { Im one of those who struggle with modern stuff too!} so this is why Im doing it step by step to help people understand. Its easy once you do it the first time!
Please do join the "OPT OUT GROUP"
[www.flickr.com/groups/2982691@N21/ ] where my good frends, i LOVE NatureiLOVEnature's Photography Inspiration and SaffyH SaffyH have compiled a list of the groups that have opted out of the 30/60 maximum rule and you can use as many of these groups as you like but only when stage one is complete!!!!!!! Thank you to them for explaining to me how to do his! They will also help you in any way they can including assisting administrators who wish to opt their groups out of the 30/60 restrictions!
Hopefully I will catch you here between tomorrow and Thursday and if you have any queries do message me as I will be more than pleased to help you if I can!

Hi all! I said Id come back this morning and start adding this photo to opt in grops { groups that have stayed with the 30/60 maximum ruling! }
I am adding the photo to 30 of these froups today and I will add it to a further 30 [total 60} on friday}
I could add it to 60 now in one hit but it is better to do it in 2 or more sections. The reason for this is as follows;
When you put up say one of your phoos and add it to one group, it immediatly goes on the first page of the group site and can be seen by all who visit that group. However as the day progresses, more people will add their photos to the group and your photo will go onto the 2nd, 3rd or 4th page etc and will disappear from public view as most people only look at the first webpage on a group site! By splitting the sixty groups into smaller sections of say 30+30 or 15 +15+15 +15 or whatever way you want to do it, your photo is getting more exposure to the public view. You could of course if you have lots of time, put your photo into 60 opt in groups today, remove it from these groups tomorrow and then add it to 60 new opt in groups. Its your choice.Just do remember that 60 is the total maximum you can leave up!!
Im now adding my photo to my 30 groups.
I will drop back on Friday next to complete step one and do step 2 [opt out groups }and step 3 if any!
By the way, to find out if a group is opt in or opt out, open the groups main page. Scroll down to the bottom and its written in the first paragraph!! Do remember to choose only opt in groups at this stage!!
This photo has 77 Faves overnight which I didnt really want but thats how good people are on here!
We will see how many extra faves, if any, it has by Friday!!
Hope your day is good and thank you for joining me!!!!

Hiya!
The photo has done quite well since I put it up last Tuesday.
1250 Views! If only 25% of the people here, read this and use the "Workaround" as suggested, that would be really great!
I checked back 6 hours later, on the groups[ 30 ] I had put he photo in, and it had disappeared of their front pages. Mostly it was on the third page. This means that the photo loses interest very quickly as it is pushed further back as other members add their photos. It might be better to add the 60/30 opt in groups over a longer period of time, say 5 per day over 12 days. If course, the larger the group the photo is added to, the quicker it disappears off the front page. In smaller groups it would stay visible for longer.
Im now going to add it to the remaining 30 {Opt In } groups.
Now I have reached the maximum. I can still remove some at this stage and add other ones in but Im leaving it as is.
Im now going to add the opt out groups that I have colected. Approximately 40. { Stage 2 }
Ive finished that and including admin approval on 6 of the photos, I have now put the photo in over 100 groups. I will add more opt out ones as I find them.
It is at this point that any group invites that you have should be added. { Stage 3 }
I do hope you may find this helpful and If you have any questions, please ask and Ill do my best to answer them.
Thanks for all your Faves, comments and your kindness!
