And, she did. Chuck thought he had moved the blind cord out of reach. That changed when our newly adopted cat, Molly, received an early Christmas present of cat furniture. Santa Maria, CA.

The blossoms on this star magnolia tree have been bitten by frost, yet they continue to declare that spring is here!
This was a dizzying display. It was quite windy and the Striated Pardalote was being blown around at a different rate to the leaf with the lerp. So every time they came close to each other the Pardalote made a lunge for the treat. This went on for a few minutes with dozens of attempts.

A shot taken for the Saturday Self Challenge on it's first anniversary . When I saw the subject for this week I knew straight away what I was going to do . As it happens we were due to go to R.H.S. Wisley Gardens on Sunday for the " Taste Of Autumn " event which we had been to last year . I took a similar shot then and was hoping for a similar display being there again - it was !!
Biggest problem though was getting a shot without little darlings being propped against the pumpkins and having mobile phones pointed at them - just the same as when trying to get shots of the tractors .
Great ! No kids in the way but still people standing around behind the display - this was a challenge getting a clear shot , patience and persistence pays off in the end .
Putting the text onto the shot was not a problem ,just used the MCS ( My Craft Studio ) programme for card crafters - I am surrounded here by crafters ! Val did say make a card , that would have been quite easy to make a real a real tangible one but would not know where to send it !
This beautiful red-bellied woodpecker kept coming to the suet feeder again and again. "You will get fat eating like that!"
Peak District National Park in August. This was one of those moments where the reward came only after patience and quiet persistence. Reaching this viewpoint meant walking slowly as the light changed minute by minute, waiting for the sun to drop just enough to set the valley on fire. The heather in the foreground was alive with colour, the rocks anchoring the scene while the landscape unfolded endlessly below. The struggle was resisting the urge to rush the shot, trusting that the light would align, and it did. That calm golden glow was the payoff, a reminder that nature always works on its own schedule and rewards those willing to slow down and observe.

Own Storm.
Elements, as a great cycle in nature, as life.
Elements, as composing cycles of reminds, along hours in a watch, along days on calendar...
Turbulences in our minds. They last.
How much is too much? Sometimes forever.
Visited a location today with many rusty farm equipment pieces. This new growth was a lovely find. Thanks for your appreciation, Gail

Cologne (German: Köln) is the largest city of Germany's most populous federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, and its 1 million+ (2016) inhabitants make it the fourth most populous city in Germany after Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich. The largest city on the Rhine, it is also the most populous city both of the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan Region, which is Germany's largest and one of Europe's major metropolitan areas, and of the Rhineland. Centred on the left bank of the Rhine, Cologne is about 45 kilometres (28 mi) southeast of North Rhine-Westphalia's capital of Düsseldorf and 25 kilometres (16 mi) northwest of Bonn. It is the largest city in the Central Franconian and Ripuarian dialect areas.
The city's famous Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) is the seat of the Catholic Archbishop of Cologne. There are many institutions of higher education in the city, most notably the University of Cologne (Universität zu Köln), one of Europe's oldest and largest universities, the Technical University of Cologne (Technische Hochschule Köln), Germany's largest university of applied sciences, and the German Sport University Cologne (Deutsche Sporthochschule Köln), Germany's only sport university. Cologne Bonn Airport (Flughafen Köln/Bonn) is Germany's seventh-largest airport and lies in the southeast of the city. The main airport for the Rhine-Ruhr region is Düsseldorf Airport.
Cologne was founded and established in Ubii territory in the 1st century AD as the Roman Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium, the first word of which is the origin of its name. An alternative Latin name of the settlement is Augusta Ubiorum, after the Ubii. "Cologne", the French version of the city's name, has become standard in English as well. The city functioned as the capital of the Roman province of Germania Inferior and as the headquarters of the Roman military in the region until occupied by the Franks in 462. During the Middle Ages it flourished on one of the most important major trade routes between east and west in Europe. Cologne was one of the leading members of the Hanseatic League and one of the largest cities north of the Alps in medieval and Renaissance times. Prior to World War II the city had undergone several occupations by the French and also by the British (1918–1926). Cologne was one of the most heavily bombed cities in Germany during World War II, with the Royal Air Force (RAF) dropping 34,711 long tons (35,268 tonnes) of bombs on the city. The bombing reduced the population by 95%, mainly due to evacuation, and destroyed almost the entire city. With the intention of restoring as many historic buildings as possible, the successful postwar rebuilding has resulted in a very mixed and unique cityscape.
Cologne is a major cultural centre for the Rhineland; it hosts more than 30 museums and hundreds of galleries. Exhibitions range from local ancient Roman archeological sites to contemporary graphics and sculpture. The Cologne Trade Fair hosts a number of trade shows such as Art Cologne, imm Cologne, Gamescom, and the Photokina.

Cologne Cathedral (German: Kölner Dom, officially Hohe Domkirche Sankt Petrus, English: Cathedral Church of Saint Peter) is a Catholic cathedral in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne and of the administration of the Archdiocese of Cologne. It is a renowned monument of German Catholicism and Gothic architecture and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1996. It is Germany's most visited landmark, attracting an average of 20,000 people a day, and currently the tallest twin-spired church at 157 m (515 ft) tall.
Construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248 but was halted in 1473, unfinished. Work did not restart until the 1840s, and the edifice was completed to its original Medieval plan in 1880. The cathedral is the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe and has the second-tallest spires. The towers for its two huge spires give the cathedral the largest façade of any church in the world. The choir has the largest height to width ratio, 3.6:1, of any medieval church.
Cologne's medieval builders had planned a grand structure to house the reliquary of the Three Kings and fit its role as a place of worship for the Holy Roman Emperor. Despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period, Cologne Cathedral eventually became unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe".
Uniquely beautiful carving of the Tennessee rock created by the persistent flow of water makes the new Winding Stair Park in Lafayette a jewel.
Os ventos que às vezes tiram
algo que amamos, são os
mesmos que trazem algo que
aprendemos a amar...
Por isso não devemos chorar
pelo que nos foi tirado e sim,
aprender a amar o que nos foi
dado.Pois tudo aquilo que é
realmente nosso, nunca se vai
para sempre...
This pied shag thought that a leaf might be a nice gift. Despite all the efforts and persistence to give the offering, the other shag was not interested in the least. Uploaded three images of this series, because these two birds made me smile.

This shot was taken at the beginning of the winter in Lignano (Friuli Venezia-Giulia, Italy): as the title suggests, the symmetry and the persistence of the various elements ware what caught my attention.
That's right...it's that same chunk of curbing and the same bit of red PVC wire. I'd thought by now the wind would have blown away all evidence of that strange twining of asphalt and wire.
But no.
Despite 3 nights of light frost and falling leaves. Plus about 3 months after their blooming season, this one lone Azalea bloom opens and shows it's great color as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
I have no doubt there is a message in this unusual event.
Feel free to share what this image says to you in your comments here. I look forward to seeing them.
Thank you all for your visits, wonderful comments, many invitations and awards. Thank you also for following my work.
I have met some amazing people here in Flickr and thank you all for being who you are and for the lovely art you speak through.
Happy Weekend to all.

I hate to steal a title from Dalí, but I just can't seem to find the right word I'm thinking of for this, and that title is as close as I can get for the moment.

Part 5 of 10 of a photo story shot April 2013.
Inspired by of the ideas put forth in Edgar Allen Poe's "The Philosophy of Composition" and based on a couple of photos from back in my 365.
"the death, then, of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world---and equally is it beyond doubt that the lips best suited for such topic are those of a bereaved lover."

As goofy as Mr. Personality is, he never gives up. Points for persistence & ambition. Unfortunately, I got distracted by a raptor flyover & didn't see what happened. The log was empty when I next looked.

Just a day after it experienced two separate mechanical failures and came close to being pulled from service, Metrolink F59PHR 856 charges down the rails once again as it leads an evening train to San Bernardino. Built in 1992, 856 is one of Metrolink's original locomotives, starting from Day 1 of the railroad. It was one of the seven F59PHs that were overhauled in the late-2000s and it served consistently until mid-2020 when it was initially removed from service. It has since made appearances from time to time on work trains and when extra locomotives were needed to cover for those that were in for servicing. It is always a question when 856's last run will be; if this could be the final photo I capture of it in regular service. That day will come, but for now, 856 persists.

For whatever reason, most of the hummingbirds I catch feeding are either females or juveniles. It could be that they just out number the males. The females could be gathering lots of energy for feeding their babies (they catch little bugs for them). Or the males spend lots of time showing off, watching over their territories.
I finally figured out where this guy fed - past tense, as these flowers are all gone. So I waited...and waited. He was a stealth feeder! Sometimes I'd hear him, see him at the flowers, and then he'd be off, chasing another hummingbird or going back to his favorite lookout.
He is catching enough light here that his head feathers are reflecting some color and aren't all black. See how cute he is when you View Large On Black

I watched people doing stand up paddle surfing in False Creek last weekend when I had a walk on Cambie Bridge.
Happy Monday and great week ahead!

Gone now. Those of us that came here with our cameras will never forget it. These ruins in the woods were full of some mysterious voice that spoke in tongues of light. Artillery rounds for the U. S. Civil War were cast in this foundry.
Now the buildings and the woodland have been scraped from the earth. A clay lined basin containing waste from a paper mill has been installed where these bones stood.

McConnell penalized Sen Warren for trying to read Coretta Scott King's letter to Sen Thurmond written when Sessions was first nominated to a judgeship years ago. He forbade her from speaking at all in the Senate until after the vote. He said she was warned, but "nevertheless she persisted."
