... or geraniums as many of us call them. This was a hanging basket of mine ... I like the light and shadows in this photo. I'm not sure what the tiny bug is. I'm having a problem with one of my eyes that I had a cataract op on a few years ago, very blurry. I hope the photo is clear enough.
I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. Thank you for your visits and comments dear friends:-) xx
You can get star trails even in cities with lots of light pollution. About 18 mo ago, I took photos at night in Sydney. I didn't get as many star trails as I had hoped for but did get lots of plane trails.
I tried again later this time after the planes stop flying in and out of Sydney's main airport at 11 pm. I also used a different lens. The only problem I had was it was quite windy which caused a bit of camera shake even though the camera was on a tripod. At least I did not have to worry about dew on the camera or lens. This image is a composite of 113 photos.

Happy New Week!
Thanks very much for taking the time to visit, comment or leave a fave.
Merlin ist der Bruder von Gismo, beide sind jetzt 10 Wochen alt.
Leider hat ihre Mama sich überhaupt nicht mit meinen älteren Katzen vertragen.
Meine Schwester war aber so lieb und hat sich ihrer angenommen und da ich den Kleinen behalten habe, gab es auch keine Probleme mit ihren Katzen.
Allerdings konnte (oder wollte) die vorherige Person seinen Bruder nun doch nicht aufnehmen, so das ich ihn ebenfalls zu mir geholt habe. Die Wiedersehensfreude der beiden süßen Kerlchen treibt mir jetzt noch die Tränen in die Augen, so das es mir unmöglich ist, meine Entscheidung zu bereuen.
Merlin is Gismo's brother, both are now 10 weeks old.
Unfortunately, her mom didn't get along with my older cats at all.
But my sister was so kind and took care of her and since I kept the little one, there were no problems with her cats either.
However, the previous person couldn't (or didn't want to) take his brother in after all, so I brought him in too. The joy of seeing the two sweet guys again brings tears to my eyes, making it impossible for me to regret my decision.

This was a real problem slide to restore. A hole in it, faded, crayon over the image and decades of poor storage.
Taken in October 1971, I can't go back in time to re-take it, so it was worth it for a tiny glimpse of the past.
El problema es que cuando uno está explicando algo al público o a un alumno, hay la tendencia a plantear la situación de la siguiente manera “yo tengo la clave, tú no la tienes. Ahora te la revelo, tú la apuntas, te la llevas a casa; y ya hemos resuelto nuestra relación”. Todos quedamos contentos. Esto no es así. Pensemos, por ejemplo, en el campo de la filosofía –en otros campos, en materias mucho más concretas y perfiladas, probablemente, uno puede aprender realmente cosas cerradas. Los filósofos, desde Kant, sabemos que sólo podemos enseñar a filosofar. No se puede enseñar filosofía en el sentido de decir: “tome, llévese este libro, apréndaselo de memoria, vuelva mañana y será filósofo”. Se puede enseñar a filosofar diciendo: “miren cómo lo hago yo y háganlo ustedes”.

There is no Beauty Without Some Strangeness
- Edgar Allan Poe

The Raven:
Ravens are among the smartest of all birds, gaining a reputation for solving ever more complicated problems invented by ever more creative scientists.
The Raven is an acrobatic flier, often doing rolls and somersaults in the air. Young birds are fond of playing games with sticks, repeatedly dropping them, then diving to catch them in midair.
People around the world sense a certain kind of personality in ravens. Edgar Allan Poe clearly found them a little creepy. The captive ravens at the Tower of London are beloved and perhaps a little feared: legend has it that if they ever leave the tower, the British Empire will crumble.
Common Ravens can mimic the calls of other bird species. When raised in captivity, they can even imitate human words; one Common Raven raised from birth was taught to mimic the word “nevermore.”
The oldest known wild Common Raven was at least 22 years, 7 months old. It was banded and found again in Nova Scotia.

I'm having computer problems at the moment and might be without one for a few days very soon.
I would like to apologise on behalf of Flickr for it's problems that have removed my faves and comments from peoples photostreams, as well as other peoples faves and comments from mine. A lot of people have been affected by this, some far worse than myself. Hopefully normal service will soon be returned.
Après une montée sans problème, le deuxième petit, nommé l'Intrépide par mon ami Sylvain, décide d'aller rejoindre sa mère dans l'arbre en face du nid....c'est là que ça se complique et notre petit nous à fait tout un spectacle, digne du cirque du Soleil...un spectacle qui a duré une dizaine de minutes mais qui nous a semblé beaucoup plus long...en arrière plan nous voyons sa mère qui le surveille.

This is an image I likely wouldn't have posted, but after an interesting conversation with Flickr friend Flaushi & Friends on a swan she captured out on the ocean, I decided to share.
I had heard there was an owl at the lake not too far from work, so I decided to take a second trip (first trip was unsuccessful) after my shift to look for her. My daughter and faithful Border Collie, Bandit came along on the adventure.
After looking for a short time I spotted her out on the docks and walked around the shore trying to find a half decent angle to photograph her. In the meantime, a pair of mute swans swam over to see if we had brought them any goodies. I ignored them at first, since the owl had my full attention, but one of the two was quite persistent. He (or she) came right up to shore, stood up tall and was almost beak to nose with Bandit. Bandit was quite entertained and went into his usual OCD dance bouncing up and down on his hind legs and licking the ice at his feet. The swan wasn't at all phased and stretched out his long neck with an expectant look on his face. When he finally decided I had nothing for him, he swiftly ruffled his feathers and turned away from me. This was captured as he swam away glancing back with a look of disgust at my insensitivity for showing up empty handed.
Hi my friends, I'm back on Flickr. I had some problems, but I'm back here. As always, I thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on my photos, have a nice day. :-)
Vanwege problemen tussen Venlo en Kaldenkirchen werd ik met trein 40039 (Waalhaven-Zuid - Busto Arsizio) aan de kant genomen in Helmond. Venlo en Gekkengraaf stonden vol met treinen die nog richting Duitsland moesten, dus mocht er in Helmond gewacht werden tot er plek was; reden genoeg om de 193 657 nogmaals op de foto te zetten.
Gelukkig kon al vrij snel na het maken van de foto weer richting Venlo vertrokken worden, waarbij er nog een stopje op de planning stond in Gekkengraaf.
But Beautiful_Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga
Love is funny, or it's sad
Or it's quiet, or it's mad
It's a good thing or it's bad
But beautiful
Beautiful to take a chance
And if you fall you fall
And I'm thinking I wouldn't mind at all
Love is tearful, or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache either way
But beautiful
And I'm thinking if you were mine
I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful I know
But beautiful
And I'm thinking if you were mine
I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful I know

"Sure you've heard of her, whispers telling you to lock your windows tight
Gotham's got a problem
Under the moonlight
Must be careful or you'll lose everything, might
You have heard of her, whispers warning you about the Catwoman
Gotham's got a problem"

Usually it's the other way round, bank of cloud on the horizon and clear skies. The sky was scarlet looking back towards Sheffield and Burbage and I couldn't quite squeeze it in.
As usual not without incident. Spilt coffee in my camera bag, cleaning cloths were like I'd rubbed them with lard and completely useless, left a lens hood here and had to traipse all the way back to retrieve it, got soaked on the return and forgot I'd disconnected the stove in the van and left the regulator at home and my back up butane cannister was empty, so no bacon sandwiches.
First world problems!
It is a real problem, is it not? How can we come to an understanding of this utterly diverse and complicated world whilst sitting in the particularity of our home? It is true that the media, from newspapers to TV and social media, offer us a daily digest of selected information. We would, I sincerely hope, critically examine these news and think for ourselves. However, even so, we would have to deal with the selective nature of the information. We never see "the whole picture". Our knowledge, even at the best of times, is necessarily fragmentary. It is absolutely important to be aware of this limitation - it is one of the virtues that make us human.
I am saying this because AI is on the march. AI has never ever left its ivory tower, it never "left home". It never made any experiences. AI has not seen anything. It does not know how to suffer. What it does is to harvest and (often illegally) exploit printed or published materials, information it has neither created nor even collected. It does not know what it does not know. And yet AI will come up with explanations and scenarios that are untroubled by any kind of self-doubt. AI does not know when it is peddling false information. AI will interpret the world whilst staying at its "home" and will not even be aware of it. Leica M8 plus Voigtlaender 35/1.4 at approx. F8.
All life, as if an endless moment...
Seasons change after season.
This whole wonderful world was in white,
Then suddenly it becomes green again...
Where is the line, the one beyond which this life is?
Where is sensuality, and where is rationality?
Where is what we call MIRAGES,
And where is the inexorable reality?
And the world - it is as if woven from problems,
The mysteries in it are sometimes inexplicable,
But we live in it for some reason, why?
Everything in this world is so inexplicable...
We want it to be simple, why?
To understand everything that we do not understand?
So that no one understands
Everything that we feel and everything that we know?
What are we striving for, what do we want to understand?
First we create, and then we destroy again,
We are so used to losing so much,
That our souls become hardened from losses.
We are used to life, and it is only a moment!
I just started living, and life is already coming to an end,
And this world remains a fairy tale
A mystery, once unsolved...

The Magpie is a highly intelligent member of the corvid family (which includes crows and ravens) known for its striking black-and-white plumage and complex social behavior. While often unfairly branded as a "thief" or a bad omen in European folklore, it is revered as a symbol of good luck and prosperity in many East Asian cultures.
High Intelligence & Behavior
Self-Awareness:
The Eurasian magpie is one of the few non-mammal species to pass the mirror test, proving it can recognize its own reflection.
Problem Solving:
They are known to use tools, play games, and work in teams to fend off predators or hunt.
Social Memory:
Magpies can recognize individual human faces and may remember people who have been either kind or threatening in the past.
Grief:
They have been observed performing elaborate social rituals that resemble funerals when a member of their group dies.
Appearance & Identification
Iridescent Feathers:
While they look black and white from a distance, their black feathers actually have a blue, green, and purple iridescent sheen visible in sunlight.
Long Tail:
The tail makes up more than half of the bird's total length (approx. 45 cm total) and is used for balance and communication.
Vocalisations:
Their most common sound is a harsh, rapid "chacker-chacker" chatter, though they are also capable mimics of other sounds and even human speech.
Habitat & Diet
Adaptability:
They are found across Europe, Asia, and North America, thriving in suburban gardens, parks, and farmland.
Diet:
As omnivores, they eat a varied diet including insects, seeds, fruit, carrion, and occasionally the eggs or chicks of other birds.
Nesting:
They build large, domed nests of twigs and mud, usually high in trees or thorny bushes for protection.

"Unstoppable"
You're never gonna stop me
I'm the nightmare you've been dreaming of
Now the day is approaching
Gonna show you what I'm made of
This is just the beginning
Your anxiety is justified
Let me tell you something
There's nowhere left for you to hide
Justice will be mine
You can be certain
That sound of your heartbeat
Like a time bomb slowly ticking down
You won't see me coming
I can end your life without a sound
Hear me now
It's unavoidable
I fulfill my vow
There's no escape
I am unstoppable
(I am unstoppable)
There can be no penance
For the parasite that you've become
There is no repentance
This judgment can't be undone
There will be no mercy
No lenience while I'm alive
Vengeance is coming
Believe it now, you won't survive
Justice will be mine
You can be certain
That sound of your heartbeat
Like a time bomb slowly ticking down
You won't see me coming
I can end your life without a sound
Hear me now
It's unavoidable
I fulfill my vow
I am unstoppable
Don't bother running
It's over this time
You're going to pay now
For all you have taken
Hear me now
There's no escape
I am unstoppable
I am, I am, I am, I am
I am
I am unstoppable
I am, I am, I am, I am
I am
I am unstoppable
I am, I am, I am, I am
I am
I am unstoppable
Hear me now
It's unavoidable
I fulfill my vow
I am unstoppable
Don't bother running
It's over this time
You're going to pay now
For all you have taken
Hear me now
There's no escape
I am unstoppable
(You're never gonna stop me
I am unstoppable
You're never gonna stop me)
I am unstoppable

As Samara munched happily on her favorite sushi roll, her delight was cut short by Belle’s soft sniffling. She turned her gaze from her plate to her best friend, Belle.
“What’s wrong?” Her eyes wide in worry. “Is it musty? Are they…crusty?” Her eyes darted from her friend’s tearful face and then down to the can of Vienna Sausages cupped safely in Belle’s hand as if she were holding a delicate jewel.
Belle’s exhaled heavily. “No….” Her cheeks flushed and soaked from her somber tears. Belle gazed longingly at the can of Vienna Sausages. “I just miss him.”
Thanks for doing this photo with me. It was a treat. :D
That's a result of an experiment with a 31mm macro extension ring. It's not that good. 21mm was great but 31mm sucks a bit. I guess I was at this point before, I just forgot what the problem was.
