There are lots of poppies popping up all around at the moment. I thought this group at the end of the driveway looked rather wonderful in the sunlight.
This morning it was summer
By noon a cold front building
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
I got to find some shelter
'Cos any minute now
it's gonna blow
It's gonna blow
But I don't mind the rain
So strike me once again:
I've got nothing to lose
And it looks like we are in for stormy weather
with death and destruction coming through
Oh, look out there she blows
Now everybody knows:
Stormy weather always makes me think of you
And watch out 'cos the storm is coming through
But you're so still and silent
Whilst everything's dissolving
Melting away, melting away
But I don't mind the rain
So strike me once again
I got nothing to lose
Yeah, it looks like we are in for stormy weather
with death and destruction coming through
Oh, look out there she blows
Now everybody knows:
Stormy weather always makes me think of you
Oh and it looks like we are in for stormy weather
with death and destruction coming through
Oh, look out there she blows
Now everybody knows:
Stormy weather always makes me think of you
And watch out 'cos this storm is coming through
Yeah, watch out 'cos the storm is coming through

Since this is something I have been struggling with lately, how do you stay inspired? How do you keep fresh ideas flowing?

Africa’s largest kingfisher, the Giant Kingfisher (Megaceryle maxima), rules the rivers with its shaggy crest and thunderous dives. Males wear a chestnut breast band, females an orange belly, both masters of the hunt. From crabs to fish, nothing escapes its powerful beak. And when nesting season comes, they carve tunnels up to 8.5 meters into riverbanks true engineers of the wild. Would you dare to buzz past this river monarch?

I've decided to try to do a series of photos that I'm titling "Profile." This is the first one I have taken, which is a shot of the really cool King minifigure from the CMF Series 13.
Flickr keep saying my profile pic is too small, so I made a flickr profile pic for myself, with my beloved P67II. :P
Shot with K5IIs + 77mm ltd.
In my inworld profile, I concluded myself : "I'm so many things to different people, but I consider myself a pixel poet, a gardener."
In my little garden, I have grown different plants: little poppies, daisies, roses, lavenders, forget-me-not, just to name a few.
At the beginning, I planted alone. After a while, some people walked past my garden and saw the beautiful flowers. Most were kind to compliment how beautiful they are, very few would stay and ask if we could grow a plant together. Usually I would politely refuse. I know gardening is not for everyone. It takes lots of patience, love, cooperation and communication. Many people want the beautiful flowers only, not the difficult process to achieve the beauty.
Now and then I would agree to try when I see people showing initiative and interest. At first, they visited the garden regularly. We chatted, we shared love with the flowers.
After a while, their lives got busy. Some would kindly tell you that they can't continue cos they have other things to do. I thanked them for the participation, and let them go. I took care of their flowers.
Some just didn't show up without a word. I was upset, yet, I let them go too. We know gardening is not for everyone, right? So, I looked after their flowers.
A few of them showed up now and then. But everytime they were in the garden, they were being absent-minded. They watered the wrong flowers. We know gardening is not for everyone, right? After a few times, I asked if they would like to continue planting. They smiled and said yes. But then, they started to show up at the garden less and less. Sometimes I had to call them and see if they still wanted to grow the flowers. It would be okay if they were not available. They insisted yes.
Two weeks, three weeks, four weeks passed. There was once I went out for more fertilizers. I walked past the garden not far from mine. A face looked familiar to me. Oh, him. I remembered that he worked there for sometime. But the owner of the garden was on business, so he was looking for something to do to kill time. He saw my flowers so nice, so decided to garden at my place. I wondered if he would have enough time to manage the flowers here and there. He said not sure but he would like to try.
He was happily excitedly chatting with the owner while removing the weeds. I looked at them for a bit, didn't say a word, then I left.
I stared at the flowers we grew and all other flowers in the garden. Sorrow surged. I cried under a big sunflower. The flowers were abandoned.
The next day, my friends came. They visited regularly to water our flowers as usual. They saw me sleeping under the big sunflower. They cried. "Why wastes your soul on flowers that were discarded? They were meant to be grown together with other gardeners." Without an hour, they threw away all those flowers that were no longer wanted.
The garden became empty but came with some freshness. "We are not the best gardeners, but we knew that only when we have the willingness to do it together, there is a chance to keep them growing."

long-legs and extremely wide-wingspans, they seem to be
MUCH BIGGER than the great-blue-herons and great-egrets]

they are REALLY, REALLY LOUD! Fun to hear. LOL]
