"When you are so overwhelmed
and need to get away,
I will be there with open arms
so we can run away together"

Thanks so much for all the support! 😊
In a small outdoor art gallery in Tbilisi, Georgia, I found this large print protecting another piece of art from the elements.
This is Piper's Hill and Dodderhill Commons, also known as Hanbury Woods. When the cattle and sheep freely grazed amongst the trees it helped to keep the forest floor open and free from saplings and too much undergrowth. Now, in order to protect the 'veterans', some of the oldest trees in the county, from competition, the Worcester Wildlife Trust manage the woodland to stop it choking up.
As one shepherd said to the other - lets get the flock out of here.
On a trip to the Isle of Skye a few years ago I spent the night at the "Tan Hill Inn" Britain's highest pub at 1,732 feet (528m) above sea level. And of course it snowed during the night.
Being on a motorbike made leaving a bit tricky - it was mid afternoon before the road was passable.
Shepherd's and sheep farmers have a hard job at the best of times but snow just makes it worse.

Though we found a number of colorful birds during our recent travels along the Texas coast, we also encountered our share of brown feathered feathered friends. Starting with yesterday's post of the clapper rail I'll present a few of these brunette birdies.
From the Audubon Field Guide: "From eastern Mexico to northern Colombia, this plain gray-brown thrush is very common in lowland habitats, including parks and gardens. In recent years it has become a regular visitor to southernmost Texas, especially in winter, and it has even nested there a number of times. It was formerly called Clay-colored Robin."
We saw a few of these thrushes during a previous visit to the Rio Grande Valley a few years ago but I didn't manage any decent shots. So I'm fairly pleased to get this one.
She built the nest in this clump of honeysuckle. The babies are gone now but it was exciting to see the activity.
Following the previous shot and being in a high traffic area the Red-Tailed Hawk tried flying with the catch but as it was too heavy did finally manage to drag it into some marsh reeds. I know the image may be disturbing to some but it is the reality of nature.
Thank you for viewing.
This is Butterfly Bay (Te Awa Mokihi in Maori) where for centuries canoes landed with their catch of fish for the village nearby. The red mud was mixed with shark oil to make a protecting paint for the body.
You can visit the B&W version if you prefer it :-)
Edit: As with many of my photos I have adjusted colour and contrast back to the way it looked when I took it rather than what the camera thought it should look like.

celebrating world ocean day!
it's time to save our oceans from plastic waste and protect the sea flora fauna
Relentless waves, in ceaseless march they come,
Each crest a tale of time, each crash a hum.
Against the shore they hurl their might,
With endless rhythm, day and night.
They dance in harmony, a symphony of sound,
Echoing through the sands, the sea's profound.
Their fury whispers secrets old,
Stories of sailors, mysteries untold.
With every surge, they sculpt the land,
Shaping cliffs and shores with gentle hand.
But underneath their tranquil guise,
Lies a power that could mesmerize.
They carry tales from distant lands,
And treasures lost beneath the sands.
In their embrace, the weary find reprieve,
As they ebb and flow, a timeless weave.
Relentless waves, in eternal chase,
A reminder of nature's boundless grace.
They teach us lessons of strength and strife,
And the beauty found in the rhythm of life.

The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum at night in Chinatown in Singapore. I found this historic Buddhist Temple to be most amazing.

Now protected as a site of natural beauty, these trees are an alluring sight along the coast road to Santa Pola.
Nutmeg recently dug this on out from under the fridge. It's been missing for a while. :)
Happy Caturday! Cats with toys!
The white rhinoceros or square-lipped rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) is the largest extant species of rhinoceros. It has a wide mouth used for grazing and is the most social of all rhino species.
Despite its name the white rhino is not actually white at all, its skin is grey in colour.
The white rhino is a grazer and can often be found grazing on grass in the open plains. They need to feed on a daily basis but can survive for 4 to 5 days without water.
Populations of white rhino have recovered from an all time low of around 100 in 1895 to the current wild population of around 20,170. However, an increase in rhino poaching since 2008 is once again threatening the total population.
The two Grey Crowned Cranes seem to be protecting the White Rhino who was busy grazing. Photographed during a photography safari on an early morning game drive in the open savannah plains of Africa.
This is a photograph of my puppy, "Spanky" (A.K.A. The Spankster) Standing guard over a baby Fur Seal he found in my backyard. He refused to leave its side until he was sure it was safe.
What a hero he is!
That's My story and I am sticking to it!
No, that is not his brother "Loki" who is not a fur seal and isn't really that fat!
Why would any of you even think such a thing!
You all are just jealous that you don't have a hero dog like the "Spankster"!
Photo taken in my backyard, which has been overrun by baby fur seals. Polk County, Florida.
Early sunrise glinted off blowing netting we have applied to most of our windows to protect flying birds.
I loved the patterns (especially viewed myopically or with my nearsighted eye). Bit of an abstract; he background blue is another part of the house.
We want our little finches and sparrows to quit hitting the windows with their heads! It's tragic if they do.
I just found this suitable quote on the About page of James Drummond and it resonated strongly during these strange times:
“The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable." —Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
