In youth from rock to rock I went,
From hill to hill in discontent
Of pleasure high and turbulent,
Most pleased when most uneasy;
But now my own delights I make,
My thirst at every rill can slake,
And gladly Nature's love partake
Of Thee, sweet Daisy!
Wordsworth
Not the best photo, and I wish I could have gotten a different angle, or had a different lens. But I still like the overall composition. HWho would have guessed they are such close friends... I guess this is pretty common, the birds like to build nests out of reach of the Gators, because many nest robbers then are in reach of the gators... Home protection!!!
I don't think I would be able to manage too many sunrise shoots during the summer months, I thought I was having a bad dream when the alarm went off at 3:00am this morning...😳
Once I got on location at Beachy Head there wasn't a cloud in the sky, however the very calm high tide did provide the most amazing sense of calm...😊
Thanks for viewing and take care :-)
According to an old rural superstition, if honeysuckle is growing around the door of a house, it will bring good luck to the inhabitants and deter evil spirits from entering.
Somewhere in the desert mountains near the laying down rock man there are mountains that resemble the Alabama hills. Wandering into desert lion territory, alone, there's always that small shred of doubt when armed only with a tripod... on whether or not that would do much of anything against an apex predator in fading light as you get lost trying to get back to your land cruiser. Even then the canvas a pretty flimsy sense of self belief in protection. At the end of the day, anything can take us at any time, and each day is simply a blessing to suffer the human condition.
Many people live in their own little world and ignore the big problems like climate protection, war and social injustice!

I knew this concertina packaging would come in handy so glad I held on to it, but unfortunately the red wine bottle it was protecting is no longer around (for some reason) so I had to substitute it with a bottle of red grape juice instead. For Crazy Tuesday.

An American Avocet chick trying to get under the wings of its parent for protection where two other siblings were already in there.
American Avocet parents keep their chicks under their wings to warm them up, also to protect them from predators when present.
The Pigeon Point Lighthouse has stood proud and (115 feet) tall since 1872, the year it began to guide mariners from its perch on a 35-foot cliff in Pescadero.
Each lighthouse has its own distinctive light pattern which makes it identifiable to passing ships. Ship captains carry a "light list" of the various patterns, and thus can use the signal to help determine their location. As the Pigeon Point lighthouse's Fresnel lens rotated around the light source, it produced a flash pattern of light every 10 seconds. An automated Aero beacon was installed in 1972, but the 10-second light pattern is still maintained today.
Each November the original Fresnel lens is lit on the anniversary of it's first lighting.

A blue-billed white tern, or manu o Kū, tends to his one-week-old downy hatchling clutching to the branch of a monkeypod tree. The manu-o-Kū is an arboreal nesting pelagic seabird that doesn’t actually fabricate a nest; instead, it uses a flat or hollow or fork in the tree to keep the single egg from rolling away. The hatchling uses its strong, clawed, semipalmate feet to cling to the tree branch on which it will balance until fledging. Parents alternate brooding duties until a week or two after hatching when the chick can thermoregulate and be left unattended for up to several hours. Adults fish up to 120 miles offshore and return with fresh provisions rather than consuming then regurgitating a meal for their chick. This avian behavior was known to Polynesian voyagers and other seafarers. A landmass that may be out of view over the horizon could be located by observing and following these birds conveying their catch back to their nestling.
