...I say nay...September is! For many reasons September is an extremely sad month for me...and it is sooooo gorgeous that it makes me appreciate life and the beauty that I see around me. I am filled with emotion in September, and as i walk in Nature's Beauty, I remember the special people who aren't here to walk and talk with me. BUT they do live on...oh, yes, in my heart, always!
I am always appreciative for my dolly friends...the ones who share their lives with me all the time...in their gorgeous photos...and the ones like Sherri, who re-rooted Holly's hair, and Paula, for this beautiful beret, and Ruth for the gorgeous dress. AND everyone who takes the time to comment on my pictures! I thank you ALL! Hugs!
Sorry if I sound mushy...it's the mood! ;)
It is rare to see a blue sky these days in The New Forest.

For some reason, the Tree Swallows didn't really nest in my yard this summer. I have two boxes in the yard. They built a nest in one of them, but not the other. Then, instead of actually nesting, two "families" of Tree Swallows would guard each box, chasing off Bluebirds and House Sparrows, as well as the occasional Blue Jay or Mockingbird. So this summer, I was only able to get two photos of them.
Thanks for Viewing.

For some reason, this and a couple of other pics came out really dark and grainy (I probably screwed up a setting or two again). But, instead of trying to fix it or even trash the pic, I decided to go with it.

The reason for returning to the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Last year I only got a passing glance of this iconic skipper species. This year, lucky enough to see it and to photograph it on the very first day!
The marbachsee was originally built between 1978 and 1982 by the Mümling Water Association, which operates the reservoir, for flood control purposes, but has officially also served as a recreational area since 1986.
The primary reason for building the Marbach Reservoir was flood protection for the towns and villages downstream. Because the Marbach stream has a relatively large catchment area, the Mümling's discharge capacity could easily be exceeded after periods of rain or snowmelt. Since the dam's completion, the Marbach's flow into the Mümling can be controlled.
A small hydroelectric power plant with a capacity of 80 kW was attached to the Marbach Reservoir. At full capacity, the Marbach Reservoir is the largest body of still water in the Odenwald region.
Another reason for constructing the Marbach Reservoir was its use for recreation and leisure. Activities possible there include swimming, boating, windsurfing, sailing, fishing, and hiking.
The Marbach Reservoir is divided into three sections from west to east:
"Bird sanctuary" with a nature reserve island; officially not a bird or nature reserve
Bathing area with a beach, sunbathing lawn, and bathing islands
Surfing and sailing area for boats with a sail area of up to 3.5 m².
Der Marbach-Stausee wurde von 1978 bis 1982 vom Wasserverband Mümling, welcher der Betreiber der Stauanlage ist, ursprünglich zum Hochwasserschutz erbaut, dient aber offiziell seit 1986 auch der Erholung.
Hauptanlass zum Bau des Marbach-Stausees war der Hochwasserschutz der talabwärts liegenden Orte. Da der Marbach ein relativ großes Einzugsgebiet aufweist, konnte nach Regen- oder Schmelzperioden leicht die Abflusskapazität der Mümling übertroffen werden. Seit der Fertigstellung der Talsperre lässt sich der Zufluss des Marbachs in die Mümling kontrollieren.
Der Marbach-Talsperre wurde ein kleines Wasserkraftwerk mit 80 kW Leistung angegliedert. Der Marbach-Stausee bei Vollstau das flächenmäßig größte Stillgewässer des Odenwaldes.
Ein weiterer Grund zur Errichtung des Marbach-Stausees war die Nutzung zu Erholungs- und Freizeitzwecken. Zu dort möglichen Aktivitäten gehören: Baden, Bootfahren, Windsurfen, Segeln, Angeln und Wandern.
Die Fläche des Marbach-Stausees ist von West nach Ost in drei Abschnitte unterteilt: „Vogelschutzgebiet“ mit Naturschutzinsel; offiziell kein Vogel- oder Naturschutzgebiet
"Badebereich" mit Badestrand, Liegewiese und Badeinseln und "Surf- und Segelbereich" für Boote bis 3,5 m² Segelfläche.
For reasons I will never know, this doe stood calmly and watched me as I happily snapped photos (trying to follow the rules, to not look at her directly and to keep my back to her as much as possible. She watched for about 5 minutes before she joined her family, who had already left as soon as I came along.
I shot this early in Spring this year. I think the Oystercatcher was defending his nesting territory. The Eagle was defending himself and trying to eat a fish just caught. Both were not happy
Although this is the longest unmanned international border in the world, don't let that fool ya.
About twenty years ago some enterprising fellows rented an old greenhouse not far from here; they got busy planting tomatoes and...digging a tunnel. Things seemed legit but residents along both sides of the border are vigilant; many months later the crew was nabbed when they emerged on the Washington side.:-)
Soon afterward powerful surveillance cameras and infrared detectors were installed; you can be sure I was noticed today...
Happy Fourth to our long-standing neighbors (note the spelling in honor of the day). May we always be friends...

Anh biết mà
Em chẳng cần
Chỉ là cái cớ mà thôi
Nhưng dù sao cũng thật tuyệt :)
Cảm ơn anh thật nhiều
Ngủ một giấc thật ngon
Anh nhé
Vậy là em lại không làm được nữa rồi
Liệu khi anh giở cuốn sách ấy ra,anh có nhớ đến em không?
Có những đồ vật bạn quý,chả có gì trị gì cả.Chỉ là,người ấy đã từng cầm qua thôi :))
I “Love The Rain” for plenty of reasons, of course. In this instance for the beauty, richness and the way it’s combined with the Sunshine after this passing storm. The air got muggy with heat but the beauty was intensified when both rain and sunshine simultaneously landed on the pedals of this beauty few roses. Thanks for viewing and any comments you might leave any of my captures, Have a great weekend.
Winter is almost over now
I spent most of the year
Dreading you
You are a curse that always
Lasts about 2 to 3 months
Though, each year I'm alive
Your visits grow shorter
You remind me of death
Everything will leave us in time
All living entities have an Expiration
Not all dates are readable or Predictable
But winter comes and takes so much away from us.
It is hard to even appreciate Autumn
When you think about
All of the beauty dying.
All of the colors drying out.
And the Withering…
The challenge to find beauty
In less expected places.
The air, although it seems, crisp at first, becomes
Far more chilling, and intolerable.
The greater the years I am alive,
The more brutal it feels.
It gets to feeling like
I have no skin at all.
But now, I realize
Spring is actually coming.
Spring is a hopeful time yet
Will I ironically miss the dread?
I feel remorse for the fact that
I have no excuse to stay
Inside, isolated, and depressed.
This feels much more like my
Genuine human state.
I cannot resist the world in Spring when life is reborn
I literally have no reasons left
To not go outside.
The experience of the world is
Waiting for me.
Am I ready?

Happy Smile on Saturday! I had this yard sign painted for me when I first moved to Sebring, FL in 2006. Now it's here in Orlando FL with us ... remembering the reason for the season always! God bless you! and Merry CHRISTmas!
Outnumbering residents, the town of Hanksville, Utah has many vehicles, trailers and boats, often abandoned. This boat was once someone's pride and joy. For some reason, it was stranded in a forsaken trailer park. When I see something like this, I always wonder what the story is. Did the owner buy a new boat and leave the old one to die?
The reason for the get-together on the fingerpost was a small cup containing nuts & seeds was fastened to the back of the post.
Time for some Asylum G ness, Ssshhhh... and I along with the ProjectMayhems met up again with AndyK and first time meet of Cowboy55 and Kreigraff9 great company and look forward to more joint adventures.
This was one of my main reasons for wanting to see this place , a great room and backdrop for infinite curiousness.
I was going to post this in the Looking Close... on Friday! group theme, Fluffy, but decided against it for some reason. Looking at it again today, I'm not sure why. They are pretty fluffy. Ah well, I'll try to do better with the next theme. :)
There are many reasons to go to the rural parts of Britain for a holiday, but beauty, peace and wonderful days out might be the most important.
I have far too many photos from our UK holiday in 2018, so I thought I would do what we all fear most of all, make a lovely collection of my holidaysnaps to show you.
But it was too many, so this is just a few glimpses to things we did in Lake District that I haven't alreaddy posted.
The main photo is from Eskdale. Eskdale is a glacial valley and civil parish in the western Lake District National Park, west of the Hardknott Pass. We are heading for the tiny village of Boot.
There are more photos in the first comment.
I arranged them like this...
which do you prefer, colour or b&w?
I like them both for different reasons...
THANX, M, (*_*)
Have you ever in your Life Encountered a Scene that you just thought was unreal or felt Dream Like? ---- One of those scenes that if you talked to your friends about it they just wouldn't understand, A Scene you wish you only had a Picture of to show the Sheer Power and the Beauty off! ---- Well this is my Example of one of those Scenes! ---- At this Moment you could feel the positivity in the Day, the Power of the Waves crashing into the Rocks fueled the power inside of me, the Light was feeding my sense of Hope and Happiness for Life! ---- This is why i have named this image "The Reason"
Due to a couple of reason I don't get out much with my camera these days.
But, I still love photography.
I go on a walk in a nearby park almost every day. Consequently, most of my recent images are from there.
I'm beginning to feel like the "leaf guy".
This is one from today's walk, shot with a Lensbaby Velvet 28. Processed in Lightroom Classic and Nik 6 Color Efex.
I need to get out more...
'Why must you shed such tender tears,
In the evening of your years?
No other love could stem the tide,
Of the loneliness I hide.
Open your heart and let me live,
All the promises I could give.
The sun and moon and all the stars,
They bow down to you,
Whenever you pass.
In a world of fading sadness,
An emerald ring, a photograph.
That look in your eyes, the brush of your cheek,
These are the moments in life that I seek.
No reason or rhyme, no presence of mind,
Just a dance to the music of time.'

Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
The more propeller blades a plane has, the easier it is to capture a full prop circle. This Mustang has a 4-bladed prop, so it only needs to make a quarter turn during the exposure to look like a full circle. It's not quite complete in this shot, but very nearly.
If you look closely, just beyond the red and white squares at the nose, one of the exhaust stubs is hanging loose - the aircraft lost a couple during the flight, for reasons that have yet to be published.
The aircraft is pictured on final approach to land at Duxford.
I often debate giving Bryton a makeover. It's been a couple years.
Then I log him in and I'm like "LOL NOPE. 1097987% WOULD BANG!"

(so much better in large size..)
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found out a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found out a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is You
I've found out a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
There are many reasons why one might decide to become fleet of foot. However, I think a large crack in the Earth right behind you might be all the encouragement I needed.
