Sunrise - Amanecer

Barcelona

 

A couple of pelicans fly just off the East End shoreline of Galveston Island. The day was stormy and the mist lifted for just a couple of minutes to reveal this tall sailing ship – the Elissa, about to enter the Ship Chanel from the Gulf; in the foreground some debris washes up on a rocky, submerged promontory. Elissa, unlike some tall ships of today, is not a replica, but a survivor. She was built in 1877 during the decline of the “Age of Sail” to fill a niche in maritime commerce. Her working life as a freighter came to an end in Piraeus Harbor, Greece, where she was rescued from the scrap yard by a variety of ship preservationists who refused to let her die. She still sails about 4 times a year in the Gulf of Mexico.

She Drew the Gun - PLAY

   

An abstract made from an everyday scene in suburbia.

🎶 BTS - LIFE GOES ON

  

English translation

 

One day the world stopped

Without any warning

Spring didn’t know to wait

Showed up not even a minute late

Streets erased of footprints

I lie here, fallen to the ground

Time goes by on its own

Without a single apology

 

It looks like rain again today

I’m soaked to the bone

Still won’t stop

Running faster than that cloud of rain

Thought that’d be enough

Guess I’m only human after all

I’m in a world of pain

This cold the world gave to me

Prompts me to press the dust-covered rewind

Dancing off-beat lying on the ground

Once winter comes, let’s exhale

A warmer breath

 

There’s no end in sight

Is there a way out?

My feet refuse to move

Close your eyes for a moment

Hold my hand

To that future, let’s run away

 

Like an echo in the forest

The day will come back around

As if nothing happened

Yeah life goes on

Like an arrow in the blue sky

Another day flying by

On my pillow, on my table

Yeah life goes on

Like this again

 

Let me tell you with this song

People say the world has changed

But thankfully between you and me

Nothing’s changed...

Needless to say, I keep her in check

She was a bad-bad, nevertheless (yeah)

Callin' it quits now, baby, I'm a wreck (wreck)

Crash at my place, baby, you're a wreck (wreck)

Needless to say, I'm keeping her in check

She was all bad-bad, nevertheless

Callin' it quits now, baby, I'm a wreck

Crash at my place, baby, you're a wreck

Thinkin' in a bad way, losin' your grip

Screamin' at my face, baby, don't trip

Someone took a big L, don't know how that felt

Lookin' at you sideways, party on tilt

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Some things you just can't refuse

She wanna ride me like a cruise

And I'm not tryna lose

This path is on the north side of the Schuylkill River - right across from Valley Forge National Park.

 

Things looked bleak for Washington's troops in late 1777 when they chose Valley Forge as their winter camp. Supplies were almost non-existent. Major General Nathaniel Greene initially refused Washington's request to become quartermaster, but he was eventually talked into it. By early 1778, droves of cattle, along with wheat, flour, vegetables, and other supplies were all being shepherded along this route from the New England States to supply the army camped across the river just to the left of this picture.

 

That, and the rest, is, as they say, history.

This coin was donated to me during my childhood, by a Belgian friend of my parents, I was fascinated by the hole.

I still find the hole very intriguing. Worth today €0,64!

Ik kreeg deze munt als kind, van een Belgische vriend van mijn ouders, ik was gefascineerd door het gat.

Ik vind het gat nog steeds erg intrigerend. Vandaag €0,64 waard!

When I took this portrait, first I was a bit disappointed to find this fly on the head of this beautiful bearded vulture which refused to leave the bird. But when I later watched the pictures, I found this one was the best of all. It still makes me smile when ever I watch it...

As usual Xojo refused to co-operate, but I persevered and it paid off 😊

After some research folks I found out this was the female of the species, and because I'm so good looking and so charming lol, this is where she looked at me and asked me to be her boyfriend, another huge lol and of course I said yes, how could I refuse such a beauty.

 

I always thank them no matter who or what they are for the privilege they gave me for an image in their home and habitat.

Mike was disappointed that this smart fish refused to take the bait.

we saw this blond male a few times in Mara North Conservancy, while he was in the company of a female of a small pride. Initially she refused to mate with him but we heard afterwards that they were seen while mating.

 

Many thanks for your views, favorites and supportive comments.

No, I just refuse to believe my eyes

In front of me something I can't recognize

You stood beside me all my life

The heart machines are ticking

I can hear the life support pumping

The line between life and death doesn't become any clearer than this

Covered with an oxygen mask

These words will be his last

With the energy he has got left

He turns to me and say

I can not stand by you

Till the end of the world like I said I would do

No, I won't be able to

Help you carry the weight of the world

My time has come

Silent as a butterfly

I'll be flying beside you

Watching above you

Silent as a butterfly

All of a sudden I've lost my strength

Isn't it scary how things can change

Mm, in an instant just like that

Whenever I had questions

You always had the answers

You taught me about life

And the importance of being yourself

And to highly value honesty

How not to lose grip of reality

With both your feet on the ground

I can not stand by you

Till the end of the world like I said I would do

No, I won't be able to

Help you carry the weight of the world

My time has come

Silent as a butterfly

I'll be flying beside you

Watching above you

Silent as a butterfly

You weren't suppose to see me like this

And I'm sorry, sorry

I must leave, it's my turn

But I will see you soon (soon)

I cannot stand by you

Till the end of the world like I said I would do

No, I won't be able to

Help you carry the weight of the world

My time has come

Silent as a butterfly

I'll be flying beside you

Watching above you

Silent as a butterfly

Lyon

Refuser la corruption

Tonight I feel like the world won't miss me

So much to say but there's no one listening

If we're alone are we all together in that

I threw a penny in a well for wishing

Prayed for all the things I think I'm missing

A little time is all I really need

I am doing the best I can with everything I am

Don't you know nobody's perfect

Do you understand how hard I'm trying to do

The best I can

The best I can

A second chance to give you something

It takes a lifetime to come from nothing

I refuse to believe in running away, no

I am doing the best I can with everything I am

Don't you know nobody's perfect

Do you understand how hard I'm trying for you

I am doing the best I can with everything I am

Don't you know I think you're worth it

Do you understand how hard I'm trying to do the best I can

The best I can

I got a picture of what matters and I keep it close to my heart

It's a little faded but so am I

Cause I am doing the best I can with everything I am

Don't you know nobody's perfect

Do you understand how hard I'm trying for you

I am doing the best I can with everything I am

Don't you know I think you're worth it

Do you understand how hard I'm trying to do the best I can

The best I can

The best I can

The best I can

By breaking his word, by refusing the diplomatic route, by choosing war, President Putin has not only attacked Ukraine. He has decided to carry out the most serious attack on peace, on stability in our Europe. To this act of war, we will respond without weakness, with composure, determination and unity.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

 

Please say a prayer for our Little Bungee this day as we have decided to go ahead with another operation in an attempt to help him have a chance at a normal life.

 

As of this juncture, he is dizzy, can't walk straight and refuses food and water.

 

His surgery will attempt to remove a growth causing this unfortunate physical symptom interfering with his life.

 

He is still very young so perhaps he will be able to overcome this infirmary.

 

Thank you all in advance for your prayer and thoughts.

While driving on a new 4 lane road in the countryside, we sighted one of these owls perched on a roadside wall. When we stopped, there was not one, but 3 of them - one of them refused to leave the tree where it was perched and suspect that it is a fledgling.

 

Spotted Owlets are the most common owls in the country and can be heard easily. There are maybe 3-4 families in the university grounds behind my place. The birds are around 20 cms tall and are quite detested by the other birds around. We often see aggressive moves by Bulbuls, Prinia's, Drongoes, Babblers and Parrots against these birds - but many times Owlets stand their ground and rarely fly away.

 

The one thing that surprised me with this sighting is the juvenile / fledgling. As per my own observations, ebird / birds of the world documentation, this is not a breeding period at all. I guess, I need to read up again about their nesting periods.

 

Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

The black-backed jackal (Canis mesomelas) is a canid native to two areas of Africa, separated by roughly 900 km.

 

One region includes the southernmost tip of the continent, including South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. The other area is along the eastern coastline, including Kenya, Somalia, Djibouti and Ethiopia. It is listed by the IUCN as least concern, due to its widespread range and adaptability, although it is still persecuted as a livestock predator and rabies vector.

 

Compared to other members of the genus Canis, the black-backed jackal is a very ancient species, and has changed little since the Pleistocene, being the most basal canine alongside the closely related side-striped jackal. It is a fox-like canid with a reddish coat and a black saddle that extends from the shoulders to the base of the tail.

 

It is a monogamous animal, whose young may remain with the family to help raise new generations of pups. The black-backed jackal is not a fussy eater, and will feed on small to medium-sized animals, as well as plant matter and human refuse. – Wikipedia

Thanks for any likes and comments. I appreciate your support!

Fuji X-E3. What do I do if my "oceanic feeling" won't go away? Will I deny it access to my thinking? Will I say that this is just a survival of a piece of early infantile emotion. Alternatively, will I grant this feeling access to my world and even celebrate it as a way to find union with transcendence, the cosmos from its beginning to its end? You know what? I refuse to decide. This is not an either-or-decision. Both approaches are alive and kicking within me. Deciding this matter is way above me.

When your life seems black

With only darkness in your sight,

 

When the world seems silent

Void of melodies and sounds,

 

And the moon stays hidden

While the stars refuse to shine,

 

Don't despair or give up

For dawn will surely come

 

In the meantime..

Lit up your lanterns, let it float in the sky

Let it brightly shine and bask in it's light

 

Sit back, relax, clear your mind

Allow every worries to drop

with every twinkle of your eyes..

Breathe my dear...you will be fine..

- Miu

  

A beautiful Sunflower refusing to admit it's officially Autumn. They self seed everywhere in the polytunnel and I'm happy to let them grow amongst the vegetables. Goldfinches (and Field mice) appreciate the bounty of seeds in Winter too. This one was about 8ft tall, nearly touching the top of the polythene.

The Sea Refuses No River - Pete Townshend

www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOFyO6IqYk0

 

The sea refuses no river

And right now, this river's banks are blown

The sea refuses no river

Whether stinking and rank

Or red from the tank

Whether pure as a spring

There's no damned thing stops this poem

The sea refuses no river

And this river is homeward flowing

It was the day Winter Holiday ended. Rya sat outside one of the Shadoan estates in the starry-grass field with Kulaan. Her aunt had greeted them at the Hogsmeade house then they arrived back the day before. Since then they had been traveling around with her. Later they would travel to Hogsmeade to meet the other students before they all made the trip back up to the castle.

 

“Duncha t’ink et tis a lil bit odd t’at nae one came looking for us?” She pondered, looking out into the distance. “I mean, we were gone fer days. S’e ‘ad tae ‘ave noticed. T’en.. w’en we got back, t’ere were nae questions?”

 

Kulaan took a breath in and remained silent for a moment. It was rather strange, that could not be denied - and the kindness of the people could be questioned, as his experience at Hogwarts had taught him. Still, the trip had been a welcomed trek down memory lane and he refused to spoil it with a hypothesis. "It's odd . . . " He begun, placing his hand on her knee. The action drew her attention to him and she smiled.

 

" . . . but I don't really care right now." The boy lifted his free hand and let it hover above the grass. "We did what we wanted.”

Tofu only rarely leaves his blanket at this time of year, especially when it's as cold as it is right now. I had hoped to take a more interesting photo of him in the garden today but he refused to follow me outside ...

Refuse to let the darkness win. Just keep being brave.

This was a man who not only wished to be remembered, he also wanted to tell us how. And the Anglican Church, St Andrew's in Wimpole (Cambridgeshire) in this case, totally agreed and offered its services, as she always used to do, to the self-importance of an overbearing noble family. These were people who automatically, without being voted in, were members of Parliament and representing interests no other than their own. So, I will not give the name of this person (d. 1834) who made sure that he was depicted in the robes and with the paraphernalia of the Knights of the Garter. The hard work of real memory, however, must include all those whose presence and contribution is excluded from this monument of political narcissism. Fuji X-E2.

Never mind that the video is black and white, the audio is silent, and the screen flickers like a bad horror movie. Rules say "bolts or other items without the matching socket will be removed"—but what about perfectly fitting connections that refuse to work?

 

This SCART-to-RCA adapter is a shining example of deception—it plugs in smoothly, yet the signals inside are having an existential crisis. The video signal screams in RGB, but the TV only understands composite, leaving us with a washed-out mess. The audio sits quietly, confused and alone, wondering why it wasn’t invited to the party.

 

But hey, it fits, so it stays! Even if it means your movie looks like a ghost story filmed in 1925.

(replaced with different version!)

Heard a bull frog croaking loudly then walked to the other side of a back pool and found this one hiding in the heavy shade as shown in next photo, but a ray of sunlight finally broke through to light it up. Waited several minutes but it never moved and refused to croak while I was watching so left. I'm sure it wanted to continue call for a mate and didn't want to give up its place. Still wanting to get a photo of one croaking, maybe someday. :)
