Taken @ Chesapeake Bay

I've been crushed beaten down

And I'm frozen to the ground

Like a fool I've trusted you

Still I'm hopelessly in love

I do appreciate you all ❤️

This area is really neglected, with the factory walls covered in graffiti and Buddleia left growing from the most unlikely places in amongst the brickwork. In time it'll break it apart as it grows.

But I love it and recently I took a walk with my partners' two Retrievers through town and several of the outlying villages. It was just the kind of day to keep on walking, so we did and what great company they were!

Oski, the older of the two stopped about 15 times on the way back, refusing to move, but later on I encouraged him to only take short breathers before walking on and it was as though he heard and understood me!

When we got home I traced our route on Google maps and found that we'd walked for 12 miles.

Self Lifted

Marbled white butterfly - Melanargia galathea.

Refusing to come out of the shelter of the long grass. This is a first for me, never actually come across this beautiful butterfly before and it is an absolute stunner! I do hope I get to see one again and get a better shot of it, the upper wing pattern is a work of art.

With all these happening around the world, and near us, i have to share this <3

Wray Castle is a Victorian neo-gothic building at Claife in the English county of Cumbria. The house and grounds have belonged to the National Trust since 1929, but the house has only recently opened to the public on a regular basis. Wikipedia...

The Castle is quite near Ambleside and the grounds look over Lake Windermere, the largest of the Lakes in Cumbria. UK

Addendum;

This is not a real castle but a private house built in in the Gothic Revival Style in 1840. It was built for Dr James Dawson, a retired Liverpool surgeon, and is now owned by the National Trust. The house was built using his wife’s inheritance from a gin fortune. Apparently she took one look at the house when it was finished, and refused to live in it.

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.

I am no fan of garden ornaments, but when the owner of this house invited me in to have a look at their latest addition, I could hardly refuse.

I was also glad I did. As she explained that it had been made from washed up driftwood found on the beaches. It makes it a far superior garden ornament.

Better viewed large and thank you for yuur favourites.

For about a week now, Idaho has refused to come in when a meal is served. Either Sally or I (depending whose turn it is) have to go outside to carry him in from the outdoor enclosure. He purrs the whole time as I wrestle with relocking the pen with a cat on my shoulder, and doesn't seem to have anything wrong with him to explain this behavior.

Stack of old magazines and sales catalogs, ready for the refuse and then be reincarnated as new pages.

I couldn't even see the property the collection was for! As seen in Essex.

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

Some days it is a heroic act just to refuse the paralysis of fear and straighten up and step into another day.

I bought tulips for last week's CC Challenge but they refused to open in time. They still haven't opened much and now the leaves are turning brown. Time to buy some more. : )

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. :)

After being shut out the night before by a stubborn storm that refused to break up over Jasper National Park, we had our fingers crossed as we headed back to Maligne Lake the following morning. We all seemed pretty happy with our blue hour shots, but as sunrise approached, it really began to look like we might not see the sun at all that day. I think we had all resigned ourselves to the fact that we were looking at another completely gray day when I glanced up an noticed the faintest wisp of pink on one of the clouds. Sure enough, the sun broke through just enough to throw some fleeting color across the the clouds that were continuing to roll in from the West. I think Tom and I are the ones in our group who really have a problem standing still during moments like this. Both of us went off in all directions at once, and both of us had two camera bodies for just such an occasion. Leaving my D800 on the tripod, I took off running with my D750 and cranked up the ISO a bit while I looked for other comps in addition to what I was getting down at the lakeside.

As I was racing back to my spot in front of the boat house, this puddle caught my eye and I spent the next few minutes trying to shoot if from several different angles with the 14-24. There have been times where I have doubted my run and gun approach, but I usually reserve it for situations where I feel like I've got a decent shot on the tripod before setting of to see what I might be missing maybe just a few steps away. If I had stayed camped out where I was I would have missed this particular shot along with quite a few others. We ALL gave in to temptation two nights before when we had a perfectly good view of the late afternoon sun up at the Opabin Prospect, but curiosity got the better of us and we full out RAN back up the trail to get more shots of the larches behind us. So I think there is something to be said for making sure you KEEP MOVING once you believe you have a decent shot...especially when you might only have another few minutes of good light.

This being said, it helps to be able to TRUST the guys who you are shooting next to. Maybe leaving the camera on the tripod while you run like a maniac in all directions should be reserved for those times when you actually know the people around you...or you might not have a camera when you get back. :)

Driving at home, crossing this bridge, we couldn't refuse another shot. It's always great to stand at the feet of this giant.

Thank you for watching, kind regards,

Refused - New Noise

As I was focusing on three raindrops that refused to fall from a tree branch near my balcony.

I was reminded of this song sung by B.J. Thomas in 1969.

"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" is a song written by the great Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the 1969 film "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid".

The uplifting lyrics describe somebody who overcomes his troubles and worries by realising that "it won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me." (Source: Wikipedia)

Raindrops keep falling on my head

But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red

Crying's not for me

'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining

Because I'm free

Nothing's worrying me.

RAINDROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY HEAD, 2025

Mientras estaba enfocando tres gotas de agua que se negaban a caer de la rama de un árbol cerca de mi balcón.

Me acordé de esta canción que cantaba B.J. Thomas en 1969.

"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" Es una canción escrita por el gran Burt Bacharach y Hal David para la película de 1969 "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (En España, el título se tradujo como "Dos Hombres y Un Destino".

La letra inspiradora describe a alguien que supera sus problemas y preocupaciones al darse cuenta de que "no pasará mucho tiempo hasta que la felicidad salga a saludarme". (Fuente: Wikipedia)

This kitty refused to make eye-contact and did an excellent camouflage job but I had to take a picture anyway .-)
