This is installment number 2 of the Billy Joel collection. It's amazing how Billy captured every day scenarios that anyone can relate to.
This song is dedicated to everyone that is being told what is best for them or that they are doing something wrong.
It's important to have strong convictions and stay true to yourself. While it's great to receive advice from others, ultimately it's up to you to make your own decisions in order to achieve true happiness. Failure to do so can lead to feelings of regret, which can be a burden to bear on your own. It's crucial to follow your dreams and pursue your passions in life, as this is the surest way to live a fulfilling and satisfying life.

Lyrics
Got a call from an old friend we used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold a house, bought a ticket to the west coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
I don't need you to worry for me 'cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
Go ahead with your own life leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
(I never said you had to)
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
(I never said)
I still belong (still belong)
Don't get me wrong (don't get me wrong)
You can speak your mind but not on my time
They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody else
Oh, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
Either way it's okay, you wake up with yourself
I don't need you to worry for me 'cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
Go ahead with your own life leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
(I never said you had to)
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
(Gf circumstance)
I still belong (still belong)
Don't get me wrong (don't get me wrong)
You can speak your mind but not on my time
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
Go ahead with your own life leave me alone
A poorly named morph - uncommon though - of the locally migratory Grey-Bellied cuckoo. Hepatic meaning relating to the liver (like Hepatitis), but here it is used to denote the liver-red color of the bird!
This is a brood parasitic cuckoo that appears during the rainy season and early winters. The bird is quite easily heard due its distinctive call. It lays its eggs in other birds nests like those of Bulbuls and Tailorbirds.
Y'day we witnessed a very interesting feeding frenzy of over 15-20 species of birds in a small 25 sq meter area in the countryside. It was at an intersection of 3 roads - single lane - on a forest road. 100's of moths were coming out of the ground and all the birds were in a frenzy to grab them for breakfast! We were too close (in fact in the middle of it by accident) and hence couldn't get many shots!. This shot was taken during the hunt when this bird landed close to us and grabbed a mouthful of moths before flying away.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback Much appreciated.

Oh, why can't I be what you need?
A new improved version of me
But I'm nothing so good, no, I'm nothing...
Just bones, a lonely ghost burning down songs
Of violence, of love, and of sorrow
I beg for just one more tomorrow!
Where you hold me down, fold me in
Deep deep deep in the heart of your sins
I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two and each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life!
But you don't see me, you don't
Here I'm pinned between darkness and light
Bleached and blinded by these nights
Where I'm tossing and tortured till dawn
By you, visions of you, then you're gone
The shock bleeds the red from my face
When I hear someone's taken my place
How could love be so thoughtless, so cruel?
When all, all that I did was for you...
I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two and each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life!
But you don't see me, you don't
I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two and each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life!
But you don't see me, you don't
I'd break in two over you
I'd break in two over you
Over you
I'd break in two
I would break in two for you
Now you see me
Now you don't
Now you need me
Now you don't
I wanted to work with this donut in the snow one more time, but from a different angle. This has the forest across Trout Lake in the background with the reflections touching the frosted area instead of the snow.
As well, the rock and log within the donut are much more prominent making them more crucial to the success of the photo. And finally, although it is a winter shot, there is warmth to be found in the colors of the forest such as the subtle reds.
I'm posting this image to my Flickr gallery with a story... It was taken by my daughter. Its one of her first images. She is on the autism spectrum and has always struggled to express herself in ways that other people can relate to. This image she made fills me with a whole wave of emotion. I took her with me for a walk at a park one day and gave her a point and shoot camera to use since I was carrying mine. It was completely un-coached, just a girl on a walk with her dad at a large park in Seattle. Shortly after that we moved and I packed the camera away. Just the other day I found it in a box, the SD card still in it... So I downloaded them. The images she brought home are so expressive and amazing it takes my breath away. I'm just sharing this one image because it gives me hope. And, I hope it speaks to you as well. You are not alone. God bless.

Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
I choose a light source and/or subject, set my camera for a long exposure (typically around 4 seconds), focus on my subject and push the shutter button. When the shutter opens I move the camera around with my hands...large, sweeping, dramatic movements. And then I will literally throw the camera several feet up into the air, most times imparting a spinning or whirling motion to it as I hurl it upward. I may throw the camera several times and also utilize hand-held motion several times in one photo. None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.

For a generation of viewers, the familiar “beep, beep” of Warner Brothers’ cartoon Roadrunner was the background sound of Saturday mornings.
(Although commonly quoted as "meep meep", Warner Brothers, the current owner of all trademarks relating to the duo, lists "beep, beep" as the Road Runner's sound, along with "meep, meep." )
Despite the cartoon character’s perennial victories over Wile E. Coyote, real-life coyotes present a real danger to Roadrunners; Coyotes can reach a top speed of 43 miles an hour—more than twice as fast as roadrunners.
Roadrunner can outrace a human, kill a rattlesnake, and thrive in the harsh landscapes of the Desert Southwest. Roadrunners reach two feet from sturdy bill to white tail tip, with a bushy blue-black crest and mottled plumage that blends well with dusty shrubs. As they run, they hold their lean frames nearly parallel to the ground and rudder with their long tails.
Roadrunners have evolved a range of adaptations to deal with the extremes of desert living. Like seabirds, they secrete a solution of highly concentrated salt through a gland just in front of each eye, which uses less water than excreting it via their kidneys and urinary tract. Moisture-rich prey including mammals and reptiles supply them otherwise-scarce water in their diet. Both chicks and adults flutter the un-feathered area beneath the chin (gular fluttering) to dissipate heat.
Roadrunners eat poisonous prey, including venomous lizards and scorpions, with no ill effect, although they’re careful to swallow horned lizards head-first with the horns pointed away from vital organs. Roadrunners can also kill and eat rattlesnakes, often in tandem with another roadrunner: as one distracts the snake by jumping and flapping, the other sneaks up and pins its head, then bashes the snake against a rock. If it’s is too long to swallow all at once, a roadrunner will walk around with a length of snake still protruding from its bill, swallowing it a little at a time as the snake digests.
Based on banding records, the oldest roadrunner was at least 7 years old.

This piece of national architecture of 19th Century relates to south of Polavshchyna and that as of nowadays has disappeared. It was built in 70th of 19th Century.
The house from Revasivka village has never been reconstructed since it had been built. Its window frames were re-made in the mid-50th of 20th Century. The walls are decorated with clay of different color; inside there is a carved cupboard, painted trunk and national pictures in interior.
The house from Revazivka village was discovered in 1976 by an architect Lukianchuk V.D. and restored in the Museum in 1977-1978.
Few words about Revazivka village, as it were never mentioned in modern sources. In the middle of 19th Century, this village was called Novakivka and belonged to Ploshchanska volost of Poltava povit in Poltava hubernia.
It was a village of a proprietor, with 179 souls in 18 yards. Officially, Revazivka is called sloboda. There were 219 inhabitants in 44 homesteads.
Nowadays, the village of Revazivka has joined to Grekopavlivka village. It now relates to Stovbynska village council in Novosanzharskyi district of Poltavska Region.
The house is of two rooms (a home, a mudroom), of combined structure. A two-room house could be met only in poor villages belonging to proprietors. A three-room house was more traditional for Poltava area.
The house is built on piles. Above the windows, piles are covered with shingles. A longitudinal ceiling beam and upper parts of piles have tips on sidewall adjacent to the stove, so forming reasonable overlap of the roof. A lumber lay on tips to support auxiliary beams of the roof. Ceiling comprises ceiling beam and slyzhni. The slyzhni are surfaced by caber, and then covered with clay.
The four-slope roof of the house is low, supported by rafters and covered with cane sheaves, as there were a lot of cane in the waterlog river valley near Revazivka.
Combines, log and framework structure of a national dwelling on south Poltavshchyna was typical of this region, poor in building wood.
Especially interesting was filling of this house’s framework walls: there were twiggen with mullein. This grass grew high near Revazivka, and had strong stems. The local say: “Even shipworms never eat mullein”.
This is a house of two rooms (a home and a mudroom) with framework and log walls. Under the windows, walls are framework: horizontal hlytsi are nailed to vertical piles, with osier between them. Above the windows, planks of three parts are fixed to piles. A longitudinal ceiling beam is fixed thereto and two transverse ones (one in the home, another – in the mudroom). The longitudinal beam and tops of planks have overlaps on sidewall, adjacent to the stove, so forming reasonable overlap of the roof. Inside and outside, the house is clayed and whitewashed, except for back wall, only clayed. The house stays now on concrete basement.
Area – 53.92 square meters (5.15 x 10.47).
Хата з с. Ревазівка, Новосанжарського р-ну, Полтавської обл.
Пам′ятка традиційного народного будівництва XIX століття в південній Полтавщині, яких на даний момент в регіоні не існує. Побудована в 70 – ті роки ХІХ століття.
Хата з с. Ревазівка від її існування не перебудовувалася. У середині 50-х років ХХ століття перероблені віконні рами. Підводка стін кольоровими глинами, різьблений мисник, мальована скриня, народний живопис в інтер’єрі.
Хата с. Ревазівка виявлена в 1976 році архітектором Лук′янчуком В.Д. і реставрована в Музеї у 1977 – 1978 роках.
Коротко про село Ревазівку, оскільки в сучасних джерелах воно не згадується. Поселення Ревазівка в середині XIX століття називалося Новаківка і належало до Площанської волості Полтавського повіту Полтавської губернії.
Було воно поміщицьким селом і проживало там 179 душ у 18 дворах. Старожили розповідають, що Ревазівкою володів пан Ревазов. У 1926 році Ревазівка офіційно зветься слободою, з числом мешканців – 219, які проживали у 44 господарствах.
Зараз село Ревазівка з’єднане з селом Грекопавлівкою і належить до Стовбинської сільради Новосанжарського району Полтавської обл..
Хата дводільна /хата, сіни/, комбінованої конструкції. Дводільні хати траплялися тут тільки в бідних поміщицьких селах. Традиційно на Полтавщині було тридільне житло.
Хата збудована на сохах. На сохи, вище вікон покладено ощіп. Подовжній сволок та верхні вівнця ощіпу мають з покутнього причілку випуски, утворюючи значний винос даху. На випуски укладено брус, на який спираються наріжники даху. Основу хатньої стелі утворюють сволок і слижні. По слижнях укладено щільно жердини, а зверху шар м’ятої глини.
Чотирисхилий дах хати невисокий, на кроквах. Покриття з очерету, техніка – «парки». Очерету біля Ревазівки росло багато на заболоченій річковій долині.
Комбінована зрубно – каркасна конструкція народного житла південної Полтавщини була характерною для цього регіону, бідного на будівельний ліс.
Особливо цікавим було заповнення каркасу стін даної хати с. Ревазівка: стіни були заплетені коров’яком. Коров′як поблизу Ревазівки ріс високий, з міцним стеблом. «Коров′яка і шашель не бере».
Дводільне житло (хата, сіни). Стіни каркасно – зрубні. До вікон стіни каркасні: до вертикальних сох прибито горизонтальні глиці, між якими всторч заплетена лоза. На сохи, вище вікон, покладео ощіп з трьох вінців. В ощіп врубано подовжній сволок та два поперечні (один у хаті і один у сінях). Подовжній сволок та верхні вінця ощіпу мають випуски з покутнього причілку, утворюючи значний винос даху. Хата ззовні і всередині обмащена і побілена крім задньої, порудованої стіни. Хата встановлена на бетонний фундамент.
Площа - 53,92 м2 (5.15 х 10.47).
The Swiss Way relates the history of Switzerland surrounded by a scenic landscape. The trail was constructed as a joint project of the cantons on the occasion of the 700th anniversary celebrations of the Confederation (1291-1991). It begins on the Rütli Meadow, where the Confederation was founded, and ends in Brunnen in the Swiss Expatriates Square (Platz der Auslandschweizer).

The house relates to the middle 19th Century; its last owner was Kuryk Mykola Vasylovych. The house comprises of three parts – a house, a mudroom and a small house. Its external walls aren’t covered, only strips are painted around its windows and doors. Such strips are specific for houses from Vyzhytskyj and Putylivskyj districts of Chernivtsi Region. Art painting and strips are very distinct decorations for houses of lowland Bukovyna. The house’s joyful interior is created by grapes depicted on the stove, around windows and on pokut (the sacred place of a traditional home). The most widespread patterns in Korytne village are grapes, arrow-wood leaves, hops and crosses on bases.
The house is built of smereka and poplar wood, its area equals to 58.8 square meters.
Хата із села Коритне Вижницького району Чернівецької області
Датується серединою ХІХ ст. Останній власник - Курик Микола Васильович. Складається із трьох частин - хати, сіней і хатчини. Зовні хата не мащена, тільки підведені смуги коло вікон та дверей. Така підводка характерна тільки для хат з Вижницького та Путильського районів Чернівецької області. Характерною декоративною оздобою для хат підгірської Буковини є розпис і підводка. Святковий інтер’єр у великій хаті створює розпис у виноград на печі, коло вікон на покуті. Найбільш поширений розпис у с.Коритному – «виноград», «калиновий лист», «хмелик» та «хрести на постаменті».
Хата з Буковини. Складена вона з кругляка смереки і тополі в прості замки з торцями. До верхів зрубу торці подовжуються і переходять ніби в кронштейни. Дах чотирисхилий, покритий соломою.
Площа споруди – 58,8 кв.м.

It relates to 18th Century. As of the time of transfer to the museum, the house was the oldest in the village and belonged to Oros family. The house has two premises: house and mudroom. It is one of the most ancient types of house planning in Zakarpattia. Walls of the house are constructed with wide oak cut blocks. Its high four-sloping roof is covered with straw.
This house is the oldest Zakarpattia house in our museum. It displays specific features of national building in valley of Tereblia-river and the middle reaches of Tysa River. The house’s area is 35.4 square meters.
Look at the exterior of the hut:

Хата із с. Теребля, Тячівського району Закарпатської області
Датується XVIII ст. На час перенесення до музею хата була найстарішою в селі і належала родині Оросів. Хата дводільна: хата, сіни – є одним із давніх варіантів планування житла на Закарпатті. Стіни хати складені з широких дубових колених брусів. Високий чотирисхилий дах вкритий соломою.
Це найстаріша хата Закарпаття в експозиції нашого музею. Вона розкриває особливості народного будівництва у долині ріки Теребля та середньої течії р. Тиси. Площа хати — 35, 4 кв.м.

This year, the FFF+ monthly challenge of FOTF has changed from 'five images on the fifth' to 'freestyle on the fifth', where each month a member of the group chooses a theme and the image can be a single image, a collage or anything you like as long as it relates to the theme and is uploaded on the fifth of each month.
This month the theme of 'reflection' was chosen by Jenni.
I had several ideas in mind for this wonderful theme but after spending almost the entire month struck down with the flu and still recovering, time and the will to do anything, was not on my side.
I actually wasn't going to post anything at all for this months theme as I didn't feel it was creative enough but the lovely Margaret convinced me to, so thank you so much my dear friend.

OK, this does not relate to the fractal patterns of the sand being located in Colorado, where marijuana is legal, but rather to their origin from mass wasting, a type of erosion due to gravitational slumping of sediment on steep slopes. Moisture seeping into the sand from recent storms influences the rate at which the layers slump down under the orchestration of gravity and wind, producing the unusual patterning. Erosion, the magician...
As a freelancer I can relate to this image, the struggle to make living using antiquated equipment, the long hours and stressful delays.
I made the image in taxi on the way back from a meeting with a potential client on the banks of the Cairo Nile, we were stuck in the mother of all traffic jams, the driver was tired and stressed, I was, for once content as I had eaten fish and concluded what I thought was a successful meeting. Now I look back, the real success was this image, which is one of my favourites.

Conventional photography by definition relates to the surface of things. This is because it is a visual record of light reflected from the surface of things. There are, of course, other forms of photography connected to forms of radiation other than visible light (x-rays e.g.). But in general, our photos show surfaces, not what is underneath. You would need to be told that underneath, just where the silhouette of the WWI soldier stands, the River Ver is crossing the road - in a pipe and still very small. From there, it flows via Redbourn to St. Albans, the Roman city which in antiquity was called Verulamium. And here comes the thing: our minds are not satisfied with surfaces only. Even if surfaces are all we have got visually, we still try to extract "meaning" from the image, that is, we go underneath or "behind" the image. We are built like that. We human beings are extremely good at making associations. We are creators of meaning. Most of us, I guess, would have no problems with connecting the soldier's silhouette with the large lorry to the right and tell a story. It is just not true that we believe only those things we can see. Our world of imagination is more like a dancer using the surface as a playground. Leica M Mono, Voigtlander CS 2.2/50.

And I don't talk shit about you on the internet
Never told anyone anything bad
'Cause that shit's embarrassing, you were my everything
And all that you did was make me fucking sad
So don't waste the time I don't have
And don't try to make me feel bad
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
But I'd have an empty line 'cause you never did
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends
So I shut 'em all out for you 'cause I was a kid

Vincent of Beauvais relates that at this time there was a young cleric at Lyons who had a dream in which he beheld a mountain with a beautiful city standing on the top of it. This city attracted him mightily so that he longed to get there. But between him and the mountain was a river, and in the river he saw twelve men washing their garments. With them was another, different from them, in a shining white robe who was helping them in their task. The cleric asked the stranger who they all were, and He replied that He was Jesus Christ and that those were men doing penance with His aid, and as soon as their robes were clean, they would be able to go on to the city which they all desired, that is, to heaven. Some time later the cleric told his dream to the Bishop of Châlons, who advised him on the strength of it to enter Cîteaux. He accordingly made his way to the woods where the monks were dwelling, and finally found the enclosure of the little monastery. The gate was made of wattles, and there was an iron hammer hanging there for a knocker. When the porter responded to his summons, what was the astonishment of the cleric to recognize him as one of the men in his dream. He also recognized all the other members of the community too, and he was not long in becoming one of them.

History House Museum is a collection of photographic and archival records and historical objects relating to Grey District on the West Coast of New Zealand. The museum opened in the former Grey County Council Chambers in 1996, but the building was deemed unsafe in the event of an earthquake and forced to close in 2017. A new home for the collection is being sought
History House Museum was housed in the former Grey County Council Chambers at 27 Gresson Street, Greymouth. The Grey County Council was formed in 1877, and built the Grey County Council Chambers in 1924. In 1989 the building was vacated when the County Council amalgamated with the boroughs of Greymouth and Runanga and the Greymouth Harbour Board to form the Grey District Council.
The project to turn the empty building into a history museum was instigated by former deputy mayor Kevin Brown, Mayor of Grey Ron Hibbs, and Kevin Beams of Grey District Council. Kevin Brown recruited volunteers from the Lions, family, and local community to fit out the building and assemble a collection. The museum opened in 1996, with Brown as manager. When Brown was elected Mayor in 1998, volunteer Bob Naisbitt took over the running of the museum, along with assistant historian Margaret Mort. By 2013 Margaret Mort and Karen Prendergast were running the History House.

In February 2017 a seismic assessment of the Grey County Council Chambers found it was at only 10 per cent of the new building standard (NBS), well below the 34 per cent required for a public building; the standards had been revised following the 2010–2011 Christchurch earthquakes. The cost to strengthen the building would be $142,000, and it is in a flood zone. The museum was closed and the archives moved to the Grey District Library. Several options were pursued: eventually incorporating the museum into a "Discovery Centre", disbanding the collection, or moving to another space – the former Dick Smith premises at 130 Mackay Street at a cost of $50,000/year – in conjunction with an iSite visitor centre.
The location of the museum (at the other end of town from the railway station where most tourists arrived) and the lack of signage were blamed for the low visitor numbers: about 6–8 people a day.[3][8] The Greymouth iSite manager Phil Barnett claimed tourists were simply not interested in its collections.
In any event the Protected Objects Act and Public Records Act required the collection to be catalogued before moving, at a cost of over $100,000. One consultant suggested the bulk of the collection was not "of sufficient merit" to be archived. The archives at the museum also needed to be properly stored; the Council Chambers are unsuitable and in a flood zone. There is no regional archive on the West Coast, although Shantytown near Greymouth had offered to host one.

After a stocktake of the collection, items relevant to other West Coast districts were sent to the Hokitika Museum and Coaltown Museum. The museum operated from a pop-up space in the former Dick Smith premises, operating Wednesday to Sunday afternoons from 20 December 2017. The space had to close in July 2018 but had 1200 visitors in the first month and 9000 visitors in total, compared to the 1200 visitors a year at its former home.
In September 2018, the Council budgeted $140,000 to strengthen the Gresson Street building, but resolved to move the museum to a new discovery centre combining a library and museum some time in the future. The cost to reopen History House was estimated at $455,000, and just to make the building safe would be $170,000: even strengthened the former Council building would still have problems with climate control, fire safety, and storage. The former manager Kevin Brown took back his extensive photograph collection in protest at the lack of progress in strengthening the building. In 2020 the building was emptied and the collection moved into two climate-controlled shipping containers at a cost of $90,000.
