Reminded me of the airshaft flight to blow up The Deathstar in Star Wars 1...

Reminded me of "Eve of Destruction", written by 19 year old P.F. Sloan in 1964.
The story is the same, only different time.
It’s a poor excuse at best, but it’s all I’ve got. There have been some obstacles along the way beginning earlier this year with some health issues that came my way as well. I managed to get through all of the health issues and will not linger on those points. First a sinus infection along with the self-inflicted back injury that kept me off the water. I had put off doing a partial remodel of the house but finally managed to put that into motion. What was supposed to be a quick job turned into a lengthy process and I was stuck at home babysitting people that showed up late and were not dependable. They did the work properly for the most part and the end product was acceptable, but it took far too long and almost five weeks total.
Another sinus infection managed to make its way into my life and this time it was one of the worst that I have ever experienced. Not certain that it wasn’t complicated by the moisture and mildew that was discovered in the home under the old carpets that were removed during the remodel. I delayed going to doctor for too long and the infection took its toll on me. I finally asked my daughter to help, and my doctor was not pleased with me when I crawled into her office. The meds did their job, but I was not in good shape, and this all happened while the construction crew was doing work on my home.
So, let me throw in the fourth termite infestation in my home that was discovered in the kitchen around my built in ovens. Another headache entered the things that kept me away from Flickr. They were treated but had also done damage that would need to be repaired as well.
The remodel was finally completed, and I could finally get my life back in order…maybe. My unexpected visit to the ER because a severe pain in my upper back (morphine wouldn’t take it away) was another little road bump along the way. I was released from the hospital and sent home with kidney stones still stuck in place. I fortunately passed those kidney stones (all three of them) and got back to moving everything back into the newly remodeled guest room and my newly remodeled play room. I’ll take photos when it’s finally finished. It’s progressing along but not as quickly has I had hoped for. That remodel put quite a dent in my budget, but it was well worth the money and had to be addressed.
Am I done yet…well no!! Hold on canoe boy ‘cause the construction team that was assigned by the pest control company was about to step in. I did get lucky and managed to purchase a policy a few years ago for termite damage in my home and the company wanted to begin the repairs to the kitchen. UGGGGHHH! They would take care of everything, but that necessitated yet another construction crew being in my home. I had to remove dishes out of he cabinets and clear out my pantry as well. I enjoyed trying to prepare breakfast with most of my kitchen items in the dining room. What a pain. I thought that things would move smoothly, but it took a while to get the job approved and that drug along for a little over three weeks. They were supposed to be finished with the project but will return sometime this week and finish the project. The managed to damage a part of the oven and it’s one order and will be replaced.
DEEP BREATH!!!! I hope you are still with me, but if you’ve not read this far, that is okay as well.
Canoeing??? Not certain what that is! Photography??? I’ve not picked up my camera since March. Maybe someday! I am also experiencing some minor stability issues with my back that have lingered since the injury occurred earlier this year. The back is fine after I spend some time stretching in the morning and absolutely perfect when I go to bed at night. I’m either sleeping wrong or my recently replaced mattress needs to be replaced with a different type. Just not sure.
Phew!! I’m doing okay and will try to get on the water soon. Just don’t now when I’ll be back here on Flickr full time. I am not hurting (except for the issues in the morning) but will have to see how things progress. This is the first time that I’ve logged on to Flickr in weeks and I’ll try to get to everyone’s messages as soon as possible. Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead. If I can remember where my photos are stored and if I can locate a nice one, I may see if I can recall how all of this works. Enjoy your week.

I've added these images to a little album I called To A Rhythm We Will Never Know which I started back when I was a tad unwell. Reading about Sir Chris Hoy's diagnosis and bravery at the weekend and seeing these grasses reminded me we are just like grasses blown about by life's fortunes.
Reminded me of the wonderful poem by Robert Frost .
As the sun sets in the mountains, the trees seem to tower more ! And a person walking in the distance in silhouette only accentuates the heights !
And the sun behind the tree seems to have chiselled the tree !
Thursday brought another one of those evenings which reminded me that when it comes to this location, you can never have too much of a good thing. Every single low tide brings a different landscape with it and so often it's a case of trying to find that bit of foreground that leads to the distant focal point. Even when the sky is flat and featureless, as it was on Thursday evening, it doesn't really seem to matter - in fact a dose of cloud drama that so often makes the image here might even be a distraction when the lines in the sand are the most compelling (well hopefully you agree) feature in the image. I'm beginning to think of the place as the beach of endless gifts.
Lee and I had arrived relatively late, although we're already having sunset hour not long before 9pm. It seems funny to think that a couple of years ago we'd converge on almost exactly the same square yard - we still joke about this - and posting very similar images from an outing. As his specially sharpened elbows are famed in local five a side football circles, I'd inevitably lose the battle for the prime spot. At the moment I have little idea where he's got to of an evening out, somewhere up on the cliffs taking minimalist shots with his long lens as he is. Meanwhile my camera is at the opposite end of the focal length on tides like these; evenings when the wide angle lens, if it could speak would say to me "You don't need anything else tonight my old son. I'll do the job you need. You might need to do a focus stack, but it'll be worth the effort."
As so often happens here, I'd arrived with the intention of photographing another section of the beach entirely, but the clouds needed to make the reflections I'd planned on had vanished with the final hours of daylight. For a while I sat on the clifftop with Lee and talked about all things photographic as he trained his telephoto on surfers as they finished their sessions and carried their boards across the big patch of wet sand I'd been planning on using. As I watched, not for the first time recently the area of sand just to the right of the place where the Red River neatly dissects the beach as it makes its final journey to the sea came to my attention. From the clifftop I could see that there were promising patterns where a volume of seawater had escaped from a rock pool and made its way across the sand. Save for the distant inhabitant of a camping chair, nobody else was on this section of the beach and it seemed I might find a composition unsullied by human footprints.
I pretty much always wear my wellies here for low tide shots and I approached the scene via the river, intent on preserving the pristine landscape in front of me. Unfortunately I'd chosen the shorter wellies (so much easier for driving) and was rewarded for my oversight by a boot full of the Red River for my pains. To my right I could see a young lady was also wandering in the same direction, which hastened the camera out of the bag and onto the tripod. Fortunately she veered off across the centre of the beach and I could breathe and focus on the foreground options in front of me - there were lots of them at that. In fact this may not be the only shot I share here from the evening. In this one the beach seemed to be extending a sandy hand towards me at the very front of the frame. Mind you I feel like that every time I'm here.
It's not long now until the crowds arrive in our corner of the country and even at 9pm there will be plenty of people strolling across the scene you see here. Finding perfect sand without signs of humanity will become ever more challenging until the place is returned to us once more at the end of the summer. But that just means I'll move onto other compositions. There's always an image on this beach after all.
It's Sunday evening and another week at the grindstone awaits. I hope you have a good one.

It’s not as far as it may seem. Flipping through last Springs photos reminds me that “Dreams of Spring” are healthy colorful dreams so dream on. Thanks for viewing my photos and for any comments left. Happy New Year and keep your camera clicking.
30 Days of Gratitude 21/30: I am grateful for the heavens...the moon, stars, planets, clouds...and I'm grateful that to this day, my Mom always reminds me to look at the sky.
Again- really reminds of the Exorcist, right? Here's the full view of the castle wall from the previous shot.
I'm pretty sure we were caught in the beams once or twice- I wonder if our giant forms were suddenly cast upon the castle for all to see?
We did our best to stay hidden though, moving -I think- like trained spies, from shadow to shadow, crouching and sprinting. I mean, in the rubbishy way the two of us do. But still.
I took quite a lot of shots whilst we were here, but the lighting conditions were just dire so I think this will be the last one. There was a nice one of the interior courtyard, but I think I'd be embarrassed to upload it to Flickr. I don't want people knowing how bad a photographer I really am..

I won't be able to take a walk tomorrow, or probably the day after, so this will have to suffice for my Thursday Walk. There are only so many places within walking distance of my work that I can get to in a reasonable amount of time. The small, man-made ponds by the hotel across the street rarely have much of interest.
And then I saw a bird's nest. At eye level. One click of the shutter and I knew this was going to be today's picture.
This iris reminds me of an antique ball gown. I've loved peach and lavender together since I first saw the color combination in the late 1970's--in a bedding of flowers in a McDonald's parking lot. I was an art student at the time, trying to understand how to use color. When I saw the two colors together the first time, it evoked a pleasure that was almost emotion. It struck me as a moment of progress, because I felt like I was beginning to understand the power of color.
p.s. This iris just opened overnight, but she shows some tatters from the heavy rain we got.
The water the other night was like glass. The sunset reminded me of beach glass how years and years of being in the water it becomes smooth. Except with a sunset it gets better and better as time goes on.
Hello friends,
Something new from me. I was hesitant about posting this as this my first attempt at this type of photography and edit. But when I saw the back of my camera after taking it I knew I had to try. I should get better at these types of pictures since I never seem to sleep at night anyway. First time for everything!
I was listening to Stairway to Heaven when I started the process of posting this and had it titled as such. But the more I thought about it the more cliche it sounded. It does remind me of something similar to that though. Perhaps some of you will catch the reference to the title :) Even though it is imperfect in a million times I think the only way to see growth is by posting pictures along the way. It's astonishing to look back and see how we grow. I do that often with people here I follow. Some of you have been with me since the very beginning in my very humble efforts. Flickr will always be my first love when it comes to community. I have never experienced the same type of encouragement anywhere else that I experience here. Thank you for being with me on this journey, for growing with me and never failing to inspire me.
Love always,
Rachel
I don't have a name for this pretty plant...but as I passed it a few times walking through the swamp / marsh it kept reminding me of Christmas time Candy Canes! The light was right so I tried, a little to much lens but I thought it was pretty.
Another Proud American
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️
