This past week we have had really strong winds. I still can't believe this old shed is still standing.
this dewy lavender serves as a holding pillar for several spider webs 😄 HMBT!☀️

I was out looking for fall color on a windy, drizzly day. Most of the trees in my area are just turning brown and dropping their leaves but this majestic tree is doing its best. You can count on a maple!
Tui play a critical role in the cross pollination of New Zealand Flax (Phormium tenax). Flax that is currently flowering produces copious amounts of nectar and is widespread throughout New Zealand. This is a current favourite of the Tui.
I went to a place I have only been to once before. That was a few years ago. I did more shots this time and tried to set up better this time. I admit though, that I should have used a tripod to use a higher F stop.
Hope you like.
Happy Fence Friday
In remembrance of the Unknown Soldier
Dan Barton has created and installed 101 6ft tall Armistice day Soldier Silhouettes to Commemorate the end of WW1 and 75 poppy wreathes to commemorate the end of WW2 at The Aston Rowant Nature Reserve. The Natural England Reserve can be found on the hillside at Stokenchurch, Oxfordshire above the M40 Motorway.
Dan hopes to raise funds for The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal and has set up a Just Giving Page.
Dan hopes this installation will provoke thought as people drive along the M40 motorway to remind us to enjoy the freedom we have and to teach our younger generations to treasure and cherish their freedom and to live well. Dan believes that all that we have in this moment is possible because of those that have come before us.

Pink or purple magnolias in full bloom. This one is from my backyard. I have been talking photos of them almost daily. Try to capture the most beautiful moment.

It wasn't you it wasn't me it wasn't anyone.
It was a day so long awaited and a chance to be as me.
I let the wind run through my hands as I turned to walk away.
In distant days I long to sense it all so clear.
And fighting time so hard I pray that this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.

I got your fingerprints on my skin
Ever since that day you've let me in
I feel your vibes, they are circlin'
You cut so deep, cut so deep
Who needs love leaning to one side
We're free fallin' in the jungle lights?
You have it all, got me on standby
You cut so deep, cut so deep
'Cause I thought that the trust had gone
Didn't see this comin' along
You made me a believer
You made me a believer
And now I'm
I'm shoutin' from the rooftop, baby
Tell me, will you come and save me?
I'm shoutin' from the rooftop, baby
Come pick me up, come pick me up
Are you just a lover or my twin soul?
Fire the shots and I need to know
I'm shoutin' from the rooftop, baby
Come pick me up, come pick me up
