This is my contribution to this weeks Macro Monday theme of Rock;
I collected these small rocks/ pebbles/stones from a beach on the Isle of Lewis and Harris and kept them for their colours and textures. I like them and I hope you do too! HMM

This image was captured of the Booted Racket-Tail when he appeared to be standing at attention. He looked so beautiful that I definitely had to try and get at least one image of him !!
Wishing you a wonderful and blessed week !!!!!!
After Fridays no show of the "Blood Moon" my legs didn\'t really want the punishment of walking up Scrabo Hill again. So It's all edward.graden fault that another image of Scrabo is uploaded due to his idea of going back again.

I was quite taken by the bareness of this tree compared to the lush foliage adorning its neighbours. Taken in Little Wittenham Wood one slightly misty morning!
No rain .. no leaves .. lots of sand and very hot weather .. However, proudly standing on both feet, stretching both his hands waiting for the rain to come down, this plant gives us a great lesson.
Hope is the thing that make us live and endure all hardships.
Genesis 35:14 “And Jacob setteth up a standing pillar in the place where He hath spoken with him, a standing pillar of stone, and he poureth on it an oblation, and he poureth on it oil.”
Stones of Callanish (Callanish I) is a late Neolithic stone circle (~2900-2600 BC) containing 13 standing stones composed of Precambrian metamorphic rocks. I photographed them on a rainy early morning, Callanish, Lewis Island, Scotland. In 'Outlander', the stones were used as a model for a fictional stone circle near Culloden called Craigh na Dun.

Standing Tall among the ruins of Jazirat Al Hamra Also known as the Ghost Village!
Jazirat Al Hamra, known as the Red Island, is a coastal town located 18km southwest of Ras Al Khaimah centre divided into the old and new towns. It is one of the oldest historical sites in the UAE.It is also known as the ‘ghost town' because of abandoned old houses and deserted narrow streets. Occupied by the Za'ab tribe, this coastal village was created in the 14th century on a peninsula. The villagers mostly subsisting on coastal fishery and pearl diving were also called Hadhr.
The story of the towns demise dates back to the 1930's economic crises and the decline of the natural pearl industry in the UAE. “Not long after, the town was deserted when the inhabitants moved out, attracted by the prospect of better living conditions offered by the local government. People left behind their houses, mosques and shops, creating what now is an undisturbed picture of life before the exploitation of oil.”
The tide is rising and standing room is getting scarce. These Ringed Plovers - juvenile behind and adult with its back to us having an altercation
I'd wanted to photograph these trees along the Whinlatter Pass in the Lake District for several years, but either the light was wrong or we were in a hurry to start a walk or get back after finishing one... but I got my chance this time....

Dead trees, standing tall.
Fun with a wide angle lens.
Snow Lake Trail, Mount Rainier National Park.
With so many Juvenile European Starlings about, it's hard not to focus on just one. This one here stood out against the green leaves of the service berry bush, a favorite food among birds.
This standing stone is one of those making up the West Kennet Avenue close to Avebury stone circle. Part of the Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A cold, wintry view of a small old home with a porch and a nice old oak standing steady with the old house. I know you can see these old houses everywhere, but I still like finding them, that's the fun.
This Blue Heron is standing tall, maybe scoping out a new hunting spot however I suspect it ti s bit deeper here then he wants it to be. Where is stands is an artificial island. The care takers (the city) use it to pull chemicals out of the yard watering run off so that it doesn't make it into the river. If the chemicals make it into the river it impacts the Mantee's. Seeing is we are having more Mantee's the last couple years I would say its working.
Standing tall the Roker lighthouse see’s a brief respite in the incessant pounding as sun gets a momentary look at this fine structure. The plan is to one day leave the family home and head south to be nearer our children. If we can ever decide on where then when, this icon will be a big miss to me, but I know it will be forever standing tall.
I have only ever seen one King Fisher, I have seen him a few times now, and he is more than happy to pose for photographs as long as he is on top of a 30 foot flag pole. So this is the best I can get of him for now.
Five quiet observers, standing in time, silence and peace.
Holy place of the Five Standing Stones, built by our ancestors on an elevated field in the heart of Northumberland, England, 4000 years ago.

Hello my friends. I know! I know! it has been a long time but I have not forgotten you. In fact, I missed you! So as the year comes to an end, I thought I would drop by and say hello to you all and see what you have been up to.
As for me, I have recently come back from a trip to Japan. So here is one of the pictures I took there.
