For the most part, the photo that I wanted to take with the Common Redstart was exactly this one, when it would sit on that perch with one tiny mushroom. However, I was about to miss this opportunity, yet a mistake saved the photo. I had my shutter speed at around 1/1000 since it was a bit sunny, but not enough to raise it any more. Then, when the Common Redstart finally sat on the perch, the sun faded behind a cloud right at that moment....but I didn't notice. So I took the photos without realizing that I would have underexposed results with 1/1000 shutter speed. But just as I finished shooting and gave a quick glance at the settings I had, fear stroke me. 1/500 shutter speed. I was certain that the photos would be overexposed, but when I checked them out, it turns out they were perfect. I don't know how I changed the shutter speed (I don't use Auto mode) but I'm glad I changed it.
The so called Environmental Protection Agency continues to de-regulate toxic chemicals that will increase disease and death in Americans. Why? Because Trump cares more for the profit of billionaires than the people in this country. The man didn't even know Puerto Rico was part of America. He's a disgrace and he continues to enact policies that will harm and kill Americans.

Memorial Day is a solemn national holiday in the United States, observed each year on the last Monday of May, that commemorates American military personnel who have lost their lives fighting foreign enemies.
All Americans need to stand vigilant against the palpable threat to our democracy posed by fascist forces, mustering within the nation's borders, that are actively seeking to undermine it.

▶ Title 4 of the U.S. Code states, "The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress." But, in the 1974 case Spence v. Washington, the Supreme Court ruled that displaying an upside-down flag was protected First Amendment speech.

Mural "Whale" by Swiss artists duo Nevercrew on the pavement of Rue à Degrée in Mons, Belgium.
Nevercrew is a duo of Swiss artists composed of Christian Rebecchi & Pablo Togni. They have worked together since 1996 and the subjects they deal with are the human condition, the relationship between man and nature (and vice versa) and the impact of economic or social systems on the environment. Most of Nevercrew's creations depict animals that are lost, in trouble, or imprisoned. Each painting denounces in its own way the misfortunes endured by nature because of human activity. (...)
Inspired by the name of the street, “Degree Street”, they used the reference to temperature, rise/increase and descent/fall/decrease.

Nevercrew est un duo d’artistes suisses composé de Christian Rebecchi & Pablo Togni. Ils travaillent ensemble depuis 1996 et les sujets qu’ils traitent sont la condition humaine, la relation entre l'homme et la nature (et inversement) ou encore l’impact des systèmes économiques ou sociaux sur l’environnement. La plupart des créations de Nevercrew représentent des animaux perdus, en mauvaise posture ou emprisonnés. Chaque peinture dénonce à sa manière les malheurs endurés par la nature à cause de l’activité humaine. (...)
Inspiré par le nom de la rue, la « Rue à Degrée », ils ont utilisé la référence à la température, la montée/l'augmentation et la descente/la chute/la diminution.

The fox squirrels love the large crabapples from the tree in our backyard. I enjoyed watching this squirrel decide where to hide his snack!
Elusyve threatened to send her cats to the tub if they did not sell! Being a cat lover, of course Wilmur had to protest!

What advancement has been spelled out this morning?
Or any other morning for the matter with us is not yet found,
Still somehow uncolonized is the space within our heart
Overrun as it may be by so much as the duty bound
Ways radiating the loss of our own habitat that now sets us apart
From the roads we build atop the past trampled underfoot
Cobbles give way to the gobbles of hungry economic pressure
Drink your coffee quick so you may be full of beans in readiness
For the trek that gives a heck for seizing a rightful expressure
Over distinctive burials of hurt and all of life's bloodiness
Emotion rather resembles archaeology with origin unknown
It's a treasure worth having yet it's value cannot be easily told
We may hold such an artifact in our hand yet flinch in someone else's
And crack as we might it is only time that can find out before we're sold
By which time living memory has been and gone where history convulses
When we're done and dusted our image of ourselves speaks of tribal beliefs
Those narrow-minded policies handed-down from government to bleeder
Oh! and what stories shall we tell when our rich soil becomes political?
My childhood garden now a by-word for by-pass, a ruddy road's northern feeder
For no truth is harder to bear than next year's road map, ahead lies, lies, lies so hypocritical
Motions passed in my backyard by persons who'll have been and gone
Before my oats are cold...I jest, of course,
For the planners I never see live far, faraway from the likes of you or me
They have job descriptions that even google doesn't yet know, how coarse!
Yet real their decisions are, for their administrative cocoon may leave me a solitary tree
As swathes of childhood memory are churned-up why must we build over
Areas of greatest worth? leaving but a dust bowl to live out of
Only queried when the going gets tough and the tough have long gone
I speak of the Wensum valley and Norwich's soon to be northern ring of cupboard love
The atlas speaks what councils forgot to tell us...now preservation has been foregone.

Close up in the temple and this is the beauty of prime lens simply can focus and click with hardly anyone paying much attention.
It's been really cold here in Finland for a couple of weeks now. Lovely midwinter then. :-) Days are getting longer. Snow is pretty. Polar bears everywhere. :-)
Skull!
They all know, they all know!
Sorry, did I wake your dream, some questions run too deep
We only, only wake up when we sleep
Led by the lunar light, trouble's all we'd find
Lost our way tonight
Is it something we said?
Is it something we said to them?
Is it something we said?
Save me - I'm trapped in a vile world
Save me - Where the end game's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
Save me - I'm losing my only dream
Save me - I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If you hear me, let me know
They all know, they all know!
Ever since the day you left my fates been set unknown
How many years to walk this path alone?
So much to see tonight, so why'd you close your eyes?
Why can't I shut mine?
Is it something we did?
Is it something we did to them?
Is it something we did?
Save me - I'm trapped in a vile world
Save me - Where the end game's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
Save me - I'm losing my only dream
Save me - I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If you hear me, let me know
If you hear me, let me know
Help me find my way
Said help me find my way
No pulse inside of me
Stone cold lips and heresy
All lies and to a degree
Losing you I wanna be, oh
You'll find out right now,
He may be out of his mind, but someday you will find
That sanity has left us all blind, and dragged us all behind
A moment seen through those eyes, crystal blue disguise
They say that all beauty must die, I say it just moves on
If you'd only open your mind, then someday you will find
Insanity left us behind, and walked right through the door
I can see the picture's clear as yesterday, pictures all my own
I can hear the voices begging you to stay, but know you're not alone
Save me - I'm trapped in a vile world
Save me - Where the end game's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
Save me - I'm losing my only dream
Save me - I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If you hear me, let me know
If you hear me, let me know
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die
Tonight we all die young...
Bicycles are simply the most efficient form of transport. They produce no waste and improve our health and wellbeing. If we all used a bike to get to work and visit friends and family or went on cycling holidays instead of road trips, it would have an immediate and profound effect on our fossil fuel use and contribution to climate change.
Finally, as if all this is not compelling enough, cycling just 10km each way to work, once a week, instead of driving saves about $926 and 304kg of greenhouse gases each year.
Its sometimes just simply about saving yourself, if you dont who will. I have lyrics 'Que sara sara, whatever will be will be, the future is not ours to see' tattooed on me and that is something i feel is so worthy to be inbedded in my skin and mind.....Whatever will be will be, so let it be what it is. Save yourself, and save your mind, save your heart, and dont ponder on the lies... give yourself a reason to be strong a reason to carry on, call on that inner strength and be the person who is worth saving... as you as am I, are awesome!!
