Not just a Leonard Nimoy TV show, but this Scissor-tailed Flycatcher shoots just above the tree-tops, looking for morsels.
I hope you find the love that's true
So the morning light can shine on you
I hope you find what you're looking for
So your heart is warm for ever more

Research has shown that being near the ocean can make you calmer and more creative. When you sit near the ocean and gaze out at the water, you give your brain and senses a rest from overstimulation, get into a mindful state, and trigger insights and ideas that eluded you while you were sitting at your computer.

Thank you for your friendly visits and comments!.
If you look carefully you may be able to see two Hector's Dolphins. These small dolphins are only found in New Zealand's waters and we were so lucky to see them surfing the waves :) One of many special moments we were fortunate enough to experience last year during our month in New Zealand.
Many thanks for all the kind comments and faves on my images :) Have a great weekend everyone!

To best experience and fully appreciate the iridescent material effect of Nile's creation, set your graphic setting to ultra to enjoy the sheer beauty and realism of this gown's textures.
Honestly, I had trouble deciding upon which one of the 18 iridescent multi-colored HUD textured options to choose from. They are all so strikingly gorgeous! The flowing upper and lower skirting along with the elegant ostrich arm accents are simply divine in their execution and detailing.
This [FlowerDreams] Alexa Gown fits Maitreya Lara & Petite,Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Kupra Bimbo, Original (+ Kups A & B), Legacy ( + Perky), Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and Reborn mesh bodies.

I often searched for large Ayers Rock photos only to discover that these were rare and most photographers didn't share them. So I vowed to take photos of the Red Centre and post them full size so everyone could see them. So here is a huge panorama of 29 photos using a 200 mm lens. You can see several people still climbing the formation even though it will soon be dark. You can see a shadow at the base of Ayers Rock and it didn’t take long before the sun set.

Short-eared owls are most often seen in the late afternoon and at
dawn or dusk. They primarily eat small mammals, but occasionally
take small birds; their young sometimes eat insects. When
hunting, these owls dive from perches or fly low over the ground
and pounce on their prey from above.
These birds prefer the open country of grasslands and marshes,
inhabiting areas where small mammals are plentiful. Their
population changes, breeding behaviors and nest success change
from year to year based on their food supply. Breeding occurs in
March through June. Their courtship entails elaborate flight
displays that include wing-clapping, exaggerate wing beats and scuffles.

Thank you for all your kind comments on my photos here on Flickr. I read them all and I really appreciate them.
Warmest regards, Stephen.
My least favorite time of the year has to be after the autumn leaves have fallen until we have snow. It is already cold and everything just looks grey and blah.
On this day, I went on a mission to find some beauty and by the end of the day I had changed my mind. If you look hard enough, you will find the beauty in anything. When you find yourself forgetting that..... look again.
A location I've wanted to visit for some time is 'Sculpture by the Lakes' near Dorchester in Dorset. It's a sculpture park featuring many wonderful works by renowned sculptor Simon Gudgeon. The art is thoughtfully placed in the beautifully landscaped grounds, and it's well worth a visit, both for photographers and art lovers alike.

This one was ordered by me from Amazon in search of a smiley chair and photographed in a vintage retro building. The chair has since been reused as a pool tube smiling and sits happily while floating about when its summer.

... surfers of the world. Hurricane Ike has just generated the "perfect wave."
It's noon on Sept. 16, 2008 and I just got this update from Mifflin in the Houston Area:
We are among the blessed in the area. We experienced the wrath of the storm from 2 AM through late morning Saturday, and had electrical power until 4:30 AM, although it frequently went on and off. We lost phone and cell phone capability mid-morning. When we went out and checked for damage, we found none to the house or fence. Only a few plants toppled. And that was true for most of our surrounding neighborhood. We had been advised that we would be without electrical power for two weeks to eighteen days. Knowing we were going to shelter in place, the decision being because we are 50 miles from the coast as the crow flies, we stocked up well on supplies and prepared. Plus we have a natural gas stove and hot water heater, so we could cook. And we froze large pans of water for block ice in the freezers, mainly to sustain my insulins, and as much perishable food items as possible for as long as possible. I have a small battery powered analog television that we watched, and I bought a hand cranked am/fm radio with solar panels for dual operation, and we were able to use that. Saturday night here was eerie because of the stillness and quiet, the likes of which we haven't experienced in years. The only sounds were a distant generator. The authorities were strictly enforcing a dusk til dawn curfew, so we had no traffic. I could see lights in the distance south of us, and since we have all underground utilities, I felt the projected time without power wouldn't apply to us, but one never knows. Sharon, by some devine inspiration (her spirit of shopping and buying everything in sight) found a couple of battery operated box fans about 18 inches square at Linens and Things in early June. They take 8 D batteries, and will run approximately 72 hours on low speed, so I put one in the open bedroom window and it drew the cool night air into the room and circulated it, and we were very comfortable all night long. Miff went to the church Saturday afternoon to check on damage there, said everything was fine, and that they had electrical power, so invited us to go spend the night there which we declined. He stopped back by at 9 Sunday morning to check on us and was encouraging us to go to Dixie and Joe's in Austin until the power came back on, and we were giving it some thought, but we had to get rid of stuff in the two fridges and chest freezer as not to have a rotten mess when we returned. And I'm too old and broke to have to buy new appliances when these will probably last til I draw my last breath. I was in the shower when Sharon opened the door and hollered the power just came on. We both were ecstatic, but held our breath in case it was a short lived fluke. It's still off in another section of our subdivision across West Little York from us. Then the phones came back, as did the internet and t.v. service, so we are one out of every fifth person throughout the greater Houston area enjoying such a luxury. We got out and drove north for about four miles to check on our friends, Judy and Edward Holub, who just built and moved into their $325,000. dream home in a gated community. The trip there was surreal. There was no power to operate the street lights, at least the ones still standing, and many of them were hanging from one wire in a vertical position ready to fall at any time, traffic was horrific, and people had to stop at each intersection as they do at 4-way stops and progress through one car at a time. Imagine the amount of gasoline that takes. Signs were blown down, fences down everywhere, extensive roof damage, trees scattered everywhere. Krogers and Walmart on the corner of Fry and West Little York down from us both were open, but their parking lots were a zoo of people and cars. When we got to the Holub's, the story was the same. No power, lots of damage to those brand new homes, especially the roofs. Thank goodness the trees were all young, as they are in our area, but they for the most part were toppled over because they didn't have established root systems. They weren't home and we found out later they had gone to her brother's in Cuero. Sunday Miff had 40 souls at church giving thanks for their safe deliverance. We had 8 sirloin strips in our freezer along with sausage links, so Miff came, picked them up and grilled them Sunday afternoon, and we had seven for a feast of Thanksgiving at our house Sunday night. Then Sharon lost her mind and prepared a roast for Monday evenings meal and had seven over for that. Guess seven is our magic number. I told Sharon I wanted to hear nothing about her aches and pains if she kept insisting on slaving over meal preps like that. And for those without power, God blessed us with this wonderful cool front that blew through. Love these early fall temperature drops. It still will be a week before we can get out into the world and get back to normal around here, but as I said, we are a lot closer than most. It always does our heart good to know that the two of you are still there and hopefully doing well. At our ages, we take everything one day at a time and are grateful for it. Thank you so much for your prayers, interest and concern. We thought we left hurricanes behind in Corpus Christi. Boy were we ever wrong. Love, Mifflin
This is one of a pair of Search and Rescue fast patrol boats built in 1998 by Vittoria Naval Shipyard, Adria, in Italy for the Italian Civil Protection Department similar to the SARs already in service with the Italian Coast Guard.
The vessels were transferred to the Maritime Squadron of the AFM, the Armed Forces of Malta in May 1999. The Armed Forces of Malta is the national SAR agency in Malta. The two vessels, Melita 1 & 2 underwent mid-life upgrade works between April and July 2011.
This was shot in the Grand Harbour, Valletta, Malta.
Any ordinary thistle would have seemed rugged enough to me...
I seriously hope this plant survived the massive range fires that recently consumed much of the southern end and western slopes of Antelope Island. This shot, taken just feet from the top of Frary Peak, almost instantly caught my interest when I arrived. The place perfectly suited the thistle to my eye and the opposite was likewise true in a fascinating way. I gazed in the direction you have just been looking in above for quite some time.
As a whole Antelope Island is one of the most photogenic places i have ever visited. I just hope the recent fires weren't so overpowering that they might have changed this status to the point that others won't be able to enjoy the island as much as I did.
It's strange to think that one singular lightning strike was all it took... A few days later more than 10,000 acres were burned.
Because i am struggling to type (Disabled) I have turned off comments, sorry and thank you for stopping by - Lee.

Stone Town is the main city on Zanzibar. It is a city of prominent historical and artistic importance in East Africa. Its architecture, mostly dating back to the 19th century, reflects the diverse influences underlying the Swahili culture, with a unique mixture of Moorish, Arab, Persian, Indian and European elements. For this reason, the town has been included in UNESCO's World Heritage Sites in 2000.
It may not have a particularly romantic name, but Stone Town is the old city and cultural heart of Zanzibar, little changed in the last 200 years. It is a place of winding alleys, bustling bazaars, mosques and grand Arab houses whose original owners vied with each other over the extravagance of their dwellings. This one-upmanship is particularly reflected in the brass-studded, carved, wooden doors - there are more than 500 different examples of this handiwork. You can spend many idle hours and days just wondering through the fascinating labyrinth of narrow streets and alleyways.
