Here's hoping 2021 brings some more 'normality' to our world. But so many thanks must be given to our health care workers, emergency services and contact tracers who are working hard to bring the latest cluster of infections under control.
But thanks also to those in the community who have done the right thing for us all, the scientists for working hard and providing public health advice and even the politicians for providing leadership.
It's been one hell of a year! Not to be forgotten for a while.
Stay safe and well friends, family and Flickr friends.
Beachy Head is a white chalk sea cliff in East Sussex, England, that is the highest in the UK, reaching 162 metres (531 feet) above sea level.
At the foot of the cliffs is a lighthouse situated on the rocky foreshore, warning sailors of the dangers hidden beneath the surface.
This photo was taken from a viewing area to the East of the lighthouse on what is called the Peace Path.
It is possible to walk to the lighthouse at certain times of the Summer at Spring Tide but it is quite treacherous with the rocks covered with seaweed and the ever eroding cliff face.
Spotted this toadstool and could just see a face in it so I thought I'd enhance the face for Sliders Sunday.

Ok, sure, those aren't cobblestones, and that isn't a road. In fact, the rose is fake as well. It's a brick wall that someone tucked a fake rose into. We were attending the Arts presentation of our granddaughter, Addie at the RNS Middle School. Some of the art projects were scattered around the theatre, and above one group was this fake flower. I almost missed it as I was shooting closeups of some of the treasures. lol After my granddaughter's dances, this was the best thing I saw. lol On this night, Addie's mom (our daughter, Bethany) was sick, and her dad had meetings (which he subsequently ended up leaving early when he came down sick), so we took her for the evening. Just one of the reasons we moved here.
This was a “wishy washy” shot of some row-boats docked on the Charles River, alongside Cambridge Parkway. I always intended for it the be black & white, but since blue was the predominant colour, I thought I’d accentuate it instead.
I know selective colouring is frowned upon in many circles, however this is my play on Selective Colours. Using the desaturation of the true colour of the flowers of this shrub giving it an unatural and subtle but delicate twist on the norm.
I rarely if ever take shots in black and white. I tried this one but couldn't help myself - I just had to add that little burst of colour into the shot.
Thank you for your comments in advance. If you take the time to comment on my work I will repay the kindness with a visit to your photo stream :-)
And yes it was pink - seen at Kilver Court Gardens way back in early March when we were allowed to visit places. It was a fairly grey and cold day so the pink stood right out amongst the rubble

They do great work and every penny can make a huge difference to the lives of the poorest people in the World.
So do something funny for money!
UPDATE!! We did a cake sale at work and raised over £180! The nation as a whole though raised £57m in one night. Makes me very proud to be British.
On New Years Day we took a trip to Greenwich Market where they have a display of old cars and bikes together with a retro disco and a live band. A very fun filled afternoon, although a tad busy this year. They also have loads of stalls selling food from all around the world so you can imagine how good it smells.
Smile on Saturday’s Theme of old to new is perfect for this shot! Seeing in the New Year at a vintage market.
Sometimes, I see a beautiful composition in nature and capture the moment only to be disappointed with the image. The Monarch was what my mind focused on but the abundance of surrounding colour overtook the image. A little post selective colour brought me back to what was in my minds eye! All is good again!!
