Atlantic Puffin in Newfoundland, Canada
I do not share exact locations. Our wildlife should be protected and when locations are shared these animals are put at risk. Please do not ask. Any comments "outing" the locations will be deleted....

Kindness
Before you know what kindness really is
you must lose things,
feel the future dissolve in a moment
like salt in a weakened broth.
What you held in your hand,
what you counted and carefully saved,
all this must go so you know
how desolate the landscape can be
between the regions of kindness.
How you ride and ride
thinking the bus will never stop,
the passengers eating maize and chicken
will stare out the window forever.
Before you learn the tender gravity of kindness
you must travel where the Indian in a white poncho
lies dead by the side of the road.
You must see how this could be you,
how he too was someone
who journeyed through the night with plans
and the simple breath that kept him alive.
Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,
you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.
You must wake up with sorrow.
You must speak to it till your voice
catches the thread of all sorrows
and you see the size of the cloth.
Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore,
only kindness that ties your shoes
and sends you out into the day to gaze at bread,
only kindness that raises its head
from the crowd of the world to say
It is I you have been looking for,
and then goes with you everywhere
like a shadow or a friend.
Naomi Shihab Nye, 1952

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
Mark Twain
Have you had a kindness shown?
Pass it on; Twas not given for thee alone,
Pass it on; Let it travel down the years,
Let it wipe another's tears, Til in Heaven the deed appears - Pass it on.
Henry Burton
You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot by force.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I went over the Highland Park today as I figured I'd find some Autumn Crocuses in bloom. Indeed there were some. But look at what else I found - a ready-made composition that an earlier photographer had set up - fall leaves, some fruit from a nearby tree..and...an Autumn Crocus! I didn't see how I could improve on that set-up.
I also felt a nice connection with an unseen photographer. So, whoever you are, I thank you for my picture
outside the bustling shopping centre of Porto pi in Palma de Mallorca, a young couple basks in the joy of each other's company. Their laughter is a symphony of connection and delight captured in the intimacy of a shared joke. the woman, head tilted back in unrestrained joy, and the man, with a smile that reaches his eyes, create a moment that resonates with the happiness of shared stories and the comfort found in another's presence. in the cacophony of the city, their shared laughter is a soft melody, a reminder of the simple, sweet moments that make up the fabric of life.
Our Anna's the Care Bears of the flying world. Typically, they'll chase each other a bit, but sharing is the operative word (once a certain population 'tipping point' is achieved)
However, over last month or so I've been waging war with one particular big, bold Red Headed A**Hole Hummer. He's right in front of my kitchen sink so I've had an ever-escalating arena of powerful water guns to try and drive him away. No luck he absolutely OWNS two of these feeders and will lay in ambush to any unfortunate unlucky enough to approach. He's got his hiding spot in the same branch and is a very worthy opponent!
Logan's cousin Rikelor sharing his snack with Logan, which was really Logan's snack, which he was sharing with Rikelor. Kind of a circle of life sort of thing, I guess. But with snacks.

Bumble bee on the right with cucumber beetle on the left. Didn't see the little guy until later. Lots of pollinators to be found in a patch of pickerelweed.

There are so many ways to share beyond social media, but we sometimes lose sight of that. Here are some ideas to help you share your photography.

Sharing is caring, as they say—whoever they are. Wherever that old saying came from, it’s as true in photography as it is anywhere else. In fact, if you look at marketing in general, this is what viral marketing is all about. However, it is extremely difficult to go viral, especially for photographers. It essentially means that you must capture a photograph that is so striking, millions of people will snatch it up and share it.
Most of us will never have a truly viral image, but even so, when sharing does occur, even if it’s just a small amount of sharing, it’s still valuable. That’s what gets our work out there in front of more people—and some among those people will almost certainly be interested in what you have to offer.
Is social media where the sharing starts and stops? I don’t think it is. Social media is the first thing that comes to our digitally-attuned minds when we think about sharing—that or sharing PDFs via an email list. But in this day and age, there are so many more ways to go about this sharing process. Creative ways, too, including many methods that surely none of us have thought of yet.
Books, as an example, can be helpful if you are a fine art photographer. You may not think of books as a way to share but rather as a way to make money from your art with people purchasing coffee table books filled with your artwork.
Well, if you think about that, coffee table books are your clientele’s way of sharing their favorite artwork with their guests. They sit on a coffee table waiting for a guest to drop by and thumb through it as they enjoy their coffee.
That’s just one thought, but there are lots of other ways to share via books. Perhaps it might suit you to create small, inexpensive books featuring a limited sampling of your work. Something that you can give out to people as a gesture of goodwill, and as a way to share and get more eyes on your work. Books can be placed in libraries, too, so that anyone visiting the library can check you out and see what you’re all about.
This type of sharing isn’t limited to books. It can come in the form of magazine publication. If you see an opportunity to place an image in a publication that suits it, then give it a shot! This gets you in front of even more eyes.
You can enter photography contests or print postcards to sell at tourist attractions. I often stop at postcard stands to look at the images and maybe even spend a few bucks on things that I like—and I’m surely not the only one who has stopped to browse postcards! There’s a whole collectors market around it. Or your form of sharing could be something completely unrelated to any of the things I’ve mentioned. The main thing that matters is finding ways to get your work out there—and doing it in ways that won’t put people off with overly pushy sales tactics but will give them a chance to enjoy your work and learn a little bit about who you are.
Like me, this Stoat was very interested in the noisy Reed Warbler fledglings hopping about in the reeds.
I saw these notebooks at several locations in Reykjavik. The idea is that people should share their stories in writing - perhaps about Iceland, but not necessarily. This Shared Stories notebook was attached to a bench next to the Reykjavik City Pond, known in Icelandic as Tjörnin. The logo bottom right suggests that AirIceland may be involved in the project in some way.

During the summer my old Underwood has table space all to itself, but now that cooler weather is approaching, the house plants have been brought in from their summer residence on the back deck and take their places at the table by the window.

Kodiak Brown Bears don't like to share and this salmon was being used as tug-o-war. The siblings finally shared when the salmon tore into two pieces.
