Since lock down, everything seems to be more natural, wilder and more beautiful. The banks and verges along the side of the road are full of wild flowers and there's colour, along with gorgeous aromas all over the place. Let's hope it stays this way for good as not only is it good for us, it's extremely good for nature. My lovely nan, who was very superstitious used to call Cow Parsley "Break your mother's heart" for some reason and she'd never allow it in the house if we were to pick a bouquet. I know it's got a rather acquired scent, but I think it's beautiful....sorry nan.
Just a shot of the water, the shoreline and some reflections. Thought it might make a nice shot since Summer is well on it's way now.

Since Leo had completely lost interest in being a model, I decided to lure him into a photo shoot by bringing a bunch of catnip from my garden. It worked, but it's getting harder and harder to get him to pose for me :)
Since when did Flickr become a place where people post screenshots of personal conversations and Facebook comments? Lame! How unglamorous! Anyways here’s POPPY!!
Since there wasn't anything of interest going on in the Fernhill wetlands, we went down the highway to the the Buffalo Farm... One of these days they are going to be on my side of the pasture... LOL!!!

SPNC Year 3 #9
Since this might be my last post of 2018... I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all my Flickr friends and followers for all your support this year!
This has been quite a crazy year for me... one of the most hectic years of my life! But it's also been a very decisive year... and I've made a number of radical decisions which have changed (and improved) my life considerably. I haven't felt stressed or angry with anyone in at least 2 months now... and that can only ever be a good thing! I have a challenging new project and a clear plan for next year... and so far... everything is fitting into place perfectly! I can't remember when last I've been so excited to start a new year!
So here's wishing you all a very enjoyable last few days of the year... and a very prosperous and happy 2019!
Cheers everyone.

Since some people (from the USA) didn't think they had Queen Anne's Lace where they live, I thought I should put up a photo of what it looks like when it is open, because I am pretty sure everybody in North America has this flower, unless it is too high up in the mountains or too desert-like.
So here are some Queen Anne's Lace growing through a fence... a somewhat unusual shot because usually this flower blankets the fields at waist height. So it is unusual to see one or two plants by themselves. (The lawnmower decided that....)
It was evening, and the late light was just barely hitting them!
Edinburgh Castle is a historic castle in Edinburgh, Scotland. It stands on Castle Rock, which has been occupied by humans since at least the Iron Age. There has been a royal castle on the rock since the reign of Malcolm III in the 11th century, and the castle continued to be a royal residence until 1633. From the 15th century, the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as a military garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half.
Edinburgh Castle has played a prominent role in Scottish history, and has served variously as a royal residence, an arsenal, a treasury, a national archive, a mint, a prison, a military fortress, and the home of the Honours of Scotland – the Scottish regalia. As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, the castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1,100-year history, giving it a claim to having been "the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world". Few of the present buildings pre-date the Lang Siege of 1573, when the medieval defences were largely destroyed by artillery bombardment. The most notable exceptions are St Margaret's Chapel from the early 12th century, which is regarded as the oldest building in Edinburgh, the Royal Palace, and the early 16th-century Great Hall. The castle is the site of the Scottish National War Memorial and the National War Museum. The British Army is still responsible for some parts of the castle, although its presence is now largely ceremonial and administrative. The castle is the regimental headquarters of the Royal Regiment of Scotland and the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards and houses their regimental museums, along with that of the Royal Scots.
The castle, in the care of Historic Environment Scotland, is Scotland's most (and the United Kingdom's second most) visited paid tourist attraction, with over 2.2 million visitors in 2019 and over 70 percent of leisure visitors to Edinburgh visiting the castle. As the backdrop to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo during the annual Edinburgh Festival, the castle has become a recognisable symbol of Edinburgh in particular and of Scotland as a whole.
Since the weather was so nice today, I decided to take a walk to the back of the tree nursery I currently live on. I was half way to the back and got a low battery warning on my camera! The warm weather made me a little lazy so I took my small camera. On the way back to my house I got off a couple of more shots and this is one of them. I was amazed at the quality for such a small camera - especially at noon with bright sunlight - which I usually never take photos at this time of day.
There are at least 5 or more different types of trees in this photo - the very large Walnut tree on the right is just starting to get leaves. L A R G E

Since I can't go to the beach right now, I thought I'd share some of my photo art. This one was taken back in May. of 2016. I re-edited the shot this morning using Silver Efex Pro 2 and Lightroom.

Frigorífico Anglo del Uruguay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Frigorífico Anglo del Uruguay was a meatpacking plant located at Fray Bentos, Uruguay, on the Uruguay River bank.
In 1924, the Vestey group purchases the old installations of Liebig Extract of Meat Company and the production goes on under a new name.
During its peak period, El Anglo had 5,000 workers whose ranks included English, Belgians, Russians, Spanish and Italians. It finally closed in 1979 after Europe and the United States had cut back their purchases from Latin America. Small brick houses with thick walls running along the river's edge in Fray Bentos form the "Barrio Anglo," a city-within-a-city where meatpacking workers lived that featured a hospital, a school, a social club and a football squad.[1]

Timex has exceeded all of my expectations with this contemporary release! This is one of the highest quality pieces in this price range and a little above. 42mm stainless steel case with circular brushing on top of the lugs and a polished stepped bezel. Crisp chamfered edge next to horizontal brushing on the side of the case and a signed crown. The panda dial is light grey with quality print, indiglo and a black seconds sub dail is above the 6. Supple 20mm black leather strap with grey stitching and a signed buckle. No traditional loud ticking quartz movement here. $54 well spent.
Since I was a little boy
I was known as Stan Ion Pătraş
Listen to me, fellows
There are no lies in what I am going to say
All along my life
I meant no harm to anyone
But did good as much as I could
To anyone who asked
Oh, my poor World
Because It was hard living in it
It has been nearly a year since my last visit down to Kirby Cove for sunrise. Not being able to sleep I opted to get up early and head towards the headlands. When I left low fog was gracing the Golden Gate Bridge with both towers sticking above the fog. I was keeping my fingers crossed to finally capture that elusive low fog with burning sky sunrise scene. To my dismay the fog decided to retreat and disappear minutes after my departure.
Despite the receding of fog the leading edge of a cloud front made landfall and was primed to explode in burning colors. I initially started at Battery Spencer and was shocked to see the parking lot completely packed by 6am. With the fog sitting just off the coast I was worried it would make another inland push and hence I started off at the classical Battery Spencer viewpoint.
Again I was surprised to see so many photographers setup. There must have been >50 photographers all lined up waiting for sunrise. I snapped off a few frames but I just couldn’t quite sit still having to jostle for space. As blue hour was reaching its peak, Alan and I decided at the last minute to make a bolt for Kirby Cove. Not wanting to miss any of the sky burn we literally sprinted down the trail. Photo backpacks and rain boots are not the ideal combo for running but we made do and miraculously made it all the way down in 10 minutes.
Down at Kirby Cove, there was not a single other photographer as Alan and I had the entire beach to ourselves. Better yet, the “treasure chest” lay at the center of the beach and was easily engulfed by the rising tides. A few minutes later the sky began burning. Although the burn never reached full potential the colors and reflected light was still a gem to witness.

Iguacu Falls or Iquazu Falls- Brasil and Argentina
Hotel das Cataratas on the left side
From UNESCO:
Iguazu National Park
The semicircular waterfall at the heart of this site is some 80 m high and 2,700 m in diameter and is situated on a basaltic line spanning the border between Argentina and Brazil. Made up of many cascades producing vast sprays of water, it is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. The surrounding subtropical rainforest has over 2,000 species of vascular plants and is home to the typical wildlife of the region: tapirs, giant anteaters, howler monkeys, ocelots, jaguars and caymans.
Since the weather hasn't been great for going outside, I decided to play around with a photo of a 1930 Ford Model A that I took some time back at a car show. This overall image was created with the help of Photoshop Elements and CorelDRAW. The original photo was taken with my Nikon D7000 and 18-105 f3.5-5.6 lens.
"Since Iris is the Greek goddess for the Messenger of Love, her sacred flower is considered the symbol of communication and messages. Greek men would often plant an iris on the graves of their beloved women as a tribute to the goddess Iris, whose duty it was to take the souls of women to the Elysian fields."

The State Fair of Texas is an annual state fair held in Dallas at historic Fair Park. The fair has taken place every year since 1886 except for varying periods during World War I and World War II. It usually begins the last Friday in September and ends 24 days later. The fair claims an annual attendance of over two million visitors through ticket scanning. The State Fair of Texas is considered one of the best in America as well as Dallas' signature event despite its troubled history.
Seen above is the Midway Entrance which puts you right into the Midway, the Kidway, and the Funway. Also found in this area is the Children's Museum, Neon Tex (photograph featured earlier in my photostream), and the Texas State Ferris Wheel (seen in the photograph above and also featured earlier in my photostream). Additionally, immediately adjacent to the Midway entrance is the famous Cotton Bowl Stadium (also previously featured in my photostream)...home of the Red River Rivalry, which is the centerpiece of the fair and the annual college football game between the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Since 1835 the oldest standing lighthouse in Newfoundland and Labrador has been welcoming the first morning rays of sunshine to hit North America. This National Historic Site was home to multi generations of lighthouse keepers. “The human history of Cape Spear Lighthouse is the story of the Cantwells. For over 150 years, generations of this famous family of lightkeepers resided at Cape Spear and worked tirelessly to maintain a light so vital to mariners.”
