Impressions from my first trip to Helgoland

In my mind I can fly like a bird - the wind lifts me high into the sky and I let my imagination soar!
Day by day, as seasons pass, we each spread our light.
Some shine from bright places with petals freshly unfurled,
while others glow softly, from the dark, with petals torn and burned.
From wherever we may come; to wherever we may go,
We each have our special place to spread our light and grow.
Sharing a simple rose from my garden that was spreading it's light to the refreshing rain while waiting for the sunset. I felt that monochrome best captured the atmosphere of the moment. I'll post a later shot in color a bit down the road. Wishing everyone a great day ahead. Thanks for the favs and kind comments. They are much appreciated!
Close-up framing of a Western Reef Heron in flight with its wings outstretched over the sea. Also known as the Western Reef Egret, it has a long pointed beak and yellowish feet, which are visible as it flies.
The bird's flight creates a sense of motion blur visible in its wings and the background water.
Wings allow birds and other creatures to soar above limitations, symbolizing the ability to break free from constraints and explore new horizons.
The first Monday of October is World Day of Bullying Prevention. This happens in schools, online, and even here on Flickr and SL. This post was inspired by Dax's song Joker.
So what's your excuse, what helps you sleep?
You leave a negative comment
Not knowing that what you sow, you will reap
I bet you smile when you post, thinking you're hurting me
But you see the way the brain works
You become what you speak
I need peace, but y'all can't offer that
I held my ground, I didn't sell my soul
I said f the fame, y'all can't take that offer back
F a shelf, you can't take me off the rack
All the fame is not worth a heart attack
You're insane, you're in pain, I can tell by what you're saying
But my bad, I forgot you were fragile
I forgot someone who doesn't even know me told you I'm an ahole
I forgot that I'm a villain
I forgot that I've always spread positivity, but you think I didn't
I forgot that hatred stems from people who hate their own existence
I forgot I'm better off alone
I forgot I care for everyone's happiness, but forget about my own
I forget I spend every waking second on my phone-
Come join my circus, I'm recruiting
I'm taking everyone who passes judgement
Bitch, that's including everyone who thinks it's so amusing
To put me down while I'm pursuing
The keyboard warriors that live online
Behind a screen that's just an illusion
Come, come, come, come join my circus
If the wild bird could speak
She'd tell of places you had been
She's been in my dreams
And she knows all the ways of the wind

For my niece... I hope you spread your wings and you start to work on your adult life plans. The world is out there waiting for you, and a strong young woman like you can take to the sky with no limits.
The sun was about to dip below the horizon on this first evening of the Lunar Year of Snake...
Happy Lunar New Year to those who celebrate it; may the Snake bring you bountiful of joy and happiness!
Dawn's early light spreads across the frosty prairie and a frosty Plains Bison. The catch light in his eye is so large that it almost looks artificial - but I didn't alter it at all.

A juvenile bald eagle flies by.
Wikipedia: The plumage of the immature (bald eagle) is a dark brown overlaid with messy white streaking until the fifth (rarely fourth, very rarely third) year, when it reaches sexual maturity.
Sanctuary
(Christman Preserve, New York)
I prowled up the gorge, crossing and recrossing the stream where water spread out over the bedrock, daring it to top my Vibram soles. The Bozenkill is a captive of the shale, whose ledges alternately channel and pool the flow along the bed. The walk upstream enclosed me between ever-steepening hillsides, and after awhile I entered a chapel of sorts, disturbing it with human sounds. I left my load on the bank, and stood awhile in a shallow nave with no trace of pilgrims, my eyes walking up the steps into a sanctuary towards which all things seemed to bow. Stone and wood often define sacred places, but I suppose we differ on structure. I took some salvation nevertheless, watching troubles glide by like specks of light froth. And then I bailed to higher ground, struggling against the incline, headed for the asylum of the trail above me.

Unlike this year, the ice was melting off the lakes to welcome
the waterfowl migrating back.
The waterfowl are arriving to ice on lakes and flooding in fields or fields still covered in snow in April of this year.
In a flood watch/warning for the next two weeks
It has turned much colder for the weekend with
chances of freezing rain and snow mix.
On the news last night, they showed a heron on a lake that was frozen with thick ice and it did not look happy.
Geese and swans have been flying over the house almost daily but for mating and nesting with weather and flooding not sure many offspring will survive.
Recent photos I have all have snow so went to my archives
today.
A yellow-crowned night heron (Nyctanassa violacea) coming in for a landing. I was following it from a distance but just before it arrived some reeds came between us. Nevertheless, firing off shots left one in which there was a clean line of sight to the head, while the rest of the bird was left partially obstructed. I suspect this is the reason behind the low contrast. I very much like the overall look. Unfortunately, it isn't a look that I could easily replicate.
All favs and comments are very much appreciated!
Happy Holidays to all!
Earth Star Fungus (Geastrum triplex)
In the craziness yesterday I forgot to get a photo of the Earthstar, this is how it looks today.
The expansive Cheyenne Mountain—former headquarters of the joint Canadian/American North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)—spans the horizon near Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Neotropic cormorant
it's nearly all-black waterbird with a snaky neck, It is smaller and longer-tailed than other cormorants, but otherwise looks very similar to the Double-crested Cormorant, and the two species often flock together. Unlike its larger cousin, it sometimes plunge-dives for fish from a few feet above the water, almost like a booby, though it dives mostly as it paddles along the water’s surface, catching fish as it darts through the water.

A magical few minutes on top of Pen y fan in the Brecon Beacons, when the overriding colour was grey. This was one of the few places where the tripod wasn't blown over, so the tranquil looking ridge curving round to Cribyn, was far from it. I'm off down the beach again today, after a cultural day in Bath yesterday. Love spreads is by The Stone Roses, and I love winter so it's fine.
...you have them not without reason :)
