Un grand merci à tous pour vos visites, vos commentaires, et vos favoris aussi, qui sont toujours très appréciés.
Je le vois souvent lors de mes séances à l'affût mais il est assez craintif et reste toujours loin de mon objectif....!!
Le rougegorge familier apparaît comme un petit oiseau rondelet avec des ailes relativement courtes atteignant péniblement le milieu de la queue.

A big thank you to all for your visits, your comments, and your favorites too, which are always very much appreciated.
I often see him during my sessions on the lookout but he is quite fearful and always stays far from my camera lens !!!
The house robin appears as a small, plump bird with relatively short wings reaching painfully to the middle of the tail.
...never stays at the barnyard, because grumpy cat cannot be trusted! Oh my gosh, this cat...I don't know how I missed seeing him whenever or wherever he was first released as a gacha from Rezz Room, but I was on a quest last night to get the new Great Dane from this creator, and wasn't sure which event to scamper to, so I hopped to the main store, and of course, got distracted by something else, which then led me to this grouchy cat! He's so funny, honestly, his expressions! Well, I am easily amused, but still. So, a rare adventure for me with a cat along for the fun instead of a pup! The horse concurs with me. He says, "don't trust the cat!" 🐐🐄🐴🐇🐈

Wind Song perfume, launched in 1953, for many years used the advertising jingle "Your Wind Song Stays On My Mind." Thanks to my wife for pointing that out when I was trying to come up with a title for this shot of her perfume bottle.

the afternoon sky stays still on a forest lake; for a while, all that moves is a small insect making circles on the water surface.../ Tiempo de desacelerar, el cielo de la tarde se ha detenido en un lago del bosque, lo único que se mueve es un pequeño insecto que dibuja círculos en la superficie del agua …/En tid att sakta ner, molnen speglar sig i Lafssjön, det enda som rör sig är en liten insekt som ritar cirklar i vattnet...
gently into the river...
Another day ends... and a night starts...
It's time to choose what stays... and maybe travel back... travel to a different time... to old days...
Close your eyes... chose a moment and follow the path to the door... open it... step into the memory...
"I can dream of the old days..."
"The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose."
George William Curtis
Whenever I approach a blooming rose, I cross my fingers and hope that there is that sweet scent released from the petals. A bit of online sleuthing led me to various articles sharing the latest science related to the scent of roses and how it might be possible to grow roses that once again have a sweet smell.
I found one article that seemed very interesting and worthy of sharing with others. Here is the link...

I just recently got back from a beautiful trip to Hawaii (Maui and Kauai). After losing my dad suddenly 3 months ago I needed a mental and physical break. Hawaii is a special and spiritual place and seeing some of the world’s most endangered birds really was special. Here is an ʻIʻiwi taken at Hosmer Grove IN Haleakala National Park. I felt blessed to go into the restricted access Waikamoi Preserve on the island of Maui and see intact native forests and endemic Hawaiian Honeycreepers. Luckily rapid ʻōhiʻa death has not reached this island and hope it stays that way. These birds depend on ʻōhiʻa trees to survive. This is why it’s so important to brush and spray your boots with alcohol before hiking in these fragile ecosystems to prevent the spread of rapid ohia death. This is a fungus that kills the trees and ultimately detrimentally impacts these Hawaiian Honeycreepers. Avian Malaria is a huge problem in Hawaii and so many good people are working with Incompatible Insect Technique (IIT) technology to try and help save these amazing finches. These Hawaiian birds inspire me with their resilience and for hanging on despite it all. Thanks to everyone in the Hawaiian Islands working so hard day and night to protect these birds and their habitats. I enjoyed my visit both by day and night at Haleakala National Park as at night I got to watch Hawaiian Petrels or ‘Ua’u calling and flying in to their burrows as they nest up at the summit of the crater. Listening to their calls was so moving and I delighted in watching them by flashlight as they flew in. Later I would go on to the island of Kauai where I saw one of the most critically endangered birds in the world an Akikiki which are actively being collected now in the wild to help save the 40 birds left in the wild. I also got to see the critically endangere Puaiohi as well in the Alakai forest in Kauai.
Petals
by Amy Lowell
Life is a stream
On which we strew
Petal by petal the flower of our heart;
The end lost in dream,
They float past our view,
We only watch their glad, early start.
Freighted with hope,
Crimsoned with joy,
We scatter the leaves of our opening rose;
Their widening scope,
Their distant employ,
We never shall know. And the stream as it flows
Sweeps them away,
Each one is gone
Ever beyond into infinite ways.
We alone stay
While years hurry on,
The flower fared forth, though its fragrance still stays.

Nothing in a society stays the same and that includes the economy. Factories close, people lose their jobs, brands disappear......
One such disappeared icon in the automobile industry was the Belgian top brand "Minerva". which began producing automobiles in 1904.
This brand was named after the Roman goddess Minerva, the goddess of wisdom and arts, and her image adorned every radiator cap on the Minervas as a small work of art.
Many Minervas were soon exported to England with which heads of state and others famous people were transported.
The brand became increasingly popular with the wealthy part of the world's population, and many members of the royal houses of Romania, Thailand and India, among others, drove them.
Over time, the automobiles were also exported to America and Australia and were a huge succes in these countries.
Thus, even the American car manufacturer Henri Ford drove around in a Minerva because of its famous "Sleeve Valva System" of the Minerva's engines.
This engine system was executed without the conventional valve system.
This system made it possible to significantly reduce the excessive noise produced by the conventional engines of the time.
Minerva automobiles were a very formidable competitor to Rolls Royce, Isotta-Franchine, Hispano-Suiza and Duesenburg, the other greats of this period.
However, the great Belgian automobile brand Minerva did not survive the Great economic crisis of 1930 and went bankrupt in 1934.....
The automobile in the photo is the 1921 Minerva 00-Tourer with a Van der Plas bodywork and was very popular with the world's wealthy population and this model was driven privately by Henri Ford.
The engine was equipped with a 6 inline cylinders and had a capacity of 5.355 cc and an output pf 30 HP and of course it is equipped with the "Sleeve Valve System".
The "Sleeve Valve System" is a four-stroke engine that does not use inlet and exhaust valves and a camshaft, but sliding or rotating shutoff slide in the cylinder wall.
Therefor , the great advantage of this system is undoubtedly its noiseless operation.
However, there are also disadvantages to it and this concerns that it needs a complicated construction and has less direct cooling.
A still working example with a complete original engine is very, very rare and is one of the most sought after examples for colectors.

I was just outside walking around and a huge branch came down from my neighbor's tree, more freezing rain to come. I sure hope the power stays on.
The photo was taken a few days ago as sunshine is rather rare again right now and Cleo mainly stays indoors. She doesn't know yet that we expect guests next weekend who may disturb her peaceful life. Charlie and Leo, my niece's cats, will stay with us for a few days.
Time decides who you meet in your life,
Your heart decides who you want to carry with you in your life
and your behavior decides who stays in your life.
An image going back to early autumn last year. This is a random area of the New Forest I've visited for years, not spectacular but a good place for practice and experimentation. I've come to feel great affection for it and its wildlife. However, forest management has caught up with it! To take the image, I'm stood in a great swathe that has been cut through the woods to give access and piles of logs are everywhere. Both sad and understandable as this part of the Forest has clearly been managed for timber which we all need of course. The view is across a plain that was felled years ago, now rich with growing saplings, just a sign that nothing stays the same!
♡ "Starts out gold, but never stays
The neon takes my breath away
And now I feel it in my veins
But I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to live this way
I don't want you to leave" ♫ ♡

"I Still Can See Your Face"
At least one moment everyday
I hear the echo of your voice
And though it's only in my mind,
It stays with me, I have no choice
I reached for you as if you're here
Your tender touch, your warm embrace
And though it's been so many years
I still can see your face

Taken at Malaika Park
I learned that who doesn't
look for you, doesn't miss you
and who doesn't miss you
doesn't care for you...
that destiny determines
who enters yours life but
you decide who stays...
that the truth hurts only once
and a lie everytime
you remember it
There are three things in life
that leave and never return...
words, time and opportunities..
Therefore, value who ever values you and dont treat
like a priority
who ever treats you like
as an option....

The wild and beautiful Vestrahorn mountain on the Stokksnes peninsula, also nicknamed 'Batman Mountain' with dramatic spiky peaks that reach 454 metres high into the sky.
At its base is a glorious black sand beach filled with undulating sand dunes and coastal vegetation that provides a stark contrast to the mountain. As the waves roll in, you can even capture a reflection of Vestrahorn as the water stays atop the sand for a few seconds, before drawing back out to the sea and seeping into the sand below.
You can just about make out the distinctive outline of batman Mountain on the far right-hand side.
The pine stays green in winter... wisdom in hardship.

Jasper rarely stays put when I want to photograph him. Usually he sees the camera pointed in his direction and turns his back or pretends to see something to chase and runs off.
Today he didn't seem to mind and I managed to get a few shots.
This tender fragile leaf stays as an synonym for Fragility. Not just in nature we often see something or someone that becomes very fragile to us!
Fragile refers to something or someone that is fragile and delicate. Fragile comes from the Latin fragilis, fragile. A glass can be very fragile, that is, very thin, easily broken. The psyche and constitution can also be very fragile, someone recovering after a grief, a disappointment, a mental crisis or a mental illness will be quite fragile for a while. For this reason, we should be considerate of people who are fragile, delicate and tender, because these qualities make a person a compassionate, humane and valuable fellow human being.
Thank you for visits, comments and favs!
Vielen Dank für Eure Besuche, Kommentare und Sternchen!

Everything passes and everything stays,
but our fate is to pass,
to pass making paths,
paths on the sea.
I never looked for glory,
nor to leave in the memory
of mankind my song;
I love subtle worlds,
lightnessful and gentile,
like soap bubbles.
I like to watch them painting
of sun and garnet, to fly
under the blue sky, tremble
suddenly and break...
I never looked for glory.
Walker, your treads are
the path and nothing more;
walker, there is no path,
the path is made when walking.
When walking the path is made
and when looking back
you see the path that never
has to be walked again.
Walker, there is no path,
but trails in the sea...
Antonio Machado

Nothing stays the same as life moves. Days, seasons and times of consciousness evolve. All we can do is look to the next change, focus and embrace all it brings.
