When you're all alone and lonely, in your midnight hour and you find that your soul it has been up for sale and you're getting to think about all the things that you done. And you're getting to hate just about everything. But remember the princess who lived on the hill, who loved you even though she knew you was wrong. And right now she just might come shining through... Glory of love.

You know, man, when I was a young man in high school, you believe in or not, that I wanted to play football for the coach. And all those older guys they said that he was mean and cruel but you know. I wanted to play football, for the coach. They said I was a little too lightweight to play lineback and so I'm playing right-end. Wanted to play football for the coach... fordecouuususshh

Listening to Carole King today… another old Rocker that’s made beautiful music for a number of years.
Carole King is an American singer, songwriter, and musician who has been active since 1958. King has made 25 solo albums, the most successful being Tapestry, which held the record for most weeks at No. 1 by a female artist for more than 20 years.
Her record sales were estimated at more than 75 million copies worldwide. She has won four Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She has been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a performer and songwriter.

The Hooded Merganser:
Spotted this Female Hooded Merganser Strutting Her Stuff after finishing a breakfast of Frog Legs alfresco. The legs were still attached to the frog, so it took her awhile to dine, but she seems to have had a Happy Ending : )
Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and rivers, where they dive for fish, crayfish, and other food, seizing it in their thin, serrated bills. They find their prey underwater by sight. They can actually change the refractive properties of their eyes to improve their underwater vision. In addition, they have an extra eyelid, called a “nictitating membrane,” which is transparent and helps protect the eye during swimming, like a pair of goggles.
Hooded Merganser ducklings leave their nest cavity within 24 hours of hatching. First, their mother checks the area around the nest and calls to the nestlings from ground level. From inside the nest, the little fluffballs scramble up to the entrance hole and then flutter to the ground, which may be 50 feet or more below them. In some cases, they have to walk half a mile or more with their mother to the nearest body of water.
The oldest recorded Hooded Merganser was a male and at least 14 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mississippi in 2009. He had been banded in Minnesota in 1995.

...There is a freedom more precious than the world. Infinitely more precious than life and the world is that moment when one is alone with God.” Rumi
Summer's end
There are some people who are bought into this world to be bigger than life. They’re born to change the pendulum and challenge what others aren’t prepared to face.
In a single image it’s hard to appreciate how big the facia of Glacier Grey is. In comparison to the world around it, the striking blue ice stands out as a giant, with a purpose and a place. As the years go on it’ll slowly disappear into history - to be taught in classrooms and remembered only in photos but in it’s prime it is simply spectacular.
Yesterday we lost a hero, someone who single handily changed history. They’re gone now and will only be remembered in the photos but in their prime they were simply spectacular.

Buildings of the business district "Red Hills". The construction took more than ten years; as a result, a business center, concert halls, a five-star hotel appeared here.
Moscow International House of Music (building on the right) is a modern center for the performing arts, which has no analogues in Russia. This is an independent production association that organizes performances by Russian and foreign symphony orchestras, chamber ensembles, instrumental soloists, opera and ballet artists, theater, jazz, pop and folk groups.
The dome of the House of Music is crowned with an emblem in the form of a treble clef-vane 9.5 meters high; by Zurab Tsereteli. The most complicated roller mechanism allows such a heavy construction to rotate according to the principle of a weather vane.

The Brain—is wider than the Sky—
For—put them side by side—
The one the other will contain
With ease—and You—beside—
The Brain is deeper than the sea—
For—hold them—Blue to Blue—
The one the other will absorb—
As Sponges—Buckets—do—
The Brain is just the weight of God—
For—Heft them—Pound for Pound—
And they will differ—if they do—
As Syllable from Sound—
Emily Dickinson, ‘The Brain is wider than the Sky’.

I know you crossed a bridge that I can't follow
I need more time but time can't be borrowed
I'd leave it all behind if I could follow
since the love that you left is all that I get
I want you to know that if I can't be close to you
I settle for the ghost of you
I miss you more than life ♬♪ (more than life) ♬♪
for a very special someone from my real life ♡♡♡

according to the description on the cover, this is the first (ever) illustrated edition of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Philosophers's Stone" ... and the illustrations are such a beautiful work of art by Jim Kay (but they wouldn't fit into a MM frame ; ))

I will be catching up in the late evening. HMM !
More brightly colored than most wrens, and with a rich musical song, Carolina Wrens are common in open woods and backyards in the southeast. There they busily explore brush piles and low tangles. The adults live in pairs all year, and they may "duet" at any season, with the female giving a chattering note while the male sings. The northern edge of this species' range varies over time: it gradually expands northward during series of mild years, then gets knocked southward again by very severe winters.
Found this one in my backyard in Lake Wales, Florida.
Nothing makes it feel more like the holidays are truly here than getting the chance to spend time with the friends we love. So you can just imagine my delight when Pengy and Pengu arrived for a Christmas visit with me and Corgsz! Happy twirlszzz! It was a joyful afternoon, filled will laughter and fun!
Little Pengy is so thoughtful, and brought me such lovely gifts! He knows I’m a Georgia Peach, and a mad crazy football fan, so he gifted me the most amazing peach cocktail set, I’m in love with it! And as if that wasn’t incredible enough, he also gave me a magical, good luck football themed handbag that would help ensure wins for my Bulldogs! He also insisted on modeling it for me, and put it around his neck as soon as I opened it! That little rascal!
Pengy loves his snacks, so I gave him a deluxe French fry vending machine, so he can always have hot fries on hand, and I balanced that with some healthier homemade soup and a set of penguin themed mugs...he loves to drink hot chocolate, so that’s what he and Corgsz sipped while Pengu and I indulged in delish peach cocktails! And like all kiddos, lil Pengy likes things that twinkle, so Corgsz chose to gift his friend a light up bunny!
We all had such a lovely day, and our favorite little penguin shows us with each stop on his friendship holiday tour that what matters most in life is our connections to those we hold dear. Thank you my dear Pengu and Pengy, for the treasured gift of friendship, all year through. And for including me in your beautiful, heartwarming holiday series. Love to you both, and to beautiful Andie girl....happiest of holidays to you all!
Wishing everyone a wonderful, magical week! 💕🎄🐇🐧🍑🍷🍟🏈🐶💕
🎧 Hear what I feel ► to play 🎧
You got a way with words
You take away the hurt
And it’s a blessing and a curse to feel it all
You got a way with me
You put me in my place when I’m petty
Gimme what I want when I’m ready
You always hold it down
Anybody else I’d be gone by now
Doesn’t really matter
All that really matters
second I’m with you
All my love pour out
Serve it on a platter
All that really matters
All that really matters is
You keep showing up
promise I’ll remind you that you
Are More than enough
I get lost inside
All the stars in your eyes
It’s a galaxy
You control the tide
like the moon in the sky
You’re the gravity ...
The sun had just set behind me - the sky was not as exciting as I had wanted, but I still thought it was an interesting scene. Captured with a seven-part panorama.

I made this shot last month during the Lincoln County Photo Festival. The workshop was scheduled for a Saturday night with a core rising at around 10:15 and the moon to soon follow at 10:45, that leaves us about a half hour to get a shot provided the clouds cooperated. I'm always at odds with the weather because I'm usually wanting the best of both worlds, clouds in the morning and a clear sky at night than cloud up again in the mooring for sunrise. I know it's a tall order and it's only happened a few times over the last three years but I'm usually ecstatic to get two out of three. The shoot went well and the participants where happy with the class but I felt the best chances for a good comp and position would be the following night, so I decided to stay one more day and return by myself and take another stab at it. I like this location because I can back my car up with the hatch up while taking this photo on a comfy pad with a cold drink to my left and my iPod to the right. Who could ask for more.

Less exuberant than the males of the species, now I present two photos of females of Brazilian Ruby Hummingbird/ Heliodoxa rubricauda.
In my observation of the behavior of these females they seem less territorialists than the males. I saw many of them sharing food without fights, something very uncommon between the males of the species.
Maybe I'm wrong, correct me the specialists, please!

At the same place than the cormorant the Heron too got a catfish. Sorry for the IQ but I did it after sunset and so without any light, so their is some movement blur because to limit the ISO I used a slow shutter speed. Then in post processing I have had to brighten the héron and the water.
A la meme place que le cormoran, le héron a attrapé lui aussi un poisson chat. Désolé pour la qualité d'image, mais je l'ai prise après le coucher du soleil, donc sans lumière, donc il y a du flou de mouvement car pour limiter les ISO j'ai utilisé un temps de pose long. Ensuite en post procesing j'ai du ajouter de la lumière pour faire ressortir le héron et l'eau.

"Every Christmas wreath is more than just a decoration...
it's a special reminder of Jesus, the reason for our celebration.
The circle of a Christmas wreath is an never-ending ring,
a reminder of eternal love from our Lord and King.
The Christmas wreath is a sign of welcome, inviting all to enter in...
a reminder of Christ's invitation for all to come to Him.
The middle of a Christmas wreath is a bare and empty space,
a reminder of what life would be without Christ's love and grace.
So each time you see a Christmas wreath hanging from a door,
may your heart rejoice in the One that Christmas is truly for!"

More Than Words - Extreme
Now that I've tried to
Talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close, don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know
Nothing better than walking down the street and people just start krumpin'
** noun a style of dancing to popular music, especially hip-hop, characterized by rapid, exaggerated movements of the arms and legs

Here's the second photo from last Monday night when I was treated to several magnificent courting dances by a pair of young swans at Whitlingham Country Park. I'd deliberately gone at a time when there would be beautiful lighting, but couldn't have predicted being so close to such a romantic natural display of affection. I feel so privileged, and I do hope you enjoy the images <3<3
