Well level 4 lockdown end may be in sight for us in New Zealand. Which will mean I can again go out to photograph sunsets and sunrises. Like this one taken 14th January 2018, Taken from Te Mata Peak looking over a misty Tuki tuki valley out to the east coast. Hawke's Bay New Zealand
The black-blotched porcupinefish (Diodon liturosus), also known as shortspine porcupinefish, is a member of the family Diodontidae. It is found in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-Pacific on coral and rocky reefs and in inshore waters. Other names are the blotched porcupinefish and the brown-backed porcupinefish.

There is no other bird quiet like the Black Skimmer in North America. This day the wind was just right and they were taking off in just the right direction, to capture them head on.

There is a lot to see in the friendly Belgian Lier in the province of Antwerp. The city park is definitely worth a visit. In May of this year I enjoyed a long walk through Lier and the nature in the park is very colorful. This bridge is a work of art in itself and many people stop to look at the beautiful landscape where the colors of nature make the white bridge even more beautiful.
Cleo rarely visits the world on the other side of the fence as usually she doesn't see any sense in summoning the energy for such an endeavor. It's not easy for a cat of her size to climb over a fence. She has a ladder on my side of the fence which makes it easier for her but there still remains the big question how to get back. The neighbour hasn't seriously considered yet to put a ladder on his side of the fence as well. When Cleo has ended up in the neighbouring garden and wants to return home she often rather walks around the neighbour's house and along the street to our front door where she has to wait until someone finally lets her in. As she can't reach the door bell that can take a while. If she is lucky a neighbour who sees her informs me that "the big cat" is waiting in front of the door. Cleo doesn't consider "big cat" as a compliment, btw. :) Happy Fence Friday !
There is nothing better than having a camera at a boring party :-)

It was a foggy morning here today and I couldn’t resist trying to capture some of the mood. This shot was looking down my driveway where a glimpse of the first rays of dawn were attempting to break the gloom.
On the way(train) to Jungfraujoch-Top of Europe.
Here is:
Fantastic Monday.
Over there is:
More fantastic Tuesday@
前往少女峰途中.
"in pitch dark i go walking in your landscape.
broken branches trip me as i speak.
just because you feel it doesnt mean it's there.
just because you feel it doesnt mean it's there.
there's always a siren
singing you to shipwreck.
(don't reach out, don't reach out)
steer away from these rocks
we'd be a walking disaster.
(don't reach out, don't reach out)
just because you feel it doesn't mean it's there.
(there's someone on your shoulder)
just because you feel it doesn't mean it's there.
(there's someone on your shoulder)
there there
why so green and lonely?
heaven sent you to me.
we are accidents
waiting waiting to happen.
we are accidents
waiting waiting to happen."

backstory.
my mom died 37 years ago. when my dad decided to allow her things to be cleared out before he remarried, my sister went through mama's things and decided who should get what. she took all the diamond jewelry and sent me some garnets which I had never seen. I already had an old rocking chair. after my dad died I would get his desk.
at the first of this year, I read a story in the New Yorker about a company in NYC that takes old heirloom jewelry which has been lying in jewelry boxes unused and makes pieces more relevant to the times. [spurjewelry.com/pages/faqs-1] I thought of all those garnets. so I emailed the company and scheduled a phone conference. it took over a month just to get the phone appointment. once I talked with the jewelry designer and sent her photos of what I had, I was sent a prepaid insured box in which to send the jewelry. meanwhile the designers were drawing up choices for me. I sent the box off to NYC after I chose which design I wanted.
[picture of my jewelry in comments below. the circle pin is mine, the gold band was my wedding ring from my first marriage. the rest was my mom's. any and all gold could be melted down to put into my ring and I would receive a credit]
that was 3 months ago.
today a package came in the mail with my new ring and the leftover stones. lots of leftovers.
btw, the only reason I could afford this ring was a gift of $$ from my elder son and his partner. If I had more money I would use up those stones in another ring, but not for now.
I have the ring on tonight and it's beautiful. my mom gave me her diamond earrings before she died. they weren't diamonds, but who cares. the ring has her earrings on the top and is encircled with the garnets.
the designer was wonderful to work with and it was an exciting experience.
happy things.
pardon my wrinkly arthritic hands, they are old working hands, just like my grandma's.
