There's something very sexy about being submisive,
Because your guard is down,
you have totally surrender to something like that.

Have a great weekend, everyone. Thanks so much for your visit!
In contrast to many marsh birds that are very leery of human visitors, this Sora was very adventurous and completely ignored us. That provided the opportunity to observe and photograph it at close range.
Seen at Celery Fields, Florida.

We visited Roseberry Topping for a last try with the Bluebells [which are past their best]. I spotted this rusted steel frame, erected by the National Trust and set my mind on framing a shot.
Sometimes bad events in life take you on the path to where you want to be. Learn from your experiences and make new choices. Trust who you are and what you can do.
The Trust was founded in 1895 by Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley to "promote the permanent preservation for the benefit of the Nation of lands and tenements (including buildings) of beauty or historic interest". It was given statutory powers, starting with the National Trust Act 1907.
Once the big elephants have dug holes to reach the waters, they are often too deep for the little ones to reach down easily. They often duck their whole heads into the holes, leaving them vulnerable to predators, as they then cannot see their surroundings any longer. Their herd thus stays very close by and watches the youngsters have their fill, or give a gentle push, if they somehow need help getting back out of the waterhole.
In either case, you rarely find a very young elephant on or near a waterhole, without an adult very nearby. Their tight family bonds are amazing to see.
Hello lovelies! Here’s a new self portrait from a month ago, taken while living on the road/chasing autumn around the Canadian Rockies for 4 weeks. While trying to think of a description for this photo (always takes me forever to decide what to write for you all, hehe), I realized maybe just this excerpt from my journal scribblings would nicely sum up my thoughts from the time I created this image. 😊
“Everything is such a gift. The flat tires that bring together friends and memories and kindness. The freezing nights that bring my hands to my heart under the blankets in the back of the car – my heart, my source of warmth and gratitude. The plans that change, bringing new opportunities. The pursuit of muffins and coffee, bringing smiles and laughter and little day-making connections with strangers. Impressions that might change the course of a life. Heart-dropping moments of uncertainty that reveal the unwavering calm I didn’t know I had. The friendships that deepen with every shared triumph and heartbreak. The heartbreak that breaks me open and leads me back to the depths within my own heart, back to the ultimate love I could ever receive. The kind of love that fills you with such a profound peace and begins to shine outward and overflow into everything it touches. The kind of love that is not searching for anything, but is just being, embracing, feeling and holding gently every moment it’s presented with. The kind of love that does not even think about control – it only trusts. Builds and trusts. The kind of love that holds you right here, right now - where every moment is a mysterious teacher. Where every moment is a curious gift. Where every moment is, in fact, a new beginning.”

The very elegant and magnificent Fallow Deer (Dama dama) in the parkland of the National Trust's Tatton Park in Cheshire. Truly amazing to observe them in their small herds. It's clear they are used to people being in their presence, I still kept my distance so I was able to capture them in a relaxed natural state grazing.
Fallow Deer.
Introduced, but naturalised species. Protected in the UK under the Deer Act 1991.
The fallow deer is variable in colour, but is mostly pale gingery-brown, with white spots on the back, a characteristic black and white tail and a white rump patch outlined in black. Some animals are darker brown without any spots, and others are very pale, almost white.
Fallow deer are native to Asia and were introduced into the UK by the Normans around the 11th century.
