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

Living on the edge - From the other side (B&W). Although I grew up in a working class area of a big city I find myself drawn to photograph the the coast and the junction of land, sea and sky. Mankind has been part of this landscape for thousands of years and we are now as much a part of it as the waves.
Blakeney Point at Blakeney, Norfolk, England is a spit of land that stretches out into the sea from Cley. It provide safe moorings for boats in the naturally protected Blakeney Harbour and the end is home to England's largest grey seal colony with around 4,000 pups born each year. The building is the old lifeboat house which is now an exhibition centre and home to the National Trust wardens that look after the area and colony.

Have a great weekend, everyone. Thanks so much for your visit!
I think it being quite a hot day , a number of deer were resting by the wall of Knole taking advantage of a bit of shade .
Taken at Knole House and Deer Park near Sevenoaks , a National Trust property .
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.
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.”

This beautiful Robin was very content to perch on my husband's hand for some seed. Very trusting and such a wonderful nature encounter.
The Archives Revisited.
November 2008.
Another trip to Slimbridge in Gloucestershire.
The Northern Shoveler is my favourite duck to photograph.
There were at least fourteen male Shovelers flying back and forth over the lagoon, but only three females that i could see and they stayed firmly on the water.

Following the purchase of GWR Castle Class No.7029 Clun Castle in January 1966 by Patrick Whitehouse, the locomotive needed a base close to its central West Midlands supporters' base. Whitehouse found space available at Tyseley, on the site of the former GWR depot, and formed 7029 Clun Castle Ltd to own both the locomotive and the rights to stable it at the depot.
In October 1968, 7029 Clun Castle Ltd purchased LMS Jubilee Class No.5593 "Kolhapur". With further locomotives and railway artefacts available as a result of the Beeching Axe, the supporters established the Standard Gauge Steam Trust as a registered educational charity, to preserve and demonstrate the steam locomotives. Following negotiations the trust acquired a long-term lease on a large part of the Tyseley site, and established the Tyseley Collection which still owns the locomotives and artefacts via the limited company, the depot site became the "Birmingham Railway Museum".
The trust cleared buildings and repaired the dilapidated tracks, and two water columns were repaired to allow steam locomotives to stay at the site. In 1968 the old coaling stage was converted into a two-road shed with an inspection pit to hold both acquired locomotives. In November 1966 Clun Castle was stripped and restored.
In 1999 the trust achieved its long-held objective of running a regular steam train service on the national main line railway network: the Shakespeare Express between Birmingham Snow Hill and Stratford-upon-Avon. At this point the trust felt that the term museum was inappropriate for its new status, and hence separated its assets and operations into two new organisations, Tyseley Locomotive Works and the operating arm Vintage Trains, with the third arm remaining the Tyseley Collection.
