On my way home I found this little feather resting on fragile flower bed. I don't know why but it really reminds me of the book by Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being. “Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”
Tomorrow I will go to the library and find this book and read it again. I do think November is a great month to drink hot chocolate milk and read a lot of books.

At the very end of the dunes stands the old watchman who do feels the tension and the unrest while he looks the surrounding at ease.
At his feet the tide is rising and the sea lips and murmurs slowly through the sand.
In the distance he hears the growling waves appoaching..........

Inland the wind picked up and it was as if the heaven leaden sky would compress everything in its way.
The reed bent so far as if it were trying to break free from the earth to flee.
The last rays of the sun would soon give way to a macabre darkness........

Meanwhile dark clouds chase the sky and every now and then the moon gets a change to break trough.
The high tide line then becomes visible for a short moment and in the distance wild crests are silhouetted against the darkness.
I must get away from this creepy place because if I wait any longer, I will be surrounded by the raging surf.
The spectacle of the sea being whipped by its ally the wind takes on a monstrous appereance.

Psalm 73:19 “How desolate they become in a mere moment! Terrifying judgments make their demise complete!”

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men
who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind
their own business and provide for themselves and those they love.
They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and
permanent change of life that will come from it.
They know, that the moment they fight back their lives
as they have lived them, are over.
The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to
fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing
off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up
violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy
vengeance against those who murdered their former lives.
They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed
by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror.
TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people's door, and they will
cry, scream, and beg for mercy...but it will fall upon the deaf
ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone. "
Early in the morning the sea and the wind reach their peak and it is like a wild orgasm of whipped high waves and drifting sand.
It's almost impossible to keep straight while you're sandblasted.
Stormclouds chase trough the sky and the storm rages on and on........

Job 3:5 “Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.”
Lesser long-nosed bat looking for nectar startled and terrified this praying mantis.
chiroptophobia (fear of bats)
for murdering mice......actually the wonderful dolt just plays with them, undoubtedly terrifying the deer mice out of significant growth (they're all in counseling) carrying them about then leaving them covered in saliva to scurry into hiding.....for another day of fun.
This is our 100 year old Forest Service Summer Cabin that, at 6800 ft. elevation is now buried in several feet of snow (hooray!....wet snow). We used to ski or snowshoe in during the winter, and have had numerous Christmas visits in the past, but are too old to go to the effort now. Good memories!! and a 20 minute drive to Lake Tahoe and it's glorious views. And the really nice part is that when we tire of the snow, we bundle back in the car and the 3 hour drive puts us back in clear snow-free sunny NapaSonoma hillsides. The wine tastes good in either place.
The cat is thinking.....'there are mice out there...I Know It!'

Tormenta desde Alcala de Moncayo. Podeis ver una terrorifica figura en la nube de la izquierda ?? Parece una figura de alguien muy enfadado.
A Shikra (Accipiter badius) was intensely watching underneath movements of probable victim for the taking with merciless eyes. Its cold look was enough to stop the heart bit of any prey! I was greatly impressed by the tough personality of the raptor and luckily got the perfect angle with good light to frame it. Pics was taken from Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India.

In your arms,
I'm in my safe haven.
With you holding me tight,
I have no other craving.
All I need,
Is that one look,
That says you're always there,
Just like in a fairy-tale book.
Your eyes talk to me,
as the world stands still.
My once empty heart,
now with love does fill.
Your eyes tell me,
that you'll love me every day.
No matter what may come,
You'll be there to stay.
If only I could explain,
how much love I have for you.
Just know that I'd cross oceans of time
To tell you that always and forever
That I'll be yours if you'll be mine.
OK maybe tiny dragon buttons are probably not so terrifying .

For a while there, it was rough
But lately, I've been doin' better
Than the last four cold Decembers
I recall
And I see my family every month
I found a girl my parents love
She'll come and stay the night
And I think I might have it all
And I thank God every day
For the girl He sent my way
But I know the things He gives me
He can take away
And I hold you every night
And that's a feeling I wanna get used to
But there's no man as terrified
As the man who stands to lose you
The formation of clouds in the sky, which seem to originate from the mountain in the background, creates the effect of an explosion. But such an effect appears even more terrifying if you know that the mountain is a volcano ... and not just any volcano... but that it is the famous Vesuvius, which destroyed Pompeii in 79 AD!!!
When I zoomed in on this cowboy’s expression riding a bronco at the Ft Myers Rodeo I couldn’t believe it. Looks like a cover from the Saturday Evening Post.
"Then she was terrified, and wanted to fling off the red shoes, but they clung fast; and she pulled down her stockings, but the shoes seemed to have grown to her feet. And she danced, and must dance, over fields and meadows, in rain and sunshine, by night and day; but at night it was the most fearful.
She danced over the churchyard, but the dead did not dance--they had something better to do than to dance. She wished to seat herself on a poor man's grave, where the bitter tansy grew; but for her there was neither peace nor rest; and when she danced towards the open church door, she saw an angel standing there. He wore long, white garments; he had wings which reached from his shoulders to the earth; his countenance was severe and grave; and in his hand he held a sword, broad and glittering.
"Dance shalt thou!" said he. "Dance in thy red shoes till thou art pale and cold! Till thy skin shrivels up and thou art a skeleton! Dance shalt thou from door to door, and where proud, vain children dwell, thou shalt knock, that they may hear thee and tremble! Dance shalt thou--!"
"Mercy!" cried Karen. But she did not hear the angel's reply, for the shoes carried her through the gate into the fields, across roads and bridges, and she must keep ever dancing."

Oh & TY Lucas for the pose :))
A horrific collision of extended drought, low humidity, high winds, and an unknown ignition source led to this maelstrom of fire and smoke on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Named the Calwood fire for the geographic location nearest its ignition point, this conflagration burned rapidly through over 7500 acres (3000 ha, 12 square miles) in around 3 hours, ending its terrible trip for the day with the destruction of 26 homes near the base of the mountains. Thankfully no one was injured or killed, though when I took this picture I was convinced it had gone through one of the mountain towns (Jamestown) without much warning, and feared far more damage had been done. Fortunately the fire had gone north of Jamestown through mostly uninhabited areas. The march across the landscape featured pillars of fire as stands of pines exploded, multiple fire vortexes and spiraling smoke clouds, generation of pyrocumulus clouds, and a fascinating diversity of smoke cloud shapes and colors. For scale the core of the fire is 7 miles (11 km) away from where this photo was taken.
Yes indeed, it is likely one could attribute this fire to climate change associated with the long drought we’ve had, yet fire is a major part of this landscape, and droughts occur in La Niña years such as the one we are experiencing. Fires can occur in the fall, but they require an idiot to start them as lightning is usually absent at this time of year. A much larger fire to the north (Cameron Peak fire) has been burning since August, and has now consumed 206,000 acres (83,000 ha, 322 sq miles). A smaller fire (Lefthand Canyon fire) that started the day after the Calwood fire has consumed 460 acres and threatens the Mountain Research Station where I have worked for the past 31 years. All of these fires are negatively impacting the health of people downwind who breath the smoke and fine particulates from the fires. Of course parts of California are experiencing even greater impacts from larger, more frightening fires that have been going on much of the late summer and early fall as well.
The top floor had terrified me, quite frankly. Even Michael didn't like it and he's as stoic and calm as they come. We quickly descended to the floor below and walked through the long corridors, lined by these rectangular spaces, each which would have been a room in someone's flat.
In another life.
I always imagine building sites and occasionally these derelict places having wall-to-wall glass when finished. That's never the case - glass is expensive and I guess people need wall space to put stuff against. But still, in my head I could see this as a finished room with the hole in front of me as one giant. It would be marvellous.
Poor little Lady bird stayed completely still as the Hornets munched on the pear , it was fascinating watching them interact with each other x
A Moniter Lizard, taken at Taronga Park Zoo. They are truly beautiful animals, but it would be terrifying to meet one in the wild.
As much as I love the ocean, I don't get in it! Sure, I enjoy walking in the surf, but I draw the line at knee level. I'm not a strong swimmer and the thought of losing touch with the ground beneath me triggers a shiver of existential terror!
This coast is not a region for ocean swimming anyway. Nobody does it except for the occasional oblivious tourist, who won't stay long in the 45-degree water (7 C). Only the rugged surfers in wet suits are sometimes seen in the water, and I admire their courage and strength.
I stand at the edge of this danger and look at the dark sea that could quietly swallow me. For a moment, like in a dream, I seem to grasp the reality of existence that we all share. The ocean teaches deep respect and awe.
