"I take the night train, I take an airplane
'Cause you belong to me
I just wanna say, ain't gonna let you getaway
'Cause you belong to me.
I only wanna ho-o-old you
I just wanna ho-o-old you
C'mon let me ho-o-old you, tonight.
You say ain't leaving, I can't help dreaming
You belong to me
I take the highway, I take the low way
Don't you belong to me.
I only wanna ho-o-old you
I just wanna ho-o-old you
C'mon let me ho-o-old you, tonight.
C'mon
End up drinking, get's me thinking
You belong to me
While you're out there, remember I'm right here
And you belong to me.
I only wanna ho-o-old you,
I just wanna ho-o-old you
C'mon let me ho-o-old you
C'mon let me ho-o-old you
Tonight"

So, this shot has been sitting on my hard drive since I took it back in January 2017, I loved the fractured reflection and the sort of dark, surreal alternate reality it conveyed with golden glitter and distorted classic architecture. It's as if the building is saying, "Look at me" but it's not real, it's a distortion of reality taken from the surrounding buildings. Take away the reflection and it's dark building that struggles to convey power and strength, a false power and strength but alluring all the same. So it's with this in mind that it never got posted.
I decided to post it today because of some factors that seem to have come together. One is the obvious end of a four year nightmare and one has to do with me just missing a good walk in the city due to COVID. I've been looking through my archive folders at city pics that never were posted and thinking now is the time. Along this line, I was conversing with Leon, a new contact here on Flickr and was a bit surprised to find that he hadn't seen any architectural shots in my photostream. The reason goes back to not being able to get to NYC or any city for that matter since COVID started so not much architectural or travel photography in quite some time.
With this in mind it seems the time is right to post this shot.
If you read
what this April
rain writes
on gold leaves
in transparent ink,
a blurring script
of how what falls
through air
from nowhere
and shimmers,
for the moment,
a book of days
of unsayable
syllables, lovely,
nevertheless,
bejeweled,
reflective
of late light
along the deckle
edge, dissolving,
running off, falling
again, as all brief
infatuations do
into silence,
perhaps, in time
bittersweet memory,
then you know
the feeling.

I took a drive through rural Indiana yesterday. I've driven most of the roads plenty of times before but still find something new to photograph each time. Also sad to see a few old places have disappeared or are quickly disappearing, but more on that later.
This old house stands in the shadows of the surrounding trees. Vines typically cover the walls making it blend in with the surrounding landscape. However on this rather cool day in early spring, you can see this house and all of its glory.

Green Heron scratching that itch, having a bad hair day too... I could hardly hold the camera still (no tripod of course) because I was laughing, good thing I was far away, didn't want to disturb!!
Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday! HWW too!
Thank you for your visit and support!
Palm trees, ocean breeze.
Salty air , sun kissed hair,
that endless summer......
take me there....

Many viewers have commented that The Guardian Building (originally The Union Trust Company Building) reminded them of a church.
This picture shows approximately half of the bank lobby on the main floor. Imagine the original bank building with 60-90 bank teller cages lining the entire length of both sides of this "nave". The ceiling was composed of a 3/4 inch (1.9cm) of horsehair and coated with a layer of plaster cement. Then, a canvas layer was applied, and painted with designs reminiscent of the patterns of Navajo rugs. This was a sound-deadening system.
The "altar piece" ( I suppose) was the three-story mural of the map of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Highlighted were the major Michigan moneymakers of the1890s to 1920s: mining, manufacturing, lumber, fishing, commerce, and agriculture. It was completed in 1929, unfortunately the year of the beginning of "The Great Depression".
This superbly decorated Art-Deco bank building was nicknamed "The Cathedral of Finance." So, if the earlier pictures reminded you of a church (reprised in the first comment below) --you were very observant : -)
Seems that all herons make this maneuver from the tip of the beak to the back for the final swallow. The green heron is no exception.
...that matches your heels, well, its a moment of happy! I was wandering through this pretty sim, and it was a breath of fresh cheerful air and a respite from the snowy landscapes, that although are pretty, are essentially alien to me since it doesn't snow where I live. I was scampering about in my sassy yellow shoes when I spotted this door...inspiration grasped me! I think I might be becoming an artist, y'all! haha Kidding! I was in the mood for a cheery color palette today though. :)
An incredibly beautiful woodpecker that is found in the Himalayan forests and maybe a few other pockets in the country. It has a rich yellow and green mixed color which I found to be spectacular. The bird is also quite large compared to many other woodpeckers I have seen. The behaviours are similar to the others, but then these birds do come to the ground. We have sighted them foraging on the lower canopies and sometimes middle canopy unlike a few which are exclusive to the higher canopy.
There is another Lesser Yellownape as well which I was fortunate enough to sight and shoot. Both are amazingly beautiful! The differences are clear, but both share the same color and feather patterns except for a patch of red for the Lesser Yellownape on the crown.
Many thanks in advance for the faves and feedback.

Yellowhammer - Emberiza Citrinella
The yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella) is a passerine bird in the bunting family that is native to Eurasia and has been introduced to New Zealand and Australia. Most European birds remain in the breeding range year-round, but the eastern subspecies is partially migratory, with much of the population wintering further south. The male yellowhammer has a bright yellow head, streaked brown back, chestnut rump and yellow underparts. Other plumages are duller versions of the same pattern. The yellowhammer is common in open areas with some shrubs or trees, and forms small flocks in winter. Its song has a rhythm like "A little bit of bread and no cheese". The song is very similar to that of its closest relative, the pine bunting, with which it interbreeds.
Yellowhammer males learn their songs from their fathers, and over the course of time regional dialects have developed, with minor differences to the conclusion of the basic song; all are mutually recognised by birds from different areas. Each male has an individual repertoire of song variants within its regional dialect; females tend to mate with males that share their dialect, and prefer those with the largest repertoires.
The pine bunting and yellowhammer are so closely related that each responds to the other's song. The male yellowhammer's song is more attractive to females, and is one reason for the dominance of that species where the ranges overlap.
Yellowhammers of the British and Irish race, E. c. caliginosa were introduced to New Zealand by local acclimatisation societies in 1862, and soon spread over the main islands. They sometimes visit New Zealand's subantarctic islands, although rarely staying to breed, and have reached Australia's Lord Howe Island on a number of occasions. At the beginning of the 20th century, this bunting was seen as a serious agricultural pest in its adopted country.
Populations of yellowhammer have also been introduced to the Falkland Islands, and South Africa.
The yellowhammer is a bird of dry open country, preferably with a range of vegetation types and some trees from which to sing. It is absent from urban areas, forests and wetlands. Probably originally found at forest edges and large clearing, it has benefited from traditional agriculture, which created extensive open areas with hedges and clumps of trees.
Populations have declined in recent decades in western Europe, including the British Isles, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria and Italy. The yellowhammer is a red-list (severely declining) species in Ireland and the UK In eastern Europe, numbers appear to be stable, although the trend in Russia is unknown. Changes to agricultural practices are thought to be responsible for reduced breeding densities. The introduced population in New Zealand has been very successful, with breeding densities much higher than in the UK.

This beautiful stone bench was a welcome sight on the steep trail up to Anna Ruby Falls in northern Georgia. It looked SO inviting! However, I did not “sit a spell”, fearing that once I did, I might not be able to get back up.

MERCI de votre visite et commentaires
c`EST TRÈS APPRÉCIÉ !!!!
THANK YOU for your visit and comments,,, I appreciate a lot !!
He was walking along looking at the birds, I was waiting till he reached this spot, As it begins to seriously heat up here in the Sonora desert I try to start my morning bike rides about an hour before sunrise and always bring a camera. On this morning i also brought a thermos of tea and some cinnamon toast so Lakeside Park was a good place to stop.Early rides also means less people to avoid due to the pandemic.
That comes with age though... :p

I love old fashioned ornaments!
Update: We are making progress! We have found my mother in law a wonderful care home only minutes away from our house. She can move in anytime after Christmas!
Still a lot to do but the part that was worrying us the most is done!
Thank you each and everyone one of you for your kind words of support! You are all awesome!
Well maybe it's just this mishmash of images that makes no sense but I like it and it's made up of a few shots I took this morning. I started with a visit from my deer family, progressed through some dew covered spiders and webs in the sunlight and ended up with a 4 inch long Imperial Moth caterpillar. Interesting morning. I've been working on my vacation shots to the exclusion of a good slide so I thought I'd craft up something from this morning with the caterpillar and the other images composited together.
If you have forgotten or this is your first time viewing my photostream: Things That Make No Sense are just that, assorted bits of amusement for nothing more than visual curiosity and my idea of what I call art or abstract art. Now a series of sorts, the series is interrupted with photographs that do make sense, or at least make sense to me. You can like them or not but they make me smile.
Happy Slider Sunday - HSS!
This beauty has been hanging around for a few days. I believe it is a Barred Owl.
Thanks to Pexels for the textures.
A view, that you hardly can discribe, the journey across the Lofoten Islands in Norway. Behind every curve a new breathtakingly view on Fjords ore snowcovered mountainscapes is opening. Fascinating.
Ein Anblick, den man nur schwer in Worte fassen kann, die Fahrt über die Lofoten in Norwegen. Hinter jeder Kurve eröffnet sich ein neuer atemberaubender Anblick von Fjorden oder Schneebedeckten Berglandschaften. Faszinierend.
