around 50 years ago you would be seeing trains going past this spot,then the disastrous decision to destroy the infrastructure of the British railway system was put into Operation.

and then there's the bother of changing political parties :-)

This beautiful CANADIAN flew by me within a meter...the sound, the energy, the speed...the rush I felt was staggering...it was only for a few seconds...wow...and then it was gone..."STUNNING"...

Turning 50 this week. Can't believe that half a century has gone by!!! When you are in your twenties you never think you will reach this day!

My promise to myself for the next ....20, 30, 40? is to try to make the best of each day!!

Cumpliendo 50 esta semana. Dificil de creer que ya he vivido medio siglo. Cuando estas en tus veinte, nunca crees que este dia va a llegar!

Mi promesa a mi misma para los proximos ...20, 30, 40 ? es de intentar hacer que cada dia, sea un buen dia!!

THANK YOU/ESKERRIK ASKO/ GRACIAS Flicker friends for all your kind wishes, you have made my day a very special one :)

There are 2 major waterfalls on the Yellowstone River. This is the Upper falls . The water continues to flow a quarter mile downstream over the Lower Yellowstone Falls. It then enters the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. The total height of the Upper Falls is 308 feet !!

I do appreciate you all 💖

As I hiked along Mt. Rainier's Skyline trail heading for Panorama Point I kept hoping to see the crown of this majestic mountain. The clouds were shrouding the top most of the way but was pleased to catch this brief opening. Hello there....

Hope your weekend is off to a great start.

Le martin-pêcheur se nourrit principalement de poissons pris depuis un perchoir au-dessus de l'eau. L'oiseau reste posé pendant de longs moments, regardant attentivement l'eau à la recherche de proies, tournant et inclinant la tête et le corps. Quand la proie est détectée, il plonge à pic et capture le poisson sous l'eau, pouvant aller jusqu'à un mètre de profondeur. Ensuite, utilisant ses ailes, il se propulse vers la surface et s'élève, le bec tendu vers le ciel, et retourne sur son perchoir.

****************************************************************

The kingfisher feeds mainly on fish caught from a perch above the water. The bird remains resting for long periods of time, looking carefully at the water for prey, turning and tilting the head and body. When the prey is detected, it plunges sharply and captures the fish under water, up to one meter deep. Then, using its wings, it propels itself towards the surface and rises, the beak stretched towards the sky, and returns on its perch.

that bloom, shed and then simply go.

That's the wonders of life: One minute you're here and the Next minute you're gone!

This is where Mother Nature teaches us, how fragile we can become and yet still contain within ourselves, what we really are and should be.

Many thanks for your lovely appreciation of compliments from you here, my dear good flickr friends !!!

then technically you've only had one piece:-)

...then in sharing our feelings about everything there is in the world...where we have found togetherness amongst a countless people yearning for peace...

...and he's in the need for the taste of fresh blood....

*actually... the truth is that I created this this for Halloween..but got so busy in RL I didn't post it...so better late than never I guess?

But it was fun to do. Hope you like it.. and sorry for the blood and gore..but hope it looks more 'Scooby Doo' than anything too scary.

If anyone is interested in doing a photo collaboration with me...then what are you waiting for...message me...or say hello 'in world'.... I actually don't like blood and gore that much, so we can do a nice tame picture :)

♫ In spite of the way you were mocking me

Acting like I was part of your property

Remembering all the times you fought with me

I'm surprised it got so

Things aren't the way they were before

You wouldn't even recognize me anymore

Not that you knew me back then

But it all comes back to me in the end ♫

I told Shadow that some people in the world don't like cats and he was very displeased. "How is that even possible?" he guffawed! This could not be true! Then, I told him he had already had enough catnip for the day and he got really mad.

Hi all !!

This time, I wanted to put some color in my monochrome gothic fashion. I added the pink, then following the pretty flowers of the rozoregalia jewels. What do you think? History is loneliness. In his moments when everything seems to melt, even his own heart.

I hope you'll like it !!

Thanks for watching and your support!! ♡

I like the way you sound in the morning. We're on the phone and without a warning, I realize your laugh is the best sound

I have ever heard

I like the way I can't keep my focus. I watch you talk, you didn't notice. I hear the words but all I can think is

We should be together..

Every time you smile, I smile

And every time you shine, I'll shine for you

Whoa, oh, I'm feeling you baby

Don't be afraid to

Jump then fall

Jump then fall into me

Baby, I'm never gonna leave you

Say that you wanna be with me too.. 'Cause I'mma stay through it all..

So jump then fall

Well, I like the way your hair falls in your face. You got the keys to me, I love each freckle on your face, oh. I've never been so wrapped up, honey I like the way you're everything I ever wanted

I had time to think it all over

And all I can say is come closer

Take a deep breath then jump then fall into me. Cause every time you smile, I smile and every time you shine, I'll shine for you

Whoa, oh, I'm feeling you baby

Don't be afraid to jump then fall.

Jump then fall into me. Baby, I'm never gonna leave you, say that you wanna be with me too.. 'Cause I'mma stay through it all.

So jump then fall

The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet

I'll catch you, I'll catch you

When people say things that bring you to your knees

I'll catch you.

The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry

But I'll hold you through the night until you smile

Whoa, oh, I need you baby

Don't be afraid, please,

Jump then fall. Jump then fall into me. Baby, I'm never gonna leave you. Say that you wanna be with me too 'Cause I'mma stay through it all.

So jump then fall

Jump then fall, baby,

Jump then fall into me, into me

Every time you smile, I smile

And every time you shine, I'll shine and every time you're here

Baby I'll show you, I'll show you

You can Jump then fall, jump then fall. Jump then fall into me, into me, yeah

March 3 afternoon: The sky mostly cleared but the temperature continued to dip giving room for beautiful scenery concealing bitter cold wind. Still, such fluctuation in temperature is a new feature in our Canadian Winter. Have a wonderful Sunday!

Yeah, I've been gone on business

I've gotta make some money

I really feel the distance

And I quite miss home

And I miss you telling me

To leave my shoes at the door

'Cause you just swept the floor and the dirt drives you crazy

Yeah, I quite miss home

'Cause it feels like poetry

When the rain falls down on the window

While you're in my arms and we're watching the TV

Yeah, I quite miss home

Yeah, I quite miss home

I smell you cooking from the living room

And then I tell you that I love your food

I know it doesn't come easy

But you know it reminds me where I'm from

Taken Friday morning with my 'new' phone, then processed in Topaz Studio with a texture of my own. The weather went downhill shortly after this, it poured down for the rest of the the day. It doesn't seem like we'll get a proper summer this year, here in the UK. Marnie and I visit this place nearly every day if I'm short of time, as it's so close to home. She gets what she needs, familiarity and a space to roam. I get a nice view down the stream with flowers, beautiful trees and the sight and sound of trickling water.

You know I usually like to put music to my images, so here's something beautiful you may not have heard or seen before.

Lie, awake

and Watching you run through my head

I'm alone again

but not for long my friend

We face, another day

And distance has come, and taken you far away again

but I'll see you soon my friend

and then I'll sing you my song

I can't

Go home alone again

No I can't

My friend

Until then

Eyes I recognize

Taken me back, familiar to me from some other time

or maybe another life

remember our time

and know who I am

the memory it stays until we can breath as one again

and I'm coming back my friend

and then I'll sing you my song

Oh yeah

I can't

go home alone again

No I can't

go home all alone again

no I can't

my friend

Until then

'Until Then' ~Sully Erna~

Furillen

She was struggling big time in swallowing her dinner like that. Then she flew away and I don't know the end of the story...

The End!

... then the photo equipment is photographed.

After more then two months of recovering from my knee injury I finally went out again! I would have loved to visit the beach but this is still a bit too much. Kinderdijk on the other hand is easily accessible and I was so happy to shoot a nice sunset with a bit of glow. I also bumped into another photographer and we had a nice chat about everything that makes this hobby so worthwhile. Well, you don’t know what you miss until its gone and I’m looking forward to get out more often coming weeks!

Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!

Also follow me on VERO

~ It starts in my belly

Then up to my heart

Into my mouth I can't keep it shut

Do you recognize the smell

Is that how you tell

Us apart

I fool myself

To sleep and dream

Nobody's there

No-one but me ~
