After seeing a video by Thomas Heaton, we thought: We have to find it and photograph it.
We fly a while with Google, and then YES we found the region
The photo took a lot of sweat, because it certainly wasn't a childish hike. But definitely worth photographing this 300-year-old Pine tree.

A Trumpeter Swan lands at Lake Artemesia in College Park, Maryland. This Swan is not indigenous to this area so I'm guessing it used to be kept as a pet?
I'd heard that we had one at Lake Artemesia and sure enough it was there. I photographed it for a bit but then it took off and looked like it was leaving. I focused on my camera for a bit and then surprise, the swan came back and I just had time to capture it landing.

Happy New Year to all my Flickr friends!!
Himeji Castle is a hilltop Japanese castle complex located in Himeji, in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan.
The castle is regarded as the finest surviving example of prototypical Japanese castle architecture, comprising a network of 83 buildings with advanced defensive systems from the feudal period. The castle is frequently known as Hakuro-jō ("White Egret Castle") or Shirasagi-jō ("White Heron Castle") because of its brilliant white exterior and supposed resemblance to a bird taking flight.
Himeji Castle dates to 1333, when Akamatsu Norimura built a fort on top of Himeyama hill. The fort was dismantled and rebuilt as Himeyama Castle in 1346, and then remodeled into Himeji Castle two centuries later. Himeji Castle was then significantly remodeled in 1581 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who added a three-story castle keep. In 1600, Tokugawa Ieyasu awarded the castle to Ikeda Terumasa for his help in the Battle of Sekigahara, and Ikeda completely rebuilt the castle from 1601 to 1609, expanding it into a large castle complex.
Several buildings were later added to the castle complex by Honda Tadamasa from 1617 to 1618. For over 400 years, Himeji Castle has remained intact, even throughout the extensive bombing of Himeji in World War II, and natural disasters such as the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake.
Himeji Castle is the largest and most visited castle in Japan, and it was registered in 1993 as one of the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country. The area within the middle moat of the castle complex is a designated Special Historic Site and five structures of the castle are also designated National Treasures. Along with Matsumoto Castle and Kumamoto Castle, Himeji Castle is considered one of Japan's three premier castles. In order to preserve the castle buildings, it underwent restoration work for several years and reopened to the public on March 27, 2015. The works also removed decades of dirt and grime, restoring the formerly gray roof to its original brilliant white color.
One of the many Currawongs that frequently visit here. This time of year they are extremely playful and move around in groups. They often congregate on the kid's trampoline and frolic. Very intelligent birds - they spend time to study us - stopping and staring at us trying to figure us out.

The then silent night had given way to the screams of pain, terror and the sinister and spiteful laughs of the vampire.
Their swords created through their own blood, with extreme speed fall on their victims dismembering them and decapitating. They didn't even have a chance to fight him with dignity, as they could only feel a sudden strong wind, see a brief figure and then, their bodies were sliced up with such force that their armor felt like paper.
In the sky, the moon shone like a huge, glittering silver scythe, a somewhat apt shape for this night, when he was a reaper and didn't make a point of leaving any poor devil alive. Everyone would pay for standing against him. With grace and extreme savagery their swords continued to fall on those who could no longer flee, who due to such fear, were paralyzed. It was a slaughter. He didn't care, he wouldn't be forgiving or pious tonight, he would be brutal and he insisted on demonstrating all his power, so that no mortal, vampire, or werewolf would ever make a point of rising up against him again. He would allow only the women and children to survive this night, to tell everyone about the horror that had befallen their city. When the animals controlled by a demon invaded the city gates, as if lashed by its invisible whip, and when finally the devil himself descended on them, always almost invisible, like a wind of death, at first tearing with its beastly claws the terrified people of the city, then impaling them, with spears created through their own blood, setting the city ablaze with flames that seemed to arise from hell itself or from your heart aflame with hate. When then the two swords set to fall on them, cutting flesh, amputating limbs and beheading heads.
The city of Khaldheim would be an example to everyone. The fire flickered in the burning houses, like huge insatiable demons wanting to feed on more and more, turning the once majestic houses to ashes. Like the flames, his swords were not content with the pile of dismembered bodies left in his path, like a scarlet wind, he continued to claim lives and as he did, he laughed with delight, for few things gave him more pleasure than wanton killing. His laughter echoed through the air, chilling the blood of those who were still alive even more, announcing that it wouldn't be for long.
I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.

I found some light mesh in the garden for this week's theme, the challenge then was how to light it. The t light candle came to mind and I used a reflector to send a little light onto the mesh.
This was my fourth visit to a place nobody ever really goes. Some folks pass through, and a few of the farmers pass by now and then, but a tourist, which is what I suppose I am, almost never.
But there I stood once again looking over a field of wheat planted next to an untouched plain of sagebrush. I've shot this before, a number of times. This time the sky was cloudless, the sun hot to my back and setting.
I like to think that each time I shoot something different, even in the same scene. I'm not sure if it's true, but I like to think that.

07-July-2022, h06.38PM, towards Koper town (that's under the rain).
This is the only (scarcely) significant precipitation (5-15mm or l/m2) of this summer (from 1 June), so far, has been short but managed to change the air for (...) 3 days, then hot and muggy returned for most of July.
Two more shots of my girls and then I promise it's back to the wildlife.
Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on and fave my photos. It is truly appreciated.

------------------------------ JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS ALONE!
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus died that death for YOU and I. The good news is there no more punishment for sin left, we were and are all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

I walked down by the local creek the other afternoon. The recent rains have increased flow rates and the water in Cherry Creek is tea like from all the fallen leaves. Downstream about 75 feet I notice a disturbance in the water but don't see anything. Then I see something moving upstream on the surface of the water like a big fish. It gets a little closer then I realize it must be an otter swimming vigorously in my direction! It wasn't an otter but an American Mink (Mustela vision). It's in the weasel family and is almost as aquatic as an otter and a nocturnal hunter. They eat voles, frogs, crayfish, waterfowl and their eggs, mice, rabbits, snakes, and aquatic invertebrates.
It got to within about 6 feet of where I stood backlit with camera on the monopod, it looked up at me then swam a little circle around a rock then scurried out of the water on the opposite bank and darted under a fallen log! Wow, glad I had the long lens! Pinch me and I do believe in luck. Mendocino County, North California U.S.A.
I visited here in October and the bridge was shut then, apparently its gone altogether now. I hope they replace it with a bridge that is beautiful as well as functional.
Thank you very much for all the nice comments and faves I appreciate that very much
photo was made inside for the window
hopefully soon outside because then the bokeh is much nicer
I wish everyone a very nice new sunny week !
and a million dirty ways
now I see you lying there
like a lie low losing air, air
black rocks and shoreline sand
still that summer I cannot bare
and I wipe the sand of my arms
the spanish sahara, the place that you'd wanna
leave the horror here
forget the horror here
leave it all down here
it's future rust and then it's future dust
i'm the fury in your head
i'm the fury in your bed
i'm the ghost in the back of your head
'cause I am.

A herd of bighorn sheep near Garden of the Gods was relocated Tuesday by Colorado Parks and Wildlife staff — a project two years in the making.
Parks and Wildlife staff dropped a 70-by-70-foot net over nearly two dozen bighorn sheep they had lured with apple pulp. In the 90 minutes that followed, the team blindfolded and restricted the legs of the sheep as they untangled them. The team then sedated them and assessed their health while searching for disease. Each sheep received an ear tag, and some were given transmitting collars before they were loaded into a trailer for shipment to Beaver Creek State Wildlife Area near Penrose, officials said in a news release.
A Royal Gorge Route Railroad (then, Canon City and Royal Gorge) passenger train pauses near Hanging Bridge west of Gorge siding in the depths of Royal Gorge, west of Canon City, Colorado, on May 14, 1999. One of the world's highest suspension bridges, Royal Gorge Bridge, which spans the Arkansas River at a height of nearly 1000 feet, soars over the train. This locomotive is former Chicago and North Western Executive F7 No. 402, and lives on today pulling popular excursions through the Royal Gorge. (Update—No. 402 now as a “retirement job” of being on display at Canon City…)

"And then we cowards
who loved the whispering
evening, the houses,
the paths by the river,
the dirty red lights
of those places, the sweet
soundless sorrow—
we reached our hands out
toward the living chain
in silence, but our heart
startled us with blood,
and no more sweetness then,
no more losing ourselves
on the path by the river—
no longer slaves, we knew
we were alone and alive."

A beautiful bird of the forests, this is quite a loud bird that is easily heard and maybe seen, but very hard to photograph since they hide in the canopy. The bird is endemic to South and Central India and always found on the slopes of forest hills. It does fly up and down the slopes in search of food though. It is a photographers favorite and a very hard one to get as such - especially in our region.
These are social birds always seen in flocks - usually of 4-6 or more. They keep flying from tree to tree in search of insects on the tree trunks. The birds were out in the open on the edge of a forest and flying from tree to tree. There was a tree stump that the birds stopped briefly and then took off - managed a few flight shots much to my delight!
Many thanks in advance for your feedback, faves and likes - very much appreciated.
You know how it is.... one moment you are standing in the bright sunlight and suddenly you turn around to see the sky filled with storm clouds and an approaching band of rain! Luckily I could dive back into the car! The shower was over in a very short time leaving that fresh newly washed fragrance that [https://www.flickr.com/photos/jkortla1] comments on.
