I don't know why you think... you,

soldier, that I can hate you... me,

if we are the same person

I,

you.

You are poor, so am I;

I am from below, you are;

where did you get... you,

soldier, I hate you... me?

It hurts me that sometimes... you

forget who I am .. me;

By God!!!, yes I... I'm you,

the same as you are... me.

But not for that... I

I have to hate you... you;

if we are the same thing,

I,

you,

I don't know why you think... you,

soldier, I hate you... me.

We will meet... me and you,

together on the same street

shoulder to shoulder, you and me,

without hating us, neither I nor you,

but we will know very well, you and I,

where are we going... me and you...

I don't know why you think... you,

soldier, I hate you... me!

Another version of this shipwreck near Corpach. It´s now called the Corpach Wreck, but before it were known as the MV Dayspring. I wrote a part of it´s story in my earlier posts.

I think I've finally found out which Grevillea this one is. If anyone knows if it's correct, please do say so.

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

In the swirling, curling storm of desire unuttered words hold fast

With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes towers built to last

Darkness creeps in like a thief and offers no relief

Why are you shaking like a leaf

Come on, come talk to me

Peter Gabriel Come Talk To Me Lyrics

I don't talk to flowers, they talk to me and I gladly listen!

You can see for yourself that this Rococo Parrot tulip was thinking, waiting patiently for me to get the lights right!!!

For years I 'experimented' in the studio, to get that Flemish painter's light?

Well, I was born in Flanders, it must be in my blood? LOL.

With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

Think I bought this in Nederland Co. Ammonites are perhaps the most widely known fossil, possessing the typically ribbed spiral-form shell as pictured above. These creatures lived in the seas between 240 - 65 million years ago, when they became extinct along with the dinosaurs.

I don't think I've ever seen a boat of this size with so few containers onboard.

The next destination is listed as Hamburg, although the press state it is headed to dry dock in France for damage surveys after the mishap in Egypt.

on the end of a day

"Ask courageous questions.

Do not be satisfied with superficial answers.

Be open to wonder and at the same time subject all claims to knowledge, without exception, to intense skeptical scrutiny.

Be aware of human fallibility.

Cherish your species and your planet."

Carl Sagan

I think this is an immature black-chinned hummingbird taking in some of the goodness from an ocotillo flower. Ocotillos are interesting plants. For a lot of the year they look like dead bundles of spiny sticks. This ocotillo was probably 10-15 feet (3-4m) tall, but they can grow up to 30 feet (10m) tall according to Wikipedia. After a rain the ocotillo leaf out with lush green foliage for a short while before they return to their leafless dead-looking state. In the springtime, they sport these lovely red flowers that attract the likes of this hummingbird. Note all the pollen on the bird's face.

I think these cactus blooms are beautiful as they emerge from the pads of some sort of prickly pear cactus. Boyce Thompson Arboretum in the new Wallace Garden area

But when you get behind the camera you can be involved without being on centre stage. I learned quickly that I could participate in the things I loved while taking pictures. Photography was my way of fitting in :-)

Some people think Wood Storks are ugly. They resent how they move into the rookery and usurp the tree islands, crowding out the Great Blues and Anhinga who had settled in prior to this pushy intrusion. And that noisy sex that goes on all the time, that clashing of bills drawing attention to what, I should think we would all agree, be done in private, or at least in the darkness of night. Well, I for one am deeply offended. Yet, when I look at this bird, I can’t help but seeing its inner beauty. Yes, I’m a closet Wood Stork lover. There should be help for folk like me, but to hell I say, I’m coming out of the closet and will embrace my affliction without shame! (And, let me just add, this is no laughing matter.)

Improved my editing process, and I think I can get cleaner IR results from that little 1/2.3-inch sensor. Still some other maintenance to do on the camera, but this came out well enough that I'm going to share it.

This is a Panasonic Lumix ZS6 with the hot mirror removed and a 720nm filter. I then swapped red and blue channels in post to get yellow trees and blue sky instead of the reverse, and did some additional color adjustments.

I really like IR skies. IR reveals quite a bit of detail and drama.

These images are also my fall fix before the leaves have even started to change.

The great egret, also known as the common egret, large egret, or great white egret or great white heron is a large, widely distributed egret, with four subspecies found in Asia, Africa, the Americas, and southern Europe. Wikipedia

Well, I think it’s time to begin with posting several images I made during my stay in Asturias (Spain) some weeks ago. I made this shot here at a very iconic beach called „Gueirua“ one rainy afternoon. A single long exposure shot which I found very difficult to make as I was cleaning the lenses all the time due to the rain! And more it was not so comfortable to stay balanced over the rocks and stones during a heavy wind and rain, cleaning all the time the lenses and at the same time trying not to fall into the sea with all my equipment :-) But it was so rewarding to be there and I could’t care less about the weather … I was so happy to finally, finally, finally to see the sea again after so much time as I have no sea in my country :-)

I think I never get tired of those beautiful bog mornings. It ´s always so tranquilizing, refreshes my mind. I just wish I had more opportunities to be there. I hope someday I can offer photo tours for photographers who don't have that kind of nature available to them.

Since it's January, how about a picture that might make us 'think summer' at least a little bit? Butterfly at Wake County's Historic Yates Mill Pond Park in North Carolina.

Attention Ladies & Gents (yes boyz you too)....

Breast cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast. It is considered a heterogeneous disease—differing by individual, age group, and even the kinds of cells within the tumors themselves. Obviously no woman wants to receive this diagnosis, but hearing the words “breast cancer” doesn’t always mean an end. It can be the beginning of learning how to fight, getting the facts, and finding hope.

Women in the United States get breast cancer more than any other type of cancer except for skin cancer. It is second only to lung cancer as a cause of cancer death in women.

Each year it is estimated that nearly 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die. Approximately 1,700 men will also be diagnosed with breast cancer and 450 will die each year. The evaluation of men with breast masses is similar to that in women, including mammography.

If you'd like more infromation here are 2 great resources..I worked for the American Cancer Society and I provided services to women and men with breast cancer.♥
