I'm falling for you ღ

You think you can destroy the planet? What intoxicating vanity. The Earth is ancient—four and a half billion years old. Life has persisted here for nearly as long, through cataclysms you can scarcely imagine: continents drifting, mountains rising and falling, comets slamming into oceans, entire species rising and vanishing in the blink of a geological eye. And yet, life endures. You fret over radiation, thinning ozone, or rising temperatures, but even if we poisoned every corner of this world, life would survive—deep underground, frozen in ice, waiting for its time to flourish again.

We see ourselves as gods, wielding the power to shape or destroy, yet we’ve been here for the briefest moment, blind to the Earth’s slow, relentless rhythms. A hundred years? A million? It means nothing to the planet. You say the Earth is in jeopardy? No—it is humanity that’s in jeopardy. The Earth does not need us, and it will not miss us if we’re gone. Our challenge is not to save the Earth—it is to save ourselves.

(Paraphrased from Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton)

LARGE is nice

Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.

James Joyce

When people think of New York, they usually think of New York City and its crime, crowds, homeless, etc.. The State of New York is so much more than that. Upstate New York in particular has wonderful State Parks, hiking trails, many beautiful waterfalls and spectacular displays of fall colors when the trees change.

I'm a 'blue sky thinker' and dream big.

Fortschritt ist unaufhaltsam

Think it may be a Stearman. Made several passes over my house through out the day. I like the old wind in your face and bugs in your mouth type planes!

I was using one of those car windshieled sun blockers to reflect a little more light onto the area of my hummingbird feeder when I caught this photo. The funny thing is that, on the relfector screen is a drawing of a Bald Eagle in almost this exact pose going in for a fish. I guess this little guy is thinking of bigger things.

"You know life

Sometimes you just gotta stop caring about like

What everybody else thinks and just live your life, you know

Look

If you ain't failed couple times

You ain't ready for this

I don't crumble under pressure

I go heavy with this

Driving straight to the hole, I don't need no assist

If all I got is one shot, You know I ain't gone miss

I never take a hater serious, I'm petty with this

Never been the type to fold, I don't straddle the fence

Yeah, I might lose it all, I'll get it right back quick

I'm like a walking casino, 'cause I'ma takе that risk

I ain't scared of nothing but the old version of mе

I'm fired up, boy I love the cold version of me

I love the way I took the pain and now it's working for me

I'm coming back for everything that was taken from me

Ay what you thought it was, I'm like the little engine that could

They love my drive, they just wanna know what's under the hood

I wish you would tryna stop me, you gone get what you deserve

I'll show you how to take it from the bottom to the first

I know they tryna say you can't do it anyway

(talk your piece)

Ain't got no money in the bank, do it anyway

(I'ma do it)

I know you failed a couple times, but that's alright

We don't care what people think, do it anyway

I know they tryna say you can't do it anyway

(talk your piece)

Ain't got no money in the bank, do it anyway

(I'ma do it)

I know you failed a couple times, but that's alright

We don't care what people think, do it anyway

I remember when they said I couldn't, so now they ask me how I do it

When you really know you got it, you ain't never gotta prove it

When you started from the bottom, you ain't never scared of losing

Everything, all on God, is the only way I do it

Scared of what?

Scared of who?

Boy, I been had the juice, with an extra side of sauce

Boy I been had rague

Baby I got so much flavor and the pain is the seasoning

I promise I'ma get it, it don't matter what the season

I do it any day, everyday

I'ma get it in every way

Know they try to say that I can't, but I still doing it anyway

I don't care what they gonna say

I don't care what they gonna think

When you out here chasing your dreams, you don't care if people sleep

I wake them up when I speak, it's just a matter of time

Getting everything for me, it's just a matter of mine

I got audacity and confidence, a deadly combination

Yeah, I hear them talking, I just call it admiration

I know they tryna say you can't do it anyway

(talk your piece)

Ain't got no money in the bank, do it anyway

(I'ma do it)

I know you failed a couple times, but that's alright

We don't care what people think, do it anyway

I know they tryna say you can't do it anyway

(talk your piece)

Ain't got no money in the bank, do it anyway

(I'ma do it)

I know you failed a couple times, but that's alright

We don't care what people think, do it anyway

Eeh, eeh do it anyway

Eeh, eeh do it anyway

Eeh, eeh do it anyway

Eeh, eeh do it anyway

Know they tryna say you can't do it anyway

You ain't got no money in the bank, do it anyway

I know you failed a couple times, but that's alright

We don't care what they said, do it anyway"

From derena_d: "....He looks like he is having a secret chuckle over a private joke!"

I think I've found my new favorite animal to photograph.... every night this week I have been taking walks down to the pond with my camera and waited for the deer to come walking out of the woods to eat. This photo was taken last night. Saw a total of six deer, three of whom were bucks. This is the smallest of the three bucks. I know the photo is a little plain but I figured I upload it anyway. (Went down to the pond today too and saw a total of five deer but they were too low in the ferns to photograph)

The Chapter Four " Chapter:17 " @ Dreamlove new location

One of the observation points in Tallinn bares these words.

Makes you think - all of the photographers out there.

"In our joy, we think we hear a whisper.

At first it is too soft. Then only half heard.

We listen carefully as it gathers strength.

We hear a sweetness.

The word is Peace."

- Maya Angelou

2011-05-05 0875-1 I think this is my last photo from Thursdays trip to Holland

I think I can stop saying "I'm not a morning person" as I seem to be on a bit of an early morning tear as of late. The bonus is that where these falls are just an hour from the time change so the sunrise was late at 8:20 so it wasn't a big stretch to make the sunrise :))

I think it was Napoleon who described the English as a nation of shopkeepers, and when I was a young lad in London, it seemed that every street corner had a small shop. I was actually doing my Economics A level in 1964 when Retail Price Maintenance was abolished. Until that happened, you couldn't sell goods for less than the minimum price set by the manufacturer. We forecast then that it would mean the end of small shops, as supermarkets could undercut them.

There are still a few village shops left, mainly where there is no nearby supermarket. The village shop at Hornby in the north of Lancashire (pictured) is excellent and seems to sell everything. But the local villages near where we live have all lost their village shops. The last budget can only hasten the end of those still remaining.

Dont think just about your chance of getting infected.

Imagine that you do have the virus. ...and then change behaviour so that you are less likely to transmit it to others.

This virus needs us to to complacently interact to help it transmit. It needs us to ignore public health messaging. It needs us to not care about others that are more vulnerable than us.

Think social distancing, including children, & protecting older/vulnerable. We are going to be at this for a long time and we need to get good at it.

What happens in London over next few days will be mirrored in rest of UK in the following 14 days. We all have a role to play. ..both what we do and what we say to others.

I think getting one of the small birds in flight, in focus is all in the timing... and just plain luck of shutter control. In other words, it's flippin' hard! This is only the second time I've done it and I tried often in the last several winters.

I think it's a Rock Wren, but I can't be sure. I remember where I took the photo - rock wren territory - in the oak grass at about 700 feet. The reason this has been in storage so long is that as I photographed the tree stump, this little brown bird came in to see what I was up to, and then took off again. Good enough to keep, but not good enough to post. Still, all I am almost positive about is that it's a female, and the trunk is a century old and very dead oak tree.

This was the week before we left for Yellowstone and the Tetons, and I was practicing with my new SX50. It and I performed beautifully in both parks. Instead of a LBB, the first day in Yellowstone, I got six lifers! Too easy, really. Five Mountain Bluebirds in the first hour, and even an Osprey which perched with the sun in MY eyes. And then cross-bills, woodpeckers, grouse... And few people. The park "opened" the day after we left :-)

hahaha...in my head sluts laugh too much when their drunk.

I think I photograph tulips more than any other flowers, when they're in season, just love them ❤️

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Many thanks dear friends for your visits, comments and faves. I appreciate them all 🌷😊

This Robin,was thinking real hard about Spring coming soon.

#2 in the series of confessions. Soon, I might actually confess something no one knows. I'll think about it. haha

"When I first saw you

I knew that I'd never forget

This moment in time

Justa smile and you took away my heart

I never knew that my life would change

I never knew that I'd feel this way

Baby, believed me I'm right

Won't try to fight

This feelings inside I can't hide

I think I love You

This I am sure

Coz I miss you

Each time that you go

The things in my heart

The things that i say

are things that are true all the way

I've fallen for you

I'll never let go

Coz I need you

You're the light in my sorrow

THe things in my heart

The things that i say

are things that are true all the way

I love you

The days passed, I woke up

my heart, shot by an arrow

I go on my way

The sun shining everyday

Like, there's no tomorrow

I promise with you I will stay

If you tell me you'd be with me too

say yah do

we're meant for each other

I always believe that we do

the way my world brightens

whenever you're with me I know..."

Think the id is correct. Happy to be wrong. I was wrong - cheers Chris.

While we are having a record setting cold weekend in much of the country stay warm,stay safe and think Spring.
