Actually one of the most difficult photographs I have ever taken. THE BOOKS KEPT FALLING.

I think this is stunning architecture! The station was designed by the architect John McAslan + Partners, and the renovation of the station, which to their credit, was completed in 2005, was done on schedule.

To read more about the remarkable redesign of the station, see the Arch Daily article posted online at www.archdaily.com/219082/kings-cross-station-john-mcaslan....

#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..."

I think this is an Oak Egger moth seen at Forvie NNR in Aberdeenshire.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lasiocampa quercus, the Oak Eggar, is a common moth of the family Lasiocampidae found in Europe, including Britain and Ireland. It feeds on a variety of plant species (mainly heather and bilberry), and may develop over two years in higher latitudes, where it may be known as the Northern eggar. Its suffix quercus refers to the fact that its cocoon generally resembles an acorn, not that its primary food source is oak.

Bei einer Runde Scrabble konnten die kleinen Bewohner in Little World ihren Ideen freien Lauf lassen!

During they where playing scrabble, they could express their Mind - THINK BIG!

Think the Hares let him chase them for fun.

Some think that these birds have grown accustomed to seeing my canoe on the bayou, but I’ve spent far too little time on the bayou and they are just like every other animal that you encounter. Some are willing to stick around and keep a wary eye on the photographer while other bolt or fly away long before I ever reach for my camera. This particular Green Heron was doing a bit of preening and my extremely slow and methodical approach allowed me to get well inside of its comfort zone without departing. I wish I had an explanation, but it’s just the way it happens with each encounter and each one is different. This bayou leprechaun even turned its back on me and continued to make sure that all of those feathers were in proper working order. And no, there’s not a lot of green showing in the plumage. Photo taken on Horsepen Bayou.

A perfect Autumn's day comes to an end at Ullapool Harbour, Scotland. This is a 6 shot hand held pano with frames taken in portrait orientation then cropped at a 2:1 ratio. I normally prefer to have the horizon dead centre on my pano's but the cloud formations were so impressive I just had to include more sky - hopefully the composition works.

Have a great weekend all!

These are the streets that speak to me every morning. On foot & in the mist, our conversations ramble. We have no real friends but we know everyone.

Don't think the book title sums up the book, even thought the Chinese girl in the story comes to England for a year to learn English and falls in love with an older man. She writes down all the new words she learns in a note book and you get one of these at the beginning of each short chapter.

The National Wallace Monument on Abbey Craig above the Carse of Stirling in Scotland was erected in memory of Scotland's greatest hero, Sir William Wallace, who, in 1297 at the Battle of Stirling Bridge defeated the English army and "sent them homewards to think again".

Make the right decision GB!

Think these sawbill ducks are very attractive,esp, as in this case the females.This one was taken on the R.Bollin,close to Stockport in Cheshire.They can be difficult to tell apart from female Red Breasted Mergansers but the bill with the downturned tip is a give away along with the pattern on the rear of the back.They are also very shy and hard to approach

Caught this cool pic awhile back and then found this perfect song to go with it...

P.O.D. Alive video

Everyday is a new day

I'm thankful for every breath I take

I won't take it for granted ( I won't take it for granted)

So I learn from my mistakes

It's beyond my control sometimes it's best to let go,

whatever happens in this lifetime

So I trust in love ( So I trust in love )

You have given me peace of mind

I, I feel so alive

For the very first time

I can't deny you

I feel so alive

I, I feel so alive ( so alive)

For the very first time (For the very first time)

And I think I can fly

Sunshine upon my face (Sunshine upon my face)

A new song for me to sing

Tell the world how I feel inside

Even though it might cost me everything

Now that I know this is beyond my control

'cause I could never turn my back away

Now that I see you (Now that I see you)

I can never look away

I, I feel so alive

For the very first time

I can't deny you

I feel so alive

I, I feel so alive ( so alive)

For the very first time (For the very first time)

And I think I can fly

Now that I know you

I could never turn my back away

And now that I see you

I could never look away

And now that I know you

I could never turn my back away

And now that I see you

I believe no matter what they say

I, I feel so alive

For the very first time

I can't deny you

I feel so alive

I, I feel so alive(so alive)

For the very first time(For the very first time)

And I think I can fly

I, I feel so alive (so alive)

For the very first time(For the very first time)

And I think I can fly

I, I feel so alive ( so alive)

For the very first time(For the very first time)

And I think I can fly

And I think I can fly

And I think I can fly

........OVERVIEW........

Democracy in Venezuela is about to die, It has slowly been eroded for 9 years by a government that was elected by popular vote. But has systematically concentrated power on the president and discriminated opposers.

In Venezuela you can no longer think differently from the official view.

Those of us who oppose the regime are criminalized, many journalists have had to go on exile, there are political prisoners that have been for years in trails or processes that don’t go anywhere, some opposition political figures are in liberty but under constant harassment by the executive and judicial. Anyone who opposes can expect insults and defamation by the highest government officials and violence from its followers.

But the Venezuelan democracy will die on December 2, if a proposed constitutional reform is approved.

President Hugo Chavez, has design a constitutional reform that will modify 69 articles of the current constitution. A reform that is unconstitutional itself, because it changes the basic principles of the constitution and the definition of the Venezuelan State, which is in direct violation of itself, according to it modification of basic principles can’t be modified with a reform (Art 342), a Constitutional Assembly has to be convoked instead, to make a new constitution via vote.

The illegitimacy of the reform, if approved, is far from the only concern. The state will be defined as Socialist, and the exercise of the means of democratic participation like vote and participation on public office will have to be for the construction of socialism, making illegitimate any action by people of different political views, destroying political pluralism. In violation of the Human Rights (proposed art. 16, 70) (Violation of the art. 21 and 32 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights), and Chavez could reelect himself indefinitely.

When it is quiet

and you are alone

do you find peace?

Breathing in the

cool fresh air

clearing out the

residue of chaos

having the solitude

to search within

and find the answers

to questions in your heart

take the time

to be alone

to listen

to breathe

and to know.

peace can be found

when you need it.
