This bird was standing on one foot, as herons tend to do. I like the view of the resting foot. This bird has some serious claws. Brazos Bend StatePark in SE Texas. 8/2018
... Sometimes this old barn
Feels like a long lost friend
Yes and hey its good
To be back home again.

Watching this magnificent owl hunting from atop a power pole I had the camera in a portrait orientation to try and catch it as it flew to the ground. Instead it flew across the road and right over my vehicle. A horizontal crop from vertical.

Lyrics
I am not a stranger to the dark
Hide away, they say
'Cause we don't want your broken parts
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Run away, they say
No one'll love you as you are
But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades and
Reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that's what we've become (yeah, that's what we've become)
I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
This is me
and I know that I deserve your love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) 'cause there's nothing I'm not worthy of
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
This is brave, this is proof
This is who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come (look out 'cause here I come)
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching, marching on)
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I'm gonna send a flood
Gonna drown them out
Oh
This is me

There are several Sufi orders in Senegal.
The Xaadir (Qādiriyya) is the oldest and founded in Baghdad by the Sufi mystic Abdul Qādir al-Jilānī in the 12th century, now pan-Islamic, spread to Senegal in the 18th Century.
His portrait is at the far left, with his name in Arabic :
عبدالقادر الجيلاني
The members of this family probably belong to this Muslim brotherhood.
The most important brotherhoods in Senegal are:
- The Xaadir (Qādiriyya), the oldest, founded in Baghdad by the Sufi mystic Abdul Qādir al-Jilānī in the 12th century, spread to Senegal in the 18th Century.
- The Tijaniyyah, the largest in membership, founded in Fez, Morocco by the Algerian born Cheikh Sīdī 'Aḥmad at-Tijānī.
- The Mourides, the richest and most active, founded by the Islamic leader Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba (1850–1927) of French West Africa, now Senegal.
- The Layene are a smaller Sufi order, centered at Yoff, north of Dakar.
I will try to found out about the other portraits, but I had understood that they were Gilani's son and grandson. ( no, I don't think so)
If you know, let me know!
searching, but: Cheikh Hadramé est né en 1910, sept ans avant la disparition de Cheikhna Cheikh Saadbou. Son père est Cheikh Sidibouya le premier fils de Cheikhna Cheikh Saadbouh.

We are in the old mining town of Derby today, and this abandoned old house is a metaphor for what has happened to the place. But Derby lives on in another form and is thriving in its own way. We'll see that over the next few days. But the old Derby is gone, as has the family that once occupied this house.
One can only speculate on the life that once turned this house into a home. But there is a song that captures something of the spirit in this photograph. It was sung by Dinah Washington (1924-1963) in the 1950s and has been newly arranged with her vocals by Max Richter on his incredible album, "On the Nature of Daylight".
"This bitter earth
Well, what fruit it bears
What good is love
mmmm that no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
oooh that hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows
Lord, this bitter earth
Yes, can be so cold
Today you're young
Too soon, you're old
But while a voice within me cries
I'm sure someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth
Ooooo may not
Oh be so bitter after all"

Something a little different this time.
The almost hundred years old Haveli belonging to my husband Sanjay's family in a village near Mathura in the state of Uttar Pradesh.When I got married some twenty years back this ancestral Haveli was full of life and laughter as many families belonging to Sanjay's extended family lived here.I remember spending many happy hours here on our yearly visits to the village with Sanjay and his parents.Unfortunately with the passage of time most of these families have built their own little quarters elsewhere in the village or moved to the cities.Only one family lives in the room to the right.The graceful old Haveli is now almost a desolate ruin.I took this shot on a recent visit.We were passing the huge gates which were half open and I entered on an impulse and clicked this photo. It was almost dark when I clicked it.
This is another shot from Grasmere Lake on a very still September evening. I wanted to capture the concentric circles around the Swan. I used HDR again from a single RAW image.

A signpost on my way to Hollingworth Lake Littleborough; The path returns briefly to Piethorne Reservoir and then out of the valley!
Eigentlich wollte ich dieses Bild als Schlusspunkt unter die Serie setzen, aber da nun schon ein paar Aufnahmen von "the Eye" hier gezeigt worden sind, soll euch diese nicht vorenthalten bleiben.

Don't wake me, I'm still dreaming, I don't feel you, I can't feel you.. I'm alone for real in my mind, I don't wanna see the light of day, why do you hurt me? This reality.....
Lily was missing, presumed dead for 6 months. A vet from roughly 40 miles away called one day to tell my son that she had been found - so he went to fetch her. She was fit, and well, well fed with a lovely sleek coat. So many question marks? We wondered if Thea had been a little too rough with her, and she decided to leave, or if she was too curious and found herself inside a travelling van.....
The flowering quince made it through sleet & snow flurries, high winds and below freezing temps. One of the joys of Winter. And - our Yellow-throated warbler is still here - this is Day 26!
