As they say, travels broadens the mind, be it on a motorbike or in my case, a panda....and I picked up some fun items from the Horror Carnivale event to help me with this endeavor. This animated bear has the odd tongue in cheek animation and from a Gatcha too. Bring companions with you for that explorer vibe, of which I have Hilted's Howler dog, and keep yourself protected from the 'known unknowns' that the grid could throw at you with the gorgeous mask and staff from Drunken Brokkr. I'm wearing the new skin and ears from Petrichor which easily adapts to different looks that your imagination could throw at it. In my case, a Drow. The Panda nuzzles you when you ground sit, so mind your hair...

Rufescent Tiger Heron with those very annoying flies, both to us and the wildlife. We stopped at one lodge and they were even trying to bite a concrete caiman! I loved seeing these herons and photographed them whenever I got the chance. Taken in North Pantanal, Brazil. Best viewed large.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Discovering Heaven
~ Adapted from the BBC series, Rev
“It’s very difficult to know what to say in times like this. … Some people don’t believe in Heaven, but I do. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I do know a story which gives me an idea. It’s a story about a lot of little bugs that lived at the bottom of a river. And every now and then one of the bugs would crawl up a plant through the water and into the light. And it would never be seen again by his friends. One day, one special little bug felt that she wanted to crawl up the plant, too. So she did. Crawled up the plant through the water into the air. And she turned into an amazing, colourful dragonfly. And she flew around the air. She was the happiest she’d ever been! But when she tried to fly back down into the water to tell her bug friends how wonderful it was she found she couldn’t. Couldn’t get down into the water anymore because she wasn’t a bug anymore. She was a dragonfly. And this upset her until she remembered that one day all her friends would crawl up the plant, too, and join her in the sun.”
I love her green eyes.

I've been walking on the purest snows.
I've been breathing the lightest oxygen.
I've been crossing rough stone stretches
and honey-sweet mountain pastures.
I knew you. I loved you. But now
it's time to leave those altitudes. It's time
for you to go. It's time
for you to breathe.

Lightning storm outside. Soul-weather...)
The Falklands have 2 Steamer Duck, "the Falkland Steamer Duck" and the "Flying Steamer duck". This is the Female Steamer duck and the next image is the male Steamer Duck.... both are "Falkland Steamer" and they do not fly. They are very common ducks and I have seen large flock of them floating at a distance on the ocean, especially when we visited Sea Lion Island. It is very difficult to distinguish the one who can fly from the other one when they are on the water. Robin Woods tells us that "the best distinguishing features are the shape and colour of the bill. Both male and female have slightly longer, more slender and concave bills." We have seen and photograph both species of "Steamer" ducks but I find it hard to distinguish which is which even when examining the pictures closely.... I only know that we saw both type of "Steamer" because we saw them flying. Local names for the non-flying duck is "Logger" or "Loggerhead"

For those of you out there who are waking up this beautiful morn thinking...I wonder what an Osprey looks like when it is licking it's talons clean after consuming a fish???

Those magic minutes.
Just as the sun rises, the sulphur-crested cockies and their corella mates become "sulphur-coated" cockies, as the amber light tinges their feathers in a warm glow.

Of course I love everything about Tofu but I admit that when I first saw him I immediately fell in love with his big baby blue eyes. In the comments I add another photo of him showing his fluffy paws. :)

Today WAH visiting Those Were the Days
A retake of a photo back in 1990.
I worked as a manager for a telecom company for more years than I care to remember. This was me back in 1990 being a super hero and delivering a briefing to other managers in some rah rah way before attending a conference where I had to deliver it all over again. We certainly embraced the work hard play hard culture. They were enjoyable days.
Mary Hopkins released Those Were the Days back in 1968. Those Were the Days" is a song credited to Gene Raskin, who put a new English lyric to the Russian romance song "Дорогой длинною" (literally "By the long road"), composed by Boris Fomin (1900–1948) with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevsky. It deals with reminiscence upon youth and romantic idealism. It also deals with tavern activities, which include drinking, singing and dancing.
I must admit I really disliked this song and turned off the radio when it came on.
Yesterday was one of those autumn days that you hope for on a day off- crisp dry sunny and not too much wind for cycling. We set off from Cardiff, past Pontypridd, through Aberdare and Hirwaun to climb the Rhigos mountain. You may remember that there has been another cycling adventure up the Rhigos ( I was promised stunning views) which was a misty wet drizzly day. This is the view from the viewpoint near the top of the climb. There are more to follow, but this one made me smile, for the small lake is called llyn fawr, translated from Welsh mean big lake. Hubby and I had quite a chuckle at its name. We don’t have huge lakes or reservoirs in Wales, and I’m sorry to disappoint any local residents in the Rhigos area but this is not a big lake. Frustratingly I don’t know how to selectively turn on the geotag for this photo.
One of the hairpins which we climbed is also shown.
Before we left yesterday we were chatting to a fellow cyclist who said that he preferred the climb from the other side of the mountain as from this side there was a straight uphill section of the road which he found quite disheartening, but once one gets to the trees it’s not too bad. Knowing this made the climb easier and this time I got some stunning views for sure.
Oh and we decided that as we had come this far, we might as well throw in the Bwlch (another of the classic welsh climbs) too!
68 Miles later we were home, having had a wonderful day out.

This is Lake Josephine there in Glacier National Park. Along some of the shore section there you can find these amazing colored rocks there under the water. My wife and I were enjoying the pretty day and hike there along the lake. Had this whole area pretty much to ourselves for about 45 minutes, which was nice! Liked this view with the shadow of the tree leading out to the clouds there in the sky.
"To those who think as we do, all things themselves are dancing: they come and offer their hands and laugh and flee- and come back. Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of being. Everything dies, everything blossoms again; eternally runs the year of being. Everything breaks, everything is joined anew; eternally the same house of being is built. Everything parts, everything greets every other thing again; eternally the ring of being remains faithful to itself. In every Now, being begins; round every Here rolls the sphere There, The center is everywhere. Bent is the path of eternity." ...
"A long twilight limped before me, a sadness, weary to death, drunken with death speaking with a yawning mouth. 'Eternally recurs the man of whom you are weary, the small man' - thus yawned my sadness and dragged its feet and could not go to sleep. Man's earth turned into a cave for me, its chest sunken; all that is living became human mold and bones and musty paste to me. My sighing sat on all human tombs and could not longer get up; my sighing and questioning croaked and gagged and gnawed and wailed by day and night: 'Alas, man recurs eternally! The small man recurs eternally!'"

At the market place. The colors of the stalls and clothes were wonderfully vivid. And those colors are reflected in her shades!
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter. -Rachel Carson
Happy Sunday, everyone! Hope it is filled with good things! My whole weekend has been fab, and I was thrilled to bits that I got to hang out with my beautiful friend, Rhiana. We shopped for dresses and birdies, and then decided to go exploring.
Somehow, we determined that our shortest dresses and highest heels would equate to the absolute perfect outfits for a hike through Luane's scenic, pretty sim! Before long we faced the reality that we were really only dressed appropriately for posing, but still a win ... photo memory!
Rhiana, I had such a blast! You and I have been friends for so long, and I can't believe we have taken three forevers to get a Flickrszzz together!! Yay for this!! Love you lots, beauty queen, and thank you so much for this time together, and for these birdies. So utterly adorable! Just like YOU!
Hugs to everyone! And happy new week ahead! ❤️💕
