Magical,moody clouds over the hills of Harris yesterday which looked like a dragon lying down l thought?
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.
So,
You want to see who’s inside?
You want to know what lies beyond these cold eyes?
Then you’ll just have to claw your way through this disguise.

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. :)
Posted for the Happy Caturday theme "Best Asset".
For those of you suffering under the heat wave...
It's a little bit less warm here today, fortunately, and I try to cool down my place as much as possible before the heat will strike again tomorrow.
The photo is of the Great Aletsch Glacier in Switzerland, the largest glacier in the Alps. Like most glaciers on the planet it is a retreating glacier, its ice thinning out faster every year.
This is Jack and he was at the Walk for Hospice in Brantford, On. on Sunday. Jack's owner happens to be a Brantford Fire Fighter, and was taking part in the hike. I stopped by to chat with Jack's owner and the rest of the crew and couldn't resist taking a photo of Jack's kind eyes.
"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!'"

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.

For those of you following this beloved cat of mine, she's still with us. Not doing too well. Everytime I think that I must take her to the Vet and have her put to sleep, she springs back for a bit as she did this morning when we all got up. She ate some (not enough) and drank lots of water (which is good). Now she's back in her bed and probably will sleep for hours and hours. Trusting in the Lord ...
At the market place. The colors of the stalls and clothes were wonderfully vivid. And those colors are reflected in her shades!
Every week at school we get a board assignment. Basically we come up with a photograph relating to the theme given for that week, we print a 8x10 of it, put it up in the school, and the staff have green dots they put next to the photos they like for the week. At the end of the year the photographer with the most green dots gets some sort of prize. This weeks theme is Season Change. I actually really like how it turned out. Wish me luck for those green dots ;)
Those times when you ponder the decisions that you made in life. What did you do or what did you not do that brought you to this point.

“Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” —Henry James
My heart sways with the tall Summer grasses. ~ Me
Soon enough they will wither like grass, like green herbs fading in summer’s heat. Psalm 37:2
The grass withers, the flower fades; nothing lasts except the word of our God. It will stand forever. Isaiah 40:8

Those who know me personally will know I have a little van and like to travel around the UK for my photography. I recently spent some time in Brecon and West Wales for just under two weeks. And I really loved spending time focusing on photography again. Just getting through some of the pictures now and so I have lots of wildlife and landscapes stories to come. :)
This Image is from the first night where I walked up Pen Y Fan. I set off at 1am and only reached the peak at 6am as I was too distracted taking pictures of the stars on the way up! But I was just in time for a beautiful sunrise. :) It was seriously an amazing walk in the night and would highly recommend to anyone.
Having some problems with photoshop at the moment and it seems to not work or crash when I'm using it anyone else having problems?
There's a lot to like about the white ibis. Those lovely blue eyes are a favorite. The incredible gripping ability of those feet/claws is evident when you ZOOM IN by pressing L then f11.

Thanks so much for your visits and comments.
37418 is caught head on whilst crossing Pontllotyn viaduct in some lovely evening light up the Rhymney valley working 2R20 the 17:01 Cardiff Central to Rhymney service.
IT WAS ONE OF THOSE DAYS, when nothing was happening, we all have them, was sitting in the hide, waiting, and willing this tufty to swim past this area of reeds that was being highlighted by a brief show of sun, which also meant it had to go past the hide, eventually it took a mad rush, hence the large wake of water, and luckily, managed to capture this one. Taken at Stodmarsh.Kent.U.K
