“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”
― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption: A Story from Different Seasons

ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE – ELLA FITZGERALD
Spring is here at last
my little bird has flown
he stayed throughout Winter for four long months
but now he is fully grown
I have empty nest syndrome
he was a part of my every day
but yesterday standing by the Willow
I saw that he was not far away
I still watch the screen of the CCTV
waiting for him to roost each night
even though I know he's in the gardens
I am hoping he will nest to my delight
selfish of me I suppose although
it has been difficult to let go
I was privileged to watch this tiny wild creature
for as long as I did and at least I know
that he is happy in my gardens
I saw he met a lovely friend
I imagine them snugly in the ivy
that twines the willow around without end
each evening I stand and listen intently
and wish upon a star for signs
that my little Blue Tit is making plans
to raise a family this Spring Time
my little Robin follows me around
singing loudly and reassuring me
that my little Blue Tit is safe and secure
and life goes on quite naturally
I am heartened by this sweet revelation
and turn my attention to the budding trees
the thick evergreen of the twisting ivy
that will remain again this year for a new family
I heard tell that these little birds
can have up to fourteen tiny babies; I'm learning
and how wonderful it will be to look up at the Willow
and see my little Blue Tit's Family Tree emerging.

Cruising passed the signals at North Holly, Lake State train Z127 wastes no time as they continue their way south toward Wixom with CEFX 6020 leading the way south.
A garage that time has forgotten. Collection of classic Nissan Figaros in the forecourt (temporary upload, unless it gets 99+ fave lol.. ; ) .. Happy Tuesday :-)
Sunset at Cafe Shore Poole Dorset and reflections of Poole Harbour. This is now Rick Steins cafe from November 2015.
It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely
Not for very much longer
I've got to keep control
Pulsatilla styriaca, Häuselberg, Leoben, Steiermark, Austria. It is peak season now for these early pulsatillas. But some are late comers.
the time in Qatar this photo was taken.
Neither my camera's time is wrong nor is the time in the photo ( i went back 5 minutes after and double checked), just need to read it right! :)
Ive been filming these birds since nestbuilding.Im only now getting the spare time to catch some photographs of them before they leave!
I took off the tops of several electronic devices and didn't find anything I liked. then I just took off my watch... and now I'm not even sure if it is an "electronic" at all... but the copper inductor may be a hint...
HAVE A HAPPY MACRO-MONDAY everyone :-)

enjoy the last hours of sunday...
It's a time for everything.
It's always a time for afterthought, I sure have done that this year.
It's a wonder that I still have one or two brain cells left, lol.
Brain cells aren't used only for work.
Difficult tasks within can blow your mind away.
Why is that?
When you are at work you use your brain in a relatively calm, rational way, it's mostly based on knowledge.
When you are dealing with your inner being you will touch your feelings as soon as you open the door only a tiny bit.
And that hurts.
We normally don't like to be hurt.
Therefore we leave things to be instead of dealing with them, even though you know that you do things in a way you know isn't proper for you or others.
And then you are stuck.
It only gets worse, it never gets fixed without your attention.
Somehow the problem keeps growing and will become like a domino, leaving you with even more tasks to deal with, but the same problem is there like a basis, a foundation, it just transforms into different shapes.
"The story of my life..", you can think, "Why am I always so unlucky?"
Giving it attention is the same as giving the problem light.
Darkness is never a solution.
Light is.
Attention can be done in many ways. When you first are aware of that something is wrong, then you have taken the first step.
We all deal with our stuff in different ways.
The most important is that you actually deal with it.
Some don't need dwelling, back an forth, some know exactly what to do and proceed.
Some needs breaks in thinking, to let it all mature and when the time is right, they do what they need to do.
I'm a slow one, taking into consideration all and everything.
But when I know I'm right, I act like a tsunami. 2018 has been filled with emotional tsunamis, followed by action and intuition.
Tsunami after tsunami.
My tsunamis are like fire in the forest, my foundation gets cleansed, purified and leaving me with a new respect and love for myself and leaving me ready for new adventures.
The unknown is always a nice pillow, we can make many excuses to just be left stuck.
We often don't see that we are doing just that.
Time for heavy food has been and is definitely over for me, for a long time.
Heavy food can make me sleepy and slow in my body and mind.
I can feel the urge of going for a hike instead of eating the dessert.
But I'm not rude, so of course I don't do that, lol.
The company I have had this Christmas was just as perfect as it should be.
Everyone was thankful for the nice time we could have together, everyone in a good mood.
One special person was missing, but this year has indeed been an adventurous year and we all needed to end the year in this way.
I'm thankful for what has been.
I'm thankful for what is.
I'm thankful for what is to come.
Dear diary, thanks for listening to me this year 😁 I will continue in 2019, I promise, lol.
My journey isn't over yet.
And remember, when I'm in 97 I will be jumping in parachute from a plane 😅
