Thought better show what I've been up too!
Yes, it's that time of year again, and spent a very cold day in the wind and even showers yesterday ... that was NOT forecast, so didn't have a coat.
But the Adrenalin starts as the birds start to arrive.. and this chap did not disappoint!
Hope that you enjoy seeing him
When you look back, you can make connections.
When you look ahead, you can never see the whole way.
Just trust that everything will be okay.

It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely
Not for very much longer
I've got to keep control
The first image that I upload this year 2025, is of a game of chess, a game as old as known, which has its origins in India, although modern chess, as we know it today, has more than five hundred years, the first game of modern chess, was played in Spain in the year 1475, besides being an ancient game and good for exercising our brain, is played by many people from different countries of the world. The black and white pieces face each other in another game, who do you think will win the game?
La primera imagen que subo este año 2025, es de una partida de ajedrez, un juego tan antiguo como conocido, que tiene sus orígenes en la India, aunque el ajedrez moderno, tal y como lo conocemos hoy en día, tiene más de quinientos años, la primera partida de ajedrez moderno, se jugó en España en el año 1475, además de ser un juego antiguo y bueno para ejercitar nuestro cerebro, es jugado por muchas personas de diferentes países del mundo. Las piezas blancas y negras se enfrentan en otra partida, ¿Quién crees que ganará la partida?
“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.

I am so happy to see that all three of the Black Oystercatcher chicks have made it - so far. One parent is always on guard while the other parent brings in tidbits and feeds each chick in turn. The chicks are already experts at hiding in the rocks when not being fed. They blend perfectly into their environment.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Defying space and time to bring you a previously unpublished shot from one of my Street Photography Workshops in Glasgow during September 2018. I had just been talking about the concept of having recurring themes in your work in order to help you out when you are losing inspiration. One of my Flickr albums being 'Pink and Blue' is just an example of this. Enjoy!
Sometimes you have to grasp the moment and pause and just hold that thought... that moment.
You can't stop time. You can't capture light. You can only turn your face up and let it rain down.
Kim Edwards
If you are always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be.

I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath before I start off again
Driven on without a moment to spend
To pass an evening with a drink and a friend
I let my skin get too thin
I'd like to pause, no matter what I pretend
Like some pilgrim who learns to transcend
Learns to live as if each step was the end
(Time stand still)
I'm not looking back, but I want to look around me now
(Time stand still)
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Time stand still
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Experience slips away
Experience slips away
Time stand still

We still have a few old fencelines on our property. Some are basically tree branches stuck in the ground with a strand or two of barbed wire still hanging on.I'm guessing these fences date from the '50s. The stories these old fences could tell....Happy fence friday all!
For all the little things out there that matter.
All blood is familiar.
A bird has a beetles soul.
(Please have a sense of humor, because I just laughed too)
Time is passing, though, little, big and small.
