On a cold winter morning, this bull seemed to be frozen in time, most of the herd (out of frame) were munching on the grass and showing other signs of movement. Maybe he had finished his grassy breakfast, earlier? Whatever he was as stationary on the way back from my walk as he was on the way out!

Weather closing in on a cold strong wind.

For Crazy Tuesday: "Numbers"

So, I Was At The Bar Last Night And The Waitress Screamed..."Does Anyone Know CPR!?!"

I Shouted Back..."Hell, I Know The Whole Alphabet!"

Everyone Laughed...Well, Except For This One Guy.

When I went to Orkney I spent a couple of days on one of the smaller islands, Rousay. On the first morning I explored Faraclett Head. It is a great place to lose yourself while watching out for the many birds there. Orkney has about 70 islands and is about ten miles off the north coast of the Scottish mainland. I think 20 of the islands are inhabited.

“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.”

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.

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?

  

It's astounding

Time is fleeting

Madness takes its toll

But listen closely

Not for very much longer

I've got to keep control

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 :-)

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!

Does this thing work?

The first time, ever i saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and the stars

Were the gifts you gave

To the dark, and the endless skies

My love

To the dark, and the endless skies

And the first time, ever i kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move in my hands

Like the trembling heart

Of a captive bird

That was there, at my command

My love

That was there, at my command

My love
