Again on the topic of image composition: I don't like flowers that are taken in the middle, from above. For the most part, they seem boring to me. This flower is also from above. My way out was not to take it outdoors, but in the BlackBox on black and slightly offset to the side. With the targeted spot lighting with a Rollei Cube, I wanted to add some dynamics to the picture. I hope my idea was good enough
Wieder mal zu Thema Bildaufbau: Ich mag mittig, von oben aufgenommene Blüten nicht. In den meisten Fällen wirken sie auf mich langweilig. Auch diese Blüte ist quasi von oben. Mein Ausweg war sie nicht im Freien, sondern in der BlackBox auf Schwarz und etwas seitlich verschoben aufzunehmen. Durch die gezielte Spot Beleuchtung mit einem Rollei Cube wollte ich dann doch noch etwas Dynamik in die Aufnahme bringen.

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
The rich and the poor ones
The war is so long
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

This topic is near and dear to me. As a victim of cyber-bullying I understand how it can change your life.
The wounds on the inside take longer to heal than wounds on the outside do. They hurt more, they last longer, they alter who you are. Though it always makes you feel the way I look in this pic.
If you need help, don't hesitate to reach out for someone.

Children sleeping
Snow is softly falling
Dreams are calling
Likes bells in the distance
We were dreamers
Not so long ago
But one by one
We all had to grow up
When it seems the magic slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas Day
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe
Trains move quickly
To their journey's end
Destinations
Are where we begin again
Ships go sailing
Far across the sea
Trusting starlight
To get where they need to be
When it seems that we have lost our way
We find ourselves again on Christmas Day
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe
If you just believe
If you just believe
If you just believe
Just believe
Just believe

The topic for Macro Mondays is Just Leaves, so I took what appeared to be a smooth, shiny leaf and got down real close with my macro lens and found out it isn't so smooth and shiny after all.
Patterns in Nature is the topic for Macro Mondays, July 15th
and for Monday Music Mania, one of the songs I love the most: Fields of Gold, by Sting.

~~~ You'll remember me when the west wind moves upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky as we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love for to gaze awhile upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down among the fields of gold..... ~~~

Even the birds like making snow angels. I watched as a Jackdaw chased some tasty morsel creating these snow angel patterns on the garage roof.
As the idea of this exercise was to test my back after crushing my lower disc at Christmas, I wanted to see how it would fair with climbing, with a full backpack. I climbed up above Glen Muick to the snow line 400 meters above me, and as can be seen by the snow on the path, I'm almost there!!
I've been watching this nest for weeks, to see what's emerging. today I was lucky!
It is still one egg in the nest.

We had to cross this bridge on the bikes on our descent to Loch Callater ... didn't feel very safe!!
For this topic, I chose tiny glass bottles (18mm high in total and 9 mm wide) that I filled with water colored with food coloring. Unfortunately, the bottle necks are so narrow that I had to fill them with a syringe several times until the mixtures were right, which resulted in my sink looking like a nuclear explosion had taken place!😉
Für dieses Thema habe ich winzig kleine Glasfläschchen (18mm hoch total und 9 mm weit) gewählt, die ich mit Lebensmittelfarbe gefärbtem Wasser gefüllt habe. Leider sind die Flaschenhälse so eng, dass ich sie mit einer Spritze befüllen musste, und das mehrmals bis die Mischungen stimmten, was dazu führte, dass mein Spülbecken anschliessend aussah als ob eine nukleare Explosion stattgefunden hätte!😉
A tree stands above its compatriots with the backdrop of Pressendye, our target for the day, in the background.
Pressendye is just a small Graham of 620 meters (2034 feet), but a 15 Km (9 mile) circuit definitely stretched the legs.
En los últimos días, los creyentes de todas las denominaciones están esperando la venida del Señor Jesucristo, y todos piensan que su propia denominación es la más auténtica, que el Señor primero arrebatará a los creyentes de su denominación cuando regrese.
El Apocalipsis dice: “Y me volví para ver de quién era la voz que hablaba conmigo. Y al volverme, vi siete candelabros de oro; y en medio de los candelabros, vi a uno semejante al Hijo del Hombre, vestido con una túnica que le llegaba hasta los pies y ceñido por el pecho con un cinto de oro” (Apocalipsis 1:12-13). “En cuanto al misterio de las siete estrellas que viste en mi mano derecha y de los siete candelabros de oro: las siete estrellas son los ángeles de las siete iglesias, y los siete candelabros son las siete iglesias” (Apocalipsis 1:20).
De estos dos pasajes, podemos ver que los siete candelabros de oro son las siete iglesias, no se refieren a alguna denominación o alguna iglesia, y Cristo no pertenece a alguna denominación o alguna iglesia. Así, cuando el Señor Jesús regrese, no arrebatará a los creyentes de una cierta denominación o una cierta iglesia, sino que llevará a todas las ovejas de Dios de todas las iglesias ante Él.
La Palabra de Dios dice: “Existen varias religiones importantes en el mundo, y cada una de ellas tiene su cabeza, o líder, y los seguidores están esparcidos por diferentes países y regiones de todo el mundo; cada país, grande o pequeño, contiene diferentes religiones. Sin embargo, independientemente de cuántas religiones existan por todo el mundo, todas las personas del universo existen en definitiva bajo la dirección de un Dios, y no son cabezas o líderes religiosos quienes guían su existencia. Es decir, ningún cabeza o líder religioso específico guía a la humanidad, sino que la dirige el Creador, que creó los cielos y la tierra, y todas las cosas, y también a aquella; esto es una realidad. Aunque el mundo tiene varias religiones principales, por muy relevantes que sean, todas existen bajo el dominio del Creador y ninguna de ellas puede sobrepasar el ámbito de ese dominio. El desarrollo de la humanidad, el progreso social, el desarrollo de las ciencias naturales, cada uno de estos aspectos es inseparable de las disposiciones del Creador, y esta obra no es algo que cualquier líder religioso particular pueda hacer. Los líderes religiosos son simplemente la cabeza de una religión particular, y no pueden representar a Dios, o a Aquel que creó los cielos, la tierra y todas las cosas. Los líderes religiosos pueden guiar a quienes están dentro de toda la religión, pero no pueden dominar a todas las criaturas bajo el cielo; este es un hecho universalmente reconocido. Los líderes religiosos son simplemente meros líderes, y no pueden equipararse a Dios (el Creador). Todas las cosas están en manos del Creador, y al final volverán a ellas. La humanidad fue creada originalmente por Dios, e independientemente de la religión, todas las personas volverán bajo Su dominio; es inevitable”.

peony, (genus Paeonia), genus of about 30 species of flowering plants (family Paeoniaceae) known for their large showy blossoms. All but two species are native to Europe and Asia, and several species are cultivated as ornamentals and for the floral industry.
European common Peony
garden peony
There are three distinct groups of peonies: the herbaceous Eurasian peonies, the Asian tree, or moutan, peonies, and the North American peonies. The herbaceous peonies are perennials that grow to a height of almost 1 metre (about 3 feet). They have large, glossy, much-divided leaves borne on annual stems produced by fleshy rootstocks. In late spring and early summer they produce large single and double flowers of white, pink, rose, and deep crimson colour. The fragrant Chinese peony (P. lactiflora) and the European common peony (P. officinalis) have given rise to most of the familiar garden peonies. P. lactiflora has provided hundreds of cultivated varieties, including the Japanese types, with one or two rows of petals surrounding a cluster of partially formed petals in the centre (petaloid stamens).
The tree peonies are shrubby plants with permanent woody stems. The plants sometimes attain a height of 1.2 to 1.8 metres (about 4 to 6 feet). They begin flowering in late spring. The blossoms vary in colour from white to lilac, violet, and red. Tree peonies require a hot dry summer season for best growth, and they can be grafted in late summer or autumn on the roots of herbaceous peonies. Horticultural varieties have been developed from the Chinese species P. suffruticosa. A race of hybrids, developed by crossing P. suffruticosa with the yellow Chinese P. delayavi, has both single and double flowers, sometimes tinged with red. Many varieties have been grafted onto supportive rootstock and so cannot be readily propagated by simple division. Peonies are seldom grown from seeds except in breeding programs; the seed takes about two years to germinate.
Two peony species are native to North America. Brown’s, or western, peony (P. browni) ranges from California to Montana, and California peony (P. californica) is found only along the Pacific coastal mountains of California and Mexico.
Nearing the summit of The Cairnwell now, and we look back across a deep Glen to another summit, Càrn a' Ghèoidh, but not one we'll be doing today as it's already "in the bag".
This trip sees me bagging 2 more Munro's. Carn Aosda, my 22nd Munro, stands at 917 meters (3008 feet), while The Cairnwell, my 23rd Munro, stands at 933 meters (3061 feet). They do both stand at the heart of the Glenshee Ski Development, so may be not a pretty or remote as some other Munro's.

When I saw this topic on the list, I instantly knew what I wanted to photograph. Or, perhaps more precisely, who. After all, the Wild Birds Unlimited store I frequent has a shop cat named Frankie. How could I not bring along my camera one day and take photos of him?

A cluster of tiny white fungi grow from the side of an old tree stump. I have no idea what they are so any fungus experts able to provide an ID would be appreciated.
Approaching the far end of Loch Muick, near Glas Allt, the Pine and Autumn Larch trees are reflected in the perfectly calm waters of Loch Muick, deep in the Scottish Highlands, on a beautiful Autumn morning.
Our house in Scotland being sold, one week before we move away back to Dinnington, where I grew up and where my family still is, including the grandkids, we decided to take one last circuit around Loch Muick, the first place we explored when we moved up to Scotland 15 years ago. It's still as stunning as ever and I will certainly miss this kind of scenery.
