“In a battle of believability, the winner is the one with the best body language, not the clearest logic.”
― Jarod Kintz, This Book is Not FOR SALE
Chauncey reclines on the trunk of a fallen tree. She was a little nervous when I first put her up there, settled once I had her lay down. She is filthy black, so I did it in B & W to hide her dirtiness:o) It was so sandy that within minutes she was black.
"Then we had set up last night, you had told me your story, and there was a little more to trust from you...And then what happened this morning...Instead of saving yourself and running...you come back for me...You kept close, you kept me safe, you didn't think to leave me behind...and you were willing to kill to save us both...That was what made me realize you deserved my trust. That you would protect me..."
Kellie Castle is now run by the National Trust for Scotland but was originaly restored by the sculptor Hew Lorimer and family and many of his sculptures can still be see in his original studio in the castle. The beautiful garden is run organically and I think that there is only one main gardener who maintains it. A hard job without using weed-killer.

Went to the National Trust's Moseley Old Hall, wonderful place! Strutting around the gardens was this beautiful peacock who was more than happy to raise his feathers. So majestic :-)

Yo mate, this is all safe, just don't look at the gaps!
This structure is a safety ladder on the edge of a quai in Kiel-Holtenau. Never mind the rust and gaps, it's all secure, trust me!

One of the greatest things a D.O.M can do for his s.u.b is to silence her mind. To allow her to let go of the world, to close her eyes trusting in his protection and simply "be".
Sometimes in life we have to take a little time out just to make sure that we are on the path we truly want to be on. It’s so easy to wander off in all sorts of directions, becoming distracted by all sorts of things and right now that is exactly what I’m doing I’m taking a little time out to make sure I’m on the path I want to be on. I’m going within where everything is so clear and simple so that I can continue on the path that feels right to me. I can never be afraid of my own truth, my truth is all that I have and only I know what feels right in my heart and all I know is that I have to follow it no matter what. I am making lots of changes at the moment and it feels incredible. I feel I am back on track. Love, Peace and Freedom to all of you!!!!
It's a cruel cruel world, to face on your own,
A heavy cross, to carry alone,
The lights are on, but everyone's gone,
And it's cruel
It's a funny way, to make ends meet,
when the lights are out on every street,
It feels alright, but never complete,
without you,
I trust you, if it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,
All the rainy nights, even the coldest days,
you're moments ago, but seconds away,
The principal of Nature, it's true but, it's a cruel world,
We can play it safe, or play it cool,
follow the leader, or make up all the rules,
whatever you want, the choice is yours,
So choose,
I trust you, if it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,
I trust you, it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,
I trust you, if it's already been done, undo it,
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it,
I trust you.

My original shot for tonight.
Got distracted with the whole - drawing-on-myself thing.
Slightly more inspirational....which is what I was truly feeling.
But ah....perhaps tomorrow I'll leave the eyeliner for my eyelids, eh?

Waddesdon Manor is a country house in the village of Waddesdon, in Buckinghamshire, England. The house was built in the Neo-Renaissance style of a French château between 1874 and 1889 for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild (1839–1898). Since this was the preferred style of the Rothschild's it became also known as the Goût Rothschild. The house, set in formal gardens and an English landscape park, was built on a barren hilltop overlooking Waddesdon village. The last member of the Rothschild family to own Waddesdon was James de Rothschild. He bequeathed the house and its contents to the National Trust in 1957. Today, following an extensive restoration, it is administered by a Rothschild charitable trust that is overseen by Jacob Rothschild, 4th Baron Rothschild. In 2007–08 it was the National Trust's second most visited paid-entry property, with 386,544 visitors. The Baron wanted a house in the style of the great Renaissance châteaux of the Loire Valley. The Baron, a member of the Viennese branch of the Rothschild banking dynasty, chose as his architect Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur. Destailleur was already experienced in working in this style, having overseen the restoration of many châteaux in that region, in particular that of the Château de Mouchy. Through Destailleur's vision, Waddesdon embodied an eclectic style based on the châteaux so admired by his patron, Baron Ferdinand. The towers at Waddesdon were based on those of the Château de Maintenon, and the twin staircase towers, on the north facade, were inspired by the staircase tower at the Château de Chambord. However, following the theme of unparalleled luxury at Waddesdon, the windows of the towers at Waddesdon were glazed, unlike those of the staircase at Chambord. They are also far more ornate. The structural design of Waddesdon, however, was not all retrospective. Hidden from view were the most modern innovations of the late 19th century including a steel frame, which took the strain of walls on the upper floors, which consequently permitted the layout of these floors to differ completely from the lower floors. The house also had hot and cold running water in its bathrooms, central heating, and an electric bell system to summon the numerous servants. The building contractor was Edward Conder & Son. The towers were modelled on the staircase towers of Château de Chambord. One of the twin staircase-towers inspired by those at the Château de Maintenon. Once his château was complete, Baron Ferdinand installed his extensive collections of French 18th-century tapestries, boiseries, furniture and ceramics, English and Dutch paintings and Renaissance works of art. Extensive landscaping was carried out and the gardens enhanced with statuary, pavilions and an aviary. The Proserpina fountain was brought to the manor at the end of the 19th Century from the Palace of the Dukes of Parma in northern Italy: the Ducal Palace of Colorno. The gardens and landscape park were laid out by the French landscape architect Elie Lainé. An attempt was made to transplant full-grown trees by chloroforming their roots, to limit the shock. While this novel idea was unsuccessful, many very large trees were successfully transplanted, causing the grounds to be such a wonder of their day that, in 1890, Queen Victoria invited herself to view them. The Queen was, however, more impressed by the electric lighting in the house than the wonders of the park. Fascinated by the invention she had not seen before, she is reported to have spent ten minutes switching a newly electrified 18th-century chandelier on and off. When Baron Ferdinand died in 1898, the house passed to his sister Alice de Rothschild, who further developed the collections. Baron Ferdinand's collection of Renaissance works and a collection of arms were both bequeathed to the British Museum as the "Waddesdon Bequest". During World War II, children under the age of five were evacuated from London and lived at Waddesdon Manor. Following Alice de Rothschild's death in 1922, the property and collections passed to her great-nephew James A. "Jimmy" de Rothschild of the French branch of the family, who further enriched it with objects from the collections of his late father Baron Edmond James de Rothschild of Paris. When James de Rothschild died in 1957, he bequeathed Waddesdon Manor, 200 acres (0.81 km2) of grounds and its contents to the National Trust, to be preserved for posterity. The Trust also received their largest ever endowment from him: £750,000 (£15,310,270 as of 2014).

One of my favorite wildlife moments. Just sitting still and watching can sometimes build trust and a curiosity you wouldn't expect from an animal that can often be timid.
