Mama grey seal urging him on to the sand dunes at Donna Nook, Lincolnshire. (I'm pretty sure she was pushing him from behind!)
I've really been having the urge to shoot naked lately and most of my pics have been with skin I've finally figured it out today. I've been feeling very vulnerable lately I feel like I've been putting my self out there in all aspects of my life and its very scary.
But I've done it knowingly and on purpose and I'm not gonna run scared into my hole again! I'm staying out there and letting people in letting people see me and whatever happens because of it will happen and I'm not gonna run away!
A really good example is this "person" (hey you) some of you asked about since I wrote what I wrote on day 141 and after ive replied "NO" to your question "do you have a boy friend?" the response was the same " be careful!! You might get hurt" but that’s exactly the point. No I don’t want to get hurt, nobody does, but Its about putting myself out there I have to be in those situations that make me FEEL!! In those situations that make me vulnerable I've been staying away from that for years! And if I want to learn how to open my heart I have to start doing things that are scary! And I have to go on roads I don’t know where they will lead me but I have to go !! I have to be there
Besides my old and wise soul knows that no one can ever hurt me only I can … and my heart is by far the strongest most balanced and wise organ in my body! It is time though to let people in to have a look around…
The pics the curator chose for august are also making me feel very very very vulnerable and very OUT THERE very naked!! That’s also been throwing me off abit im starting to get really scared. People are starting to notice me and look at me I walk in the street and people are looking (well men mostly) but it never use to be like that! I was always in the back round never in the front! but i think Im in the front now ...of my own life!
And it’s a weird place to be when your use to the dark alleys of your anxieties! And i think that’s why I feel so naked… I feel raw!!
And now is when it gets tough! Staying in this rawness and not running away and putting all my guards up again! thats the hard part.

I hope I don’t sound arrogant and conceited!!
(see that me juging my self !!)
Despite all I have seen and experienced, I still get the same simple thrill out of glimpsing a tiny patch of snow in a high mountain gully and feel the same urge to climb towards it.

Painted Lady Butterfly: -
This species is a migrant to our shores and, in some years, the migration can be spectacular. The most-recent spectacle, in 2009, is considered to be one of the greatest migrations ever, with sightings from all over the British Isles that are definitely on a par with previous cardui years.
This species originates from north Africa, and it has been suggested that the urge to migrate is triggered when an individual encounters a certain density of its own kind within a given area. This theory makes perfect sense, since this species can occur in high densities that result in food plants being stripped bare on occasion with many larvae perishing as a result.
Unfortunately, this species is unable to survive our winter in any stage. This is a real shame, for not only does this species often arrive in large numbers, but is a welcome sight as it nectars in gardens throughout the British Isles in late summer. This butterfly has a strong flight and can be found anywhere in the British Isles, including Orkney and Shetland. An interesting fact is that this butterfly is the only butterfly species ever to have been recorded from Iceland.

“Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick refugees of a long war.”
Loren Eiseley (American essayist, philosopher, and literary naturalist, 1907-1977)
"Farming is a profession of hope." _ Brian Brett
While I am patiently waiting for the warmer weather of spring to arrive, I realize that farmers have more at stake than I do if spring is a wetter and cooler season this year. Last weekend we had our snowstorm but this weekend there is hope of two digit temperatures and some sun. There is hope that this will melt the last of our snow and maybe I can play in the garden for a few hours. I need to be careful not to uncover too much debris as some of our pollinators may still be sleeping in the warm underground until it really warms up. However, I just can't resist the urge to get my hands just a little bit dirty this weekend.
“My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.” - Steve McCurry.
It is a daunting project to go through all the wonderful images I took of our spring trip. However, there is so much happening around me at home, I have to get out and explore while I can. Winter will come soon enough when I can work on the computer more. We took a short hike on the trail nearby and found all kinds of fungi. September is supposedly the best month for mushrooms. So forgive me if I am not as attentive on Flickr these days. I am satisfying an urge to capture new images and fall will have much to offer! I hope everyone else is enjoying the new season ahead of us, wherever you live in the world. Thank you to all who follow me and stay in touch.
Wanderlust - that urge to break from everyday life and experience something new and unknown.
Last shot from my Wanderlust calendar! Hope you have a good month. Bits and pieces planned at this busy time of the year, including another little trip, thanks to JJ! More about that later.
