You'll be on my mind
Don't give yourself away
To the weight of love
You'll be on your side
Don't give yourself away
The weight of, weight of love
Friendships are worth their weight in gold!!
“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”
– C.S. Lewis
“A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.”
– Unknown

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
I seen ya around for a long long time
I really remember you when you drank my wine
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
I'd seen ya walking down in Chinatown
I called ya but you could not look around
This is the largest gator I've ever seen in or out of captivity. This fellow was a monster. I'm guessing this guy is about 13 feet and weights in at about 790 pounds. It was truly a monster.
The White House is a building and National Heritage Site in Rotterdam, Netherlands, built in 1898 in the Art Nouveau style. The building is 43 m (141 ft) tall, with 10 floors. [1] It was also the first high-rise building in Europe. The building is listed as a Rijksmonument.
Construction
The architect Willem Molenbroek designed the 10-storey building, at the time an unprecedented height in Europe. The site at Wijnhaven 3 is just 1 m above sea-level and skeptics claimed that the soft soil of Rotterdam would be unable to adequately support the building, so before construction could properly begin, 1000 piles were driven into the ground to support the building's weight. The building is constructed from iron, steel and concrete, and includes two thick interior walls which increase the building's strength. Unlike many other contemporary buildings of the time, wood was not a significant construction material due to the fear of fire. The building cost 127,900 Dutch guilders.
It was also one of the few buildings in central Rotterdam to survive the German bombing campaigns of World War II.
I think we've got some wild and windy cold weather later this week , so I hope for some good beach fun. It'll make a. change from my adder watching. I've seen well over twenty individuals so far this year. the males should be shedding their skins soon then looking for females. So much to look forward to. Weights and Measures is by Dry the River
In this haunting landscape the viewer is drawn into a twisted path flanked by grotesque, gnarled trees. The road winds through an eerie forest, where each tree appears to writhe in silent agony, their twisted forms creating a claustrophobic tunnel of shadows. The oppressive atmosphere is palpable, as if the very air is thick with the weight of forgotten sorrows and lost souls. The monochromatic palette enhances the sense of desolation, transforming the scene into a surreal nightmare.

The Nikon D850 weighs 915g (2.017 lb) for the body only, and 1005g (2.22 lb) with the battery and a memory card.
By Comparison my gear:
The Olympus E-M1 Mark II weighs
574 g (1.27 lb / 20.25 oz) with the battery and memory card included.
It doesn't sound like much of a difference - but when you have been holding it for several hours you can tell. Its one of the main reasons my Nikon gear is generally gathering dust.
In the street I wasn't sure why he seemed to be "lighting up the sky" with his flash.
It's another changeable day today, we're hoping to do some butterfly transects this afternoon but we need a bit of sun . We'll see. I had a lovely meal last night with June, and had some orchids potted by her, so my collection is growing. Weights and measures is by Dry The River.
Most backyard birds are surprisingly small, but when I tell people that our Brown-headed nuthatches are small, I don't think they really understand just how small. The black oil sunflower seed, seen here in his beak, isn't even a half in long.
Overall in size, they're about halfway between a Ruby-throated hummingbird, and a Black-capped chickadee. They average a little less that four inches (100mm) long, beak to tail, and run about 1/3 of an ounce (9.5g) in weight.
The openings in the suet cage in the first pic are roughly 3/4 of an in (19mm).
his face, weathered like old leather, told stories no words could reach. from the street, i caught a glimpse of him—his hands folded, his gaze steady, as if lost between memory and the present. the café den coll, open to the street, framed the scene like a stage. he spoke to another man, but his thoughts seemed miles away. i focused my lens on him, drawn to the weight of his silence, the years etched in his features. the slate beside him bore the words "se feliz," a handwritten reminder, almost ironic in its quiet boldness. perhaps it’s the simplest wisdom, the hardest to follow: be happy.
The cracked-ass sofa moaned under Ray’s weight. His big frame slouched into the shadows, only the flicker of his lighter and the shine off his fake-gold chain giving him away.
Across from him, the dog sat stone still—muscles taut, eyes cold.
Behind him was Vee.
She moved like she knew the price of trouble and how to light a flame without getting burned. She bent over, her lips close enough to taste but not to touch, lighting his blunt with a smooth flick of her lighter. Her fingers brushed his jaw—the same jaw she used to bite at in the dark.
“You look just like your pops,” she murmured.
Ray cracked a crooked smile.
“That supposed to be a diss or some kinda curse?”
She stepped around the couch and stood in front of him, letting the busted lamp’s glow catch the slick curve of her hips and the shine in her hair.
“Just sayin’. He had the same way of burying that fury behind silence. Same kind of mutt. Same need to run shit his way.”
Ray took a long pull, blowing smoke out slow.
“And you, Vee… still pokin’ around in dead folks’ business? Or you here to get your share?”
Macro Mondays 'back in the day' theme.
Small brass weights from vintage scales which I hope fit the theme - anyway they do for me as I've used digital scales for many years.
Total width measurement of all the weights is 4.5 cm
I think as photographers we tend to be connoisseurs of light. Someone else might look out and see a cloudy day. But a photographer is bound to appreciate much more nuance in those clouds. Is it just a thin layer, producing 'cloudy bright' conditions on the ground? Or a thicker layer that allows light, but produces no distinct shadows. My mind frequently evaluates cloud and light conditions, even when I'm not actively engaged in shooting; often when I don't even have a camera with me. The process simply cannot be switched off. The cloud cover and resulting ambient light has a tremendous effect on the look and mood of photos, and if there's one thing I'm learning it's how to leverage this to shape visual stories; to tell them the way I want them told. One condition I love to work in is high density clouds. The ones that darken the sky to the point where there are no shadows at all. A leaden sky that sucks the life out of color and contrast out of photos and causes an oppressive feeling, both visually and even mentally. We've all sensed how differently we feel on a bright day compared to a dark one. Even if you're at work indoors, your spirit is likely to soar a bit more on a bright day. It's just human nature. There's still plenty of energy on a cloudy day, the trick is learning how to tap into it. The heaviness of the day was upon me as I wandered about the local cemetery and eventually gravitated toward this magnificent Gothic receiving vault. The masonry played perfectly into the visual concept of weight and obscurity. There was just enough clarity in the foreground to create a layered effect, as acuity drops off with distance in the fog. Half or more of the thrill for me in a situation like this is simply experiencing it. That coupled with the sort of intimacy I feel as I am invariably the only one present to witness these things. This exclusivity heightens awareness and my senses. I can't help but think that would be diluted in the presence of others.
