This image was taken in February of this year right after the Swallow-tailed Kites returned from their wintering grounds in South America! It is hard to believe that most have finished nesting and are now teaching the young Kites how to hunt as they begin preparations for the return trip to South American in another month!! They are one of my favorite birds!! Hope you like the image! Thank you as always for all of the favorites and comments!!

Local boats during blue hour, moored at the small marina located at the end of the Pitt River before it opens up into the wonderworld of Pitt Lake.
Communities of rustic to luxury cabins are nestled in clusters along the lake's shores.
A whole new world opens up to a pristine tidal lake that is only accessible by boat.
Pitt Lake according to Wikipedia:
Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. About 53.5 square kilometres in area, it is about 25 km long and about 4.5 km wide at its widest. It is one of the world's relatively few tidal lakes, and among the largest. In Pitt Lake, there is on average a three foot tide range; thus Pitt Lake is separated from sea level and tidal waters during most hours of each day during the 15 foot tide cycle of the Pitt River and Strait of Georgia estuary immediately downstream.

It didn’t matter that we’d seen it on YouTube a gazillion times already. That we’d pored over Flickr for images from here had no effect whatsoever. When we pulled up in the car park and saw it for ourselves for the very first time, two pairs of eyes popped out of their sockets as if on cartoon springs and boinged about in front of us as we gasped in amazement. Boinged? Is that even a word? West Brom fans say it is, so we’ll go with it. Jokulsarlon was bonkers, and so were we at first sight. It was as if we’d arrived at a seaport, yet instead of mighty ships waiting to carry us off on a cruise, a chaos of white and blue forms. Every one of them uniquely shaped and ever changing, littering the lagoon, silent, yet moving away from the glacier towards the ocean at a speed that was barely detectable.
We’d arrived late in the evening, and though it was still quite busy, there was space to roam quietly alone, and I edged away from what crowds there were along the shoreline towards the glacier, until the only sound I could hear was that of large chunks of ice cracking and buckling mournfully out on the water. From the glacier they would break free, floating around like the world’s slowest rubber ducks in a bathtub, nodding to each other silently under the endless Icelandic daylight. Each of them knowing that after two hundred years or more of being trapped in an enormous blue wall of ice, they’d soon be swept away along the shortest river in Iceland, beneath that handsome white suspension bridge and onto Diamond Beach for the final act. If you’d bought a bottle of gin with you, here was the place to grab a chunk or two to bring it to the proper temperature. Sadly, I didn’t have gin. Happily I had a camera. And a spare one just in case.
The hinterland glacier creaked and heaved under a glowing envelope of late sunlight, that poked through dark clouds and ignited the scene before me, blazing a golden path across the lagoon. Up until now our visit to Iceland had delivered the sort of conditions we’d grimly acknowledged we would simply have to “work with,” but now we had some light to get excited about at last. Quite why I was shooting at f22, I really can’t say four years later. Perhaps I was in too much of a hurry to attach a filter in the days before I bought the magnetic ones that I can attach in no time at all. And here was the trade off between wanting to smooth out the water whilst not blurring the icebergs. At a second I seemed to be just about getting away with it. Three seconds and the blurring started to drop hints. But for many of those images taken here, I’d thoughtlessly aimed at thirty seconds. This, and the fact that we only passed here at midday three years later means I need to return to the glacier lagoon another time, this time at the right time, and opening the shutter for the right amount of time. Hopefully finding cleaner, simpler compositions amongst the icy debris. That’s a lot of things to get right. Seriously – f22? Still, it didn’t put me off having a go at reworking the image.
It seems strange that with so many images from last year’s visit to work on, I’ve found myself returning to the earlier 2019 trip a few times recently. A trip where we raced around in a hurry, seeing everything but seeing so little, barely able to get to grips with a location before moving onto the next one, which might have been a hundred miles or more away. Getting nowhere whatsoever when the clouds descended and hid everything from sight at two of the locations we’d been most excited about. I never felt I’d told the full story of that first visit to Iceland either. And I’m forever learning, trying to improve on the previous edit, hopefully getting somewhere even with such a cluttered scene as this. Will I still be unearthing images from the 2022 adventure in another four years’ time? Probably. Especially as I haven’t even started on so many of them yet. It’s like having a treasure chest that you can keep dipping into, finding images to shake out memories that need to written down, remembered and shared.
So I’ll carry on dusting off those older images, revisiting the raw files and seeing whether I’ve got any further forward in the editing process. After all, if there’s a golden glow over a lagoon full of icebergs to be worked on, it seems the obvious thing to do.

Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. About 53.5 square kilometres in area, it is about 25 km long and about 4.5 km wide at its widest. It is one of the world's relatively few tidal lakes, and among the largest. In Pitt Lake, there is on average a three foot tide range; thus Pitt Lake is separated from sea level and tidal waters during most hours of each day during the 15 foot tide cycle of the Pitt River and Strait of Georgia estuary immediately downstream.The lake's southern tip is 20 km upstream from The Pitt River confluence with the Fraser River and is 40 km east of Downtown Vancouver.
Pitt Lake is in a typical U-shaped glacial valley in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. The overdeepening of the lower end of the valley over the span of the Wisconsin glaciation created a trough over 140 m below current sea level. After initial glacial retreat at around 13,000 years ago a saltwater fjord occupied this basin when relative sea levels were still ca 120 to 140m above current levels in the region. Unlike neighbouring Indian Arm and Howe Sound farther west, this fjord basin became partly cut off from tidal waters by sedimentation of the lower Fraser River ca 10,500 years ago, and Pitt Lake is now considered a tidal fjord lake.
Pitt Lake is the second largest of a series of north-south oriented fjord-lakes incising the southern slopes of the Pacific Ranges, the largest being Harrison Lake located 60 km to the east. The other fjord-lakes include Coquitlam Lake, Alouette Lake, Stave Lake, and Chehalis Lake.
The Pitt River drains into the northern end of Pitt Lake. The western shore of Pitt Lake are protected within Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, while most of the eastern shore are protected within Golden Ears Provincial Park. The southern end of Pitt Lake features an extensive marshland called Pitt Polder. While most of this marshland has since been drained for agricultural use, the northernmost portion is strictly protected in order to provide critical habitat for migratory birds.
Communities
The community of Pitt Meadows and the First Nations reserve of Pitt Lake Indian Reserve 5 are located at the southern end of the lake. Just southwest of the lake is the community of Port Coquitlam, which is across the Pitt River from Pitt Meadows. At the north end of the lake is a locality named Alvin, which is a transport and shipping point for logging companies and their employees.

Although I have not yet visited Ukraine and therefore have no photos of this beautiful independent country, I want to acknowledge the tragic situation unfolding there before our horrified, distressed eyes and grieving hearts. Wishing this brave people so very much love and strength to endure and protect their country and their freedom! Celebrating the gold and blue colors of Ukraine with this photo. The gold of their wheat fields and the blue of their sky. Courage and peace to Ukraine!
And of course, I shall always celebrate the Florence I love so much, the birthplace of the Renaissance. It is a special cultural heart of Western Civilization - a civilization where respect for the freedom of the human spirit and the civil rights that protect this freedom are honored. Ukraine is fighting for the dignity and values of Western Civilization, for all of us!
This image serves as a call to action, urging us to acknowledge the existence of marginalized communities and their struggle for basic necessities. It prompts reflection on the systemic issues that perpetuate poverty and the need for collective efforts to create a more equitable world. While the girl's identity remains anonymous, her indomitable spirit shines through, leaving a lasting impact on those who encounter her gaze.

"Come." The voice whispered silently towards the passive listener.
"Closer." It beckoned.
The listener paused and just listened but made no efforts to move closer. Perhaps this was all it could allow itself to feel. This was safe, there was no requirement to cross that line. Satisfaction is better than plunging deeply into an unknown sea of depth. How would it be possible to recover if the feeling would be taken away?
"But what are you afraid of?" asked the voice.
"To be sucked of all I could feel and be left hollow and rotten."
"Oh, but it's impossible to be hollow. There will always be feeling, whether good or bad. It has to be acknowledged and not dismissed." The voice explained. "You have to embrace all your emotions and not shun one for the other. Accept the sadness, disappointments, heartbreaks and you will come to realize that it is part of what makes you grow into the beautiful flower that you are."
So. come feel. ;)

For the Month of January, we wanted to acknowledge these two wonderful creatures that are Hopey and Beanie. These two have been with us since the very beginning, constantly around for rp, reaching out to new players, welcoming everyone, making sure noone felt cast aside or ignored. They help out wherever possible, give input and advice when needed, and try their best to constantly be active in both our discord and inworld. Both of you are so appreciated, I am so happy i've gotten to know you both better, and I'm not surprised in the slightest that you both were chosen as this month's roleplayers of the month!

Jimmy is acknowledging me from the other side of the window glass. The crazy color patterning is due to a reflection of the trees across the street. The other pattern (behind him) is something we put up as a temporary window covering.
Understanding and acknowledging its existence is the pathway to Light
Remaining in Ignorance enables it
It is dark, it is ugly – it is vile
It is the devil’s playground
It is seductive
Only through shining a light on its existence . . .
Can humanity and our earth heal
Humanity is on the precipice
Let’s pray - Amen
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
–Isaiah 5:20
A PRAYER TO DEFEAT THE WORK OF SATAN
O Divine Eternal Father, in union with your Divine Son and the Holy Spirit, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg You to destroy the Power of your greatest enemy – the evil spirits. Cast them into the deepest recesses of hell and chain them there forever!
Take possession of your Kingdom which You have created and which is rightfully yours. Heavenly Father, give us the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I repeat this prayer out of pure love for You with every beat of my heart and with every breath I take.
Amen.
When we acknowledge that daylight is passing and sunset arrives in the truest of beauty a sense of peace overtakes us. The day was long and now we welcome a good nights rest in preparation for a new day. Gratitude and Kindness were a part of today and will be part of tomorrow’s sunrise.
Acknowledge what was.
Make peace with what has been.
Feel the cycle and the flow of the universe.
One deep breath in to hold.
Listen to your heartbeat.
Listen to your soul.
Exhale and release.

Lavenham in Suffolk is widely acknowledged as the best example of a medieval wool town in England.
In Tudor times, Lavenham was said to be the fourteenth wealthiest town in England, despite its small size. Its fine timber-framed buildings and beautiful church, built on the success of the wool trade, make it a fascinating place to explore today.
Although Lavenham goes back to Saxon times, it is best known as a medieval wool town. It was granted its market charter in 1257 and started exporting its famous blue broadcloth as far afield as Russia.
In the 14th century Edward III encouraged the English weaving industry and Lavenham began to prosper. However in the late 16th century Dutch refugees in Colchester began weaving a lighter, cheaper and more fashionable cloth and the woollen trade in Lavenham began to fail.
Most of the buildings in Lavenham today date from the 15th century, many of these were never altered due to the fall of the weaving industry. Consequently the town is still very much on the same scale as it must have been in the 15th century.
