This is a photo of a Roseate Spoonbill flying over its Rookery. The Roseate Spoonbills were gathering sticks for nests and establishing nesting territories! The island had many yellow Sunflowers on it, which made for some beautiful backgrounds!! Thanks for looking and we will see everyone after the Holiday weekend!

The Tamaracks are acknowledging the season in glorious colour now, our forests are dripping with gold. They have turned a bit later than usual - all the other trees have already dropped their leaves on the ground save for a stubborn few.
This particular Tamarack is in our backyard ... we transplanted it about 10 years ago and it is thriving in its new location. My American friends may know the tree by another name - the Eastern or Black Larch.
Sweet little float home appeared to be floating on cloud reflections. Painted in a barn red colour and sitting pretty with its own private dock and water transportation.

Terrace Falls are located near Lawson and Hazelbrook, small towns approximately 90 kilometers (1.5 hour drive) from Sydney.
Falls are accessible by the short 800 meter walk from the bottom of Terrace Falls Road, or from the other side, Valley Road Hazelbrook. There are now gates on both sides to
stop the dickheads that either dump cars or rip up the unsealed fire trail
The walking track starts approximately half way between these two gated. There are two entry points along the track and it just depends from which Road you access it from.
The track itself is a beautiful example of temperate rainforest with many flowering native mountain plants, fungi, birds and sunning reptiles. Don't forget to look out for the colourful freshwater crustacean, locally known as the yabbie!!!
This walk has come rather rich and lush moss and lichens, not to mention the wonderful tree ferns!
Take your time and scamper up and down rocks, stop, listen and just chill to experience a true Blue Mountains experience!!! You might even get lucky as I did and witness the majestic Lyrebird.

"Haka is a ceremonial dance in Māori culture. It is often performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted or chanted accompaniment. Although popularly associated with the traditional battle preparations of male warriors, haka have been traditionally performed by both men and women and for a variety of social functions within Māori culture. Haka are performed to welcome distinguished guests, or to acknowledge great achievements, occasions, or funerals."
The Prague Castle is one of the most important UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Czech Republic.
Old cathedrals and churches, historic towers and gatehouses, as well as splendid royal palaces and their gardens could be observed by visitors.
The Prague Casthe is widely acknowledged by the Guinness Book of Records as the largest ancient castle in the world - it measures 570 meters in length and averages 130 meters in width.
The views over the Vltava river and the Charles Bridge are magnificent, together with the old city of Prague.
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.

Marpissa muscosa is a species of jumping spider.
Marpissa muscosa, female.
On average, females have body length ranging from 7.5–14mm, whereas males have a body length ranging from 6–8.1mm. Both sexes are coloured grey to brown. The whole spider has a furry appearance and is flattened in shape.
The species builds a kind of nest under the bark of dead trees. Up to 100 of these nests can occur side by side. As other species of Marpissa spiders, it demonstrates a social hierarchy: weaker animals will acknowledge their inferiority by strutting their front legs and slowly retreating from the scene. Early environmental conditions shape personality types in the developing spiders.
The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude :-)

The intelligence of Crows is well-acknowledged. I have often observed a "murder" of crows seemingly working cooperatively. It often seems that one or more of them acts as a sentinel, loudly proclaiming when a potential danger is near (like mistakenly taking me as danger when I raise my camera). As the crow "caws" loudly, other crows nearby in the trees respond. Those on the ground feeding then take flight. Maybe I am reading too much into this observation, but it has happened often.

Point Roberts is a pene-exclave of the United States on the southernmost tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, south of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The area, which had a population of 1,314 at the 2010 census, is reached by land by traveling 25 mi (40 km) through Canada. It is a census-designated place (CDP) in Whatcom County, Washington with a post office, and a ZIP Code of 98281. Direct sea and air connections with the U.S. are available across Boundary Bay.
Point Roberts was created when the United Kingdom and the United States settled the Pacific Northwest American-Canadian border dispute in the mid-19th century with the Oregon Treaty. Both parties agreed the 49th parallel would delineate both countries' territories, but they overlooked the small area that incorporates Point Roberts (south of the 49th parallel). Questions about ceding the territory to the United Kingdom and later to Canada have been raised since its creation but its status has remained unchanged.

The sun's last rays, before slipping behind the mountain
The Pitt River in British Columbia, Canada is a large tributary of the Fraser River, entering it a few miles upstream from New Westminster and about 25 km ESE of Downtown Vancouver. The river, which begins in the Garibaldi Ranges of the Coast Mountains, is in two sections above and below Pitt Lake and flows on a generally southernly course. Pitt Lake and the lower Pitt River are tidal in nature as the Fraser's mouth is only a few miles downstream from their confluence.
The river was named for William Pitt the Younger. The first mention of the name, as "Pitts River", occurs in the 1827 journal kept by James McMillan of the Hudson's Bay Company.

I have never leaned on anyone
I have stood strong in myself and in my being
And been growing as a human being
And why haven't I leaned on anyone, well
Because my surroundings have been like it has been from the very start
The Viking Queen was born from day one
Acknowledging the fact that I can be my own cliff has been important for me and how I have dealt with things
Being aware of that I am my own cliff is also an important thing for my own growth
We often act and do things without thinking, was this a good thing or what
You will find respect for yourself if you dwell a bit and look within and find the resources you actually have
But realizing that others 'out there' also can be a Cliff in my life is pretty awesome
Two Cliffs may become one
How cool isn't that
Staying strong is a different experience when you are more than one, I would think
I have never experienced that before
Often we don't even realize that we have Cliffs in our lives
I cherish what I have and look forward to the future cliff 'out there'

"Solidão is a Portuguese term meaning loneliness or abandonment. It is an emotion experienced by many people and can take various forms, such as emotional distance, lack of social connections, and feelings of isolation. It is important to acknowledge that solitude is a human experience and that support and help is available for those who are dealing with it. It is also important to seek connection and community with others, which can alleviate the effects of solitude."
by my dear friend Ben The Man
A species of small bullfrogs has been in abundance on my North Carolina property this summer. While similar in appearance, they all have distinct personalities.
Some will shriek and swim away when I get near the water but a few will stay put or even swim toward me. I talk to them in a soft musical voice while making eye contact. Though not understanding language, these frogs respond to intent embodied within tonalities and are comfortable being photographed at close range and sometimes seem to enjoy it. I sense they comprehend at some level that they are being appreciated and have my undivided attention.
On the occasion captured in this photo, a frog who always sought my company swam quickly away as I approached the water, which surprised me. Suddenly it pivoted, mounted a bed of algae and quickly bounded back in my direction, stopping 18 inches away and assuming this pose.
Simple creatures have far more awareness than science acknowledges. The secret is knowing how to connect with it.

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.

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!”

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.

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.
