Australian Magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen)
It is that time of the year here in Oz when the Maggies start to swoop anyone they see as a threat to their nest/chicks.
This image has been posted before but it is one of my all time faves and I wanted to add it to the recently created Australian Magpies Group www.flickr.com/groups/14832839@N23/ .

Will be catching up w/ you all tonight :)
Some people stand in the darkness
Afraid to step into the light
Some people need to help somebody
When the edge of surrenders in sight
Don't you worry
It's gonna be alright
Cause I'm always ready
I won't let you out of my sight
I'll be ready
Never you fear
No don't you fear
I'll be ready
Forever and always
I'm always here
Well, I've been re-watching the old series of Baywatch recently. A sweet journey back to my childhood, so the theme song came as obvious choice for this picture :)
Feel free to judge dear friend, I will not be offended! We all have guilty pleasures :)
Btw. How cool are lifeguards!!!!
Wishing you all a very happy Sunday :)

Gephyrophobia is the anxiety disorder or specific phobia characterised by the fear of bridges and tunnels. As a result, sufferers of gephyrophobia may avoid routes that will take them over bridges or through tunnels. The term gephyrophobia comes from the Greek γέφυρα (gephura), meaning "bridge".
Considering the possibilities for crime in city tunnels and underpasses I suppose the fear is not entirely irrational.

And now, back to our regular scheduled programming...

A bird is never afraid that the branch beneath if might break. Not because it trust the branch but because it trusts its own wings.

Your mind can never change
Unless you ask it to
Lovingly re-arrange
The thoughts that make you blue
The things that bring you down
And so make your choice joy
The joy belongs to you

I hear you laughing at me with the echoes right behind me
I feel the air around me and your gaze upon my body
You look at me as if we are not the same
I try to run away like a bullet train
I turn around to find that there is nowhere I can hide
I wish I could reply but I don't have the heart to try
I think I'm gonna cry but I keep pushing it inside
I stand there in the light as you dissect me with your eyes
What am I made of
That you're afraid of?
Am I contagious?
I wanna wake up
It's been a couple hours and the food is turning sour
Your voice is getting louder but you're looking like a coward
You think that all I need is some clarity
You wanna try and put me in therapy
But don't you think I've tried to sterilize my thoughts inside
I've prayed a million times and cried myself to sleep at night
But maybe you're not right and we're just different by design
'Cause how can you decide who I can love and lay beside?
Don’t Be Afraid to Be Different

Had a delightful afternoon watching this newcomer check-out my garden. He darted from tree to tree looking for a bite to eat.
I’m hopeful someone can identify this pretty boy so I can look him up. He seems to hangout with the Lesser Gold Finches that frequent my yard.
Thank You, NJKent, for identifying this Yellow-rumped Warbler.

At the start of lockdown, feeling afraid to go into shops, hating the idea of wearing masks, Ray took out an online subscription to his favourite newspaper. Over 2 years later, no actual newspaper has entered our house as he reads the paper on his iPad, beginning alongside the first cuppa of the day. I hate tablets and the last thing I would do is read anything of length on one, thus I am now less than ever au fait with current events.
Recently, Ray and friends were discussing the current Conservative leadership contest when I asked' Who IS this chap Truss?" then wondered why they all fell about laughing..
Give me a beautiful French novel to read any day and if I'm labelled eccentric, it bothers me not.
Be afraid of

Die Uferhallen sind seit 2007 zu einem festen Bestandteil der Berliner Kulturszene geworden und beherbergen neben Ateliers und Atelierwohnungen auch Tanz- und Proberäume, Tonstudios, eine Konzert- und eine Ausstellungshalle, Werkstätten, Gastronomie und vielseitige Veranstaltungsräume. Hier leben und arbeiten mehr als 150 Menschen, die sich nun um eine angemessene Verlängerung ihrer Mietverhältnisse bemühen.
The Uferhallen have become an integral part of the Berlin cultural scene since 2007 and, in addition to studios and studio apartments, also dance and rehearsal rooms, recording studios, a concert hall and an exhibition hall, workshops, restaurants and a variety of event rooms. More than 150 people live and work here and are now trying to get their tenancies extended appropriately.
Our lives are full of decisions that lead us down such paths. Paths where it is impossible to predict where they will lead us.
Of course, we usually have a wish as to where we would like to end up. And we usually have a fear in our luggage. The fear that the path will lead us to a place we cannot handle.
Both are completely normal. Because where knowledge is lacking, imagination sets in. It's always been that way. And so it's completely okay if we're afraid of the unknown. This fear is a protective mechanism that increases our awareness and ensures that we pay attention to where we place our feet. Something that makes us slow down but minimizes the risk of accidents.
So when you find yourself on the path into the unknown, not only accept your wishes and visions, but also your fears.
In the end we always get somewhere. And in my experience, it's rarely the place we want and never the place we're most afraid of. So take the first step and let yourself be surprised.
Unser Leben ist voll von Entscheidungen, die uns auf solche Wege führen. Wege, bei denen es nicht absehbar ist, wohin sie uns leiten.
Sicherlich haben wir meist einen Wunsch, wo wir am Ende landen möchten. Und wir haben meist auch eine Angst mit im Reisegepäck. Die Angst, daß der Weg uns an einen Ort führt, mit dem wir nicht umgehen können.
Beides ist völlig normal. Denn wo das Wissen fehlt setzt die Fantasie ein. Das war schon immer so. Und so ist es auch völlig in Ordnung, wenn wir Angst vor dem Unbekannten haben. Diese Angst ist ein Schutzmechanismus, der unsere Aufmerksamkeit erhöht und dafür sorgt, dass wir darauf achten, wohin wir unsere Füße stellen. Etwas, was uns zwar langsamer werden lässt, jedoch die Unfallgefahr minimiert.
Also nehmt nicht nur Eure Wünsche und Visionen an, wenn Ihr mal wieder auf dem Weg ins Ungewisse seid, sondern auch Eure Ängst.
Schlußendlich kommen wir immer irgendwo an. Und nach meiner Erfahrung ist es selten der Ort den wir uns wünschen und nie der Ort vor dem wir am meisten Angst hatten. Also macht den ersten Schritt und lasst Euch überraschen.
