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.

Болота, даже сама мысль о них, зачастую вызывают первобытный страх и порождают легенды и домыслы у людей. Они действительно таят в себе много удивительного — это невероятный простор, погружённый в звенящую тишину, красочный моховой покров, гордые одинокие сосенки и редкие почти прозрачные карликовые берёзки. Это мир, где небо и земля неразделимы, где в болотных зеркалах на водной глади причудливой формы видны те же облака и то же солнце. Я остановился у этого озера, выпуклая форма которого меня привлекла, выпить кофе, и в этот момент в очередной раз пошел дождь. Мне пришлось вместо термоса доставать из рюкзака дождевик, где-то внутри зрело раздражение: с рассветом не повезло, погода имеет некоторые возражения насчет съемки, и даже кофе не попить, когда захочется! Вот примерно с такими мыслями я раздраженно шелестел дождевиком, пока не услышал странный звук, который полностью поглотил мое внимание, и я даже не буду пытаться его описать. Я стоял и боялся пошевелиться, чтобы не упустить этот звук, который то усиливался, то почти пропадал. Это пел дождь и его микрофоном был тончайший лед на этом озере. Когда дождь закончился, то мне стало стыдно за свое раздражение.
Swamps, even the very thought of them, often evoke primitive fear and give rise to legends and speculation among people. They really contain a lot of amazing things - incredible space, immersed in ringing silence, colorful moss cover, proud lonely pines and rare almost transparent dwarf birches. This is a world where sky and earth are inseparable, where the same clouds and the same sun are visible in the swamp mirrors on the bizarrely shaped surface of the water. I stopped at this lake, whose bulge shape attracted me, to drink coffee, and at that moment it started to rain again. I had to take a raincoat out of my backpack instead of a thermos, somewhere inside I was irritated: I was unlucky with the dawn, the weather had some objections to shooting, and I couldn’t even drink coffee when I wanted! It was with these thoughts that I rustled my raincoat irritably until I heard a strange sound that completely absorbed my attention, and I won’t even try to describe it. I stood and was afraid to move, so as not to miss this sound, which either intensified or almost disappeared. It was the rain that sang and its microphone was the thinnest ice on this lake. When the rain stopped, I felt ashamed of my irritation.
People create their own questions because they are afraid to look straight, all you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't stand looking at it just walk.~ Ayn Rand.

My wife is. She will freeze on the spot at the sight of a six inch long dead earth worm on the path and dissolve into uncontrollable spasms and floods of tears. So she won't walk across to Castle Tioram. In fact she won't even look at the picture. So what is keeping my flickr friends from coming to this part of the world when they will so readily go to Skye and what for?

ps. seriously, join my fb group. it's awesome.
Thanks to everyone for visits , comments , awards and invitations, I appreciate your feed-back very much
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy
is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet,
alone with the heavens, nature and God.
Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.

Not all wildebeests migrate endlessly around the Serengeti. Some wander near Ngorgoro Crater, see the lush grasses and freshwater ponds and streams and only a small population of predators and say, "Hey, let's stay here! We don't havr to wander and be quaite as afraid of other animals trying to kill and eat us," and so some stay. But even in Tanzania's Garden of Eden they get selfish to dominate their clans and their territories, as this pair of males is doing. Old habits die hard. ©2019 John M. Hudson | jmhudson1.com
Hello everyone, I'm afraid it's not good news, Chip will be staying in overnight tonight and we can collect him in the morning.
He does have cancer and it has spread to his liver, The vets have told us we could have 3 months max but most probably it will be 6 weeks. We will make the right decision when the time is right.
He can't do beaches etc until after Christmas, nearer to New Year but when he can rest assured he will be. We've tried to give him the best life we possibly could and will continue to do so until we no longer can. He will be getting more treats, Chicken and his favourite, sausages cooked for him daily.
As you can imagine we are very upset and I don't really know what else to say. We would like to thank all the staff at Williams Veterinary Surgeons both in Cemmaes road and Tywyn, especially Amy who was happy for me to crumple in front of her today and showed me great kindness, thanks guys for doing everything you could.
Open that door to see what's behind it. Don't be afraid to try new things, give yourself this opportunity to try new things. Open your mind and see what happens...
I know this engine house has been photographed dozens of times before, but I'm afraid I find it irresistible. So I thought I'd try it from a different angle. This is the Towanroath Shaft engine house on the side of the cliffs in between St Agnes and Chapel Porth on the north coast of Cornwall. It is part of the Wheal Coates mine complex.
Earliest records indicate a mine at the site since 1692. The present mine opened in 1802 and came into full production in 1815. At the height of its production, 140 people were employed at the site to mine a seam of tin just below sea level. It closed for the first time in 1844 and was allowed by the owners to flood.
A new owner re-opened the mine in 1872 and built the Towanroath Shaft engine house to allow deep mining to commence. The engine house was used to pump water from the adjacent shaft which was 600 feet deep - well below sea level.
The mine closed again in 1889 when the price of tin fell. In 1906, new ownership hoped to work the mine for both tin and copper as Wheal Coates had produced a small amount of copper ore more than a century earlier. The period of operation from 1911-1913 was not very successful because tin production was sporadic and the mining boom was long gone. The mine closed for good in 1914.
Most of the mine buildings, which are Grade II-listed and from the 1870s, are on the top of the cliff out of shot. These, plus the Towanroath engine house, are preserved and maintained by the National Trust.

Location :Just Another Tequilla Sunrise, Isle of Love (162, 94, 24) - Moderate
I haven't seen the sunrise in several days, now, so I've been anxious to go regardless of the conditions. Today, I made it to Pittock Mansion to see a small fog layer behind the city. Soon after I arrived, a few photographers joined me to capture the sunrise. Unfortunately, a heavy fog layer rolled in from the North-East and blocked our view just before sunrise. I took this time to practice some other landscape shots until I finally found myself in the foggy forest. A short climb later I set up my tripod, wedged between 2 or 3 trees, and walked across the mossy log. By setting my camera on the time-lapse function, I was able to take photos every couple seconds while I got into position. I'll definitely have to try this spot out again when it's foggy enough.

Catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the world
Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around (Catch a wave, catch a wave)
Everybody tries it once
Those who don't just have to put it down
You paddle out turn around and raise
And baby that's all there is to the coastline craze
You gotta catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world
