This shot came from the same pier as the previous shot but a few hours earlier. The moment had me thinking of characters in movies who say to "Just sit and the answer will come to you." The question was of course what to photograph when the light was not right for what I wanted. So I sat and at my foot was this outgrowth of something, likely a weed. My mother-in-law used to say, "if it does not belong there it is likely a weed."
The blonde color of the item contrasted with the dark wood. And, it shone brightly as the low rays of the sun painted it on the dark canvas of wood. All I had to do was compose the image and my subject would stand out. So I reversed the leading lines and created a triangle that might lead the viewers eyes back to my little subject. The one that was sitting right beside me when I sat down to find an opportunity. I guess those really are all around us, we just need to take a moment to see them.
"Ginkgo Biloba
Dieses Baumes Blatt, der von Osten
Meinem Garten anvertraut,
Gibt geheimen Sinn zu kosten,
Wie's den Wissenden erbaut.
Ist es ein lebendig Wesen,
Das sich in sich selbst getrennt?
Sind es zwei, die sich erlesen,
Dass man sie als eines kennt?
Solche Fragen zu erwidern
Fand ich wohl den rechten Sinn.
Fühlst du nicht an meinen Liedern,
Dass ich eins und doppelt bin ?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1815
(1749 - 1832)"
This leaf from a tree in the East,
Has been given to my garden.
It reveals a certain secret,
Which pleases me and thoughtful people.
Does it represent One living creature
Which has divided itself?
Or are these Two, which have decided,
That they should be as One?
To reply to such a Question,
I found the right answer:
Do you notice in my songs and verses
That I am One and Two?
If it is a miracle any sort of evidence will answer, but if it is a fact, proof is necessary.
Mark Twain

“There is a LIGHT in this world. A healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometime lose sight of this force when there is suffering, and too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways.”
― Richard Attenborough
“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.”
-Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
This post is dedicated to the memory of my brother, Art. There is not a day that goes by that I don't remember my brother, but lately for some reason, I've been thinking of him even more. I miss my brother and love him just as much as the day he left us. Art suffered severe depression...

Answers on a post card if you know where ? I do remember the day so well and another reason to hang on to photo's... When we were getting my gear from out of the car I sipped over but as is always the case I think more of my camera and its safety than my own. It didn't help that the more I tried to get to my feet the more impossible it became. My husband and I were in stitches because I was on sheet ice lightly covered with snow and just kept slithering around in the same spot. I eventually got on to my knees and crawled to where I could get to my feet. My mind just remembers the name Goyt Valley so I'm hoping my brain hasn't got completely to pot yet :) Sue ...
No answers in that wind other than it was probably a mite chilly.
Hope everyone is off to good start to their week! Take care and continue to stay safe out there!
This elephant at the Rochester Seneca Park Zoo made it a point to come over and look at me when I walked by to take her photo.
When we pray, God hears more than we say, answers more than we ask, gives more than we imagine in His own time and in His own way.
This plane was built with ores that came from the earth. Slowly the smelted metals are breaking down and being re-absorbed into Mother Earth. 73 years it has survived here, so far. The white shiny metals in the background are mostly as shiny, almost mirror like, as the day they were made, the rest is breaking down just like rusting is dissolving into grains as you can see bottom left of the picture.
There are parts big and small scattered over a large area. The remaining big chunks are the undercarriage and the engines. But there are sections of 'skin' metal I found hundreds of yards to the north. They might have been carried by souvenir hunters, and put down when they got fed up carrying them, but those I saw I suspected were blown there by the wild winds that I'm sure will frequently blast the top of Bleaklow. But if someone wants a challenge, see if you can identify what part of the aircraft this is. This might help you www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=ueBW5vp... But not much! PS. I don't have the answer!

Not having visited the CN Champaign Sub in some time, I was beginning to wonder if IC SD70s were still a "thing" on A408s between Kirk Yard in Gary, IN and Centralia, IL. The answer runs south through Humbolt, IL behind IC #1024 and 1027, albeit a little later in the day than I'm used to seeing. Whereas A408s have typically departed Champaign well before sunrise, this one is obviously many hours behind that schedule, much to my benefit.
CN's heritage plan rolls on.
Just for fun...
I'm not ready yet for Pink Themed Tuesday because still no idea for a Little Fairy and
I will try its fun.. :D
Please no large glittery graphics or big group invites!
As usual my friends give me some comments or advice for this 1st time capture..
Have a nice day everyone! Hopefully y'all love this shot :D

HOODED MERGANSER (Lophodytes cucullatus)
Hooded Mergansers are the second smallest species of merganser, with only the Smew of Europe and Asia being smaller.
The Hooded Merganser is a sea duck, being able to dive for fish and staying underwater for some time and using its sawbill to catch and grip the fish.
Hooded Mergansers are short-distance migrants, wintering in the United States wherever temperatures allow for ice-free conditions on ponds, lakes and rivers.
Les Deux Frères face au Cap Sicié - Les Deux Frères sont deux rochers émergeant à la pointe du Cap Sicié (Var, France) et visibles depuis la plage des Sablettes à La Seyne-sur-Mer. C'est un lieu qui accueille de nombreux plaisanciers ainsi que des clubs de plongée dont l'objectif est la visite d'une épave située à proximité immédiate.
La légende locale raconte que deux frères trouvèrent un soir une sirène blessée sur la plage. Ils la soignèrent et tombèrent éperdument amoureux et dans leur folie, ils s’entre-tuèrent. La sirène, avant de regagner les flots, supplia Poséidon de leur laisser une forme apparente en souvenir de leur passion. Le dieu de la mer y dressa les deux rocs.
Le mythe des Deux Frères a donné lieu à d’autres interprétations. L’une d’entre elles, parle de deux frères pêcheurs inséparables, jusqu’à ce qu’une sirène ne séduise le plus jeune des deux et l’attire au fond de l’eau. L’aîné, tentant de le sauver, trouva lui aussi la mort ne pouvant résister au charme de la créature marine. Pendant son agonie, il supplia Apollon (pourquoi Apollon ?) de leur laisser la vie sauve et de les rendre à jamais inséparables. C’est ainsi qu’ils se virent transformés en deux roches jumelles au large du Cap Sicié.
La légende raconte aussi qu’une pieuvre géante dévore les visiteurs imprudents ! Dans les années 60, il se disait même que les autorités avaient érigé un grillage autour de l’îlot afin d’éviter la mort aux plongeurs trop curieux.
Les deux Frères (The Two Brothers) facing Cap Sicié - The Two Brothers are two rocks emerging at the tip of Cap Sicié (Var, France) and visible from the Sablettes beach in La Seyne-sur-Mer. It is a place that welcomes many boaters as well as diving clubs whose objective is to visit a wreck located in the immediate vicinity.
The myth of “Les Deux Frères” has given rise to various interpretations. One of them speaks of two fishermen brothers who were inseparable until a mermaid seduced the youngest and lured him down into the depths of the sea. In an attempt to save him, his elder was also dragged to his death, unable to resist the charm of the sea creature. During his agonising final minutes, he begged the god Apollo to save them and ensure they were forever together. And that is how they came to be transformed into two rocks located offshore of Cape Sicié.
The second myth evokes an injured mermaid washed up on the beach, whom the two sailors tried to save. But as misfortune would have it, they both fell madly in love with her and fought to the death. When the mermaid swam back out to sea, she begged Poseidon to bless them with a visible and immutable form in memory of their shared passion. The god of seas and oceans answered her wish by transforming the two unfortunate sailors into two rocks.
Legend tells also that a giant octopus devours careless visitors… In the Sixties, it was even said that the authorities erected a fence around the little island to avoid overly-curious divers meeting their demise.

The reason for our recent trip to Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee…the Western Cottonmouth. Reelfoot is pretty famous in our part of the world for three main reasons: Amazing fishing (winter and spring only…it sucks in August), and the largest concentration of Bald eagles and cottonmouths in the Eastern USA.
I have been wanting to go back to Reelfoot to photograph the cottonmouths for many years now. This week my brother Gus and I made the 9-hour roundtrip drive and were blessed with two separate encounters. In this shot, we fired up the trolling motor and cruised alongside this beautiful adult viper.
I guess one's answered prayer can be another’s nightmare.

[This is the fourth photo of the Magic Beach "series"]
In case you are wondering, the answer to your unspoken question is NO 😊 I haven't touched those small pebbles. They were left there by Mother Nature (i.e., the sea). I just had to touch the trigger release button...
These photos came as a big surprise to me. I had been at this beach a couple of years ago. This time, the idea was once again to shoot sunset, with the golden light bathing the peaks of the mountains standing on the other side of the fjord.
But, once I noticed some curious rocks and closed in on them, the landscape/seascape planned shots were immediately forgotten.

Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several days later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs jours après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.
France. Bretagne. Morbihan (56). Presqu'île de Quiberon. Côte Sauvage (sur la côte ouest).
Cette photo a été prise depuis les falaises situées juste au sud de la Plage de Porh Pri et de l'Arche de Port Blanc.
Heure de la prise : 14h47 (Pleine Mer 13h18, Basser Mer 19h12).
Pour ma 5ème photo de Quiberon, j'ai enfin choisi une photo prise en pleine journée, sans zoom, avec l'horizon et du ciel bleu. 😉
Sur la droite se trouvent :
o L'Arche de Port Blanc de profil (je la montrerai de face 1 jour),
o La petite Plage de Porh Pri presque recouverte par la mer.
Les falaises situées à droite de l'Arche présentent d'importantes fissures qui se sont aggravées récemment, d'où un fort risque de chute de roches. Un arrêté municipal a donc été pris en janvier 2020 interdisant l'accès à la plage de Porh Pri et aux falaises aux abords de l'Arche.
Mais nous avons vu 2 personnes différentes et inconscientes venir piétiner ces falaises jusqu'à leur bord !...
Et lorsque la mer est basse, la plage est bondée et les gens se massent devant l'Arche, exactement là où des morceaux de roches pourraient tomber !...
Sinon, dans le fond, on voit la Pointe du Percho, surmontée d'une petite maison en ruine, qui est surnommée "Maison des Douaniers". Et derrière au loin, se trouve l'île de Groix.
