...that Someone Believes in the Goodness of People

Make it an Amazing Weekend, Friends !!

Hummingbirds are birds from the Americas that constitute the family Trochilidae. They are among the smallest of birds, most species measuring 7.5–13 cm (3–5 in) in length.

They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings which flap at high frequencies audible to humans. They hover in mid-air at rapid wing-flapping rates, which vary from around 12 beats per second in the largest species, to more than 80 in some of the smallest. Of those species that have been measured in wind tunnels, their top speed exceeds 15 m/s (54 km/h; 34 mph) and some species can dive at speeds in excess of 22 m/s (79 km/h; 49 mph).

Hummingbirds have the highest metabolism of any homeothermic animal. To conserve energy when food is scarce, and nightly when not foraging, they can go into torpor, a state similar to hibernation, slowing to 1/15th of its normal rate.

♪Everybody wants to be someone else

Everybody needs to be somewhere else

To fit right in, to be ordinary but not the same

To fit right in, to be ordinary, and never change

Everybody started so helpless

Everybody couldn't even, couldn't take what they needed

Whether they know it, whether they don't mind not knowing at all

Whether they know and forgot it, whether they don't mind not knowing at all

Everybody wants to be someone else

And everybody needs to be somewhere else

It's the way you look, the way you talk about things, the way you are

The way you look, the way you talk about things, the way you are

You've got a baby in your belly, baby kill it with fire

In our kingdom of convenience where we sing in the choir

This a conference of our failures, a union of regret

Where we bow beneath the worry for what hasn't happened yet

And all of this will come crashing down

To fit right in, to be ordinary but not the same

To fit right in, to be ordinary, and never change♫

Don't worry about a thing,

'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,

'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

(Bob Marley and the Wailers, Three Little Birds)

THEY may be widespread and rather nondescript, streaked brown bird, but I have a real affection for them, as a ground-dwelling species, it is quite approachable with care. Feeds on invertebrates as seen, a bit harder in the capture in the winter when they often form loose flocks.

The lime green flower of a Euphorbia Robbiae. It can be a skin irritant. Recently whilst trying to photograph some crocus next to this I leaned on my fist low to the ground and mmust have put it on a broken small euphorbia stem. Shortly afterwards my hand began to burn like ant bites all down my fingers and a welt formed across my knuckles. It took a while to realise what had caused it because Magoo doesn't see where he puts his hands. Better that than a fox plop I suppose...Squich! Oh no!! :^)

(I once put my hand in someone's pudding in a restaurant! LOL )

A little while ago I put up a photo of the Euphorbia bracts forming, you can now see above how the bracts have stood up and opened to the flowers. The photo is here...

Had a talk with my old man

Said, "Help me understand"

He said "Turn 68, oh, you'll re-negotiate"

"Don't stop this train"

Don't for a minute change the place you're in

And don't think I couldn't ever understand

I tried my hand

John, honestly we'll never stop this train"

Cause now I see, I'm never gonna stop this train

Never gonna stop this train.

Stop This Train - John Mayer / Where The Light Is (Live in Los Angeles), Cd 1 / (2008)

.....

I have always lived in houses, which were very close to the sea and also very close there was a railway line. I have always liked to see a train pass or hear its sound. When I was little and left school, we would go to the railways, close to home, to throw stones at the freight wagons of the freight trains that came down and brought salt from the Súria and Cardona mines, to be loaded onto ships in the port of Barcelona. In addition to throwing stones at it, we counted the number of wagons the locomotive was carrying. Possibly, this train loaded with salt, its schedule was around 1 noon and not at 2:10, like the song written by Albertano and sung with that special voice by Taj Mahal, whom I consider the best bluesman, with permission from B.B. King.

We spend a part of our childhood on the railroad tracks, between abandoned wagons and freight trains. And the port and the sea in summer. Unforgettable days.

There was a day, when several locomotives united, transported many wagons. We count more than a hundred. They seem like a lot to me, but the mind of a child, when he is a child, is a little messy. They talk and think in such a way that it seems they are a little crazy. But they are not. I don't know if it was really more than a hundred wagons that we counted. Possibly we miscounted. But that day... that day was a truly unforgettable "orgy" of stone throwing.

On this railway line, some people died who did not hear the locomotive arrive. And even some person committed suicide, stretched out on the tracks while the railroad came at full speed, without the possibility of stopping. While i'm listening to "Mystery Train" by The Neville Brothers, with this lilting rhythm, imitating the sound of a railway, I remember the kind locomotive driver, who when he saw us, he would sound the train's horn, say hello to us and reduce the speed of the locomotive, so that we had more time to throw stones. We were not hooligans. We were just... children playing .

Never let a train get away from you. And much less, those trains that suddenly appear and cross our lives. Get on all the trains you find, even if they are mysterious... because life is a mystery train, you never know where it will take you.

.....

Cause now I see, I'm never gonna stop this train

Never gonna stop this train.

Well I woke up this morning and the sun refused to shine.

Til I hear the 2:10 train.

Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes

Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye

There is nothing we can do

Knowing me, knowing you (ah-ha)

We just have to face it, this time

CAMINO DE LA GRANJA

Partiendo del Monasterio de La Santa Espina, aguas abajo del rio Bajoz, al pie de la carretera de San Cebrián de Mazote, discurre parte del del camino de la Granja. Camino que retorna al propio Monasterio. Su recorrido es de 8 km. y unas 2 horas de duración, de escasa dificultad, puede recorrerse durante todo el año.

La historia y tradición que impregna la edificación de la granja. Pudo ser posada para monjes enfermos, o bien residencia para el mayordomo de labranza y criados del convento), dan nombre a la ruta.

El sendero es de gran tranquilidad y Naturaleza en estado puro: En su recorrido se pueden ver corzo, zorros, conejos etc.. Mágicos y umbrías choperas que dejan entrever el Pueblo de la Santa Espina. Espeso monte sobrevolado por numerosas rapaces, los verdes valles del Bajoz y Sobravíos, dibujan un paisaje tapizado por sistemas de regadío de época de colonización: pozos, acequias, cigüeñales, algún estanque, fuentes naturales como la Fuente de La Marquesa.

El camino atesora vistas de gran belleza: la horizontalidad de paramo, llanura agreste contemplada desde el Chalet de Piedra (antigua casa del guarda) el Pueblo de la Santa Espina, el propio Monasterio y el monte que lo circunda, se divisan desde un recodo situado a los pies de la Cuesta de los Almendros, a modo de balcón.

A twisted Bristlecone pine looks to be upside down as it juts out of the terrain in the White Mountains.

While scouting around the mountainous regions around the Owens Valley, I made my way over to the Ancient Bristlecone Forest to take some photos and scout locations for later nightscape trips. I spent some of my time shooting the discovery trail and an extra hour here on this most unusual specimen of a tree. At over 4000 years old Its branches look to have been ripped from the ground and turned over and stuffed back in, as if its roots were reaching out to suck some moisture from the sky. From every angle this tree looks completely different and after an hour thought I had enough, but I'm finding that I need to make my way up there again during a moonrise with a sunset in the background or maybe some lightning behind would make for a very unique comp. As the day drew to a close I was lucky enough to have some stormy weather which I was lucky enough to have throughout the weekend and I actually did get some snowfall which is surprising for July!!! :)

Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!!

Have a great week ahead my friends!! :)

I may be on vacation (kinda, as I am still working during normal business hours for Eastern Time zone), but I am trying to keep some of the healthy habits. So for this past week, I did my usual 5K run in the morning. Yesterday though, the morning light was really gorgeous and there was absolutely no wind whatsoever. So I thought why not going to the lake for a few photos before heading our for the run. And I was rewarded by the view. I don't think I've seen Kaiafas lake more calm and I have been there countless times every summer. The absence of ripples made the water look completely still. Like a perfect mirror.
