Hello there,

 

It was slim pickings for finding dragonflies this year because many local streambeds and ponds had very little or no water because of the drought. I love dragonflies so I was delighted to spot this meadowhawk in a local park.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving a comment. I do love hearing from you!

 

Have a wonderful day!

FAMILIAR SPECIES, but still in heavy decline, familiar because of its affinity for human habitations, found in small groups, can become remarkably tame. A constant source of entertainment on the trees and feeders around the cottage!

CRAZY MILD WEATHER ! look at the buds on its perch in December !

THANK YOU for your visit, and kind comments , much appreciated indeed. Enjoy the weekend my dear friends, Stay safe, God bless .................Tomx

Because when you stop and look around, this life is pretty amazing.

Because Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. And it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before you may be guided, of what you are taking!

 

Just love these cool graffiti street artists, when they come around the Custard Factory of Digbeth and put up new artwork!

 

Many thanks for your cool comments here, my flickr friends !!!

A visit to The Midland Air Museum, which is just based outside Coventry and where there is a unique aeronautical collection of old military aircraft's. And it was rather cool to get inside and sit down in a Pilot's cockpit seat of an old military helicopter; I was amazed just how tight it was to get inside this cockpit and then amused with all the control panels in front of it me.

 

Just a bit of creative fun, with my fisheye lens here!

 

Many thanks for your cool comments and compliments from you here, my flickr friends !!!

 

There goes my heart beating

Because you are the reason

I'm losing my sleep

Please come back now

 

There goes my mind racing

And you are the reason

That I'm still breathing

I'm hopeless now

 

I'd climb every mountain

And swim every ocean

Just to be with you

And fix what I've broken

Oh, because I need you to see

That you are the reason

 

There goes my hands shaking

Because you are the reason

My heart keeps bleeding

And I need you now

 

If I could turn back the clock

I'd make sure the light defeated the dark

I'd spend every hour, of every day

Keeping you safe

 

I'd climb every mountain

And swim every ocean

Just to be with you

And fix what I've broken

Oh, because I need you to see

That you are the reason

You are the reason

Yeah, yeah...

 

I'd climb every mountain.

And swim every ocean

Just to be with you

And fix what I've broken

Oh, because I need you to see

Because of the government shutdown in early October 2013, we could not visit the Great Sand Dunes National Park. So unfortunately remained just the view from a distance (from the Great Sand Dunes Lodge) with a telephoto lens.

 

Wegen des Government shutdown Anfang Oktober 2013 konnten wir den Great Sand Dunes National Park nicht besuchen. So blieb leider nur der Blick aus der Ferne (von der Great Sand Dunes Lodge aus) mit dem Teleobjektiv.

Never take your most important decisions when you are in bad mood.

Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.

The sun will shine again.

It's a good thing foil came up as a theme for Macro Mondays because now I have a reason for keeping a bag of multicolored foil bits! Perhaps they'll make it into ice cubes some day but for now it's a foil abstract.

The song

Weil's schon so lange her ist: Mal wieder ein Waldfoto. - Because it has been quite a while: Just another forest picture. (Quite fascinated by Lightroom tools to lighten up areas of a pic.)

Because you can't take a trip to Australia without shooting this.

I gaze into the doorway of temptations angry flame

And every time I pass that way I always hear my name

Then onward in my journey I come to understand

That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand

--

I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea

Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, sometimes it's only me.

I'm hanging in the balance of the reality of man

Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.

🎶 DIDO - JUST BECAUSE

  

We are, we are living our dream, we are

Singing our song, we are, just because

We know, we know, we're carrying on, we'll be

Chasing the things we love, just because

You are the sun, happy out here alone

 

You don't need to feel it all

Just sing your song

Sing your song

 

Just sing your song

Just sing your song

Just sing your song

because the lobster rolls here were so delicous! HFF!

If you never had friends...

you never lived life....

A happy Eagle? Why yes, because this mature Bald Eagle just caught a fish in Kachemak Bay, but if you could read into the facial expression, I would say heavens no. But that's the issue with eagles, you can't tell anything from their expression!

Because I was feeding the Ducks.

And not him and is family.

Because I'd just climbed over it. I was having a really weird and unpleasant day health-wise and hadn't intended to take a photograph at all, but saw this and nipped over the fence on the track to a farm building and snapped it with my phone. Then I painted it, of course ! Things are a bit better now, so here we are !

A bit late for Fence Friday but never mind, there are no fences in my picture LOL. Happy Fence Friday and all the days ahead everyone !

Many thanks for your visits and comments, faves etc. I would prefer not to receive multiple invites - thank you !

#InternationalWomensDay

#March8

 

Not a ladybird which might have been a slightly more appropriate "supermodel" for International Women's Day because of its name, but an equally pretty Cryptocephalus bipunctatus. The whole supermodel thing is a relic of the past anyway, but unfortunately, we still haven't freed ourselves from questionable beauty "ideals" that often come across as beauty dictates. Social media and "influencers" don't make it any easier, especially not for the younger generation that is exposed (and exposes itself) to what one might call the "daily dose of beauty brainwash", recently taken to the next level with the all-new "beauty filters".

 

In Berlin (and in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, one of Germany's Northern federal states), March 8 is an official holiday, but not (yet?) in the other 14 of our 16 federal states. So this Wednesday – where all shops, schools, etc. are closed (and the weather is too ghastly to go outside – winter made a snowy-wet, cold reappearance) – feels like a very quiet, lazy Sunday, and I have too much time for writing rants instead of simply letting you enjoy this adorable, brightly orange beetle, a member of the so-called "Fallkäfer" (Cryptocephalinae) subfamily of the leaf beetle family. The name "Fallkäfer" (a beetle that falls or drops) derives from their distinctive habit of dropping abruptly when disturbed. This image also is a true oldie, I've taken it back in June 2017 at the beautiful public park Britzer Garten. The focus is ever so slightly off and more on the plant than on the beetle itself, but I think it's still sharp enough in general.

 

Wishing all of my female Flickr friends a Happy International Women's Day!

Never really scared to show you what I feel inside

Everything laid out on the table, baby, you and I

I find myself living it up, making this dream come true

Everything I see in my head is all because of you, you
