being prepared balloon

* I made my annual pilgrimage to RSPB Bempton on Wednesday evening . It was unusual weather on the cliffs, warm and still instead of the usual chilly East wind . It obviously effected the birds the Gannets in particularly were flying much lower down the cliffs instead of being at eye level. It made flight shots much more difficult . I have to say I was not too concerned about getting too many images . I still have a lot of photos from Bempton in the archives from 2018, 2019 and 2020

This is one of the few I did take as I was using a long lens 500 mm I could not get it wide enough to catch all the Gannets wing . Stepping back to get a wider view would have been difficult Still I am quite happy with the result.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM. I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .

We have arrived home and being knackered as we are I guess it is nighty Night from us! Tomorrow is another day and I will start the long road of catching up with everyone :)

Because your heart loves who it chooses, without any doubt or reasoning...

The world is full of love that goes unspoken. It doesn’t mean that it is felt less deeply… its beauty and its pain are in its silence.

Why don't you stay

I'm down on my knees

I'm so tired of being lonely

Don't I give you what you need

When she calls you will go

There is one thing you should know

We don't have to live this way

Baby why don't you stay

then it's up to you to get the camera to see :-)

Being the national bird of Hungary, and capable of flying at speeds approaching 200mph I was delighted when this fabulous looking bird perched briefly to enable a few shots.

Many thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.

Despite being from the cactus family, the May flower does not have any thorns. It originates in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil and is scientifically known as schlumbergera truncata.

Its preferences are similar to orchids in terms of support. In its natural environment it prefers to use tree trunks as support. Therefore, this place is one of the best to keep your flower.

The name of this plant became popular due to its flowering, which takes place in May. However, it can be known in other ways depending on the region you are in. Thus, other common names are: silk flower, easter cactus for the southern hemisphere and christmas cactus for the northern hemisphere.

This flower fell in love with gardening enthusiasts because it is medium in size, has a huge variety of colors such as pink, pale yellow, red, orange and white, in addition to being very easy to grow.

The May flower reaches 30 cm in height, and can be kept in smaller pots with a diameter of 10 cm. Another curiosity is that if this plant is pollinated, it produces pink fruits with 1 to 2 cm when ripe.

***

This plant blooms in autumn, which in Brazil takes place between March and May. This time is close to Easter, which is also related to the flower. On the other hand, it can still bloom around Christmas in the Northern Hemisphere.

In this way, the May flower is linked to festivals that symbolize rebirth and life. Because it has many cheerful colors, it brings more liveliness to any environment in which it is, valuing any garden decoration around it.

The name silk flower is related to the soft and delicate texture of this flower. Therefore, these definitions are also among its meanings, offering more softness to the place where it is grown. That's why you can even stay in the plants to improve the energy of the house.

If offered as a gift, its symbolism indicates an attitude of pure and true feeling. It can also be used for declarations of love, representing the sincerity of the relationship.

A black man has a lot to be scared of,....still. I'm very white myself. This Chameleon is saying a prayer as he walks through the wrong neighbourhood and being observed very intensly. It's the end of the branch.

While talking to a friend about what to take for a photo, this is what came from that conversation..

Have you seen the film Being there with Peter Sellers? Watch it! Simple and profound comedy. It is one of those films that pop up in my mind from time to time. When I tried to do this image in black and white, it immediately took away from the sense of being there. And also, to me, it seems that something extraordinary is about to take place next in this image.

For Smile on Saturday... Light-opia.

... SO GLAD I did not go back into hotel when I came out in the dark and it was raining ... being up for sunset the day before, and the limited amount of night that occurs there in Alberta during the summer months, I really wanted to get some needed sleep.

But I realized that the whole reason for exploring Canada while on vacation was for seeing the amazing places there and under neat lighting conditions (sunrise and sunset).

Another view here of the amazing 2 minutes where this rainbow popped in over the Lake Moraine area at sunrise.

This may be the shot taken then that ends up on metal backing and hanging either at home or in my office at work. (hint for a XMAS for Mrs. Krach to get for me ;))

I want to have another beautiful summer day

For see the green of nature

I want to live a hot summer night

For see the moon being born from a passion

I wish I could rule the time

Candy sky and summer

I wish I could rule the Earth

to make a big heart of her

Yes, it's love and compassion

Not war and loneliness

Yes, it's love and compassion

The world and all it's beauty

The wind blows, the storm comes

That will wash me from all evil

With the clouds you can not see

The blue sky that's above us

And the lights that will come to light us

I want to have another beautiful summer day

For see the green of nature

I want to live a hot summer night

For see the moon being born from a passion

(my own translation from Bruno Mad - Dia de Verão/Summer day)

Not So Secret Garden

One of the greatest joys of travelling along the Lofoten islands besides its absolutely breathtaking nature and topography must be the many many MANY tunnels that links some of them or which lead the E10 through insuperable mountains. It became one of my pleasures to be at the ready with my cameras and shoot while we were inside. Soo much fun, especially since most of the time you are all by yourself, not a single other car at sight and where else does one have that pleasure?! :)

Happy Monochrome Monday!

I'm so used to being used

So I love when you call unexpected

'Cause I hate when the moment's expected

So I'ma care for you, you, you

I'ma care for you, you, you, you,

'Cause girl you're perfect

You're always worth it

And you deserve it

The way you work it

'Cause girl you earned it, yeah

Girl you earned it, yeah

💖 ♫ LISTEN ♫ 💖

It is with overwhelming sadness I am writing my last words for you my dear beautiful Angle Amber.

and you were there for me. The laughs, the smiles and how we took each day and made it shine.

💖 Be kind to each other and take good care of each other.

Sending out much love and huge hugs to you all 💖 Lori

You have to take a moment

to understand the pressure

some folks feel about being binary.

Darlene didn’t care to wear

bows in their hair

or fancy dresses to any formal party.

They mainly just wanted to roam around the town

and breathe fire all day.

We couldn’t really blame Darlene

after all, it looked quite fun-like play

Darlene seemed rather invigorated

because there were a lot of concepts

that really needed to be incinerated.

The church being constructed in 1523 or 1453, the dates differing according to the different opinions of people, was in the valley of Mraconia in a very delighted and beautiful sight, at a very hidden place (Mraconia means a place being hidden). It is known that during the russian-austriac-turkish battle (1787-1792) it was destroyed. In 1823 there was found the ruins along with a slavic proverb being written upon: "Peceat Manastirea Lubostinie Hram Uspenia Presvistaia Bogaraditi Leto 1735."

In 1931 it started the reconstruction of the monastery, however, everything having been reconstructed was stopped in 1967 by the water of the Portile de Fier I. After this the monastery did not get the chance to be reconstructed again. It became the monastery under water, Mraconia. In the year of 1993 the new stone of the new church was put in there, too. From the old monastery however it is still kept the old gate and some other minor parts being exhibited in a museum, Eselnita Iin Romania on the Danube Gorges (DN57 Orșova-Moravița)

“Being moody is as natural as mushrooms after the rain.”

― Bryan T. Lacie

Being confused between two, just fused them into one. Something completely new that I've done.

This young couple being photographed in the bluebonnets by their photographer. This patch is in front of a church. Have a wonderful new week.
