Being Gay and 40+

It's not easy being 10... and 40... at the same time, in the same body.
Forty just wants to get her work done... meet her deadlines... pay the bills.
Ten... of course... wants to go out and play. It's a never ending struggle.
They both wanted to do this pic... In fact, they've wanted to do it for ages, but 40's been too busy working. They got some time to themselves this afternoon, and 10 totally insisted.
Then 40 started getting all bogged down in editing... trying to make the pic look better.
But 10 stepped in and said... We're running out of time! The sun's going down... the dog needs a walk... and we have a dinner to go to tonight.
So... yeah. Pretty messy. But hey. That's what you get when you trust these things to a 10-year old.
This species provides an example of sex role reversal with the females being more brightly coloured than the males. Females will also choose a male and then defend him against other females and when the chicks have arrived, the female scarpers and the male raises them on his own.
Thank you for taking a look at my images
Barra Lighthouse - Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. One of the most beautiful places in Salvador, Farol da Barra, despite not being shown here, is behind this image, but all this landscape is part of it. One of the most beautiful beaches and delicious water for a good bath, here we have a beautiful view of the outside area of the lighthouse, a place frequented by tourists and residents who, in addition to enjoying the beautiful landscape, enjoy a beautiful sunset, as well as rest. in the garden that surrounds the external area of the lighthouse.

Farol da Barra - Salvador, Bahia, Brasil. Um dos lugares mais bonitos de Salvador, o Farol da Barra, apesar de não ser mostrado aqui, está por trás dessa imagem, mas toda essa paisagem faz parte dela. Uma das praias mais bonitas e de água deliciosa para um bom banho, aqui temos uma bela vista da área externa do farol, local frequentado por turistas e moradores que, além de curtir a bela paisagem, curtem um lindo pôr do sol, bem como descansar no jardim que circunda a área externa do farol.
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.
While talking to a friend about what to take for a photo, this is what came from that conversation..

Being on vacation I had to use one of my parents feathers that they have kept. This one was a feather from a hawk that visits them often.
Happy MM

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!
Despite being tightly strapped down to the ground, this small aircraft didn't fare nearly as well as the seagulls during the storm! I think it was a total loss and I saw it being disassembled today.
Despite being the commonest woodpecker, I have seen fewer Great Spotted Woodpecker than Green being privileged to have the latter as a garden visitor, albeit, sadly, increasingly rare. This female, seen on a local walk, shows the lack of a crimson patch present on the back of the male's head.
After being at work from 6:15 am until 7:15 pm ... by the time I got home and ate a quick dinner, when I looked outside around 8 the sky looked like it could potentially be colorful. I debated whether to head out in a rush down to the river (about a 15 minute ride) ... and decided I needed to get a break from the stress of work and enjoy a few minutes of the day.
Was not disappointed with the colors ... here is a 10 second capture made with the 64ND (6 Stop) filter.
Interesting how by this time of the year the sun is setting way up river as opposed to beyond the end of the pier like it does in winter. Limits the compositions.

These are not spring blossoms - it's heather, which blooms in the winter here, as well as in summer.
Happy Valentine's Day to those who celebrate!

the city cast a shadow
from a fundament in grey
social standards race me higher
a serenade of dreams
I try to reach
a second hope seems to exist
now I've got to live with them forever
this is the sorrow that comforts me
dreams of torture hunt my sleep
I've never been so alone before
I've never been scared to dream until now
so I close my eyes
"Inside" - Pride and Fall
Being fascinated by headlands and what water can create, I found the Tolaga Bay headlands intersting for it's sharp cliff, with no real access to venture around it on foot.
... again,
go within yourself
find out who you are,
then you'll know what's real and what's not.

Being that it's Sliders Sunday, I took the pink peony to Topaz Studio where I lightly edited it by adding an effect and background texture. HSS!
Thank you for your views and comments, they're very much appreciated. Have a great day!
I recently learned that ravens can apparently change the position of their head feathers at will, which significantly changes their appearance. Imagine if you could change your hairstyle instantaneously according to your mood!
I believe I can recognize this raven between different visits because he's the most flamboyant one and often wears this lion's mane. I also believe he's the dancer in Dance of the Raven.
