A bit of rain falls from a majestic cloud at the Mogollon Rim.
BTW here's my gallery on the pandemic: www.flickr.com/photos/pagedooley/galleries/72157713560199...
A bit late for the holiday season, but presented in the spirit of Santa. A weather-worn Limber Pine anchored in granite clings to the slopes of Grassy Top, with the afternoon sun warming its trunk. I'm not sure of the age of the older trees on this slope, but based on nearby trees that I've cored I'd guess this individual might be a bit over 300 years old.
A bit of a Mary Poppins type shot here but instead of the rooftops of London it is the rooftops of St Ives. I have shot this view from the passenger seat through the open passenger car door window many times. It is a well known beautiful view whenever you are taking the outbound road from St Ives towards Carbis Bay. On this particular day I was stretching my neck as usual to 'grab ' a shot when Jonathan spotted a gap on the road and pulled in and parked for just a couple of minutes. I was enchanted by the little garden foreground left, that being below the view from the car window I had never spotted before and was enchanted by both that and the wonderful view from that vantage point…..
St Ives is a town in Cornwall, England, known for its surf beaches, like Porthmeor, and its art scene. The seafront Tate St Ives gallery has rotating modern art exhibitions, focusing on British artists. Nearby, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, in the modernist artist’s former studio, displays her bronzes and other works. Boat trips go to Seal Island, just west of town, to see the seal colony….
The large Tower belongs to St Ia's Church, St Ives, is a parish church in the Church of England in St Ives, Cornwall, UK. It is dedicated to Ia of Cornwall, a 5th- or 6th-century Irish saint, and is a Grade I listed building..
Bit distant again so a fairly large crop.
Many thanks for your comments and faves. Always appreciated.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. His bag says "Doing Our Bit" in relation to recycling I imagine but it is a suitable title for the pandemic too as both my subject and I are wearing masks here. A 'thank you' was shared between us both after I took this. Enjoy!
The last little bit of color as winter takes hold. The colors were enhanced by the rain, which made a lovely picture in an otherwise pretty ordinary view from a window. 20171216WestLakeHillsDxoLr1

Something a bit strange for a Hallowe'en upload - there were numerous examples of this variety of fungi in the conifer woodland, but I spotted one that was strongly backlit by the morning sun, giving it a beautiful orange 'glow' through the translucent body. If anyone knows the ID of this please let me know, it was about 3 cm tall.
Given the Beauty of this Flower and its Visitor, clearly the Devil lost! The ancient story goes that the vernacular name of Succisella inflexa, Southern Devil's Bit (Morsus diaboli), goes back on the enmity between the Devil and Beneficial Nature. Our Scabious once in the dawn of humanity was a Heal-All, much to the dismay of the Devil who sought only anguish for humankind. Out of pure spite he bit off the main part of Scabious's root - regard its shallow rooting today - hoping the plant would die. Hence 'Devil's Bit'. Of course, Succisella didn't die but it did lose its healing powers. In compensation it remained attractive and beautiful, full of Plenty for myriad insects among which Butterflies and also this marvelous Hoverfly.
Belted Flyer. Volucella zonaria, by the standard of Hoverfly sizes, is very large; it measures about 2.5 cm (=almost an inch) compared to the 2-3 mm (.09 inch) of the smallest ones. And Zonaria's color is striking as well, very orange-yellow, mimicking a Hornet. So often it's called the Hornet Hoverfly. Entirely harmless, though; not a devil at all in her!
Bit of a busy evening before Game of Thrones. Early post not following any theme. One of those days. Keep the love.
Too late to open my eyes
As I stand upon my head
Letting love lost leave
Had I not bit my tongue
Or swallowed my insecurities
Would I have not choked
On the bitter taste of pain?
Too late to see
My eyes were closed
Encased in comfort
Letting love lost leave

As I write this Hong Kong is experiencing a bit of turmoil. The photos of protestors I see are quite striking and a reminder that when one's freedom is taken away, trouble is not far behind. But for me, this is Hong Kong. The city is filled with spirited people who are not afraid to stand up and be heard. While Communist China will ultimately win, perhaps positive changes can be made tho' I'm cynical to believe freedom will win.
That said, Hong Kong is a vibrant and vigorous city that rivals New York City with it tall and massive skyscrapers. It is easy to feel dwarfed walking along the streets. You might even feel as if you're in a deep hole as natural light seems so far in the distance. If you reach your hand toward the sky, perhaps you'll touch the light tho' you never seem to touch the light.
I've spent a relatively short amount of time in Hong Kong as the city is always a stopover as I travel to/from Bali. Sometime I'd like to spend an extended period of time in Hong Kong to touch the soul of the city. I want to know all of its curves, quirks, tastes and sounds. Up to now I've experienced the top tourist things to do and this isn't quite so satisfying for me. It's almost as if I've only seen the superficial while I know there is a heart and soul to the city.
As you can view in the video presentation in this blog post, I can only recommend the Star Ferry Harbour Tour, the Tram and Tramoramic Golden Ticket Tour and Temple Street Night Market.

Pottering about a bit in our Snowy Garden this morning, my Sonyeye became intrigued by this Winter Brightness. Almost violently red Cotoneaster Berries are vying with Gravity - can't show you that - over the fortunes of an H2O-droplet. Amazing forces of Nature form such a droplet. Water molecules would rather band together than bond with other kinds such as air. This desire for proximity to each other causes their spherical shape - a bit technically: a sphere has the smallest possible surface area to volume ratio. What looks like an 'elastic membrane' around the droplet is in fact its surface tension, caused by that central molecular binding. This tension is quite something: it makes it possible for example for small insects to walk on water.
In the photo, our water droplet is not a sphere. It's pendant, pulled out of shape by the force of gravity. And fell into a snowy grave just as Sony did its thing.
A little bit of sunshine goes a long way, especially in these dark winter days.

……We are all feeling a bit battered at the moment as we all try to cope with a new way of living in these unprecedented times. This farm entrance has had a run-in with bigger machinery that seems to grow larger every year! Wishing you all the very best with your Lock-Down - Stay at HOME to stay safe and to NOT be a vehicle to the virus, Alan:-)

masonry drill bits differ from normal drill bits in that they have a hardened cutting tip (usually tungsten carbide) that is used to chip/grind hard materials such as masonry, brick or stone rather than cut through the material. The deeply fluted spiral shape that of the bit helps to remove dust and debris from the hole that is formed. Masonry bits are tippically used in hammer drills that use a combination of percussion and rotation to create a hole of the desired dimension
Sometimes described as a wooden Thrup'nny bit this coin was worth 1/80 of a pound and bears some resemblance to the present pound coin having 12 sides and golden colour. I chose this for the "Redux" theme on currency.
I've probably been in Thailand too long to think that the water of Emerald Lake would be anything other than freezing cold. Call me soft but even though it was a really hot day I only lasted a few seconds paddling in the lake
