Hard to climb for a chick.

And hard to catch for the photographer !!

They are sooooo fast

You can see how fast it was for example if you watch to the falling droplets.

When you can't fly, and you keep falling out of trees, climbing skills are in order.

Climb the mountain and get their good tiding, nature peace will flow into you as sunrise flows into trees, the wind will blow their own freshness and storm their energy while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of spring

The climb up the Niagara escarpment begins for both of these trains. CP 247-31 ascends the 2% percent grade up the Hamilton sub as CN A43531-31 starts to climb the grade to Copetown. Sometimes the stars align and things work out. Not a bad way to end 2020. Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021!

The next five day's I will be over to the other side of the country for my real life job.

So no second life, no taking pictures.and not posting.

This will be the case for four weeks on weekday's.

With a Second Life inventory exploding with stuff to show I have to let real life get my full priority.

In the meantime have fun while you shop until you drop.

The small figures give good scale. this is the largest dune at Sossusvlei, Namibia.

In the rose garden at the Ringling Museum. It was not the best day to photograph the roses because they had just been cut back and fertilized for the growing season, but I managed to find a few to capture.

I'm kind of obsessed with this tree, needing to photograph it each time I'm in the vicinity.

je suis un peu obsédée par cet arbre, ayant besoin de le prendre en photo à chaque fois je suis dans son coin.

This bee was climbing all over, and only flying once in awhile. Not sure if he was saving energy or what, but he did eventually take off and disappear. All of his climbing did let me get in a few nice shots though.
