I just came across this old place on my travels and I was impressed with the light filtering through the trees and the colours of the foliage. I would love to live in it, given half a chance and Id say I wouldnt be the only one!
Do hope you like my effort and have a great weekend ahead!

Update; Hiya everybody! Im really delighted that so many people like this very simple photo. Maybe there`s a lesson there for us all really as it was only a quick snap and I wasnt going to bother putting it up here. I thought the angle of the house was a bit funny but I couldnt get back far enough to try and get more of a front on shot. I lay down on the road to try and get the leading lines to converge towards the turn in the lane which seems to have worked. I didnt think about it much really but I do think your eye improves with practice and after a while you find yourself composing photos fairly automatically before you even point the camera at the scene.
Of course, there are superb "artists" on here who continually break the standard rules of composition with stunning results [ have a look at "In Explore" ] and they are the true masters of their trade! So Ill struggle on and maybe someday!!!!!
Thanks to all my "Friends" here on Flickr for all your great Photos!!!!
Have a great weekend!!!

"LIFER"!
A PAIR seen near the Kotu Bridge were continually calling to one another, hence giving their position away every time, but they moved very quickly and kept mainly under mangrove leaf cover. Have images of both male above, and female I hope to show later, as she is quite different. A pure joy to see these and kept me busy for a long time. Zoom in for the lunchtime capture !!!
=============================================
THANKYOU for your visit and friendship, look forward to seeing and commenting on your latest postings,
Keep safe and well dear friends, God bless............Tomx
"LIFER"!
BEAUTIFUL females are grey and apricot-buff, completely different from the black and white males shown earlier. It was one of the highlights seeing the pair insect hunting but continually calling to each other, so glad I was in the right spot at the right time Kuto Gambia.

THANK YOU, for your visit, friendship, and Kind comments, enjoy the new week and stay safe and well, God bless...... Tomx
Let's Fast Forward to summer. Look who has popped up in my garden, waiting for further instructions :) My dog, Emmy, loves our time in the garden, although her best contribution to the garden chores is to "do no harm". Her favorite garden activity is to chase her friend Meowzer, the cat, and vice versa :)

AN ELEGANT BIRD, with a strikingly long tail that continually pumps up and down. The Grey Wagtail is invariably associated with fresh flowing water and often perches on mid-stream boulders or a floating leaf like above, looking for insects flying or struggling in the water. The only place I know in our area is Russell Gardens near Dover to find this Waggie, and on arrival, the whole area was full of workmen, digging the area up, they had a lottery grant, so was lucky when this one, put in a ten second appearance, not a good result, and a heavy crop, as a bit distant.
====================================================
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND, love reading your comments, they are always appreciated, and will return the visit to do the same.
ENJOY the weekend my dear friends, Christmas Shopping for most of us, stay well and safe, enjoy, God bless...................... ............................................Tomx

The thread looked neatly wound around these bobbins at first, but the bobbins continually toppled. I finally let threads dangle.
Almost 4cm/1.57 inches tall. These just look large because the Laowa lens lets me move the lens in almost touching the subject and then magnifies by two.
In January 2022 I asked a Flickr support hero to remove me from the Explore algorithm. I feel more relaxed and in the moment.
To me the sea is a continual miracle; The fishes that swim, the rocks, the motion of the waves, the ships with men in them. What stranger miracles are there? Thanks for your visit and comments, my friends.. I hope you're all staying safe and healthy):

Glaciar Perito Moreno
Este glaciar muestra un sorprendente y curioso fenómeno, en el que su gran masa de hielo avanza continuamente, provocando la acumulación, ruptura y desprendimiento de gigantescos bloques de hielo en su frente de 5 Km. de ancho, situado sobre el Canal de los Témpanos; allí es donde navegan los numerosos fragmentos de hielo del glaciar.
El frente del glaciar sobrepasa los 60 m sobre el agua en su altura máxima, de donde caen continuamente trozos de diversos tamaños, produciendo una estridencia comparable al sonido del trueno.
This glacier shows a surprising and curious phenomenon, in which his great mass of ice is continuously advancing, causing the accumulation, rupture and detachment of giant blocks of ice on its front of 5 Km. wide, located on the Canal de Los Tempanos; there is where sailing the many fragments of ice from the glacier.
The front of the glacier exceeds 60 m above the water at its maximum height, where continually fall pieces of various sizes, producing a stridency comparable to the sound of thunder.

United States Botanical Garden - Conservatory
The United States Botanic Garden (USBG) is a botanic garden on the grounds of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., near Garfield Circle. The Botanic Garden is supervised by the Congress through the Architect of the Capitol, who is responsible for maintaining the grounds of the United States Capitol. The USBG is open every day of the year, including federal holidays. It is the oldest continually operating botanic garden in the United States.
Glacier Park's Two Medicine Lake shrinks and almost disappears as I climb up the Scenic Point trail. I was the first hiker on the trail this morning. The bottom of the trail is forest, following along Appistoki creek, and it's pretty waterfalls. After a continual 2400 foot climb I could look both East and West. The winds were horrendous, some of the worst I've experienced when hiking. They shut down this trail occasionally when the winds are unsafe. Best to get an early start, as the winds pick up as the sun moves west. Highly recommended when in the Two Medicine area.
Looking down on Pray Lake to the right near the campground with Two Medicine Lake sitting between Mt. Sinopah and Rising Wolf mountain. Doesn't look like it but Two Medicine Lake is approximately 2 miles long and .33 miles wide.

Given that average yearly temperatures are currently increasing, and the outlook is for this trend to continue, it is actually possible that the glacier might experience a period of stabilization or slight advance during its retreating march. This is because increasing amounts of warm, moist air will be carried up to the head of the icefield, where colder ambient temperatures will cause it to precipitate as snow. The increased amount of snow will feed the icefield, possibly enough to offset the continually increasing melting experienced at the glacier's terminus. However, this interesting phenomenon will fade away if temperatures continue to climb, since the head of the glacier will no longer have cold enough ambient temperatures to cause snow to precipitate.

Für mich ist das Meer ein fortwährendes Wunder; Die schwimmenden Fische, die Felsen, die Bewegung der Wellen, die Schiffe mit Menschen darin. Welche seltsamen Wunder gibt es?

European Buzzard [Buteo buteo]
This youngster has been flying around my hill with his mum, for the past few weeks. They call to each other as, I assume, she is showing him how to hunt.
Here, he was sitting on a telegraph post, continually calling for his mum, who was very conspicuous in her absence. Maybe she had gone hunting by herself - or maybe she thought the time had come to loosen the apron strings and let junior get on with it by himself. Such a sad, sad sight. He was was still there, hours later, as I was returning home.
Poor wee soul!

“If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain.”

I wish I had some words of comfort for everyone around the world that are not only dealing with the pandemic upon us, but also adjusting to the social anxiety and people's peculiar reactions to everything. I went to the grocery store today and by the time I got back home I felt like I was drowning in 2 inches of water. It's a strange feeling that makes me say, "Take me away."
In spite of it all, I still have hope and still believe in the goodness that lies within most of humanity. We will pull together and all be better for it.
I also wanted to once again express my sincere gratitude for each of you who continually bless my heart with your faves, awards and comments. Each one is precious to me and I deeply appreciate your constant encouragement. Please have a good week ahead and remember that we need each other.
I try to make my way to you
But still I feel so lost
I don't know what else I can do
I've seen it all
And it's never enough
It keeps leaving me needing you
Take me away
Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away
Osprey with catch gets chased by Sea Gull.
The Osprey was continually harassed by this Seagull for quite some time as the Osprey rode the updrafts in order to get higher. I managed to get a couple of hundred shots of this encounter and after a while, the Osprey landed on a rock ledge where it finally devoured its meal in peace.
Moraine Lake, being glacially fed, does not reach its crest until middle to late June. When it is full, it reflects a distinctive shade of azure blue. The unique colour is due to the refraction of light off the rock flour deposited in the lake on a continual basis by surrounding glaciers.
PS The day we were there it was cold and started to snow! Yes, in Summer!
My local hills, the Galloway Hills were looking beautiful with their winter coats.
This image was taken the morning after the first snow fall giving it a crisp fresh look and was great to walk on, but quite deep making it a bit of a work out!
But a welcome change to the continual rain we have had here.
Driftwood continually gets washed up and beached at the tip of Point Pelee National Park on Lake Erie. The beach tip is always littered with pieces of driftwood but visitors are not allowed to walk away with any of these treasures though.
In this large sea cave, a colony of Steller sea lions permanently resides and California sea lions also winter here. Waves from the open sea continually come splashing into the cave. The sea lions spend time here hauled out on rocks to rest and find shelter from winter storms. Many birds also inhabit the cave system.
An elevator has been built to take visitors down into the cave, where a single, carefully fenced-off viewpoint allows this incredible glimpse into another world! It is totally magical!
Between the crashing waves and the constant barking of the sea lions, the sound was deafening in this echoing cavern, and so whatever sound came from the human visitors was completely drowned out and became irrelevant. I was glad to come away with the impression that the wild sea lions really didn't seem bothered by the tourism activity.

A village on the southern slopes of the North York Moors with a population of about 180. Thats not counting the sheep which continually wander the village
I remember these in full and almost continual use some decades ago. Now they are neglected and I expect a very unpleasant experience should you be brave enough to open a door of one of these K6's!
Are they really worth keeping in this condition? As seen on a walk in Enfield - they are located in Little Park Gardens.

The Brighton Speed Trials is commonly held to be the oldest continually running motor race in the world.
The first race was held 19th–22nd July 1905 after Sir Harry Preston persuaded Brighton town council to tarmac the surface of the road adjacent to the beach between the Palace Pier and Black Rock to hold motor racing events, now known as Marine Parade...
This Great Blue Heron was out fishing for his evening meal.
Great Blue Herons have specialized feathers on their chest that continually grow and fray. The herons comb this “powder down” with a fringed claw on their middle toes, using the down like a washcloth to remove fish slime and other oils from their feathers as they preen.

Joshua tree has long, fascinated the scientific world as well as just a regular folks blown away by the Majestic beauty of the oddly formed rocks, and the Joshua trees and the energy of the land. Geologist believe the face of the landscape was born more than.100 million years ago. Molten liquid heated by. The continual movement of the Earths crust oozed upward and cooled well still below the earths surface. These plutonic intrusions. Are a giant rock. Called monzogranite. A cult like following believes created Joshua tree. Many have claimed to see UFOs and try to film them.

A Barred Owl enjoying a Cutthroat Trout early one morning.
I had decided to check the creek area for owls before settling down to document the hummingbird nest I found this year. While down by the creek in the first area the owls like to hang out in, I saw it 'bomb' by with something in it's talons. Taking note of where it went, I followed as quietly as possible. When I did see it, I was surprised by how close I found myself. Position and lighting weren't the best, but I was in heavy undergrowth at this point, and daren't move in fear of disturbing it. Off came the tripod for some hand-held shots of it enjoying a 'bed-time' snack before the day heated up.
This shot was taken three days after my upload of it eating a crayfish (Evening Mystery), and just shy of three months earlier than my previous upload.
The reason for my visit to this special place three months later, was because I was appalled to read in our local paper that there had been a bleach leak into the creek where this owl and it's sibling reside. The 'bleach leak' was massive. It killed everything in the creek for ~150 meters from where a storm drain empties into it. The clean-up crews recovered 318 dead cutthroat trout, 6 cohos, 13 sculpins and 11 sticklebacks.
The week following the report, I went to see if the owls had moved on to a new location to hunt, or were still there, as crayfish were a favourite snack that I have seen them enjoy on more than one occasion. I was relieved, therefore, when I came across one quite early in my walk, obviously in hunting mode, and hearing things of interest coming from the creek (previous upload). I then left it in peace, convinced that the creek had already started to recover from the bleaching event.
Suffice it to say I am continually appalled by how man treats the environment. This creek was already under massive restorative measures due to heavy metal contamination leached into its sediment from airport run-off. To think it was finally recovering nicely with a return of the fish to be so cavalierly poisoned again by, what? Someone emptying their hot tub down their driveway? It had to be a massive amount of bleach to affect so many meters of downstream life... When will we ever learn?

The windmill complex of Kinderdijk represents the courageous fight of the Dutch against the sea level. For many years, the windmills of Kinderdijk kept the land, which was continually threatened by floods and soil compaction, dry.
The Alblasserwaard – once an untamed and wet peatland – was eventually inhabited by humans, who built windmills in the area to drain the water. Besides Kinderdijk and its 19 iconic windmills, you can also visit the villages of Streefkerk and Oud-Alblas during your cycle trip. Cycle along canals and small rivers, take the ferry and enjoy the impressive views and charming farmhouses.
Australian Water Dragons are extremely shy in the wild, but readily adapt to continual human presence in suburban parks and gardens. They are fast runners and strong climbers. When faced with a potential predator, they seek cover in thick vegetation, or drop from an overhanging branch into water. They are able to swim totally submerged, and rest on the bottom of shallow creeks or lakes for up to 90 minutes to avoid detection.
This little fellow is one of three juveniles and several adults who live among the rocks at the edge of the local river. I love watching them, they're very fast and have loads of attitude.
