This was Gibsy's first encouter with sheep. We stayed in a cottage in the Brecon Beacons in Wales and there were sheep and horses in the field next door. He was around four months old and totally fascinated. Happy Fenced Friday everyone!
As the autumn winds swept across the fields,
a light feeling rose against the backdrop of a painted sky.
Shades covered the landscape,
and someone suddenly thought
they should start counting the leaves.🍁
⁛ Sometimes, beauty asks for nothing, just to be noticed once.

Every once in a while a dragonfly will take pity on me. like this Blue Dasher, and grant me a halfway decent opportunity to grab a quick shot before it darts away.
Wonder if getting his shadow counts as two for the price of one?

Taken with the Nikon Z 8 w/ Nikkor Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S w/ Z TC-1.4X teleconverter. As you can see it's a fabulous lens, and so light weight I miss it already. However I actually don't think it's that much better than my NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR w/ Z TC-1.4X teleconverter.
The weight factor is a big deal at just over 3 lbs. But even at only 3 lbs. it's still to heavy for an 81 year old fellow that has been beating the stuffings out of myself my whole life.
With, count em' 2 torn rotator cuffs. And if I have to go through that much pain to left my camera and lens, it's hardly anything compared to the pain I've been going through thinking about the pain and suffering I have to endure parting with nearly 5 grand, now that's real pain. If had unlimited funds, I'd keep it in a heart beat.
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

It was 90 seconds. During this time, I stood still with my tripod and watched the nature, the sky, the clouds and listened to the birds. This relax session cost me nothing.
Nature reserve "Urdenbacher Kämpe", Düsseldorf, Germany.
In 994, Count Palatine Aribo I of the Aribonen noble family donated a monastery in “Sewa”. Due to the very good relationship between the Count Palatine and the Bishop of Regensburg, Wolfgang von Regensburg, monks from the St. Emmeram Monastery in Regensburg move into the new foundation. The monastery receives relics of St. Lambert of Maastricht.
The monastery is in full bloom financially and economically. The monastery has a very good reputation for the production of magnificent manuscripts and books. This economic success is also reflected in the construction of a new, essentially Romanesque church, consecrated in 1200. In 1201, King Philip gave the Bishop of Salzburg the former imperial abbey together with Frauenchiemsee.
At the end of the 14th and beginning of the 15th century the church was rebuilt in the Gothic style.
But in the 16th century, many monks followed the teachings of Martin Luther and left the monastery.
Duke Albrecht V reformed the Seeon monastery with the help of the Benedictines from Tegernsee. It experiences a new beginning. In 1579, during the Renaissance, the interior of the church was decorated with magnificent frescoes.
Under Abbot Honorad Kolb, however, the monastery experienced an upswing in the middle of the Thirty Years' War. This can be seen in the numerous new buildings that the abbot has built. The interior of the church was also lined with baroque stucco under his leadership. Debt weighs heavily on the monastery's shoulders. The abbot is deposed. However, the monastery was soon debt-free again and was one of the richest monasteries in old Bavaria.
Like all monasteries, Seeon falls victim to secularisation. The monastery church becomes a parish church, and the convent buildings change hands several times.
In the 19th century, the church interior was redesigned in a neo-Gothic style, and the baroque stucco was removed.
Today there is a cultural and educational center in the monastery buildings.
The Seeoner Madonna is famous, a figure of the Master of Seeon (name unknown). A copy of the figure is in the high altar created in 1947, the original is on display in the Bavarian National Museum. The crucifixion group created around 1390 hangs under the triumphal arch. There it was placed in its original place in 2002 after it had been removed during the baroque period, and in 1982 it went to the Diocesan Museum in Freising.
Comparison photo with my new 1/72 models on top of the originals. Probably not the best angle to show some of the new techniques but will be uploading more detailed photos of all as they are upgraded.

Yes, this is a mainline train with nothing but SD40-2s, just what decade are we in?
Too bad 1687 fell victim to the primer door.
I cannot count the number of times I have walked under these overpasses and crossed both above and below this line of light. I really like it. The two ramps for I-405 here are so independently massive yet the engineers who put this all together left this narrow band of openness between them. It must only be a foot or two wide, and I am kind of surprised it wasn't all just joined together somehow, but there it is. And so every time I walk under this cement ceiling I find myself looking either up or down at the thin strip of light that commands its own place between the two.

I did a closet count yesterday. Not counting shorts, skorts, rompers, or dresses I had 47 skirts ! I also have 27 tops to mix and match with those skirts which makes a lot of different outfits! I know this could be more than many women have but I still want to go out and get more ! LOL
A photo from each month this year. (man oh man it was hard to choose just one Scotland picture!)
January: small landscapes
February: but not broken
March: pushing against the cold
April: I should go now, quietly
May: untitled
June: a rare moment of stillness
July: beach living
August: and one old truck
September: the arrival
October: in a flurry of chaos and light
November: study in coolness
December: a little christmas red
As I mentioned under previous picture - today I did several shots with all my cameras.
To sum what I have, what to keep and what to sell.
I counted 10 cameras and 13 lenses. I definitely don't need all that stuff.
The oldest camera is the GF1 and the newest is GX80 (aka GX85). I really like most of them as each got different sensor, capabilities, handling, speed, etc. Each gives a joy when using.
Every camera that does not fit my liking I used to sell with no doubts.
1. Yes We Are, 2. Retirement Plan, 3. Bikes Only, 4. Rough And Rowdy Ways, 5. Fresh, 6. Eye Candy, 7. Incoming, 8. Fremont East, 9. Where Have I Been, 10. Brooklyn Diner, 11. November Snow, 12. Libby's Holiday Shot
From East Coast to West Coast; hospitals to farmers markets; beaches to deserts; Dylan to diners; with home and dog to keep me centered.

as I told my SIL, today we in never-neverland are without water, again, because some pipe from the water tank to the house is leaking.
sigh...
it throws off our rhythm.
so today I count my blessings and try to look for small treasures:
a small hand-blown glass dish from leon from probably 30+ years ago. it holds a worry stone and a shiny black rock.
some wooden frogs and a necklace from jon and his # 1 wife from thailand. # 1 wife made the necklace.
a small glass jar full of colorful stones from a friend's store.
.....several treasures among many.
oh, and how could I forget...I have 4 dogs upstairs with me wanting hugs while they are waiting for their daddy to get back from the store. bearing water, I hope.

Abandoned places in Berlin
The former investigative and district court prison in Berlin Köpenick * 1899 was begun in Berlin-Köpenick with the construction of a district court and a prison and taken at the end of 1901 in operation. In May 1933, the SA took over the prison. She used it as a central detention and torture center. During this time, known as Blood Week, communists, dissenters, and Jews were maltreated and murdered behind thick brick walls.
At the time of the GDR, the building was initially used as a men's and youth prison and later converted as a remand prison. Since the eighties, the building is largely empty.
The dilapidated Berlin-Köpenick prison shows Spartan prison conditions at the time of the Emperors. No heating, no toilets, sleeping in dark, tiny cells on wooden bunks
Decades of decay have left their mark: once green and white paint peeling off the walls,
Cell to cell, four stories high, door latch and folding spy doors through which the guards watched the inmates.
If you were here, you whould not feel the need to come back here after the dismissal.
This was a tiny low rez photo from a pre-iPhone phone camera. Used LR and Topaz to bring it up to spec; kept the retro feel while raising the pixel count to something more modern. Not a miracle but not too shabby either. This one goes into the family album.
First outing for Sigma 12-24. No AF for the F50 and that's a bit tricky with the focusing. That's the moment I've waited, a bit of color in the sky and lights turned on. The lights were bright enough for the reflection. My verdict of the lens is not as good as the Nikon 24mm F2.8 Prime, in term of crisp-ness and clarity. Well, I need the Sigma for it's 12mm!

Little trip at La Dolce Terra
Pass the time with you in mind
It's a rather quiet night
Feel the ground against my back
Counting stars against the black
Thinking bout another day
Wishing I was far away
Whether they were dreams or worries
You were there with me
Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears running down my face
Sister, Sister keep me
I hope you always know its true
I would never make it through
We could make the sun go down
Just by walking away
Playing like we used to play
Our kingdom will never go away
Feel you beating in my chest
I'll be dead without
Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears running down my face
Sister, Sister will you keep me?
I would never make it through
Hope you always know its true
You could make the heaven's fall
Just by walking away
Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears running down my face
Sister, Sister keep me
