Non è semplice conquistare l’amicizia di un gatto. Egli è un filosofo, calmo, tranquillo, una creatura abitudinaria, amante della decenza e dell’ordine. Non concede facilmente il suo sguardo e, sebbene possa acconsentire ad essere il vostro compagno, non sarà mai il vostro schiavo (Théophile Gautier)

It is not easy to win the friendship of a cat. He is a philosopher, calm, calm, a creature of habit, a lover of decency and order. He does not easily grant his gaze and, although he may consent to be your companion, he will never be your slave (Théophile Gautier)

Careful what you say

This time of year

Tends to weaken me

And have a little decency

And let me cry in peace

But there's a place where I

Erase the challenges I've been through

Where I know every corner,

Every street-name

all by heart

And so it is a part of my

courageous plan to leave

With a broken heart

Tucked away under my sleeve

I wanna go home for Christmas

Let me go home this year

I wanna go home for Christmas

Let me go home this year

I'll pack my bags

and leave before the sun rises tomorrow

'cause we act more like strangers for each day

That I am here

But I have people close to me

Who never will desert me

Who remind me frequently

What I was like as a child

And so it is a part of my

courageous plan to leave

With a broken heart

Tucked away under my sleeve

I wanna go home for Christmas

Let me go home this year

I wanna go home for Christmas

Let me go home this year

I don't know what my future holds

or who I'll choose to love me

But I can tell you where I'm from

And who loved me to life

And so it is a part of my

courageous plan to leave

With a broken heart

Tucked away under my sleeve

I wanna go home for Christmas

Let me go home this year

I wanna go home for Christmas

Let me go home this year

I would tell you about the things they put me through

The pain I've been subjected to

But the Lord himself would blush

The countless feasts laid at my feet

Forbidden fruits for me to eat

But I think your pulse would start to rush

Now I'm not looking for absolution

Forgiveness for the things I do

But before you come to any conclusions

Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

Decency look down upon

The scapegoat fate's made of me

But I promise now, my judge and jurors

My intentions couldn't have been purer

My case is easy to see

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience

Peace of mind after what I've been through

And before we talk of any repentance

Try walking in my shoes

I have always loved music and songs, it was my first love in life, and it will be my last love among others, like those closest to my heart.

Sometimes just instrumental music, but most times there are lyrics to amplify the feeling and mood or message I am trying to convey. Whether it's landscape pictures, or as of recently, I've also started experimenting more and more with avatar pictures, most of my captures are inspired by the music I listen to, and that I love so much, so that being said, my pictures doesn't necessarily have anything to do with me at all.

Rural countryside in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.

Each fall in Alaska we would hike to search and photograph the quintessential rutting moose. (Apart from those that visited the suburbs.) As we returned home on this rainy, foggy day, we spotted a bull moose at an unexpected home (not ours). Excitedly I leaped out to try to capture this handsome, large beast. Paid little attention to his possibly unhappy position of his ears or my shutter speed.

But I post this in all humility and happiness as I recall the moments of fun and joy. In all my encounters with these magnificent ungulates, not one charged me. Lucky.

I'm recalling joy as I avoid news. We must save our country and global emergency and fires and Black lives and human decency and contain Covid!

Not a long exposure, but a purposeful blur. :-)))

This is my first shot of any decency of a Pochard. I was fortunate enough to fire off a few shots before the bird was out of reach. Not all were framed as I would have liked, the one with the wings high could have been a bit more to the right in the frame. I cropped this to the max as the bird was off to the left in the original shot. I like the curled up wing tips of the second and the detail in the third. I couldn't decide which is my favourite so I am posting all three and we'll see how the views and comments go. Enjoyed the sunny morning at St Aidens/Swillington Ings this am. Once again thank you all for your comments and faves, much appreciated.

...not because it's the most important issue in the world, but because it's emblematic of a lack of basic human decency. #EmptyTheTanks

When we understand the importance of living together without judgement we will have arrived at a significantly better place than we are today. It is easy to be judgmental, but what purpose does it have? If we live together in peace and allow one another to live the way we wish as long as it does not physically harm anyone, that is what we should be aiming for. Compassion, love, tolerance, understanding, acceptance, respect, equality, diversity and decency will take you a long way. Steer your children away from hate, greed, selfishness and power, this type of behavior only causes pain and sadness to so many, so let's embrace our differences. This should happen globally with all nationalities being involved. So let's get started now!

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

It’s not a question of religious preference, it’s not a question of should government be big or small. I don’t have a problem with any of those topics.

Obviously not a squirrel but also one of the animals at Monrepos. The Great Tit is one of the two birds who usually have the decency to pose for a short moment before they grab their food and fly away again. The other one is the Jay.

I wanted to show off the gorgeous curves of the new Lelutka Bento shape by Izzie’s to their best advantage, but in order not to offend the decency police I had to put on this old bodysuit by Chocolate Atelier. When I did I realised it probably looks even better like this! Note that the eyeshadow and lipstick, especially designed for the Lelutka Bento head, are now available at the Glam Affair mainstore.

I'll *may* be posting two images today. As most of you know, 2021 has turned into another phase of my life in nature photography. As it turns out Phase 5.4, "Succulents, Cacti, and Other Wildflowers," has turned into one of the most challenging and interesting of all those aspects of nature that grabbed me and pulled me in. With wildflowers, especially cactus and succulents, any one flower can be shot from any number of angles and in all different light. And some flowers without real definition can "demand" 20 or 30 shots to finally figure out that, if the stem and stamen are in focus, the flower is also in focus and just doesn't have the expected "definition."

Having found that out, and normally only posting one image a day, I now have a backlog of over 400 images. Today, I was a few minutes too early to enter Ruth Bancroft Garden, and was about to explore the surrounding area, when along came this House finch, and he decided to perch at the very top of one of the most interesting agaves. Twenty feet of smooth "trunk" and these two remnants of flowers that had recently fallen off.

I liked the background that I saw in the viewfinder, and the bird had the decency to perch with the two most interesting parts of this tree, and I knew my plans for posting another flower today were going to be disrupted.

Two days ago, it was a Gulf Fritillary butterfly; the day before that, a Western Fence Lizard between two cacti; and the day before that, the Painted Lady which I did post.

So, continuity may be out the window ... although all of nature this year has been beautiful and unique, so enjoy the ride with me. It may be bumpy along the way: the temperature on Thursday is supposed to his 106, and I will not be "in the field" that day! At least for the time being, my archives are only a week old!

In Glasgow, Scotland, there is a charming & fascinating little museum called Tenement House that allows you to enter a time warp that allows you to experience life in a four room flat in the early 20th century. Home to a shorthand typist, Miss Agnes Toward and her dressmaker mother, it is perfectly preserved. Viewing the table set for tea, I felt like I was journeying back in time before an ignorant buffoon like Donald Trump could ever have been called our president. I long for the end of this nightmare that has descended on my country and pray for our national deliverance before too much damage is done.

We had a visitor today, a song thrush. I was quite excited as this was the first time I had a song thrush in my garden. Fynn noticed her/him first but had the decency not to chase and try to kill our new feathered friend, somtimes even cats have manners. I left Fynn and our guest alone, headed indoors to get the camera and hoped for the best. Surprisingly they were still where I had left them when I returned, the song thrush in the tree and the cat in the grass under the tree. It wasn't easy to focus but I managed a few photos before the visitor decided not to put Fynn's hospitality to the test any longer. I hope s/he will return, preferably at a time when all cats are indoors.
