My friend from yesterday suddenly deciding he had enough and, as clearly evident from the photo, startled me in this action. A bad photo, I pondered whether to discard it but played with it a while as best I could and decided to keep it...if for no other reason than the memory. I would have "painted" it but my free processing sites have suddenly decided to ask for money for the privilege as they all eventually do. Actually, it looks a bit like "painting" anyway.
There are a couple of nice points...particularly around the feet where the water spray is nicely expressed. Larger shows it better.
I remember deciding to try this on on the spur of the moment one night, as it had hung in my wardrobe for months with the tags still on. I didn't really think much of it at the time...

If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."

Thank you to all for your kind words! I really appreciate each one of them !!!
See my shots with 1,000+ faves, in Explore or my 3 best.
Photography is at least 50% subjective in my opinion., so that's for others to decide!
We took plenty of convectional shots of this beautiful Kingfisher so I thought I'd give the slower speed a try
Happily the experiment was brief one as most of the other 'efforts' were a bit of a disaster!
This cormorant killed a pike
BUT the fish was so big that he was unable to take it out of water to eat it , so he deciced to dive and to eat it underwater !!
Ce cormoran a tué un brochet
MAIS le poisson était si gros qu'il était incapable de le sortir de l'eau pour le manger, alors il a décidé de plonger et de le manger sous l'eau !!

cherry blossoms silhoette by Dawn Grace. Please do not steal my photos. These pictures are here to represent my work as a professional tattoo artist, and most of these designs were drawn specifically for each client.
That said, i cannot email you pictures of my clients' custom work so that you can take it to another artist to have it done. It's not fair to the people who pay to get tattooed by me.
Tattooing is a personal decision, and should you decide to get tattooed, put thought into what you want and find an artist who is willing and able to draw and tattoo exactly what you desire.
Do not leave comments about my clients' bodies ("she's sexy" or "damn, she's fat ",or choice of subject matter. )

En 1740, el Marqués de Dos Aguas, decide renovar su casa solariega como muestra de su poder y linaje, y sustituye el carácter severo de la antigua casa por una gran abundancia decorativa. De esta reforma destaca especialmente la portada principal. La fachada, de estilo puramente barroco, presenta dos figuras alegóricas del río, en alusión al marquesado y está rematada por una hornacina con la Virgen del Rosario que fue realizada por el mismo Vergara. Estaba protegida por un balcón corrido del cual se conservan grabados y fotografías.

Of this reform, the main portal stands out. The façade, in a purely baroque style, presents two allegorical figures of the river, alluding to the marquisate and is topped by a niche with the Virgen del Rosario that was made by Vergara himself. It was protected by a continuous balcony of which engravings and photographs are preserved.

I did this mostly in Photoshop Elements-23. Stu is such a good sport to let me distort him this way!
I could not decide which of these photos would better represent my wish of a Happy Valentine's Day to all my Flickr friends who celebrate.
So I decided to upload both photos.
Certainly the better would be love with passion, but this is up to you, my friends. ;)
Happy Valentine's Day!
>> They say its not hard to be kind..so why don't you be ?
Make someone's day , before you decide to ruin it . Put a smile on they faces , instead of tears. Be kind. Be an empath . Be human. Stop hurting each other.
Spread love , instead of hate.
Words can hurt , more than physical violence , you can push someone to do unimaginable things. So stop ! Let's fight against bullies , cyber bullies , do that together ! <<

The winter and the cold wave came to Switzerland.
With this picture I did not make it easy for me. At first I really could not decide which photo to put on flickr. I wrestled with myself, because I would like to present the most beautiful photo for my friends here. Secondly, the picture was made under very difficult external conditions, because it was really "bitterly cold". I could barely touch my hands after photographing and yet I wanted to get a nice photo of these beautiful ice crystals. I succeeded, more or less, because the background was not ideal for that. In addition, my faithful friend Roco had to wait for me and there I no longer want to start one try after another. This time I did not want to make any compromises with the warm colors of the picture, because the cold should be very touchable. I believe this has succeeded with this picture. I am fascinated by this "little work of art". Each little detail is a miracle of creation, because it was shaped by the elements of nature and radiates its brilliance as long as this nature allows.
I am grateful for these little things without which life would not be so beautiful and interesting.
Rejoice over the elements of nature.
Erwin
I thank you all for the interest and enthusiasm for my work here. I am happy about every comment from you and every time you like my pictures. Thank you very much for all the favorites and for watching my photos.
Small supplement of today:
The winter has caught up with me too, for I am terribly cold. Nevertheless, or just because of this, I am looking forward to every single word from you. Also, I always see in the little things, which makes the importance and beauty of life. Wish all of you a blessed time, without illness and with much love and joy. Hope you can all be in a nice warm place, because outside it is extremely cold here. Brrrrrr .....

Taken in the Dahlia garden, near “De Piepermolen” te Rekken.
Maar hoe is dahliatuin in Rekken ontstaan?
In 2010 tijdens het 100-jarig bestaan van de Vereniging Rekkens Volksfeest was er voor het eerst een dahliatuin bij de Piepermolen in Rekken. Een groep vrijwilligers heeft toen vanwege het 100-jarig jubileum van Vereniging Rekkens Volksfeest een dahliatuin aangelegd met daarin 100 soorten dahlia’s. Unieke soorten die niet verwerkt worden op de (Rekkense) corsowagens. De belangstelling voor de dahliatuin was overweldigend. Een aantal vrijwilligers heeft daarom de koppen weer bij elkaar gestoken om enkele jaren later wederom een dahliatuin te kunnen realiseren. Zo werd er in 2014 voor de tweede keer een dahliatuin aangelegd bij de Piepermolen. Deze dahliatuin was met zijn 160 soorten nog groter dan de die in 2010. Ook nu weer was de dahliatuin aangekleed met diverse accessoires. De belangstelling bij de opening was groot en ook in weken, maanden daarna zijn er vele mensen geweest die een bezoek hebben gebracht aan de dahliatuin. De reacties waren ook nu weer zeer positief, dat zorgde ervoor dat de vrijwilligers toen al besloten dat de dahliatuin ook in de jaren daarna een vervolg zou gaan krijgen. En nu is dat moment aangebroken. De vrijwilligers zijn alweer bezig met de voorbereidingen voor de dahliatuin 2022. Dit jaar zullen er weer vele soorten dahlia’s te bewonderen zijn.
De vrijwilligers zijn ruim een half jaar druk bezig met de aanleg maar vooral met het onderhouden van de dahliatuin, zij houden zich bezig met o.a. het poten van de dahlia’s, het schoffelen, het plukken van de (slechte) bloemen en aan het einde van het seizoen, het uithalen van de knollen. Dit alles is zeer arbeidsintensief, de vrijwilligers zijn hier zeker één middag in de week mee bezig.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But how did the dahlia garden in Rekken come about?
In 2010, during the centenary celebrations of the Rekken Folk Festival Association (*Vereniging Rekkens Volksfeest*), a dahlia garden was created for the first time at the Piepermolen in Rekken. To mark the association's 100th anniversary, a group of volunteers planted a garden featuring 100 varieties of dahlias—unique types not typically used on the local parade floats. Public interest in the dahlia garden was overwhelming. Consequently, a number of volunteers joined forces again to create another dahlia garden a few years later. Thus, in 2014, a second dahlia garden was established at the Piepermolen. With 160 varieties, this garden was even larger than the one from 2010. Once again, the garden was enhanced with various decorative elements. There was great interest at the opening, and many people visited the garden in the weeks and months that followed. The response was extremely positive, prompting the volunteers to decide right then that the dahlia garden would continue in future years. Now, that time has come again; the volunteers are already busy preparing for the 2022 dahlia garden. This year, many varieties of dahlias will once again be on display.
The volunteers spend more than six months hard at work—not only establishing the garden but, more importantly, maintaining it. Their tasks include planting the dahlias, hoeing, removing spent or damaged blooms, and lifting the tubers at the end of the season. All of this is very labor-intensive; the volunteers certainly spend one afternoon a week on it.
The Conservatory Garden is located on the Upper East Side between 104th and 106th streets on 5th Avenue. It is a peaceful, reflective respite from the bustling city. The crabapples were blossoming when I visited, I’ve never seen so many crabapple trees. There are benches all around the park to rest. I must have taken over 100 photos here. So hard to decide which ones to post. I hope it brings you peace on a Saturday morning.

Having grown weary of the winter, the Blessed family decides to take a vacation to the East. Little did they know, the communal resort they decide upon was designed by a wealthy businessman who had very little knowledge of the culture. The result was an eclectic mixture of both Eastern and Western styles.
this young cheetah is the leader of a group of 3 that we found in Mara North Conservancy.
While we were following them they were attacked by 2 lionesses from the River Pride. The cheetahs were of course too fast to be caught but the lionesses kept on chasing them for about 15 minutes. This photo was taken after the attacks and when the 3 youngsters were again together and now this cheetah had to decide where to go now.
Later in the trip I found out that this group of young cheetahs had previously been chased out of the Lemek and Enonkishu Conservancies. These conservancies all have big lion prides and large populations of hyena's.
Very challenging conditions for cheetahs.

If I ever decide to give up on you, understand how much that took out of me. I'm the type to give endless chances, always have your back even when you're wrong, and truely accept you for who you are. When the rest of the world doesn't want you, I will. So if I decide to give up on you, understand it took everything I had left inside of me to leave you alone. Because if I love you and care for you, there isn't anything on the planet I won't do for you.
This is the variation of last weeks Sunday Slider. This one being very similar to last week will not be going into the slider pool.
I had a hard choice last week deciding which shot I liked more.

Life's a long, long road, if we are lucky. For so long I've just followed the road, it seems with one wheel stuck in a rut at the side steering me along without me being in control. And it has gone on and on. There's a crossroads further down in the picture, in the middle of nowhere. No signs. No landmarks. Just an empty crossroads where two roads meet on the barren moorland. I'm getting near there. Do I carry on straight or turn, left or right, and explore a bit to the side...perhaps it was a waste of time, the wrong choice....nothing to see down there, and return to the junction.
I'm almost at that point, decisions, decisions in deciding if I leave so much of what I've known, work, Cheshire and the hills around, friends, goats, North Wales and take a change in direction.
We've found a place. A long way north. Seven hours drive north to Acharacle, Argyllshire at the far end of Loch Shiel. Mountains, lochs, deer, little beaches with white sand, heather...........
I've seen recently how hard it is to leave everything you've known and strike out somewhere else when my son took his young family off to New Zealand. They'd said they never could have anticipated how difficult it would be to say "Goodbye". My turn soon.
