Most people decide to take photos from the breathtaking coastal line of the Mediterranean Sea at Taormina. I took a photo of the opposite site of this amazing place.
I love standing waiting for the storms and squalls to approach, watching everyone else leave the beach. I just get so absorbed in trying to capture all the drama that i forget about the imminent soaking. Deciding whether to run for cover or not is usually a last second spur of the moment thing.I usually just turn my back, cover the camera and wait , while the hail bounces off and all around me. Deciding to Run is by Richmond Fontaine, sometimes I'll run to a cliff or cave .
🇫🇷 À Pietracorbara, la commune a décidé de redonner vie à sa tour génoise. En ruine depuis les années 1940, ce monument historique, datant du XVIe siècle, va bientôt devenir une tour de surveillance pour la baignade.

Fuji X-E3. What do I do if my "oceanic feeling" won't go away? Will I deny it access to my thinking? Will I say that this is just a survival of a piece of early infantile emotion. Alternatively, will I grant this feeling access to my world and even celebrate it as a way to find union with transcendence, the cosmos from its beginning to its end? You know what? I refuse to decide. This is not an either-or-decision. Both approaches are alive and kicking within me. Deciding this matter is way above me.

Most of the times when I go out shooting, I hope for something and often settle for less, and sometimes nothing at all. This time I got more than I wished for. This little guy was just about done with a night of hunting and decided to have a bite out of its last catch before resting for the day.
We can see on this shot the portion of the prey that was set aside to finish later. That is when I decided to leave, the rest was probably a very quiet owl going to rest.
Quand je pars en photo, j'ai toujours une idée de ce que je souhaite rencontrer. Plus souvent qu'autrement je dois me contenter de moins, et souvent de rien du tout. Ainsi va la vie quand on dépend autant sur la chance. Cette fois j'ai eu beaucoup plus que j'espérais. Cette petite nyctale venait tout juste de se percher avec sa proie après probablement une longue nuit de chasse. Avant de se retirer pour la journée, elle a décidé de manger une partie de sa proie.
On peut voir sur cette prise une partie de la proie qu'elle a mis de côté. J'ai quitté tout de suite après cette prise pour respecter son repos...après avoir été témoin de son repas.

Photo : Coccinelle dans le bois de Sillé-le-Guillaume. La coccinelle est un animal bien aimé, qui, dit-on, quand il vient nous porte chance. C’est un animal protagoniste de tant et tant légendes dans beaucoup de traditions séculaires. Au XXe siècle, un homme, accusé d’avoir assassiné son patron est condamné à la décapitation. Il proteste (en vain) avec véhémence. Au moment où le bourreau va abattre sa hache, il remarque une coccinelle posée sur le coup du pauvre homme. De sa grosse main, il la retire délicatement, reprend sa hache et s’apprête de nouveau à infliger la sentence lorsqu’il aperçoit la coccinelle située sur le coup du condamné. Le roi, présent comme à chaque exécution, y voit un signe divin et décide de gracier l’homme. Quelques jours plus tard, le vrai meurtrier est découvert. Une autre version, datant de la même époque, explique que les pucerons ravageaient les récoltes, ce qui allait engendrer une grande période de famine. Désespérés, les fermiers se mirent à prier la Sainte-Vierge. Par la suite, des nuées de coccinelles atterrirent et dévorèrent les pucerons, ce qui sauva les récoltes. Les fermiers virent en cet événement une intervention divine.

Foto: Mariquita en el bosque de Silé-le-Guillaume. La mariquita es un animal querido, que, se dice, cuando llega nos trae suerte. Es un animal que protagoniza numerosas leyendas en muchas seculares tradiciones. En el siglo XX, un hombre acusado de haber asesinado a su jefe es condenado a decapitación. Él protesta (en vano) con vehemencia. Justo cuando el verdugo está ya a punto de bajar su hacha, ve una mariquita posada sobre el cuello del pobre. Con su gran mano la retira con delicadeza, toma su hacha y se dispone nuevamente a imponer la sentencia cuando ve la mariquita situada en el cuello del condenado. El rey, presente como en cada ejecución, lo vio como un signo divino y decidió perdonar al hombre. Unos días después, se descubre al verdadero asesino. Otra versión, que data de la misma época, explica que los pulgones asolaban los cultivos, lo que provocaría una gran época de hambruna. Desesperados, los agricultores comenzaron a rezar a la Santísima Virgen. Posteriormente, enjambres de mariquitas aterrizaron y devoraron los pulgones, salvando las cosechas. Los agricultores vieron este evento como una intervención divina.
This Green Heron just couldn’t decide: ‘Should I stay or should I go?’ He would stretch his neck up, begin to leave then compress that magical slinky neck down and relax for a few seconds before doing it again. Finally, he stretched his neck way out and took to the air. Green Herons are often amusing, chasing each other around, making strange sounds, fishing from low branches or from the air and working that magical neck. Lots of fun. I’ll be offline for a bit but wanted to wish everybody a wonderful New Year. See you in ’25! (Butorides virescens) (Sony a1ii, 400mm, f/2.8, 1/3200, ISO 1600)
Sometimes I decide to take a walk to find inspiration and to discover the beauty of urban growth. I know it's a bit early to search for actual flowers, but I did discover some Winter plants in full bloom. Perhaps the early warm days without snow has made nature wake up. This week I have also been hearing birds chirp at 6am..perhaps in a hunt for a female!
I wish a lovely Friday and coming weekend to all my friends. Thank you so much for your support and astonishing comments!!

This tree perched on the edge of the sandstone cliffs at Roslin Glen decides to shed some of its snow into the Esk as the sun beats down from the other side. The backlight on the snow gives the oak a coral effect. For a minutes or so all the trees were getting in on the act here dropping their snow into the river.
Was deciding for a while whether or not I should get the Belle mini animator doll set, but finally decided to get her! She's super adorable! Although I thought the set could be better. But, oh well :)
L'union des sociétés de développement de Lausanne (USDL) a décidé de marquer l'entrée dans le troisième millénaire par la réalisation de la Tour de Sauvabelin. Cette tour construite en bois massif local dans un esprit de respect de l'environnement permet à tout un chacun d'admirer le magnifique panorama s'étendant sur les hauts de Lausanne. Les 302 marches de la tour de Sauvabelin sponsorisées par de nombreuses entreprises locales vous permettront d'accéder au sommet en toute sécurité après un effort régénérateur. La Tour de Sauvabelin est ouverte au public depuis le 15 décembre 2003.
Quelques chiffres intéressants :
hauteur de la tour : 35 mètres
la plate forme supérieur se situe à plus de 30 mètres, c'est à dire nettement au-dessus de la cime des arbres environnants
diamètre de la base : 12 mètres
diamètre de la plate forme supérieure : 8 mètres

This is the last shot of a series of three I took in de dunes of Ameland, a beautiful Dutch island. I took them at the same spot, but from slightly different angles. At that moment I couldn't decide which composition was the best, I still can't.......maybe I doesn't matter.....

When deciding upon a single photo form a series of takes, some folks will like stuff others don't. I'm usually wrong about which photo people will like best, and by this time I should just learn to distrust myself (or simply not care). But both of those things come hard to me, so here is another horse photo.

Lisa decides her cub, Sasha, has some schmutz on his face and gives it a good cleaning. Sasha seems none too pleased, but somehow endures. :)
Sasha was born six months ago on March 3, 2020 at Brookfield Zoo near Chicago. Amur Leopards are critically endangered with only 65 left in the wild now, so every cub that is born is precious. This is nine year old Lisa's fourth cub - all males!
And they were great playing together. Lisa is an awesome mom.
Schmutz, btw is a great, evocative word meaning 'that gunk on your face,' or more simply 'dirt.' It came to us out of middle German, through Yiddish, into American slang.
Tech note: The habitat for the Amur Leopards at Brookfield Zoo is difficult for cameras to deal with since there is netting/fencing everywhere, and in the morning, the sun backlights everything - so the fences are very apparent in any captures. Before the pandemic, we were able to get close to some large panes of glass, which, along with matting techniques, allow for some great images (see my stream for some of those). But now, they are blocked off, so we can't get close enough to the glass to prevent reflections. For this shot, I was able to find a new angle that was not backlit, but was through not one, but _two_ fences. Fortunately for this shot, with some DoF magic, I could make the fences disappear. :)

Since deciding that drawing with pencils was something I should do, I have been sharing my work with you' This is the last one for now - I must motivate myself to get away from the camera and computer more often!
The start of my 2 day trip to the Lakes I’d planned to first stop off at Ashness to get photo of the iconic bridge, but then decided to head up higher and get a scenic view of Derwent water, as Ashness Bridge would be to dark early doors. So I set out from home at 4:30 am and arrived at surprise view car park at 7:00 am. Given that sunrise was not until 8:30 am it was still pretty dark, so I settled down in the car and fell straight asleep as the next thing I knew it was after 7:30. I got myself organised and started to look for a better POV that surprise view presented, as did not like the overgrowth which would encroach on the right-hand side. With head torch on I tried to find Gower crag, but nothing looked promising so I headed back to Surprise view as the dawn colour started to show in the sky. On taking my photo my first instinct was right so decide a better bet would be to shoot a panorama. So here is a 6 photo stitch of said panorama.

Like many trucks at Dave's Old Truck Rescue in Sprague, WA, this truck can't decide what color it wants to be.
The gals decide to take a road trip to the elusive Lake Michigan where they heard there was a lot of water and the weather was cooler.
On the way there, they had many adventures, including Very Big Creatures!
Hobby was not bothered at all and did some evasive maneuvers and all was good. She said Mickey's car had great handling.

This would be the last frame my camera would take before the shutter deciding to fail in the middle of the Appalachias. I had to run to the nearest Walmart and buy their most expensive Canon to use for the rest of the trip. Unfortunately, due to this camera failure this would be the only shot I'd get of this spotless 70Mac.
