C’era una volta una coccinella mangiona, ma così mangiona che, in breve tempo, diventò una coccinella cicciona.
La povera coccinella era tanto golosa quanto triste nel vedersi goffa e pesante, ma non resisteva alla tentazione di imitare tutte le esili coccinelle che incontrava, sperando, segretamente, di diventare come loro.
Un bel giorno, mentre dormicchiava su una margherita arancione, si accorse di alcune coccinelle che saltavano di fiore in fiore; le trovò così belle che volle subito imitarle ma, al primo tentativo di volo, finì subito per terra.
Adesso la coccinella cicciona e copiona era pure ammaccaticcia e dolorante, ma aveva preso un’importante decisione: non avrebbe mangiato MAI più.
Di lì a qualche giorno, mentre se ne stava accoccolata accanto ad un azzurro laghetto, morta di fame, triste e sempre cicciona, vide altre coccinelle che galleggiavano allegramente su di una verde foglia.
Anche questa volta provò il desiderio grandissimo di imitarle e anche questa volta fallì in pieno: un grosso tonfo riempì l’aria e la povera coccinella si ritrovò, senza sapere come, nelle fredde acque del laghetto.
- ”AIUTO, AIUTO!!” - gridava tra le lacrime mentre, con il cuore in gola, cercava di arrampicarsi su di un fuscello che le porgeva la sua verde manina....
La coccinella si era salvata e dalla brutta esperienza aveva capito che non è giusto imitare le altre coccinelle in quanto ognuno è bello nella sua diversità.
“Bisogna essere se stessi e cercare di esserlo sempre nella maniera migliore, non copiando gli altri ma cercando di perfezionarci sempre di più.” - pensò felice mentre si asciugava le lacrimucce e correva felice verso tanto buon mangiare.

American Black Bear (Ursus Americanus). This is the largest wild black bear I have ever seen. He was huge and while looking intimidating when looking at you he couldn’t have cared less about me taking his picture and strolled around eating cicadas.

it's my life and my decisions.

I was on top of a hill trying in vain to capture a sunset, but the lens flare was intense, so in a last minute decision, I started to wander around looking for a creative solution. I think I found one in this shot!
La noche se desgrana alrededor, con sus luces infinitas titilando en un espacio de oscuros pensamientos. Luces de faros en movimiento, plenamente convencidos de que llegarán a su destino, se funden y se atraviesan, deshojan la margarita de sus últimos sueños.
Lánguida y vaporosa, la melancolía resiste a otros sentimientos, hace que todo se encuentre con ella en la esquina de la oscuridad.
Huele a sentencia final, pero también a nostalgia, a ese aroma que tienen los deseos de nunca jamás... Sin embargo la noche siempre nos conmueve, nos vuelve hacia otro lado la mirada. Ella es todo lo que nos sobra y nos falta.
Mirar los últimos faros deambular por el rio de las calles, pendientes del hilo de su propia luz, conlleva frialdad, la aventura de atreverse a meter la mano en las entrañas y remover los recuerdos: las perfectas tardes en que nada pasaba y el tiempo dormía al borde del alero del tejado, donde sonaba mustia una cigarra. También aquello que tiene que ver con la soledad... Aquella tarde de agobiante calor, sin más techo que la sombra de una parra, solemne, plomiza, esperando el autobús... Aquel pájaro que calló fulminado por el calor en pleno vuelo y quedó allí, inerme, en medio de la calle, mientras todos callaban ausentes, heridos por su definitivo destino.
Los recuerdos le asaltaban en oleadas, callados tanto tiempo en el alma, sin saber qué había hecho hasta ese momento para sentirse inmensamente perdido nada más llegar...
¿Cómo había recalado allí? ¿Con qué propósito dejaba correr al tiempo tras la estela de una nube de la que no sabía nada? ¿Qué hacía en esa extraña ciudad que le oprimía el corazón por ajena, por imposible?
Un grito, una sirena, el silencio, luego la lluvia que deshace en neblina el horizonte de luces, casi hasta el infinito.
La imagen de Celia, dormida a miles de kilómetros, extrañándole triste, promueve el vacío torbellino que le urge por dentro; sin poder evitar arrepentirse del viaje, sin saber aún que la decisión sea acertada, quisiera deshacer el camino andado en un segundo, como si nada hubiera acontecido. ¿Para qué...?
Para continuar el lento transcurrir de los dias con el corazón agazapado de miedos...

Right before the run starts and right after the stretch completes is the perfect time to figure out what sort of music you are going to listen to while you run. I am wondering what the final decision was.

Actually it was very easy, the Cleric's Cure at 5% it had to be. A fabulous ale which greeted the palate like a long lost friend, and went down a treat - just what the good cleric would have ordered!
Based on the towel I am guessing he is looking for a place to swim, he is pretty safe here, we don't get a lot of the big alligators here and the other wildlife won't eat him.
A break from the decorating yesterday. It was a lovely start to the day we decided as the weather was good to take a trip into Worthing to get some bits and have a nice long walk along the promenade that might involve coffee.
The sky was looking good with lots of fluffy clouds floating about, there was me thinking this looks promising lets do sunset.
And then the cloud thickened wall to wall cloud thick as can be, I thought that`s, it write off any thoughts of a sunset. I kept an eye out to the South West all afternoon, then I spotted some bright patches around 3.45, knowing sunset was at 4.15 a decision had to be made there and then.
Go for it, I live about a seven minute drive from this spot, by the time I parked up crossed the Coast road and sorted of sprinted down the loose shingle to this spot I was able to fumble about put camera on tripod in a flash and get this first shot, phew, the photography gods were smiling at me as the tide dropped and clouds cleared even more to leave a gorgeous warm glow in the sky and on the wet sand, so yes there will be more to come, glad I made that decision.

It was a tough decision for me as to whether I should post a very abstract image to MM or more traditional. I posted two abstracts and two traditional sparkly gold ribbon images to my photostream, and decided to post one of the abstracts to Macro Mondays, as I thought it showed a more unique view of ribbon.
This hawk paused atop my grill to decide if it was safe to take its prey from down on my patio, eventually the answer was "yes" ...

Holiday tree decorations laid out for tree our Holiday tree trimming. Just a few of our hundred or so of potential decorations for our holiday tree. The grandkids still like to "help" trim our tree so we leave a significant number for them to do so.
