Wheels That Don't Turn, Fires That Don't Burn....Wonderful albums, and music by Jimmy Webb. Camelot!
It was probably around 10 months ago now that I took a vested interest into woodland photography. Looking back this was probably brought about through the changing of the seasons and some very inspirational shots I had seen from some prominent and some not so prominent photographers.
It was also about this time that I noticed my photography in genral was shifting, I was no longer trying to compete against shots I had seen on social media or forever chasing that elusive colorful sunrise or sunset (I still do chase these from time to time, mainly in winter when the trees have retired there foliage) instead I was paying more attention to smaller details and how things came together in shape and form. One thing woodland photography isn't is easy, far from it in fact. A lot of my early attempts at woodland photography left me with nothing but frustration. How was it these photographers made it look so easy? I would find what I thought was a great looking characterful tree take some shots of it and the images on review would be lifeless and I just didn't get it, what was I doing wrong? I think I am slowly beginning to have some thought on how to answer this question and hopefully this image is testimony to that.

It is extremely sad to witness puffins resorting to using fishing line to construct their nests. This highlights the impact of human activity on the natural world and the dangerous consequences of littering. The use of fishing line puts the birds' lives at risk and has serious consequences for the puffin and its offspring, including entanglement, injury, and death. It is crucial that we all take responsibility for preserving the environment and its inhabitants by disposing of waste properly and reducing our reliance on harmful materials.
Yes, it was beautiful whilst it lasted but the snow is already all gone and we are now back to our more typical rainy, mild weather.
Have a wonderful new week!

Praying for Better Days!
The steam was so intense, I was here for probably twenty minutes before I even realized there was a man in the water.

Taken @ Frontenac Park. This was taken one week after the last photo of Big Salmon lake. The colors are more muted and the light was fading. But the sky was awesome!
To my friend Tio
In the beginning I thought
he leaves me out in the rain
in the pouring rain
and you thought the same about me
I know
but there where some hints
some indications
eventually the rain stopped
just for a moment ?
a change to the better?
I was in the mist
I tried to peer through the fog
and I poked about in a fog
leaving somebody out in the cold
can produce fog
to cut a long story short
I found a valuable friend
or did he find me?
I think we both did the job
and this was good!

Blood starts to bubble, brain starts to fry
And I'm staring at myself with dilated eyes
Something inside me, spark that just won't die
No matter how hard I pray away, no matter how I try
Well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side
But Heaven don't need more angels and you just need more time
She says, well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side
But I just want you here tonight, tonight
World starts to crumble, blade starts to cry
Lilith's wandering in her mind like a ghost in denial
Something inside me, spark that just won't die
No matter how hard I pray away, no matter how I try
Well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side
But Heaven don't need more angels and you just need some time
She says, well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side
But I just want you here tonight, tonight
But I just want you here tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)
Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)
Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)
Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)
Oh, tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)
Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)
Oh, tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)
Tonight, tonight (Tonight, tonight)
Tonight
Well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side
But Heaven don't need more angels and
She says, well, if we go out, we'll be side-by-side
But I just want you here tonight, tonight
Tonight

Fishermen are a hardy bunch. On this grim gray day, there they were at the end of the pier. Whether they caught anything I do not know, but they enjoyed the time spent with friends.

"We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us." - E. M. Forster

I'm impressed that there was still a bee humming around yesterday and still collecting pollen so late into the season.
It was the only (live) bee I saw yesterday and even though the wind was being a little over enthusiastic, I felt determined so I fired away and ended up with this one, which I think turned out pretty good!
Didn't have time yesterday to comment or upload, so I'll catch up today. Yesterday was just too busy and I had to rush after work to hit the road.
Anyway, hope everyone has had a good day.

This is the interior of the Catholic Church in Our Lady of the Rocks island, which s adorned with Byzantine-style paintings, including frescoes depicting religious scenes and local folklore, and features a main altar made of Carrara and Corinthian marble by Antonio Capellano.
It houses a revered icon of Mary and Christ painted by Lovro Dobričević and contains votive objects, including maritime artifacts and an 1828 embroidery made from silk, gold, silver thread, and human hair, which reportedly took 25 years to complete.
It is unique in every respect and it only conveys the dedication of people, who not only kept faith in God, but also dedicated every piece of art they could learn in their lives.

With faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve - Quaid-i- Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Quaid-e-Azam Residency (Urdu: قائد اعظم ریزڈنسی—Qāʾid-e Aʿẓam Rẹziḋinsī), also known as Ziarat Residency, is located in Ziarat, Balochistan, Pakistan. It is where Quaid-e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah spent the last two months and ten days of his life. It is the most famous landmark of the city, constructed in 1892 during the British Raj. The building is a wooden structure, originally designed as a sanatorium before being converted into the summer residence of the agent of the Governor General. It is declared a national monument and heritage site and is of great architectural importance.
On 15 June 2013, the Residency was targeted with rockets by terrorists and badly damaged.
However, it has been reconstructed and opened to public since 14 August 2014.
Jinnah is one of my ideals and is a symbol of dedication in the history of Indo-Pak subcontinent, today is his birthday.

My local fishery has a few ponds, the one with the men fishing had a tiny area free from ice and these two dedicated souls were doing what they enjoy, as i was doing what i enjoyed.
There are many things to observe and photograph in the south Florida rookeries during the winter. Many of our birds begin their courtship, breeding, and nesting season. It's a thrill to observe. At this time, they are usually sporting their nicest plumage and often are exhibiting quite affectionate behavior.
One of the most thrilling to photograph is the great blue heron. Possessing an impressive wingspan when flying, they make everyone take notice. Such grace and beauty in motion, but it's when they return with the most carefully chosen stick to add to add to the nest that you can truly appreciate them. The male will fly in, land at the nest. offer it to its mate, they jockey it back and forth a bit, carefully place it in the exact spot for which it was intended, then usually celebrate that addition to the nest. Often they will intertwine their necks and look towards one another, almost as if to make a heart shape. I know that sounds weird, but those of you who have witnessed this behavior, know what I'm talking about. Sure they may squabble from time to time, but you know that they're union is strong. :-)
Thanks so much for stopping by to view. Happy hump day as well.
