Generational differences. And the color palette of the older two bench warmers.
Bath, England.
British Isles.
A proud grandma posting what her 8 year old grand-daughter thinks about making a difference in life for a school assignment.
The difference between staring at the ocean from behind a window frame
and looking into his eyes of deep from the foamy shoreline, feet naked;
the difference between the sky seen in an astronomy software display
and the summer dome where thousands of millions of glimmering stars shine;
the difference between the glimpse of an image of a mountain snowy trail
and the whiplashing wind when it pairs like a bourdon the shoes rhythm
while you get step after step closer to the crown of fiery rocky peaks.
The difference between a cd and a concert,
between drop and hammering rain,
between a fob and a chain.
The difference between the memory of a voice
and that voice itself,
between a verse found once on a screen
and an old dusty book on an old dusty shelf.
The difference between morning and night,
wheel and plough,
aliveness and life,
simple air and heady oxygen,
a thunderclap and the Jupiter's big red storm.
Or a love and our Love.

THORNWICK Bay...(pronounced Thornick... welcome to Yorkshire, lol)
Thornwick Bay derives it's name from "Thor" the God of Thunder because of the roar of the breaking waves on the rocks during a North Easterly gale which pounds the magnificent cliffs.
In the winter when the winds are strong and the weather is bad, when the waves hit the rocks, foam and spray blows up the cliff and over the cafe, but thankfully most people come to visit in the Spring, Summer and Autumn months when the weather is much calmer, and people can sit on the cliff top and admire the fantastic scenery and watch the sun reflect off the brilliant white chalk cliffs which have been cleaned by the winter storms over thousands of years.
The stretch of water North of the Lighthouse was named 'the graveyard' by the skippers and crew of sailing vessels which once they had lost the safety of Bridlington Bay, and without the aids of navigation and weather forecasting which we now take for granted, were at the mercy of the angry weather, Marine charts show hundreds of wrecks all within a few miles radius of Thornwick bay.
A great many people visit Thornwick Bay each year to enjoy wonderful cliff top walks observing the abundance of seabirds including Puffins, Guillemots and Kittiwakes etc.
Always you have the 'risk-takers' who will venture and walk the very narrow and crumbly ridge to get to the furthest point.
Do you spot this one?
Have a lovely day and thank you, as always, M, (*_*)

Manipulations of my own photograph(s) combined with sampling and manipulations of my own previous abstract work using IfanView and Photoshop Elements.
This shot was taken last Sunday. I just started to shot RAW, then finally realized the vast difference between the JPEG and the RAW in quality. Its true that things comes by the time, by trying every single feature on the camera, thus, getting the ideal photograph.
This the best foundation garment I've found to make a difference. I've had mine let out at the hips (I want my bum to be bigger not smaller!) and has six buttons with buttonholes made to connect my Rago longline bra to the girdle to avoid ride up (once called corset govenors). The girdle, bra overlap of about 5", almost makes my tummy dissapear! The narrow bottom ensures one is alway aware of the slight constriction and stride control. My mistress of long ago, insisted on proper foundations (laced garments then) with no days off (one in wash, one in the drawer and one on, the cost was considerable but Madame insisted on me buying them. As Madame said "you'll thank me later" and She was right! Madame was adamant Her maid must be properly presented at all times. Madame imposed the high waisted, longline combination early in my training and it took a long time to get used to and become "girdle dependent". Can you image long days of housework in garments so designed to constrict?
The difference in the structure of this spider web and the one on the previous image is quite striking - 2D vs. 3D...
Obviously, both strategies work for the makers of the webs.
Harlequin ladybirds (left) are noticeably larger than most species of native British ladybirds like the two-spot on the right.
The New Zealand fantail (Rhipidura fuliginosa) is a small insectivorous bird, the only species of fantail in New Zealand. It has four subspecies: R. f. fuliginosa in the South Island, R. f. placabilis in the North Island, R. f. penita in the Chatham Islands, and the now-extinct R. f. cervina formerly on Lord Howe Island.
It is also known by its Māori names, pīwakawaka, tīwakawaka or piwaiwaka, and the Chatham Island subspecies by the Moriori name tchitake; the common pied morph is also known as pied fantail (not to be confused with the Malaysian or Philippine pied fantails), and the uncommon dark morph is also known as black fantail (not to be confused with the black fantail of New Guinea).
The species has been considered by many to be conspecific (the same) as the grey fantail of Australia and New Caledonia; however, due to significant differences in its calls, many authorities now treat it as a separate species.
This fantail is mid to dark grey or grey-brown above, yellowish/orange below, with a dark band across the chest below a white throat, white markings over the eye, and (depending on the race) either white-edged or entirely white outer tail feathers.
It grows to 16 cm (6.3 in) in length, of which half is the tail, which, as the name implies, is often displayed fanned out. This reveals that the outer tail feathers are light and the centre ones are dark. Some subspecies are found in a darker plumage, notably the "black fantail" morph seen in 4% of South Island birds and less than 1% of North Island birds (it is completely absent from the Chatham Islands).
The black morph lacks the white areas and so is dark all over apart from a white spot behind the eye. Fantails are also famous worldwide for their fan-shaped tail.
Juveniles are similar to the adults but have a browner body and indistinct body markings.
This image was taken at Zealandia in Wellington, on the southern tip of the North Island of New Zealand.
No big difference, no flights from both terminals @ Shanghai Pudong airport. Typhoon Chan-hom is the cause...
The bristle cleaning brush as a metaphor for the world.
On the left a 1970's or 1980's bristle cleaning brush. On the right a 2018 brush.
In the past? Good solid wood, lots of strong bristles. This brush will last you some cleaning and then some. The brush on the right, a feeble excuse for a brush, almost no wood to hold on to and bristles my eyebrows can put to shame. This one was only used about 3 times!
It's a metaphor for the quality from the 70's.
Pink Foot vs Greylag. Thought there was a vagrant Pink Foot in with the Greylags at College Lake and eventually he came close enough to be sure. 1st time I've seen one this far inland.

C. --- Have you been on the internet lately? [she says as she open's up her laptop]
R. --- No! Ever since I found out everyone thinks I'm "Bangs" I...
C. ---"Bangs"?
R. --- Yeah, that's her name now... But ever since I found out people think she's me I just could not bare to read their stupid comments. I heard they were on there saying things like...
C. --- [she reads from the internet...] "She's never looked better"...
R. --- Yeah and...
C. --- "Those bangs really cover up her massive forehead, she should have cut them back when she was on LITDH"
R. --- They're so stupid! We don't even look anything alike.
C. --- [she looks at her with side eyes and says...] Really?
R. --- We barely share a passing resemblance.
C. --- If I didn't know the truth I'd think Rachel was....
R. --- Who?
C. --- "Bangs"...If I didn't know the truth I'd think "Bangs" was your twin.
R. --- Well thankfully you know the truth! And soon the rest of the world will too.
C. --- How?... When?... What did you do?
R. --- I simply had a nice chat with Valerie when she was at F2K yesterday and I explained the whole situation to her.
C. --- Really?... What did you say?
R. --- I just told Val that "Bangs" and I were two different people... And then I told her that she's a nobody who's brother is a former con artist... And that she probably had her plastic molded to look like me because she's some crazed super-fan.
C. --- Quell!
R. --- What? It's all true!
C. --- That is not all true... [she thinks to herself for a second] Well, some of it's true but...
R. --- But nothing... It's all going to be in Val's next V. Blast!
C. --- And when's that gonna be?
R. --- It'll probably be up by the time we get to Drew's apartment....

What a difference a few days makes...
A wildfire on the western end of Buck Pond started around 3:00 this afternoon and raced to the southern end of the pond by 6:30 when I shot this photo.
Neighborhoods were evacuated, roads were closed and smoke was seen for miles. Fortunately there were no injuries or property damage and the sunset was spectacular.
The photo below is from the same spot this past Thursday...
