we see a Robin
taking a dip
feathers clean
quite serene
it's you and me
We leave the waters of life
washed and renewed
the start of a new day
like the fresh morning dew
gone are our woes
those past mistakes
goodbye to resentments of foes
forgiveness thru grace
awaits those whose taste
yearn for a better way
a new start without haste
yet mankind holds fast
to our past with their own bags of waste
they want us to pay
so they prey and they prey
no forgiveness is granted
no shelter allowed
in a world full of data
a world belonging
a mad hatter longing
it's a world full of gloom
no room no broom
can sweep clean
that is a false floor
with a big trap door
do not allow it
to be your
never more
step out of those waters
and know something more
the true door
is in your heart your soul
forever more.
Despite it's name this gull is quite rare in most parts of the UK.
Fortunately on the west coast of Scotland we have them in abundance.

Having just crossed the Scottish border and the sun having dipped, Stanier rebuilt 'Royal Scot' 4-6-0 no.46115 ‘Scots Guardsman’ skirts the North Sea at Lamberton with the RTC’s York-Edinburgh ‘Edinburgh Christmas Market’ tour.
Not a canoe but dedicated to Dean anyway. I shot this through some grasses to get the near bokeh-like effect.

Watching these guys forage is like watching a ballet...

It’s rumoured that this was used to cleanse coins before transactions were made in plague ridden times. I don’t think I’ve touched real money in a year so in some ways it could be seen as an ancient alternative to Apple Pay.

Scotland and we discover Loch Lubnaig, a nice spot for a break, in between two showers... we are to get a lot of images.
Loch Lubnaig is a small freshwater loch near Callander in the Stirling council area, Scottish Highlands.
It lies in the former county of Perthshire.
It is part of the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park.
It is around 5 km long, and has depths of up to 44.5 metres.
The loch nestles in the space between Ben Ledi and Ben Vorlich.
Fed by the River Balvaig from the north and drained by the Garbh Uisge to the south, Loch Lubnaig offers fishing from the shore while canoes can be rented at the north end.
Alternatively, two car parking areas on the east shore offer perfect, albeit sometimes busy, canoe launching points.
But as it is raining, we are in luck, not many people around and, aaahhh, silent!
A golden Autumn branch decorates my view.
Hope that this will make you smile and have a wonderful Monday and thanks for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

A Yellow-jumped Warbler ( Audubon's) is thinking about a second dip after already enjoying one.
Did you know that the Yellow-rumped Warbler is divided into four forms?
The one shown is a Audubon's Warbler and breeds in western North America. Males sport a yellow throat and gray head and chest.
The Myrtle form breeds in eastern and norther north America. The male's white throat distinguishes it from the three other forms, along with other differences.
The Black-fronted warblers look like the Audubon's warblers but males have a dark face and breast. They live in Mexico and are nonmigratory.
The fourth but not least, the Goldman's Warbler males have a yellow throat bordered in white, and are nearly black on the head and ches. They live in Guatemala and are nonmigratory.
In Friesach in Kärnten gibt es noch eine erhaltene Bäckertauche. Im Mittelalter wurden Bäcker, die ihr Brot in minderwertiger Qualität herstellten, bestraft, indem man sie in einen Käfig sperrte und einige Male unter Wasser tauchte.
In Friesach in Carinthia there is still a preserved baker's dip. In the Middle Ages, bakers who produced bread of inferior quality were punished by being locked in a cage and dipped under water several times.

On this one I used the sun peaking through the shade at a medium slow shutter speed 1/40 second to make little squiggly lines in the water ripples from the sun's reflection on the water, this is done in bright afternoon light in the shade, now you know how to do this trick,
it's about imagination and the love of light, break free, feel the light. you can do anything with a camera, get a idea in your head and then figure out how to do it, and bring it to life, might take a few try's, learn what went wrong as you attempt your creation, and end up with the image you wanted, it is not magic, it is you. be yourself, and use the light
A Water Dragon* enjoys a dip amongst the Water Lilies. Only the back of its head and part of its body are visible near the stalks of the Lilies.
* The Australian water dragon, which includes the eastern water dragon and the Gippsland water dragon subspecies, is an arboreal agamid species native to eastern Australia from Victoria northwards to Queensland. There may be a small introduced population on the south-east coast of South Australia.

"dipping a toe" old habits die hard when the temperature of the water where you live is often 12-14 C and southern ocean, not required in the lovely 27 C Fijian waters.
The Dipping Stone on Whaley Moor is an example of an early medieval wayside cross which also functioned as a boundary marker. Though lacking its shafts and cross heads, it is reasonably well preserved and is important as one of the regional group of twin-socketed wayside crosses which also includes the Bow Stones and Robin Hood's Picking Rods.
