My dark red 'Oklahoma' hybrid tea-rose.

A secret treasure in my rose garden here in the Hills District of Sydney. 'Oklahoma' is a super fragrant rose.

Photographed duing one of the summer thunderstorms that have besieged Sydney in recent times.

So here are 'The Beatles' with their mega famous song 'Love Me Do' released in 1963. It was the band's first ever song!!

AND, amazingly, 1963 was the very year that the rose 'Oklahoma' was born - created by Herbert Swim and O. L. Weeks at the Oklahoma State University, in the USA.

It is my Miss 17's most favourite rose. And she also sings 'Love Me Do', even though the lyrics are from 1963, and a lifetime away from her world of Tik Tok and ChatGPT.

But the simple message of love transcends time and resonates with her as she begins her own quest for love!!

"Love me do

Someone to love

Somebody new

Someone to love

Someone like you"

- by John Lennon & Paul McCartney

existem vários moinhos de maré no Seixal,relíquias que deliciam o olhar,junto deste moinho,está a casa do moleiro,estes homens faziam a farinha para o pão,nada fuciona,mas alguem aproveitou esta velha casa,e fez daqui o seu lar,de maneira bem portuguesa tem á porta as tradicionais sardinheiras,e plantou hortelã,que perfuma o ar e nos faz derreter de carinho por esta reliquia Seixal,Portugal

Do not forget to say goodbye, to give a caress before going to work.

Never forget to love who you want

Do not forget that time passes, that today will become

in tomorrow with the passing of the hours.

Do not forget that it is not always easy, that sometimes one is wrong.

Don't forget that not everything is perfect, that dark days suddenly appear.

Maybe everything is summed up in being when you have to be, in staying with someone who makes you smile even when you don't want to, maybe everything is never forgetting who remembers you every day.

Do not forget.

Revisando fotos de viajes pasados en estos momentos de confinamiento domiciliario, no puedo dejar de volver una y otra vez al viaje a Azores de abril de 2019.

Todavía me sorprendo aprendiendo cosas de aquellos días, repasando esa maravillosa combinación de soledad y belleza natural.

A Lagoa do Fogo llegué un mal día climatológicamente hablando. No paraba de llover, y salir a hacer las pocas fotos que hice desde el mirador supuso terminar completamente empapado. Pero recuerdo como me quedé sin palabras y sin aliento cuando salí del coche y contemplé este paisaje del que os hago ahora partícipes.

La excursión de esa mañana se había alargado, también por la lluvia, y a este mirador llegué algo más tarde de lo previsto, por lo que aquel día la comida fue más bien comida-merienda.

Cuando me bajé del coche, un grupo de amigos, también españoles, me facilitaron la labor de retratarme con esta maravilla de fondo. Y me sacaron alguna que otra carcajada con sus chistes malos sobre la lluvia que nos mojaba. Más tarde, por la noche, recuerdo que se desató una terrible tormenta que amenazaba con destruir las paredes de mi alojamiento. Pero, como siempre, la tormenta pasó y no fue para tanto.

A shot of I've been reluctant to post for a long time now - not tack sharp etc. however I do like the almost disgusted look on one of the otters faces as it is covered in water while the other has a good shake. I think the one on the right is mum and the one doing the shakin' is one of 3 cubs.

You can press L but it's pushing it. Still it's amazing what a modern camera can do at iso 1250 and 250th/sec - and no VR.

every sighting and context is precious

When one encounters this species it is important to not stress them out or (if at all possible) to not ever flush them

They are a threatened species on Vancouver Island , coming here to attempt nesting after a long and exhaustive migration

There are times when, with extreme patience and care , they can be spotted and admired from a safe distance

That is when one can really appreciate the power of good lenses (camera & optical)

With all but a couple barns stored or retired, getting one leading anymore is just not possible, especially in the US where they seem to be impossible to find. Back in 2019, they were getting scarce, but still often enough to not worry me. In 2021, the barns are gone, and so is the simple, but still neat split rail fence that separated the tracks from the parking lot where you could sit and wait for the next train in downtown Haslett.

Today's Science Lesson: though this rattlesnake -- common in the Ozarks, but not on our property -- seems to be napping, as the weather cools it becomes sluggish and stays near its winter hibernaculum, usually a small cave on wooded hillsides. Most snakes in Missouri, however, go into brumation, a slowing metabolism, so on warmer days might briefly appear. We see more common and non-poisonous garter snakes, kingsnakes, black and rat snakes and almost no rodents, thanks to our slithery neighbors.

Do you know how it feels like to have you around me?

Aerial daredevil Sean D. Tucker performs as part of Team Oracle during a 2018 airshow in Ypsilanti, Michigan. As I recall, this stunt involved a ribbon that was held between the two banners, which Tucker then broke with his low-flying biplane. If you look closely, you can see the red ribbon caught and trailing behind the top left wing.

Thought I'd better give the nature lover theme a break and return to city night shots. This was taken back at the start of January, on the north bank of the Thames, underneath the Millenium bridge.
