The Isola San Giorgio Maggiore has always intrigued me. It is definitely one of the iconic sights to see in Venice. The island has been occupied since 829 and the church, with its bell tower, was built in 1566. This was taken one morning as the sun began to rise over the beautiful historic city!!
I continue to be busy trying to lend support to a Presidential candidate here in the USA and getting ready for a new trip to India. Southern India will be my destination this time. I miss my daily contact with every one, but probably won't be back on schedule until sometime in March! I continue to appreciate your support and encouragement!!!

I know I am being anthropomorphic but it did appear that the peacock was admiring the roses. Taken at the David Austin rose gardens and nursery, Albrighton, Shropshire, England.
Thanks everyone for your kind support and encouragement.
Thank you, my flickr friends, for your support and encouragement, without which, there is no motivation for me to explore possibilities.

Light My Fire The Doors
On the edge of Custer Gallatin National Forest, near Livingston, MT. Aug 2019
What I wouldn't give for lush lands, a light rain, and balmy weather right now (Feb. 17, 2021) 😞
We had gone to the beach to photograph patterns of blown sand in the snow but instead, found ourselves on a totally bare sandy beach. Lot's of ice still out on the lake but the snow had gone in less than 24 hrs on the warm sunny day. While waiting to see what the sunset would present, three riders and their horses came down the beach. One of them, a very reluctant pinto (I think that's the horse breed) being ridden bareback, would not cross the stream with any amount of encouragement. Finally, one of the other riders came back across and splashed through again to show how it's done. With some very loud snorts and whinnies the pinto finally went through.
Shooting directly into the sun, which is something I'm not fond of doing, there was no time for fine tuning the camera settings for fear of missing the moment. I just went with what I had.
I will be away from this site until early in the new year. I wish everyone a happy and joyful Festive Season.
Thank you for the encouragement visitors to my photostream have provided with comments, favs and views. I have also enjoyed the many great pictures posted by FLICKR friends, my FLICKR followees and others posting on the site. Cheers.
Whispering encouragements into the Lamb's ear was all it had taken. Chaos watched as the Lamb opened the first seal, the fingers of her many hands playing along her staff accompanied by the soft metallic sounds of the lantern chain moving against the steel. Whether or not the female figure actually has a face beneath the inky black shroud is a question that has gone unanswered since the beginning.. A few more words are muttered but impossible to make out. Her voice, if that's what it was, came out like a soft breeze moving through the trees, and low enough that only the Lamb could hear them. Moments later the second seal is broken followed by the third...and then the fourth. The air grew heavy as the doors opened, each revealing a mounted figure looming out of the foggy darkness. The four moved toward Chaos, two taking up positions at each of her sides. Raising her right hands, the staff and chain clutched within the triple grip, she extends her arm forward. Not a word was spoken, but as the lantern swung slowly the four urged their mounts into a gallop. The apocalypse is a child of Chaos. It's siblings, Pestilence, War, Famine and Death were it's heralds. Riding far and wide they bestowed their gifts upon humanity, feeding Mother Chaos as they left countless mired in the mortal coil. Like a snowball rolling down a hill and growing with each revolution, so too will Chaos grow in the end of days.

Hebrews 6:17-18 New International Version (NIV)
17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. 18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged.

To give you a little encouragement in the midst of these horrific fires going on in Australia, meet one of the dogs saving koalas from Australian wildfires - a true story:
Thursday, January 9, 2020
As Australian wildfires endanger the lives of thousands of koalas, one dog is stepping up to save her fellow furry friends.
Taylor, a four-year-old English Springer Spaniel, is trained to sniff out koala fur and droppings, said her owner and professional dog trainer Ryan Tate.
To date, Taylor has rescued eight of the country's iconic marsupials from wildfires, which have destroyed more than 2,000 homes, claimed at least 26 human lives and potentially killed thousands of koalas.
Some of these animals were hospitalized, and others were taken to areas deemed safe, Tate said.
Tate and his skillful pup have been traveling along the east coast of Australia for nearly three years. Over her lifetime, Taylor has found more than 50 koalas.
Tate said when the air is still, koalas' scents descend from treetops to the ground, so when Taylor smells an animal, she will sit below a tree and point up.
In more difficult conditions, like the recent fires, she's also trained to find their droppings, and fresh poo is a good indicator that koalas are nearby.

To all my Flickr friends: Just wanted to let you know that I’ve decided to take a break from Flickr. I’ve been posting almost one photo a day for about seven years and really need to be doing some other things. My heartfelt thanks to you all for your encouragement and comments; they’ve meant so very much to me!

My first HDR attempt.
Single image, just adjusted different exposures in Picasa 3 and saved in three different files, each with a different exposure before working them out in Photomatix, then back to another software (Photo Explosion).
I ain't sure if what I did was right though.
My special thanks to Rodelicious for the encouragement.

Honestly, I just wanted to post this song more then anything :)
by Lamb "Gold"
(play is in the top right corner)
Stay with me forever and a day if I could be near you
For a lifetime Id never want for anything
Hearing your voice is like icicles down my spine
And touching your warm skin
Starts electric storms
Through my mind.
The mourning dove is a member of the dove family, Columbidae. The bird is also known as the American mourning dove, the rain dove, colloquially as the turtle dove, and it was once known as the Carolina pigeon and Carolina turtledove. Wikipedia
The dove's appearance to someone in mourning is often viewed as a visitation from the deceased loved one. The person in mourning senses a message of hope or encouragement from their deceased loved one. Others believe the mourning dove is a messenger sent by angels, spirit guides, or even God.
Thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.

even if the broth is still so dark and impenetrable, the good light still manages to be *reflected (even if only from a very thin surface) ... perhaps an encouragement for the present time ...
;-) ...
* "reflected", in German also stands for "to think about"...
selbst wenn die Brühe noch so dunkel und undurchdringlich ist, schafft es doch das gute Licht (wenn auch nur durch eine hauchdünne Oberfläche) hell reflektiert zu werden ... vielleicht eine Ermutigung für die heutige Zeit ...

I think this flower is gently pushing his shy buddy to go out and join the bunch. Go on! You can do it!! We all need a friend who will encourage us to be our best.

Smile on Saturday: Blue for You
Today is ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day. My thoughts and encouragements on this day go to all the people who suffer from that disease, but also those who struggle with mental or physical issues. Sometimes we wish there was a miracle solution, but there isn't... yet. Spreading awareness is the first step towards better understanding, research, treatment, support... and hopefully, eventually, getting better.

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”

TIME OF NO REPLY – NICK DRAKE
THIS IS THE SUMMER OF MY TRANSITION
The devil that was within me
that found me, then drowned me
could not withstand
the beauty of my love for him
the softness of my gentle hand
could not witness the words that I wrote
could not cope with love that gave him hope
he inhabited my soul and it choked him from within
now he scurries through the darkness
avoiding any last vestige of light; avoiding my eyes
he hides and he lies to rid himself of the truth
that he found within that last dance
he burned me, he scorned me, but then he adored me
he haunted my dreams and begged my return
but I found myself healing as I walked along the shore
the pace of my mind slowed; the peace of my mind showed
that at last I could let go and be myself once more
I walked in his shadow, until I found the light
before I lived like a shadow with no strength to fight
A poor tortured soul; I know how that feels
when love can't release him; thaw his soul cold as steel
Sometimes our love falls on stony ground
like the softness of rose petals and the hope that we once found
dashed against the rocks of life's lessons
deafened by the torment that resounds within our caissons
and lifts us up above the maelstrom of the storms
that threaten to define us and defile us; confine us
This is the summer of my transition
as I find my way back to the right path that heals me
I leave him far behind me; the nightmare recedes
now I sleep like an angel on clouds of soft dreams
and feel lucky that I am still here
amid the love of all my friends.
