My enthusiasm for poppies reawakens every year. I heared about this location near me, and I was thrilled. I can now visit and photograph the poppy field whenever I want to and shoot in different light conditions.

They say that Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.
If true or not it doesn't matter because all of this is what I wish to you, dear Flickr friends, in the beginning of one more week, a very special week in some parts of the world ;)

Neuschwanstein embodies both the contemporaneous architectural fashion known as castle romanticism, and King Ludwig II's enthusiasm for the operas of Richard Wagner. At the time of King Ludwig's death the palace was far from complete. He slept only 11 nights in the castle.

It had been a fairly miserable few days. Wet, cold and cloudy. With our food tied up in the tree’s to keep it away from the mice and nothing other than cooking noodles and soup to keep ourselves occupied we were praying that the clouds would lift and the stunning Cerro Tore would hurry up and appear.
Check out the video on my facebook page: www.facebook.com/jaydaleyphotography
After a very cold and uneventful few days we got what we came for.
It was early in the morning and absolutely freezing – I unzipped my tent to look up. A sky full of STARS. The clouds were gone.
In a rush of enthusiasm, I hurried around and shook the other tents “It’s on, it’s on”. The next thing we knew and we were exactly where we had been hoping to be – beside this beautiful glacial lake with Cerro Tore reaching high into a clear night sky above us.

For days I've been waiting for some sun and nice warm spring light to devote myself to the spring flowers that have just appeared.
What do I get instead ? rain ... for days.
But when I was in my garden earlier, my frustration turned to enthusiasm when I saw how the raindrops had enchanted everything.
Here you can see, for example, moss that has grown on the border of the garden path. The longest stems are about 2cm high and I stacked 19 shots to show as many waterdrops as possible. Now my knees are wet and dirty and I am happy and satisfied.
Seit Tagen warte ich auf etwas Sonne und schönes warmes Frühlingslicht um mich den gerade aufgetauchten Frühlingsblumen zu widmen.
Was bekomme ich stattdessen ? Regen ... tagelang.
Doch als ich vorhin in meinem Garten war wandelte sich meine Frustration in helle Begeisterung als ich gesehen habe, wie die Regentropfen alles verzaubert haben.
Hier seht ihr zum Beispiel Moos, welches auf der Begrenzung des Gartenweges gewachsen ist. Die längsten Stengel sind ungefähr 2 cm hoch und ich habe 19 Aufnahmen gestapelt, um so viele Wassertropfen wie möglich sichtbar zu machen. Jetzt habe ich nasse und schutzige Knie und bin glücklich und zufrieden.

The winter and the cold wave came to Switzerland.
With this picture I did not make it easy for me. At first I really could not decide which photo to put on flickr. I wrestled with myself, because I would like to present the most beautiful photo for my friends here. Secondly, the picture was made under very difficult external conditions, because it was really "bitterly cold". I could barely touch my hands after photographing and yet I wanted to get a nice photo of these beautiful ice crystals. I succeeded, more or less, because the background was not ideal for that. In addition, my faithful friend Roco had to wait for me and there I no longer want to start one try after another. This time I did not want to make any compromises with the warm colors of the picture, because the cold should be very touchable. I believe this has succeeded with this picture. I am fascinated by this "little work of art". Each little detail is a miracle of creation, because it was shaped by the elements of nature and radiates its brilliance as long as this nature allows.
I am grateful for these little things without which life would not be so beautiful and interesting.
Rejoice over the elements of nature.
Erwin
I thank you all for the interest and enthusiasm for my work here. I am happy about every comment from you and every time you like my pictures. Thank you very much for all the favorites and for watching my photos.
Small supplement of today:
The winter has caught up with me too, for I am terribly cold. Nevertheless, or just because of this, I am looking forward to every single word from you. Also, I always see in the little things, which makes the importance and beauty of life. Wish all of you a blessed time, without illness and with much love and joy. Hope you can all be in a nice warm place, because outside it is extremely cold here. Brrrrrr .....
....first there was darkness till i created the night, first there was darkness and darkness was right. darkness is moving into the light...

Infusiasm = enthusiasm for infusion.
This little tea infuser is definitely fit for purpose. I was fixated on coffee for about 24 hours and then switched my choice for the MM theme at the eleventh hour. Actually, it is quite literally the eleventh hour - well past and catapulting towards midnight. So enough with the babble and on with the brew. HMM to you all!
TAKEN FROM THE NORTHERN ECHO.
In these days when statues are toppling on a daily basis, Darlington should say a word in praise of Mr Pease who stands on a plinth in High Row.
In 2008, this statue, erected in 1875, was one of 21 across the country to have their listing schedules enhanced because of their importance to the anti-slavery movement.
Four friezes on Joseph Pease’s plinth tell his life story. On one of those friezes, a slave writes the word “freedom” above the heads of a rejoicing crowd.
The Peases were Quakers, who believed that all people were equal before God. Joseph’s uncle, also called Joseph, lived at Feethams where the Town Hall is today, and from the earliest years of the 19th Century, he led a national campaign against slavery in India.
He fired his daughter, Elizabeth, with enthusiasm for the cause of fairness, and she founded the Darlington Ladies Anti-Slavery Society in the mid-1830s – it was one of the first women’s political movements in the country.
In 1840, Elizabeth was one of six women to attend the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London where, to her horror, she discovered that because she was female she was not only forbidden from speaking but she had to sit behind a bar and a curtain. This unfairness fired her further and she became a feminist, arguing that women should be equal also.
In 1853, though, she married a Glasgow university professor of astronomy who was not a Quaker. “Marrying out” was still frowned upon and so broke ties with Darlington and lived the rest of her life in Edinburgh, campaigning for women to get the vote.
In 1832, Elizabeth persuaded her cousin Joseph to break with Quaker tradition and stand for Parliament so he could further the cause of anti-slavery. He won the South Durham seat, and became the first nonconformist MP in the Commons for 200 years.
Joseph joined fellow MP William Wilberforce in campaigning to free slaves.
In his longest speech, Joseph appealed to other MPs "on behalf of their poor brethren of colour whose sufferings under the present system were of a nature to stimulate every feeling bosom to concede to them a paramount consideration”.
The speech covers 40 pages in Hansard, the Parliamentary record, and as Joseph delivered it, he became increasingly wrapped up in the emotion of it, much to the delight of the Whig MPs opposite him.
Hansard records: "He felt the inadequacy of his powers in pleading such a cause. (Here, the hon gentleman was so affected he was obliged to pause for a moment. Much cheering.)
"The house will pardon me (concluded Mr Pease) for having so long trespassed upon their attention. I am unable to go on. But when the great and solemn day shall come, when I shall myself stand in need of mercy, I hope it will be meted to me in the same measure as I am disposed to mete it to others."
Despite the ridicule, Joseph's speech was widely regarded by anti-slavery campaigners as for providing moral justification for the cause, and the Abolition of Slavery Act received Royal Assent on August 28, 1833.
Unfortunately, Wilberforce never lived to see it – he died a month earlier, just as the Stockton & Darlington Railway was taking delivery of its engine No 23.
The Wilberforce engine crossing the Gaunless.
It was designed by Timothy Hackworth, but had been built by Robert Stephenson & Co in Newcastle. It was a major step forward for the railway: Locomotion No 1 of 1825 had been able to pull 250 tons of coal per mile per hour but locomotive No 23 was able to pull 1,250 tons of coal per mile per hour, and it was the first engine in the dark green paint that the S&DR then adopted for all of its locos.
No 23 was named Wilberforce in honour of the anti-slavery campaigner.

Her enthusiasm and tactics were nothing less than olympian.
Something silly from the archives.
Have a fun weekend, even if you don't go shopping.

No idea what this evisceration is/was, it was rolled and folded and covered in sand so many times it was beyond regognition. I thank the sea gods for that:)
When Tofu was sick he had to stay indoors for weeks but the weather wasn't great at the time anyway. Now it is sunny and he is allowed to go out again and stalk THE BIRDS. Tofu is happy but I'm pretty sure that his feathered friends don't share his enthusiasm.

**I took some time last night to read what I could on the lives of each of the children and the teachers who died in the Uvalde Texas massacre. several of the news media posted pictures and short stories.
the children were born and lived with families who loved them for the short 10-11 years they were here. I thought it was the least I could do to celebrate their lives. I did the same with the 2 teachers.
it was hard reading and I cried a lot but it was my small way of honoring them and their families.
I would like to think that I'll never have to do this again.
I worry about the survivors. they saw things no one should have to see, and they are just little kids.
NO WARS.
NO KILLINGS.

As a follow up to the shot below I have been visiting the pair of swans and their 8 cygnets at least 2/3 times a week trying to obtain shots of the cygnets growth !
I had been feeding them in what would be the near bottom left-hand side of this photo ' when the Cob (Male) Swan just drifted away in the direction of the far side of the dock where they all often either roost, rest or just preen out of the water ! Drifting in the water as he waited for his family the low sun reflecting on the water caught my eye and whilst he is not quite as dark in shadow as I would have liked, I don't think the result is to bad for a 300mm telephoto' shot !
PETER:
A cry: Raaa-punnn-zelll
(Full of enthusiasm)
I can not believe it!
Scout...Scout.....You are absolutely right!!! I haven't been into the tower, but I'm sure Rapunzel lives there!
OLEG: Don't yell so loud, Peter. There are many people walking around here. What is it anyway.
PETER:
Scout said Rapunzel lives in the tower and he's right.
Just look up. Her braid hangs from the bell so the prince can climb up.
I haven't seen the prince yet, but I can be the prince for a while.
OLEG:
Peter....it's not Rapunzel's braid. It's a rope hanging from the bell. You can ring the bell with that.
PETER:
It's clearly a braid!
OLEG:
No, Peter, it's a rope. Rapunzel doesn't live in a lighthouse. If you don't want to believe me, you should ask Paddy.
OLEG: My allerbeste vriend Paddy:
I'm trying to make it clear to Peter that Rapunzel doesn't live in a lighthouse. He doesn't want to believe me.
I love you so much my beate friend!
Heeeeeel veel berenkusjes van Oleg
Many bear kisses from Oleg.
PETER:
Dear Scout.......Oleg doesn't want to believe that Rapunzel lives in the tower with her braid hanging there.
What do you think of it my best friend Scout
I wish you where here.
Ik wou dat je hier was
Ik mis je
Veel berenkusjes van Peter
En veel berenkusjes aan Daddy
Stay safe you all !
At sunrise on a cliff overlooking Lake Ontario, a newly-landed Nashville Warbler examines the rolled up leaves for insects.
This was one of about twenty species of Warbler that had arrived that morning, dozens of birds all pushing each other out of perceived ‘hot spots’ for bugs. The beneficiary of that push was anyone with a camera: in the early light, the birds dropped down out of the canopy in their search for food.
That meant that some of the more difficult birds to photograph, because of their fondness for the upper branches of trees, were accessible. This Nashville showed off its field marks that give it its French name: the grey cheeks were fully on display.
Oddly, at what was the peak of the spring migration in Prince Edward County, there were very few birders and few among them had cameras. The entire Prince Edward County National Wildlife Area, a large swath of shoreline and mixed habitats, was mostly without people.
As I have mentioned earlier, I had a few lifers on this visit, as well as a lot of fun, especially with my friend Paul. The enthusiasm of the spring migration was infectious, and everyone we did meet was friendly and sharing news of sightings.

*Working Towards a Better World
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
Never, never, never give up.
Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

...siiiigh...Initial enthusiasm waned quickly once DH started describing, opressive heat and humidity, crowded, 24 hours in transit each way, RAIN RAIN RAIN, lots of train rides and walking...they started dropping like flies...
...but...
...one hand slowly went up in the crowd...
