Hi, everyone. I'm really sorry I haven't been able to catch up with all of you lately...life has been hard, and I wasn't expecting the drastic and sudden changes on Flickr, which only today I could take the time to figure out. I had even decided to leave Flickr, but I'm going to persevere, cuz it's been such a big part of my life since 2008. Promise to ctach up with all of you very soon!
You might not expect to come upon a castle while visiting Spokane, but that is exactly what you will do if you visit the Spokane County courthouse. Most of us associate such architecture with romantic old castles in Europe, or perhaps something out of the world of Walt Disney or fairy tales. To find such a building in the center of a modern, growing regional hub city such as Spokane is a bit startling.
The courthouse is said to closely resemble two famous 16th century chateaux in the Loire Valley of France, the Chateau de Chambord, built in 1519 and the Chateau d'Azay Le Rideau built in 1516. Many architects through the years have commented on the masterly replica of a 16th century French Renaissance design, its fine lines of style and proportion with regard to the towers and turrets, the sculpture, iron and brickwork which excel in pattern and craftsmanship. Detailed exterior trim such as shell patterns with wreaths and festoons and decorative arches are a few of the outstanding features of its design. The beautiful center tower, now lighted at night, is a masterpiece of detail in itself.
The Krall Barn is believed to be the oldest existing log barn in Lebanon County. The effort to save it first kicked off in 2007, when the structure, then located east of Schaefferstown, was saved from destruction by a cooperating owner, Howard Scharff, who worked with Schaefferstown’s Bill Ross by offering to donate the barn if it was dismantled. The way it stands now, most of the exterior of the Krall Barn is nearly complete. But there are many smaller, inside projects yet to be tackled. The education center is expected to make it easier for visitors to enjoy their time at the 110 acre historic site that features three locks of the Union Canal, an engineering feat visited by none less than President George Washington himself during its construction.

I wasn't really expecting an awful lot, on our short trip down to North Sands the other night .Sometimes you get surprises!!!!!
This is one of the captures I came away with. A LE to create some movement in those clouds, which were tinged with pink as the sun set to the rear.
This part of the pier has been set adrift, as a central part of the pier was removed.
Actually there was the sunrise expected on the right side of that frame 30 minutes ago. The weatherforecast wrote that there would be a cloud cover of 30 % of the sky, so it shouldn't be a problem. But if these 30 % building a massiv wall on the wrong place I’ll keep trapped in the dawning for a while. Nature is what is happening, while I'm having different plans.
Eigentlich sollte vor ungefähr 30 Minuten auf der rechten Seite die Sonne aufgegangen sein. Der Wetterbereicht hat von 30 %iger Wolkenabdeckung des Himmels gesprochen, eigentlich kein Problem. Wenn sich allerdings diese 30 % wie ein massive Wand genau an der falschen Stelle auftürmen bleib ich noch ne Weile in der Morgendämmerung gefangen. Natur ist eben das was passiert, während ich andere Pläne mache.

Isaac Newton, born December 25, 1642, Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England, died March 20, 1727, London. English physicist and mathematician, who was the culminating figure of the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century.
Born in the Woolsthorpe, Newton was the son of a local farmer (500 acres). A weak premature baby, Newton was not expected to survive his first day of life, much less 84 years. Deprived of a father before birth, he soon lost his mother who married a second time and his grandmother brought him up.

Psilocybe bohemica (Agiromycetes). Size of hat 9 mm. Size of whole mushroom 3 cm. For me this hat is an inspiration of Haute Couture, the new hat for winter 2021-22. It reminds us of the fragility and beauty of nature. I expect many people would love to have such an inspiring hat. Before wearing the hat, you have to remove the stalk at the inside.
We’ve had about 15 cm by the time this photo was taken; some areas, ours included, is expecting another 15-20 cm. We’ll see. The snow is not bad by itself: it is the wind that is driving one’s wits away. I’m glad the hearts are warm either way. Have a warm day!
Not quite the Springlike weather I expected last weekend … hey ho, that’s England for you.
This is the view from Starkholmes looking towards Matlock Bath.
When it came to the Moscow Metro, I had a good idea what to expects, but the reality was something else. Spacious, stunning, immacculate and clean hardly covers it. There were very few people, Alla said that was because trains come every 90 seconds. Each station has a unique theme, there are no billboards, I could have spent a day visiting stations and riding the trains; this was railway heaven beyond my wildest dreams.
This shot of Mayakovskaya Metro station. The Moscow metro is a marvel of urban design. Every day, as many as 9 million people use the metro system -- that's more than in New York and London combined. As well as being one of the most efficient and cheapest underground transit systems in the world, the Moscow Metro is also undoubtedly one of the most beautiful. The brainchild of the tsars but finally put into action by Stalin, whose idea to make the city’s metro stations “palaces for the people” has translated into some truly spectacular, subterranean architectural gems. It’s possible to spend an entire day or more travelling the metro and exploring the vast array of ornate stations; each constructed and decorated in its own unique way. There are 215 stations on 14 lines.

Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse is on the westcoast of the North Sea in Rubjer, in the Jutland municipality of Hjørring in northern Denmark. It was first lit on 27 December 1900. But due to erosion and large annual movements of the sand masses, it was decided to move the tower further inland, just because it was expected that the tower would fall into the sea by 2023... But it still towers high above the Danish dunes on the west coast.

I expect there may be many images of snail shells for this theme, so decided to give my snails a rest this week and photograph my cycad house plant that has just put up a few new leaves - all the tiny 'leaflets' have coiled ends when they first appear that will straighten as the leaf grows. On this particular leaf, one of the little leaflets has grown a bit ahead of the others and shown off the lovely details of its coiled end.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Spiral'.
The image was done as a 5-shot focus stack at f3.5, focusing on the tight coil which was 1cm across.
Some sun beams find the way through the overcast sky at Koh Samui, Thailand! Maybe a tropical storm will be coming soon. The Thai fishermen have moored their boats at the shallow low tide shore.

👏 ...ENJOY THE EVENT!!... 👏
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!
Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Crazy Tuesdays is old and new. Of course we have Mr. Teddy bear with us to celebrate Happy Teddy Bear Tuesdays.
Mr. Teddy Bear has a dilemma: old or new ? What do you prefer ? New is exacting and cool and so new and so out of usual … New is the change and the challenge to adapt. But on the other hand: old is reassuring, it is what we are use to … Old is comfort and we know what to expect…
When Mr. Teddy Bear realized his old pencil was almost too old to continue to write his exciting adventures, he went pencil shopping… His old pencil was so awesome but those new guys were so shiny and new… Of course the new pencil will have to learn everything from the old one… so there is no question about throwing away the old pencil (this is the hoarder inside of me speaking ;-) !) But the choice was so difficult… New pencils looked so similar… with no distinctive signs, no character and no experience…. The old pencil was very stubborn and had an opinion on everything… but he had also the best stories to tell… the new guys were very « blah » in the eyes of Mr. Teddy Bear…
Eventually Mr. Teddy Bear will choose one new pencil… and he will try to get use to it and to make it his personal pencil… Until it becomes as awesome as his old pencil… And not so new anymore…
So are team NEW or team OLD ?
Me, I’m in the team OLD !
Happy CMWD and happy CT and happy HTBT to all participants !! And for the rest of us : happy day !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
I tried my luck this morning in getting the Least Bitterns that have been reported lately. It was very frustrating watching them fly by in the distant and hanging out in the reeds so far out and in the open. I waited patiently and was watching the reeds for any movement. I kept quiet from the other two photographers as I noticed the reeds parting. I snuck away and boom! This adult parted the reeds and looked around about 10ft in front of me. I just cropped the left and right side to make this portrait. Another lifer and lucky shot! :) Click image for enlarged view.
in our local BIG park. We were expecting heavy grey skies this year, but we were blessed with this wonderful light ! I have still to cook our Christmas meal - so I'm rushing to get this on before starting the real cooking !
Hope you've had a lovely Christmas Day so far (it's not over yet) - a lovely time whatever you are celebrating, and that you are suffused with good feelings.
My heart goes out to those who find Christmas and the New Year a lonely and difficult time. We are so lucky to be visiting family tomorrow - I am a lucky woman!
Thanks so much for all your support, as always... you know how I value each and every one of you. I am sorry if I can't always keep up with you !

I expect this would be called a weed. But the plant produced lots of wind-ready fruit, and it looked elegant, for a weed.
Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?
'Always Expect the Unexpected' as the 'Colloquial Saying' goes.
Despite our squally showers, thunderstorms and hail this afternoon and this evening - this was the scene at 8.45pm tonight from the rear of my home looking East just before sunset at 21.00pm.
At the time, there was another heavy rain shower as the sun sat low above the horizon in the West to the front of my home.
Quite remarkable!
Wishing you all a Happy Telegraph Tuesday (HTT) too everyone. By enlarging the image you'll see various electric pylons, other poles and cables too - through the heavy rain!
This image was captured for the Macro Mondays theme: "Edge".
From this exercise, I learnt that drips drop much faster than you might expect!
We went to West WIttering on the off chance there would be a good sunrise. We were not expecting much as both nearby Dell Quay and Bosham were really fogged in but West Wittering seemed to have some sort of micro climate with just a touch of mist where all around was thick fog!

I expected the Bee eater to be pretty hard to capture. Usually, the more beautiful a bird is, the harder to capture is. That's what I believed until the Bee eaters proved me wrong.
