Through the 1720's-1748, many garden designers worked at Stowe. Each experimented with styles for which they would later become famous, helping to make Stowe what you see today. Lord Cobham liked to work with the most fashionable forward thinkers of the time and intended to be a trendsetter for all who visited his estate to see his power. These included James Gibbs, William Kent and Lancelot 'Capability' Brown to name a few.
The art of forward motion is falling over, but before you hit your nose on the ground, alternate feet stop you....... think about it !!
When Little Owls move long distances, they fly of course (as all birds do come to that)(ok not all birds) but when they are on short haul stuff, they walk or run ( the same again for all birds)......... but in all my years of watching birds, I have never seen any other bird do this with such style as a Little Owl :o)
OK, maybe a Puffin comes close LOL

Hi There!
Many of you have asked how I'm doing since my foot surgery. I saw the surgeon yesterday, so now have a little news. First, I want to thank my Flickr friends for your support! Your kind comments, notes and prayers have helped enormously! I am still housebound, but have been given permission to try and start bending my forefoot and toes (now impossible) and when the swelling goes down enough, to start to wear my own shoes and boots again! That'll be a nice change from the brace I currently wear. I can walk carefully around my home, but it will be some time before I am out and about as usual. Most importantly, I am moving forward!
Thank you all again a thousand times over!
And thank you for stopping by to view and comment on this image! Have a wonderful day!

As 2022 draws to a close, I am looking forward to turning the page on this year, which has been a difficult one for me, and starting the new chapter that is 2023.
There are a few lines from a Josh Groban song called "Thankful", that I have always loved:
Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each others' light
For me, Flickr has become a beautiful place to find that light and that connection, especially in a world that seems to grow increasingly dark and troubled. So I want to share a deep and sincere Thank You to all my Flickr friends and contacts for the light you give and all the ways in which you uplift my spirit. Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity which both awe and inspire me, for sharing your beautiful places, special moments, and great adventures, for your thoughtful and generous support of my photography and writing, and most of all for your personal kindness, caring, and humanity. I truly enjoy all of the conversations, comments, and connection with each of you, and am incredibly thankful for your encouragement and good wishes through some of the tough times this year.
I am profoundly grateful to have met such wonderful people here on Flickr. Because in the words of the incomparable Maya Angelou in the poem below,
"Nobody, but nobody, Can make it out here alone.
I wish each of you health, happiness, and beautiful light (both in photography and life) in the new year ahead!
Alone
by Maya Angelou
Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
There are some millionaires
With money they can't use
Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They've got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone.
But nobody
No, nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
'Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
It's coming...
something new...
something exciting...
something scary...
If you are unhappy, don't stand still on broken glass, keep walking, then the pain of loss will quickly pass.
Starting tomorrow, after many years, things will finally go in the right direction again...
like I said: Forward...
to be continued...
We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams. Jeremy Irons
Going forward I'll hopefully have a bit more time for taking and posting photos - famous last words!!! In the meantime another one from the archives and a reminder we are due some cold weather!
Thanks for all the lovely comments and faves on my images and I hope you're all keeping well :)
Facing forward this male Bullfinch looks particularly rotund with gloriously coloured bull neck, short bill stuffed full as it nestles between the blackberry branches.

This shows a tiny part of a 4K TV panel (around 5 mm or 1/5 inch), so you can clearly recognize each element of the RGB subpixels. It‘s interesting to see so much color and realize that the actual image looks quite different to they eye (probably something close to a white tone).

Philippians 3:13-14
New International Version
13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Ich wollte mich sehr herzlich für ein wundervolles Jahr Flickr mit euch bedanken! Vielen Dank!
