Some of my dearest friends often have me "lobbing my shoes, boots etc at them... " FOUND them!! Well one of them.
So the saying only the strong will survive is what came to mind.
🎼: Only the Strong Survive ~ Rod Stewart ~
✈️ : Missing Melody
I see you sittin' there all alone
Crying your eyes out
While everything's going wrong
You know there's gonna be
A whole lot of trouble in your life
Listen to me, get up off your knees
'Cause only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Hey, you gotta be strong
You gotta hold on
I said don't give up, no don't
I said don't go around
With your head looking down
Don't you let'em make you feel like a clown
There's a lot of opportunity
Out there just waiting for you
But you'll never succeed if you've given up
And say your life is through
Listen this minute what I'm tellin' you
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Hey, you gotta be strong
Gotta hold on
You gotta be a man, take a stand

My heart was beating, barely breathing but still alive
Lost along the way I'd given up my fight
Scattered to pieces all along the floor, within the brokenness
I found something more
I was broken, torn apart
Scars line my arms, on my sleeve I wore my heart
They remind me of what is real
No longer needing pain to feel
I found myself in a sea of busy places, in a world of blurry faces
I found myself, on the edge of insanity, I found, I found me
This picture is from Flores, Azores. I only just found it again. I liked the yellow flowers which were all over the place. Of course I don't know what they are, maybe someone can tell me.
.. found on a fine walk around the Isenach Pond .. time to breath .. happy FlickrFriday .. take care & have a great weekend!
Portrait of a Tawny Owl which is found throughout Britain right up to the north of Scotland, but is not present in Ireland. I have heard a male calling in our street most nights for the past three weeks... 7.15pm on 11th September and it's calling again in the garden…
Found this in my backyard and I had only used four .JPEG files in a collage for ID purposes. So I always wanted to get one good shot edited and posted of this precious little creature.

At the abbey Saint Léger in Soissons, which was founded in 1139 - but now has a lot of later, Gothic additions. The place suffered heavy damage by protestants in 1567. Today it is a museum.
Life's a long, long road, if we are lucky. For so long I've just followed the road, it seems with one wheel stuck in a rut at the side steering me along without me being in control. And it has gone on and on. There's a crossroads further down in the picture, in the middle of nowhere. No signs. No landmarks. Just an empty crossroads where two roads meet on the barren moorland. I'm getting near there. Do I carry on straight or turn, left or right, and explore a bit to the side...perhaps it was a waste of time, the wrong choice....nothing to see down there, and return to the junction.
I'm almost at that point, decisions, decisions in deciding if I leave so much of what I've known, work, Cheshire and the hills around, friends, goats, North Wales and take a change in direction.
We've found a place. A long way north. Seven hours drive north to Acharacle, Argyllshire at the far end of Loch Shiel. Mountains, lochs, deer, little beaches with white sand, heather...........
I've seen recently how hard it is to leave everything you've known and strike out somewhere else when my son took his young family off to New Zealand. They'd said they never could have anticipated how difficult it would be to say "Goodbye". My turn soon.
Cumulonimbus is a dense, towering, vertical cloud,] typically forming from water vapor condensing in the lower troposphere that builds upward carried by powerful buoyant air currents. Above the lower portions of the cumulonimbus the water vapor becomes ice crystals, such as snow and graupel, the interaction of which can lead to hail and to lightning formation, respectively.
When causing thunderstorms, these clouds may be called thunderheads. Cumulonimbus can form alone, in clusters, or along squall lines. These clouds are capable of producing lightning and other dangerous severe weather, such as tornadoes, hazardous winds, and large hailstones. Cumulonimbus progress from overdeveloped cumulus congestus clouds and may further develop as part of a supercell. Cumulonimbus is abbreviated as Cb.
Notre-Dame des Neiges de Louargat is a church in Louargat, Brittany. It is one of the religious sites in the village, along with other churches and chapels such as the Église Saint-Eloi, chapels of Saint-Jean, Saint-Fiacre and Saint-Paul, and the Sainte-Chapelle Marguerite. Louargat is known for its rich religious heritage. The church is located on Place Roger Madrigou and can be found on Mappy, where you can also find photos, a map, and reviews. Louargat is a charming village in Brittany and, in addition to its religious heritage, also offers opportunities for nature lovers, with the Forêt de Coat An Hay, the menhirs of Pergat, and the An Dossen tumulus.
If the old saying is true, that many berries are a sign of a bad winter to come, we could be in for one this year.

Cuckoo - Cuculus Canorus
Norfolk
The common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) is a member of the cuckoo order of birds, Cuculiformes, which includes the roadrunners, the anis and the coucals.
This species is a widespread summer migrant to Europe and Asia, and winters in Africa. It is a brood parasite, which means it lays eggs in the nests of other bird species, particularly of dunnocks, meadow pipits, and reed warblers. Although its eggs are larger than those of its hosts, the eggs in each type of host nest resemble the host's eggs. The adult too is a mimic, e that species is a predator, the mimicry gives the female time to lay her eggs without being seen to do so.
The English word "cuckoo" comes from the Old French cucu and it first appears about 1240 in the poem Sumer Is Icumen In - "Summer has come in / Loudly sing, Cuckoo!" in modern English.
The scientific name is from Latin. Cuculus is "cuckoo" and canorus, "melodious ".
A study using stuffed bird models found that small birds are less likely to approach common cuckoos that have barred underparts similar to the Eurasian sparrowhawk, a predatory bird. Eurasian reed warblers were found more aggressive to cuckoos that looked less hawk-like, meaning that the resemblance to the hawk helps the cuckoo to access the nests of potential hosts. Other small birds, great tits and blue tits, showed alarm and avoided attending feeders on seeing either (mounted) sparrowhawks or cuckoos; this implies that the cuckoo's hawklike appearance functions as protective mimicry, whether to reduce attacks by hawks or to make brood parasitism easier.
The common cuckoo is an obligate brood parasite; it lays its eggs in the nests of other birds. At the appropriate moment, the hen cuckoo flies down to the host's nest, pushes one egg out of the nest, lays an egg and flies off. The whole process takes about 10 seconds. A female may visit up to 50 nests during a breeding season. Common cuckoos first breed at the age of two years.
More than 100 host species have been recorded: meadow pipit, dunnock and Eurasian reed warbler are the most common hosts in northern Europe; garden warbler, meadow pipit, pied wagtail and European robin in central Europe; brambling and common redstart in Finland; and great reed warbler in Hungary.
Studies were made of 90 great reed warbler nests in central Hungary. There was an "unusually high" frequency of common cuckoo parasitism, with 64% of the nests parasitised. Of the nests targeted by cuckoos, 64% contained one cuckoo egg, 23% had two, 10% had three and 3% had four common cuckoo eggs. In total, 58% of the common cuckoo eggs were laid in nests that were multiply parasitised. When laying eggs in nests already parasitised, the female cuckoos removed one egg at random, showing no discrimination between the great reed warbler eggs and those of other cuckoos.
It was found that nests close to cuckoo perches were most vulnerable: multiple parasitised nests were closest to the vantage points, and unparasitised nests were farthest away. Nearly all the nests "in close vicinity" to the vantage points were parasitised. More visible nests were more likely to be selected by the common cuckoos. Female cuckoos use their vantage points to watch for potential hosts and find it easier to locate the more visible nests while they are egg-laying.
I found this caterpillar crossing the sidewalk in the park so I put it on a leaf to get a shot. After the shot I put it back on the ground so it could continue to wherever it was headed. Thanks to Carol for ID help once again.

thank you everyone for the visits and likes. xo
All of you motorcycle (not car) people ... this is the only motorcycle I could find and it is on a sign. This is a motorcycle club in the Northern Neck of Virginia. It is called Down-N-Dirty. I have only seen motorcycles parked there on occasional weekend evenings. Maybe you can identify the type of motorcycle on the sign.
I can hardly believe that I really found the one of our wild orchids that is the most spectacular one to me. It's a bee orchid (Ophrys apifera), so named because its flowers imitate the appearance of bees or bumblebees. It's quite rare north of the Alps and I'm absolutely in love!
Have a wonderful weekend everybody :-)
This is George's — Adam and Cashe's son's little tike — which is parked up in different and sometimes unlikely places every time i visit to drop off logs, or Rob's dogs for treatment.
Over these past few months this courtyard has begun to manifest the shared visions of everyone at Babbinswood, whose Matriarch is Barbara — Adam's mum and Rob's dogs' brilliant Vet.
It's going to be a popular attraction once Lockdown's finished, and already gets regular Saturday visit's to the micro-bakery, and the cafe which sells organic meat, yogurt, cheese and unpasteurised full cream Milk — which is to die for ;-)
On the right there, is the open door to Sara's studio where she paints with loose and indefinably expert strokes, living and departed dogs, horses and other pets and animals to earn a modest living. She also weaves fantastic, organic looking baskets too that incorporate twisty found twigs, among her many other talents.
Hope to share more soon. For now, there are a few pics in the Babbinswood album.
Enjoy the day :-)
Off now, late to feed and walk the dogs, and later to drop off more logs to this wonderful place full of happy people. Hope I'm back in time and have the energy to put this pic in just a few groups. I've learnt my own little lesson: too many groups, and I can't participate. Cheers for now. ®
(PS. that artifact-looking thing just above the roof of George's car is very high cloud. I thought it was an HDR artefact, but it's on every bracket)
I consider street photo one of the most difficult styles of photography as your subject is constantly changing. You are not capturing a bridge or a river or a colorful fall forest. You are capturing moments from the city, an urban scenery, you are capturing expressions of random people while they are not posing for you, people doing their every day thing. So quite often I am trying to focus on something static on the street, something that caught my eye and then wait until the "right people" get into my frame. I think I got lucky on this one, as it felt like these 2 guys were just leaving the area after not finding what they were looking for (404 error, web administrators may get the joke).

Κατα τη γνωμη μου η φωτογραφια δρομου ειναι ισως το πιο δυσκολο ειδος φωτογραφίας καθως το θεμα σου αλλαζει συνεχως. Δεν φωτογραφιζεις μια γεφυρα, ενα ποταμι η ενα πολυχρωμο δασος το φθινοπωρο. Στη φωτογραφια δρομου το θεμα ειναι οι στιγμες σε μια πολη, ενα αστικο σκηνικο, οι εκφρασεις τυχαιων ανθρωπων που ομως δεν ποζαρουν για σενα, τυχαιοι ανθρωποι που κανουν καποιες κινησεις ρουτινας. Ετσι συχνα προσπαθω να εστιασω σε κατι στατικο, σε κατι που τραβηξε την προσοχη μου και επειτα να περιμενω μεχρι οι "σωστοι ανθρωποι" να μπουν στο καδρο μου. Νομιζω σταθηκα αρκετα τυχερος εδω αφου οι 2 αυτοι τυποι εμοιαζαν να απομακρυνονται απο την περιοχη αφου δεν βρηκαν αυτο που εψαχναν (σφαλμα 404, οι web admins μαλλον θα πιασουν το αστειο). Η φωτογραφια τραβηχτηκε στην περιοχη Little Five points στην Atlanta της πολιτειας της Georgia.
1923 Locomobile, Model 48 from the Nickel period. $9000 dollars when new in 1923!
Locomobile was one of the earliest manufacturers in the advent of the automobile age. For the first two years after it's founding in 1899, the company was located in Watertown Massachusetts. In 1900, production was transferred to Bridgeport, Connecticut where it remained until the company's demise in 1929. The example above is a 1923 Model 48 touring car, and a very original example that had been owned by one family for over 60 years. Power is provided by a 525ci T-head 6 cylinder engine that is rated at a true 100hp. President Warren G. Harding had the exact some car and model during his tenure in the White House.
Model 48 and the Durant years
The most important for the marque became the impressive Model 48. Introduced in 1911 as the "type M," it had a very conservative, perhaps dated, concept. It had a conventional but huge chassis with a wheelbase of 143 inches (3,632 mm). Its engine was a straight six with side valves; cylinders were still cast in pairs and it featured a nonremovable cylinder head. Displacement was 429.4 cu in (7.0 L), from a 41⁄2+ in × 41⁄2+ in (114 mm × 114 mm) bore and stroke, giving it a 48.6-hp tax rating by the North American Chamber of Commerce. While called the "M" internally, this car is usually referred to by its tax hp rating. The brake horsepower rating was somewhere north of 90 for the original model, higher in the later versions. Quality of materials and workmanship were impeccable and among the best in the world. Such was also its pricing: A typical open-body cost about $10,000 when the average Model T Ford Phaeton cost about $300. Locomobile also offered custom designs for the lamps and metal work, carried out by Tiffany Studios. Until 1915, left- or right-hand drive could be specified; afterwards, left-hand drive became standard. Right-hand drive cars were meant for export and sat on a chassis four inches shorter. Around 1919, the engine was updated with a longer 51⁄2+ in (140 mm) stroke, for 525 cu in (8.6 L) displacement while retaining the same tax hp rating.
A smaller "38 hp" model, very similar to the Model 48, was added in 1913. The model 38 has a 425 cu in (7.0 L), 62 bhp (46 kW) version of the T-head six and sits on a somewhat shorter 140 inches (3,556 mm) wheelbase. By 1914, Locomobile had stopped selling all four-cylinder models to concentrate exclusively on sixes.
In July 1922, Locomobile was acquired by Durant Motors, which not only continued using the Locomobile brand name for their top-of-the-line autos until 1929, but also still produced the Model 48 until its demise in 1929. Until the mid-1920s, this car was Locomobile's only offering. In 1925, the marque brought out their first new model, the 8-66 Junior Eight, with a more contemporary straight-eight engine, and more importantly, a lower price of $1,785.
Noreen found an ideal spot in the shallow crystal clear water's edge to get out her big watermelons. She just knew that once he spotted her, Norman wouldn't be able to resist getting a taste of her juicy melons.

The tropical striped triplefin (Helcogramma striata), also called the striped threefin or neon triplefin, is a species of triplefin blenny that is native to the central Indo-Pacific. It is a small fish that can reach a maximum length of 4 cm. This triplefin occurs in clear waters with moderate current from the surface down to 30 meters depth. It is normally found perched on coral or other hard surfaces where it is on the look out for drifting food.
