I'll boil easier than you
Crush my bones into glue
I'm a go-getter
The system's in red
The room is inbred
I'm a go-getter
Don't hold no harm
Don't hold no harm
My children despise my wonderful lies
I'm a go-getter
I see through your walls
And your space down your halls
I'm a go-getter
Don't hold no harm
Don't hold no harm
The fever I feel, the fake and the real
I'm a go-getter
My world just expands
Things just break in my hands
I'm a go-getter
Don't hold no harm
Don't hold no harm
Don't hold no harm
Don't hold no harm
Macro Mondays -- Inspired by a song
Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
-- Jimmy Buffett, "Margaritaville"
This is a strange source of inspiration for someone who is neither a big country & western fan nor a tequila lover. However, I was raised and currently live in a community that is very country and so have grown up hearing all the songs. And at a recent party I was talked into drinking some tequila shots which brought back many memories (mainly of why I don't drink tequila).
Disclaimer: No real margaritas were mixed, imbibed, or in any way harmed in the making of this photo.
The shell of the common Garden snail, Cornu aspersum, contains pigment-containing cells known as chromatophores. A physiological colour change can be initiated in these cells to allow the animal to change its colour to match its surroundings and so provide protective camouflage. The mechanism is similar to that found in cephalopods such as cuttlefish and octopus, although the snail is much slower to produce the colour change than these other molluscs.

Sorry, I wanted to post this on April 1 but that would have missed the theme.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
"...T-t-terious, infectious and dangerous
Friends and enemies find us contagerious
And they spread into your system like a virus
Yes the trouble is it kind of makes you anxious
I was lookin' back to see if you were lookin back at me
To see me lookin back at you
I was lookin' back to see if you were lookin back at me
To see me lookin back at you
But if you hurt what's mine
I'll sure as hell retaliate
You can free the world, you can free my mind
Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight
You can free the world, you can free my mind
Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight"
This song was written in 1991, and it sounds so premonitory for this pandemic age, but in fact, the liner notes to the Blue Lines album, it mention the movie Taxi Driver as an influence, and it's clear that the movie was inspiration for this song's lyrics. The movie stars Robert DeNiro as a paranoid Vietnam vet who drives a taxi at night. He becomes obsessed with saving a child prostitute played by Jodie Foster, and ends up killing some people in his efforts. The spooky atmosphere in this song goes with the theme, as do the lines about protecting a child. From www.songfacts.com/facts/massive-attack/safe-from-harm

Happy Monochrome Monday, everyone!
More water than normal - and this was before Christoph arrived. Guess it might be worth another visit tomorrow - with an umbrella unless the rain stops!
nb if this looks a little familiar, I posted a very similar shot in Dec 2018 not long after we moved to Alnwick flic.kr/p/PLFkBK
Later note in response to a couple of comments- no humans were harmed in the taking of this shot! In fact I only had to walk about 2-3 yards from the car!

Putting a distance between them and imminent harm.
Actually the harm comes in all shapes and sizes but this time it was Cheetahs

Am I just a feeling you can't name?
Well, do you see my face at night when all else fades?
Wherever you go, I follow you all the way
I could see we're one but not the same
So, don't just stand there in the dark, cause I haven't left you
I have been there from the start and I won't forget you
The distant stars will show me where you are
And no, we could never be apart
You're safe from harm
One tree said.
I hate it when I see writings and engravings on tree trunks. How will you feel if someone engraved their names or memories on your bodies!
Winter is for resting and recuperating. It's for planning and dreaming, for remembering. It's for missing summer places and the reassurance that we'll see them again.

Stop smoking, as this will only bring you health problems in addition to harming the environment.
The human lung is composed of small structures, the alveoli, responsible for the gas exchange of the blood. Blood flow and blood flow between heart and lungs are intense. Cigarette smoke directly affect the functioning of the heart-lung circulation. Over time the pulmonary alveolus are being cemented by the components of cigarette smoke, failing to do its function. The body will then be replaced by smaller tissue oxygenation, resulting in greater ease of tiredness for the smoker. Cigarette smoking also causes countless damage to the heart and lungs, such as heart attack and cancer.
This is my first attempt at something called a “flatlay”! I’ve been wanting to try it for some time now, and decided today is the day....no Santa’s were harmed in the filming of this project, although some appear arthritic and old. That’s because they are! I love my vintage Santas, and think I’ve put them to good use.
Truly one of a better e-mail you may not have seen:
A mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die in Iraq ?'
A mother asked this President... 'Why did my son have to die in Saudi Arabia ?'
A mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die in Kuwait?'
Another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die in Vietnam?'
Another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die in Korea?'
Another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die on Iwo Jima?'
Another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die on a battlefield in France?'
Yet another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg?'
And yet another mother asked President... 'Why did my son have to die on a frozen field near Valley Forge?'
Then long, long ago, a mother asked...
'Heavenly Father ... why did my Son have to die on a cross outside of Jerusalem?'
The answer is always the same... “So that others may live and dwell in peace, happiness, and freedom.”
This was emailed to me with no author. I thought the magnitude and the simplicity were awesome.
If you are not willing to stand BEHIND our troops, please, please feel free to stand in front of them....
“Lets go to WAR is a political decision usually made by governments leading nations. A person can try to influence that decision, before and after, War begins or is averted. Once in war, a citizen’s duty to his/country is what if asked to served, or if asked to support those serving in hostile territories in HARM’s WAY”? I pray for the military folks abroad and at home, anxiously awaiting exercise of the right to vote out this current top government officials. What do you do?

Well, it's back to school...well, back to work for me but working IN a school is like going back to school. I had a great day back, it felt nice to be back in a supportive work environment and see everyone. This year is looking like an interesting, challenging yet exciting year to come!

Grey Days. 24.10.2008, Hanhijänkkä, Tornio.
Not so many bright things in the nature these days...still I like the few plain colours and cool weather - but not the all-day-rain-that-gets-everything-wet like today...

All of the eagles held by the zoos I serve have been injured in the wild and are incapable of surviving on their own. At the zoo, they live with great support from human caregivers.
Remember the Hearse Song with its famous lyrics "the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out"? It describes the viewing of a hearse, prompting thoughts of death and decomposition. The earliest version dates from 1796 - but it became popular as a children's song in the 20th century, and also (morbidly) as a song sung by soldiers in World War I.
There are numerous different versions of the lyrics, so here is a snail version, for Macro Mondays theme 'Spooky'. And you thought snails were vegetarians...
The bone is a small fox pelvis that measures 6.6 cm across at its widest, so the image spans 7.3 cm. Even without the snails, the pelvis has a rather ghoulish appearance.
Once again, thanks to SkyeBaggie for providing the bone.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.

Alter Ego: Man-Mech
Name: Maelstrom Lancaster
Allegiance: Villain
Powers: None
Weapons:
* Customised Mech that allows him:
* Super strength, Durability and Limitless Stamina
* Bulletproof armour
* Immunity to cold temperatures
* Low altitude flight
* Invulnerability against electricity and EMPs
Key Weakness: He's vulnerable against large bodies of water which causes him to be slow.
Origin:
When Maelstrom was on his way home from work he witnessed a villain getting brutally beaten down by the hero, Cosmic Comet, for a standard petty crime. This traumatised Maelstrom for years and from then on had a different outlook on Heroes seeing them as abusers and Villains as the victims. During this time he engineered a robotic suit that could help him on his mission to protect villains from being beaten mercilessly by heroes. Once it was completed he started to use it to protect villains in need by defending them and telling the intercepting hero(heroes) to use their words instead of violence, despite the villain causing them and others harm.
