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
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.
For Looking Close on Friday theme 'Orange'.
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!
Faculty of Science, David de Wied building, Utrecht University (2006-2011)
Herman Hertzberger, Laurens Jan ten Kate, Harm Freymuth, Jutta Groosman, Francine van Loon, Heleen Reedijk, Steven Reisinger
The new Faculty of Science is located as a freestanding building on a prominent site of the Utrecht University campus. Approximately half of the building contains laboratories and the rest provides education and work space on various and open floors, grouped around the central hall. This atrium-like space is directed to the outside in a covered outdoor area with an open classroom, where there is an opportunity of open air events. The 'oval' freestanding building, as an island on this area, is on the border between the inside and outside and provides all opportunities for meetings, which all contribute to social cohesion.

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
For Macro Mondays theme 'Guilty Pleasure'.
Well of course my guilty pleasure would be snail photography, hence the reason for incorporating a lens in the composition. In fact it was Macro Mondays back in 2016 that started me on my snail whispering journey (see first comment box).
I do feel rather guilty as all you proper photographers likely wonder why I spend so much time on snails - well, it's fun to work with such engaging little creatures and I enjoy the challenge of getting them to perform. Every week I really do try to come up with an idea that doesn't involve them, but I might as well face it, I'm addicted to snails...
The title for the image is taken from the 1950 film Sunset Boulevard in which Gloria Swanson in her role as Norma Desmond, an aging delusional silent film star, utters the iconic line.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
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!
My title for the photo came about by falling through the ice. The Ice looked strong,but when I ventured out it began to crack. Luckily it only came to my knees and no harm came to my equipment. Although wet it wasn't too cold and I shot the sunrise over the next 45 min. Definitely a sunrise I won't forget.
... harming only those who would steal the blossom.

"Snowy Owl at Sunrise - The eyes were not edited. The rising sun was almost directly behind me when I made this picture."
DISCLAIMER: This Snowy Owl was photographed from a safe distance, using a 600mm prime lens, on a cropped sensor, which is a 900mm focal length equivalent. The image was also cropped in post editing. No Dunes were harmed during the making of this picture.
Snowy Owl
The Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus) is a large, white owl of the typical owl family. Snowy Owls are native to Arctic regions in North America and Eurasia. Younger Snowy Owls start with darker plumage, which turns lighter as they get older. Males are almost all white, while females have more flecks of gray plumage.

“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said ‘faster horses'.” – Henry Ford
1967 is the 3rd most popular year model with Ford producing 472,000 Mustangs and only follows the 1966 (1st - 607,500) and 1965 (2nd - 559,500) model years in total numbers produced.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

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.

Look who I found hanging around the bird feeder this afternoon. As you can see he already had a good feast before I startled him. Poor wee thing. I wish there was some way of letting them know we mean them no harm.
Many inchworms, when disturbed, stand erect and motionless on their posterior prolegs - an attempt to resemble a small twig, in order to fool predators. I had wanted to photograph this tiny (1.5cm) inchworm as it was nibbling on the crocosmia leaf, but it stood up and didn't move for several minutes, enabling a focus stack!
No inchworms were harmed in the making of this photograph.

Causing harm or destruction, especially with supernatural powers. Well thats the meaning from the Oxford but I just think it looks like the Angelina Jolie character wowing her audience with a blast of magic.

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.
This Owl flew over the water at the dipping pool Dungeness just as I was going home . With a stupidly high ISO 6400 and a shutter speed of 100/sec I was lucky to get anything at all in the near darkness.
The barn owl is mostly nocturnal but can at times be seen in daylight perhaps when feeding young or after a night of heavy rain that prevented them feeding .
The birds, eggs and young are protected throughout the UK and the courts have the power to impose unlimited fines and/or a spell in prison for causing them harm .
