Ricordate quei voti che alcuni di voi hanno gentilmente dato ad una mia foto in concorso? Tempo perso. La redazione soltanto ora ha reputato la mia foto fuori concorso. Già, proprio ora, che era arrivata in prima posizione!

Ma non mi arrendo, ho aggiungo un'altra foto, senza rischio squalifica.

Se qualcuno di voi ha ancora voglia di appoggiare la mia "lotta", può farlo qui:

Grazie, a chi mi darà una mano per la seconda (ed ultima spero!) volta.

La segona foto que vaig poder fer De Helper Molen, bé de fet el vaig fer més, crec que és un dels problemes que tinc que faig massa fotos, i després filtro molt i finalment en queden poques, potser hauria de ser més selectiu al moment de fer-les, és una assignatura que tinc pendent, però això ja és un altra història. Les dues fotos tenen la mateixa composició, però moments de llum molt diferents i les dues m’agraden força, l’altre ja la vaig publicar fa temps.

"A hand reaching out is what friendship is about."

Dedicated to all my flickr friends =D

I had a helper when I was working in the garden this morning. I was also visited by a Wren.

Just to prove we were actually there!!! It reminds me of the poses that the Beatles are pulling on the front of the Help! album!!

Early morning in Amsterdam. Tourist couple taking pictures in the play pond at Vondelpark

I have listened to "Now and Then" quite a lot since it's release and had the thought that i'd heard the phrase before (maybe more than once) in a Beatles song.

Anyhow, long story short, it popped.. so i looked the Lyric up, to be certain.

Then Irony.. "Help" it was, Ai "help" was needed to produce the song.. "Now and Then" the lyrics seem prophetic or maybe just coincidental, you decide.

I need somebody

(Help) not just anybody

(Help) you know I need someone, help

So much younger than today

(I never need) I never needed anybody's help in any way

(Now) but now these days are gone (these days are gone)

I'm not so self assured

(And now I find) now I find I've changed my mind

And opened up the doors

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being 'round

Help me get my feet back on the ground

Won't you please, please help me

In oh so many ways

(My independ-) my independence seems to vanish in the haze

(But) but every now and then (NOW AND THEN)

I feel so insecure

(I know that I) I know that I just need you like

I've never done before

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being 'round

Help me get my feet back on the ground

Won't you please, please help me

When I was younger, so much younger than today

I never needed anybody's help in any way

(Now) but now these days are gone (these days are gone)

I'm not so self assured

(And now I find) now I find I've changed my mind

And opened up the doors

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being 'round

Help me get my feet back on the ground

Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, ooh

The working title had been "Eagle Eyed"

I have worked these images over a few years, i even posted one version, though i was never happy with it, i deleted that one a couple of years ago, it made me cringe seeing it,

Anyhow, much like the Eagle, i have settled on this one ;-))

Next it says add catnip

You sure?

Yep. That's what it says

Dig beneath your feet...

there you will find a spring....

" The place where you are now is crucial....

Never try to avoid that which you must do.

The NB dispatcher evidently felt that Q293 was a stall risk and attached GP40-2s 6203 and 6213 as helpers for the trip over Washington Hill. The bet seems to have paid off as the train made better time by the false summit than the preceding Q425, with the two geeps just along for the ride as they clear onto the mostly-flat track at QB 137.5.

I'm going to speak from the heart for a minute.

About Covid and the changing state of the world.

A lot has been said about it already, and I wasn't really sure if I should, or even could, say anything that will help. At best I'm a celebrity artist who loves to share his passion for LEGO and make people smile. At worst I'm just a stranger on the internet.

Then I realised that's why I should speak up.

'Cos the LEGO community is full of amazing people who are driven by the desire to help others. And at times like this, it's easy to lose sight of that. It's easy to feel scared and helpless. But the only time you can ever be brave is when you are scared.

And you ARE brave.

And you CAN help.

It might be helping in small ways. By making people smile. Or by helping at-risk people in your community: helping your friends and family to do their shopping whilst they isolate at home or by sharing your last roll of toilet paper with the neighbour over your fence.

That's what I wanted to say. To remind people that we will get through this together. That now, more than ever, your small acts of kindness can mean the world to the person being helped.

Stay Awesome guys.

really can't help myself around dandelions & try my best to be realistically positive & light-hearted when blowing out the candle & making intentional wishes.. sometimes a fun thought like 'wouldn't it be shitty to suffer from a sudden horrible disfigurement at this stage of my waning sexpot years' will cross my mind, and laugh like thAt's gonna happen....... only to splatter boiling oil on my arms & legs while making steak a few hours later LOL.. i know there's some freak out there with a burn vic fetish just waiting for me

Blueberry gives the antlers a try.

Happy VERY EARLY Birthday Emily! Hope you are online today to see all your greetings! And THANKS for all your help!

D801 shoves hard on the rear of a loaded coal train as the head end and rear end crews do battle with Saugatuck Hill. Manned helpers were required on every coal train going up the hill until very recently, when CSX began adapting the use of DPUs. Even so, occasionally a train will still be pushed over the hill by manned helpers, a rarity in railroading these days. The Executive SD70MACs with the old school BNSF logo on the nose were always my favorite BNSF units.

Le sujet interpelle, j'y retournerai plusieurs fois je pense.

Certaines sculptures feraient même assez peur...

If anyone can get these bottle caps off, it’s bound to be this little guy! LOL! Taken for the Jules’ Photo Challenge Group: tiny Guess I did speak too soon- I am back standing in one spot to even get a cell signal. Not internet working here again. 😞

There is no hope to get out soon... If only someone could come to the rescue of the Admiral!

Usually I don't put night photos on flickr because it is very difficult for me to make good photo in night condition シ.

Taken in Leicester city centre. I tried to talk to this man but he spoke very little English. He acknowledged that it was ok to take his picture and I gave him so money. I wish I had more to tell.

Tineretului Park, Bucharest, Romania

Three pelicans rest on a sea wall in Boca Ciega Bay near Upham Beach in St. Pete Beach, Florida. One pelican has a fishing line protruding from an area behind his leg.

The guy on the right kept turning to me, like he had something to say. I was clueless to it, trying to hold my balance on the rocks and focus on his eyes. My wife knew right away, of course, telling me as she spotted me on the rocks and approached.

All three flew away shortly after I captured this image, so I never saw it until I edited the photo in full resolution. Look closely - he's got a leader protruding from just behind his left leg, with a swivel and a bit of line dangling from it. I can't tell if there's a hook involved, but that feels like a reasonable assumption to me.

Before I knew about his predicament, I loved this photograph because it gave me a sense of technical satisfaction - three in a row, perfectly spaced, and nobody's pruning themself! And, bonus, that gaze!

Now it makes me a little sad every time I look at it.

I still love it though, because it reminds me of things that are important to me - wildlife and the environment - and the challenges they face.

A couple of helpers are doing exactly what they were intended for, shoving a heavy grain train to the summit of Marias Pass.

I kinda like the bokeh these guys produce
