Basstölpel - Northern Gannet

Here she is, my constant companion, my female Japanese Spitz. I couldn't wish for a better friend. Make of her what you wish, I love her and she loves me. Times have changed for me recently, I don't manage to get out much except for our morning walks which sometimes I don't feel like doing at all 😃, but she's worth it and has brought me a lot of joy along the way and many friends too.

Thanks for all your views and comments, faves and just for looking, my Friends.

This portrait was processed in Topaz Studio, PicMonkey and also a bit in Picasa.

I hope you like her !

Here comes the rain again

Falling on my head like a memory

Falling on my head like a new emotion

You’d think I could have found a really reflective knife, but no, all ours seem to be matt stainless steel!

Here is what's happened.

Lunch with friends, I spot this cat jumping from the far left of the outer wall, grab the camera of a friend and block camera with this frame. After a few secs the furry animal jumps into the frame and i click.

I don't know where I'm going

(But I sure know where I've been)

Hanging on the promises

In songs of yesterday

And I've made up my mind

I ain't wasting no more time

(Here I go again)

Here I go again

Lot about Trent, let's have a look at you, come on!

Come on!

Though I keep searching for an answer

I never seem to find what I'm looking for

Oh Lord, I pray

You give me strength to carry on

'Cause I know what it means

To walk along the lonely street of dreams

Here at the Yeoman Hey Reservoir we can see the water outlet tower more clearer because of the low water levels, Built in 1880 it controls the flow of water out of the reservoir by the use of opening and closing valves within the tower.

Another side of Sophi, the dreamy kitty.

Here in Michigan the weather can change quickly, wanted to grab a few autumn/fall photos before the rain moves in.

Since so many recognized my referenc eto the Band a flock of Seagulls on a recent shot thought I would use this shot to refer to one of there well known songs, This Gulls seems to have ran fron the flock

Skin & Hair Modified

Here's one from a few months ago on Inis Mor Island. I didn't get a chance to post it but I think it's too nice to hide away in the archives. I'm not sure what breed these are but certainly not the connemara you usually associate with the island. It started raining so I didn't hang around as I was on a bike and needed to get back before it became heavy.

Hot sticky scenes, you know what I mean

Like a desert sun that burns my skin

I've been waiting for her for so long

Open the sky and let her come down

Here comes the rain

Here comes the rain

Here she comes again

Here comes the rain

Hot sticky scenes, you know what I mean

Like a desert sun that burns my skin

I've been waiting for her for so long

Open the sky and let her come down

Here comes the rain

Here comes the rain

Here she comes again

Here comes the rain

I love the rain

I love the rain

Here she comes again

Here comes the rain

Oh, rain

Rain

Rain

Oh, here comes the rain

I love the rain

Well, I love the rain

Here she comes again

I love the rain

Lekeitio, antaño fue puerto de balleneros, sus hombres eran unos magníficos arponeros, reconocidos en el mundo. Los lekeitiarraz, forjaron su historia desde siglos en el Cantábrico y luego mas tarde partiendo a lejanas aguas junto a otras embarcaciones balleneras del Cantábrico, donde daban captura a los grandes cetáceos para extraer de ellos su apreciada grasa, su carne, e incluso sus huesos y barba que eran utilizados para muchas utilidades...en suma, se aprovechaba casi todo.

Hoy en día su hermoso y pintoresco puerto nos brinda su escenario marinero, lleno de pequeñas embarcaciones pesqueras y de recreo, llenando sus aguas de color.

En medio de verdes montes que lo acompañan, sobresale entre su silueta urbana la de la Basílica de Nª Señora de La Asunción, de estilo gótico, que parece asomarse al puerto para encomendar amparo a los marineros como lo hace desde cinco siglos, un bonito paisaje de la Costa Vasca, sin duda.

Cheers to the Holidays....have a wonderful Thursday~

The Greater Prairie Chickens put on a great show for us. One has to get up early to see these amazing birds. Here the sun was just coming up and turned the world a beautiful pinkish orange color as the Chickens fought for their breeding rights. It was amazing.

This one's for you Jun, being sent all the way to Singapore:)

Here's a photo of the iconic lighthouse bathing in the early sunlight, I got there by 5:30am and had the lighthouse all to myself and one other photog. Walking around and finding this small puddle, I was super happy with even just a partial lighthouse reflection.

Many thanks to your visit, favs and comments; wishing you a wonderful holiday season!
