Thank you everyone for the favs, awards, awesome comments and invites! Means so much!!! Cheers to everyone!
I have no idea what this hummingbird is doing, but it sure looks like it fell off the perch! Normally I wouldn't include the feeder in the photograph, but this time I couldn't resist.
Life too hard? Hit the road. I really wanted to, but its a private road that leads down to the river so I had to refrain. To old to go to jail. ;) The covid 19 is affecting so many peoples behavior I avoid them like they are the plague. I prefer solitude.
I am taking a break from SL for a while, I let my temper get the better of me and did something I will always regret, Thanks to all my friends and followers, its been a blast. Thank you to Chase for the last year and I am sorry. Thanks to other people that have been a special part of my life, you know who you are. I am not sure if or when I will be back, keep sl fun. Love and best wishes Rachel Swallows-Stone XXXX
My least favourite type of weather, is an overcast sheet of white across the entire sky, featureless, boring and annoying, plus seemingly it lasts forever! So, one thing I know when I have perused other photos against such a backdrop, is that they can look like watercolour paintings. This is what I wanted to achieve in this shot.
However, much to my luck, a Bumblebee flew into the shot just as I hit the shutter down and thus, this is the result, I couldn't be happier. The slightly out of focus Bee accentuates to the image I wanted to create, a water painting without heavy software manipulation; sometimes in photography you can just get lucky!
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you!

CUSCO,
Photography’s new conscience
for a brief time at the beginning of the 1900s, the word ‘jackpot’ was associated with misfortune, hardship or being in trouble with the law
in his book, the cowboy, philip rollins used the phrase jackpot as an expression to signify a perplexing situation
in 1941, agnes morley cleaveland used the term in her book, no life for a lady...one of the characters needed to get “out of a jackpot”

The first slushfall of the season hit Sand Patch overnight, and enough of it lingers today to make an early winter scene. This is train M332-14, featuring eight units on the head end, eastbound near Mance.
By the look of his mud-tipped bill, I'd say this ruddy duck hit bottom. I guess that's to be expected. From what I read they dive to the bottom of a pond and filter mud through some plates in their bill to get at aquatic invertebrates, plant matter and the like. Not sure I fully grasp the physical mechanism for this filtering process. Back to this guy. He'll need to clean that mud off - that ridiculously blue bill is there to attract the ladies during the breeding season (which is now)
NECKLACE: Eternity: Mother and Son {for Roxi}~ 100% Donation ~ at Nymphai
copying Duchess’ words, from her blog :
Last weekend we were hit with the devastating news that our beloved Roxi Firanelli lost her son during the night.
Sadness enveloped our little world as the news spread throughout the Ippos family. Luminaries that you can light and send off into the sky have been set up on the dock at Nymphai to help Roxi with funeral expenses. A wonderful creator also designed this delicate mesh Eternity necklace in remembrance of Jeffery, beautifully titled “Eternity: Mother & Son.” The necklace can also be found on the dock near the Luminary Lanterns and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Roxi......

On the Iowa side, I think I'm most excited about being able to explore the CN more when I move out this way. Tonight after I dropped a carload of signal parts in my storage unit, I heard the CN local getting an eastbound warrant out of CB. With an SD60 and creamy light, I had to make an attempt on it. I hit my primary spot here with the old code line, but was thwarted by traffic on my super-backlit zoom shot.
