"To whom it may concern
I've always tried to learn
That the good days, need to last..."
Jimmy Buffett - "Tides"
All images and art work by me, Tom. One photo, textures by Tom. Thank You
Hurricane on the way to St Augustine as I post this. So, I am hoping in the tides, too.

Tune - Song of Hope
“Song of Hope” - to restore the faith in the current state of our humanness and to offer a faithful hand, because it’s the kind of message we need to unite us.
don't loose HOPE
when the SUN goes down
the STARS come out
“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.” -Emily Dickinson

Young birds are starting to appear, begging for food although most seem to be able to feed themselves just fine when the moms aren't looking.
Happy Monday to all and thank you for your visit!
"Don't expect me to repeat everything that has already been said this year.
I don't look to the past, I exist for the future!
My name is Hope!
I know ... There are times when you almost lose me, but whenever that happens, we end up together again.
Hope does not exist without you, and you cannot exist without it.
Believe in 2021! Believe!"

"Hope" is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all
And sweetest- in the Gale is heard
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm-
I've heard it the chillest land-
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - Never - In Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

Image taken at Crystal Gardens -
It was a freezing morning, I was awaiting on the bridge but fog was so heavy. I took couple long exposure shots then ready to leave. All suden the sky turned to red. It was amazing but I was expecting more. When the sun jumped above the water, I was changing the lens from wide angle to zoom. When I saw this view, I felt so warm.
Another older image that was taken while on a trip to Isreal. This is the church of the Holy Sepulchre where the body of Jesus Christ was taken and placed into a tomb. Today was the Feast of the Three Magi or the Three Kings also known as the Epiphany. I thought this image was a good symbol of light and hope for the new year.
Es gibt berechtigte Hoffnung auf einen Corona Impfstoff in baldiger Zukunft.
Das ist ein echter Lichtblick in diesen dunklen Tagen.
Drücken wir die Daumen!
There is legitimate hope for a Corona vaccine in the near future.
This is a real ray of light in these dark days.
Let's keep our fingers crossed!

This work is dedicated to the activist and Congressman, Rep. John Lewis (1940-2020) a good man in every way. Remembering his wise words
"Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble."
He will be sorely missed!

Thank you very much for all your nice visits, comments and favourites! ❤
.... on the darkest days in life.
We should keep a little light moment, to bright up the world around us. Even if it's only a very small sparkling in the sky.
I am not generally that successful at bird photography even when I have consciously gone out to see birds. This shot of the chaffinch was pure luck. Mary and I were on a walk recently I had taken a shot or two of some wild flowers . I spotted the bird and took a couple of shots without changing settings not really expecting anything reasonable. In fact I am quite pleased with this one I know it could be sharper but for a grab shot its not too bad . It is very heavily cropped
Hope you are all managing to cope in this strange New World we are living in . Of course I hope you and yours remain well and safe
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
Don’t take for granted,
just how lucky you are;
To be spending this time with people
who love you.
Complete lockdown, total isolation.
Still this loneliness makes its home,
It burrows deep in my soul,
nothing less than a dull ache.
It’s so easy to lose sight of what matters.
But still, despite all this
I see a flower desperate to be alive.
She blooms unexpectedly,
twirling to reach the sun’s rays.
Showing me that it’s possible.
Reminding me that there’s hope.
Even in the darkest times,
even when it seems like the end,
you can find a way to grow.
I love this pic because this dog, to me, illustrated hope. After a previous life of despicable abuse, why would he not be very unsure of me when we first met? Yet within a few minutes of my respect for him, and a few soft words to him; his tail started to wag, his ears relaxed, he popped his head out, and he looked up almost adoringly at me. I could feel his trust and warmth.
Whilst this experience nicely stroked my ‘good with dogs’ ego, and touched my heart, this was much more certainly down to the love, care and understanding of his new owner and companion.
Bravo sir with the red beard, you are good good man.
This morning's sunrise is all about hope. No matter how bad the situation theres always help & people who will listen.
Pieta House is a voluntary organisation that's helps people that are feeling down & depressed. Its a totally self funded charity.
Given the current situation charity's now more than ever need our help.
Normally today would see thousands of people all over Ireland out for the sunrise walk,but bacause of the Covid pandemic this wasn't possible.
So I'm appealing to everyone that can donate please remember Pieta House.
Theres always light at the end of the tunnel.
As the sun fell on this mid- October day so did the hopes of continuing the season. It is amazing how the small disappointments build the most character.
EXTREMELY VOCAL, and can be a proficient mimic of both animate and inanimate sounds. Love the way a starling walks with characteristic swagger, and the flight is rather undulating and the wings look pointed and triangular in outline. /// SOMETHING out of the norm. for me, but felt it had something of appeal going for it, so have risked posting it, hope you enjoy it.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP, hope you are keeping well and enjoying this hot weather, have a great weekend, stay safe and may God bless you............................Tomx.

"OUR EARS ARE CLOSED"
Sea and mountains, valleys and streams
Night and day were all in Gods dreams,
The Garden of Eden with its precious tree
The Son He gave to set us free.
The seed He placed in the heart He made
Don't let its flowers wither and fade,
Is the ear closed to His constant plea
For in truth we live to disagree.
Have we not learned a thing from the past?
Why is the blindness we have so vast ?
We've ignored His word since time began
To do as we will has been our plan.
Has the Saviour's death not opened our eyes
When His blood was shed for our demise,
Mocked and beaten, betrayed from within
God's Holy Lamb pierced for our sin.
When the reaper comes and we walk to the gate
Do we all stand in line, to wait and wait,
Or will the one who gives life lead you through
And walk with you to paradise and life anew ?
===========================================
