"Honey, I know, I know
I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out
For something new, that means you too
You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain"
- Prince Rogers Nelson

Do you know that your thoughts can influence not only other people and yourself, but food too.
If I want to give myself a treat I always have good thoughts towards myself, my body and mind and very importantly; the treat I am going to enjoy.
If you think thoughts like "I shouldn't eat this, its not healthy, I'm going to regret it afterwards", all your energy falls negatively and influence everything, even your food.
Being aware when you eat, not putting your head in your phone, newspaper, book, computer, but actually being there in every bite, does that you taste the flavors in a different way.
And it even is healthy in another way because you become aware of when you are full. And then you ought to stop.
And you will feel content.
Because you listened to yourself, your intuition.
That is why we have one, we should listen to it more.
I think that is the way to go.
Love you all♥, including myself 😁
Your truly, always, FlickrGrandma x
Do You know what's nice here ...?
... "
Sai cos'è bello, qui? Guarda: noi camminiamo, lasciamo tutte quelle orme sulla sabbia, e loro restano lì, precise, ordinate. Ma domani, ti alzerai, guarderai questa grande spiaggia e non ci sarà più nulla, un'orma, un segno qualsiasi, niente. Il mare cancella, di notte. La marea nasconde. È come se non fosse mai passato nessuno. È come se noi non fossimo mai esistiti. Se c'è un luogo, al mondo, in cui puoi pensare di essere nulla, quel luogo è qui. Non è più terra, non è ancora mare. Non è vita falsa, non è vita vera. È tempo. Tempo che passa. E basta..."

another tulip - but I 💛 the shape of this beautiful yellow one and the almost pure black back ground - you can see a wee bit of green foliage. Sweet!
I know i'm obsessed with beaches skies and reflections, but it's a beautiful obsession, and i hope it's not harmful/ Hardly any days are fruitless, and you never know what will unfold before your eyes. The only days I lose my desire for my daily dose of f love and reflections are really clear blue sky days. I used to love Sue dancing to this song by Alabama 3, and shouting out, "shoot me up in the mainline, with a hypo full of love" She always did, and the beach always does for me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=teEsNn7YuKI
Nobody knows what prompted the Ursuline nuns in Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Waver (Belgium) to make the rather bold decision to build this truly magnificent Art Nouveau building. After all, this style was considered hyper-modern in 1900. And yet, this enchanting Winter Garden with its colourful stained glass cupola was considered the most stunning feature of their boarding school for young girls from rich families. What’s even more intriguing is that nobody knows who designed the Winter Garden.
Anyone that knows me well, will know how important this shot is to me and how long I've wanted to achieve this. Maybe its a bit overdone but it is the jewel in the crown for many Dorset photographers (and elsewhere too) if the conditions are like this.
I've had many failed attempts and they all involve a really painful trek up a steep hill in the dark, when you reach the top you need an extra 5 minutes to recover before you can even set up. Translation: three months of daily yoga is not enough preparation!
The mist was stretching out in all directions. I took many shots (I've already posted my favourite) but I thought it was good to try a pano.. I like shots where the castle is a bit further away showing the surrounding mist.
It means so much that my first trip further afield was this!

Do you know that in Europe thousands and thousands (more than 18k for luftansa this winter and same thing for the other airlines) of planes will fly empty just to keep their airport slots ?
In fact this is because airlines have to use 50% of their slots in order to keep them : nice rule ... but why did they still use it with covid ? It's stupid !!!
So we can no more use our cars to reduce CO2 emission but planes have to fly empty ? This world is mad ...
ps: I dont know if it is the case for this plane in particular, I did the photo as he was flying low over my head ...
Savez-vous qu'en Europe des milliers et des milliers (plus de 18k pour luftansa cet hiver et idem pour les autres compagnies aériennes) d'avions voleront à vide juste pour garder leurs créneaux aéroportuaires ?
En fait c'est parce que les compagnies aériennes doivent utiliser 50% de leurs créneaux afin de les conserver : belles règles... mais pourquoi sont-elles encore utilisées avec le covid ? C'est stupide !!!
Nous ne pouvons donc plus utiliser nos voitures pour réduire les émissions de CO2 mais les avions doivent voler à vide ? Ce monde est fou ...
ps : photo d'illustration, je ne sais pas si celui ci volait à vide, je l'ai pris car il est passé bas au dessus de ma tête ...

I know, I know, these raptors tend to be a common sight, but I absolutely adore them, and it's rare for a wild red tail hawk to not care too much about people and sit around while people walk by. Also rare for me to get a shot of one that isn't on something man made. So I'm happy with this shot!
We have been inundated with two packs of coyotes in the ravine so I have been hesitant to go down with my dog by myself. Last night we all went down and I saw a Mallard pair, eight Golden Eyes, a mama Merganser with eleven red-headed chicks, a huge beaver, three different kinds of gorgeous butterflies, five Warblers and this Night Heron! That is what I SAW - but, you never know what else is watching...
You know what you should do? Definitely get last minute things from Necrotize. Though, don't worry, there will be more fun stuff coming to Salvage Station s o o n. I'll definitely be showing off some of that ASAP.
For now, though, get a ride over to Necrotize!
Know what you want to do,
hold the thought firmly, and
do every day what should be done,
and every sunset will see you
that much nearer to your goal.

First #Sunset of the Year 2017
Taken in the Deep Countryside in West Wales (Ceredigion)
ƒ/7.1
85.5 mm
1/1600
ISO 160
Dedicated to C.F. (ILYWAMHASAM)
Jena, Thuringia, Germany on an early Sunday morning in January before dawn during snowfall
{35mm: ƒ/9.0 | 10 s | ISO 640 | manual White Balance | long-exposure on tripod | slightly cropped}
So, those of you who know me, know that I often wander off in the woods and hills for hours on end camera in hand. Unfortunately on this occasion I made every mistake imaginable, wrong kit, kit missing, wrong settings and rushing to catch the light.
At first glance, you may think I’m crazy. The image looks decent enough right? Look closer and I’ll list everything that went wrong with this excursion.
1 - Wrong lens. I have been working with one focal length lately as an exercise to improve composition. This scene would have been so much better on a wide angle, but I only had a 40mm Macro lens with me.
2 – No tripod. I decided to pack light one camera, one lens, no tripod. I normally take a full bags worth of kit on a hike
3 – I shot in Jpg instead of Raw. The previous night I had decided to check the shutter count on my Nikon D7200. For some reason this only works 9only ways I have found to do this) is to upload a jpg to an online service that can then tell you. Foolishly I forgot to change back to Raw before I went out the next day!
4 - Rushing the shot. As it was getting on in the afternoon, the sun was dropping really quickly. I was already on my way out of the woods when i spotted the scene. With the combination of falling light and wrong lens, I rushed to get an image as quickly as I could
While there’s nothing wrong with shooting in jpg format. It really doesn’t leave a lot of editing doors open for a final image. Especially when shooting directly into the sun in a scene like this one. So, I decided to publish this as to always remind me to check and double check everything in the future.
I'e decided I will be writing a blog post to go into more detail about my "faux pas" later this week

You Will Never Know - Imany
It breaks my heart 'couse I know
You're the one for me
Don't you feel sad,
There never was a story, obviously
It'll never be, oh
And You would never know
I would never show
What I feel, what I need from you, no
And You wouldnever know
I would never show
What I feel, what I need from you
With every smile comes my reality, irony
You won't find out what has been killing me
Can't you see me?
Can't you see?
And You would never know
I would never show
What I feel, what I need from you, no
And You would never know
I would never show
What I feel, what I need from you, no, no
You would never know
I would never show
What I feel, what I need from you, no, no
No no…
The Weeknd - Moth to a flame X Faith Transition
Like a moth to a flame
I'll pull you in, I'll pull you back to what you need initially
It's just one call away
And you'll leave him, you're loyal to me
But this time I let you be
'Cause he seems like he's good for you
And he makes you feel like you should
And all your friends say he's the one
His love for you is true
But does he know you call me when he sleeps?
But does he know the pictures that you keep?
But does he know the reasons that you cry?
Or tell me, does he know where your heart lies?
Where it truly lies
Yeah
You should be with him, I let you go from time
You should stay with him
'Cause he seems like he's good for you
And he makes you feel like you should
And all your friends say he's the one
His love for you is true (hey)
But does he know you call me when he sleeps? (No, no)
But does he know the pictures that you keep? (Oh)
But does he know the reasons that you cry?
Or tell me, does he know where your heart lies?
Where it truly lies
Right here with me, babe
Where it truly lies
My bed, babe
Where it truly lies
In my arms, babe
Where it truly lies
(Oh-oh-oh)
Where it truly lies
Where it truly lies
(Hey)
Where it truly lies
We know we all can stand together
We have the power to be powerful
Believing we can make it better

We all know frogs go la-di-da-di-da, they don't go mm, mm, ahh. One daylight LED lamp and three LED spotlights, edited in Luminar and macOS Mojave.
Young birches, I walk among them. They grow almost attached to each other, as if seeking refuge from each other to grow big. Now in the fall, they gather the leafy greens back into their trunks to strengthen themselves for the cold winter. I want to strengthen myself too, as I walk past them, I touch each one's smooth body. I believe and hope that some of their vitality and warmth will be transferred to me. For the winter.

👱♀️🎧 Somewhere Only We Know (Keane)
THE SEEKER
I am in a house, I know it well, but I have never been there before. There is no light, just me. The halls are empty, it is without life, without the things to bring it to life, no pictures, no tables, no chairs. It is a bleak house, dark, shadows, and even the light that seeps through the cracks, is dark. In the middle of the room there is foreboding, it is under the floor. I feel my hair stand on end.
I look to the door, the door, into which one must never go.
I stand and know that I can't run, I can't hide, because the dark of the house, is outside too. And I know it's time to leave, but I find myself walking, walking toward the door, the door that I must never open, as it leads to the room, the room into which one must never go.
I am sweating, I want to call out, I am trying to scream, it's primal, but there is no sound, there is no voice. I am unable to call for help. I try to move my arms, but they are frozen.
I am though the door, the room that vibrates with fear, darkness - something is moving in the secret passage, the secret passage that lies beyond the room. It is a narrow corridor, and I am bending to walk into the passage, and it leads to a room above the house, in the attic, I feel the cold, it is icy, and I fear for my very soul - I feel the negative energy that seeping into my skin. I am trying to shout, trying to leave, trying to turn away, wanting to run. A shape emerges out of the wall, it comes to me, draining all the goodness from me, and I feel terrible fear and dread, I want to fight it, but I am helpless, I am powerless, I can't move, but I know now, I must face it, I must fight for my life, and every fibre in me is screaming - and I remember .
I have been here before, and it is always the same, when the presence comes I wake up screaming and sweating, my pulse is racing. I have been through this many times before, and I am shaking and quaking, but I realize - despite these confrontations - I do not wake up dead, just terrified, and I begin to feel that perhaps, perhaps, these is no danger here. I have spent nights telling myself before I fall asleep that if this dream comes to me again, meet fear with love.
Now I know I was dreaming. I am out of the icy house. I am awake, lying in my bed. I am calmer now, I try to move, but nothing happens. I can't move anything, but I can see my room, and I feel a rising panic, and I feel the icy cold. There is someone standing at the end of my bed, staring at me. I am trying to scream and move my arms, to wake up, nothing happens. I see him standing clearly in my room, he has followed me here .
Now I will need to fight, but I can’t move, and he can, what are the rules in this situation, I am powerless. It is terrifying. Move !, Move !, Run ! Nothing. Then I remember “Do not get angry, that gives it power”. I stop struggling, start to calm down. He isn’t moving or doing anything, he never has, he just stands there.
"Hi", I think to myself.
"Can you hear me" it says in a sweet peaceful voice.
Oh that's great, he isn't even hostile, he’s doing his best not to terrify me and here I am like a wild animal, scared of the unknown, that's just great. He has been coming to talk to me, to give me wisdom -but his presence has seemed so terrifying , that he can’t even talk to me. I guess he has been coming and waiting patiently for me to meet him with love, not anger and fear. Well this is embarrassing.
I didn't expect a dialog, and I am now wanting to wake up. It's not fear this time, this guy had a very calm and gentle voice, but James Bond just climbed through my window and I sensed things were only going to go downhill from here.
Note to self, you got to do something about the quality of your dreams - oh, and thanks for the lesson in love and fear.
PS - The next day, many, many years ago - we went swimming with friends in mountain pools. The river water in Africa is dark and you can’t even see your feet in the water. We swam across a large, deep pool. I jumped into a big pothole at the end of the pool. There was a waterfall crashing into one side of it and the sandy bottom felt soothing on my feet. No one else wanted to jump in, and I realized, I had forgotten to be scared. The dream sequence has never returned.
PPS – Lucid dreaming is common, and trying to wake up during a nightmare is too – the immobility comes from your body preventing you from sleepwalking in response to dream situations – so it can feel disturbing while dreaming, but it is a good self preservation mechanism that is there to protect you from real harm. So the fear is gone and I am happy to dream on. And I work with dreams and treat them as an active state. If something is bugging you, think about it before you sleep, it can help resolve while you are off to never, never land

I know not another 1 but its a blackcap.Taken years but finally a male out of the shrubs.
The blackcap is a distinctive greyish warbler, the male has a black cap, and the female a chestnut one. Its delightful fluting song has earned it the name 'northern nightingale'. Although primarily a summer visitor birds from Germany and north-east Europe are increasingly spending the winter in the UK.

I'll have a few final sunset shots from Ross tomorrow, but this one marks the end of our current exploration into the origins of the Ross Bridge and its astounding art. I hope that I have convinced you these carvings are NOT the work of a madman who made bizarre grotesques as mere decoration.
I realise that is the way most people have seen the Ross Bridge art, if they have even bothered to look at the bridge too closely. We all know how often the tourist experience is one viewed through the lens of a few selfies. Very often we are not actually "present" when in tourist mode. That's a tragedy in my view. I dare say quite a few locals still scratch their heads about the meaning of the bridge too.
But this work is far from meaningless. I hope I have shown that. But more than this, it is a call to recognise that no matter how dark our history may have been at times, the chance for redemption and renewal is there.
But, and this is a very important "but" that the Prophet Daniel from Ross wanted us to hear: We cannot renew ourselves as children of the light until we face our deeds as children of the darkness. There is no forgiveness without repentance if I can put it in distinctly Christian terms.
Daniel Herbert did not believe in cheap grace. His freedom was bought with a heavy price, but in the end he died a free man, a man whose conscience was clear.
"Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!" - Matthew 25:23.

All I know is that this is the husk of a tropical nut. I had the privilege of visiting a wide range of tropical forests earlier in life and this was a nut I found beneath a tree during one of those visits. It must be about 30 years old and you can still hear the nut rattling around inside. Please comment with any ideas if you recognise what husk it might be. It's about 60mm (2-1/2 inch) in its maximum dimension. Strange how one hangs on to these small mementos! Maybe I should plant or open it!
Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
Did you know that Pine Siskins can survive in very cold temperatures? The metabolic rates of this species are typically 40% higher than a "normal" songbird. When temperatures plunge as low as -70 degrees C or -94 degrees F, they can accelerate that rate up to five times normal for several hours! (CornellLab)

I know this man
Who is dear to my heart
Suddenly one day
It was torn all apart
This man taught me everything
That I needed to know
But I never really listened
Until he had to go
He gave me love
And touched my life
It's all over now
He no longer has to fight
He tried to teach me
Right for wrong
The day he left
I wasn't that strong
He is gone now
It is hard to believe
This man is my dad
Who I will never see
But I will see him again
This I know
The day will come
When it's time for me to go
So, I'll hold him dear
And close to my heart
Cause the day we meet
I know we'll never be torn apart.
