You just never know what Keefer Lake will offer up on any given day .... this was taken last night as the sun set. The black flies and mosquitoes were eating me alive - but I didn't notice - much. Over the course of about 40 minutes I took 110 photos. I could have taken more but I had to stop to try and take it all in from time-to-time.
Parts 2 and 3 will be posted tomorrow and the day after.
The anatomy of a sunrise that I did years earlier is in the first comment box.

"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

Backdrop/Pose: Guarding
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!
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!

hold the thought firmly, and

I know this is so similar to my other Brownie shot - but I have not been feeling good and I have just been at a lost for shots - still I hope you enjoy it and you have a wonderful Tuesday - blessings to all of my Flickr friends :) !
Did you know that the history of artificial plants dates back to ancient times? Even back then, people used all sorts of materials like silk or wool to recreate plants for decorative purposes. This is how they developed and used the first artificial plants to beautify their homes.
The real breakthrough for artificial plants didn't come until the 20th century, around the 1960s to be precise. This is when artificial plants experienced a dramatic rise in popularity due to their low maintenance and versatility. Various materials were used here as well, such as silk or plastic.

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.

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

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

My girl Oriana lost so many points this week by not telling me that Magika is making hair in male sizes now. She insists she did but it must have been when I wasn't paying attention so who's fault is that really?
This is Vanessa and it also comes in a tossed forward over the shoulders version in the same pack. There's hundreds of colours in the one HUD which was glorious yet wasted on the guy who only wears white.
Sigh...
As you know, we can't paste slurls but you've been to Magika at some point so basically just check your TP history.
You know what? This lily was growing right alongside of a sidwalk last summer, so how could I not take a photo? )0:
I couldn't help but add an impressionism filter and alter the colours for Sliders Sunday (and to have a bit of fun)! HSS!
Thank you for stopping by and for leaving a comment, much appreciated. Have a great day!
I know it hurts
It's hard to breathe sometimes
These nights are long
You've lost the will to fight
Is anybody out there?
Can you lead me to the light?
Is anybody out there?
Tell me it'll all be alright
You are not alone
I've been here the whole time singing you a song
I will carry you
I will carry you
I know you can't remember how to shine
Your heart's a bird without the wings to fly
Is anybody out there?
Can you take this weight of mine?
Is anybody out there?
Can you lead me to the light?
You are not alone
I've been here the whole time singing you a song
I will carry you
I assume this is a rooftop restaurant, but I don't know. I just liked the lights reflecting on the water tanks.. Maybe my NYC friends might know the name of it. Photo taken at 28th and 6th.

I know it's just a "standard" photo but every now and then I like to photograph something like that.
Especially when the weather changes so beautifully. The sun tries to take the lead what this day in Hamburg was not so easy for them.
What I like even more is the variety of moods in the photos. Therefore, I decided to also post such a photo. Bad weather or not it is exciting to develop such photos. I was able to take many photos here with such very different contrasts and moods. Anyway look what you might discover here so.

Pulling me further...
Further than I've been before.
Making me stronger.
Shaking me right to the core.
I don't know what's in the stars.
Never heard it from above, the world isn't ours.
But I know what's in my heart..
If you ain't mine I'll be torn apart.
I don't know who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone...
So I'm gonna love you now, like it's all I have.
I know it'll kill me when it's over.
I don't wanna think about it, I want you to love me now.
Everyone knows that the largest North American Mammal is the bison, right? More specifically, the Wood Bison...right?
But there is another mammal, the Northern Elephant Seal, that breeds, and gives birth on the coast of North America. And it spends a few weeks each year lying around on North American coastal beaches while molting.
As for size, a smaller adult Elephant Seal Bull weighs in at over 3,000 pounds. The largest ones tip the scales at over 5,000 pounds. A larger bull Wood Bison weighs in at around 2,200 pounds.
I'm just sayin'.
Road to Nowhere
Talking Heads
Well we know where we're going
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowing
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out
Yeah
We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Taking that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride
I'm feeling okay this morning
And you know
We're on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go
We're on a ride to nowhere
Come on inside
Taking that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride
Maybe you wonder where you are
I don't care
Here is where time is on our side
Take you there, take you there
We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere
There's a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
And it's alright, baby, it's all right
And it's very far away
But it's growing day by day and it's all right
Baby, it's all right
Would you like to come along
You can help me sing the song
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
They can tell you what to do
But they'll make a fool of you
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
There's a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
And it's alright, baby, it's all right
And it's very far away
But it's growing day by day and it's all right
Baby, it's all right, yeah
Would you like to come along
You can help me sing the song
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
They can tell you what to do
But they'll make a fool of you and it's all right
Baby, it's all right
We're on a road to nowhere

Yeeaaah, we know Dante didn't have tats and gauged ears. Who cares?
I have been creating original characters for most of my life. Many have stuck with me for over twenty years and been far more fleshed out. One of them, my Undine, Itai, gets paired up with a nephilim later in her life. I had never really created much about him aside from the idea of him.
After the DMC reboot, I started to envision him more like Dante from this version of the game (despite that so many I know hated the reboot). So until I manage to flesh that character out more, you can either picture this as that nephilim or as Dante. Either way, yum.
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.
I know my mind and I have made my choice.
Not from your temper does my doom depend;
Love me or love me not, you have no voice
In this, my portion to the end.
Your presence and your favors, the full part
That you could give, you now can take away:
What lies between your beauty and my heart
Not even you can trouble or betray,
Mistake me not – unto my inmost core
I do desire your kiss upon my mouth;
They have not craved a cup of water more
That bleach upon the deserts of the south:
Here might you bless me; what you cannot do
Is bow me down, that have been loved by you.

Oh and a recommendation, check out the movie Boyhood by Richard Linklater. Best thing I saw in a very long time!
I know this is a sad song for Valentine's Day but.....I actually find it very romantic. Haven't we all been here? And sometimes.......we get what we want. I know I did. :)
"On My Own" by Frances Ruffelle
On my own, pretending he's beside me
All alone, I walk with him 'til morning
Without him, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes and he has found me
In the rain, the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
in the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me, forever and forever
"I'd love to know
how the trees in your yard behaved
When you were born,
whether the air was thick
and whether it was about to rain.
Maybe I was
young tree in your garden,
from there I know you so well ..
