If you know a kid that you want to get interested in the ocean, science or the outdoors, this fish may pique their interest. It's a Striated Frogfish, also known as a Hairy Frogfish. Some have a lot more of a hairy look than this one. When I was with Scott, Judy, and Marie, they were finding a lot of Frogfish but this one was on relatively clean sand and booking it on his way to somewhere. (Personally, I think he had a date.) They "walk" on their front fins but usually stay still, fishing with the little artificial lure in front of their mouth. When a small fish gets to close, attracted to the lure, they open their mouth rapidly, creating an intake of water, prey and all. I read that they have the fastest bite in nature, but that may be a claim like "The best BBQ west of the Mississippi", but I believe it. Another critter from the Blue Heron Bridge dive.

“‘Why, yes,’ he said, ‘I know of a cure for everything: salt water.’

“‘Salt water?’ I asked him.

“‘Yes,’ he said, ‘in one way or the other. Sweat, or tears, or the salt sea.’

“I said: ‘I have tried sweat and tears. The salt sea I meant to try, but a woman in black lace prevented me.’

From “Seven Gothic Tales”

In 1934 Dinesen published the short story collection “Seven Gothic Tales” which included “The Deluge at Norderney”. One of the characters named Jonathan Maersk, became unhappy when he learned that his father, ship captain Clement Maersk, was not his genetic father. He visited the ocean and contemplated ending his life, but a woman in black lace unnerved him when she appeared and asked to die with him. Jonathan later spoke to his father Clement and asked whether he knew of a cure for his melancholy.

Isak Dinesen and Tania Blixen were pen names of Karen Blixen who wrote the books “Out of Africa” and “Babette’s Feast” which were made into award-winning movies. This article will use the name Isak Dinesen.

Yes I know its two weeks after Halloween but I liked the theme of "My Domain" so much that I decided to make a few small changes to make it more of a sanctuary type of place, somewhere your modern witch might also go to relax and unwind. DRD's Bloodcroft Castle gacha provided me with just the pieces I needed to achieve that goal. I usually post detailed credits with my images but I am cheating this time as most of the credits are here: www.flickr.com/photos/131723058@N03/37596757536/in/datepo..., with the exception of a few pieces by DRD. If there is anything in the picture that you don't see a credit for, please let me know and I will send you the item info.

Thanks and Enjoy!

Ok so... it all started like this .. i was walking with Lori when all of a sudden i was like "hey why not try this bike ..." but knowing me, so clumsy as i am, i spread me like a beautiful pancake ... under the eyes of my dear sister, was so shocked that she left to hide behind a tree ... to cry or laugh I do not know but she suffered with me .... ah ah ah ah in her own way.

Okay okay I know, It's actually "Made it Ma, Top of the World!" but I'm taking artistic licence thank you very much!

Another image from our lovely morning on Mam Tor with Lose Hill hiding in the haze from a couple of weeks past.

Thank you so much to everyone who has posted and commented recently, I sincerely apologise for not answering just yet nor being being as active on your streams as well but I will endeavour to catch up when a few personal bis are out of the way :o)

I know, I know, another Rainier shot. Told ya I was out! :-)

taken just after the alpenglow died off, liked this spot better but just missed that golden couple minutes. taken above Shadow Lake, Sunrise area.

I put a box where the climbers are, unfortunately on here you can only see the blazed trail, but in lightroom I can see them well enough to count them. :-)

I was able to put the cropped version in comments, kinda cool.

" I know, we have to get up on the fence", said Paddington "Cat always comes that way"

Frīda, impressed by idea about new dress from Monsiour Scout's shop, was ready to climb up the fence

Nessie: " That was too much for me, no more climbing! I will watch the holes under fence in case Spot the Cat decides come incognito! And let one of Twin Leopards stay with me here!"

But Paddington, Frīda and Twin Leopard climbed up on the fence.

Unfortunately Spot, the Cat, was not around

We had no more time to search for him

I know I have most likely posted pictures of this bike before but ... well, it's so photogenic! LOL We actually had about 4 inches of snow on Tuesday, the first snow of the season! This bike sits in my yard in a small garden next to the swing. Two symbols of childhood (to me) that are timeless and bring many fond memories. Sadly, most of the snow has melted away already but I have hopes of a repeat before the winter is gone away completely.

You know this is one of those pics that I've been wanting to post since 2016, but somehow it always got moved to the back. I actually like this one a lot, so finally here it is!

A Rock Wren sticks to its wheelhouse, flitting among the outcroppings along the Rancho Viejo trail in Big Bend Ranch State Park, Presidio County, Texas.

You know, the full moon whispered to me that day...

"I wanted you to see me...

... that's why I was shining."

Of course, Bo's doesn't really look like this. Bo's is a local staple since 1954 in Tampa. Everyone knows Bo's. It's where I go when the urge for a hot fudge sundae hits.

I know that you've been hurt before and

You hide your face with your disguise

'Cause someone filled your head with lies

But you don't have to worry this time

No, you don't have to worry

'Cause I would never let you down

I will never let you fade away another day

Don't run away, run away

From up and down, and still somehow

It's cloud illusions I recall

I really don't know clouds at all

I know in some countries flowers are blooming already, but here is the same old and beautiful winter.

Waiting forward for spring, but in the meanwhile a photo of today's walking. Night temperature in this weekend will be -22°C, but days are sunny and beautiful.

A child knows exactly what happiness is, much better than many adults:

Dad, it's better to be happy than rich, we would also have the lighter wallet to run faster! Federico, 5 yo

Un bimbo sa esattamente cos'è la felicità, molto meglio di tanti adulti:

Papà conviene essere felici invece che ricchi, così si ha pure il portafogli più leggero e si può correre più forte! Federico, 5 anni

Everyone knows that most agricultural products require the fields to change every season, meaning you need to let fields sit fallow sometimes, to rest. The same is true at the Wooden Show Tulip Farm. Every year the tulips are in a different field. They have one field that lines up particularly well with Mt. Hood, that's the field they used this year. The last time this field was used was when they shut down the whole event for Covid. It's been about 6 years since the public got to see flowers in this field.

I had the treat this year of having my son greet me there, he worked at the event this year, his first job. He is also know getting into photography, so we were shooting side by side, how neat is that?

Let me know what you think if this one, my wife liked it, which means it had tons of color (she only likes the colorful shots).

I know it at the moment I click the shutter :-)

If you have lost a loved one, know that because of the Conservation of Energy, their energy has not died. Remember the First Law of Thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. All their energy, every vibration, every BTU of heat, every wave of every particle that was your loved one remains with you in this world. Know that amid energies of the cosmos, they gave as good as they got.

According to the Law of the Conservation of Energy, not a bit of them is gone; they're just less orderly.

-Adaptation of "Eulogy from a Physicist" by Aaron Freeman

It's funny how such creatures, simplistic in so many ways, can inhabit personalities more complex and deep by comparison to the shallow, murky waters of the WalMart kiddie pools that some human beings are made of. He was my shadow, my sentinel, my buddy, my pal. Little did I know that this Valentine's Day gift from an ex would lead to a lasting companionship who's absence is felt, even to this day.

Some people would scoff and say "Oh, it's just a cat." As heartless as those people are, he was so much more than the sum of himself. He probably would've followed me through the Gates of Hell and back, if I'd let him... and give them a piece of his mind in the process, since he was a chatterbox.

Where people would often fail, he would succeed.

Rest in peace, buddy.

I'm obsessed with their beauty and I love how they flutter around my garden daily... soon this will be over...

I know I have said it before but it just amazes me what nature is capable of. Walking miles in this canyon, seeing what nature has done was just mesmerizing. This is one fall expample of what I saw and captured!! Kris...

You know winter is close in New England when you have to start to worry about shadows at three in the mid afternoon. New England Central train 608 makes a very late run south approaching Chestnut Street in Monson, MA just before 4PM. The late departure from Palmer made this the only shot on the southbound chase with usable light as everywhere else was shadowed in. There are currently only two or three NECR units left in the classic blue and gold paint so shooting one leading is always a win.

I know that you too have not had an easy life, you have a chance to return to a normal life, so seize this chance and continue without thinking of those who hurt you ...

So I hope with all my heart you will take the right path 😢
