Well, I know I’ve never been to Spain, can’t say for sure about this little guy, though, what with all the worm holes and Ley Lines in my yard. Actually, he looks a lot like Michelle’s, so the wormhole thing would not surprise me. This could have easily turned into a silhouette shot but with the help of Lightroom I was able to make a beauty shot out of it. So, we started spring with a Robin and we are concluding summer with a Robin. As per usual, there are ten thousand different ways to present this, but I decided to keep cropping to a minimum because I fell in love with the leaves. But as the song says Oklahoma, Arizona, what does it matter …
The river knows where to flow, finding a path as it goes. It travels around small islands, over a steep drop, and then carves through a steep gorge on its path downstream. A large mist cloud forms and a rainbow appears.
The water levels were lower and calmer closer to the shoreline and a group of ducks were dabbling. The gulls were busy flying and feeding in the river. It may be cold but there is life on the river. The temperature was -9 Celsius with a windchill around -15 Celsius. A beautiful and sunny winter day was in store. The walking path in this section beside the river was mostly icy. This pathfinder wore a good pair of boots and tread carefully and slowly.
For #FlickrFriday theme of #Pathfinder
Have a nice day! Stay safe!

I always know when autumn is upon us. The days grow shorter, a chill electrifies the air, and the camellia sasanquas in my hedge in my rear garden start to flower. Well, there may me no chill in the air - quite the contrary actually - however my camellias are budding and the first perfect bloom has appeared.
My "Plantation Pink" camellia sasanqua is always the first of my camellias to blossom in Autumn out of the specimens in my camellia hedge at the rear of my garden, and it seems to have thrown almost overnight. Where yesterday there were tight buds, today there are crepe like blooms.
Vigorous and fast growing, Camellia Sasanqua “Plantation Pink” is an upright evergreen shrub with masses of large sweetly scented single to semi-double, soft pink flowers and a wonderful centre of golden yellow stamens. The blooms occur over quite a long period between March and June in the Southern Hemisphere which makes them very popular. They are often used for hedges or to cover walls.
Important to know: Iguanas are capable of severely injuring people, other animals and themselves when their body language messages are not recognized. Most iguanas clearly sign that trouble is ahead. They nod their head and wave their dewlap side to side.
The dewlap is a fold of loose skin hanging from the neck or throat of an animal, like a cow. Iguanas use their dewlap to communicate. First, an extended dewlap can simply be a greeting. An extended dewlap is often used to say hello to another creature during mating and most generally as a territorial sign. Second, it can be a form of protection. A threatened iguana may extend its dewlap to intimidate a predator into thinking it is much larger than it is. Third, an extended dewlap may be a sign that the iguana is trying to adjust its temperature. An extended dewlap on an iguana basking in the sun is quite normal. It may be catching sun to warm up or catching a breeze to cool off. So it's important to consider "the big picture" when reading an Iguana's body language.

Zoe opening one of her presents. Santa Dog was good to her. She knew there were presents for her under and tree and kept smelling the ones that were hers. She did a good job of opening most of them herself.

you know the rest...after having another eagles' earworm for the better part of a month and every single day, all day, it finally went away...it wasn't so bad though thanks to those fine harmonies but it did get a bit tiresome
i don't play much music while driving, it becomes too much, a sensory overload competing with the wind, the sound of tires on pavement and the sounds from the engine and transmission...so one of the few times we play some music, this happens...maybe i'm just getting old but the sensory overload thing has always been an issue...my ears used to ring for hours after being on the job for a several hundred miles
the night skies in some of the places we stayed were simply jaw-dropping, my attempt here a mere fraction of the full effect, the silence here was probably even bigger than the skies
and the earworm?

Did you know that during Autumn, we have a changing of the leaves in Florida also? Of course, not to the extent to the states north of us, but we do have a significant change. (More so in North Florida)
This picture was taken in Chipley, Florida. Many, many years ago, I would swim in this lake as a young fellow. It is known as Blue Lake Park and is a very nice place for families who want to have a picnic and go swimming. There is playground equipment for children too.
I'm sure you will notice the moon already coming out.
One more thing - I live about one mile from here and am able to take my grandchildren here for them to enjoy it as much as I did when I was their age.
Thank you for taking the time to read this...
You know the drill - warm coat, woolly hat, gloves, wellies, snow shovel and you're working hard to clear the snow from your driveway. That was me this afternoon. I had planned to treat my garden birds to a few live mealworms after my hard work but 'my' Robin wasn't prepared to wait. He flew into my garage and helped himself ... he knows where I keep them!
So, I thought it was fitting to post a Robin in the snow. This was taken in my garden a few years ago. The white feathers made him very distinctive but, sadly, last winter was last time I saw him.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
I know I'm seemingly obsessed with snow now but we've simply had SO much that it's really all I've photographed for many months now. We awake today in what is now supposed to spring to more of the white stuff. I'm 'pretty' certain there can't be any more though and spring will shoo it away soon!
This spot was a bit of a challenge to get to as it's nestled up on Grinton Moor in Swaledale but it's a favourite spot I visit and I didn't have it in the snow so made an effort (well....when I say I made an effort....I got my husband to drive the car who's a lot be experienced in winter driving than me - Southerner that I am lol!).
'I've come to believe that it’s worth getting to know your fearful mind... it’s never going to leave you. You can’t evict it. It’s more or less hardwired into your psyche and will accompany you onto every stage you set foot on, into every job interview you go to, and every new relationship you enter into. It’s there, and it’s not going to shut up.'

I'd like to let you know that I'll be interrupting my virtual journey through time and around the world for a few weeks, as I'm embarking on a real trip tomorrow.
I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Thailand, where I'll be staying until the second week of October.
Until then, I'll be sharing photos from home. Like this one of a beautiful sunrise in the Königsbrueck Heather in Saxony, not far from Dresden. The photo is two years old, but was taken around the same time of year. So, things should look similar here at the moment.
As for the next three and a half weeks, I don't yet know how much I'll post here, because this trip isn't a normal vacation for me.
Instead, this stay will also serve as a time to prepare my emigration plans for next year.
Ich möchte Euch mitteilen, dass ich meine virtuelle Reise durch die Zeit und durch die Welt für ein paar Wochen unterbrechen werde, da ich mich morgen auf eine echte Reise begeben werde.
Und zwar mache ich mich morgen früh auf nach Thailand, wo ich bis zur zweiten Woche im Oktober bleiben werde.
Bis es soweit ist, zeige ich Fotos aus der Heimat. Wie dieses hier von einem wunderschönen Sonnenaufgang in der Königsbrücker Heide in Sachsen unweit von Dresden. Das Foto ist zwar schon zwei Jahre alt entstand jedoch ungefähr zum selben Zeitpunkt im Jahr. Im Augenblick müsste es hier also ähnlich aussehen.
Was die nächsten drei einhalb Wochen anbelangt so weiß ich noch nicht, wie viel ich hier posten werde, denn diese Reise ist kein normaler Urlaub für mich.
Stattdessen dient der Aufenthalt auch der Vorbereitung meiner Auswanderungspläne im kommenden Jahr.
You know that feeling you get where you want to be left alone. You dont want to have anyone ask anything of you and you only want to have to consider yourself for once. Well I get that now and then because my life is so busy and I got what I wanted on Monday when everyone was off doing their own thing and I was left alone overnight ALL ON MY OWN. And it was great.....for about an hour ;-)
You know, we may download them to our computers, we may just leave them on our phones. And the physical print, the end of the process, is the thing for me. I like to hold and look at a beautiful object, and it feels like it completes that circle. Otherwise, the work just feels unfinished to me. If it just exists in the ether, or if it just exists as a cheap work print, it’s not quite there yet. I need to finish the project I began.

Thanks for your visits, favorites and comments. HMM !!!
I don't know if this picture is any good or not other than I like it. I took this yesterday in my front garden after the rain. It is a bush with black berries that were on it all winter and are now turning into little flowers as you can see from bottom left of the picture. I just think there is a nice light to this picture that I like. I hope somebody else will like it too...
Those who know me personally will know I have a little van and like to travel around the UK for my photography. I recently spent some time in Brecon and West Wales for just under two weeks. And I really loved spending time focusing on photography again. Just getting through some of the pictures now and so I have lots of wildlife and landscapes stories to come. :)
This Image is from the first night where I walked up Pen Y Fan. I set off at 1am and only reached the peak at 6am as I was too distracted taking pictures of the stars on the way up! But I was just in time for a beautiful sunrise. :) It was seriously an amazing walk in the night and would highly recommend to anyone.
Having some problems with photoshop at the moment and it seems to not work or crash when I'm using it anyone else having problems?

I think I know.
I do know!
These are the woods of Robert Frost, the ones that inspired his famous poem, "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening."
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
I really liked the way this tree seemed to be bending backwards and embracing it's brethren.
This photo is a collaborative effort by Redd and myself.
Redd took the photo and I edited. Thank you Redd,
For such a wonderful capture…

Do you know that too? You come to a beautiful place, a landscape panorama, a special stretch of coast by the sea or the shore of a lake and in the most beautiful places there are high fences, walls, villas or entire residential or hotel complexes.
Luckily it's not the case everywhere (in my beautiful Elbe Sandstone Mountains, for example, the view belongs to everyone) but I've experienced it several times in other places.
Then there are sights that you have to qualify for (either with money or with connections).
This also partly applies to this beautiful view of the famous “Blue Wonder”, a landmark of the city of Dresden.
When you get up here, you quickly notice that there are one house next to another. And every house has really high and opaque fences. Only from here, on the terrace of a rather chic restaurant, does one have a relatively unobstructed view.
Since I wanted to take a photo but didn't plan on eating here, I secretly sneaked onto the empty terrace (luckily it's winter) and set up my tripod in a dark corner.
Since I didn't bother anyone with anything, I think it's fine so far.
However, I would like to emphasize that I did not climb over any fences to gain entry. That would go way too far and I would skip the photo (which has already happened several times).
Kennt Ihr das auch ? Ihr kommt an einen wunderschönen Ort, ein Landschaftspanorama, einen besonderen Küstenabschnitt am Meer oder das Ufer einen Sees und an den schönsten Stellen stehen hohe Zäune, Mauern, Villen oder ganze Wohn- bzw. Hotelkomplexe.
Es ist zum Glück nicht überall der Fall (in meinem wunderschönen Elbsandsteingebirge gehört der Ausblick zum Beispiel jedem) doch ich habe es anderen Ortes schon mehrmals erlebt.
Dann sind es Anblicke, für die muss man sich qualifizieren (entweder mit Geld oder mit Beziehungen).
Dies gilt teilweise auch für diesen wunderschönen Blick auf das berühmte "Blaue Wunder" ein Wahrzeichen der Stadt Dresden.
Kommt man nämlich hier oben an, dann stellt man sehr schnell fest, dass hier ein Haus neben dem anderen steht. Und jedes Haus hat wirklich hohe und blickdichte Zäune. Nur von hier, der Terasse eines ziemlich schicken Restaurants hat man einen relativ freien Blick.
Da ich ein Foto machen wollte, jedoch nicht vor hatte hier zu essen, habe ich mich heimlich auf die leere Terasse geschlichen (zum Glück ist gerade Winter) und mein Stativ in einer dunklen Ecke aufgebaut.
Da ich niemanden bei irgend etwas gestört habe denke ich, dass geht soweit in Ordnung.
Ich möchte allerdings betonen, das ich über keinerlei Zäune geklettert bin um mir Zutritt zu verschaffen. Das ginge dann deutlich zu weit und ich würde das Foto sausen lassen (was auch schon mehrfach passiert ist).

You know the type. Goes to the store just for a liter of milk. Will not take a basket in the store and dumps it all on the belt by cash register. Carries it home under arm, in the pockets, under the chin. Shit, of course, always happens. Especially, if you carry eggs. I want it to write about Pawnbrokers; well, next time. Queensglad Pawnbrokers sign seems to be of older vintage, but the Pawnbrokers are around only since 1996.

On Christmas, can you remember that moment of perfect anticipation just as each gift was beginning to be unwrapped?
This is Clara and my grandson Ryfry (my family bestows the weirdest nicknames on each other) caught in one of those precious spans of time.
I KNOW I have MUCH DELAY to catch up (more than ever) ... but I need to post a new photo from time to time ...
Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several WEEKS later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs SEMAINES après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.

Photo prise lors d'une rando au cours de laquelle je suis allé au sommet du Merkur (668m) au départ de Ebersteinburg.
Je suis enfin allé faire une nouvelle rando hier !... Ma précédente rando datait du 9 août, c'est à dire il y a 41 jours (quasiment 7 semaines) en arrière ... Et sur le retour, j'ai senti à quel point mes jambes étaient en énorme manque d'entraînement ... J'ai terminé complètement au ralenti. J'avais envisagé d'aller faire un petit aller-retour sur les falaises du Battert que j'affectionne tant mais compte tenu de ma fatigue physique, j'y ai évidemment renoncé. Je pense que j'ai dû faire un peu moins de 500m de dénivelé et de 10km de distance. C'est peu pour un randonneur entraîné. Mais hier je n'étais qu'un randonneur occasionnel ... Hier soir j'étais rincé et cette nuit j'ai dormi comme une marmotte. Pas moyen de me lever ce matin ...
J'aurai donc fait 1 seule randonnée en août et 1 seule en septembre aussi car le week-end prochain, je vais à un mariage ... J'espère randonner un peu plus cet automne et cet hiver ...
Pour en revenir à la rando, elle a été copieusement baignée de soleil et c'est ce que j'étais venu chercher en poussant vers le Nord-Est car les nuages sont venus par le Sud-Ouest hier. Mais je n'ai guère pu faire de photos de paysage car le contre-jour était trop fort. par contre, la lumière était magnifique en forêt et il commence à y avoir de belles premières couleurs d'automne. Alors j'ai fait de nombreuses macros en contre-jour, en essayant d'avoir du bokeh.
Most of you know by now how I love 'playing' with light, a never ending beautiful challenge, food for my creative soul, which I so desperately need at the moment...
Each flower or object, most definitely people, seem to have a different 'personality' which I'm trying to capture.
Alstroemeria, the genus named after the Swedish baron Alströmer who brought them back from a trip to South America in 1753.
Also called the Peruvian Lily or Inca Lily, is a South American genus of about 50 species of flowering plants.
The flower, which resembles a miniature lily, is very popular for bouquets and flower arrangements in the commercial cut flower trade.
They have a vase life of about two weeks.
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

Did you know that over 8 million tons of plastic flow into our ocean every year? By 2050 it is expected that there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.
I've been thinking a lot about these stats recently and what I can do to raise awareness and give back - especially considering today is Earth Day.
So all sales from this weekend will be matched and donated to "Ocean Blue Project", a nonprofit committed to removing plastic from our ocean and beaches.

In order to know these hills, I ought to set foot upon their earth in quietness, perhaps. At least that seemed something painfully necessary at the time. Instead I go through in the sealed train, looking out from behind glass. I am cut off entirely from the hills and they are fairly abstract. What do I know of them, or they of me? There is no necessity for me to know them, or for them to know me. If I am to know those hills, if their rock faces are to be more than blanks, perhaps I have to climb them, be lost in their woods. However, it is a terrible thing to ride encased in the glass, sterile, train asking the hills who they are, and being cut off from any real answer in a sealed tube of scientifically cleaned and heated air, not the same air as fills the bitter, hostile woods outside. When the hills go to answer, they are defeated; so is the questioner. The answer can’t get through the glass.
-Thomas Merton, “January 2, 1941,” in Run to the Mountain, 282.
[Look to Your Soul]
I know if I'd been wiser this would never have occurred
but I wallowed in my blindness so it's plain that I deserve
for the sin of self-indulgence when the truth was writ quite clear
I must spend my life amongst the dead who spend their lives in fear
of a death that they're not sure of, of a life they can't control
It's all so simple really if you just look to your soul
Some say that I'm a wise man, some think that I'm a fool
It doesn't matter either way: I'll be a wise man's fool
For the lesson lies in learning and by teaching I'll be taught
for there's nothing hidden anywhere, it's all there to be sought
And so if you know anything look closely at the time
at others who remain untrue and don't commit that crime

Everyone knows about the Sunrise and Paradise entrances into Mount Rainier National Park, those who enjoy the long beautiful drive go around to the Stevens Canyon entrance, but the lonely forgotten washed out Carbon River entrance is still there, you just have to walk it. I'm not fond of this pic, but it does show what the hike in looks like walking through 800 year old Douglas Firs. It's dark and where the light beams in the rays cause magic steam. the boughs hundreds of feet above you creek and a lot of them are falling. Moss inches thick covers the ground and down trees and more trees grow out of them. It's a tree lovers paradise as long as there isn't any wind. You walk on what was once the road which follows the river so it's sound is ever present and small waterfalls can be heard inland as well. It's damp, it was cold, the smell was amazing and my face still hurts from smiling. More (and better) shots to come.
blow it up large and take a look around. :-)
Hello Everyone and Happy Monday!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I did promise an Interview I did with my friend Mary with my next photo,however she is not done editing, so it will have to be in the next photo. :)
I had a client request a few weeks ago to do an erotic style photograph in the Helmut Newton style. I was happy to oblige and taking the idea he gave to me of a Mistress of the house and her loyal dog companion always at her side, obedient and loving, I did a variation of the photo Mr. Newton did years ago. If you do not know of his work, here is a link to his foundation and I am sure you can find his work on the internets. :) helmut-newton-foundation.org/en/exhibitions-in-the-founda...
Thank you for allowing me to share my photo with you and have a lovely evening.
xoxo,
Hildda
