I'm obsessed with their beauty and I love how they flutter around my garden daily... soon this will be over...
Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
And love, oh love
I'll be a fool for you I'm sure
You know I don't mind
You know I don't mind
'Cause you
You mean the world to me
I know, I know
I've found, I've found in you
My endless love
to men he knows to be idiots ;-(

Do you know
how often
I
speak to you
when you are not
here?
How often
I
mouth words and phrases
to the space
you
should be
filling?

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 😢

what these strange bugs are??? They're all over my hosta stems and on this vine... they started out like a small white jumping bug... and today they look like this!!!
Did you know that Parakeets, Owls, Myna's etc.. all share the same kind of home? They nest / roost in holes / hollow of tree trunks that are often created by other birds like Woodpeckers. On this day, we found several coconut trees with such holes in them. And a large flock of Rose Ringed Parakeets was active with some of them in these holes - while others were on the branches nearby.
The spotted owlet had occupied one of those hollows in the tree and the Parakeets clearly didn't like that. So they were continuously making calls and one of them even landed on the hollow to scare the owlet away. The owlet came out and landed on this perch very close - this was around 3 PM. It was sleepy, yawning and had droopy eyes. We felt sorry for it, but didn't disturb the fight and watched from a distance.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

I can't count the times
I almost said what's on my mind
But I didn't
And just the other day
I wrote down all the things I'd say
But I couldn't
I just couldn't
Baby, I know that you've been wonderin'
Mm, so here goes nothin'
In case you didn't know
Baby, I'm crazy 'bout you
And I would be lyin' if I said
That I could live this life without you
Even though
I don't tell you all the time
You had my heart a long, long time ago
In case you didn't know
The way you look tonight
That second glass of wine
That did it
Mm
There was somethin' 'bout that kiss
Girl, it did me in
Got me thinkin'
I'm thinkin'
One of the things that I've been feelin'
it's time you hear 'em
In case you didn't know
Baby, I'm crazy 'bout you
And I would be lyin' if I said
That I could live this life without you
Even though
I don't tell you all the time
You had my heart a long, long time ago
In case you didn't know
You got all of me
I belong to you
Yeah, you're my everything
No one knows.

Endeans Mill is deep in the central North Island and close to Pureora Forest Park. A wonderful historical site filled with aging relics of the timber industry.
I really don't know if this cute little building is vintage and has been relocated to this site, or if it a reproduction made to look Victorian, period authentic to the area.
It sits perched upon the New Westminster boardwalk in Westminster Pier Park, that walks you along the scenic Fraser River.
The New Westminster Quay location makes for a beautiful view point and fabulous place to watch tugboats work their way up and down the Fraser River. ( as seen in my last couple of images)
I purposely included a couple of pedestrians to give you a sneak preview of the boardwalk next to follow.
New Westminster is the oldest city in western Canada.
New Westminster is a historically important city in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia, Canada, and is a member municipality of the Greater Vancouver Regional District. It was founded by Major-General Richard Moody as the capital of the new-born Colony of British Columbia in 1858, and continued in that role until the Mainland and Island Colonies were merged in 1866, and was the Mainland's largest city from that year until it was passed in population by Vancouver during the first decade of the 20th Century.
It is located on the right bank of the Fraser River as it turns southwest towards its estuary, on the southwest side of the Burrard Peninsula and roughly at the centre of the Greater Vancouver region. ( Wikipedia )
Your views are greatly appreciated. Thanks for visiting.

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!
Best to enlarge to see the ducks and gulls.

I know what you all must be thinking. Nothing can be quite that green !!!!! Well he was that green and I could hardly believe he was real . A beautiful bird to say the least and the little touch of orange in the ear area is his ear. When I first saw this I though he perhaps was hurt but that is the way this species is. A wonderful sighting on our recent trip to Ecuador and another first !!
Wishing you a beautiful and blessed evening !!!!

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?
new kid in town...please be careful

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.
Anyone who has ever heard of Game of Thrones will know of this place - The Dark Hedges, are a row of very old beech trees that line up both sides of a road called the Bregagh Road near Armoy in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland. They've always been a tourist attraction, but the HBO television series, Game of Thrones has made them globally famous.
Yesterday morning, Mum and I rose up very early and headed over to try and catch the sunrise through the trees. A lot of mist had come down and lead to this amazing scene! Dark and eerie and a little bit creepy!
Although there were a couple of other photographers in the same frame of mind as myself, I did manage to get a number of shots without any other people in them.
This is a slightly different take on the usual scene from here, but I hope you like it :)
Back to work tomorrow again, but Mum and I certainly enjoyed a few days away and the weather was very kind to us :)
Thanks for stopping by and for all the comments and faves :) I'll try and get caught up with you again soon :)
Enjoy your Wednesday evening :)
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.
'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.'

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.

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.
Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.” There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.” To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.” Those who do not weep, do not see.”

I know it is not my best, but I tried doing the photo, I just don't have much motivation hopefully I get a decent placement and will be back on track next week
Although I tried the smize and mouth thing the judges seem to like it when others do it so I gave it a try :)
I know she doesn't like spiders, but she DOES like sunflowers, and this tiny fellow was on the back of this flower. Perhaps knowledge of his diminutive stature and taste in residence will allow for appreciation of his dapper ensemble?

Few folk know of or have ever seen this old stone bridge. It was completely overgrown until this summer.
It spans the millstream at Staple Fitzpaine, Taunton Deane in Somerset.
Bridge - by Edison Chaff
Still, you span the old millstream,
comprised of fossil-filled limestone, mortar and sweat,
now rewilded with a bramble knitted bonnet,
through nature’s single minded aim
and neglect.
For horses heaving loaded carts, you were built,
from the farmland to the south to the long since vanished mill
and for local peasant folk to travel to and fro,
then up and far beyond
the hedge-lined Staple Hill.
I found you,
behind a rampant blackthorn wall:
an undiscovered bounty from a more harmonious time;
a work of craft and practicality,
resisting flora, age and weathering,
by the grace of someone else’s god
and by artisan design.

That's not the real reason why the mountain has such name, (Pink Mountain) but I can say that yesterday it has really deserved it. The Massif, as seen from more than 150km, with a 400mm, at the sunset, when the peaks are covered with snow, takes a peculiar pink color while a sea of fog was covering the whole Padanian lowland. Some birds are crossing the frame, who can see them?
You know you wait for ages to see a temperature inversion and then see three in a matter of weeks.
This was taken in the Ogwen Valley in Snowdonia. I left the car at 05.05 and got to the top of the Devil's Kitchen at 05.45 which is some going. I then spent over 90 minutes looking for my phone which I realised I had dropped while somewhere between the Glyder Fawr scree and Llyn y Cwn - I didn't find it.
Anyway, misery turned to joy when I got to witness this sight.
Getting to know my 'new' lens, the iconic Helios 40, 85mm f1.5 early M39 silver version with extension tubes. Stopped down slightly. I can barely hold the camera one-handed, so not ideal as a macro lens. The true calling of this lens is for portraiture, and I can confirm that it is magnificent at this.
I didn't know it was an actual meteorological term.
Drizzle is a light precipitation consisting of liquid water drops smaller than those of rain – generally smaller than 0.5 mm (0.02 in) in diameter. Drizzle is normally produced by low stratiform clouds and stratocumulus clouds.
Owing to the small size of drizzle drops, under many circumstances drizzle largely evaporates before reaching the surface and so may be undetected by observers on the ground. The METAR code for drizzle is DZ and for freezing drizzle is FZDZ.
Is it drizzle or mizzle?
A misty drizzle. The term is commonly used in Devon and Cornwall to describe a mixture of fine drizzle and thick, saturating mist or fog. Although mizzle might seem like a clever portmanteau combining mist and drizzle, it likely derives from the Low German miseln or Dutch word for drizzle, miezelen.
