Know that when you leave...
By blood and by me, you walk like a thief. By blood and by me, I fall when you leave.
I don’t know your name. You don’t have a name as such. But your friends and family know you and recognize you some other way that is outside of my perception. To me, you are the seagull that flew past me on a purple Friday afternoon at 4:40 p.m. You flew so gracefully with your wings almost touching the water.
To me, all seagulls are one Seagull, and I love you! Your calls are as salty and free as the ocean. During this morning’s rainstorm, I looked out my window and saw you soaring high up in the clouds … and I thought how strong you are! No wind or rain can stop you. And how smart and resourceful you are! You live all around the world and you can live in the most remote Arctic ice desert or within a bustling city in Morocco. You are amazing!
And you are beautiful! When I walk with Blanca on the beach and you fly over our heads, I smile a friendly hello to you. You are the voice and the face of the ocean.
Once I came upon you sitting in the sand and dying. I did not intrude upon your death but stood by as a witness. I saw how you used your folded wings to keep you upright when you were getting wobbly. I saw your head lean to one side. And you took a long last look around you. You looked at the beach, at the sea and at the sky. And then you died. I shed a tear for you and knelt down to gently stroke your white head. And I discovered with surprise how very soft and warm you are.
But that wasn’t you who flew past me on a purple Friday at 4:40 p.m. As long as there are oceans, there will be seagulls. And as long as there are seagulls, I know life goes on.
Be free and strong!

Blog: Something About Autumn
I've lost more songs to floods
I can't prove this makes any sense but
I sure hope that it does
Perhaps
I was born with curiosity
The likes of those of old crows
The likes of those of old crows
And oh, how the piano knows
The piano knows something
I don't know
We all know that Tulips originate not from Holland but from the far-reaching Ottoman Empire. Much has been written about that provenance, and it's particularly relevant to the history of this Horned Tulip. It was described in Europe already in 1753 by great Carolus Linnaeus, who named it for polymath and naturalist Conrad Gesner (1516-1565). He writes that it comes from Cappadocia and was brought to Europe in 1559. Possibly, I might add, through the efforts of Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq (1522-1592), 'Austrian' diplomat to the Ottomans.
A quarter of a century before Linnaeus's description - during the bizarrely luxurious reign of Sultan Ahmed III (1673-1736) between 1703 and 1730 - Ottoman Tulip Craze frilled to a frenzy. That's testified to by a court painter Mehmet, who gives exquisite pictures of some 50 Tulips in his Osmanlı lalesi or Lale mecmuasi of 1725. Many of his flowers boast frills and filaments and quaintness not often seen in Tulips. One of these is this Tulipa acuminata.
I don't know when it was first cultivated in European gardens. But in 1876 Henry Harpur-Crewe (1828-1883), an English theological naturalist, waxes eloquent: "T. acuminata cornuta, with its strange narrow parti-coloured petals, is so quaint and curious that no one who has once grown it likes to be without it".
Here it's a staple of the Amsterdam Botanical Garden.
I know, it's still winter. But today's weather, ... well we all whiteness the changes.
And the songbirds are singing,
Like they know the score.

I know it must have tasted good because he wasn't letting go no matter who was watching him...it was pretty dark above us...but the look was there for sure....he had his eye on us...
I know this Goose for years, he, I think he is a he, he comes running, rather swimming when I call Goosie, Goosie !!! His wife is already sitting on eggs !!! She always stays back !!!
Don't know what happened here with high ISO, got to work that lens out but it looks promising:) lens cost around 20$ and gives a lot of fun, now I know why this is so popular although there are many bad copies of that lens on the market (Soviet Union didn't know what supervision is;) usually they come with M42 mount, this one is Pentax-K which is a nice find:)
I know I know... ur so sick of those crazy stuff already.. but bare with me a little bit ... I'll stop whenever u say so :)

I know news papers and news services in general need to sell - but spectacular and desperate headlines can have a profound affect on your outlook.
Personally I am dubious and cynical about anything I read in the news papers these days.
Worse still you can't even trust organisations like the "Post Office" or charities.

Swear you see the good in me
But that don't beat the hood in me
And I got my intentions and yours,
Yours are make believe
'Cause baby, I know, baby, I know
I, I'mma do you dirty
Say you love me now,
But, baby, it's too early
I, I'mma do you dirty
You think you love me now, I think you should be worried
I know this is out of season but I have been trying some different effects for fun. This car was hidden away under some trees along the side of the road. The wind was so strong that day so there was already a blur to the leaves in the original photo so I guess you could say I am trying to rescue it.
I know it's been ages since I've made any images to upload mostly because I'm not able to get a decent sized image to work with without crashing atleast a zillion times before. But all this aside, I've made these two hats for " Art In Hats" an event that I'm sure you'll be hearing more about pretty soon!

God, hear me!
They told me you didn't exist, and I trusted them like a jerk.
But last night, in the garnet hole, I saw your heaven.
Suddenly, I realized they were lying to me.
If I tried to take a good look
on the things you created,
I'd understand right away that those
they denied that the cat is cat.
It's strange that I had to
get to this hell,
so I can have time to see your face
I like you so much...
That's what I wanted you to know.
There's going to be a terrible battle coming up.
Who knows?
Maybe I'll come to your place tonight.
We weren't good friends,
And I'm asking, my God,
will you be waiting for me at the door?
Look, this is how I cry!
I'm the one who's here going to start whining!
If only I'd known you sooner...
let's go! We have to go now!
It's ridiculous:
When I met you,
I'm not afraid to die anymore.
goodbye!
A prayer found in the backpack of a soldier who died in 1944 at the Battle of Montecassino ...
Our pets seem to know that we are going away for a long time. Is it just me or do they really know. I'm glad they will be well taken cared for when I'm gone. Would have taken them all if I could. I'd have to be a millionaire to achieve that. 6 dogs and 15 cats. Seriously
Nobody knows where it is...nobody swims here except me....somewhere in Armidale....I would share it with you should you chance upon it:)
We do know there was once a great Pictish fort at Burghead, built between 2,000 and 1,500 years ago, though little of it remains today. Tradition held that the hollow visible in the corner of the ancient fort held a well.
When the planned town of Burghead was built in 1808, the well was selected as its water source. Excavations the following year revealed a solid rock chamber, with a flight of stone steps leading down.
Theories about the function of the ‘well’ include:
a shrine to Celtic water deities
a place of ritual execution
an early Christian baptristy
a Pictish cult centre, later converted to Christian use
That’s what I do.
I read books.
I drink coffee,
and I know things... ;)
(Thank you, but comments have been disabled for this image.)
I've added these 2 to my album To A Rhythm We Will Never Know as another year passes and I remain 3 1/2 years clear.
I can't even imagine how it would be to look at this amazing view each and every day! I do know the owner had to own some very good Wellies!!

Yes, it is mine...you know how you buy that piece of clothing in a foreign country because it looks so right there but on returning home you realize you will never wear it.
Well one year I was in London in January when Harrods had their crazy clearance sales, and the hat was just so fascinating. The next day the reality of packing it for the return trip hit me and I finally had to give up and wear it home.
This is where it all paid off. While I was waiting to board, the gate counter called me up and asked if I would mind being bumped to FIRST CLASS...not Business, but FIRST CLASS. Would I mind??? Well what an eye opener to see how the privileged travel. Most of my fellow first classer's were a rock band and their leggy blonde girlfriends, but it didn't interfere with my best flight ever (and I have been flying internationally since I was 7). It had to be the HAT! So every now and then I pull the hat from the back closet and dream about being bumped to first class again (which of course has never repeated)...hmm maybe I should start wearing it for all my flights.
Thank you so much for your visit!
Please take a minute to press L and view in large!

Everybody gets high sometimes, you know
What else can we do when we're feeling low?
So take a deep breath and let it go
You shouldn't be drowning on your own
And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over
Into cold, cold water for you
And although time may take us into different places
I will still be patient with you
And I hope you know
I won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight
I won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight
'Cause we all get lost sometimes, you know?
It's how we learn and how we grow
And I wanna lay with you 'til I'm old
You shouldn't be fighting on your own
And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over
Into cold, cold water for you
And although time may take us into different places
I will still be patient with you
And I hope you know
I won't let go (I won't let go, no no, no no no no)
I'll be your lifeline tonight
I won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight
Come on, come on
Save me from my rocking boat
I just wanna stay afloat
I'm all alone
And I hope someone's gonna take me home
Somewhere I can rest my soul
I need to know you won't let go
I won't let go, no no, no no no no
I'll be your lifeline tonight
You won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight
I won't let go
You know, that one empty chair that many of us have at our holiday meal table, maybe there are two or even three empty chairs? That empty chair in the living room next to the Christmas tree. Or that empty chair out on the front porch, the one that used to be filled with that person, you know, that person you spent most of your life with or at least a good portion of it.
Well, that chair might appear empty. But it's really not. It's very full. It's brimming with all the memories of the person who occupied that chair for so long. The sound of their laughter, the look of their smile, the look in their eyes when they opened a gift from you or another loved one. Or the glint in their eye as you opened a gift from them.
That empty chair held the one who occupied a very special place in your heart and you are now just left with the memories. You know that chair, right?
If you don't, then consider yourself lucky but as many of us do know that chair, we can take comfort in the wonderful memories we have of those people who are no longer here on earth with us but are embedded deep in our hearts forever. That's what gets us through the hard times.
I'm heading to Alaska where I am so fortunate to have many loved ones and I count those blessings every day and do not take them for granted.
I hope you all have a Wonderful Christmas. And all of you who do have that empty chair, or two or three, blessings to you and remember fondly the good in times past and feel lucky that you had those times.
What was meant to be just a test shot to see how my new camera would handle high ISO situations turned out to be the last shot I'd get of the intact Crunden Martin Buildings in Downtown St. Louis.
Just about 4 weeks later, early on the morning of November 28th, 2025 a massive 5 alarm fire broke out at the complex causing catastrophic and irreversible damage to many of the buildings that were still standing of this historic complex of warehouses that stands less than 1,000ft from the grounds of the Gateway Arch. It took around 200 firefighters from the City of St. Louis and surrounding suburbs to control the blaze but by daybreak the extent of the blaze was apparent. Many of the walls of the early 1900s built brick buildings lay in ruin. Bricks from the walls were scattered in smoldering piles of rumble on the streets below and fire fighters reminded on site for days putting out the remaining hotspots. What once stood as a reminder of St. Louis' industrial might at the start of the 20th century lay in ruins.
You don't know what you've got till its gone.

Regular visitors to my photostream will know I'm a fan of photographing spiral stairs so I was quite excited to shoot this one in the Citizen M Bankside hotel back in August.
I thought I might have to book a night there to get some shots of it but I happened to be walking past and thought to myself 'if you don't ask, you don't get.....'. Luckily the helpful member of staff I spoke to in the lobby agreed with me.
From their website : 'citizenM is a new breed of hotel now in Amsterdam, Glasgow and London, and coming soon to New York, Paris, and a city near you. citizenM welcomes the mobile citizens of the world - the suits, weekenders, explorers, affair-havers and fashion-grabbers. To put it another way: anyone who travels frequently and loves affordable luxury. Chances are, that means you.'

I know, I said no more from this shoot but it's pouring outside and I have to wait in for a delivery, so ...
Don't look too closely as the image is not particularly sharp due to the strong wind which was blowing my camera about on the tripod, I could have opted for a faster shutter speed of course but I wanted to retain some movement in the water so went as slow as I dared.
No longer gnashing my teeth at the permanent fixture Cornwall County Council van as the new Generative Fill feature in Photoshop has wiped it very nicely from the image!
Lay your head upon my shoulder
I'll be there to catch your tears
Want to take that hurt away but I can't make it disappear
Disappear
He knows you are there, hm
He heard every word you said
Let me put my arms around you
Time has never felt so slow
Sometimes pain will hold you down but you will never be alone
Be alone
He knows you are there, hm
I know you are scared
But he'd want you to stay
Who you are, never fadе away
Ahh-ah-ah ah-ah
Ahh-ah-ah ah-ah
Ahh-ah-ah ah-ah
Ahh-ah-ah ah-ah
Ahh-ah-ah ah-ah
Ahh-ah-ah ah-ah
You know, you work, and you work, and you work on your dog's diction. You train daily with lots of positive reinforcement and he comes out with, "Wanna do somefin?". Where did we go wrong?
I know. I'm being weird. Let's blame it on the Autumnal Equinox. Glad it's Friday :-)
I know little about the history of marbles. And I know little about who played / collected these marbles within the family. I can guess that granddaddy, who is 98 now, played with the sky blue marble in this collection. It looks to be a hand carved marble. I see the initial V in a couple of these marbles. That is our last name's initial!
After doing a bit of research, I believe this is sea glass. which is originally made by man but refined by nature to become smooth frosty beach gems! Sea glass marbles are said to come from four main sources: ship ballast, Codd bottles, playing marbles, and railroad marbles.
Sea glass is tossed on shore and tumbled till smooth by waves. It can take 7-20 years with this constant tumbling action to "become" sea glass. A quality piece of sea glass has no shiny spots, is well frosted and has smooth tactile edges
I know that less is more but sometimes more is more. This could be a simple white flower on a dark background but add a bubble and there is suddenly so much more to explore. I will say that there is no clear area on which to rest your eyes and it feels a bit chaotic but it is definitely more interesting than what I thought I was going to get.
If you are also now playing with bubbles I'd love to see what you are working on.
“When going to hide, know how to get there… and how to get back… and eat first” – taken from “Into the Woods” by Stephen Sondheim.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 8th of June is “funny words”. As I am allowed to add the words to an image post-production, that is what I have opted for, choosing wise words for a certain, tenacious little bear in my bear family who enjoys playing hide-and-seek and nearly always has a grumbly tummy, taken from my favourite Stephen Sondheim musical, “Into the Woods”. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile... or even laugh!
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
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.
