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.
You'll never know how much I miss you, you won't see it in my face
You'll never know I'll never find another that could take your place
'Cause I'll be smiling when I see you, though my tears won't ever show
Yeah, I might always love you but you'll never know
Oops, I know I said only one for me today but we have just arrived back from weekly grocery shopping and it must have recharged my brain resulting in me remembering I had this lined up for Door Day Thursday. Count the ways or things, grills, bollards, bins, paste-ups, a door that needs TLC, a boarded up small door or window, big window, some ropey things and.... if you look closely, there is even a ghost sign.

I know I hurt your nose and I m sorry but I couldn't let you pull my hair ... - that's what she said once he by mistake broke her glasses.
The best fights are those where laughters are the main topic.
This was a day to remember oppa, and we have so many in the past and others left to the future.

...""" Anthony Lazaro - When You Need a Friend """...
I wish I was there
Holding your hand
In the deep of the night
When you need a friend
Cause I know these last winters
Have been hard on your soul
It began from your cheeks
Then your smile slowly froze
And I know that you feel
You can't do this no more
When your life skips a beat
It's the heart that keeps score
But soon you'll wake up
And you're gonna be fine
Stumbling by chance
By our old secret spot
Where we used to play Dylan
Every day/night until dark
Now I know you were right
When you said with a smile
“This summer will be
The best of our life”
And I know that you feel
This ain't true anymore
Your life has mistreated you
And your soul has kept score
These are long gloomy days
And some cold-hearted nights
But with a help from a friend
You will take back your life
Remember that summer
I got drunk, almost drowning
You jumped in the water
Caught me breathless and laughing
And I'll never forget
That helping hand
So here I am now
When you need a friend
You just never know when you're going to get a chance to get a special capture. I had very little expectations today - and then the house thermostat broke. So I stopped late in the afternoon to do a Lowe's curbside pick-up and as I drive through the JC Penny parking lot I see a dozen birds feeding in a tree - hmph - I figure they must be Robins. I decide to take a closer look - mother-of-pearl, one of my favorite birds - Cedar Waxwings. Oh yeah, this day just got immensely better. .

...And I know what you did last weekend.
A week ago, just as the sun peeked over the horizon and I was paddling beneath a hollowed-out cypress trunk on Mud Lake, Mr. Plieated Woodpecker popped out of a hole, stared at me as I stared at him, then quickly flew away for parts unknown. So this morning I approached the cypress with camera already in hand and just as the sun cleared the horizon, Mr. Pileated rolled out of bed again, gave me one brief look and again quickly headed off to work. Sure hope this is his homestead and not just an airbnb.
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 :)

Do you know, I got home from RL work today, and my amazing other half has done ALL the food shopping and prep for Christmas.
How fuckin lucky am I?!
So tonight I’ll be chilling like a villain (after I lux the living room bc wrapping presents is messy shit with fur babies!)
Anyyyywayyyyyy let’s break down some epoch goodness shall we?
Bowie gets to chill tonight too, in her cute lil outfit from epoch, the set is Pria, made up of a Jacket, Tank, Leggings and Socks.
Rigged for Reborn, Legacy and Lara X.
So many color/Christmas pattern options for all pieces, so head over to the epoch mainstore and get yours!
I know these guys are everywhere in Caliornia making holes and lots of noise, but they are so cute. This guy had his foot up in a position that reminded me of the very recognizable logo on the Captain Morgan bottle.
Clown-faced western woodpecker with a complicated social structure, living in small colonies. Best known for its habit of hoarding acorns: the birds drill small holes in a dead snag, then harvest acorns in fall and store them in these holes, to be eaten during winter. Such a "granary tree" may be used for generations and may be riddled with up to 50,000 holes. Nesting is a group activity, with several adults (up to 12 or more) taking part in incubating the eggs and feeding the young in a single nest.

And did you know
That every flake of snow
That forms so high
In the grey winter sky
And falls so far
Is a bright six-pointed star?
Each crystal grows
A flower as perfect as a rose.
Lace could never make
The patterns of a flake.
No brooch
Of figured silver could approach
Its delicate craftsmanship. And think:
Each pattern is distinct.
Of all the snowflakes floating there –
The million million in the air –
None is the same. Each star
Is newly forged, as faces are,
Shaped to its own design
Like yours and mine.
And yet… each one
Melts when its flight is done;
Holds frozen loveliness
A moment, even less;
Suspends itself in time –
And passes like a rhyme.
Snowflakes

Yeah I know I’m suppose to be at home, but I can not be inside the entire time. Lucky the streets are pretty empty so keeping 6 feet away from everyone is pretty easy. Hope everyone is well and keeping safe. Hugs <3
Nobody knows where it is...nobody swims here except me....somewhere in Armidale....I would share it with you should you chance upon it:)
I know I am not the only one who struggled this week. No dice. A bit like shake two sixes to start. I found some 6mm aluminium bar in the garage, hack sawed down a small piece then went at it with the file. I used a punch to make marks on each surface, but the small size made it very difficult. I was almost there, when it dropped. At least I know I had given it the right rolling properties... I never did find it again on the garage floor. Next stop the camera spares box. Aha flash cube. I spent a while trying to make black dots using a leather punch on thick duct tape. I decided the six would be the base of the cube as it was quite difficult to get it to land that way up. It seemed appropriate to use a little Kodak Instamatic as the backdrop. Lit with studio flash, I got through rather a lot of frames before I had the 'dice' passing the lens at the right moment. First curtain sync is all I can do without introducing a Speedlite to trigger the other flash heads. 2nd curtain sync was to be my next step, but I sort of like the effect here anyway.
I hope this won't be excluded on the grounds it's not really a dice, but actually it does sort of work as one. I thought of filing the base off altogether, but I do plan on using this one with the little Instamatic. Scene is approx. 2.5 inches after crop. The Instamatic 300 genuinely was a pocket camera. Just can't find much 110 film at the moment.
I know I've posted many images of these swans lately, but they are such a thrill for me to see and photograph. Now that I know that they are actually Trumpeter and not Tundra swans I'm even more excited. Thanks again Gerry for the proper ID.
I know I promised a few photos from London this week but they are going to have to wait (Yay! I hear you cry!)
Yesterday evening myself and Darren Blight Photography headed up to Dartmoor hoping to get a nice sunset at Holwell Rocks. We arrived a little early, so we parked the car at Saddle Tor car park and took a walk down to Emsworthy Barn to see the field of Bluebells that grows there every year. They've flowered a bit late up there and I don't think they were at their best but it was still a lovely sight to see.
I've never been to this spot on the moor but seen it photographed a lot of times, it's such a pretty area and despite the midges it was a great hour with the camera.
I spent a lot of time looking for a composition that was slightly different to the norm and settled on this view. I hope you like it.
Tonight what I had planned in my head for my shot did not go to plan due to thick fog in the location I wanted to be. I wasn't sure if i was going to get a shot today!
So I took a drive out to a spot I've been to before and stood on a bridge (in freezing temperatures.. as you do) to capture some light trails. I know it's a mediocre shot, but I do like the lorry pulling into the lay-by.
It's also raining stars again 😉
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!
I know I said I'm on a flower kick but here's more grass. I can't get away from it! :)
Update - I really liked this when I uploaded it and now there is just something about it that's bugging me a little. It's either the yellow-green or the comp, not sure. Hmmm... I can't make up my mind on this one. I guess I'm unsure because the editing is different than my usual grass shots...especially the color. Maybe I just need to get used to it.
I do not know my birds very well I just know that this is a warbler Found this guy in Long Point Ontario. Along the shore of lake Erie
Yes I know I’m spoiled, living in West Cornwall. There’s no arguing with that, nor denying the abundance of natural beauty on the doorstep. Every so often I have a dig around on the laptop, generally when I’m looking for something else, find a shot I took at some point, stumbled across and worked on a couple of years later, and then promptly forgot all about for another eighteen months. I don’t remember taking this one at all. So the exif tells me, it was in September 2022, exactly a week after returning from Iceland, with the lens that didn’t make it onto the plane. I was obviously feeling sorry for the 70-200 and had used it that day out of a sense of guilt - having empathy for inanimate objects really is a step too far from reality at times. I spent a couple of months wandering around in a stupor after that Iceland trip, going to the usual haunts with the camera without much thought for what I was doing. Everything in Iceland was so overwhelmingly magnificent that it’s almost as if the first few outings after my return to Cornwall didn’t even happen. Going through the motions, barely noticing where I was or what I was taking pictures of, and dreaming of Dyrholaey and Vestrahorn while pointing my camera at places I knew so well that the pictures just took themselves with little involvement from me. Those two weeks in Iceland were the trip of a lifetime, and all else paled into insignificance around that time. I still have so many plans for Iceland, but that’s another story for another time. Let’s return to Godrevy.
Jumping forward to today, I've barely been to Godrevy at all in recent months. Hardly set foot outside the house until quite recently in fact. Usually the winter season here is a great time for landscape photography. You can shoot throughout the day and the golden hour glow is often spectacular, but this time around, especially since the turn of the year, to say it's been slim pickings would be an understatement. Barely a day passed without rain in some form or another, and the sky seemed to be almost permanently hidden by an unmoving blanket of grey cloud that hung heavily over the county like a damp duvet. At the end of January the weather forecaster told us it was the wettest month on record in Cornwall. As February gave way to March, the announcement came that it was the rainiest winter ever down here. The garden was bogged down in thick mud, while our spirits clung to the wet grass for fear of sinking down below its surface.
Sometimes I'd try to embrace the conditions and don my waterproofs, but by the middle of March it was all getting to be too much. During those two months I went out with the camera just five times at home, three of them within the first eight days of the new year. Sometimes I managed to dodge the rain, but only just. As for Godrevy, during the winter months it’s not unusual for me to come here every week. Just twice since January this year though. Things have finally begun to improve at last as Easter waits in the wings, but we still have the odd horror show when it pours down from morning to evening without a pause. It doesn’t help that the van has been out of action all winter either. It’s always been particularly satisfying to pull up in the car park and put the kettle on. Hopefully next winter normal service might be resumed.
I had a few images in mind for this latest post, none of which were this one. Until I noticed it in a downloads folder on my laptop. And when I look back through recent stories, the last homegrown one was posted in the middle of January with an image taken a month earlier. So I think it’s about time I remembered my roots and shared something from here in Cornwall. Even if it’s an image I don’t remember taking because I was still dining out on an adventure I wouldn’t forget if I lived to be two hundred and fifty. In fact, the handful of outings in recent months have produced a small number of images worth sharing, so I’ll be sure to do so eventually. But not yet because the next big jaunt is just around the corner.
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
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
Everyone knows to properly take care of your unicorn you must feed it snacks between every 2hour period.
Lack of snacks will render the unicorn immobile and unwilling to provide magical rainbow farts which will cause a lack of rainbow methane in the atmosphere. Crops will die and people will starve.
Be sure to feed your unicorn, murderer!
This waterfall is upstream form Haifoss. I know many people take pics to get both falls in, but I chose to highlight each on independently because they were both so spectacular. Besides, including both falls in a single image would negate the canyon walls you see here behind Granni.
I know that just like when taking a photo of a train the going away shot hardly ever receives positive acclaim. Photo taken last week on a visit to the nature reserve at Vendicari. The subject a shellduck is seen feeding in typical fashion. These birds feed on the flowing tidal water, but not much around high or low tides, mostly sieving the mud for the tiny snail Hydrobia which forms the overwhelming majority of their diet. They also eat shrimps, small clams Macoma and ragworms; I don't known what the inland breeders feed on.
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.
“There is nothing else than now. There is neither yesterday, certainly, nor is there any tomorrow. How old must you be before you know that?
There is only now, and if now is only two days, then two days is your life and everything in it will be in proportion. This is how you live a life in two days."

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!

Happy Is Who Knows How To Love - Herman Hesse//
Happiness is love, nothing else. A man who is capable of love is happy." After many years of introspection and self-reflection, Hesse came to this beautiful conclusion. There"s nothing like love to help you experience happiness.
p.s. 3. "At her first kiss I felt something melt inside me that hurt in an exquisite way. All my longings, all my dreams and sweet anguish, all the secrets that slept within me, came awake, everything was transformed and enchanted, everything made sense." - Herman Hesse
Dance Me To The End Of Love - Leonard Cohen
I know I posted some frost patterns not that long ago but when nature provides me with an opportunity go get a POTD in the bag so early in the day I just can't resist.
Kevin said he thought this looked like a wing so another treasure hunt theme done!

If I didn't know better.. I'd hang my hat right there..
If I didn't know better.. I'd follow you up the stairs..
Stop saying those sweet things you know I like to hear!
The horns are blowing louder.. the bailiff's drawing near.
Why do I keep drinking
Wasting my time on you?
If I didn't know better..
But, damn it, I do.
...if you know the photographs of Martin Parr, you may know his series shot around the chapels of the Calder valley. This one at Crimsworth featured heavily in that series. It always makes a great subject with its 'gritty' pennine stonework. Now a private house. Here's a sample from that book......

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.
Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Today is Good Friday. It marks the day our Lord was crucified.
I suppose it's Good Friday because if he hadn't sacrificed his body then the world would have been lost. But the good news is, that on Sunday, we commemorate the day of his resurrection.
God bless you and Happy Easter.
I'd like to thank two very special people who helped me with this shot and on very short notice, my good friends Levi Garrets and Uri Jefferson. You guys are so awesome! Thank you!♥
I don't know what caused the odd focus - perhaps a bit of film buckling. It's fitting. I will often stop by this spot as a way to end a day of shooting. I can spend the last few frames and the last few minutes of daylight before driving home in the dark.

Well, you know someone has to keep an eye on things while humanoid has a wee snooze 😴
On rainy days like today, we hang out in the garage doorway. Mana 🐈 of course has to come and inspect. Like chook, he enjoys a roll in the dirt, but not today, chook was there first 😆 It's lovely to see they're so familiar with each other these days. I wouldn't say they're mates, but they're very tolerant of each other.
We could all learn a lesson from these two. Happy Sunday. Sending peaceful ☮️ happy 😊 vibes xxx
Week 21 in 52 Weeks for Dogs. Tasku's pretty nose taking centre stage this week. I did have one that was just her nose but preferred this shot.
