Began the day trying to remove old photos from my bloated hard-drive. Didn’t get very far into the task before coming upon this shot from a 2009 trip to Greece. Figuring out which images to keep or delete shouldn’t be as difficult as figuring out the meaning of life… but I’m stumped 😊

The Parthenon:
The Parthenon is a temple on the Athenian Acropolis, dedicated to the goddess Athena. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of classical Greek art, and is considered an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, democracy, and Western civilization.
The Parthenon dominates the hill of the Acropolis at Athens. It was built in the mid-5th century. The temple is generally considered to be the culmination of the development of the Doric order, the simplest of the three Classical Greek architectural orders.

The folds of the lily are cool, slightly humid and quite comfortable for some "little people". This fellow was a little agitated to see my lens hovering over the entrance of his home, sneaking up closer and closer to him.
Thanks to everyone who viewed this picture, gave an invite or added it as a fav. As a result of this response I'd like to give some more info on where you can find these frogs if you live here in Florida or if you're visiting and would like to find one.

These lilies are decorative but the frogs love them! Landscape hedges are also a great place to find them. Often an Irrigation system is what attracts them.
Knowing that Columbine flowers are also called Granny's Bonnets makes me smile. Suddenly I am transported to the garden in Alice in Wonderland and singing blossoms.

To pity those that know her not
Is helped by the regret
That those who know her, know her less
The nearer her they get.

A previously unpublished archive shot from September 2015. To me that is very much the expression of 'I know what you did there'. Enjoy!
Knowing that it is Easter week-end I pulled this one out of my hat (archive). The Eastern Cottontail was running towards my direction until it noticed my presence, veered left and disappeared in the cattails. Happy Easter. Rouge Beach Park, Toronto.
Knowing you are there,
present and willing to lift me up
when I'm feeling down,
lets me know I'm not alone and
fills my heart with gratitude and love.
Thank you honey for always being there for me.

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close."
- Pablo Neruda; 100 Love Sonnets

Knowing we were approaching what is known as "the fastest land mammal in North America"......we were expecting this mother Pronghorn and her fawn to dart at any moment.
But, obviously they accepted our presence as this little buck dropped and started nursing right before our eyes.....
It certainly was a precious moment and our gang sure was smiling as those shutters were clicking away....
A few unique / interesting facts about Pronghorns:
Though they’re colloquially called the “American antelope,” pronghorns aren’t related to antelope at all.
They can spot slight movements up to 5 kilometers (3 miles) away.
Pronghorn have the largest eyes of any North American ungulate in relation to body size.
The newborns can take their first wobbly steps just 30 minutes after birth. At four days old, they can outrun humans, and in one week, they are able to run faster than a horse, if needed. The baby pronghorns depend on their mothers’ milk until they attain the age of weaning at 4 or 5 months.
Thanks as always for just stoppin' by......
Have a great weekend ahead.
Knowing we are not meant to dwell in the barren cold of winter, Spring calls to us on a tempting warm breeze, “Cast off your dark days and smile, for just as I awaken the insects and creatures, so I bring you renewed life. Look to the lighter, longer days and inhale hope, breathing out joy as you feel yourself lifted.”
SS
The truth is: the natural world is changing. And we are totally dependent on that world. It provides our food, water and air. It is the most precious thing we have and we need to defend it.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜 💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️
as silent knowing it is completely detached from the thinking mind, the perceiving senses, the doing body, the happy or unhappy person. Whatever you perceive is there in the field of knowing but it is not you. ....

Last winter, not knowing what lay ahead but desperate for a break from work, I jumped in my car and heading to Algonquin for a few days of solitary winter birding and photography. This bird was one of the first I encountered after entering the Park. And as a bird I only ever get to see in Algonquin it immediately validated my impulse three hour drive: despite the numbing cold during my three day visit, seeing this bird, and several other individuals of this species, made it a perfect experience. I am saddened by the fact that our current lockdown makes a return this winter impossible. Visiting the Park, alone or with my good friends Paul and Jodie, has become a winter ritual. I would rather have three days in January in Algonquin with a camera than two weeks down south in a warm place.
Though it is a corvid like other more familiar Jays, it is not in the same corvid family as they are. It is instead a close relative of the Siberian Jay, leading to all sorts of theories about how it got here and separated itself. It is worth looking at images of the Siberian Jay - the family resemblance is really clear, but the Siberian Jay has really striking coloration. There are nine subspecies of the Canada Jay scattered across North America.
The Canada Jay is a scatter hoarder, meaning that it grabs food anywhere it can and stores it for later, and stores it all over its territory. This prevents it from being vulnerable to losing everything at once in the event its cache is poached. The Canada Jay like its Siberian relative coats the cached food in its saliva before depositing it, which enables it to stick inside a crevice of some kind. The bird favours jack pine and black and white spruce, all of which have bark with anti-bacterial properties - so its preferred habitat is driven in part by its scatter hoarding behaviour.
What does it eat? Absolutely anything, from dead animals to newly hatched birds and on to berries and seeds, and in the more public areas where it can be found it is known to grab the odd hot dog.
There is always that one person that does not say a thing, but you know they know everything that is going on.

Yesterday it all came together while chatting with a friend, coincidence? Maybe, maybe not!
“Sometimes I dream of saving the world. Saving everyone from the invisible hand, one that brands us with an employee badge.The one that forces us to work for them…The one that controls us every day without us knowing it. But I can’t stop it. I’m not that special. I’m just anonymous. I’m just alone.”
Elliot in Mr Robot
Maybe it begins with the little things…:)
"Knowing when and how to change course is important to success. Self-doubt is a lighthouse that will keep you from running aground. Don't become shipwrecked on the rocks of time. Be willing to rethink your decisions and change course."

Long shot of Split Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior's North Shore. The historic Minnesota and Lake Superior icon went into service in 1910 and was decommissioned in 1969. It has been an extremely popular North Shore destination since the highway was being developed in the 1920's.
The lighthouse is on Lake Superior's North Shore, not far from Two Harbors, Minnesota.

Knowing when to walk away,
is wisdom.
Being able to,
is courage.
Walking away with your head held high,
is dignity.

Knowing that it was going to be foggy, I went to this local birding spot about an hour before dawn, to see if I could spot a bird to photograph in the fog. After spotting a hooded Merganser at a distance, I got to the edge of the pond and laid down there for about 30 minutes before he started approaching me.

I'm such a fanatic and so I really wanted to make something based on it so here it is.
I wish I could have made even more items for this one gacha but sadly I wasn't able to make it so I hope you people will like it anyway!

After years of knowing I need to get up to Sax-Zim bog I finally made it! Temps were much better than anticipated, but the number of birds much lower. Holy cow. You can drive around for hours and see only 5 species.
Big target was Great Gray. And we saw one. 1/2 mile back from the road barely even Id-able through a scope. So, I will need to go back.
Despite not getting the dreamed about owl experience, it was really cool to see birds I've rarely ever seen. This is only my third ever Redpoll. Yes, I've led a sheltered, warm-weather life :)

Knowing the history of San Lino, according to Pope after Saint Peter.
San Lino was Pedro's first successor and then the second Bishop of Rome and Pope of the Catholic Church.
He was the first European pope.
He was born in Volterra and there is a wonderful church in his honor.
Look at the ceiling with frescoes.

Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.
The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.
