Knowing that in the sweltering heat water is a much more advisable thirst quencher, I put my beer reserves to another use ... and put an umbrella in it, just in case beer isn't your cup of tea.

“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
I am NOT a 'WORKAHOLIC'. I only constantly aim to see the end result!
"Just Joey" is a Hybrid Tea Rose and has a fruity fragrance ( to me it smells like ripe raspberries mmmmmm) which wafts from large ruffled salmon blooms, once opened.
This superstar rose is from England. Just Joey roses were inducted into the Hall of Fame by the World Federation of Rose Societies in 1994.
The flowers are well-formed with large, high-centred buds, supported by long, straight and upright stems.
Each blousy flower can grow to 8-12.5 cm wide. Hybrid Teas are the world's most popular type of rose by choice due to their colour and flower form.
With their long stems, it gives them the advantage, over others, as cut flowers.
Most shrubs tend to be very upright, reaching up to 1.8 metres and are recurrent-flowering (flowering constantly during the season, unlike wild dog roses that flower once).
Have a wonderful day, and thank you for your time and comments, M, (*_*)

The Crystal Mill, or the Old Mill is an 1892 wooden powerhouse located on an outcrop above the Crystal River in Crystal, Colorado, Crystal was a big town in late 18th. Then, it became a ghost town in early 19th. Since the road to there is not well maintained, this place can only be accessed via 4x4.
Knowing it would be snow at night, my friend and I decided to do backpack camping there. We packed our stuff and hit on the road around 2 pm in afternoon. After a half mile uphill hiking, we came to an intersection. I wasn't sure which direction to go so I asked a guy who drove a pickup truck. I guess that person didn't hear me clearly, he pointed us to a wrong direction. After one mile hiking uphill, we felt it was wrong because we didn't see any other hikers or vehicles. So, we came down to the intersection and tried the different direction.
On that road we met some other hikers and local tour vehicles. We knew we were on the right path so we kept going. Since we took a wrong road at the beginning and we wasted more than 1 hour and a lot of energy. By 5 pm we were still on the road without knowing how far away we were from our destination. Suddenly, I heart a sound of motor and a tour vehicle stopped beside me. The lady who drove the car told me that they heart our story about taking a wrong way and they were worry about us because it was pretty late. She said she dropped her customer in her place and came back for us. She asked us to get on her car and drove us to Crystal Mill. Since she helped us to get there sooner, we had enough time to look around the place and setup tent.
Next morning, when we got up we were very excited as we had snow and whole place just for two of us. We climbed up and down, went front and back to take Crystal Mill pictures from different angles. After 2 hours of shooting, we packed our stuff and started to walk back. About a half mile of our walk, a person drove a truck came to us. He is a resident in Crystal town and he came to check on us to make sure we were OK during the snow. After a while, another person from Marble side came to us too. He said they were worry about two of us whole night and he came to take us back. Since we want to shoot more snow pictures on the way back, we thanked his kindly offers and walked all the way back to our car.
Now, every time when I looked at my Crystal Mill pictures, I remember those people's warm smiles. Many thanks to the people from Marble and Crystal.
Knowing that Paul was safely tucked up in a tent in Scotland (!) I ventured with the youngest ( her last junior school inset day) to the beach yesterday.
It was lovely with plenty of beach to play on but surprisingly busy too.
This is Ogmore by sea.

I get a sad feeling when I'm about to leave a beautiful place. I will miss being in this
place as the person that I am right at this moment. There is a knowing that I will
never be this way again.
The shadows reach out to touch me
But so does the light
One does not exist without the other
And if I could I would always
Celebrate this in song
A Bard praises the heavens
And recognises the solidity of the earth
But when the two meet together
We can begin the dance
Join the Circle Of Knowing
Weave in and out of the eternal story
Understanding that we are part of the music
That forms the intricate beauty
Of the land that we call home

This work is the first in The Wisdom of The Bard Series, and I did not expect it to be in monochrome at all, I thought the images would demand to all be in colour for this series, but it has not turned out that way, and I just went with it. There was something about the delicacy of the trees in the shot and the way the shadows radiated out over the ground, the dips and hollows in the earth seemingly making a circular stage under the trees.
The light held you in its embrace, and oh so gradually, I could see in my vision people moving in circular motions, celebrating with reverence the end of the day under these trees.
The poem formed in my mind and I composed it in praise to the beautiful scene before me.
This work can also be found on my website, designed in a way that is as close as to the printed piece as I could get using the website editor tools. If you would like to have a look, follow this link:

Thank you everybody for your comments and faves on this image - that was a nice surprise for Christmas Eve! I have been busy all day, and only just come on here and checked at 21.45 UK time. So may I wish you all a lovely Christmas and a peaceful New Year and I will be getting back to you soon..
Lots of love, Shell x
I had planned to bring my girlfriend and her child back to SEMO for the weekend knowing that there would be a chance to shoot the Big Boy coming into town. After some logistical deliberation, I opted to forego a chase and just post up in downtown STL for a hit-it-and-quit-it scenario.
There wasn't anything fundamentally interesting on the Illinois side and I wasn't driving all the way to Springfield and knew the shot(s) of the day were going to be coming off the MacArthur Bridge and into downtown. What I didn't expect was something to be coming underneath right at the time the train came. The Lesperance local job was coming up while the special came into town. Unfortunately, they 4014 came into frame, so I fired off a shot of the head end of the local where it is so that I could stitch the shots together in post. I'll revisit this one and pay better attention to the details later on, but this looks good enough for now... I've got a World Cup final to go watch.
Not knowing when we would again have the pleasure of visiting Gothenburg, we headed out this evening in the rain on an exploratory photo-walk.
On our way to Mathuggests Scenic Point, we passed by Stora Hamnkanalen (Grand Harbour).
Gothenburg was founded in 1621 on a low-lying area on the southern bank of the Göta River . It was planned to build a number of canals according to the Dutch model, to drain but also for the city to function as a port.
Stenpiren, the Stone Pier, was built in 1844 and was Gothenburg's first big harbour by Göta Älv.
Work on the Stora Hamnkanalen, or Grand Harbour, began in the summer of 1620 when Gustav II Adolf employed two Dutch "conducteurs" (technical supervisors), canal and dike masters Jan Aertsen and Joost van Werdt to lead the harbor construction.
Stora Hamnkanalen was the Gothenburg harbour more than 200 years.
The building of it started directly after the town was founded. It was built after Dutch pattern and with Dutch management. Works started in 1620 and it was opened in 1622.
Stora Hamnkanalen directly became the vital nreve of the town
Today is the 23rd day of Valentine's month of February, and I have to share my love and appreciation for being compassionate and helpful. It is a pleasure to help others and express my gratitude to all those who have helped and continue to help me.

Compassion
Miller Williams
Have compassion for everyone you meet,
even if they don’t want it. What seems conceit,
bad manners, or cynicism is always a sign
of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen.
You do not know what wars are going on
down there where the spirit meets the bone.
Kindness
Naomi Shihab Nye
Before you know what kindness really is
you must lose things,
feel the future dissolve in a moment
like salt in a weakened broth.
What you held in your hand,
what you counted and carefully saved,
all this must go so you know
how desolate the landscape can be
between the regions of kindness.
How you ride and ride
thinking the bus will never stop,
the passengers eating maize and chicken
will stare out the window forever.
Before you learn the tender gravity of kindness
you must travel where the Indian in a white poncho
lies dead by the side of the road.
You must see how this could be you,
how he too was someone
who journeyed through the night with plans
and the simple breath that kept him alive.
Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,
you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.
You must wake up with sorrow.
You must speak to it till your voice
catches the thread of all sorrows
and you see the size of the cloth.
Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore,
only kindness that ties your shoes
and sends you out into the day to gaze at bread,
only kindness that raises its head
from the crowd of the world to say
It is I you have been looking for,
and then goes with you everywhere
like a shadow or a friend.
Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them
Dalai Lama
We are all here on earth to help others; what on earth the others are here for I don't know.
W.H. Auden
All kids need is a little help, a little hope and somebody who believes in them.
Magic Johnson
Love one another and help others to rise to the higher levels, simply by pouring out love. Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy.
Sai Baba
What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.
Saint Augustine
Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.
Jim Morrison
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
Orson Welles

Sometimes the most obvious spots are overlooked and you miss the shot. It's not until you finally see how it turns out do you realize it's not a bad place. I don't mind shooting from 25th street, but when everyone's doing it, and you've shot there countless times over, it gets boring.
This is Grieves Street, down below, taken on the edge of the retaining wall. The light was in the right place to get the nose and nearly the whole train on the straightway.
The base of this work is my very first Save the Family painting, a triptych painted about my own family, including my six children. My first son, third child, Brian, was born and only lived in this world for a little over an hour, and yet he is and always will be a member of my family. He is on the left-hand side, faintly, outside the hearts, indicating he left this world. On the right-hand side is my other son, Séan, who was in a coma for 4 days with Meningitis, thankfully, he survived. At the back are Gerry and I, and in front of us in the middle are our girls, in order: Kristina, Michelle, Karen, and Diana. If you look closely, we are all there, not in reality but in the abstract. Having been blessed with a big and close family made bigger through our grandchildren, needless to say, family is the most important subject of my work.
This is my last entry for the February Hearts in Art Contest.

Knowing there was an extra job set to run to Luthy and back on this gorgeous Sunday morning, I set my sights on Wolcott and kept my hopes extremely low.
I was expecting light power or a long hood forward locomotive, but what I was not expecting was the CF&E 3316, recently transplanted from its home road.
The 3316 brings a decent cut of cars past the former PRR depot in town.
I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it. Rosalia de Castro

Knowing they have been seen around here, but very infrequently, I snuck up on the creek this morning and surprised a pair of wood ducks. The male went one way and the female with the other. But I managed to get a few shots of the male before he hid further down the creek. What a lucky morning!
Knowing the snow wont last - at least not yet - it was important to get outside and enjoy it as much as possible. Rain is coming tomorrow.
Knowing where to look and knowing what you are looking for will not get you a glimpse of the Ghost of Cassiopeia (IC 63 for the astronomers). A "go to mount" or more precisely, a stable tripod and a motorized mount with a library of the directions to deep sky objects will get your camera or telescope trained on this eerie cluster of nebulae, 550 light years away.
That giant W hanging in the sky is the Constellation Cassiopeia, consisting of 5 bright stars. The star in the middle is named Gamma Cassiopeiae, and it is a monster--19 times more massive than our sun, 65,000 times brighter, rotating 200 times faster. Its light falls on the Ghost Nebula, several light years distant. Its UV radiation is absorbed by hydrogen gas, which gains energy and then loses it, releasing light from the red portion of the spectrum. Gamma Cassiopeia also releases blue light, which is then reflected by dust in the Ghost. So the Ghost is both an emission and a reflection nebula.

Not knowing what you're looking at in a picture can sometimes be annoying. But if you look long enough you might see two circular ramps of a parking-garage around midnight. All artificial lit. The pink area's are illuminated by cars coming down the ramp. The blue parts are "normal" lit.
So, just shapes 'n' colours....
Enjoy!

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.

Knowing that Cookie doesn't exactly pose for the camera, I crept up on her when she was dozing in a patch of shade in the garden late this afternoon. The trouble is that as soon as she sees me she gets up and runs over to me, so I only have a moment to grab a quick shot. :)
It's been horribly hot here today and the next couple of days are forecast to be even worse. Some people say that cats like heat, but I don't think Cookie enjoys it any more than I do. Mind you, it can't be easy being a big ball of fluff in the Summer. :)

We had a surprise encounter with wildflowers at Trona Pinnacles, and after parking our van, I took a little hike around the pinnacles, searching for wildflower patches. There were mainly two major flowers blooming: the yellow ones and the purple ones. The purple flowers were much easier to photograph because they clustered together. The yellow flowers were more spread out, and at sunset, with strong warm light, they were a bit harder to see. But once the sun set and the light softened, they became much more visible, and I was able to capture a few images of the stunning scene.

... knowing that we know how fossils are created, and how that process is a once in million ... and how fleeting life is, we should be putting items from our time period in sediments so that future intelligence will be able to find millions of years from now evidence of our existence after we are long gone.
Need to go bury things in the right sediments now :)
knowing what these buggers can do to a monarch caterpillar.... I get sick whenever I spot one... and this is the main reason when I spot a Monarch egg, I bring it safely inside!!
About the Tachinid fly:
The Tachinid fly (also know as Tachinidae and/or tachina flies or simply tachinids) is a large family of parasitoid flies that lay their eggs in host insects (usually caterpillars). The fly eggs hatch and feed on the host insects, eventually killing the host and emerging as a larva (maggot) that then turns into a fly. One type of Tachinid fly targets the Monarch caterpillar (see images above and below). This Tachinid fly injects its egg or eggs into the Monarch caterpillar, where the eggs hatch and grow as parasoids, eventually killing the caterpillar (or chrysalis). I've actually seen a Tachinid fly land on and inject its egg into a Monarch caterpillar. From what I've witnessed, the fly doesn't really land on and sit on the caterpillar. Instead it's more of a hit-and-run. The fly just touches the caterpillar and leaves, and the caterpillar spasms and drops to the ground, where it writhes and thrashes about, appearing to attempt to rub its back on the ground to dislodge whatever has just hurt it. I've only seen a Tachinid fly hit a caterpillar twice, and it's a blink-of-the-eye thing... usually I just see flies in the area, and then I will notice a caterpillar drop to the ground and wiggle and flop. All of the sources I've read have said the Tachinid fly targets the Monarch caterpillar, but one source said the fly can also inject its egg into a Monarch egg. I am trying to determine if this is true. As you'll also read below, I tried raising two "wild" Monarch caterpillars that were only about a 1/4" long, and they both eventually died from Tachinid maggots. I used to think Tachinid flies only targeted big caterpillars, but from my experience with the 1/4" long caterpillars eventually dying, it is clear to me that Tachinid flies can also target (inject) small Monarch caterpillars. What is unclear is if the Tachinid fly also targets the Monarch egg, as well as what can be done about the dreaded Tachinid fly.
