Foxes in the climate where I live, look very thin and lean in their summer coats. We have very extreme cold winters and hot summers. This same fox looks twice this size with his full winter coat.
This wind-bitten tree, a semi dwarf, an exile,
leans its trunk
against the fence's barbs, its scars etched
from weathering.
Nearby fields lie barren.
What secret impulse rose into this wayward
flowering? Limbs droop, arthritic,
each
lacquered, blood-red fruit a gemstone
in waning light.
Half the tree seems blighted. Where
the trunk splits
leeward and overhangs the milkweeds, leaves
curl and brown, berries puckered to black kisses.
This final act is playing out far afield,
unnoticed
by whoever owns
the land. The tree, untended, needs amputation.
Or would such severing
quicken
its demise? A sparrow flutters off, in no mood
for rumination. Who knows
if under peeling bark some force still slumbers?
And so this tree
buries deep its life lines
and holds up its bitter end, its cancering
for all to see:
sky, endless blue, fading day, clouds in flight.
And so we.
--Miguel deO

Schooner America 2.0 - Key West Harbor
Key West, Florida - Florida Keys - 3/23/22
SUNSET - Sunset Sail the Harbor - Spring '22
*[left-click for a closer-look - magnificent, majestic sails]
*[Strong Winds - Full-Sails - American Sail - America 2.0]
History: Designed and built by Scarano Boat Inc. in Albany, N.Y., the America 2.0 had big shoes to fill. Its 1995 predecessor, the 139-foot America (now berthed in Santa Barbara) won the hearts and minds of many islanders on and off the docks. That ship replicated the original America, a 101-foot sailing vessel that won an 1851 race against 15 yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron in what would become known forever as the "America's Cup" in honor of that ship. The 1851 original America ended up a blockade-runner for the Confederacy and after the Yankees seized her, became a blockade-buster for the federals. She remained government property until falling victim to a shed collapse in 1945, and with the shed was scrapped and burned. A 170 year history with two replicas built.
America 2.0 (105 feet) replaced the 1995 replica schooner America (139 feet). The '95 replica is now berthed in Santa Barbara, California
The America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore and many other tall ships are credited with helping
to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years to come

These two got into quite a battle over the peanuts this morning. When the one on the platform turned around the other leaned left and got out of the way. Then, a Robin showed up and chased the both of them away.
A tribute to the late, great Bill Withers.
1938 to 2020.

Listen and enjoy: Lean on Me - Bill Withers
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me (call me)
If you need a friend (call me) call me uh huh (call me) if you need a friend (call me)
If you ever need a friend (call me)
Call me (call me) call me (call me) call me
(Call me) call me (call me) if you need a friend
(Call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me)
Songwriters: Bill Withers
Two abandoned buildings on the prairies of Saskatchewan. Not too much sun out that day, yet the sight of the one building leaning on the other warms one's heart.
A pole leaning badly, not sure any birds would want to live here.

A quick visit to Talacre whilst visiting family this week in Manchester. It's somewhere i'd been looking at capturing for some time but not had the chance. An easy walk to the beach from the car I had about 15 mins of light before the end of the day. I took a variety of shots from different angles but settled on this composition for a long exposure. 180 sec with some nice cloud movement and smoothing out the ripples in the water leading up to the lighthouse.
I'm sorry guys, but my computer has been running really slow recently, so I will have to catch up on comments a little at a time throughout this week.

Lean, on me, Ill be there, whenever you need
someone, to share, in every prayer,
in every dream, you've left somewhere,
till tomorrow, will be just like it was when we were young,
cause to-nite I'm gonna take you where
I've never taken you before
Lean on me, I'm everywhere, wherever you look,
I'll be, forever yours, The northern lights,
The Southern cross, I'll give to you till tomorrow,
will be just like it was when we were young,
cause to-nite I'm gonna take you were I've
never taken you , before
If your alone you'll know where you can find me,
you no there's no escape when you are on your own,
and if your worried and you can see the world slip through your fingers,
I'll reach out for you in my heart,
there's no more dancing in the dark,
youre not alone , tomorrow,
will be just like it was when we were young,
cause to-nite I'm gonna take you were
I've never taken you before,
will be just like it was when we were young,
to-nite I'm gonna take you where I've never taken you before,
will be just like it was when we were young.
moody blues - lean on me
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on"...

A tree reaching out to a headstone for support. Dissenters Nonconformist Graveyard, Foster Street, Harlow, Essex.
One of the many scattered copse of trees that you walk through enroute to the top of Great Mell Fell. I rarely shoot in the middle of the day, even less often with the pocket Sony. But on this occasion I had to make an exception
