Maybe, it's the way you say my name
Maybe, it's the way you play your game
But it's so good, I've never known anybody like you
But it's so good, I've never dreamed of nobody like you
And I've heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime
And I'm pretty sure that you are that love of mine
'Cause I'm in a field of dandelions
Wishing on every one that you'll be mine, mine
And I see forever in your eyes
I feel okay when I see you smile, smile
Wishing on dandelions all of the time
Praying to God that one day you'll be mine
Wishing on dandelions all of the time, all of the time
I think that you are the one for me
'Cause it gets so hard to breathe
When you're looking at me, I've never felt so alive and free
When you're looking at me, I've never felt so happy
And I've heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime
And I'm pretty sure that you are that love of mine
'Cause I'm in a field of dandelions
Wishing on every one that you'll be mine, mine
And I see forever in your eyes
I feel okay, when I see you smile, smile
Wishing on dandelions all of the time
Praying to God that one day you'll be mine
Wishing on dandelions all of the time, all of the time
Dandelion, into the wind you go
Won't you let my darling know?
Dandelion, into the wind you go
Won't you let my darling know that?
I'm in a field of dandelions
Wishing on every one that you'll be mine, mine
And I see forever in your eyes
I feel okay when I see you smile, smile
Wishing on dandelions all of the time
Praying to God that one day you'll be mine
Wishing on dandelions all of the time, all of the time
I'm in a field of dandelions
Wishing on every one that you'll be mine, mine
Recently traveling around my rural surroundings I came upon a "yellow-dressed moment". The field was adorned with yellow and it took my breathe away. The richness of color and the light were a once in a lifetime experience. A week later it was gone and faded....Amidst my own sorrows over the dying journey of my aunt/mother this spectacle roused my awe and yielded a wonderful respite.

If ever there was a "once in a lifetime" encounter for me, it would have to be seeing these beautiful cranes while my daughter and I were out exploring. And they had a baby, too, which yes, I did get pictures of the baby also.
Never was I so excited and happy to have some nice long glass so I could be close without disturbing these beautiful creatures. Photography Gods were with me that day. I hope you enjoy this shot half as much I did getting it. It really made my day.

Zanskar is the most isolated valley in India and Phuktal is the remotest part of Zanskar. The Phuktal monastery is the epitome of monks living high up in the mountains, detached from the rest of the world. By the time we reached the Phuktal monastery the monks had gathered for lunch. This was the view at the meal times. It won't cost you a dime. Just a lifetime of being a monk!
Read the full story of our visit to Phuktal monastery at Trek to Phuktal Monastery.

This is with a doubt the rarest bird for me and most people in the US. There has only been a small handful of sightings over the years. The bird was a little far out and the atmosphere caused some issues.
They say they sometimes appear here because of a large storm in the Atlantic.

..... walking across the Golden Gate was on my "to do list". It was an unforgettable experience....
After much love and care for over 4 years, one of my air plants has finally bloomed! 😃
Well, to my surprise, I just learned that air plants only bloom once in their lifetime. 😥
Once blooming is over, baby air plants will be produced, and they will eventually mature into their own “adult” air plant. 😊
Such a beautiful circle of life! 💖
PS: I recognize it's not the best photo. The light was flat yesterday, but I am too lazy to take another one today. Indoor flower macro shots are not easy to take IMO; I applaud all the macro photographers out there! 👏👏👏
Crossing the United States by road is the experience of a lifetime. While many may deride the midwest as 'fly-over' states, some of the most beautiful scenery in this country can be found there.
This was taken along US 24 in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah.
We left Tirana for Lake Ohrid during intense thunderstorms and torential rains. Once on the backside of the mountains, the rain cleared and the sun came out. The clear fall air and the brilliant sun made for the most intense and vibrant rainbow I've seen in my lifetime. It cast a rainbow aura over the lake surface and a double rainbow started to emerge, which is visible in the upper right of this image.

Reason, Season, or Lifetime
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Landscape Photography is easy......anyone can give it a try, it's so accessible. Head out the door with your smart phone and start shooting. You don't need tripods and filters to get great shots. There's so many locations where you can grab great shots just by sticking your camera out the window of the car.
Landscape Photography is hard....and mastering it can take a lifetime. There are technical issues that must be learned like compositions rules, camera settings and exposure triangle. You need an artistic vision to tell a story. However, if you take on these challenges you will be rewarded with great images and a deep sense of satisfaction that will keep you wanting more. It doesn't hurt to be lucky either.
Whichever of the above is true, if you catch the bug, spending time in the Great Outdoors into interesting locations promotes a more active lifestyle with virtually no downside and your overall wellbeing will be increased.

Do you remember the Mendelian laws of inheritance? We've learned them in school on the basis of how the eye colours of fruit flies (the notorious Drosophila Melanogaster) are inherited to further generations according to dominant or recessive characteristics, although Gregor Mendel himself conducted his groundbreaking genetic experiments with pea plants. Unfortunately, the significance of Mendel's laws was never truly understood or acknowledged in his lifetime (1822 – 1884). His studies, however, were rediscovered three decades later, at the turn of the 20th century, and, following their rediscovery, American biologist Thomas Hunt Morgan (1866 – 1945) began to experiment with Drosophila in his "Fly Room" at Columbia University. It was Morgan who discovered that genes are carried on chromosomes; he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1933. Further Fly experiments (with a less successful outcome) were conducted by a certain Dr. Seth Brundle in 1986 (aka "The Fly"). So where exactly does my image come in here, you may have already asked yourself (if you haven't stopped reading my lengthy introduction long before – which I could totally understand). Well, during one of those numerous teaching experiments with fruit flies, which numerous generations of students have conducted ever since modern genetics became part of school curriculums, something must have gone very wrong. And who knows, maybe Dr. Seth "Brundlefly" Brundle himself had led one of those biology experiments? Experiments in which some dinosaur genes were mixed with those of an innocent fruit fly... Which resulted in the creation the biggest Drosophila the world has ever seen – the Olympic Brachosophila Megalogaster? Nonsense, of course, and you know it ;-) But doesn't this kaleidoscoped image of the Olympic stadium's interior (the roof, mostly, taken at a dutch angle) look just like an ultra close-up of a (fruit) fly's face? Not one that you'd like to see buzzing around your fruit bowl, that's for sure, but let's say that the other "third party genes" that were used in this crazy experiment came from a puppy. So this would be the friendliest, cuddliest giant dinosaur puppy fruit fly you'll ever come across :) OK, I'd rather stop before you start to believe that I was a part of those experiments as well ;-)
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, stay safe and take care, dear Flickr friends!
Drosophila Megalogaster – Schau mir in die Augen, Kleines :)
Ihr erinnert Euch doch bestimmt noch alle an die Mendelsche Vererbungslehre und die berühmte Drosophila Melanogaster mit ihren dominanten bzw. rezessiven Genen, die über die Vererbung der jeweiligen Augenfarbe entscheiden. Was wäre, wenn jemand bei einem der unzähligen Biologie-Experimente, die Generationen von Schülern mit Fruchtfliegen durchgeführt haben, nicht nur Fruchtfliegen(-Gene) gekreuzt, sondern evtl. noch ein paar Dinosaurier-Gene dazwischen gestreut hätte? Das Ergebnis könnte die größte Fruchtfliege sein, die die Welt je gesehen hat, die unglaubliche "Olympische Brachosophila Megalogaster" mit Augen so groß wie zwei Stadiondächer ;-) Nun ja, Ihr habt es schon erraten, dies ist eine kleine Spielerei mit einem Foto vom Olympiastadion für den Sliders Sunday. Ich hatte hier einfach aus Spaß mal eine Aufnahme mit schräger Perspektive gemacht und dabei überwiegend das offene Dach mit ins Bild genommen. Nachdem ich in Photoshop das Bild kopiert, gespiegelt und neu zusammengesetzt hatte, schaute mich plötzlich eine riesige (Frucht-)Fliege an ;-) Keine, die man gerne daheim um den Früchteteller herumschwirren sehen möchte, aber ich kann Euch beruhigen: Bei dem manipulierten Experiment kamen als "Drittanbieter-Gene" nicht nur die eines Dinosauriers hinzu, sondern auch die eines kuscheligen Welpen. Diese Fliege ist also gaaaanz lieb und verschmust und will bloß spielen ;-)
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche, bleibt gesund und passt auf Euch auf!
At Pashley Manor Gardens you will discover 11 acres of beautiful borders and vistas – the culmination of a lifetime of passion for gardening, an appetite for beauty and an admiration of the tradition of the English Country garden. These graceful gardens, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are family owned and maintained – visitors often express delight at the attention to detail displayed throughout and the intimate, peaceful atmosphere.
All the ingredients of the English Country Garden are present – sweeping herbaceous borders, ha-ha, well maintained lawns, box hedges, espaliered rose walk, historic walled garden, inspiring kitchen garden, venerable trees and the Grade I listed house as a backdrop. The gardens are a haven for wildlife – bees, butterflies and small birds as well as moor hens, ducks and a black swan. Then, of course, the plants! Borders overflowing with perennials and annuals – the look changing through the seasons, but always abundantly filled, and each garden ‘room’ planted in a different colour theme.
Pashley is also renowned for fantastic displays of tulips, roses and dahlias. Our annual Tulip Festival features more than 48,000 tulips this year! During Special Rose Week over a hundred varieties of rose swathe the walls, climb obelisks and bloom in flower beds. Then in late summer our Dahlia Days event transforms the gardens once more with bountiful, brightly coloured dahlias in every border and pot.
Add to all this a Café and Terrace with excellent garden views, serving delicious homemade lunches, scones and cakes; Sculpture and Art Exhibitions; a Gift Shop with Plant Sales; and a friendly, knowledgeable team waiting to welcome you, and the recipe for a wonderful day out is complete.

Regno Unito, Cornovaglia, Botallack Mine, Estate 2020
La Botallack Mine è un'ex miniera a Botallack, Cornovaglia, Regno Unito e fa parte del patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO (Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape). Botallack era una miniera con tunnel che si estendevano sotto il mare, in alcuni punti per mezzo miglio. Nel corso della sua durata di vita registrata, la miniera ha prodotto circa 14.500 tonnellate di stagno, 20.000 tonnellate di rame e 1.500 tonnellate di arsenico. Non è chiaro quanto indietro risalga l'attività mineraria in questa località. Le prime testimonianze risalgono al 1500. Alcune prove archeologiche indicano l'estrazione mineraria qui in epoca romana o addirittura dall'età del bronzo.
The Botallack Mine is a former mine in Botallack, Cornwall, UK and it is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site (Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape). Botallack was a submarine mine with tunnels extending under the sea, in places for half a mile. Over its recorded lifetime the mine produced around 14,500 tonnes of tin, 20,000 tonnes of copper, and 1,500 tonnes of arsenic. It is unclear how far back mining activity goes in this location. Early records date from the 1500s. Some archaeological evidence points to mining here in the Roman era or even as far back as the Bronze Age.
I was looking through some of my images from a few years ago and realised that I had not uploaded this particular photo to Flickr. It was, most probably, a once in a lifetime encounter with this wild chameleon as we were walking along a path in Spain.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.

listen: Gone With The Wind
Gone with the wind
Just like a leaf that has blown away
Gone with the wind
My romance has flown away
Yesterday's kisses are still on my lips
I've had a lifetime of heaven at my fingertips
But now all is gone
Gone is the rapture that filled my heart
Gone with the wind
My romance has flown apart
Just like a flame, love burned brightly
Then became an empty smoke ring
That has gone, gone with the wind
Gone, gone, gone with the wind
Just like a leaf that has blown away
Gone with the wind
My romance has flown away
Yesterday's kisses are still, still on my lips
I've had a lifetime of heaven at my fingertips
But now all is gone
Gone is the rapture that fills my heart
Gone with the wind
My romance has flown apart
Just like a flame, love burned brightly
Then became an empty smoke ring
That has gone with the wind.......

Partial - My first return to Maine, knowing....I would not be seeing my BFF. Her early departure from this lifetime still weighs heavy in my spirit.
Solar eclipses are relatively rare, but today we had the chance to experience one right here in Dallas Texas!
Swallows flying over the algae-strewn water of Bushy Park pond. They were swooping and diving at an incredible speed searching for insects. Light conditions were poor and I had to use ISO 2500 to get the speed and depth of field needed to have any chance of focus on one never mind two.
It's the first time I have photographed flying swallows.
DADDY: “Would you like some tea, Paddington?”
PADDINGTON: “Yes please, Daddy!”
DADDY: “Milk?”
PADDINGTON: “Yes please, Daddy! Just a slosh.”
DADDY: “One lump or two?”
PADDINGTON: “Two please, Daddy!”
DADDY: “Very good, Paddington darling.”
PADDINGTON: “And a sticky bun, please Daddy!”
DADDY: “Alright Paddington.”
PADDINGTON: “And some macarons, if you can manage it Daddy!”
DADDY: “Well I…”
PADDINGTON: “And a marmalade sandwich or twenty, please Daddy!”
DADDY: “Twenty, Paddington darling?”
PADDINGTON: “I have a grumbly tummy, Daddy!” *Rubs tummy vigorously.*
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 30th of November is "coffee or tea". Being British and a traditionalist, I prefer tea to coffee, and I am not the only one in my household who is partial to a cup of tea, or two, or twenty. My Paddington Bear also enjoys a cup of tea for elevenses on any given day of the week. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
Beautifully hand made by Merrythought in their historic Ironbridge factory, and based on the famous original drawings by Peggy Fortnum of Michael Bond's famous bear, the Paddington - Classic Edition is British-made (of course) and is truly timeless and designed to bring a lifetime of joy and companionship. Paddington combines the finest natural materials with four generations of the very best British teddy bear making expertise. His detailed design and expressive features give him a personality that you cannot help but fall in love with, and he will become a loyal lifelong companion - always by your side during the ups and downs of life, and a friend to make memories with! Made from woven mohair plush and soft cotton velvet, this Paddington is dressed in a pure red woollen felt hat and blue duffle coat with wooden toggle detailing. He is brought to life by a neatly hand-stitched nose and warm smile.
Made in a special numbered edition, I am fortunate enough to have number 17.
"Please look after this bear. Thank you."
The teacup I hold is one from a tea set for six complete with six trios, a milk jug sugar bowl and a cake plate. It looks remarkably contemporary in shape and style, yet it is actually from 1911. Produced by British pottery maker, Royal Doulton, this cup is made of translucent china so fine that you can see your hand’s shadow through it when held to the light. It bears a stylised Art Nouveau lily design painted by the most famous of Doulton’s freelance decorators, Robert Allen. To cope with their enormous output, Doulton used both in-house and freelance designers and painters, and in some cases these decorators also added pattern numbers to the wares. The best known is Robert Allen who added an ‘Ra’ number to wares decorated for Doulton in his design studio.
