Wood Warbler - Phylloscopus sibilatrix
The wood warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix) is a common and widespread leaf warbler which breeds throughout northern and temperate Europe, and just into the extreme west of Asia in the southern Ural Mountains.
This warbler is strongly migratory and the entire population winters in tropical Africa.
It is a summer visitor to the United Kingdom, seen from April until August. It has declined there in recent years. It is now very rare in Ireland, where only one or two pairs are recorded breeding in most years, usually in County Wicklow.
Various factors associated with forest structure, including slope, forest cover, proportion of broad-leaf forest, canopy height and forest edge length, all influenced the occupancy rates of this declining forest species. Conservation measures are therefore required that provide and maintain the wood warblers preferred forest structure. There is also a preference for forest in the non-breeding season, however this habitat is declining in wintering areas such as Ghana. Despite the decline in forest habitats, there has been no change in number of wood warblers as it appears that this species can use degraded habitats, such as well-wooded farms. However, further loss of trees will likely have a negative impact on this species in the future
" Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
‘Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please
Beyond the door, there's peace, I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven "

I've been taking a little bit of a break due to the sudden loss of my grandfather earlier this month. I wanted to create a photo to portray my emotions at this time. His funeral is coming up and I've just spent time thinking about what I'm doing with my real life, things I still want to accomplish, and the goals that I've made for myself. Thank you to everyone who has been understanding during my time away. I'll be returning to secondlife soon - Danielle
And heartfelt solidarity with you during this tragic time and I wish you a speedy recovery.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
My Memories #Memories #SundayFunday
The Memories i have of the person you used to be will never leave me, Son when did it go so wrong. I have never felt pain like i have when grieving the loss of someone who is still alive.
The Sirius Anomaly deals with the loss of my lil dude Loki, the German Shepherd lab mix I fathered for 13 years. The photos in the series are meant to represent the five steps of grief. However, they are about fighting through the suffering of losing something precious. I am not sure if I did the feelings justice, but they were for me to process and think more deeply on the loss. I am sorry to those that are close to me if I have been distant lately. I typically do not like to bring people into that space with me.

The death of any loved parent is an incalculable lasting blow because no-one ever loves you like that again... HATE

This is a shot of a staged scene for a movie(at least that's what a person at the country cemetery where this was located at told me) that we came across many years ago(the base image was actually taken with a disposable camera). It was off the beaten path on our way to visit relatives in Kansas,the location is just a guess,it could have been NE Kansas.On a subsequent trip,it was gone.It wasn't nearly this haunting or surreal in real life,but that's why they call it sliders sunday!
I came across this scene today. It fascinated me, but I did not know why. I still don't. It is Spring, and the lost glove points back to Winter. I guess, the scene is talking to me, about expectations and about loss. A lost Spring.
Felici, my "little Maumau", died last Wednesday - this is one of the last pictures I took of her. She was suffering from a severe kidney disease for a long time but with the help of a special medicine and a daily infusion with a physiological salt solution (my veterinarian taught me how to do that) she could lead a quite normal cat life together with her brother Fellini. But all of a sudden she stopped eating about 10 days ago and then her condition got worse and worse very quickly. On her last day she even stopped drinking water and almost couldn't walk.
My sister came up from Vienna and we both accompanied her on her last way, cuddling and caressing her until the vet told us, that her heart had stopped beating.
I've never been a "pet-person" but as my sister got her and Fellini almost 11 years ago, I somehow adopted them immediately. - So, losing her means a real loss to me, although I'm sure we did the right thing.
I'll get her ashes soon and I'll find some places in nature where I will spread it to make her part of the wilderness she never had as a home cat - that's the most comforting thought for me.

In this sweet madness,
This glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

Now isolated in a field, a once busy barn site is surrounded by the lifelessness of a springtime crop field. But unlike the field, the barn, silo and small crib have lost their original purpose and will not regain it. After retiring from our life's work one of the more damaging consequences is to mourn the loss of our purpose and not work to establish another for the rest of our days.

i've been in SL almost 19 years. I've met and lost alot of people. Friends have passed and it always hurts. But this one shattered my whole heart.
***if you think SL is a game then you've already lost. ***
Masque... i will miss you forever. You touched a part of my soul with our friendship for the last 11 years.... I love you.

Rest easy my friend
Never mind that the video is black and white, the audio is silent, and the screen flickers like a bad horror movie. Rules say "bolts or other items without the matching socket will be removed"—but what about perfectly fitting connections that refuse to work?
This SCART-to-RCA adapter is a shining example of deception—it plugs in smoothly, yet the signals inside are having an existential crisis. The video signal screams in RGB, but the TV only understands composite, leaving us with a washed-out mess. The audio sits quietly, confused and alone, wondering why it wasn’t invited to the party.
But hey, it fits, so it stays! Even if it means your movie looks like a ghost story filmed in 1925.
Endemic to Brazil.
This species is classified as Near Threatened because it is suspected to be declining moderately rapidly due to habitat loss.

Marsh Owl (Asio capensis ssp.tingitanus) in flight Morocco_North Africa_w_0363
The Morocco Marsh Owls are an isolated and dwindling population. So much so that they are now a critically endangered species in Morocco.
This fragmented population is geographically separated from other breeding Marsh Owls by the huge arid area to the south called the Sahel. The Moroccan Marsh Owls are in fact a sub-species Asio capensis ssp. tingitanus. The only other other sub-species is Asio Capensis hova, in Madagascar.
The main cause of their decline in Morocco is habitat loss due to draining of large marsh areas with the expansion of agriculture.
Our travels together never really got off the ground. Just flights of fancy.. On the Orient Express, through Moroccan markets.. Bathing in faraway volcanic springs.. Anywhere but here.
You were the first and deepest friend I made in these pixelated lands.. And even as we drifted in and out over fourteen years, I missed you the most.
I will take you in my heart to Iceland, darling.. I promise.
For Kou, who was taken from us in summer -
"There are days when you wake up happy;
Again inside the fullness of life,
Until the moment breaks
And you are thrown back
Onto the black tide of loss.
Days when you have your heart back,
You are able to function well
Until in the middle of work or encounter,
Suddenly with no warning,
You are ambushed by grief." -For Grief by John O’Donohue
Excited about a series of photos a friend and I are working on...this is a small preview/spoiler. Going to be a hell of a ride!
Meant to capture that moment we've all had when you realize you have to say goodbye.

Looking forward to seeing these in a few weeks.
Setophaga americana
Northern Parulas have an odd break in their breeding range. They breed from Florida north to the boreal forest of Canada, but skip parts of Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, and some states in the Northeast. The reason for their absence may have to do with habitat loss and increasing air pollution, which affects the growth of moss on trees that they depend on for nesting.
Not long to go until we celebrate 🍁 Polaroid Week. We’re looking forward to seeing all your instant film images. So whether you shoot Polaroid or Instax, Integral or Pack Film or even Large format. As long as it’s instant film we want to see it.

The theme for this week's Happy Caturday was a loving and thoughtful choice for two of us who lost beloved members of our families this past week. Because I'm still grieving Benni's loss so much I can't even look at pictures of her yet, and don't have any photos of cats who've passed away, I decided to show Rena, taken today.
Rena has joined us in mourning the huge loss of her "playmate", (it was always one-sided with Rena being the one who wanted to play). These last days Rena has practically never left whatever room I'm in and cuddles more than this little independent cat has ever chosen to do. She's comforting me SO much and I hope I am her.
Thank you everyone for the loving, thoughtful messages and for thinking of us and Tanya at the loss of her beautiful Vas'ka at this hard, hard time. We are so appreciative.
Does that sound strange? Well, let me tell you, it was indeed a strange sight to encounter. In this field, there were scores of dead grasshoppers clinging to these slender stalks. I was simply amazed. When I saw this pair, it really struck a chord. For some reason, it made me think of lost love. You know, losing a lover, the loss of a friendship, the loss of self-love. I'm sure that you catch my drift. Anyway, I found this to be very sad and yet comforting at the same time. After all, they died in each other's arms.

"This show is dedicated to my good friend Amona Savira, who left us earlier this year quite unexpectedly. Her passing was an absolute shock to me but sadly it was just one of a few losses I suffered this year. When Kate asked me to fill in this show slot that had been intended for Amona, I was happy to try and do it justice, even though other pressures didn't seem to want me to complete it. I think what I experienced this year with all the events in my life, is that regardless of how tragic and harsh things can be, you cannot let things consume you and paralyze you. Suffering, remorse, sadness are all healthy emotions but they must not take over your life. Keeping things in perspective and getting back to the business of living your life can be hard but must be a priority. It's hard and you can get lost. I know because I did get lost a bit this year. I know you all have experienced these things your self, this shoot was a bit of therapy for me. Thanks, Dr. Kate!"
