I hadn't seen or heard the hawks in a long time. This one suddenly appeared this afternoon. I wonder if the continuous rain early this year didn't cause them to abandon their nest. It will be interesting to see the nest again once the leaves fall off the trees this autumn.

The owner of this barn talked to me while I set up my camera in late November 2021. Her teenage son has requested permission to use some barn wood for a project and she told him sure. She assumed he would take some from the back where it was already falling down and was astonished to see he had dismantled part of the door on the most picturesque section of this barn! I couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry at her story... :)

Thanks so much for all the support! I really do appreciate it! 😊
One of the most famous skylines in the world:
The morning I visited was a good sunny day, though when I started shooting the thick clouds were coming from the left and covered upper buildings during the long exposures.
The top part of One World Trade Center, the iconic building in the skyline, was hidden by the clouds.
I could not recover the missing top part of the One by post-processing because this was my only cut. then so be it.
taken from inside our car in the Lighthouse Park parking lot in Point Roberts Washington, the last time we were there before the borders closed ...

Old barn beams were brought in to give the coffee house Double Shots atmosphere, I guess this beam connection was in the way so removed.
Found this one in my outtakes pile.

Thanks for your views and Favs!
I can make you rich (I can make you rich)
I can make you this, baby, I can make you that
I could take you there, but baby, you won't make it back
Growing sick of this and I don't wanna make you sad
Do I make you scared? Baby, won't you take me back?
It's hard to believe it's already been a year today, since my dear Mom's passing. She loved gardening, so I thought I'd post a pic of my back garden all in bloom, in her honour. I miss her so much. Life hasn't been the same without her.

Jal Mahal (meaning "Water Palace") is a palace located in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur city, the capital of the state of Rajasthan, India. The palace and the lake around it were renovated and enlarged in the 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber
In the past, at the location of the lake, there was a natural depression where water used to accumulate. During 1596 AD, when there was a severe famine in this region there was consequent acute shortage of water. The then ruler of Ajmer was, therefore, motivated to build a dam to store water to overcome the severe hardships caused by the famine to the people inhabiting the region. A dam was constructed, initially using earth and quartzite, across the eastern valley between Amer hills and Amagarh hills. The dam was later converted into a stone masonry structure in the 17th century. The dam, as existing now (see picture), is about 300 metres (980 ft) long and 28.5–34.5 metres (94–113 ft) in width. It is provided with three sluice gates for release of water for irrigation of agricultural land in the down stream area. Since then, the dam, the lake and the palace in its midst have undergone several rounds of restoration under various rulers of Rajasthan but the final restoration in the 18th century is credited to Jai Singh II of Amer. During this period, a number of other historical and religious places, such as the Amer Fort, Jaigarh Fort, Nahargarh Fort, Khilangarh Fort, Kanak Vrindavan Valley were also built in the vicinity of the lake. All these places are now linked under a tourist corridor of road net work.
I should probably explain why I haven’t been around for a while.
A few months ago I put down my camera and put on my running shoes to begin training for a 48 hour fixed time race to bring in the new year. It didn’t end well.
Going forward, I want to put down my Nikes and pick up my Nikon. As soon as my broken finger heals, I want to go out and take some pictures.
In the meantime, here is a repost from a few years ago, when the Trump administration proposed the removal of this place from the protection of the Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument. Nowadays, things are looking better for the future of my hoodoo friends.
The photo has been lightly edited, and the text, below, somewhat more.

Memento Mori (The Queen)
Daughter of ancient sea and flowing lava
conceived and buried
after a million centuries rising
her crown choosing her
as the land falls away
She has lived through it all
seen fantastic things come
and go in a stream
of deep time ending
with the arrival of man her assassin
She has not much longer to exist …
what wind earth and water would do
slowly
man will accomplish in an instant
And so I come to her court
cloud moon and stars
this beautiful woman who has
endured,
like me soon to be no more
to sleep at her feet
and dream
