♫ One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one, its the loneliest number since the number one
No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes is the saddest experience you'll ever know...
What was meant to be a short break from social media quickly heralded the looks of yet another hiatus. In reality, my First Life (FL) was doing what my FL seems to do best: Entangling me in unforeseen circumstances. We've all been there before though, no?

I'm back! It will probably take me a minute to acclimate to Flickr and blogging again, but I hope that you have all been safe and wonderful. Let's catch up soon! ♥
Kuznetsky Most is one of the most beautiful pedestrian streets in the historical center of Moscow.
The street got its modern - and at the same time historical - name thanks to the Kuznetsky Bridge across the Neglinnaya River. Today, Kuznetsky Most Street attracts citizens with its high-quality landscaping, an abundance of architectural monuments and an unusual relief: due to the significant difference in heights between Petrovka and Rozhdestvenka, the city landscape looks especially picturesque.
Kuznetskaya Sloboda on the high bank of the Neglinnaya River - Neglinnaya Upper - appeared in the 12th century, but its heyday came only at the end of the 15th, when the Cannon Yard was built in the vicinity, and the Moscow prince Ivan III ordered to settle in it blacksmiths and grooms who served new production. At the turn of the 15th-16th centuries, Novgorod and Pskov were annexed to the Moscow principality, and craftsmen of various professions from these cities were moved to the Neglinny Upper.
In 1737, the street burned out during the Trinity fire, but rather quickly new buildings were built on it, in which foreign shops began to be located. Gradually, the street turned into the abode of foreign trade: the French showed particular zeal, opening fashion and haberdashery shops here, thanks to which Kuznetsky Most became the main shopping street in Moscow. During World War II and the fire of 1812, it practically did not suffer from the fire, since the French guard took over the protection of the business of compatriots. After the war, trade flourished again, and many fashionable shops were opened on it (almost all of them were foreign, most of them were French). The abundance of foreign shops made Kuznetsky Most the most fashionable and aristocratic street in Moscow, which it remained until the 1917 Revolution.
During the Soviet era, the street lost part of the historical buildings, many buildings were rebuilt, and the street gradually took on a modern look.
After the reconstruction carried out in 2012, the Kuznetsky Most section from Bolshaya Dmitrovka to Rozhdestvenka became pedestrian.
Today Kuznetsky Most Street is a well-maintained pedestrian zone, where city holidays and festivals are often held.
Despite the losses of the Soviet years, a large number of architectural monuments have been preserved on it: tenement houses, partially preserved city estates and passages. Among them are famous Moscow sights: the building of the Moscow International Trade Bank, Khomyakov's trading house and others.

I arrived later than intended in Brighton, Sussex, UK. The light was going and it was rather grey and rain was in the air. Missed the opportunity for the seagulls and lacked a little inspiration on the pier.....Then the sky opened fleetingly and I secured 2 or 3 shots. This is my favourite due to the cloud forming the number 5 to the right of the shot.....I have hesitated in putting this up because the people I have asked for a critique on this shot haven’t noticed the number.....Leaving the title looking a little challenging 😁.....The funny thing is that is all I can see now!
Anyway! Thanks for visiting.
You have a good weekend.....
Number Please this old telephone is in a Railroad and Telegraph Museum in North Carolina the local train station is not in use so it became a small museum, interesting place ran by a bunch of fellows who don't dust!
One of my all time favourite reggae tracks, and a great finale to the Toots and the Maytals gig last night, 54-46 was my number , classic. This shot of the shore platforms at Nash Point is vaguely numerical in it's geological formations so that's close enough!
It's also my birthday today, so we're off to see The Jesus and Mary Chain tonight, I doubt they'll be as good as Toots though, he was amazing!!!
Red Wattlebird (Anthochaera carunculata) juvenile
The first of the Wattlebird chicks to leave the nest. We have three nests in different trees.
This one was hopping from branch to branch while Mum was bringing food for it and at least one more in the nest. It finally stopped on a branch that gave me an almost clear shot.

The very first shot I took a few months ago with my then brand new 800mm lens when I went outside and just took everything in sight! Not too sure about the ID on the flower - happy for any suggestions. I'm guessing a type of iris.
Happy Gorgeous Green (background) Thursday!
Thanks to Boris for correctly identifying this as a Fortnight Lily - AKA Wild Iris!

The buoys for navigation have such a varied appearance. Sometimes they appear as bizarre as in this case.
Die Bojen für die Schifffahrt haben solch unterschiedliches Aussehen. Manchmal erscheinen sie so bizarr wie in diesem Fall.

“ There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days …
There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass …
There are names across the sea, only now I do believe … “

PASSING AFTERNOON by IRON and WINE
ENDLESS NUMBERED DAYS
Sea foam, sea glass
seashells, treasures
collecting driftwood
at our leisure
pebbles, stones
Mother of Pearl
amber nuggets
memories whirl
moonlight, sunshine
bare-foot walks
paddle, swim and
endless talk
smiles and laughter
escapades
secrets kept and
a promise made
waves and cries
of seabirds high
fishing boats
left high and dry
row of huts
and two, nine, seven
find the key
to seventh heaven …
