(I believe these are Gray Toulouse geese, but I'm not certain. A positive i.d. would be great.)
I've been somewhat remiss in commenting on photos the last few days, as I've been out of town. I will be playing catch-up tonight and tomorrow. Please bear with me :)
... Are Closer Than They Appear
And I'm real happy about that too...
After several rough weeks in dealing with my late father's affair's, Todd and I had a chance to take a couple days off and visit my brother and his family.
The young lady with the wind-blown look is my wonderfully talented niece, Brooke. We had just left the church where I had a chance to see my brother, Phil, perform with the church band, and we were soon on our way to watch Brooke practice with her novice ice skating team. In a few months they will be heading off to Ohio for a competition and should they place, they will be heading off to Spain for the internationals.
I'm sorry I haven't been in touch with everybody lately, but we're still handling a lot of loose ends with my late father's estate. The good news is that there is light at the end of the tunnel and we're finally finding some down time.

Attachment Object One, Two and Three are a group of images based on rusted metal industrial relics found while digging in the garden, rather beautiful in their simplicity of form and function. They are the cast-offs of previous inhabitants, much like artifacts unearthed during an archaeological excavation. These particular objects were large, sharp nails or tools used to join one material to another. The title of this series is also a metaphor for our infatuation with things, our addiction to outcomes, and the detritus we may unwittingly leave behind.
Whirling Dervishes, Sema Seb-i Arus, The Wedding Day
Sema is part of the inspiration of Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi as well as of Turkish custom, history, beliefs and culture. It is what we do as a form of remembrance of God.
From a scientific viewpoint we witness that contemporary science definitely confirms that the fundamental condition of our existence is to revolve. There is no object, no being which does not revolve and the shared similarity among beings is the revolution of the electrons, protons and neutrons in the atoms, which constitute the structure of each of them. As a consequence of this similarity, everything revolves and man carries on his live, his very existence by means of the revolution in the atoms, structural stones of his body, by the revolution of his blood, by his coming from the earth and return to it, by his revolving with earth itself.
However, all of these are natural, unconscious revolutions. But man is the possessor of a mind and intelligence which distinguishes him from and makes him superior to other beings. Thus the "whirling dervish" or Semazen causes the mind to participate in the shared similarity and revolution of all other beings… Otherwise, the Sema ceremony represents a mystical journey of man's spiritual ascent through mind and love to "Perfect". Turning towards the truth, his growth through love, desert his ego, find the truth and arrive to the "Perfect", then he return from this spiritual journey as a man who reached maturity and a greater perfection, so as to love and to be of service to the whole of creation, to all creatures without discrimination of believes, races, classes and nations.

I have joined a large number of groups but in recent times I don't feel like adding photos to any groups because I feel it doesn't make sense to add to groups( unless Invited) and Most of the groups doesn't bring in viewership at all
In recent times my reach and likes have tremendously gone down and most of my friends or followers in Flickr say they cant load my photos in my feed!!
i don't know how long this will continue...
{Note} some phrases from Gilson ({ The} Spirit of Medieval Philosophy30) on the Cistercian theology of love: (1) “Born of love, the whole universe is penetrated, moved, vivified from within, by love that circulates through it like life-giving blood through the body” (p. 276); 31 (2) “Human love, in spite of all its ignorance, blindness and even downright error, is always a participation in God’s own love for Himself.… even in the midst of the lowest pleasures, the most abandoned voluptuary is still seeking God” (p. 274); 32
“The question is then not how to acquire the love of God, but rather how to make it fully aware of itself, of its object, and of the way it should bear itself towards its object. In this sense the only difficulty is that of education, or, if you prefer, the re-education of love. The whole effort of Cistercian mysticism is therefore brought to bear on this point.” 33

Yup, as I said this morning, there was a strange yellow object in the sky here in London today...so I went to Richmond park to investigate...lol
Seeing as it's October, it's rutting season...and this lone male and a few of his mates were keeping the Lead male busy all day...It's tough at the top you know, the poor chap must be knackered, what with chasing away randy males and doing...hmmmm...natures calling...I bet he can't wait till November...lol..:O))
I have got a few shots of this guy with his antlers in full view, but I decided to show you this one first as I like the Autumnal Bokeh...:O)))
Anyhoo....I hope you all had a sunny Saturday..:O))))
They keep on building these sharp, tall objects down the coastline, blocking everyone's sun and the cool sea breeze.. What a shame.

A quick shot of the Orion Nebula (M42), one of my favourite celestial objects and a really satisfying target. I've been waiting a year for an opportunity to image this nebula again, this time with a polar alignment and guiding to enable much longer exposures than the 15 second subs I took last time and with a lower ISO to reduce noise. The next project with this is to either stitch two shots together or, better still, rotate the camera in order to fit both the Orion Nebula and the nearby Running Man Nebula into one frame.
13 x 4 minute exposures at 400 ISO
8 x dark frames
10 x flat frames
21 x bias/offset frames (subtracted from flat frames only)
Total exposure time - 52 minutes
Guided with PHD
Processed in Nebulosity, Maxim DL and Photoshop
Equipment
Celestron NexStar 127 SLT
GoTo AltAz mount with homemade wedge

[Wikipedia] The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2000 times the mass of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula.
The Orion Nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky, and is among the most intensely studied celestial features. The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. Astronomers have directly observed protoplanetary disks, brown dwarfs, intense and turbulent motions of the gas, and the photo-ionizing effects of massive nearby stars in the nebula. [Wikipedia]
The story behind objects ( inspire by muffinmare)
I wanted to paint my toes in pink flashy pink but since i buy the botttle it was to cold !! lol !! This is a kitty i found under the warmer electric when i did the clean up of the appartement when i moved in. I decided to keep him, i could not put a kitty in the garbige !! lol !

Happy with this - first attempt at it as well.
Generally, an okay object but if you zoom into its center, you will see the so-called "Pillars of Creation", made famous by (much better than my) images made by Hubble.
The Pillars of Creation (Eagle Nebula, or Messier 16) are a stellar nursery, composed of gas and dust slowly eaten away by massive stars. Stars are being born inside the pillars due to the gas compressed into collapse by the powerful winds from the massive star cluster. The pillars are slowly being eroded but continue jutting out into the cleared region. This object lies 7,000 light years from Earth.

En ces jours de commémoration de la grande guerre, voici le monument en mémoire du Roi Albert I qui résume par sa personne la résistance de la Belgique face à l’envahisseur.
Ce monument se trouve à Nieuwpoort sur les bords de l'Yser. Pour mémoire, il fut décidé d'ouvrir les écluses afin d’inonder la région et bloquer l'avancée allemande.

Früher wurden Fotofilme in Plastik-Döschen verkauft.
In diesen kleinen Behältern habe ich meine Reliquien aufbewahrt.
