A GREETING CARD star, one of the nations favourites. Often bold and inquisitive in garden settings, strongly and conspicuously territorial, so how can you not take its picture, I love them, seen at Stodmarsh, Kent, UK.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP in these difficult times, please leave a comment, and I will look forward to doing the same on your latest posting.

Enjoy the rest of the week, stay safe, God bless..............Tomx

Potrebbe sembrare che la farfalla abbia scelto di posarsi sul fiore di questa viola esotica con l'intenzione di suggere il nettare. Invece non è così e quello scelto dalla farfalla, una cavolaia, è semplicemente un posatoio che le consente di mimetizzarsi efficacemente. Anche in Natura, come del resto nelle cose dell'uomo, le cose talvolta non sono come sembrano, ma vanno ..... .. interpretate.

A hummingbird takes a break.

My tribute to Queen Elizabeth II

Mahony Bay, Nova Scotia 2019

A Buck rests after a furious morning of rutting with nearby competitors.

I think age is catching up on my little pal, he seems to spend more time in the chair than I do!

The view from part way down the 199 steps.

The white house with the light on at the very left of the shot is called Steps cottage. It was where we were staying during our week in Whitby over Easter. There wasn't so many steps to climb to take this iconic view at sunrise, which was great for me!!

To get to the cottage from the centre you do have to climb quite a few steps which was a little tiring after a full day out. By the end of the week the walk up seemed slightly less tiring! 😂

I should probably attempt to get fitter before we return for 2 weeks in the summer holidays, then I'll have a go at tackling the 199 steps to do a sunrise shoot from the Abbey!

First chapter....

Dear Future Generations,

I think I speak for the rest of us when I say

Sorry, sorry we left you with our mess of a planet

Sorry that we were too caught up in our own doings to do something

Sorry we listened to people who made excuses

To do nothing

I hope you forgive us

We just didn’t realize how special the earth was

Like a marriage going wrong

We didn’t know what we had until it was gone....

more on my blog!

an earthy intermingling of spirit lives, past and present, under the vast expanse of a wholly unreachable sky ...

The Frisian inscription on the cross says,

"Uun jesus as rau as an frees"

In English, this means, „In Jesus there is rest and peace.“

I am not religious in any way, but religious symbols often are a hell of a subject. 😈

These creatures are absolutely majestic. Those antlers jutting up like a wooden crown, the whole way they hold themselves... It's almost regal. You can tell, as he lays there, he knows he's in charge. I walked from nearly where that car in the background is to this new spot finding better framing opportunities, I wanted to actually capture this elk properly this time.

This is a second image of the one earlier, sans the distracting car in the background.
