A time to think on the way home in the car, with the her son asleep next to her she finally gets rest.
I don't get a chance to get close to Carolina Saddlebags often. It seems they rarely perch. This one let me get quite close. It was a breezy day so might be it just wanted a rest from the wind.
“Rest when you're weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.”

Came across these items along my stroll when I took a seat I understand why they are there the view was totally beautiful.

"Dave led and the rest followed and proud he was to lead his demonstration of the funeral march 'of the death of the valley
the Rhymney Valley' and Dave said he would and did so even though diagnosed with a serious illness 'if i am not there i will be dead 'he said but he was strong enough to attend to protest against an Open CAST Mine AT NANT LLESG West of Rhymney.
He spoke to the people and gave them the strength that he himself was losing in his own fight for survival for life and other speakers followed to voice their objections to Miller Argent's attempt of invading the Rhymney Valley to take coal, an unwelcome and an unwanted mineral which should not be disturbed by the methods used to savage the green areas in the Rhymney Valley.
'We will overcome' sang the crowd,' and 'no no to open cast mines', an example of courage and determination for all to listen to including the silent and unemotional authority of Caerphilly County Borough Council who were to say the least were civilised to accept that people gathered to protest, were the bread and butter of all who worked within the Councill offices.
When the people cease in their struggle to appose an enemy at the gates of the Rhymney Valley 'Rage Rage against the dying of the light'." David Thomas Williams
Within the era of scientifically accepted 'we are the cause of climate change and global warming' and its inevitable consequences, can we afford new and further exploitation of fossil fuels?
"The world possesses the tools and technology needed to reduce carbon emissions, build a more sustainable economy and end our reliance on fossil fuels."

Currently Wales and the UK are awash with a tied of new fossil fuel exploitation, shale gas, coal bed methane and new open cast coal mines. So often cited as bridging too renewables, or replacing imported fossil fuels.
13 April 2014: IPCC PRESS RELEASE
Greenhouse gas emissions accelerate despite reduction efforts.
"Scenarios show that to have a likely chance of limiting the increase in global mean temperature to two degrees Celsius, means lowering global greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 70 percent compared with 2010 by mid-century, and to near-zero by the end of this century. Ambitious mitigation may even require removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere."

All of this new fossil fuel development will bridge to renewables, pay for it, not distract from it? Does our governance seem like they are leading the way to mitigating climate change, are we a shinning example to other countries to follow suit?
Doesn't a global bullet need to be bitten within a short time scale, or is the bullet simply being deflecting for future generations to deal with, and its real impact?

An experimental image. Rest Thou Blessed. Pictorial photography is fun. While driving on the Highway I saw this graveyard. I continued with the smoke effect, altered the perspective(14mm wide angle) and solarised the image to present a glimpse of the nether world.
This graveyard reminded me of the departed souls and I imagined them hanging around in the form of smoke perhaps(?), how will they perceive the scene? - with their otherworldly perception!
I chose a low angle, altered the perspective.... and this is the result.
