Risk It All
By Yuna
Let me tell you what
I’ve been thinking about
Love is on my mind
Yea I’m freakin’ out
When I’m lying down
Feels like somethings wrong
Coz I got someone
Waiting for me now
In my mind,
we’re holding hands
Do you see it baby?
In my mind
We don’t got to pretend
Can you feel it babe?
I would risk it all
Just to feel your touch
I just want it all
If it aint too much
If the sky should fall
We can say we tried
Boy its natural
Let our worlds collide
Someone told me once
When you find your love
Hang on to it tight
Never let it go
Not gonna wait to find the courage
I’m gon’ go ahead and say it
Before it’s too late
Just listen to me baby
In my mind,
we’re holding hands
Do you see it baby?
In my mind
We don’t got to pretend
Can you feel it babe?
I would risk it all
Just to feel your touch
I just want it all
If it aint too much
If the sky should fall
We can say we tried
Boy its natural
Let our worlds collide
I would leave it all
To be with you
You should leave it all
To be with me too

Elvaston Castle is a stately home in Elvaston, Derbyshire, England. The Gothic Revival castle and surrounding parkland is run and owned by Derbyshire County Council as a country park known as Elvaston Castle Country Park. The country park has 200 acres (0.81 km2) of woodlands, parkland and formal gardens.
The centrepiece of the estate is the Grade II* Listed Elvaston Castle. The castle has been neglected and is in need of restoration. Due to its condition, the building is not open to the public, and since 2008 has been listed on the Buildings at Risk Register.

Ticks are small, parasitic arachnids that can carry and transmit various diseases to humans and animals. Some common diseases associated with ticks include:
1. Lyme Disease: It is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted primarily by the black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis) in North America. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint aches, and a characteristic skin rash.
2. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF): It is caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii and is transmitted by the American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis) and the Rocky Mountain wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni). Symptoms include high fever, headache, rash, and muscle aches.
3. Babesiosis: It is caused by microscopic parasites of the Babesia family and is transmitted primarily by the black-legged tick. Symptoms may include fever, fatigue, muscle aches, and anemia.
4. Ehrlichiosis: It is caused by bacteria of the Ehrlichia family and is transmitted by the Lone Star tick (Amblyomma americanum) and the black-legged tick. Symptoms may include fever, headache, fatigue, and muscle aches.
To avoid tick-borne diseases, consider the following preventive measures:
1. Wear protective clothing: When venturing into tick-prone areas like forests or grassy areas, wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and closed-toe shoes. Tuck pants into socks and opt for light-colored clothing to spot ticks easily.
2. Use tick repellents: Apply an EPA-approved insect repellent containing DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) or picaridin on exposed skin. Permethrin-based repellents can be used on clothing, shoes, and camping gear to repel ticks.
3. Perform regular tick checks: After spending time outdoors, thoroughly check your body for ticks. Pay close attention to areas such as the scalp, behind the ears, underarms, groin, and the back of the knees. Promptly remove any attached ticks using tweezers, grasping them as close to the skin's surface as possible.
4. Create a tick-safe environment: Keep lawns and outdoor recreational areas well-maintained. Clear leaf litter, tall grasses, and brush around your home to minimize tick habitats. Consider using tick control products or seek professional pest control services if necessary.
5. Check pets and gear: Pets can carry ticks indoors, so ensure regular tick checks and appropriate tick prevention measures for your pets. Examine camping gear, backpacks, and other outdoor equipment for ticks before bringing them indoors.
Remember, early detection and proper removal of ticks can reduce the risk of contracting tick-borne diseases. If you develop symptoms after a tick bite, seek medical attention promptly and inform your healthcare provider about the exposure to ticks.

In case you can't tell what these are, they are dart flights - very well used. I had no idea they were so shredded on the edges, until I got up close with the extension tubes. Yes, we play darts :)

I can hear you but I won't
Some look for trouble while others don't
There's a thousand reasons I should go about my day
And ignore your whispers, which I wish would go away, oh-oh-oh
You're not a voice
You're just a ringing in my ear
And if I heard you, which I don't
I'm spoken for, I fear
Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls
I'm sorry, secret siren, but I'm blocking out your calls
I've had my adventure, I don't need something new
I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
What do you want? 'Cause you've been keeping me awake
Are you here to distract me so I make a big mistake?
Or are you someone out there who's a little bit like me?
Who knows deep down I'm not where I'm meant to be?
Every day's a little harder as I feel my power grow
Don't you know there's part of me that longs to go
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Where are you going?
Don't leave me alone
How do I follow you
Into the unknown?
... or two 👀😂🐌

Cheetahs are very much at risk and currently classified as 'vulnerable' with only about 7000 left in the wild. This is as a result of a variety of reasons including habitat loss, contact with humans, climate change and also the fact that babies have extremely low survival rates with some studies suggesting the figure is as low as 10%.
I was very fortunate to see a mother and three youngsters when I was in the Maasai Mara in Kenya on my last trip. The good news is that this mother's litter of three(one pictured here) all made it to adulthood. Unfortunately a while after I was in the area the mother, Kweli, was reported to have disappeared.

While hunting for a composition, I came across this rocky area at Marshall Point. It looked like it had potential, so I examined it further from various perspectives. As in Risk Management, one hedges against the future hoping for the best outcome. And since it is always a crap shoot, we do our best to prepare as best we can.
The sunset may or may not arrive. But 80% of successful landscape photography is being there. After that, having a scenic landscape combined with sunset colours, help with the final result. The rest is in the form of technique and can be found on numerous YouTube videos.
The winter weather is absolutely brutal as Metra 143 heads outbound with a Union Pacific Northwest Line train, passing under the searchlights at Clybourn Junction, Chicago. Windchills were well below -20 degrees F, and raw, ripping wind was driving powdery snow into every crevice. Risking frostbite and hypothermia like an idiot, I stood outside on the platform for over an hour here to document the (Covid-reduced) "rush" in some of the most intense winter conditions Chicago had seen in a few years.

I hold my breath and Mark is ready to catch a video😄 as Dustin stands at the edge of the Lake on a steel groin. He’s focused only on the shot, balanced above the water with that familiar mix of boldness and calm. It’s a moment that captures exactly who he is steady, curious, and always willing to step a little closer to the edge to see the world in his own way.
"If you look at ocean water in a clear glass, you’ll see that it’s not clear but full of tiny particles. Seawater contains dissolved salts, proteins, fats, dead algae, detergents and other pollutants. If you shake this glass of ocean water vigorously, small bubbles will form on the surface of the liquid.
Sea foam forms under similar conditions – but on a much grander scale – when storms roll in and the ocean is agitated by wind and waves. The creation of sea foam can occur often in gargantuan proportions.
Most sea foam is not harmful to humans and is often an indication of a productive ocean ecosystem. But when large harmful algal blooms decay near shore, there are potential for impacts to human health and the environment. During blooms popping sea foam bubbles are one way that algal toxins become airborne. The resulting aerosol can irritate the eyes of beach goers and poses a health risk for those with asthma or other respiratory conditions."
Tonight, many people in Cumbria are at risk from severe and dangerous flooding.....my heart goes out to them. Let's hope dry London has taken notice....my son was flooded in July and has just returned to his house in December.

Here is another photo from the Tops of 2018 folder that I'm just now adding to FB. This is the caption I wrote at the time:
After getting the photos in this post:

After getting those shots the whole gang of Doug Boudrow, John Kittredge, Tyler Varnum, Vincent Colombo, and whoever else I'm missing moved down to the Ludlow area to shoot the foliage train from Chester coming up the hill. We did the same, but then made the risky decision to chase east a bit cause there was one shot I really wanted with the last Green Mountain painted geep on the rear.
We weren't sure if we could get it and then still double back west before the 263/slurry freight started down hill.
Well, as you can see, we did.
This shot posted a while ago if you missed it: flic.kr/p/2i5muQ4
But if we hadn't and missed the shot of 263 round the curve at Okemo in perfect storm light I think Doug would have lost it!
This is the shot I took the risk for. Green Mountain GP9 804 rides the rear of the 10 AM foliage train heading back east downgrade on the former Rutland mainline to Bellows Falls. The old Rutland bridge over the Black River in the village of Proctorsville just east of Depot St is so cool to frame a train in with its build date cut out in the top of the truss frame.

The Pearl Hill fire burned 223,730 acres across Douglas County and it is just one of many in this state alone. We camped at Sun Lakes, not far from where this was taken (Jameson Lake) and this was pretty much the view the entire time. That structure is a shop on a couples small piece of land overlooking this once beautiful desert oasis and we were astounded that it survived only to find out that his house is completely gone and it was only thirty feet away. All of the power lines had burned down and so there was no water to fight the incoming blaze and the fd came and told them they had five minutes to pack their lifetime of belongings because there is only one way out of there and they weren't going to risk lives to save one house.
for reference the shot in comments was taken from behind me, that bush is certainly gone now...
