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

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.

It rained - a lot. At least for Portland. It rained fairly hard all day, only letting up late in the day. I risked my camera to get some shots of these water-resistant birds continuing their activities.
... or two 👀😂🐌

I loved this in B/W but it seemed such a shame to take the color away. Steve came up with the brilliant idea of doing half and half! : )

Bramham Biggin is situated on Bramham Park and is Grade II* Listed The building dates in part from the 17th century and is constructed of local magnesian limestone with a stone slate roof, on the site of a medieval Nostell Priory monks' cell.
It was a college from 1842 to 1907 but closed because of a typhoid epidemic, the headmaster is buried in Bramham churchyard. Afterwards it became a private residence again.
Bramham Biggin is now vacant and has been for some time, so the three-storey house in the Bramham Park Estate is in a state of disrepair and English Heritage have now identified it as at risk.
More information and the history of the name Biggin can be seen at www.leodis.net/ViewImage/ByIndicator/2004118_63416690
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.
High risk of extinction in the wild (Endangered). Cambodia.
Gibbons are wonderful! They are born light, turn black at the age of two years; later, the females turn light again, and the males remain black! Gibbons live in the crowns of tall trees and move through them at speeds of up to 50 km / h. Guarding their" high-altitude " territory, they sing in very high voices, using the singing technique that Opera singers have been learning for many years!

Risk and Reward - A New Year's photography resolution for me was to capture wildlife in the elements more. Photographing in the rain can certainly be risky (requires great care with equipment), but also rewards one with some of the best behavioral and artistic image opportunities.
I spent several hours photographing this particular male hummingbird who I've come to know over the years. I took almost 1,500 images, and of all those, this was the only one where the lighting, pose, colors, sharpness, and raindrops all came together to convey the rainforest mood I sought to capture.
I look forward to capturing more unique images in the rain this year!

Lonely Wolf Seeks Adventurous Red Riding Hood
Tired of prowling through the woods alone. Seeking one daring, cloak-wearing risk-taker who doesn’t mind a little fur and fangs.
About me:
- Strong, independent, and howls at the moon for fun.
Excellent sense of direction (unless there’s a woodcutter involved).
- Has all my own teeth
- Enjoys long walks through the forest, sneaking into grandmas’ houses, and howling meaningful ballads about life’s mysteries (and maybe an occasional hunger pang).
About you:
- Loves the color red, because I can’t resist a bold fashion statement.
- Enjoys surprise visits to Granny's house—bonus points if you can bake.
- Must appreciate a wolf with layers: I’ve got a wild side but also a soft side (especially around cuddly grandmas).
Let's skip the huffing and puffing, and build something real.
You bring the basket, I’ll bring the charm.
Swipe right on this Big Bad Wolf—promise I’m mostly harmless. ;)

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.

Just another freak skirting the edge of the ledge for cheap thrills and a sick rush.

Sometimes wearing an outfit like this lF Design Dharsy does have its risks should you choose to wear it.
It is a very provocative ensemble to adorn since guys are sexually driven by what they see and how they objectify a woman’s behavior. No one wears provocative clothing in the hopes that people won’t look at them.
On the other hand, like a lot of things in life, it’s a relative thing. Some girls wear them to gain attention while others wear them simply because they enjoy wearing them. We should buy clothes for us, not for others. It's your choice, your taste.
I do wear clothing here which may be considered provocative for the feeling of freedom it gives me - personally confirming that I am secure in my own body. Dressing provocatively can be empowering for me if I elect to do so.
This Dharsy Outfit exemplifies a woman’s desire to be attractive. I appreciate respect more than attention however this sexy piece will stir your man’s erogenous zones, period. It is available this month at Swank Events for May ’22.

These Gibraltar apes have really gotten around over the years, mainly because they know no fear. It was amazing to watch the cheeky beasties in real life.
The original photo was a piece of driftwood on a Lake Michigan beach. Photoleap was used to add elements of photos that I have taken.
The goal of the game is to occupy every territory on the board and in doing so, eliminate the other players.
Getting a lot of calls on my phone lately that are flagged as spam risks. Love the forewarning. It just makes life easier not engaging in unwanted calls. I only wish that other aspects of life could be similarly monitored. Would be great if the people I encounter would come with warnings. Just imagine if a message would appear over their heads indicating risk of rude or arrogant behavior or bad intentions. Same might apply to situations that are likely to result in adverse consequences. Intuition carries you only so far in life. Oftentimes problems aren't realized until you wade in too deep. Extrication becomes that much more difficult.
This vacant house provided needed no such 'spam risk' warning. Its issues were abundantly revealed in the brilliant glare of a midday February sun. The houses around here, for the most part, possess a rural charm. They just look and feel right, even if somewhat run down. At least in three seasons of the year. But winter has a way of stripping away that veneer of sensibility. Absent the verdant summer foliage, all the warts are revealed. Misshapen trees, multiple saplings growing up around the foundation, tangled overgrowth, and capped off here with dagger-like icicles dangling from the rain gutters. The village has been transformed over recent weeks by multiple layers of snow. The result is a largely monochromatic landscape. The dominant cycles are sun and cloud. Cloudy days flatten out the view, leaving an impression of dull and dreary. Sunny days transform these views into high contrast with seemingly more shadows than there are objects to cast them. My pick is the sunny format. I love the utter complexity of scenes like this, and there ability to cut through the snow blindness and behold what's really before me.
