They don`t want to miss the sun light any more. Thousands of wood anemones hurry up, because the trees in their neighbourhood want to send out their leafes, too. The run of the best sunny places has started. Perhaps the same phenomenon we see in our hotels: 4am the tourists taking their towels, lying it over a beach chair close to a pool.

this feather, slightly different angle. i like both shots for different reasons.

I can't find to many other things I would love to do to start my morning. Being at the beach to see the sunrise and the sunset is my ideal of a perfect day. This SoCal teen had the same idea. I thought his stance was more thought provoking so I went with a monochrome image to portray him scouting out where to find the best waves. Classic California here with the beat up board and long blonde hair.

I do have some Autumn images in the tank from the Midwest that I need to publish but these ocean images just speak to my soul a little more.

Thanks for taking the time. Thanks for the faves and comments as well.

Same Old Fears

. . . Just how well do you do at finding Snowy Owls? This is exactly the same owl I posted yesterday, only from the other side of the field, and about 100 yards away again, but this time where he blended in with the background a little better! What, you cannot see him you say?

Have a good weekend Facebook and Flickr friends!

I do like side by side shots that compare the difference between two buses or trains which are similar technically but yet have minor differences

Metrobus ADL Enviro200 172 (YX61ENO) passes SEN42 (YX09FMU) at Orpington Bus Station on routes R8 and R4.

In life all doors can either lead to the same point, or to another quite opposite. Our paths in life don’t need to follow any formula, although sometimes it would feel nicer if we received the secret directions up front. It would prevent a lot of frustrations and sadness if we knew which opportunities to accept and which ones to pass by.

From my sister's perspective....

same race as the other monochromatic demons with weird names related to their elements in my gallery. love her boots.

same wall (as the previous)

different (bit sadder) perspective

Young male Red Fox out hunting voles on a snowy day.

I just checked our weather.

It has warmed up.

Now 15 degrees.

But, it is also predicting another 8 inches of snow today.

Since, they are usually wrong, on the low side.

I figure it will be at least double that.

I guess time will tell.

Camera Settings: f/5 - 1/250 - 223mm - ISO 1250

Same location but different…?

same flower as an earlier post, this one shot with Sony A6000 and Sigma 30/2.8 with Raynox DCR150 close up lens.

Mayfield Park, Austin, TX.

Taken same day as www.flickr.com/photos/138912516@N03/24384412161/in/dateta... -- I was originally going to throw this one away but decided it was worth keeping when deleting old photos today. It shows very clearly why the snow could become so golden in the sunset that day.

In the darkroom.

The name of my neighbour´s clever goat is Sissi. She is the perfect gourmet and doesn´t eat all. Here I met her eating camomile.

Sometimes we should do the same and make a selection - not only in the case of food....

New year… same thoughts…same message…

Note to self: Time to tuck '23 into the memory banks, the gains and losses, sad goodbyes and fresh hellos, things accomplished, mistakes made, lessons learned... Don't look at how far you've yet to go, look behind and see how far you've come. Moving on... new chances to get it right..to be a better version of yourself!

And now, as always.... my wish for you... it's exactly the same each and every year...

"And you asked me what I want this year

And I try to make this kind and clear

Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

'Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings

And designer love and empty things

Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days "

~Goo Goo Dolls

Better days my friends.... Thank you for your kind thoughts and words, your encouragement and your friendship. It means to world to me! Happy New Year!

#mood for Winter:

I'm driving home for Christmas

Oh, I can't wait to see those faces

I'm driving home for Christmas, yea

Well I'm moving down that line

And it's been so long

But I will be there

I sing this song

To pass the time away

Driving in my car

Driving home for Christmas

It's gonna take some time

But I'll get there

Top to toe in tailbacks

Oh, I got red lights on the run

But soon there'll be a freeway yeah

Get my feet on holy ground

So I sing for you

Though you can't hear me

When I get through

And feel you near me

Driving in my car

I'm driving home for Christmas

Driving home for Christmas

With a thousand memories

I take a look at the driver next to me

He's just the same

Just the same

Top to toe in tailbacks

Oh, I got red lights all around, uh

I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah

Get my feet on holy ground

So I sing for you

Though you can't hear me

When I get through

Oh and feel you near me

Driving in my car

Driving home for Christmas

Driving home for Christmas

With a thousand memories

I take a look at the driver next to me

He's just the same

He's driving home, driving home

Another photo (last of the series) taken while enjoying the company of a talented Pinoy flickrite, southlarena (a.k.a. Joey). An EB and photowalk at the same time. The real challenge here was the strong winter wind that also jitters the tripod.

on KitKat and PopCorn

Zurich, Switzerland

Same picture but reworked! I hope it is now better!

We had a few hours of street photography in Galway today. People weren't in great mood, weather was threatening rain. They were wearing dark colours, and hurrying from the spitting showers. This fellow must have felt the same!

same cake, I just added a broch to see if it would work or if it was to much....

Same squirrel photo, just cropped and rotated.

Same rose, different background and different treatment

I certainly didn't expect to see this, it's owned by the same garage as the first Forward Control I spotted a few years back

Looking up to the World.....

Same field as the other photo but taken from the roadside.
