great satisfaction in the eyes of this southern carmine bee eater (merops nubicoides).

with a lenght of 33/38cm this is the biggest south african bee eater and obviously it's specialized an medium/big targets like this very big dragonfly

I think most are aware that I had a really awful 2022. I lost my entire in-world support system due to circumstances completely beyond my control. People I considered family suddenly wanted nothing to do with me.

2023 has been about picking myself up, scraping off the dust and starting over again. I could have hid. I could have alted up. I could have quit.

I will not give anyone that satisfaction. I'm still here. Whatever you may think, you didn't win. You didn't even come close.

When you love someone so deeply

They become your life

It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside

Blindly I imagined I could

Keep you under glass

Now I understand to hold you

I must open up my hands

And watch you rise

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly, oh

Fly abandonedly into the sun

If you should return to me

We truly were meant to be

So spread your wings and fly

Butterfly

I can't believe I"ve never used this song before ... but it suits my love perfectly

I've been meaning to take some shots for the CLiC group for some time but couldn't really find the time to actually do it until yesterday! So I was pretty pleased to see this one turning out to my satisfaction with just a tiny increase of contrast and no other treatment (the tones are as captured).

This one's for you, Heidi, with a very big Thanks for providing the inspiration and incentive :))) I hope you like it

Buon Natale a tutti ed un 2020 di salute, fortuna e soddisfazioni

Merry Christmas to all and a 2020 of health, luck and satisfaction.

And I hope to finally learn to write correctly in English ...

I can't get no satisfaction

I can't get no satisfaction

'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try

I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm drivin' in my car

And a man comes on the radio

He's tellin' me more and more

About some useless information

Supposed to fire my imagination

I can't get no

Oh no no no

Hey hey hey

That's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction

I can't get no satisfaction

'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try

I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm watchin' my TV

And a man comes on and tells me

How white my shirts can be

But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke

The same cigarettes as me

When I'm ridin' round the world

And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that

And I'm tryin' to make some girl

Who tells me baby better come back maybe next week

'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak

I can't get no

Oh no no no

Hey hey hey

That's what I say

That moment when they prove you're right

At last I managed to get shots of the young swallows being fed. Previous attempts were curtailed by dull weather, fence posts and a car tooting behind me as I was blocking the road

Description in English, German and Dutch

English:

During my walk from Murnau to Ohlstadt in Bavaria I walked along the Loisach river. The Loisach is a tributary of the Isar and the Isar is a tributary of the world famous Danube. Some parts of the river have a beautiful blue-green color. I decided to get off the trail to get a closer look at the river. When I got close to the current I was enchanted by the beauty of the water and the green surroundings. I was all alone, because the spot I had chosen is not known by tourists, but it is very beautiful. On the waterfront I decided to take some pictures first and then turn my phone off completely. No distraction for a while. With my pants pulled up I walked barefoot into the clear water and that was very cooling on this sun-drenched warm summer day. Staring at the impressive mountains of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, I then stood in the shallow part of the river and decided to close my eyes and think about nothing for a while. It was another special experience in beautiful Bavaria where I experienced a moment of satisfaction and ultimate peace in one of the most beautiful tributaries of the world. All my beautiful experiences of recent times have been made possible by the 9 euro ticket. Unfortunately, everything comes to an end and August 31 was the last day that the ticket could be used. I used it for three months. Only 27 euros for travelling in thee months. Sweet 9 euro ticket, it was an honor to carry you with me in the summer period. I miss you already, but the memories will last forever in the form of my photos. There will therefore be a lot of pictures here on Flickr of my adventures in Germany.

Deutsch:

Bei meiner Wanderung von Murnau nach Ohlstadt in Bayern bin ich an der Loisach entlang gelaufen. Die Loisach ist ein Nebenfluss der Isar und die Isar ist ein Nebenfluss der weltberühmten Donau. Einige Teile des Flusses haben eine schöne blaugrüne Farbe. Ich beschloss, den Weg zu verlassen, um mir den Fluss genauer anzusehen. Als ich mich der Strömung näherte, war ich von der Schönheit des Wassers und der grünen Umgebung verzaubert. Ich war ganz allein, denn der Ort, den ich mir ausgesucht hatte, ist bei Touristen nicht bekannt, aber sehr schön. An der Uferpromenade beschloss ich, erst ein paar Fotos zu machen und dann mein Handy komplett auszuschalten. Keine Ablenkung für eine Weile. Mit hochgezogener Hose ging ich barfuß ins klare Wasser und das war an diesem sonnendurchfluteten warmen Sommertag sehr erfrischend. Mit Blick auf die imposanten Berge von Garmisch-Partenkirchen stand ich dann im seichten Teil des Flusses und beschloss, die Augen zu schließen und eine Weile an nichts zu denken. Es war ein weiteres besonderes Erlebnis im schönen Bayern, wo ich einen Moment der Zufriedenheit und des ultimativen Friedens in einem der schönsten Nebenflüsse der Welt erlebte. All meine schönen Erlebnisse der letzten Zeit wurden durch das 9-Euro-Ticket ermöglicht. Leider geht alles zu Ende und der 31. August war der letzte Tag, an dem das Ticket verwendet werden konnte. Ich habe es drei Monate lang benutzt. Nut 27 euro! Süßes 9-Euro-Ticket, es war mir eine Ehre, dich 3 monaten mitzunehmen. Ich vermisse dich jetzt schon, aber die Erinnerungen werden in Form meiner Fotos für immer bleiben. Daher wird es hier auf Flickr viele Bilder von meinen Abenteuern in Deutschland geben.

Nederlands:

Tijdens mijn wandeling van Murnau naar Ohlstadt in Beieren liep ik langs de Loisach rivier. De Loisach is een zijrivier van de Isar en de Isar is dan weer een zijrivier van de wereldberoemde Donau. Sommige gedeelten van de rivier hebben een prachtige blauw-groene kleur. Ik besloot om van het pad af te gaan om de rivier van dichterbij te kunnen aanschouwen. Toen ik vlakbij de stroming aankwam werd ik betoverd door de schoonheid van het water en de groene omgeving. Ik was helemaal alleen, want het plekje wat ik had uitgekozen is niet bekend bij toeristen, maar wel erg mooi. Aan de waterkant besloot ik om eerst wat foto's te maken en daarna mijn telefoon helemaal uit te zetten. Even geen afleiding. Met mijn broek opgestroopt liep ik met blote voeten het heldere water in en dat was erg verkoelend op deze zonovergoten warme zomerdag. Starend naar de indrukwekkende bergen van Garmisch-Partenkirchen stond ik daarna in het ondiepe gedeelte van de rivier en besloot om vervolgens mijn ogen dicht te doen en even helemaal nergens aan te denken. Het was weer een bijzondere ervaring in het wonderschone Beieren waarbij ik een moment van voldoening en ultieme rust heb ervaren in een van de mooiste zijrivieren van de wereld. Al mijn mooie ervaringen van de afgelopen tijd zijn mede mogelijk gemaakt door het 9 euro ticket. Helaas komt aan alles een einde en was 31 augustus de laatste dag dat het ticket gebruikt kon worden. Drie maanden heb ik er gebruik van gemaakt. Lief 9 euro ticket, het was een eer om je 3 keer bij me te mogen dragen. Ik mis je nu al, maar de herinneringen blijven voor eeuwig bestaan in de vorm van mijn foto's. Er zullen daarom nog een hoop foto's hier op Flickr volgen van mijn avonturen in Duitsland.

I will beat her! I've lost to her before but not this time!

P.S What is it with mean spirited people who love to pick on the soft hearted? I read about here on Flickr and it happens in real life too. Get a life!

For the people that get picked on, I understand; It is disheartening when it happens you feel deflated and shocked but then you fight back by not changing who you are. That is the only way to win or they keep doing it because they're miserable so they want to make you just as miserable. Don't give them the power or satisfaction.

For the sociopaths; If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. The world doesn't need to hear it.

The literature regarding dreams mostly suggests that dreaming about winter is a symbol of disappointment, poor health, and a general lack of satisfaction with life. In the fine print at the bottom of the page, it says that winter dreams could also mean that you will be highly successful in all your beginnings. Fortunately, I've always been the type to read the small print. As they say, the devil is in the details--or perhaps the angels in this case.

Happy Fence Friday everyone.

My dog very satisfied after drinking virgin water of a little hill we climbed at July on our holidays. It was a hot day so we decided to climb the hill to get a bit of that delicious and refreshing water. It was very tasty!

Toscana 2017

As the sun was going down at the Cheesering on Bodmin Moor it was obvious that bank of cloud was not going anywhere. Just thickening if anything so we just sat and waited as as I knew.. err hoped it would become wedged like a star between the land and those clouds. By this time only two other people remained sitting not far from us just watching the spectacle as we were...

I am not an experienced landscape photographer so it’s a good job I had plenty of time to choose the best options for this shot but even then I could not balance the brightness and shadows successfully to my satisfaction.

I tried hard grads, soft grads and stacked grads..no good.

This is a blend of three shots...

One for the top, one for the middle and one for the foreground rocks. Impossible without a tripod so I’m pleased I took it along.

Well Jonathan took it along actually like the gentleman he is..

The same place as the previous shot as that was my preferred composition.

The Cheesewring is a short walk (approx. 1½ km the north) across the moor. On a clear day its distinct shape can be seen from most parts of the Minions moor - standing on the edge of the Cheesewring Quarry. Its shape has been the subject of many debates; the result of weather erosion on the granite strata of the moor over many years. From the Cheesewring the views across the Cornish countryside and into Devon are nothing less than stunning on a clear day.

I don't need you, I want you.

I have no blanks to fill,

I have spaces to share.

I don't expect you to make me happy,

I want to smile at my joy

and make you smile at mine.

I don't love you to death, I'm not yours and you're not mine.

I'm complete even without you,

You are perfect even without me.

I won't die if you leave,

You won't stop being happy if I leave.

You don't take responsibility

Of my personal satisfaction,

I welcome you as a mirror and messenger,

I offer you my eyes to investigate yours.

I do not bind you or let myself be bound by the need to be loved,

from the fear of abandonment.

I am not alone without you,

You are not lost without me.

We are two wonderful precious universes,

complete, perfect,

that meet to create new worlds.

I will not close doors and windows to keep you next to me,

I will not allow you to restrict my flight.

I honor your freedom by choosing mine every day.

The age of contentment - the turning point in life at which one obtaines financial freedom, rising salaries, climbing of ‘corporate’ ladders, being debt free and not worrying about what others think.
