'This is the Zen approach: nothing is there to be done. There is nothing to do. One has just to be. Have a rest and be ordinary and be natural.'

the scent of summer never lasts
the nights turn hollow and vast
but nothing remains…nothing lasts.”

Hiking the trail in the Lost Forty forest. Funny (and rather ironic) thing is, is that I did get lost for a short time while I was hiking the Lost Forty trail.
This section of forest lies within the Chippewa National Forest near Bigfork, Minnesota. A Minnesota DNR Scientific and Natural Area, the 32 acre Lost Forty SNA, is also part of this beautiful site.
Due to a surveying error back in 1882, this 144 acre section was never logged. As a result, there are numerous 300-400 year old magnificent old-growth red and white pines in this special place.
The sight of these incredible trees isn't the only thing you experience here. The smell of this forest is unique. The sound is also unique. The breeze blowing through the crowns of these old pines make this piece of the north woods sing a totally different tune than most other sections of forest up here. You have to experience it to understand what I am saying.
For more information about the Lost Forty, go to the Chippewa National Forest's Lost Forty Website or the Minnesota DNR's Lost Forty SNA Website.
This Peregrine Falcon used to live near by.
She flies sometimes close by just like she was saying hello :)

This is the first time I've photographed the Milky Way from this location looking south. Usually I am at the lighthouse facing west. I'd like to shoot this in the spring when you can see the arch across the sky but not sure I have enough energy to be there early in the morning around 3 or 4 am lol.
* A recent trip to Whitby allowed me to take yet another set of shots of its harbour walls . Not a new subject for me but then the light is never quite the same whenever you visit. It was very windy on that particular February afternoon and sand was really blowing about
Some of you will be surprised by the following comments. I was very impressed by the press conference held last night by PM Boris Johnson flanked by the UK’s chief medical officer, Chris Whitty, and the governments chief scientific adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance. Throughout it was serious and I thought level headed . Johnson avoided making any cheap political points and there was not boasting about how well we are doing. You got the sense that it was the scientists who were making the important decisions and they were doing this with rigour and thought . I am no expert on Epidemiology so I clearly have no idea if they are making the right decisions. Vallance and Whitty clarity and thoughtful answers to press questions made me believe that what they are saying is based on sound research and rational thinking not gut instinct . They are also involving behavioural scientists in the planning models. Politicians might like to believe they have all the answers and do not need experts but it is scientists and medical practitioners who will get us through this difficult situation . Hope none of my close friends read this , praising a Tory is a flogging offence
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
Today my manager takes me away from Barnes. I will be moved somewhere for couple of days until I get a new placement. We sit in the station's garden for a coffee and from nowhere a little Robin appears...He is not taking bread crumbs but stands next to me and looking for some minutes..Someone passed away yesterday and we did not manage to say Good Bye each to other..Is it him who sent me a Little Robin? I strongly believe there is connection...
If the old saying is true, that many berries are a sign of a bad winter to come, we could be in for one this year.
ODC Seasonal scene - was a grey wet day today, but plenty of colour to be found with berries popping out everywhere.

I grew up on an Island in Florida and live walking distance from the ocean
but have never painted the ocean so I thought there was no better time then now.
Reception is Sat. April 11th 5-8 at Gallery C - Amelia Island, FL.

A small crowd of locals has gathered outside of Page, AZ, where what was announced to be the last inbound coal train to the Navajo Generating Station. There ended up being another run after this one, leaving later in the day and slipping by most buffs. I only saw one other railfan near Kayenta on the chase of the last train.
The Adventure
The weekend had been magical. Honni had never felt more relaxed or in love with their boyfriend. Spending so much time with family, in the water, and surrounded by the sweet Mediterranean air really recharged and re-energized our adventurer. But like all good moments, this one had to end too. After packing their bags, and saying their goodbyes, Honni and Melethril walked up to the front desk in the lobby and checked out.
So long Portoluna! We’ll miss you!
Where was Honni?

I suspect that the Yellow-crowned Night Herons are gone for the year and on their way south for the winter. I didn’t see any on the bayou on my last outing and noticed a few Osprey had drifted back into the area to spend their winter months on the bayou. This capture was made in the early morning on Armand Bayou on a previous outing.

Almost time to move...this will always be our home, but without you, it's too sad to stay. I take you with me. ♥
A rare occasion when a Short-eared owl not only flies close to you, but perches by your car. I was just about to pack up the car when I noticed this guy sitting on a pole right next to the parking lot.

I wanted to start the New Year off with an image from my past. An image that says goodby and opening the door to what's next in the year to come.
This is Horseshoe Lake in Arizona. When I visit this area, I always make a point to get down to this tiny lake in the mountains West of Phoenix. Many times, the water is so low you can almost walk across the lake.
This is a Sunset afterglow looking East, my favorite quality of light.

Always good to catch up with Arthur. Mind you, I think he might have been more interested in the Tiger Snake, that I wasn't aware of at the time, as a possible dinner.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
The last snowdrops make room for thousands of scilla. And the meadows in our garden are changing from white to blue. :-)

One of the more poignant photos during WWII. Taken in Penn Station in New York, year unknown. Makes you wonder what happened to them. The year and the photographer are unknown.
He was leaving and gods only knew how long he'd be gone. She'd not told him how she really felt and he'd kissed her forehead as he went off to fight the army of the undead. Hoping it wasn't the last goodbye.

Oleg received an invitation for 2 bears to afternoon tea at the Palim Court at the Ritz from the Christmas bear and Father Christmas. Oleg has asked his very best friend Paddy www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/53417843047/in/gallery... to join him
After a very successful afternoon tea of much conversation over tea and various kinds of sweets, it was time to return home again
Saying goodbye is always hard.......
OLEG:
Thank you so much for your company my dear friend Paddy.
I enjoyed the meaningful conversations and will miss them.
PADDY: (wipes a tear)
I'm going to miss those conversations too Oleg.
Thank you so much for letting me come with you.
OLEG:
And...what a rest without Peter.
Fine for a while, but I long to see him again
PADDY:
I feel the same way Oleg.
OLEG:
Then we should say goodbye now
PADDY:
I have to go now because the train leaves in four minutes
Bye Oleg!!!
OLEG: (waving)
Bye Paddy!
Special greetings to Daddy!

Thank you dear Jesse for sending me Paddy's photo :-)
We were so blessed today. Our Flickr friend, John, met us and then took us on the most enjoyable outing you can image.
We saw Cobh's old gothic church, we rode the ferry, we visited a castle up for sale, and we found one of the best graveyards ever.
But only after the funniest seek-and-find adventure.
It's a good thing that John is so patient, and he is such a good driver because between one-way streets, and a 1/2 dozen different sets of directions, John did manage to get us to the Clonmel (Old Church) cemetery.
There was no end to laughter as we went against all male instincts, and pulled over one likely Cobh citizen after another.
"Sorry," John would say (they don't say, "Excuse me" or "Pardon me" in Ireland -- they say, "Sorry.") And then the three of us would listen to the directions to the cemetery from yet another person.
It became a comedy of errors. Ask for help, listen to a convoluted set of directions, try to follow them and not be stymied by one-way streets, fail, and then stop another person.
If you are ever in Cobh, look John up. Terrific guy! And I am not just saying that!
Please give his photostream a visit. www.flickr.com/photos/25643444@N08/

Some one is going away. Departure. Something
die in us.
Not all farewells are bad and they
are always a part of our life, but
every farewell changes me a little as
if it takes a piece of me every time.
Let go, they tell me. But even so
I find it hard. Maybe it’s the hardest thing when I know
things are ending.
Everyone goes eventually and I am
no different.
But until then, every farewell from someone I love
Is breaking a part of me. Tearing me inside.
And yet, makes me whole again
what are you saying? that you want
eternal life? are your thoughts really
as compelling as all that? certainly
you don't look at us, don't listen to us,
on your skin
stain of sun, dust
of yellow buttercups: i'm talking
to you, you staring through
bars of high grass shaking
your little rattle - o
the soul! the soul! is it enough
only to look inward? contempt
for humanity is one thing, but why
disdain the expansive
field, your gaze rising over the clear heads
of the wild buttercups into what? your poor
idea of heaven: absence
of change. better than earth? how
would you know, who are neither
here nor there, standing in our midst?
