A pair of Steller's jays were in the shadows of the woods, but would occasionally hit a shaft of light, revealing their lovely blue coloring.

This week's alternative for MM, I couldn't choose between this and the Iris. Hubby liked this one and the others in the house liked the Iris, the one that got posted.
A juvenile Yellow-crowned night-heron (nyctanassa violacea). I spotted the heron on the edge of some mangroves. As I approached slowly, the heron moved to the other side. We proceeded to play a snails-paced game of hide-and-seek. I would tip toe around a mangrove and the heron would quietly move away. This went on for some time until the heron thought this small dune/gully would provide an escape route, but it gave me an open shot with a patch of my favorite sea spinach as a bonus. (Other images with sea spinach used as background color: yellowlegs, reddish egret)
It was an exceedingly windy day, so I can't help but think that the hoverfly was hanging onto the stamen of a day lily for a bit of protection.
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're all greatly appreciated. Have a great day!

Snowmen everywhere around the neighbourhood! People are getting quite creative these day, with so much time on their hands, due to Covid!
Sometimes it's difficult to find the cats these days. Tofu took refuge in the garden shed this morning when he heard thunder in the distance. It's not so much the thunder he hates but the rain which usually accompanies a thunderstorm. I on the other hand welcome every drop of rain at the moment.

THE SEEKER
I am in a house, I know it well, but I have never been there before. There is no light, just me. The halls are empty, it is without life, without the things to bring it to life, no pictures, no tables, no chairs. It is a bleak house, dark, shadows, and even the light that seeps through the cracks, is dark. In the middle of the room there is foreboding, it is under the floor. I feel my hair stand on end.
I look to the door, the door, into which one must never go.
I stand and know that I can't run, I can't hide, because the dark of the house, is outside too. And I know it's time to leave, but I find myself walking, walking toward the door, the door that I must never open, as it leads to the room, the room into which one must never go.
I am sweating, I want to call out, I am trying to scream, it's primal, but there is no sound, there is no voice. I am unable to call for help. I try to move my arms, but they are frozen.
I am though the door, the room that vibrates with fear, darkness - something is moving in the secret passage, the secret passage that lies beyond the room. It is a narrow corridor, and I am bending to walk into the passage, and it leads to a room above the house, in the attic, I feel the cold, it is icy, and I fear for my very soul - I feel the negative energy that seeping into my skin. I am trying to shout, trying to leave, trying to turn away, wanting to run. A shape emerges out of the wall, it comes to me, draining all the goodness from me, and I feel terrible fear and dread, I want to fight it, but I am helpless, I am powerless, I can't move, but I know now, I must face it, I must fight for my life, and every fibre in me is screaming - and I remember .
I have been here before, and it is always the same, when the presence comes I wake up screaming and sweating, my pulse is racing. I have been through this many times before, and I am shaking and quaking, but I realize - despite these confrontations - I do not wake up dead, just terrified, and I begin to feel that perhaps, perhaps, these is no danger here. I have spent nights telling myself before I fall asleep that if this dream comes to me again, meet fear with love.
Now I know I was dreaming. I am out of the icy house. I am awake, lying in my bed. I am calmer now, I try to move, but nothing happens. I can't move anything, but I can see my room, and I feel a rising panic, and I feel the icy cold. There is someone standing at the end of my bed, staring at me. I am trying to scream and move my arms, to wake up, nothing happens. I see him standing clearly in my room, he has followed me here .
Now I will need to fight, but I can’t move, and he can, what are the rules in this situation, I am powerless. It is terrifying. Move !, Move !, Run ! Nothing. Then I remember “Do not get angry, that gives it power”. I stop struggling, start to calm down. He isn’t moving or doing anything, he never has, he just stands there.
"Hi", I think to myself.
"Can you hear me" it says in a sweet peaceful voice.
Oh that's great, he isn't even hostile, he’s doing his best not to terrify me and here I am like a wild animal, scared of the unknown, that's just great. He has been coming to talk to me, to give me wisdom -but his presence has seemed so terrifying , that he can’t even talk to me. I guess he has been coming and waiting patiently for me to meet him with love, not anger and fear. Well this is embarrassing.
I didn't expect a dialog, and I am now wanting to wake up. It's not fear this time, this guy had a very calm and gentle voice, but James Bond just climbed through my window and I sensed things were only going to go downhill from here.
Note to self, you got to do something about the quality of your dreams - oh, and thanks for the lesson in love and fear.
PS - The next day, many, many years ago - we went swimming with friends in mountain pools. The river water in Africa is dark and you can’t even see your feet in the water. We swam across a large, deep pool. I jumped into a big pothole at the end of the pool. There was a waterfall crashing into one side of it and the sandy bottom felt soothing on my feet. No one else wanted to jump in, and I realized, I had forgotten to be scared. The dream sequence has never returned.
PPS – Lucid dreaming is common, and trying to wake up during a nightmare is too – the immobility comes from your body preventing you from sleepwalking in response to dream situations – so it can feel disturbing while dreaming, but it is a good self preservation mechanism that is there to protect you from real harm. So the fear is gone and I am happy to dream on. And I work with dreams and treat them as an active state. If something is bugging you, think about it before you sleep, it can help resolve while you are off to never, never land

The Seeker is a small crab fishing boat, based in Victoria, B.C.. It's two man crew regularly works the waters off Esquimalt Harbour and Lagoon. Every once in awhile, weather and light permitting, they provide a nice photo opportunity. I've posted several photos of the Seeker in the Album "Vessels".

"My loathings are simple: stupidity, oppression, crime, cruelty, soft music. My pleasures are the most intense known to man: writing and butterfly hunting."
Vladimir Nabokov
we are all seekers
and travelers
on this earth
and oftentimes
the going gets rough
for mile after mile
we climb
and dip
and wind
through the forests
of our lives
until darkness
begins to settle again
still we keep on
until we find
what we are looking for
until the sun no longer sets
and the darkness
is no more
then we begin again

the shelter is part of the "longest bench" on Littlehampton seafront... for a brief time the dark clouds echoed the shape of the shelter
This little squirrel seemed to be playing hide-and-seek! :-)) Hiding in an old stump and looking out of it, she did it with such incredible speed that this was the only photo I managed to take! 😊

One of my artworks from the Exhibition FRAGMENTS showed at our new Gallery THE EDGE
"Bifurcations! Bifurcations!
The events troubled me
I’ll never come back again
You know...tempus fugit...tempus fugit
Change! I need an A-Change!
Abandon the sterile paths
Seek the light! Seek the light!
You know...tempus fugit...tempus fugit
Go on! Go ahead!
Over all the miserable things
In the true reality
Jump the gun! Jump the gun!
You know...tempus fugit...tempus fugit"
