I woke up this morning and saw on my phone that it was a little cooler, and seemingly only for today, so of course I had to take advantage of that and go out for a run/walk! Other than one time in April and the mile I ran on the treadmill at Dragon Con, it was my first time out since March. I’ll probably be sore and exhausted (I already feel it starting 😅) but during the actual run I felt really good! I didn’t push it too hard and walked a lot, but I was able to only nasal breathe for inhales and keep my HR in a decent range. I also felt like I was running with more power from my core and glutes so I felt more stable. Hopefully all this wasn’t just from having a super long break 😂 It would be nice if there’s actual improvement in my strength, endurance, and overall health! 😊 ALSO I got to see a mama bunny and her little bun bun babies on the trail!!!!! 🐰 And now you do too 😊 #Running #MinimalistRunning #Bunnies #Rabbits via Instagram instagr.am/p/CUaNuY8LlW1/
A seemingly idyllic spot to relax, at the point where challengers to the fort faced the choice between being picked off by gunfire as they attempted to reach the top of the wall, or being surely killed in the crossfire in the moat below.

An old, magnificent cathedral, "simplified", re-muddled, and modernized (after Vatican II), is arsoned in 2005 (or so) and is now left to stand, forgotten (or seemingly so), an empty shell of it's former glory. Is this deliberate?
Seemingly very much out-of-place for the auto show, an unrestored Ford truck from some time in the 1940's. I initially thought this was an International Harvester, but in the chrome line on the front of the hood you can see "Ford."
2 seemingly innocent green meanies enjoying the sun. On the left with claw like leaves, barenklauw (bear claw or giant hogweed) & on the right, with the elegant 'inverted teardrop shaped leaves, stinging nettles. Don't even think about walking through these guys. Ok the stinging nettles will stop stinging in a few hours and leave no scars, but the sap of giant hogweed is phototoxic: when the sap is exposed to sunlight or to ultraviolet rays, it can causes severe burns on skin, resulting in blisters and long-lasting scars, and if it comes in contact with eyes, can cause blindness. ...And these are just common weeds here. They are growing beside a park path.
By forces seemingly antagonistic and destructive
Nature accomplishes her beneficiant designs
- now a flood of fire
...again in the fullness of time an outburst of organic life.

To all parties left, right and in between: A sober message through song:
This is the Last Stop - The Dave Mattews Band from the album Before These Crowded Streets:
Fire
The Sun is well asleep
Moon is high above
Fire grows from the east
How is this
Hate so deep
Lead us all so blindly killing killing
Fools we are if hate’s the gate to peace
This is the stop
For raining tears
(Is) War
The only way to peace
(Well) I don’t fall for that
Raining Tears
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead, believe that you are the chosen one
Raining tears
You’re righteous, so righteous
You’re always so right,
Oh no
Gracious even God
Bloodied the cross
Your sins are washed enough
Mothers cry
“Is hate so deep
Must a baby’s bones this hungry fire feed?”
As smoke clouds roll in
The symphony of death
This is the last stop
Scream
Right is wrong now
Shut up you big lie
This black and White lie
You comb your hair to hide
Your lying eyes
You’re righteous, so righteous
You’re always so right,
But why your lie
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead, believe that you are the chosen one
This is the last stop
Here there’s more than is showing up
Hope that we can break it down
So it’s not so black and white
You’re righteous
You’re righteous
You’re righteous
You’re always so right,
There you are nailing a good tree
Then say forgive me, forgive me
Why
Raining tears
This is the last stop
Here there’s more than is showing up
Hope that we can break it down
So it’s not so black and white.

Seemingly tropical plants in "Tres de Febrero" park.
Plantas parecidas tropicales en parque Tres de Febrero.
I agonised over the identification again. A seemingly-plain-brown bird - roughly robin-sized. For a while I thought maybe it was a nightingale, but that didn't seem right. Then I realised - it's probably a female blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla). There were males in this same patch of willows, and if you look carefully, her head is richer brown than the rest of her body - which is what female blackcaps look like. However, as noted below, it turns out this is a juvenile, of indeterminate sex. Anyway, I was so lucky to be watching this tree when it stopped for a few seconds in the perfect position, close by and unobscured. The stuff bird photographers dream of!

The seemingly amazing guy I've been dating broke it off with me today. This was the first time in ages that I really allowed myself to have hope and think that there was true potential with someone. I wasn't expecting to hear that I had been used, lied to, and led on. I'm just going to be sad for awhile, I think.
Seemingly a simple panned shot capturing the life on the streets of Hanoi – but I was drawn to the elegance of this lady cyclist. As a regular means of transportation in this town (although times are changing with every visit and bikes and scooters make way for luxurious 4x4s or limousines) I imagined this lady could be on her way to anywhere, like an urban commuter back at home in England, except: no lycra outfit, no helmet, or even gears on this bike. This lady’s elegant posture, her styled hair, the chic messenger bag across her body and her entire demeanour make you want to hear her story.
Seemingly unrelated, the sextant, earthquakes, and port gave rise to what we now know as Portugal. In short, the invention of the sextant jump started the “age of discovery” and Portugal’s conquest of Brasil, Spain, Madagascar, Macau and others. Barrels of wine enticed sailors to endure the stench of life abroad. To keep the wine from fermenting into vinegar, brandy and cherries were added and thereby unwittingly creating port. England’s thirst literally fortified Portugal’s economy in the 18th century.
From the 2000 flamingos that winter in the Rio Formosa to the Moorish, Romans and Celtic, Portugal has a history of migrations.
This history is what shapes Portugal’s architecture, language and cuisine abound. For example, centuries of Roman influence account for the number of words that begin with “Al”, the word Arabic sounds like “a rabbit”.
In the Algarve Moorish mosques became Catholic monasteries and are now train depots, police stations, and other public facilities. Castles of various dictators are tourists attractions.

The interior is a delight, seemingly unrestored, long and low with a plastered ceiling to the nave, a strange almost featureless chancel arch and a fine C15 panelled wagon roof to the chancel having carved wall plates with fleurons, ribs and bosses (although most of these restored). The clue was the small windows at the west end of the nave for a west gallery, although the present one seems to be more of a reinstatement of what was once here rather than original C17 work which the listing information says (and Pevsner offers early C19). It is accessed by a pull down ladder on small wheels, and you can closely inspect the Royal Arms dated 1792. Much of the woodwork is C17, there is extra seating available by pulling out sliding benches. Painted texts on the wall too, including one "The aged women...... shall teach the young women to be sober, to be chaste, keepers at home, to love their husbands." The north transept is subdivided and has a glazed screen to the two sections beyond (locked). The only jarring features, clearly seen in my view, the electronic sixties/seventies-styled organ behind the C13 font and the prominently displayed fire extinguisher! The village stocks are preserved in the porch, presumably for among others those young women who did not heed the advice inside!
This seemingly innocent and candid shot actually required some extensive discussions beforehand to assure my son that he would not be attacked and killed by the freshwater "lobster". Note how he instinctively protects his vital organs with his free hand while at the same time moves all uneccessary digits from harms way on the left hand. His mouth is smiling but his eyes are saying "Hurry, TAKE THE SHOT"
Seemingly random arrangement of dots on white cardboard evokes comparison with dice.

A seemingly recently de-named GBRF 66728 rolls through Retford with a SouthEastern Class 465 'Networker' in tow, running as 5Q89 11:29 Slade Green T&RSMD to Doncaster Works, presumably for overhaul. These runs used to be a regular occurrence, however they seemed to vanish for a long while only to re-appear again recently.

Seemingly empty streets of Pioneer Square, Seattle, the oldest part of the city, in the early morning. Very vibrant part of the city during the day, filled with tourists, gets “taken over” by the homeless people at night who roam the streets. Many shelters accept people on a first-come, first-serve basis. Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission Men’s Shelter is one of those places, where people are served three meals a day and offered a place to sleep if they “make it” on time.
The room is small (I asked for small) but really, really wonderful. Well worth the seemingly exorbitant price!
Seemingly devoid of any maker's marks, an Ashok Leyland bus of the National Transport Corporation heads north along the M2.

This seemingly quiet country path is actually in downtown Chicago on the Chicago River, just east of Michigan Avenue, with high-rises all around. Strolling the length of the Riverwalk can be a lovely momentary getaway for city dwellers who need everything to slow down for a minute.

Seemingly emerging from a jungle of weeds, DB class 66 66014 is seen coming off the Princes Risborough branch at Aylesbury with a loaded aggregate working from Tytherington Quarry to Calvert on 26th August 2021

Seemingly unconcerned about what is going on behind him, this Pondo man, armed with shield, spear and fighting stick, sits looking dreamingly ahead, no doubt thinking of the days when his fore-bearers were warriors
Seemingly you are supposed to "melt" the caramel in the wafer by putting it on top of the coffee mug for a few minutes before hand.
Unfortunately, not only did we not know that - but we didn't even have coffee!
