Friends are therapists you can drink with... and our friendship is built on a solid foundation of sarcasm, inappropriateness and shenanigans😄
Side by Side is a picture of North America's two cranes. The one in from the Whooping and in one in back the Sandhill. You can often find them together in the same groups. Lovely birds.
The wrong side of the tracks; a poor or less prestigious part of town.
The expression, American in origin, comes from the idea of a town divided by a rail-road track.
In 1929 , Thorne Smith wrote ‘In most commuting towns…there are always two sides of which the tracks serve as a line of demarcation. There is the right side and the wrong side. Translated into terms of modern American idealism, this means, the rich side and the side that hopes to be rich.’
.... stepping into real life- finding things old and interesting.. finding things side by side- alone in the most dirt paved places.... there you will find me when I need to get away.
This is the North Side (or Northside) of Pittsburgh, formerly Allegheny City.
Single shot "panorama" made with a really wide angle lens.
If you spend a few daytime hours in the Fraser or Thompson Canyons, you are certain to see a train or two. In the evening though, especially after a day of heavy maintenance windows for both railroads, you are in for a parade like no other place in railroading. On this cold January evening, from 16:00 through 22:05 I photographed 22 trains, and missed a few more moving between locations. The backlog of trains seemed to never end, and emboldened me to try some angles that would take advantage of the potential of trains passing on both sides of the Thompson Canyon during my exposures.
Above, eastbound CP hotshot intermodal #112 glides by on the far side of the river approaching Toketic. In the foreground, the rear DPU of one of the days many CN C731 loaded coal trains snakes westward towards the former west switch of Martel siding.
The ashy mining bee or grey mining bee, Andrena cineraria, is a European species of the sand bee genus. Its distinctive colouring makes it one of the most easily recognised of the genus. The females are black, with two broad grey hair bands across the thorax.

This is the back side view of Alcatraz. It is not the familiar fview from San Francisco. The boat landing is at water level, the guard barracks are in the middle level and the cell block is at the top. We came to see an art installation by Ai Weiwei and take the tour.
It's all empty country around here, not a human in sight. I feel as if life, right here, in this spot, has been the same, decade after decade, with the exception of this hick-country road, I guess! It just gives me that sensation of being the only human on this planet. The sensation is even more intense if you lay down in the grass or, for that matter, right on this here road, just lay down, close your eyes and tune into the nature of this place. You will be totally amazed, a virtual Eco-system, all around me. I am drowning, in this particular spot...
If there is such a thing as The Law of Nature, the Universe, there has to be such a thing as the Law of Humanity, you know, considering life as it exists. People live and die and it has to mean something. It is not like it doesn't matter, that there is no significance to being born and to die.
While I lay down here listening to nature, all this was indeed created by a unique intelligent individual who also created me, created humanity and in His image. Wow!
The very fact that God created us in His image and gave us the ability to think, feel, and act, I believe, therefore, that human relationships must concern us, whether we like it or not, don't you think? In Matthew 9:35-38, God gives a vivid description of struggling humanity. Humanity has been making excuses from the beginning, but God does not let us off the hook that easy. He knows our hearts and reads our motives. We are responsible for our ignorance that fails to see human need! The need of this world is like an open book, so to me, there is no excuse for ignorance! If we are insensitive to the cries of our fellowman then there must be heart trouble on our part!
Furthermore, for those of us who read or study scripture, our accountability to others is a repeated theme throughout the Bible. Jesus talks about a day of reckoning when He describes the Son of Man coming in all His glory, and setting up His throne of judgment, commending the faithful and condemning those who had failed their duty
When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
( Matt. 25:34-46).
It is getting late and I have to get home before it gets dark but my last word my friends is: Which will you be, the sheep or the goats?
Oh maybe, one last word... to finalize my thoughts... The goats fared poorly as during their time on this planet they overlooked, or ignored someone in need. So God herded those goats to their eternal doom while the good sheep, well he prodded them on to their eternal reward... Yea!

Chestnut-sided warbler, near Rondeau Provincial Park, May 17, 2023.
Setophaga pensylvanica.
The Chestnut-sided Warbler sings two basic songs: one is accented at the end (the pleased-to-meetcha song), and the other is not. Males sing the accented songs primarily to attract a female; once nesting is well underway they switch over to the unaccented songs, which are used mostly in territory defense and aggressive encounters with other males. Some males sing only unaccented songs, and they are less successful at securing mates than males that sing both songs.

Das heutige East Side Hotel war vor der Wende eine Halbruine, aus der die DDR-Grenzschützer in den Westen spähten.
Wir haben das Gebäude in Schwarz-weiß umgewandelt, weil wir das so aus Mauertagen in Erinnerung haben: Vorne alles bunt, bemalt und besprüht, die Gebäude dahinter grau.

I was still sitting by "The tree" when this masked shrike turned up. I was very pleased as these had eluded me in Greece and Cyprus on previous holidays. Another life tick.
- for SOOC Sunday -
taken on a sunday. straight out of the camera. (well, just a little cropped :0)
this is one completely unremarkable shot. but i can't help but love it. i also can't help but think of this Joni Mitchell song (and sing a little) whenever i look at the sky...
rows and flows of angel hair
and ice cream castles in the air
and feather canyons everywhere
i've looked at clouds that way
but now they only block the sun
they rain and snow on everyone
so many things I would have done
but clouds got in my way
i've looked at clouds from both sides now
from up and down, and still somehow
it's cloud illusions I recall
i really don't know clouds at all...
{both sides, now. joni mitchell}
Meerkat (Suricata suricata)
Spring 2020 - Miami, Florida U.S.A.
While the family is out foraging, one or more meerkats will
take on 'the duty' to keep an eye out for predators. If danger
is spotted, 'the sentinel' will alarm the group with a distinctive
bark so that the others can hide in their burrows.
