If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man
You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me
The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you
Double up or quit, double stake or split
The Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades
You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools
But that's the way I like it, baby, I don't wanna live forever
And don't forget the joker!
Pushing up the ante, I know you got to see me
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be
The Ace of Spades

Siberian Husky at the stake-out before the race : Plateau de Retord, Cuvéry, Ain, France.
The Siberian Husky is a beautiful dog breed with a thick coat that comes in a multitude of colors and markings. Their blue or multi-colored eyes and striking facial masks only add to the appeal of this breed, which was originally developed by the Chukchi people of the Chukchi Peninsula in eastern Siberia. In their language, husky means "hoarse", characteristic of the dog's barking.
In general, in competitions, the Siberian Husky, faster than other breeds, compete in a separate category.
I'll show you I am capable of causing such pain
With my delicate and fragile lady brain
I will not let you get away
I'd rather burn at the stake
It's not often I see a dragonfly in my garden, so I was delighted when I saw this one resting on a stake. I hurried away to get my camera and was pleased to see it had not flown away. I took shots at a distance and eventually held my camera very close to my subject. Five minutes of quality time for a beautiful series of shots; life is good.

Trying to escape the heat, I took a half hour drive up into the hills to a year round recreation area. Full of trails but otherwise undeveloped, it's a lovely area of near wilderness.
In the winter it has snowshoeing and cross-country trails. In the summer there are hiking and biking trails. And, yes, it seemed cooler there.
House Wren very noisily staking his territorial claim around the nesting box. Both my small bird nesting boxes are now occupied by house wrens who very aggressively defend them.
Unfortunately, since the arrival of the house wrens chasing other small birds away from the nesting boxes, species such as chickadees, tufted titmouse and even carolina wrens seem to be visiting my yard, in Chester County, PA, much less frequently.

This Gannet was staking a claim to this prime nesting location at Bempton Cliffs earlier today. It left occasionally to collect nesting material but in it's absence other Gannets would help themselves to the materials it had already collected!
Under it's left wing you can just make out some blue plastic material. Plastic will, sadly, continue to make up a considerable part of the nests of sea birds unless and until we get a grip of this man-made crisis.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
Teddy is all about forbidden spaces. We keep him out of bedrooms as he tends to be a little thief, but he never misses an opportunity when presented. We’ve been redecorating a small bedroom and there is absolutely nothing in it of interest to Teddy. But this morning I opened the door for just a second - and got this….Looking seriously pleased with himself. He posed all over the room
I've been away as my little town was evacuated due to wildfires - just got back - strange experience.
A firefighters prayer and motto goes like “when I am called to duty, god wherever flames may rage, give me the strength to save a life, whatever be its age.”
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace.....

THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISITS, COMMENTS, AWARDS AND FOR ANY INVITES.
As the fair weather continues, I thought it would be a good opportunity to practise some focus stacking techniques. This is one of the more simple ones that I did but I liked the composition enough to share the image. I am blending manually and this can be a pain-staking and lengthy process but I really do think that the rewards are worth the effort. There are still mistakes in focus points in all of the images I took yesterday but ultimately, I feel I managed to conceal these well for the most part. This image was taken on the coastline of Portknockie in Morayshire, Scotland.
I'm assuming these wooden stakes have put on the beach at Holme-by-Sea in Norfolk to stop erosion of the beach.

Liberty Harbor, Brunswick, GA
We pushed through some densely overgrown scrub to reach the remains of the old liberty ship piers in Brunswick, GA. Still up for new adventures, nothing makes this old girl happier than laying claim to new territory.
"The natural harbor of Brunswick, located 70 miles south of Savannah, had a long maritime history before the outbreak of World War II. Located at the confluence of three rivers, the harbor was used as an exportation port for goods such as cotton and rice. When the Emergency Shipbuilding Program was announced by President Franklin Roosevelt in January of 1941, Brunswick was one of sixteen ports chosen to construct cargo vessels that would aid Allied forces in Europe. After the U.S. declared war, these cargo vessels, called “Liberty Ships,” were churned out at incredible speed. The 16,000 workers at the Brunswick shipyards built 99 ships, 85 of them Liberty Ships, from 1941-1945. They were capable of hauling thousands of tons of cargo across the Atlantic Ocean."
