“Street music is always good even it is bad, because actually there is only one melody over there: The melody of life struggle of a poor man!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan
Large flocks of Horned Larks huddled together on a freezing day with windchills in the -50s. If you zoom in you’ll see frost forming around their eyes.
A beautiful walk on the Replana (in the neighborhood of Castalla , Alicante, Spain) with great views.
First real rain is coming in the next days, the air feels different, smells different, the light isn't as bright and the sky seems to have a fight with itself.

*After quite a while without any of those problems, seems Firestorm didn't want to rezz all my objects and make some of them disappear, and I struggle with the settings in Black Dragon :(
I, like this sunrise trying to get out from the clouds, am on the struggle bus with getting out and shooting some photos.
A trip to Halibut Point State Park in early 2021 had me diving back into my archives. This was originally posted and removed, but reworked slightly in Lightroom for some shadow control.

A leaf from a briar appears to be trying to regenerate. I don't know much about plant biology but it's a colourful struggle.
Struggling at the moment......this was taken almost a year ago. They are slowly returning to Kidwelly quay but remaining quite distant.

Really struggled to think of something original and different for this theme on Crazy Tuesday. I tried a few different ideas but none of them seemed to work, especially not to my satisfaction.
Gave up for a while and decided, mid-afternoon to boil an egg as a snack as feeling a bit peckish and whilst the water was boiling away, the thought struck me that maybe there might be a suitable ‘motion blur’ shot in the pan, not just the egg!
I took some shots and, lo and behold I arrived at some images that might prove suitable, I thought. I chose this one and after a little cropping decided that it was different and in my mind, quite original. The water surface appears smoothed out, adopting an oily look and getting rid of the individual bubbles, small and big. In my mind it looks a bit like transparent lava in the mouth of a volcanic crater! I know, I have a weird brain!
See what you think!
It was nice to see some bats flitting around me as I walked down to the stream before sunrise this morning. I struggled to find strong images, but did quite like this one, taken as some of the trees started to be hit by the early sun.
Struggling along toward their end terminal in Channing, this 4 unit set of Milwaukee Road F's is going to make it one way or another having left Iron Mountain, Michigan not long ago - November 9, 1978.
Moved forward and renamed
The Ft Dodge to Waterloo local (L570) flying thru New Hardford, Iowa full of snow and with ditch lights out near sunset. They had just opened the main between Ft Dodge and Waterloo, and were the first train on this stretch of track since the overnight snowfall we had
Thanks to Scott Marsh for alerting me to this EB train. He got the same train at Sinclair, Ia a few miles West of me

I took a fair few images of seed heads today but nothing really struck me. I have a certain look in mind but I just can't pull it off …. yet!
So this is a kinda 'make do' shot for now :)
A group of poppies growing in the fields that form part of the Ham Hill Country Park.
I am struggling to keep up with both looking at my contact’s photographs, making comments and replying to the kind people who have commented on my work. So I will say, “thank you very much” to all of you here, and hope to start again, and perhaps catch up before too long.
Meanwhile I hope you stay well and enjoy your photography.
