Now that the days grow shorter and the night air has a new bite, it is time to bid farewell to my summer garden.

I was so incredibly sad to see this sim go and really wish I would have taken more photos here.
Mourning Doves (Zenaida macroura). This pair of love birds have been hanging around my property for the past four years. They use the Spanish moss hanging in my oak tree to build their nests.
They try nesting in some unusual places around my yard. Hanging planters are their favorites. Every spring they go through this ritual of affection for each other and then its off to forage for twigs and moss. Wonder where their nest will be this time?
This tree at the Quiraing on Skye must be one of the most photographed trees in Scotland. It's certainly very photogenic. So much so that it's hard not to take the classic shot. I did however head over to see if I could capture some nice clouds just before sunrise too.
The Chilean rose tarantula can be a pet here in US but I don't want it near me. (Best in Large)
Winter time is the appropriate time to post your pc vault photos. Too many photos there that I want to share with you.

I can only give you love that lasts forever,
And a promise to be near each time you call.
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone
That's all,
That's all...
I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall;
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter's night
That's all,
That's all...
There are those I am sure who have told you,
They would give you the world for a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you,
And a love time can never destroy.
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore,
For now and evermore
That's all,
That's all...
(Lyrics from Michael Buble - That's All)
You would think that with that long sharp bill, capable of splitting mussels with ease, that they would use their bills as weapons. However, they fight with their feet and not with that otherwise lethal beak. Limpkin skirmishes are almost always very brief and are more for show that actual combat. I have seen contact but, like in most cases, this one was all for show. I’d say it was over in one or two seconds. It’s difficult to say what they were fighting over, as there were many limpkins are food was in abundance. Possibly just guys getting on each other’s nerves.

Once upon a time, there was a girl who made a wish
To find herself a love and finally make a switch
Then you came around, you healed another stitch
And I'm glad about that, I can finally make the switch
And I know, yeah I know
Many would like to be in my shoes
And I know, yeah I know
With you, I got nothin’ to lose
When I’m down, you can bring me up
Up-p-p, up-p-p, up-p-p, up-p-p
And when I’m hurt, you know I don’t need much
You can use that magic touch
When I’m down, you can bring me up
Up-p-p, up-p-p, up-p-p, up-p-p
And when I’m hurt, you know I don’t need much
You can use that magic touch
You can use that magic touch
You can use that magic touch
I was running all the time, babe, you came and slowed me down
It’s me, myself and you now, I'm levitating off the ground
And when you came around, you healed another stitch
I was lost, but now you found me, I can finally make the switch
And I know, yeah I know
Many would like to be in my shoes
And I know, yeah I know
With you, I got nothin' to lose
When I’m down, you can bring me up
Up-p-p, up-p-p, up-p-p, up-p-p
And when I’m hurt, you know I don’t need much
You can use that magic touch
When I’m down, you can bring me up
Up-p-p, up-p-p, up-p-p, up-p-p
And when I’m hurt, you know I don’t need much
You can use that magic touch
You can use that magic touch
You can use that magic touch

My version of the classic "Lady and the Tramp"
The life of a dog and the dog owner (that is me):
The bigeye arrived at christmas time with just over twelve kilos and is now almost fifteen! I don't think he eats a lot, but he gets a lot of rest! He sleeps all afternoons and all night! It is very clean, he knows that here in the "mansion" there is no bathroom for him. He likes everyone who gets involved with him on the street, he makes a point of greeting all the other dogs and if they are “girls” he immediately falls in love!
Yesterday we found two “chic girls" that cost a thousand euros each, the owners went to get them from a breeder near Lisbon. They talked to me about their princesses, dressed in beautiful clothes full of bows. One of the couples had a daughter who was maybe six years old, she was delighted with “Matias” she lifted his paws to her shoulders to hug him, she thought he was cute. Her mother complained that she only liked big dogs and I told her to adopt one she liked. There were many dogs at the shelter where he came from!
I am happy with my little dog just eight months old . He forces me to go to bed early and wake up early, to exercise in the morning, sometimes we also go out in the afternoon and of course also at night before going to bed. He already knows the whole city up to some surroundings, he forced me to go where he wants, I had to buy rubber boots to walk in the fields because he chooses a bathroom in the middle of the vegetation.
Today it was foggy but we went to see the river and the small boats anchored under the bridge of the train.
This is my sweet dog, his name is"Matias", the name was not chosen by me, but for the volunteers that works in the shelter. :-)

Thank you for your visits comments and favs! :-)
That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.
Yes another shot of that lovely tree with Florence sitting in the hollow in late afternoon light.
Taken at the BWC.
It can happen at any moment when "that moment" happens.
Usually in my case I miss that moment....
On this occasion I was set up for a perspective shot beneath the L tracks when I saw "that girl" at the corner. She smiled as she waited for me to take my shot. With a smile in return I waved her across. Thank you.......
...you have to surrender.

They say that Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.
If true or not it doesn't matter because all of this is what I wish to you, dear Flickr friends, in the beginning of one more week, a very special week in some parts of the world ;)

"I take the night train, I take an airplane
'Cause you belong to me
I just wanna say, ain't gonna let you getaway
'Cause you belong to me.
I only wanna ho-o-old you
I just wanna ho-o-old you
C'mon let me ho-o-old you, tonight.
You say ain't leaving, I can't help dreaming
You belong to me
I take the highway, I take the low way
Don't you belong to me.
I only wanna ho-o-old you
I just wanna ho-o-old you
C'mon let me ho-o-old you, tonight.
C'mon
End up drinking, get's me thinking
You belong to me
While you're out there, remember I'm right here
And you belong to me.
I only wanna ho-o-old you,
I just wanna ho-o-old you
C'mon let me ho-o-old you
C'mon let me ho-o-old you
Tonight"

The church that stands today was completed in 1717. This church was built on the rubble of the 1625 church destroyed in the Pueblo Indian Revolt.
If you read
what this April
rain writes
on gold leaves
in transparent ink,
a blurring script
of how what falls
through air
from nowhere
and shimmers,
for the moment,
a book of days
of unsayable
syllables, lovely,
nevertheless,
bejeweled,
reflective
of late light
along the deckle
edge, dissolving,
running off, falling
again, as all brief
infatuations do
into silence,
perhaps, in time
bittersweet memory,
then you know
the feeling.
--Miguel de O
I took a drive through rural Indiana yesterday. I've driven most of the roads plenty of times before but still find something new to photograph each time. Also sad to see a few old places have disappeared or are quickly disappearing, but more on that later.
This old house stands in the shadows of the surrounding trees. Vines typically cover the walls making it blend in with the surrounding landscape. However on this rather cool day in early spring, you can see this house and all of its glory.
