This stylized build of the Grand Canyon is part of a RebelLUG collab to showcase different national parks. I chose the Grand Canyon because of its iconic status and distinct appearance. I tried to use as many earth-toned wedge plates as I can to create the patterns of the sedimentary layers.
This young male ruby throated hummingbird perched on this Canna plant for just a short while, taking a break on a very hot day. Surrounded by sunflowers and beautiful cosmos, this scene was truly lovely!

This is the oldest British flyable aircraft.
Built in 1912 by Robert Blackburn, it is the only one of this model constructed.
If you look very carefully, you can just see the engine cylinders, below the propeller shaft, which rotate around the crankshaft in the opposite direction to the propeller, as this is a rotary engine (not to be confused with a radial engine.)
Turns are aided by warping or twisting the wings via cables. Wing warping was invented and patented by the Wright Brothers, who vigorously defended their patents - it is likely that Wilbur, in particular, spent more time in court than he ever spent in the air.
Despite its fragile appearance, the Blackburn type D was capable of 60mph and a flight duration of more than 2 hours.
The aircraft was damaged in a landing accident in 1914 and later purchased by Richard Shuttleworth. It was restored to flight in 1947 and can be seen on calm days flying at The Shuttleworth Collection's base of Old Warden.
This weekend has been rather chilly and windy, with that wind making it feel almost cold at times! This "cold snap" in our weather has made for some great bird watching - good for us, perhaps not so much for the birds.
My biggest surprise came this morning. I glanced out the kitchen window and saw a hummingbird at the feeder! We normally don't see hummers at the feeders until June, but a few weeks ago I was told the hummingbirds were back, so I put out some fresh nectar, thinking no way were they going to show up this early.
Knowing the nectar was now old, as soon as the hummer left I put out fresh nectar, and a female showed up within the hour. So, I grabbed my camera and waited patiently, hoping one would show back up again... and it finally did!
*** Checking my archives, this is the earliest we've ever seen a hummingbird at the feeder! I'm sure the chilly weather had something to do with it. And, even better, today is Easter, so this is officially my Easter Hummer!
This inquisitive Fuscous Honeyeater (Ptilotula fusca) came down to see me for a brief moment on a recent trip to central Victoria, Australia.
This is what happens when I try to take a shortcut home to make it in time for dinner and end up choosing the least safe route. Sammy and I almost became dinner ourselves!

This beautiful bird winters here. It is easily seen in the snowy weather today. It’s vibrant red colouring contrasts vividly with the white of our Canadian winter.
This was taken on the day the mountain pelted me with hail and monsoon rain all the way back down. One would think I would have looked at the sky in this and left then, but no..... :-) Reflection Lake, Mount Rainier National Park. Washington State, USA.
Spring is around the corner, and the birds were enjoying the beautiful sunrise on the rooftops in Aberdeen this morning.
This Christmas bauble was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. In usually make these baubles for others as gifts, but on occasion I make one or two baubles for myself. This is one such bauble.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 20th of December is "sequins", so I thought I would show you this special bauble I chose to make for myself. If you would like to see the other baubles I have made as gifts for friends over the years, you can find them in this album: www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/albums/72157649901152375/. I hope you like my choice of subject for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!
As this is the last "Looking Close on Friday" before Christmas, I should just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone in the group a very happy Festive Season. May it be filled with happiness and joy for you all.
Each bauble I make is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. Most sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, except the large star sequins which are 10mm, the sunburst sequins which are 12 mm and the small gold border sequins which are 2mm and very, very fiddly. The sunburst sequins are French and are known as "éclate de soleil" - "sunbursts". Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, however because it is a complex pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.
This gander wanted to see if I had any kind of treat... other than a quick camera shot or sassy word.. lol
This was meant to be just a recce as I favour a good sunset (ok we don't seem to get those atm) but the walk from where you park the car is longer then I expected especially when I've been suffering from a bit of a Lyme flare up this week. However for me poppies are enough of a motivation to shake off any aches and pains!!
The light and shadows I think were enough for me to come away with a couple of shots that weren't completely flat but I do favour that golden light
I hope to return before they go over! And summer where are you?

The mongoose lemur lives in dry forests on the island of Madagascar and in the humid forests on the islands of the Comoros. This makes the mongoose lemur one of only two lemurs found outside of Madagascar, though it is an introduced species in the Comoros.
They have declined sharply in numbers because of habitat destruction and hunting, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated their conservation status as "critically endangered".

Avec sa courbe spectaculaire et sa structure typique des années 20, ce magnifique escalier patrimonial situé au Printemps Haussmann qui répondent aux lignes rationnelles de l’Art déco
Il est né en pleines Années Folles, entre 1922 et 1924 sous la direction de l’architecte Georges Wybo
Il a été érigé 60 ans après la création du Grand Magasin à la suite des incendies des Nouveaux Magasins Printemps Haussmann de 1921
Après une restauration minutieuse, faisant suite à une fermeture de près de 40 ans, il retrouve un rôle d’honneur au Printemps Haussmann,
C’est la seule structure du Printemps Haussmann en béton armé.
Elle est unique dans le magasin et offre une grande légèreté grâce à la succession de miroirs le long des murs latéraux.
L'escalier flottant : Il se caractérise par l'absence de points d'appui visibles. Les rampes sont délimitées par des ferronneries aux motifs géométriques courant au centre de la cage.
La rambarde en forme de P : Cette caractéristique souligne l'attachement du Printemps à son identité et s'inscrit dans une approche moderne de la mise en valeur
With its spectacular curve and its typical structure of the 20s, this magnificent heritage staircase located at Printemps Haussmann that responds to the rational lines of Art Deco It was born in the middle of the Roaring Twenties, between 1922 and 1924 under the direction of the architect Georges Wybo It was erected 60 years after the creation of the Department Store following the fires of the New Printemps Haussmann Stores in 1921 After a meticulous restoration, following a closure of nearly 40 years, it returns to an honorary role at the Printemps Haussmann, It is the only structure of the Printemps Haussmann in reinforced concrete. It is unique in the store and offers great lightness thanks to the succession of mirrors along the side walls.
The floating staircase: It is characterized by the absence of visible support points. The ramps are delimited by metalwork with geometric patterns running through the centre of the cage.
The P-shaped railing: This feature underlines Printemps' attachment to its identity and is part of a modern approach to showcasing its heritage
This is as much of the sunset we saw from Mynydd Gelliwastad last evening as we turned around and drove home. Taken in the same spot as in my previous upload.

This is a continuation of the "Project" I started last year.
This year I will post a Pic a day.
This year will be B/W Year.
So that is 365 B/W Snaps to get through......I nearly have to feel sorry for you.......haha

I'm that kind of Guy........!!!!!!!!!! haha
This will allow me to devote a bit more time to on going projects, but if I see an opportunity to post something new, different, maybe even Interesting I will do so!!!!!!
Then again I might just sit around and drink some Red Wine and to hell with it!!.....hahaha
Title for this year was lifted from the Byrds song, lyrics by Pete Seeger and not at all inspired in any way from the Book of Ecclesiastes.
This was a surprisingly beautiful alpine lake in the Italian Dolomites. It ended up being my favorite lake that we visited in Italy as it was not one of the overly hyped lakes as some of the others are, but instead it was a pleasant a peaceful surprise. The low clouds added a little extra drama to the scene and there was at times some sun that would shine on the lake surface. This particular spot was where a little shallow stream came off of the lake and it created a near perfect reflection on the shallow water. I am so thankful that even amidst such chaos and unrest that is going on in our world right now, that God still creates and gives us these places of rest and that He is our refuge in time of trial and hardship!
This little fella always took the seeds from feeder and ate it on this spot on the tree every time lovely bird..

This beautiful sweet apple and brown sugar challah recipe was absolutely delicious.
Here's the recipe and video:

Edited in Apple's Photos to tone down the highlights in the windows, then in Photos Filters for the painting effect, and finally in Snapheal to remove unwanted elements and for further enhancements of exposure, brightness, saturation, tone, and hue. Snapheal is very powerful.

This sculpture is located on a footbridge over which you enter the town of Bietigheim and I suppose it symbolizes a town gate. I mainly took this photo because we had a moment of sunshine and blue sky, which is an extremely rare event these days. The lovely sunshine didn't last long but I was happy I had been out and about early enough to enjoy it.
This pair of Magpie were hoping to make the sheep move to get to the soft ground for worms etc.

This is Long Ash Leat at Four Winds, near Merrivale on Dartmoor. A leat is a man-made watercourse or stream designed to move water naturally, following the contours of the ground, to wherever it is required, whether that is a farm, a quarry, a mine or other industry. The early leats which date back to medieval times were in effect a power supply for the tin-mining industry. It is thought that the dozens of leats on Dartmoor add up to several hundred miles.
One branch of the Long Ash Leat, which is on the western side of Dartmoor, fed water to Long Ash Pits, which were possibly medieval or earlier tin workings where tinners collected alluvial deposits along stream beds.
On the left of the picture is King's Tor, which is 1,246 feet (380 metres) above sea level.

Devil came to me
And he said: I Know what you need
Devil came to me
And he said you just follow me
This is the end but I'm not surprised
You will burn in hell
Do you know why?
Devil came to me
And he said: I Know what you need
Devil came to me
And he said: you belong to me
This is the end but I'm not surprised
You will burn in hell
Do you know why?

I lied for you, I lied for you

This part of Bodmin Moor, near Minions, a few miles north of Liskeard, has the remains of three neolithic stone circles known as The Hurlers, as well as several individual standing stones such as the one pictured. They are thought to date from around 1500 BC. Although there have been many theories, no-one knows for certain what their purpose was.
Tin and copper mining took place throughout this area until early in the 20th century, and many of the engine houses and other remains can still be seen. The engine house in the distance housed a 50-inch pumping engine, installed in the 1880s. The mine shaft it served reached 720 feet and was part of the South Phoenix Mine. The engine house is now a visitor centre.
