Thought I would take a trip to top-up the feeders this afternoon to make sure they had plenty of food after the weekend's Storm Ciara passed through. I was greeted by this beautiful youngster in the gloom.

«Nachtgedanken» ist eines der bekanntesten Gedichte des deutschen Schriftstellers Heinrich Heine (1792-1856), verfasst im Pariser Exil und als abschliessendes Gedicht im 1844 erschienen Band «Zeitgedichte» veröffentlicht.
Berühmt wurde vor allem der Eingangsvers:
Denk ich an Deutschland in der Nacht,
Dann bin ich um den Schlaf gebracht,
Ich kann nicht mehr die Augen schließen,
Und meine heißen Tränen fließen.

"Nachtgedanken" (Nocturnal thoughts) is one of the best-known poems by the German writer Heinrich Heine (1792-1856), written in exile in Paris and published as the final poem in the 1844 volume "Zeitgedichte" (Contemporary poems).
The opening verse in particular became famous:
If I think of Germany in the night,
Then I am deprived of sleep,
I can no longer close my eyes,
And my hot tears flow.
I'm going to the coast in the morning, sort of a mini vacation, so I thought I would leave you with something peaceful. I've been wanting to make this trip for some time and now it's finally here. I hope to come back with plenty of seagull, pelican and boat images..;) I won't be gone lone and I may be able to check in while I'm gone. Hopefully, I'll have to much to do..;)
“how is it that
he's always
in my thoughts.
even when
i am not
thinking.”

A little bog named Blutsee (Blood Lake) in the Irtenberger forest. The name stems from a type of algae that used to grow there and colored the wetland red.
The swamp is thought to have come about by fossilized pingo. From the 16th century onward, the region's meadows were used extensively. In Kleinrinderfeld's archives of 1812, the map shows a vast area of wet meadows. The 3.7 hectare (about 2.3 square miles) Blutsee (Bloodsee) got its name because of the growth of an algae named Euglena sanguinea that colors the water red. The growth of the algae has not increased in the past fifteen years. The area has been protected since 1996.

Thought it was about time I dusted the camera down and took a few shots! Hope everyone is well.
Taken recently at a local pond.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
We might just be unkind
But that's just how we're designed
You got me so fucked up
Think about you most of the time
Then I think about losing my mind
I wanna stop before we're caught
But don't stop
Don't stop
We're psychos forever
In diamonds and leather
We'll never get better
That's why I got these
Sick thoughts, sick thoughts
Sick thoughts, sick thoughts
Look what you've caused
You've got 'em too
Wanna know what's makin' you numb
Beautiful when the damage is done
You know me, I won't budge
I'm about to start taking what's mine
Then I'll think about losing my mind

I promised you for so long to do a picture for you. I´m so sorry that this took so long but I hope you like it. This whole piece made so much fun and challanged me in different ways.
“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
― C.G. Jung
We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.”
― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish

Never Thought - Dan Hill
Can I touch you?
I can't believe that you are real
How did I ever find you?
You are the dream that saved my life
You are the reason I survived
Baby...
I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I love you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
Someone as much as I need you
I love you...
Can I hold you?
Girl your smile lights up the sky
You are too beautiful for the human eye
You are the dream that never dies
You are the fire that burns inside
Baby...
I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I love you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
Someone as much as I need you
I love you...

Compton Acres Garden, Poole, Dorset
The gardens are situated at 164 Canford Cliffs, POOLE, Dorset, BH13 7ES. It is a privately owned garden, founded in 1920 by Thomas William Simpson. He was a business man whose wealth came from the production of Margarine.
From the 1920s – 1930s he began to create a series of enclosed gardens, seven in all, at the staggering cost of £220k. They were filled with sculptures and other architectural features.
The thought was, that even at an early stage of its construction that it was going to be a ‘tourist attraction’.
Unfortunately Mr Simpson died in 1944, this was followed by another death in the form of Mr. Middleton, the Head Gardener. These deaths plus the call-up of other staff lead to the gardens falling into disrepair. In 1950 the garden were sold to J. Stanley Beard a London architect who was responsible for a programme of restoration and by 1952 now complete, it was open to the public.
During that time new paths were laid, many other plantings were carried out. It changed hands again in 1964 but it still remained open. Since then the main house was sold as was part of the northern and southern boundary plus some of the woodland.
The garden now is divided between five smaller sub-gardens:
The Italian Garden: When you first see this garden from the end of the pond looking down to the Domed Temple it is spectacular. At the top end are two statues representing Wrestlers of Herculaneum. The pond itself is surrounded with brightly coloured planting and in the water are many water lilies and a fountain. To the left is the Italianate Villa with its brightly painted walls and statues on the roof and as you walk down the path other shrubs and manicured bushes. There are quite a few seats dotted around so that you can enjoy the experience.
The Wooded Valley: Here the woodland of Pine trees, where Rhododendrons and Camelias grow in some abundance. Winding footpaths and waterfalls along with other plants such as Ferns and Foxgloves make a wonderful setting.
Rock and Water Garden: There is a thought that Compton Acres has the largest rock garden in private hands in England. It consists of over 300 different plants which include alpines, conifers, spring and summer bulbs.
The Heather Garden: Here, there is a garden, again with many different species of Heather, some not easily grown in other gardens but the south coast has a much better climate enabling them to thrive. It is at its best in Spring, although it is still a very colourful space throughout the year.
The Japanese Garden: There is an odd shaped pool which is surrounded by Bamboos, Azelea and Maples. Wonderful colours, together with a collection of figures, lanterns, stone pagodas and a thatched Japanese-style summerhouse. This is covered in Wisteria in season. Many of the items were purchased in Japan, even the fish were exported under licence.
The garden covers 10 acres, it has many pieces of sculpture and architectural features scattered throughout the site. It also has a tea-room, a very important place which does nice tea and cake. What could be better after the experience of seeing the garden?
False Creek
Vancouver
British Columbia,
Canada
False Creek is a short inlet in the heart of Vancouver. It separates downtown from the rest of the city. It was named by George Henry Richards during his Hydrographic survey of 1856-63. George Richards named False Creek during his survey of the coast in the mid-19th century. While traveling along the south side of the Burrard Inlet, he thought he was traversing a creek; upon discovering his error, he gave the waterway its modern name. Wikipedia
Burrard Bridge (Background) Vancouver, BC CA
Opened: July 1st, 1932
The Burrard Bridge (also referred to as the Burrard Street Bridge) is a five-lane, Art Deco style, steel truss bridge constructed in 1930-1932 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The high, five part bridge on four piers spans False Creek, connecting downtown Vancouver with Kitsilano via connections to Burrard Street on both ends. It is one of three bridges crossing False Creek.
The architect of the Burrard Bridge was George Lister Thornton Sharp, the engineer John R. Grant. The bridge's two close approach spans are Warren trusses placed below deck level, while its central span is a Pratt truss placed above deck level to allow greater clearance height for ships passing underneath. The central truss is hidden when crossing the bridge in either direction by vertical extensions of the bridge's masonry piers into imposing concrete towers, connected by overhead galleries, which are embellished with architectural and sculptural details that create a torch-like entrance of pylons. Busts of Captain George Vancouver and Sir Harry Burrard-Neale in ship prows jut from the bridge’s superstructure (a V under Vancouver’s bust, a B under Burrard’s).
