We all go about doing what we think is best, what’s the most important, what will get us ahead. That’s not always true; external forces come along and change things in a fleeting moment, and what was once normal is no longer. All we can do is adapt, and adapt we shall.

These sentiments evoke one of my all-time favourite songs by Pink Floyd—Eclipse:

All that you touch and all that you see

All that you taste, all you feel

And all that you love and all that you hate

All you distrust, all you save

And all that you give and all that you deal

And all that you buy, beg, borrow, or steal

And all you create and all you destroy

And all that you do and all that you say

And all that you eat and everyone you meet (Everyone you meet)

And all that you slight and everyone you fight

And all that is now and all that is gone

And all that’s to come and everything under the sun is in tune

But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

Roger Waters

Photo of the day, July 15, 2021 - The crepe myrtle that my wife and I have in our yard.

None of my images have any Ai work. They are what the camera has seen...

After my wife left for work, I snapped a few pictures of the wooded area in our neighborhood.

The top of this broken tree is hollow. She was looking up at the male above her & quacking, I assume wanting him to come and look. I watched them check out a lot of different tree cavities.

Tree Swallow enjoying some quiet time

My wife and I decided to visit Luther Britt Park this afternoon. I snapped this image while walking alongside one of the ponds on the property.

My wife and I have a neighbor whose dogwood tree is blooming. I snapped a few pictures of the tree from the side of the street this evening.

I believe this is a youngster calling for a parent to come with food. Very loud, followed the sound and found it.

Lots of contrails in the sky this morning. Taken from the yard at the property my wife and I own.

Beautiful sky above the property my wife and I own.

I could not resist just one more shot of Papa looking fierce in profile. He was keeping an eye on everything going on in his territory.

Palm tree branch

He was very busy digging insects out of the decaying wood. Eating what he found so fast I never had a chance to see anything. Could be ants, could be insect larvae or little beetles.

Last bit of daylight on the property where my wife and I reside.

Bird meeting

As my wife and I returned home from work, I snapped this picture of the sun setting.

In the neighborhood where my wife and I live there is a dead end. There is a truck driver who often parks his truck in a wooded area where the dead end and grass meet. Since he parks here at the end of his work day and it's a dead end, it seemed appropriate for end of line. #EndOfLine #flickrfriday

I'm very excited about some of the photos I took today at La Fete des Neiges. This is a taste of some of the images I'll be uploading in the coming days. Just so you know, there is absolutely no photoshopping on this.

Don't you just love it when you inspire other people to see the world around you as you do? As I was turning my camera to the sky to shoot these pictures, other people were encouraged to look up and see what I was looking at. Eyes suddenly weren't only studying the feet. Suddenly people who had only brought along their camera to get photos of their kids playing in the snow were taking photos of the beauties of nature.

Looks lonely up there.
