Taken at Ayn Sokhna (literally "hot eye" in English), a resort where a warm stream enters the Red Sea in Egypt. You'd never know from this photo that my son was terrified of the ocean.

European Robin (Erithacus rubecula).
This wild robin is incredibly trusting. He seems quite content to pose for photographs, singing away to himself on a fence post - provided I serve up a mealworm every few minutes.
If only all birds were so cooperative!

I truly do know the best people on the planet.
(A random get-happy package from one of said people.)
I was very lucky with the weather. I visited four National Trust properties today. Some smaller details to follow ...
In ancient times, back in my town there was a myth that if you draw a circle around you, the paranormal forces wouldn’t be able to harm you. The village was remote, population was sparse and travelling mode was by foot or using animals. So, this myth helped the solitary travellers keep moving during lone nights of burning summer.
Indeed, there is wall, a boundary that protects us from all cruelties of world and nurtures our soul; home and our family. Family isn’t a mere relationship between a group of fellows living together. It’s a bond of hearts and connection between souls. It’s not about sharing space or food but falling in lifelong selfless love and building unshakable trust.
Family is happiness.. discover it (if you haven't yet)!
Erddig Hall is a National Trust property on the outskirts of Wrexham, Wales. Located 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Wrexham town centre, it was built in 1684–1687 for Josiah Edisbury, the High Sheriff of Denbighshire; it was designed in 1683 by Thomas Webb a freemason of Middlewich, Cheshire. Erddig is one of the country's finest stately homes. In 2003, it was voted by readers of the Radio Times and viewers of the Channel 5 television series "Britain's Finest Stately Homes" as "Britain's second finest". In September 2007 it was voted the UK's "favourite Historic House" and the "8th most popular historic site" in the UK by Britain's Best. It is a Grade I listed building.
The building was sold to the master of the Chancery, John Meller in 1714. John Meller refurbished and enlarged the house (including adding two wings in the 1720s), and, on his death in 1733 unmarried and childless, passed it to his nephew, Simon Yorke (d. 1767) (first cousin of Philip Yorke, 1st Earl of Hardwicke). The house was passed down through the Yorke family until March 1973, when it was given to the National Trust. This followed the collapse several years earlier of a shaft from the nearby coal mine (Bersham colliery) under the house, causing subsidence of 5 feet (1.5 m), which seriously affected the structural security of the house to the extent that, without suitable underpinning, it would have become a ruin. It was strengthened using the compensation of £120,000 the National Trust was able to extract from the National Coal Board. 63 acres (250,000 m2) of Erddig Park (out of view of the house) was subsequently sold for £995,000 and this paid for the restoration work on the house. The restoration was completed on 27 June 1977 when Charles, Prince of Wales officially opened Erddig to the public, joking that it was the first time in his, albeit short, life that he had opened something that was already 300 years old.
A tour of the house, which starts "below stairs", tells of the Yorke family's unusually high regard for their servants and, through a collection of portraits, photographs and verses (a family tradition started by Simon's son Philip Yorke (1743–1804), who published The Royal Tribes of Wales in 1799), provides a record of the people who lived and worked on the estate. In the staterooms "above stairs" there is a fine collection of 18th century furniture and other treasures (many of which originally belonged to John Meller, including a portrait in the Music Room of Judge Jeffreys, the "Hanging Judge"). The Yorke family seemingly never threw anything away and the house now has a unique collection ranging from the rare and magnificent (including some exquisite Chinese wallpaper in the State Bedroom) to the ordinary and everyday: indeed, one of the conditions that the last Squire, Philip S. Yorke (1905–1978) imposed on handing over the house and estate to the National Trust in 1973 was that nothing was to be removed from the house. He is quoted as saying: "My only interest for many years has been that this unique establishment for which my family have foregone many luxuries and comforts over seven generations should now be dedicated to the enjoyment of all those who may come here and see a part of our national heritage preserved for all foreseeable time."
General John Yorke (1814–1890) was to become from 1861, the owner of the distinctive Plas Newydd in Llangollen, the self-styled home of the famous Ladies of Llangollen.
i was going to write something about this being a 'curtain' and I changed my mind and then Philipp said this: The sky looks great behind that curtain of branches.
That is so cool because those were my exact thoughts... I am standing behind a curtain.
In Judiasm there was a thick heavy curtain that separated man from the Holy of Holies (the place where God dwelt)and only the High Priest could go in once a year to atone for the sins of the people. When Jesus died on the cross this curtain in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. Now the way to the Father is wide open. Access is available
When I took this photo I was thinking about how available He is...
I am standing behind the curtain...close to His heart. That is why it is called Trust.
Once upon a time we trusted our lives to them, now they're discarded, past their best and left decay in the corner of a field.
Tread Gently! Black Circles Sleeping.

Mixed media spread in my new art journal. My Word for 2013: Trust. It found me, and I loved it and lived it.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him, and
he will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the
Lord and shun evil. This will bring health
to your body and nourishment to your bones.
Proverbs 3:5-8
