A variation of my image, posted a few days ago, of the view from the rock platform at Kirribilli, Sydney.
See: www.flickr.com/photos/41942765@N08/53049495868/in/datepos...
Today's view incorporates the Opera House, whereas the other image included only the city and the bridge. It was a matter of trying to get the best angle with my 16-35mm wide lens, without falling into Sydney harbour, lol.
Photographed last Friday, 14th July, 2023. The winter sunset in Sydney.
My Canon EOS 5D Mk IV with the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L lens.
Processed in Adobe Lightroom and PhotoPad Pro by NCH software.
No filter. No saturation. This is the Sydney sunset.
But it could be a bit sharper on the top of the city buildings.
Christmas Eve, is a perfect time to find your Smile reflected in a Bauble........
A Time of Celebration, with family and friends may it be filled with Joy and Peace......Happy Christmas.
It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart. Talking isn't doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds. The most important things are the hardest things to say.......
Once upon a time, the pine tree, that spring is already approaching.
The mole croaked grimly: - He will surely come by car.
The hedgehog turned stern: - Rather on a scooter.
The snake hissed: - I don't believe it, he'll come on a bicycle.
The blackbird whistled: - I know something about it, he will come by plane.
- From where again," said the magpie, "I do not take my eyes off her
and last year in May I saw her on the streetcar.
- Not true spring usually arrives by motorcycle!
- And I will prove to you here that it is by car.
- Not true, because in a carriage!
- In a carriage? - What are you saying?
I can briefly declare that he goes by his own boat!
And spring has come on foot.
Already the flowers are enjoying her , already the grasses are growing before her
And they are humming - welcome spring!

This little stumbled upon a bit of salmon scrap while following mom and siblings along the riverbank. He/she decided to stop and do a little taste test along the way. Don't want any of those scraps going to waste now do we!
I normally show my coffee and only a small part around.
This is a counter of the cafe.
They organise everything looking so old amazingly, except.....
you can see the coffee grinder and espresso machine pretty new.
Really astonishing number of customers everyday (which I never show either), and they have to survive. I don't complain about a bit of new tech. They make quiet nice coffee.
Sorry about breaking your dream. If you'd still like some coffee, come and join ☕️😉

Have a lovely weekend!
He once had a dream of stars, dancing upon a rippled water's surface. Black waves crashed against a dark shoreline and the rhythmic waves were the only thing to be heard. It was calm and peaceful. Slowly he made his way into the ocean, the waves welcomed him like an old friend as he dove into the cool water. Deep down, where there was no light from the moon. However, it wasn't dark. A beautiful landscape awaited him, like he had never seen it before. Bioluminescent plankton illuminated the ocean floor and the water around him. His movements left shiny trails of blue and green behind. There were glowing plants of yellow, blue and green, even purple. Gently they waved back and forth as if they wanted to show him the way, while swarms of gleaming fish surrounded him. He was so captivated by the beauty before him and all these wonders of life around him, that he almost forgot to breathe. Ready to make his way back to the surface to catch his breath, he realized that a swarm of jellyfish covered the entire surface like a huge cloud. While his air was running thin, he tried to find another way out, but there was none.
He remembered the dream so clear like a memory. Just like the persons response to his story.
"I will come and save you from the jellyfish", they said.
So he waited patiently by the jellyfish, for them to come and find him.

Maybe not the most glamorous of butterflies and certainly when both eyespots are hidden the grey, brown and black marbled underwings of this skulking species render it so well camouflaged that it is exceedingly difficult to even spot or photograph. After spending some considerable time watching this one creep through the New Forest heathland grasses and debris late afternoon I was delighted to see it make its way towards the Ling Heather upon which it nectared.
Thank you for your kind responses.

I came upon this IKEA display of colorful utility brushes and thought it would make for an interesting photo.

In 1835, Berwick was told that its prison in the Town Hall was unsuitable and needed to be replaced. It took sometime to find a site, agree on plans and raise the money to do this. However, this project finally came to fruition with the opening of this building in Wallace Green in 1849 as a Prison. It's history as a prison was relatively short lived as it closed in 1878. However, having cost so much to build, a new use had to be found for it. Initially it was used as a Court house and by Berwick's Police Force, but then in the early 1890s it was purchased by Berwick's
Urban Sanitary Authority, it was converted to office
accommodation and stables were built on the back of the site. A plaque above the main door commemorates the completion of this work in 1892. From then until 2009, the building was used a Council administrative buildings, being eventually sold after 2015 to a local developer, who has converted it to four properties, retaining many of its original features, including some of the prison cells on the top floor.

A little fairy tale from the Wild Garden ..
Once upon a time a little girl who lived in the Wild Garden loved the Canterbury Bells so much so that she decided to live with them. There she became an Elf and was never seen again. But it is known that she lived happily together with all the flowers and animals of the Wild Garden .....
Can you spot her face ???

American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis)
Seven Islands State Birding Park, Tennessee, U.S.A.
The American Goldfinch is a late-breeding songbird that feeds almost exclusively on seeds, especially thistle, sunflower, and coneflower. It prefers open meadows and weedy fields rich in native plants, often nesting near thistle patches to match peak seed availability. Northern populations migrate south in winter, but their movements are erratic—and in colder months, they molt into a muted olive-brown plumage that makes them difficult to spot.
According to the IUCN Red List, the American Goldfinch has an estimated 44,000,000 mature individuals with a population trend that is decreasing.
IUCN Red List Assessment (2016): Least Concern
