There is no ideal Christmas; only the one Christmas you decide to make as a reflection of your values, desires, affections, traditions.

For Smile on Saturday - Baubles
in our local BIG park. We were expecting heavy grey skies this year, but we were blessed with this wonderful light ! I have still to cook our Christmas meal - so I'm rushing to get this on before starting the real cooking !
Hope you've had a lovely Christmas Day so far (it's not over yet) - a lovely time whatever you are celebrating, and that you are suffused with good feelings.
My heart goes out to those who find Christmas and the New Year a lonely and difficult time. We are so lucky to be visiting family tomorrow - I am a lucky woman!
Thanks so much for all your support, as always... you know how I value each and every one of you. I am sorry if I can't always keep up with you !

In the Japanese Garden on the Clingendael estate you will even find a tea pavilion.
This is the most eye-catching and is a popular place to admire the garden from there. In the tea pavilion you will find an indication of the age of the garden. The date "9-7-1913" is applied in the ridge of the pavilion. The Japanese Garden is the oldest of its kind in the Netherlands and has a high historical value.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
Apparently also known as Kangaroo House, this lovely old heritage residence at 27 Enoggera Terrace, Red Hill in Brisbane seems to have been converted into multiple flats. Nicely kept though and right across the road from the Red Hill Cinemas.
This note from the Brisbane City Council's heritage website
"This late Victorian residence was built circa 1891 for John Storie the younger, owner of Storie Steam Joinery on nearby Windsor Road. Its architectural features reveal evidence of the owner’s chosen trade, and reflect the heritage of Red Hill’s early industry. It remains as a significant example of early development along Enoggera Terrace and is important for its strong aesthetic value."
Do one thing, one thing at a time.

In a time of a relentless push to multi-task, and multi-task quickly, to get more done in less time with fewer resources, doing one thing at a time may sound, does sound, heretical.
But to do one thing, just that one thing at a time, is to be exquisitely present; to be deeply transported into that place, and away from here and all other places.
For most of us, going deep ("in the zone" athletes say) happens - on occasion - by accident. But it can happen at almost anytime, with practice and our intention.
Being present isn't a word, or a concept, but a state of being (not "I feel at peace," but "I am at peace.").
It is to be so deeply into that one thing that we struggle to find words to adequately or accurately describe the feeling, or the state of being.
To be "one with..." at any time, anywhere, in any activity, is a state of being well worth the effort to reach. But one does not need to push to get there. Instead, One learns and practices "letting go," removing all things that are not the thing you wish to be or do.
It is Bliss by subtraction, not addition. :-) So much we deem essential...is not.
There's not much for me to add to the list in the image, although I would suspect that each of you may have a thing or two of value that you could put with it.
Note: the cooking and cleaning as meditation are real for me. It could be delivering a baby, digging in a garden, baking cookies or looking intently at a leaf for you. There were other things that I really wished to add as deep meditations, but decided to keep it all PG-13. ;-)
One thing.

The Riverside Riverwalk provides the setting for this composition. Here I emphasized light and dark values. The egret is not as sharp as I wanted it to be, but what matters is what the egret is doing.

There's something inherently sad about household objects left out for the trash man. They are like castoffs; broken or no longer cherished, and left ignominiously out on the curb. This easy chair caught my eye the other day. Part of the forlorn quality of scenes like this is the object being ripped from its normal context. I wouldn't give the chair a second look in someone's living room. But it seemed horribly out of place on the edge of the state highway that bisects the village. That, and the sedentary nature of a recliner juxtaposed against passing traffic. Wonderful visual metaphors for the life cycle of things we purchase and the passage of time (and with it life). In the eerie stillness after the truck passed I contemplated the chair and the many other personal objects scattered about the lawn behind me. There's a village-wide trash haul this weekend, and little collections such as this are springing up all around. I have to admit a weird impulse to inspect them, and yearn to pull over when driving by. I can't help but think I will find something of value (I almost never do) but also that idle curiosity about seeing the remnants of someone else's life (remember I did preface this as weird). I'll be placing some of my own items out on the curb soon. I tend to wait until the night before, perhaps to avoid having others inspect them as I did this chair. Even when it's sheer junk, I feel an odd sentimental tug about letting go of things. And that spell lasts as long as the objects remain on my tree lawn before the pickup. Much like this chair, they are in the condemned phase, but still retrievable. I can simply go back out and reclaim them. That sentiment vanishes the moment the objects are tossed onto the truck. Maybe that's why I wait until the last minute to put them out. I just can't stand that in between time.

Thank you everyone so much for sharing your quality photos which is a great way to see and keep in touch with the world from home. Also for your kind comments and favours which are much valued.I am not able to take on any more members to follow or to post to groups. I prefer not to receive invites to groups
Granted this shot would have been a lot more impressive with an actual train running through it and i was quite prepared to wait it out. The proposal was voiced. The wife did not see the value of sitting in the car an additional 2 hours waiting for a train we weren't going to get on given we were already set to drive 5 hours to get home that day. A vote was taken. The vote count was 1 for and 1 against. As you can see --- no train.
A shot uploaded for interest value finds a number of Hymeks, and a Warship, lounging in the scrapyard at Swindon Works, awaiting the cutter's torch, in March 1975.
The cold, bleak day sort of sums up the mood as, by now, BR's drive to rid themselves of diesel-hydraulics locomotives was underway with nothing short of a vengeance.
Nearest the camera looking decidedly sorry for itself is 7068 and, just behind her, is Warship class 806 (previously "Cambrian"), and then another Hymek, 7023.
Just to the left of 7068 can be seen the remnants of 7054 - one of the few and perhaps the only one, to still be carrying its original green livery when withdrawn. See also link attached ....

The first Point Arena Lighthouse was constructed in 1870.
In 1906 it was damaged in an earthquake.
It was reconstructed and resumed operation in 1908 and featured a 1st Order Fresnel Lens, seven feet in diameter and weighing 4,700 pounds. The lens is made up of 258 hand-ground glass prisms all focused toward three sets of double bulls eyes. It is these bulls eyes that gave the Point Arena Lighthouse its unique “light signature” of two flashes every six seconds. This incredible optic, that holds an appraised value of over $3.5 million

Barton Hill depot in Bristol will be the temporary home for 20901 and 20905 for the next 5 weeks whilst they undergo a repaint into Balfour Beatty livery.
The depot opened in 1840 as a locomotive depot until 1870 when it became a carriage and wagon servicing facility.
I remember it being the home of the Blue Pullman in the early 70s. It was used by RES for a little bit in the mid 90s and went into Arriva ownership in 2011.
Its great to see some locomotives from the 1960s in a depot building dating back to the 1840s.
English ten pound note.
If you are familiar with this banknote then this image may strike you as being a little odd. You’ll know the iridescent holograms on the left, but you may not have seen the large yellow figures ‘10’ formed in the pattern at the top.
That’s because this image was taken in UV light. There are patches of fluorescent ink printed on the note that just look like white paper in ordinary light. The five-pound note has a 5 in the same place. I couldn’t afford a £20 note to check it out for consistency (or should that be cheque?) ;)
The British pound sterling is the oldest currency in the world that has been in constant circulation. It was adopted around 800AD being modelled on the currency of the French kingdom of Charles the Great (Charlemagne) which was established a few years before. Italian, Spanish and Portuguese currency had the same roots.
The French livre (pound) had 20 sous each of 12 deniers, like the 20 shillings and 12 pennies of sterling. Interestingly although the small denomination was called a penny its symbol was the ‘d’, just like the French denier, the Spanish Dinero and the Portuguese Dinheiro. All the names derive from the Roman denarius coin.
Sterling was decimalised in 1971 which caused all the prices to go up and the parking meters to stop working :) The pound now has 100 new pennies (p or pence).
Originally one French livre was worth a pound weight of silver (equivalent to 14.6 Troy ounces), but by 850 the pound sterling was only worth eleven and a quarter Troy ounces of silver. Looking at tonight’s spot price for silver my note should be redeemable for £1868.62 of the shiny metal… times change.
This image measures under 3 inches across as per the rules.
One thing that photographers should be aware of is that it is illegal to reproduce a digital picture of more than 50% of one side of the note without an overstamp, and the Queen’s head must not be distorted. There are the normal copyright issues as well and these can be rigorously prosecuted. See the Bank of England website for more details.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Macro Mondays :)

On the 15th December 2010, they killed-off the Harrier to save less than £1bn. This year the UK government has already spend more than £300bn fighting COVID-19. That’s more money per day on COVID-19 than the entire savings from retiring the Harrier force.
The enduring appeal of "The Lion King", inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet at the Lyceum Theatre.
If you find yourself crying,it’s out of joy and wonderment.The story centres on Courage,Loyalty,and Love of Home and Family values.
A lyrical,dramatic and epic musical show that dazzles all ages with the evocative rhythms of Africa set against the majesty of the Serengeti Plains.Compelling storyline and light effects,
evocative stage and costume design,and most rousing music.
A real feast to the senses of the audience.
Good, my lord,you suited the action to the word,the word to the action,with this special observance,that you o'erstepped not the modesty of nature.I saw the players well bestowed and used ; for they are the abstract and brief chronicles of the time.

The Glendale Shoals Preserve was donated to SPACE in 1993 by Billy Tobias. The land consists of thirteen acres and is located at the old Glendale Mill on Lawson’s Fork Creek. The property is scenic, with a waterfall that cascades over a dam, and has significant plant, animal, and bird life. When the water is low, walk across the shoals, skip some rocks, and enjoy the view. In addition to the scenic value of the property, the history of this area is significant. In the 1800’s the area was known as Bivingsville and was the site of a large cotton factory, the Glendale Mill, which also supported a local mill village.
