I've been walking around for days
I clear my head and try to erase these thoughts
These thoughts that plague me
Save me!
Yeah you gotta
'cause when they're gone they can't replace
When they're gone still I'm faced with the fact
Oh, I wish it was fiction
I'm still looking but you're still missing
I can't get you out of my head
There's ghosts in my head
Ghosts in my head again
We've done it, we moved into our new home on Sat 24th, still lots to do but we've settled in, so I will try and get back to commenting more now, still rather busy to get out with the camera, so it will have to archive stuff for a bit longer. I don't want to move house ever again, ha ha
I've been a bit amiss with my posting and will try to catch up a bit (again) but staying rather busy this Fall and now with the leaves just about at peak color I thought it time to head out and enjoy the scenery. High Point State Park has always been a popular destination in New Jersey and I've been here many, many times but this year may very well be the first time the monument was actually open! I brought my camera and wasn't disappointed with the inner stairway and its 291 steps. I should have run back to the car and got my tripod but I didn't. Then again, if I got the perfect stairway shot that I had in mind I probably wouldn't have come up with this Fall slider of sorts. So it goes and I'm happy on this fine Sunday! Created for the Slider Sunday group - HSS!
I've driven through this junction hundreds of times and often wondered what this shot would look like. When I saw snow on the ground I knew that would give extra contrast so I parked up and went up onto a foot bridge to tkae the shot. I could not get a full sequence of the traffic lights in one exposure so this is 4 shots stacked in photoshop.
I've taken many pictures of this homestead over the years because I find it very scenic. I was a little disappointed this year because there are very few wild flowers. Our rains didn't come early enough so the entire region here has very few wild flowers. I drove through the mountains to this location to check out wild flowers in particular and there just wasn't hardly any. Guess I will have go to Colorado soon to see if they have theirs. First picture with my new GPS attachment - I like it very much :) When you post your picture to Flickr, it automatically posts the exact location to their map whereas I used to have to do it manually :)

I've seen that look in your eyes
It makes me go blind
Cut me deep, the secrets and lies
Storm in the quiet
I've sat on this for awhile: it's not for the squeamish or rodent lovers. I took a poll though and couldn't find anyone who loves gophers. I didn't see the whole story, but evidently the heron nails the gopher and then takes it to water for the finish. Whether it's already dead by the time it gets the dunking I don't know. Actually this is the second time I've seen a Great Blue - probably this Great Blue - do this at this local haunt.
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
The reality of this shot is I was playing cards with one of my grandkids and Mixie (my grandkitty) came up on the table and insisted on playing with us but on her terms of course.....just like a cat.
I've been rendered 'hors de combat' with M.E. during the greater part of the week or so that this bird has been entertaining the many birders and photographers that have visited the site, but I was finally able to make the trip from Nottingham yesterday.
I've not seen a Hoopoe since we had a pair nesting in a tree stump at an archaeological site in Bulgaria, close to where I was working on the animal bones 30 years ago, at Nicopolis ad Istrum (Nikiup).
This one didn't disappoint. An extraordinarily confiding vagrant passage migrant, that presumably should have been heading for sunnier climes in Africa, but has been knocked off course to turn up here, it happily pottered about all day searching for grubs and digging them up for food, coming within feet of watchers without fear or favour. What a super little bird, brilliant experience and well worth the trip..
No internet access for a few days now.
Thank you for your comments and faves
I’ve done some hocus pocus that would make the shadow of Daguerre haunt me for a heretic.

I've posted images of this wonderful place many times, but it seems to look different every time I go. This is Pitt Lake in Maple Ridge, another one of my favourite places to go and just take in the beauty of nature.
44:52 Giving Thanks
There is always so much to be thankful for, and I am thankful that I live in such a beautiful part of this world, and that in minutes I can be in the midst of nature.
Zoom in and take a look around if you like :)

Deniz ve Ben!
Deniz ve ben...
Sensiz olamayız.
Sen de denizsiz ve bensiz olamazsın.
Bir kanadının altına beni,
Diğerine de denizi sığdırmışsın.
Sen o masmavi sen kokan sularda gidip gelirken,
Ben de bekler dururum seni.
Senin denizi geçip, bana gelmeni.
Arzu Özbilen!
If it were not for you and your courage my family would not be around today. Heartfelt gratitude!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
I've always wanted to see flowing lava. And when the volcanic eruption started on March 19, 2021 on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland, it was clear that we would go to Iceland again this year (for the fourth time in 9 years). Unfortunately Iceland was not open for tourism so we had to wait and wait and wait. A few months later we could finally go. The Fagradalsfjall volcano was no longer as active as it was in March, but my long-held wish to see lava flowing someday came true. From the ground there was not much to see so we went with a helicopter. And just when I first saw the Northern Lights, I was once again moved by the splendor and power of nature. We could even hear the sound of the volcano in the helicopter and i didn't expect lava to flow so fast. It was so beautiful I almost forgot to take pictures.
Almost.
I've been watching this Double Crested Cormorant all year. She is blind in one eye and at times I've seen her sit on the edge of this landing and just look around as if she doesn't know I'm there.
I read the oldest known Double-crested Cormorant was at least 22 years, 6 months old; it was banded in Ontario in 1984 and found in Louisiana in 2006.
With all my heart I hope this grand bird finds a safe place for the winter. She has captured my heart...
I've always thought giraffes were simultaneously incredibly peculiarly constructed and intensely beautiful. I'm transfixed when I see them, and I really wanted to capture that in a photo or two.

I've shot this bendy beech a few times now and each time it is the tree that keeps giving, especially with the curving track that sweeps around it. The mist just adds to the atmosphere as the soft light percolates through the canopy to highlight the path ahead. I'm sure it will feature many more times to come too! Taken in Barnes's Grove, Buckinghamshire
I've been up to this park a few times since we've been staying in Las Cruces, New Mexico but this shot was from our first visit, it was taken near sunset. There was plenty of drama in the sky and even rain trying hard to reach the ground.

Ves que te puedo tocar con un dedo de amor...
Puedo hacerte temblar cuando escuches mi voz....
No esta todo perdido..si quema mi fuego en tu piel..cuando digo tu Nombre......
Ves que no todo acabó..el amor sigue aqui..
Esto no terminó.. tu me miras así..-como ayer...
Tiene tanto poder lo q siento...
Esq lo Nuestro es Eterno....
I’ve been looking for street scenes without people recently... I took this in our neighbourhood.. which we really like!
It has everything you need... public transport, a huge park, the centre of town... all just round the corner!
And the area has not... yet?.. been ‘gentrified’ so there’s a great mixture of people. We’ve lived her for a very long time!
I ve quite enjoyed my photos going from grey to orange these past few days and the heatwave.
This was Studland Bay in Dorset yesterday evening. I wasn't expecting to get my telephoto lens out but it was one of those hazy sunsets at the end of a sweltering hot day with the sun a red ball instead of my usual starburst. This is normally a great location for long exposures but I was mesmerised by those gentle ripples.
It's definatly cooling down now and with a thunderstorm in the air.
I've been going over to Commonwealth Lake for the last few weeks, in anticipation of the arrival of the Osprey. I keep hearing about the Virginia Rail, and where to look for it, but hadn't been fortunate enough to see it - until Friday. Came out into plain sight - briefly - before darting back into the brush.

I've never before seen icicles in Soda Dam on the Jemez Creek -- what a treat!
The Soda Dam is made of travertine, calcium carbonate precipitated from groundwater. There are currently 15 springs and seeps in the Soda Dam area with a maximum temperature of 48 degrees C. The springs that precipitated the travertine discharge from a strand of the Jemez fault zone that runs through the area. The Jemez fault predates the formation of the Valles caldera.
The maximum age of the travertine deposits that make up the Soda Dam is 7000 years. Older deposits in the area have been dated at 480,000 to 1 million years old. This is about the same age as the Valles caldera.
About 35 years ago, the State Highway Department dynamited a hole in the dam in order to build the current road and the plumbing of the hot spring waters was disrupted. Because of the disruption, the Soda Dam is now slowly disintegrating.
I've been running through the jungle.
I've been running with the wolves to get to you.
I've been down the darkest alleys, I saw the the dark side of the moon to get to you.
I've looked for love in every stranger, took to much to ease the anger, all for you.
All for you.

I've taken most of my capture of Steetley Pier from the confines of the beach. This one is a little different as it captures the pier from above, looking straight along the top platform. Hence the play on words for the title.
At an earlier point this top area was accessible and was used by many local anglers.
Due to the deterioration of the pier, a section was removed, which now prevents access.
The setting sun casts a nice pink glow across the sky and the Long Exposure blends the clouds nicely.
I've never been one to shy away from a little harmless yet extravagant over-engineering and I was in perfect form the day before I took this photo with a completely excessive amount of work anchoring my tent into the snow with oversized snow pegs and buried blocks of ice which, had given the comedians camping with me plenty to work with.
A few hours after I'd finished work on my aptly labelled 'Fort Knox' we noticed some dark clouds beginning to appear on the horizon. I was so excited but they were quickly dismissed by the others in favour of the forecast which, was still calling for a calm night...
The next morning came and I woke to an aftermath of ripped and wrangled tents from a surprise storm that had kept everyone up frantically trying to save their gear and make it through.
As it would turn out, that was the best nights sleep I'd had in a while and now I was the only one up to enjoy the beautiful sunrise ❄️💨

Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong
Tonight, I throw myself into
And out of the red
Out of her head, she sang
Come down and waste away with me
Down with me
Slow, how you wanted it to be
I'm over my head
Out of her head, she sang
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever be this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Breathe out
So I can breathe you in
Hold you in
And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head
Out of my head, I sang
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
So I've seen and purchased Arcback Jeans at a couple of events. I think they were at TMD each time, I'm not sure. However, I have to tell you. I am hooked on them. I'm not an advertising blogger, not yet anway, so you know this comes directly from me without influence. This last round at TMD I bought the fatpack.
The jeans look... (read the rest of the review on my blog)
I've finally changed my SL name, so there's that :D I've been meaning to do that for a while, something to reflect my SL personality.
So hi, I'm Persi (short for Persephone and Persimmon because I love them! :D)
Also, I'm back to sharing interior shots soon, after a long break due to vacations/health.
I've been posting images of two great horned owlets lately. This image is of another recently fledged owlet on the west coast of Florida. One of the parents was sitting directly above the owlet (not pictured) and the other was in a nearby tree keeping a close eye on junior.

I've not travelled for what seems like ages and have been losing inspiration to take my camera out to the same local place over and over. I don't normally head out to snap Clevedon Pier as it's usually busy, but was walking past and decided to have a go as it was quiet, and raining. The people fishing on the pier with their different coloured brollies was nice to see in such miserable weather...
I've lived in Alaska for 23 years now and have only seen bison three times. The first two times the herd was on the Deltana River at least a half mile away. The third time, five bison came to within 25 yard of us. We were on our way to see family near Tok Alaska when we seen these bison walking in a clearing. Needless to say, we, my wife and I were really excited to see them. We only had a few minutes with them, they turned and went back into the woods, but wow, what an experience.
These bison are part of a herd that was introduced to Alaska back in 1928.
