“When you look for the right person, you always end up with the wrong one. But when you just sit by the corner and wait, he comes along and shares the corner with you.”
—Unknown
Faces without names
Playing devils and angels
Lit up by the strobes
Moving hypnotised
I caught your reflection
In the neon on glass
An electric silhouette
Against a static sky

Couldn't resist taking a picture while wandering the amazing Blade Runner build at Themyscira.
When I first adopted Emmy, I was told that "she never barks". Before we even got her home, she had decided that we were her "people". After a few days, she barked for the first time, now she is a very faithful watchdog, little but fiercely protective.

Same spotted eagle ray as an earlier post (but from this angle you can't see the spots). The eagle ray had finished searching through the sand for food and then rose in front of me to give this view of its face, with the pig-like nose. I'd say it is cute, but I know that is debatable. :-)
The opportunistic palometa is underneath, with another one barely visible behind.
The eagle ray is listed as endangered by the IUCN.
When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a time of desolation and despair, where hope seemed a distant memory. Yet we understand that winter is simply a chapter in the unbroken flow of life.
Standing here in this stillness, surrounded by the quiet of the season, I can't help but feel that a winter like this carries a quiet sort of grace.
When even the birds can be good to each other we should manage to do the same
I think I would say that we have a bit more brains than the birds, even tho I'm doubting some times....
The hoarding that is going on in this CoronaTime, is pretty hillarious or maybe I would call it gross
It's plenty of stuff in the shops if every body is using their heads a bit and not thinking so darn selfish
Hoarding is not in..
and has never been
Hoarding actually makes it worse for the weakest in our society and of course it will frighten many to think Is this so serious?
Yes, it is serious
But you just need to use your head a bit more than you are used to
If you are in the risiko group, are you weak and having health issues you need to be extra careful
The others of us just need to stay calm, not panicing, not making it worse than it is for the ones that already are in fear
When will we ever learn
When I'm taking photos that's the only thing my mind is on. So if there is something of historical significance it just slips by. As a consequence I'm not the guy to tell you the place in Oregon history that this house has. But my friends, does this image of the house not tickle some memory in the back of your mind? It looks familiar in some way maybe? Although not identical it bears a certain resemblance to the house in the background of Grant Wood's overly famous painting "American Gothic." Knowing this might it be an interesting project at some point to pose some couple in front of it and see what one might do with it?

Wells Fargo Tower and the adjacent Bank of America Tower plunge into the Downtown Fort Worth, Texas, sky.
The sun comes out, the plumage sparkles—high time for a thorough beauty treatment. This glossy duck visibly gets itself into shape to impress the female ducks.

Wenn die Sonne scheint, beginnt der Glanz
Die Sonne kommt heraus, das Gefieder funkelt – höchste Zeit für eine gründliche Schönheitskur. Diese Glanzente bringt sich sichtbar in Form, um bei den Entendamen Eindruck zu machen.
My heart is black,
Raging with despair,
anger and sorrow.
Filled with confusion and uselessness.
Black, angry and disconnected.
I’m afraid the blackness might spread.

Today is the day for my 64th. Sure is hard to believe that is has come so fast especially since turning 50 it's been Zoom Zoom.
There is so much to be thankful for. My i have been lucky and so very happy. Always knew that if this day was to arrive that my anthem would be the song by The Beatles....when i'm 64.
So Thank you also John Paul George and Ringo !
Here are a couple of links to click on if you are a fan of the song when i'm 64. Second link is not The Beatles but The Monalisa twins. Enjoy !

Have a fabulous day dear Flickr friends !
There’s something undeniably magical about sitting outside, watching a lightning storm light up the sky.

Looking through some old SD cards again and ran across this shot from 2017. This was back when I didnt have a DSLR yet and was shooting with a Nikon point and shoot, but the photo is still pretty clear and sharp. Standard cab SD70 #2556 leads an eastbound grain train on an overcast day through Wabun, Va on the Whitethorne district. I'm guessing this particular unit never got rebuilt because I can't find it on a list anywhere.
When I close my eyes I still hear your voice and see your face, so I spend my days drinking to dull the pain.
When it first flew up into the tree, it gave a big shake... like a dog and the light backlit its feathers.

Have a wonderful day ahead y’all
When I was a kid my sisters and I would look up to the clouds and see where our imagination would take us. Use your and see if you can see two people hugging
When the light begins to fade and the city starts to glow, everything on the street takes on a different flavour. The rush softens, colours stretch, footsteps smear into gentle echoes, and suddenly the everyday bustle feels almost theatrical. Slow the shutter and the scene reshapes itself: people become brushstrokes, headlights turn to ribbons, and the whole corner hums with a kind of dreamy urgency. It’s in that blur — that delicious in‑between — where the city shows you how alive it really is.
Thank you Alyx for the lights, Fly for the music, and of course Harry and Hannignton for being here.

On my 2 mile walk around the lane. Dull, grey, rain in the air. About 13C, warmer than expected at this time of year
