A host of golden daffodils ;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Photo by yours truly in Southport Botanic Gardens, Churchtown, Sefton, Merseyside.
Batty old bird feeding the sky vermin, minutes after this she got all her kit off and took a dip in the Mediterranean...it spoiled sex for me for a good while 😜
When you kill an ant or a small insect, do you ever think he has a whole family waiting for his return? No, you only think for yourself..
All lives matter.

A few more of this outfit from my photoshoot (all my own clothes as well :) )
I will load up some more of the other outfits when I get time
And when it rains,
On this side of town it touches, everything.
Just say it again and mean it.
We don't miss a thing.
You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole
And convinced yourself that
It's not the reason you don't see the sun anymore
And oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
Oh, oh, I need the ending.
So why can't you stay
Just long enough to explain?
And when it rains,
You always find an escape
Just running away,
From all of the ones who love you,
From everything.
You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole
And you'll sleep 'til May
And you'll say that you don't not see the sun anymore
And oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
And oh, oh, I need the ending.
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?
Take your time.
Take my time.
Take these chances to turn it around. (take your time)
Take these chances, we'll make it somehow
And take these chances to turn it around. (take my...)
Just turn it around.
You can take your time, take my time.

When everything comes together and this is the reflection that I saw in the mirror.......... I had achieved my goal........ I felt femme, happy, content, comfortable and pretty and me.
I have always known I was different and this proves it beyond debate!
UPDATE 21/02/2020
I can really relate to this........ if only
Summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends
ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when September ends
here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up
when
September ends
~Greenday
And when October goes
The same old dream appears
And you are in my arms
To share the happy years
I turn my head away
To hide the helpless tears
Oh how I hate to see October go
I should be over it now I know
It doesn't matter much
How old I grow
I hate to see October go

A small boat harbored at the very far end of the beach at Cirali and Olympos..
In the 11 yrs that I have been here I have never until this past weekend been to this far end of the beach...in the forground many people in jump off these high rocks into the sea along with sea kayaking..
at the base of the Ceneviz castle ruins at Olympos.
Ceneviz Kalesi'nden Olympos......Olimpos'a gelip de Ceneviz Kalesi'ni, Yanartaşı ve ören yerleri görmeden dönmek olmaz.
In the Middle Ages, Venetians, Genoese and Rhodians built two fortresses along the coast, but by the 15th century Olympos had been abandoned. Today the site attracts tourists, not only for the artifacts that can still be found (though fragmentary and widely scattered), but also for its scenic landscapes supporting wild grapevines, flowering oleander, bay trees, figs and pines.

sorry for adding so many photos over the past few days but I just cant help myself with wanting to share so many of them with you :=))
Johnny Cash, the Man in Black, sang "When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry" in his hit song "Folsom Prison Blues". I couldn't help but think of that line as well as the entire song while watching a scene like this unfold before me.
Steam Railroading Institute's North Pole Express, led by the Pere Marquette (PM) 1225 approaches the North Pole (Ashley, Michigan) loaded with kids of all ages eager to see Santa.
The Pere Marquette 1225 served as the model for the steam engine in the movie "Polar Express".
If it has been a while since you've heard, or perhaps you've never heard Folsom Prison Blues, see below. I take no credit for posting the video, but consider it a worthy version with lyrics:
When I spotted the many American Goldfinches flying into the Sunflowers I patiently waited for a moment like this one...I will certainly remember this little beauty basking in the sun and eating the tasty sunflower seeds.
"This handsome little finch, the state bird of New Jersey, Iowa, and Washington, is welcome and common at feeders, where it takes primarily sunflower and nyjer. Goldfinches often flock with Pine Siskins and Common Redpolls. Spring males are brilliant yellow and shiny black with a bit of white. Females and all winter birds are more dull but identifiable by their conical bill; pointed, notched tail; wingbars; and lack of streaking. During molts they look bizarrely patchy."
"American Goldfinches are the only finch that molts its body feathers twice a year, once in late winter and again in late summer. The brightening yellow of male goldfinches each spring is one welcome mark of approaching warm months."
Have a great day everyone!
When our photographer in Brazil met Audrey for this gallery created back in 2004, a new definition of beauty for body hair was created. The stunning contrast between Audrey's skin tone, and her arm hair, make each of the strands appear starkly. Soft and flowing, the texture is something to behold.

Single Shot, No HDR and the grey colour was not a filter cast but the actual colour i had to show as it was darkened, read below for explanation.

This is a bit of a vault shot i took a couple of weeks ago. The shoot that morning was making me feel originally disappointed because just as the sun began to rise above the horizon behind a low cloud band that hugged the horizon also, this other large cloud section rolled over in front and pretty much destroyed the light i was trying to capture.
The reddish cloud is capturing the light from above this band of cloud at the front and the light could not pass through under it because it was already playing hide and seek behind another.
I played with a couple of these shots to no avail, but as i was working late tonight i popped one open and i thought this one didn't come out that bad.
That sun really needs a wake up call sometimes...............HaHa!!
A single word can brighten the face
of one who knows the value of words.
Ripened in silence, a single word
acquires a great energy for work.
War is cut short by a word,
and a word heals the wounds,
Let a word mature inside yourself.
Withhold the unripened thought.
Know when to speak a word
and when not to speak at all.
A single word turns the universe of hell
into eight paradises.

The San Diego Zoo’s reindeer received a “cool” surprise this morning (Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2017), when 16 tons of fresh, powdery snow was blown into their exhibit for them to enjoy. When the two female and one male reindeer entered their habitat, they immediately headed for the snow. Details: bit.ly/2pfV2oM
>>When most of us are quite apathetic towards politics
>>When we have forgotten about people who have laid down their lives to attain independence
>>When political parties attack independence of youth under the garb of moral policing
>>When one out of 200 children are found begging on the road
>>When the talk about politics is generally pessimistic
>>When every now and then we keep hearing of farmers commiting suicides
>>When we are clueless about where the money of tax-payers is going
>>When we are ruled by politicians who are running the country according to their whims and fancies.
>>When independence day is viewed as nothing more than a bonus holiday in the middle of the week.
>>When the rural and urban areas have a "zameen aasmaan ka" difference..
(and we call it diversity..it is nothing else but bullshit!!!)
>>When there is a fear of a terrorist attack or an bomb explosion every now and then
>>When life has become so slow and lousy that we are compelled to wait at the sickening traffic jams for hours
>>When i cannot even find one honest leader to vote for...
When we are so down to the dumps,
How the hell can we call owrselves independent??
"Lets accept it"
....Instead of neglecting it and keep celebrating like fools....
How about bribing the chinese leaders and politicians to rule owr country..Atleast,we would have increased owr chances of winning gold medals in the olympic games,if not anything else..

... the mountains in Austria can offer some spectacular views!
I promise you I'll not bore you to death with all the peaks I took pictures of at once, but I just loved the ray of light in this one.
Please, View On Black for enhanced pleasure! ;-)
When close enough you can readily tell which direction these double-enders are heading, or if they are standing still.
This is another photo of one of the reading areas at the John Rylands Library in Manchester. The neo-Gothic building (it was completed in 1900) is every bit as sumptuous as a medieval castle but with better heating and lighting – it was one of the first buildings in Manchester with electric lighting incorporated in the design plans.
My daughter recently bought me six cheeses imported from England. From left are Red Leicester, West Country Farmhouse Cheddar, Cheddar with Truffle and Double Gloucestershire Spring Onions and Chives.
