“And you say you see
When you look at me
The reason you love life so
Though lost I have been
I find love again
And life just keeps on running
And life just keeps on running
You look at me and life comes
From you”
Then You Look At Me | Céline Dion
I’ve spent over two decades of my life involved in the conservation of sea turtles, and there is no happier sight than seeing a hatchling sea turtle emerge from the nest and make its way to the sea. Regardless of what species or habitat we’re trying to save, conservationists all around the world can relate, that it’s moments like these that make the time, work and effort taken to preserve the natural world for future generations, totally worth it. Leatherback hatchling, Trinidad & Tobago.
when we go for a short walk in the neighborhood our two cats come along- Gata is just running behind like a puppy dog, Moix races around, climbing trees- here he is surveying the field from an olive tree that had to be trimmed severly after a windstorm- the framer is hoping the trunk will make new shoots and the tree can be saved.
Was on Face book this week-end & found a Zentangle with a girls pic in the middle of it, thought it was a cool idea, showed it to hubby & he said ... Do one of you for me for my office ... so this is my 1st attemp at it ... this pic is 36yrs old, when we first meant!
When I was an 11-year-old planespotter at Bogotá's El Dorado airport in the mid-60s, I used to watch Avianca's sleek 707s taxi up to the terminal on their return from Miami or New York.
The planes had the simple yet striking livery seen in fellow Flickerite's xsacman's collection at: www.flickr.com/photos/58903552@N04/6837731792/in/photolis...
The condor shown above was near the nose of the plane below the front passenger door.
Little did I dream then that Avianca would still be around in 2013 and that I would fly Avianca's newly acquired subsidiary TACA Peru from Lima to Arequipa. Service was outstanding. Pretty soon it will just be Avianca and LAN competing for the South American passengers.

When launched into it's second mainline carrear 46035 was painted in a style familiar from the 60's except the warning panel was extended round the headcode box. This was presumably for sighting reasons as the regulations for warning panels had changed since that time. It did look odd though.
Running round it's train at Rawtenstall at the June 1995 Diesel Gala on the ELR D172 makes a fine sight being admired by staff and visitors alike.
Bowen Park, Nanaimo, BC
The average lifespan of a totem pole is less than 100 years. To date, six totem poles in Nanaimo have been taken down due to safety concerns, including five in Bowen Park erected in 1972.
When totems become rotten and unstable, they are laid down during a disconnection ceremony held by First Nations members. The poles are allowed to decay and return naturally to the earth.
Boxes.. Boxes.. Boxes!!! Are just a few of Justice's favourite things. This sweet boy arrived at C.A.R.E.S. when his time ran out at a neighbouring shelter. Justice is a quiet, independent boy who is looking for an indoor only furever home. He is slightly cross-eyed, but it doesn't seem to affect his vision at all. He is OK with other cat friendly cats. No dogs or young children.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do? Prince Charles took the famous phrase is attributed to Ambrose of Milan to the letter on a trip to Saudi Arabia when he wore the traditional Saudi robes (sword included) to take part at the Arda traditional dance in Riyadh on 18 February.

When this firework started to go off, it shot sparks straight up. However, the wind was blowing so hard, it stripped some of the sparks away at the moment of launch. This image captured this odd occurrence.
sometimes savoring the memory is almost as sweet as the moment that created it....
peace to you and yours...ACE
when I took down there feeder to refill it, these little chuparosas were flitting back and forth, back and forth trying to figure out where it went. They would even look inside the window at me as if to tell me "Hey, what's up in there? We're hungry" Yeah right, with their fat little bellies from all that super juice there was no way they could possibly starve in 10 minutes. So I went outside and caught their reflections in the glass. I thought they turned out pretty cool.
Have you read this book? Here's the backstory:
This is an acrylic on board painting I found in an antique mall. The artist, Tom Miller, was a prominent commercial artist who specialized in book cover art in the 1960's through 1980's. He did many romantic novel covers while under contract with CBS Fawcett Books in NYC, for stories by writers which included Taylor Caldwell, Diane DuPont, Mitchell Caine, Pamela Hill, and Raymond Giles. Miller died a few years ago, and his paintings which he had kept were sold at auction.
I initially bought the painting as a joke. It seemed to sum up the entire historical romance novel genre with its images of the brooding sea captain, the sadistic slave overseer, the tall dark hero with the swooning blonde, the pensively waiting raven haired beauty, and the older couple at the spanish mission. I thought I'd have a party, and invite my friends to each write a single page synopsis of a story to accompany the painting, with the writer of the best story to win the painting. But then I began a quest to find the actual book. It's impossible to search for a book online when you don't know either the author or title, so I began browsing used paperback book stores. I resigned myself to searching through a section of the stores where I felt rather embarassed to be seen, but I found a surprising number of Miller's covers. Never this one, however. So now I'm trying a longshot by posting it on Flickr - a proverbial "Hail Mary Pass".
So, anybody recognize the book?
David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia was playing at the Harvard Square Theater (see note) when I took this shot in 1972. Probably the third theatrical release of the film -- it opened in 1962 -- which had 35 minutes cut out of its original 3:42:00 run time.
People coming out of the Harvard Square subway station, waiting to cross Massachusetts Avenue -- maybe to go to the Coop.

When I saw this structure from the bus I thought it was a strange water tower. Once I examined it later it seemed apparent that it was a tower built to disguise cell tower devices. I do not know the significance of the painting of what appears to be Viking ships.
When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun"

The brightest sunshine morning as I see.
The bluebirds start to sing morning love song.
We walk through beautiful scenes of the blue morning,
Your eyes are so lovely and so warm.
I fall in love with YOU
for the special morning love in time.

Finally.....a beautiful sunset (due to there actually being SUN yesterday!) ...This gorgeous view came out of my camera as beautifully as it was seen by my eyes...actually had to tone down the saturation a bit...Looks like a painting as the sun hits the snow covered branches..
I had to go out and run some errands in the late afternoon...got out the door of my house and turned back to get my camera to bring with me...something told me to...So after shopping...I exited the store when day began to turn to night and this was what I saw...Yes..I ran like a fool with my grocery cart..to my truck...grabbed my camera and started shooting...
(I know this beautiful sunset came to me all the way from Ireland...so thank you Frank for sending it my way as promised!)
A week ago I was pretty pro-active and decided to take photographs every day for about 4 or 5 days. The first day I took this. It was 6:30am, i'd gotten straight out of bed, threw some clothes on and drove to St. Ives in Bingley. Needless to say, I was like a zombie, but I started to wake up when I saw this area, as for some reason it felt prehistoric and untouched.
I've also created a video self-portrait here, which I might upload later.... If I decide I like it.

When it comes to the play of light and the end of the filament bulbs

La petite ville de Pontrieux soigne ses éclairages et c'est très agréable de s'y promener de nuit pendant les fêtes de Noël tout autant que pendant le reste de l'année. Ce soir là , je profitais de ma visite pour chercher un reflet intéressant, sujet d'un exercice de mon club photo. Ce fut un "one shot" la propriétaire de la voiture est arrivée, sa réunion terminée. Après une explication du pourquoi je tournais avec insistance autour de son véhicule ce qui est intrigant, je le reconnais; je l'ai félicitée d'habiter une si jolie ville. Un compliment opportun puisque c'était une élue de la municipalité. " Mais pour combien de temps encore ces mises en lumières", m'a t'elle dit," il est si difficile de trouver des ampoules de spots et le remplacement de tout le système à incandescence avec des leds est si onéreux pour notre budget ! " .
Alors, vous tous, venez visiter Pontrieux, venez passer des vacances, aidez cette commune à vivre pour qu'elle puisse continuer à enchanter vos soirées ... et les miennes ! ;-))
The small town of Pontrieux treats so well his lighting and it is very pleasant to walk nightly during the Christmas period as well as for the rest of the year. That evening, I took advantage of my visit to look for a interesting reflection, suject of an exercice for my photo club. It was a "one shot" the owner of the car arrived, her evening meeting ended. After an explanation of why I've turned insistently around the vehicle that is intriguing, I admit, I complimented her to live in such a beautiful city. An appropriate compliment since she is a member of the town council. "But for how long will these lights " she said, "it is so difficult to find spotlight bulbs and replacing all the incandescent system with LEDs is so expensive for our budget! ".
So, all of you, come visit Pontrieux, spend holidays, help this town for living so she could continue to enchant your evenings ... and mine ... Or help to find a sponsor for buying new bulbs! ;-))
When newly refurbished in late 1985/early 1986, Class 37/4 no 37428 was allocated to Cardiff Canton and subsequently named David Lloyd George. However, by the mid-1990s the loco had migrated north to Scotland and became a regular working first out of Inverness then on the West Highland. I had it several times into and out of Fort William, the first time as seen on 8 June 1995.
