The most striking feature that everyone most often sees on a Ring-necked Duck is the white ring on its beak and not the ring on its neck that gave its name. The cinnamon colored ring on the neck is not always visible and the sun has to shine in a particular angle to make it so. People sometime wonder why is it called Ring-necked when the ring is clearly on its beak. This photo was taken in 2014 when the entire marina was frozen solid except for one little area at the entrance of the dock which was kept ice free and the duck was actively feeding in the area. Colonel Sam Smith Park, Toronto, Ontario.
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? - Jesus - Matthew 6:26-34
I recently posted an image from a road trip. A number of Flickr contacts commented on how much they enjoy road trips, or would like to. Why? There are a number of reasons, but this image from Tower Rock State Park speaks to one of them: road trips can be learning experiences.
Tower Rock State Park is near the community of Cascade in the state of Montana. The centerpiece of the park is Tower Rock, a 424-foot -high rock formation which marks the entrance to the Missouri River Canyon in the Adel Mountains Volcanic Field. It was well known to Native Americans, and considered a sacred place by the Piegan Blackfeet.
Tower Rock received its current name when Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark Expedition visited the site in 1805. Railroad and highway development in the late 1800s and 1900s skirted Tower Rock, but the landform itself remained pristine. The 87.2 acres encompassing Tower Rock was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 18, 2002. The 140-acre Tower Rock State Park was created around the National Historic Site in 2004.
On my road trip, I didn't linger in Tower Rock State Park. But after I composed this image, I read about it. I learned that Montana had hosted volcanic eruptions, that there is an Adel Mountain Range, that this was Lewis and Clark territory, that the land is considered sacred by some, that it would be interesting to spend some time there.

Have you ever analyzed and genuinely thought, "Why do I take photos?" And, again, "Why do I choose to share my photos on social media?" Is it an ego trip? Is it a business venture to sell my stuff? Is it a journalistic journey? Is it an on-going travel log? Is it a way to socialize with others with like interests? Is it an avenue to study other's work as a way of trying to perfect and improve my own? Is it a way to share my joy? Is it a way to face a challenge? Is there a "wow" factor about the universe that will be enhanced by sharing it with others? Is it a way to study the work of others to try and grasp a better understanding of that person through the study of their art? Why? Why do I take photos? I've considered the option to drop out of social media sites and keep my photos tucked away in my computer to be enjoyed by me and me alone. Would I find as much fulfillment in doing so? Or, am I much like a musician who plays the piano or violin and delights in sharing the end results of the perfection of my music with others because it has become so beautiful to myself that I now desire to share it with others? Why? Why do I take photos?
ME:
Peter...why do you look so sad?
PETER:
Well...I'm not feeling very well.
ME:
Do you have a stomachache or a headache or something else?
PETER:
No, but...but...I feel so lonely.
Everyone is at Paddy's birthday party and I'm not.
And...and I have a present for Paddy. I want to give Paddy my prettiest marble and I would like a piece of that cake and I would like to see my very best friend Scout and my dearest princess Rosie and Nanuk and...
ME:
Wait a minute, Peter.
Are you a little jealous of Oleg because he's at his best friend's birthday party and you're not?
PETER:
Jealous? No, not at all. I wish Oleg and Paddy a happy birthday and hope they get to eat lots of cake until they feel sick.
ME:
Until they feel sick? That's not very nice to say, Peter.
By the way, you went to your best friend Scout's birthday party and Oleg wasn't there. He was happy that you and Scout were having such a good time.
Let Oleg enjoy this time with his great friend.
Come on...let's do something fun together.
How about we play marbles together?
There are lots of them in the attic.
PETER:
Oh...yes, Mummy Marian...that sounds like fun.
Why do we love the sea? It's because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.

The Netflix drama “13 Reasons Why” is filmed, in part, down the road a couple of miles where I used to live - in the city of Vallejo, California.
As the signs in the window indicate, this is a film set and it is a “FAKE PHARMACY.” There is a real pharmacy close by on the same street in an equally charming old building – causing no end of confusion for residents and visitors alike. I guess someone hoped some signage would help.

Why bother replacing a fence if you can just add a few new posts? This photo was taken last November before the first snowstorm. HFF
When he was younger, our son was afraid to step over the threshold to go outdoors. At the time, we did not know about his autism, that diagnosis came later. Try as we might, he would always resist going out and to see what the world had to offer. He was afraid. In time we learned that his fears were based in the uncertainty of what was out there. Home was his safe area. He could relax. Everything was in its place.
To help him, I encouraged him to look out through the window. His window. It was safe looking out from indoors and when he felt unwell through the many, many seizures he is tormented by, just getting to the window is a major effort for him. Through the window was a world he could familiarise himself with.
Supported by myself to point out the various aspects of our garden, or nearby landmarks which were visible, his confidence grew. Familiarity of what he saw became routine. This accepted routine enabled the next step, to cross the threshold.
Encouraged to use my old camera, our son eagerly took pictures from his bedroom window, or the living room window and we ventured into the garden to look at what he had pictured up close. A new world opened up to him. Gradually we ventured further and pictured all that we saw.
‘Marc’s Window’ has become an intervention to help our son overcome both fears and pain and help focus his mind to prevent it searching out those dark places.
This success I share as it may just help someone have a similar idea.
This is why i love taking photos. To capture the pure beauty of nature.
Taken in Hertfordshire.

I think about how it might have been
We'd spend out days travelin'
It's not that I don't understand you
It's not that I don't want to be with you
But you only wanted me
The way you wanted me
So, I will head out alone, hope for the best
And we hang our heads down
As we skip the goodbyes
And you can tell the world what you want them to hear
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
So, I'm up for the little white lies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
From coast to coast, or where ever I find my place
I'll track you on the radio, and
I'll sign your list in a different name
But as close as I get to you
It's not the same
So, I will head out alone, hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back
As say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, you're still there
I'm gone, you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
So, steal the show, and do your best
To cover the tracks that I have left
I wish you well and hope you find
Whatever you're looking for
The way I might've changed my mind,
But you only showed me the door
So, I will head out alone, hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back
And say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
We can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I, you and I, you and I know the reason why

Ma perché? Che divertimento è togliere la vita ai pochi animali che ancora vivono liberi?
Il Governo italiano ha permesso la caccia anche nelle zone umide, e ora partirà dall'Europa una procedura d'infrazione che pagheranno tutti i cittadini.
Inquinamento di piombo nelle zone umide, caccia a specie protette... ma perché?
But why? What fun is it to take the lives of the few animals that still live free?
The Italian Government has also allowed hunting in humid areas, and now an infringement procedure will start from Europe that all citizens will pay.
Lead pollution in wetlands, hunting of protected species... but why?
Everything passes away ̶ suffering, pain, blood, hunger, pestilence. The sword will pass away too, but the stars will still remain when the shadows of our presence and our deeds have vanished from the earth. There is no man who does not know that. Why, then, will we not turn our eyes toward the stars? Why?
-----------------------
Alles wird vergehen: Leiden, Qualen, Hunger, Blut und Massensterben. Das Schwert wird verschwinden, aber die Sterne werden auch dann noch da sein, wenn von unseren Leibern und Taten auf Erden kein Schatten mehr übrig ist, Die Sterne aber werden immer so da sein, schön und flimmerig. Es gibt keinen Menschen, der das nicht wüsste. Warum also wollen wir unseren Blick nicht zu den Sternen erheben? Warum?
