On Good Friday we remember the day Jesus willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins (1 John 1:10). It is followed by Easter, the glorious celebration of the day Jesus was raised from the dead

Picked up a hardly used, prime condition 70-200, f/2.8 lens and did some focus test shots. Shots recorded inside in available window light
Much to my surprise, folks were quite willing to have their picture taken. I motioned to this fellow with my camera and he was more than happy to allow me a few snaps.
Not sure if I'd be so willing, but then I've not been asked to this point :)

The Cedar Waxwing was calling from this single open branch. Often feeding in trees with fruit or blossoms, this one took an open spot and allowed me to grab a few shots.

Got this texture from ishkamina who's so awesome to share an entire folder filled with free textures. Bless those so willing to share :-)

Wanna be the air every time you breathe
Running through your veins and the spaces in between
I wanna feel your heart every time it bleeds
Living in your brain, there's only room for me, so
Say goodbye to every other girl in the night behind you
Now you're mine, tell me what you're willing to sacrifice, ooh
Are you willing to sacrifice your individuality to become one of the many?
"Obey to the system
They wanna hold on your mind
Your mind is the land to invade
Your mind is the land to detain
Selling the truth is their business that we buy"

Once there was a man with good intentions
And some people at home he forgot to mention
She was looking for a friend and he was willing to listen
Once there was a man with good intentions
And nobody has to know
It's all right, it's all right to let go
And nobody has to see
What's between you and me
Is you and me
(Is you and me)
Once there was a girl who thought she needed to be saved
By a white knight on a white horse in a white cape
Maybe he's taken but you'll take him anyway
Once there was a girl who thought shе needed to be saved
And nobody has to know
It's all right, it's all right to lеt go
And nobody has to see
What's between you and me
Is you and me
(Is you and me)
I don't wanna change your mind
But I don't wanna go home tonight
Tell me no or I'm coming over
Let the devil make a deal with the angel on your shoulder
“Thank goodness for the first snow, it was a reminder--no matter how old you became and how much you'd seen, things could still be new if you were willing to believe they still mattered.”

Because this Blue Tiger Butterfly stayed on the Cornflower for a long time, I had the opportunity to look for various background colours. The purple halo comes from a Brunfelsia flower.
For people willing to make the long walk along the Upper Iowa River through some of the most scenic karst topography in Iowa, finally seeing Malanaphy Springs falling into the river is frosting on the cake.
Columbines are hardy flowers that grow in a range of adverse conditions up to an elevation of 9000 ft, therefore they’re symbols of endurance, perseverance and the willingness to take risks.

Johnny's always running around
Trying to find CERTAINTY
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't LONELY
Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily
Johnny thinks the world would be right
If it could buy truth from him
Mary says he changes HIS MIND
More than a woman
But she made her bed
Even when the CHANCE was slim
Running around
Running around
Johnny says he's willing to learn
when he decides he's a FOOL
Johnny says he'd live anywhere
When he earns time -
Mary combs her hair
Says she should be USED TO it
Mary always hedges her bets
She NEVER knows what to think
She says that he still acts like he's being discovered
Scared that he'll be caught
Without a second thought
Running around
Running around
Running around
Running around
Johnny feels he's wasting his BREATH
Trying to talk sense to her
Mary says he's lacking a real SENSE of proportion
So she combs her hair
Knows he tires easily -
Johnny's always running around
and always willing to pose even at 20+ years old!
When my daughter was around 8-10 years old (she's now 31)... she wanted this tiny little plant that was in a small clay pot to keep in her room.... and she named it Harold.
Years later, she went off to collage and I cared for him... he has branched off and also graduated into a larger clay pot!!

Prothonotary Warbler ~ (Protonotaria citrea)
Water levels are very high along the Hillsborough River in my area and my local park is partly underwater. Finding willing subjects has been a bit challenging! I did find this Prothonotary Warbler near the trail that almost seemed to be showing off its catch to me
Thanks for visiting!
One of the best people that I have the pleasure to know in second life. And I'm grateful for calling him of Brother, hermano, Irmão. Always kind, sweet, worried and willing to help. And I am very proud of all the steps you have taken, whether SL or RL. All you have is your merit. I love you, Bro! Te quiero Hermano! Te amo porra!
Fynn isn't a very willing photo model these days, he probably thinks that this is Filou's job now. If I'm lucky I manage a quick snapshot before he notices what I'm doing. The heather is one of his favourite spots in the garden which is the reason why some of the plants are quite flat now.
I took this image back in the summer of 2016. It was a short trip together with my girlfriend who was willing to wait :)
Thanks for watching!
The only car that I saw the whole time Besides myself this person was willing to bravve the elements.
... I think it is is a Least Sandpiper.... but i am willing to settle for a Western Sandpiper if that is the case... This is the one I spent the evening with on Thursday... what a lovely little bird , this image does not really give a sense of how tiny they are... they were feeding on the shore and at first they flew away when they saw me arriving with my big gear but in no time they realized I was a friend as my presence made the crows go away ... so they thought, I was not a bad evil after all ... but boy, they did not make my photography any easier I had forgotten how they never stop when they are feeding, you have to be quick on the shutter.... most time our friendly relationship made it even harder to get a shot as they were coming to close to me for the minimum focus distance on my lens. Update... so Western Sandpiper it is and not Least Sandpiper.
This will be the only other Iris photo I will show. The rest of them had focus problems I just couldn't live with.
I had a really difficult time telling, through the viewfinder, when it was in focus properly (my lenses are so old and beat up, they won't auto-focus anymore... well ONE lens won't... the other one won't manual focus. sigh.)
So here is the other iris shot I was willing to share. I has focus issues too, but not as bad.
Alison, below, says the colors are off the scale... she meant it is beautiful, but I realize the colors really ARE off the scale. However, I like it that way, so vivid!
I'm willing to bet that this is the only photo of this place on the entire internet, because it's an absolute bitch to get to (it's also technically on private land, but we have arrangement). I'm running out of little waterfalls now that are within walking distance of my house (I only know of 2 other ones that I haven't already posted pictures of), however this one won't be repeated anytime soon because of the difficulty of getting there. However if we get another storm or a lot of rain in a short space of time again, this is the first place I'm going to go to!
"Still, what I want in my life is to be willing to be dazzled,
to cast aside the weight of facts
and maybe even to float a little above this difficult world.
I want to believe I am looking
into the white fire of a great mystery.
I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing
— that the light is everything…"

Tofu is generally a very cooperative cat but his willingness to cooperate ends as soon as I need to get hold of him for whatever reason and he knows it. In such moments he tends to disappear deep in the greenery of the garden which forces me to crawl under shrubs and through the mud to reach him while Tofu just sits there and watches me. As soon as I'm close enough to catch him Tofu will (of course) dart past me and find another hideout. That kind of "game" can go on for quite a while, it's very funny for Tofu and rather exasperating for me. :)
