The neighbours cat sitting on our kitchen window ledge trying to make us feel guilty and let her in! I took this from above, leaning out of my bedroom window, which was slightly precarious to say the least!
Thanks for all the kind comments and favs on yesterday's wild flower shot and enjoy your weekend :)
I woke up this morning to the lovely sound of robins singing. It made me think of this little one from last year. He went right from the nest, to the deck, to my bedroom windowsill, looking in instead of out at the world.
Some succulents and lichens growing on a windowledge at Timoleague Friary. The ledge was quite high up and the tallest of these was only about 2.5 cms / 1 inch

I have been so busy and lacking a bit for inspiration. My husband bought me some tulips, which are my favorite flower for Valentine's Day. I was sitting there gazing at then and noticed the little drops in the glass and thought it was very pretty. It gave me the push I needed to take some pictures. :)
There are days when you feel lonely. That is the day you would like your friends to be around. Some days you have friends and some days you do not.
Just sit and wait. Hope and pray without dismay.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday

I keep this shell (that was picked up from the beach) on my windowledge in front of my PC, and it looked so beautiful with the sun shining through it this morning, I had to take a picture!
Anthony DiNozzo, Very Special Agent of NCIS, came back.
Last time we saw him it was in April. He is wild and lives in woods.
He arrived this morning with the soil covered by frost and with temperature was -3°C/26,6°F.
Ziva David was waiting for him on the windowsill ♥ (inside)
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

The Special Agents of NCIS, are together again at the window.
Ziva David is inside home and Anthony DiNozzo stands outside on the window ledge ♥
The plant is the one I bought recently, of which I've recently uploaded a couple of abstracty macro photos.
My two cousins who have been visiting us since the end of last week have now departed back to Northumberland so I've put my 'tour guide head' back in the cupboard...until Saturday when two more cousins arrive for four days. No rest for the wicked, eh?
Found on the window ledge outside my home office. I live surrounded by a heavily wooded county park, and the noise from thousands (millions?) of cicadas is deafening. You can even see the smaller wings underneath the larger outer wings. Amazing structure of the wings. Their bodies are so big, they can’t really fly that far or that accurately.
A huge apology to everyone yet again for my longish absence.
For several months it's been just one mini crisis after another so my photography more or less had to go on hold.
I can't say with any certainty that I will be any more efficient in my postings, so I will just do as and when....
Fortunately my interest hasn't waned , but unfortunately I'm getting a bit desperate to have my cataracts done as it's almost impossible to get the focus right with any certainty!
It's my own fault as it's something I kept putting off cos I'm a cowardy-custard! Now the lockdowns are here I could have to wait a year apparently! Oh my .....
I'm not complaining as I know everyone is suffering one way or another, so I'm counting my blessings.
Anyway - as you've probably guessed , this is another from my archives ! I changed the original to black and white to show the various reflections more and I also curved the lines of the blind behind to give a bit of surrealism.
Feral Pigeon / columba livia domestica. Private site, Derbyshire. 25/09/15.
Glorious evening sunlight and this pair of Feral Pigeons are making the most of it and doing some pair-bonding as well.
The hen bird on the left is revealing her bare brooding patch very clearly.
If he knows what I know this Little lads, going to groomers on the 7th July, so he will get a bath then Ha!!!!😂

ILLUSIONS
Wisteria on a window sill; peeling paint inside
beauty on the outside; pain contained within.
Timeless faded grandeur; true nature reaches out;
divided by transparent walls; secured by secret pins.
Ethereal light and palest mauve; red muted in the dark;
the blossoms of a different world will always light my heart,
as I inhale the musky scent, that sets my soul on fire;
release a long-held memory; recall a sultry night,
I hear a sound of tinkling bells; a call of distant drums;
a whispered sweetness in my ear, before I close my eyes.
I fall into the deepest sleep and dream of harps and choirs;
of angels, minstrels, knights and realms; of jesters, larks and lyres.
An archer strikes, with cupid's bow, the centre of my heart,
before I taste that one sweet kiss; I wake up with a start.
Reality it seems to me is what we can create,
but also we can choose to dream and leave the rest to fate …

A collection of old jars and bottles stir memories of kitchen life in years gone by at Speke Hall. Liverpool.
This green woodpecker is my new workmate. He/she comes into the garden just outside my window. What a lovely way to spend a lunch break, leaning on the windowledge taking pictures and admiring the little beauty.
Another moment of madness!
Placed this little chair into the pot-plant standing on the bath room window-ledge.
Waited for a bit more sunlight and took a couple of photographs.
Some post-processing - infra-red simulation, a bit of sharpening because after all this is a soft-focus lens, and this is a result.

A view of one of the small downstairs rooms inside the Medieval building. Note the thickness of the wall. The window looks out onto the cottage garden at the rear of the property. There are five rooms in the building, the upstairs bedrooms are accessed by very narrow winding stairs.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
HWW! I’m so happy to see these Amaryllis blooming next to the miniature orange tree at my daughter’s family home
4th September 2019:
A wet and grey morning, but as I was stuck at home, it didn't really matter. Other than wondering what on earth I could take for today.
Saved by the weather (for once), the sun came out at about lunch time, so I soon as I'd had something to eat, I was out.
An enjoyable walk and I found a lovely bowl of fruit sitting on a window ledge. Sadly too far away to reach it, which is probably why the owner puts them there!
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
Will catch up tomorrow, getting late here and I need an early night.
i stood still for a second, like the cone. something small, fallen, maybe forgotten. a trace of joy. or just the end of it. on a ledge in palma’s old town, where echoes and laughter dry faster than ice cream.
Please check out my profile, and catch some more shots over on todays NEW Blog updates :))

It's been a wet and wild week -- it's been pouring with rain since Sunday night and even though there have been brief breaks in the storms, it's so muddy and soggy outside, I think I'd ruin my shoes if I tried walking around in search of an outdoor shot! So, today, I decided to bring a little "spring" indoors with some daisies and placed them in my favorite blue bottles.

Just another coffee to keep me warm and whilst looking out the window the rain is still pouring down!!
Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone!
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
A Thick Legged Flower Beetle ~ Oedemera nobilis on one of our window ledges.
Not that great a photo; I need to relearn how to take better ones!
Maybe view large, but thank you for your favourites. :)
We had sunshine yesterday!
Using four wooden blocks I supported a sheet of clear perspex on a window-ledge. I wanted to backlight the bottles but exclude the view through the window., so, I covered the glass with a piece of white foam sheeting that a long time ago I thought might come in useful!
Just then a case of arranging the bottles so that they didn't fall over and looked 'more or less' vertical, adjusting the exposure and pressing the shutter button. Not quite because this was a hand-held shot and depth of field wasn't great!
Some post-processing to get the subtlety of colour.
All five bottles were discarded or reclaimed from rubbish.
