Looking close on Friday theme: Wise Words
Thanks for views, faves and comments. 😊
"Novus ordo seclorum" is a Latin phrase that means "A new order of the ages (is born)." For the Looking Close on Friday group, challenge: wise words. Happy Friday!
The motto Novus ordo seclorum was translated from the Latin by Charles Thomson, a Latin expert who was involved in the design of the Great Seal of The United States and proposed it, as "A new order of the ages." He said it was to signify "the beginning of the new American Era" as of the date of the Declaration of Independence, 1776. This version appears on the back side of the U.S. One Dollar Bill.

Are these wise words, or a warning.... Happy Friday everybody.
...with a strange mix of sunshine and ice!
My February has been dominated by two things - snow and the COVID vaccine! For almost all the month we have been kept at home by the constant wintry weather. Snow, ice, sleet and gales ... it was almost impossible to get out - even for a little exercise! And then there has been the roll-out of the vaccine; and for us it meant braving the weather (as soon as we could) to make the 30 mile round trip to the nearest vaccination centre.
In vaccine terms, as more and more people are getting their first jabs, the focus is beginning to shift. Our first goal was (still is) to drive down the infection numbers in the country, vaccinate as many people as possible - and take the strain off the health services, so we can think about coming out of lockdown.
But there's a new twist to the story, as we are becoming more aware of the number of mutations, new variants of the original virus! This means that the speed of vaccination roll-out matters not only for us, but everywhere! Wherever rates of transmission remain high it is almost inevitable that new variants will emerge.So the pandemic has still got a long way to go, and many more twists and turns!
In photographic terms the winter has proved to be a time of lock-down by nature as well as government! Not much scope to visit the coast, or even closer beauty spots. Shooting the winter garden, the village in snow and ice is mainly as far as I got! So still life and indoor shooting dominated the month.
Once again, thanks to everyone who has visited my photostream and for the comments and faves. I hope the collage gives an enjoyable look back through February ;o)

Looking Close ... on Friday! - Wise Words - 26 Feb 2021.
The words spoken by Captain Sir Tom Moore in April 2020, stating that this was the way he looked at life and is the title of his autobiography.
A national hero and inspiration to the UK, who helped to raise over £32 million for the NHS charities at the start of the pandemic in 2020, leading up to his 100th birthday.
Sadly he died of the virus on 2nd Feb 2021 and his funeral is being held on 27th Feb 2021 (tomorrow).
If you wish to know more about this amazing man and his story read about him on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Tom_Moore

I like the motto found in my neighbour's backyard.
When do you go to bed? I consider it to be sleepless if I cannot get to bed after 9 PM. :o)
When you do get up in the morning? I think having breakfast after 6 AM is too late because I have already fasting for more than 12 hours! :o)
And do you fertilize everyday? I don't.
Have a great Tuesday!
Das, was mir zuerst in den Sinn kam. Ein Lied von Elvis aus dem Film "Kid Galahad" von 1962.
The first thing that came to my mind. A song by Elvis from the 1962 film "Kid Galahad".
"Home is where the heart is,
And my heart is anywhere you are,
Anywhere you are is home."

Wise man says, tears can mature a person, tears can also make you see clearer of the future, so if you want to see it, start staring at this picture till your eyes hurt and you start crying!
Happy weekend peeps! 😜😘🍻

“The dance between darkness and light will always remain— the stars and the moon will always need the darkness to be seen, the darkness will just not be worth having without the moon and the stars.”

“All shadows of clouds the sun cannot hide
like the moon cannot stop oceanic tide;
but a hidden star can still be smiling
at night's black spell on darkness, beguiling”

I had a walk in Britannia Shipyard yesterday and met with this seagull. He looks like a wise bird having good photographic eye and I consulted him about photography.
Man: Do we need 1Dx or D4 to make the best pictures?
Gull: No!
Man: Do we need ISO 204,800?
Gull: No!
Man: Do we need F0.95, F1.2, F1.4 or even F2.8 lenses to make good pictures?
Gull: No!
Man: Do we need Photoshop, Lightroom and RAW?
Gull: No!
Man: Do we need 108 bit, 1,800MP 8" x 12" super-large format sensor?
Gull: No!
I feel something wrong. So I asked a skiill test question.
Man: Are you a seagull?
Gull: No!
Oh no! He is telling all the lies about photography!!
Have a happy happy weekend!
This is my minimalist seagull at Britannia Shipyard.
