In late March England is awash with daffodils, they are everywhere . In gardens, parks, on roundabouts and the verges in the countryside. Given that ; it is almost superfluous to post a shot of some daffodils.
However there just has to be at least one post to celebrate the 2021 crop. These are just a few of the hundreds in my garden . The thing about daffodils it does not seem to matter how common they are every March they always give the spirit a lift

Short Eared Owl - Asio flammeus
Over much of its range, short-eared owls occurs with the similar-looking long-eared owl. At rest, the ear-tufts of long-eared owl serve to easily distinguish the two (although long-eared owls can sometimes hold its ear-tufts flat). The iris-colour differs: yellow in short-eared, and orange in long-eared, and the black surrounding the eyes is vertical on long-eared, and horizontal on short-eared. Overall the short-eared tends to be a paler, sandier bird than the long-eared.
The short-eared owl occurs on all continents except Antarctica and Australia; thus it has one of the most widespread distributions of any bird. A. flammeus breeds in Europe, Asia, North and South America, the Caribbean, Hawaii and the Galápagos Islands. It is partially migratory, moving south in winter from the northern parts of its range. The short-eared owl is known to relocate to areas of higher rodent populations. It will also wander nomadically in search of better food supplies during years when vole populations are low.
Hunting occurs mostly at night, but this owl is known to be diurnal and crepuscular as well. Its daylight hunting seems to coincide with the high-activity periods of voles, its preferred prey. It tends to fly only feet above the ground in open fields and grasslands until swooping down upon its prey feet-first. Several owls may hunt over the same open area. Its food consists mainly of rodents, especially voles, but it will eat other small mammals such as mice, ground squirrels, shrews, rats, bats, muskrats and moles. It will also occasionally predate smaller birds, especially when near sea-coasts and adjacent wetlands at which time they attack shorebirds, terns and small gulls and seabirds with semi-regularity. Avian prey is more infrequently preyed on inland and centers on passerines such as larks, icterids, starlings, tyrant flycatchers and pipits.

Some of the colorful rocks behind the wave or below the TopRock are particularly photogenic when they are reflected in the water, as here.

Revisited this small lake close to my home on a frosty and snow day in January 2023. The last time, when I was on location, it was quite some years ago. It was summer and the lake was completely dry. What a different view this day! Looking forward to my next visit.

I recently rediscovered this beautiful old graveyard in Windsor, Ontario. As I wandered around on this sunny fall afternoon, I was thinking about these departed souls. As I begin my ‘golden years’, I’m reminded how quickly time goes and the need, even more then ever, to cherish every moment.
The Patwon Ji ki Haveli is the most important and the largest haveli, as it was the first erected in Jaisalmer. It is not a single haveli but a cluster of 5 small havelis. The first in the row is also the most popular, and is also known as Kothari's Patwa Haveli. The first among these was commissioned and constructed in the year 1805 by Guman Chand Patwa, then a rich trader of jewellery and fine brocades, and is the biggest and the most ostentatious. Patwa was a rich man and a renowned trader of his time and he could afford and thus order the construction of separate stories for each of his 5 sons. These were completed in the span of 50 years. All five houses were constructed in the first 60 years of the 19th century.[13] Patwon Ji Ki is renowned for its ornate wall paintings, intricate yellow sandstone-carved, gateways and archways
Five years ago, this tiny furry creature arrive to our place, and made it brighter.
We called her Momo, after the character from the Michael Ende's book. Immediately, she made a special bond with our younger kid. And she has grown-up, and we are all happy.
"It starts in the morning
When you're lying next to me
I'm rolling, I'm rolling
I'm rolling so quickly
Now I'm not a doctor
And I'm not a lawyer
I get a prescription and set it on fire
Blow me a kiss
I'll be happy for the rest of my life
And I'm so happy 'cause you're so happy
I'm so happy 'cause you're so happy..."

Thanks for all the fav's and comments all year. I'm looking forward to the new year so I can see all of your wonderful images
RKO_8679. Sad news about Loonkito, one of the oldest lions at Amboseli and probably in the whole world. Together with 10 other lions he was killed by herders (shepherds) following a human-wildlife conflict where the lions killed some cattle and a dog. How can we prevent such tragedies in the future?
I took this image during my last trip to Kenya in November 2022. Loonkito was 19 years old when killed. Male lions normally live up to 10 years in the wild.

Six seconds to immortalize Albion Falls, surrounded by beautiful Fall colors. Three years ago we visited them for the first time, and we wanted to visit them again.
With our good friend Bill Shotton we went there and enjoyed a memorable moment seeing them, listening to them and photographing them.

I wish you a great day. The previous weekend of Christmas is here!

This old bridge was beautiful but difficult to get a shot of. I wanted to make the clutter a part of the picture but there was just so much, and then the harsh sunlight. I had to work a bit to come up with this. I'll be shure to get back to this subject.
A Thousand Years - Sting
A thousand years, a thousand more
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths
A million names but only one truth to face
A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point, this single flame
This single haunted memory of your face
I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
And on and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
'Til you love me
Happy Tenth Birthday to Macro Mondays! Congrats to all involved in starting and continuing to organise and moderate the group.
Time flies by, it's already late spring and I'm still posting the autumn photos. I'm not even mad. I've discolored this one a little bit, it seem like a hundred years from then. Time flies by, not very fast, when you can't do anything and you're just hybernating to get through the time to another realm...

Years later the earth recovers. I was at Yellowstone in the early 1990's right after the major fire in 1988. The landscape was surreal. I returned some 25 years later to see the recovery and the rebirth. It was a quieting moment for me to not just see the recovery, but to see how long the recovery was taking. I was barely a man on my first trip and feel like a half a lifetime has passed since then. Healing take a long time. This would was from just a fire. I struggle at times to think of what the recovery will be if we attack the air, water and earth they way our current legislators seem bent on doing.
Hope that you enjoy your Saturday.
Four years ago today, I lost my wife, the best friend I ever had.
Give this a listen as you hopefully, enjoy the photo

God's given us years of happiness here
Now we must part
And as the angels come and call for you
The pains of grief tug at my heart
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Oh the days will be empty
The nights so long without you my love
And when god calls for you I'm left alone
But we will meet in heaven above
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Fond memories I'll keep of happy ways
That on earth we trod
And when I come we will walk hand in hand
As one in heaven in the family of god
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Give your gal/fella a big hug. Take your kids somewhere fun. Time is the most valuable, and scarcest, resource you'll ever have. Make the most of it. You're not promised tomorrow.

Two years ago I was in Mexico, and there I visited the Huesteca Potosina, a sort of tropical area in Mexico, and in this area there were a lot of waterfalls.
I earlier posted several shots of the Tamul waterfall (fi www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/53437404898/in/datepo...), but these are the Micos waterfalls.
This is only the smallest part of the falls, the larger ones were more upstream but I prefer this shot, that is more scenic.
After well over 60 years of taking photo's I can honestly say you never get bored with it... even after another dark, grey day we got the a glimpse of a sunset tonight. Notice f/0 and 0.0mm - that's because I used a manual only Extension Tube.
with my best friend!!!
I remember our wedding like yesterday, so many years have passed... with many pounds later, lots of wrinkles and gray hair and in David's case, a loss of hair...
but we are so very blessed with a beautiful family and three amazing grandchildren...
Life is good and I hope it continues for many, many more years to come!!!

Today its now 3 years ago when i posted my first picture here on Flickr, thanks for all the support over the time!!
It's fascinating, I've visited this staircase several times. This is a picture from the first visit over 4 years ago.
Today, without remembering that I had already selected the picture back then to edit it, without knowing it, I selected it a second time.
When I had finished editing it, I found this old, finished edition from back then. I liked the picture and frame of the old picture better.
Nevertheless, I then tried to bring the reworking in the same direction and then also took over the old framework.
If the second attempt is as good as the first, or if the images are similar in quality, I don't know. In any case I find that they are very different despite all the similarity ... and therefore brought them both ...
4 years ago I decided to publish the photo upside down ...
this time I decided to take the original alignment ...
