No I don't think so!!Do people typically walk around your area with birds of prey perched on their arms?!
Good mud pictures, I’ll bet it brings back a lot of camino memories. I had to push my bike through mud that was nowhere near as bad, but it is impossible (for me anyway) to ride a normal bike when there is even a slight bid of mud.
Richmond Park, near London - a life saver.Hello everyone and Happy New Year!
Looking forward seeing your pictures and stories behind it.
Love the grandson pictures — lucky you, because I am still months away from seeing my little guys. Facetime is nice, but just not the same!Number one grandson has been staying with us again
Bon courage, @alansykes. All the best with the rehab!Always like it when my footprints (and my vizsla Huba's) are first in the fresh snow. Furthest I've so far managed to walk on my new (23 days old) knee. 30 minutes walk from my front door, all off tarmac. In the cloud is a local hill called Tarnmonath.

Hi there @amorfati1 ...Kissing beneath the mistletoe and learning about Druids and ancient civilisations didn't feature in my childhood. That's one reason I'm fascinated with european treescapes and spirituality. I love it when the seasons change and the shape of a tree's 'skeleton' emerges. Black + white photos are perfect for capturing the mystical side of nature. Lately I have been noticing how many frelon nests there are in the woods near where I'm staying. At first, seen from a distance, I thought the nests were mistletoe....good morning - this is one link i found in my files (got other articles on MistleToe, but not in english.)The myths of Mistletoe by Dylan Warren-Davis
Medical Herbalist Dylan Warren-Davis explores the physical and symbolic properties of Mistletoeskyscript.co.uk

on walks here I see them everywhere. As kids we called them 'witches-brooms'. Also very well known/used for medicinal purposes w/ good results/effects. (can attest to that). Quite interesting plants those Mistletoes. Lot's of lore about them too.
best wishes - warmly, C
Hi there, @Camino ChrissyWhat a beautiful tea set!
So cheerful after your foul weather walk...here was my foul weather walk today.

Have you climbed that mountain peak, @Tulle???Today I drove some kilometers for a short walk to admire the boats and enjoy the sun.View attachment 91988
Oh dear no! I am scared of heights, and besides I am too old nowHave you climbed that mountain peak, @Tulle???
But those were pictures of yesterday. No?...... and besides I am too old now
I'm curious about those cobblestones running down the middle of the road. Are they what's left of the original roadway?

I am curious about the difference in upload/display times. Above, the photo by Icacos jumped into view immediately. I have not yet seen the clear photos from Sabine, after waiting for over a minute. I am using a MacBook at this moment. Any ideas? I usually go to the iPad to see photos...
Not relevant. The problem is with downloads and displaying. In order to properly display pictures in the correct places browsers have to know the size of the images, that is to say the height and width not the number of bytes. Webpages that are efficient pass that information along in the same HTML statement that says where the browser is supposed to get the picture from. The software that the forum uses does not do this. That means that the browser must completely download each picture first to determine the height and width. Most likely the browser will attempt to first download the picture that will be shown along with the text that you see. So in @kirkie's case she is seeing the one picture in @Icacos' post first. Then when she scrolls down there are a lot more that have to be shown all at once. That takes more time. Especially over slow connections and/or old software.Curious to hear also. I upload my pics from my cellphone ( Samsung A40 model, don't know if that is relevant? ).
No problem viewing on ipad... maybe it is a setting on my MacBook. And you sure get a lot of mud!Curious to hear also. I upload my pics from my cellphone ( Samsung A40 model, don't know if that is relevant? ).
Hmm: just as the future has accelerated in ways undreamed of, so too the past, so recent, disappeared, returned to their (almost) natural state. Thank you for your informative contributions.The grid plan of the streets and the surviving trees that were planted there are all that remains of the Vancouver Wireless Military Station that existed between 1949 and 1971. A once thriving community, all the buildings were removed when the base was closed. An interesting place to walk in all seasons and a popular place to watch eagles.

...but where are the doggy gloves + coat? Doesn't he need them?View attachment 92285Latest in the “borrowed dog” series. Today we have the beautiful wolf moon and snow covered trail, -26 but no wind.
The picture really doesn’t do Justice to the beautiful condition and full moon.
This dog loves the cold, and is furry enough to not need a coat. He hates the boots, and is 100% happy and frolicking. He is well pampered....but where are the doggy gloves + coat? Doesn't he need them?
Love it!!!View attachment 92507
Wildlife hotel.
Looks like Kinky 1 may be your new neighbor.Lambie would be bleating
Wonderful photos, thank youBlencathra and Skiddaw, two of Cumbria's highest hills, catching the first sun this morning
View attachment 92549
ha ha ha! Perhaps I should rename it.... How about Lambie-Kinks? The black tail has a blond switch on it's end and the left hind hoof has a pretty white ring. I have a video of Lambie-K cavorting beneath the boughs of an evergreen tree, a solitary babe so sweet....Perhaps Kinky-Lamb sounds better??? Yes!Looks like Kinky 1 may be your new neighbor.
These were twin lambs Desdemona and Otello from last year. They had the same mum but one had a Suffolk tup dad and the other a Texel dad. Never happened to me before.ha ha ha!

When I got back there were even more people and some of them had parked their boats just off shoreThis weekend we had a regional holiday on Monday and so it was a long weekend. It is a special holiday for us as two of our children have their birthdays within 5 days.
We headed out to the beach at Shakespeare Regional Park. The kids and grandkids did some beachie stuff and I had a bit of a walk. Unfortunately things get a bit crowded as everyone else has a similar idea.
Here are the photos:

View attachment 92597 Meanwhile the crowds helped me decide to head off for a walk so that I could avoid them
View attachment 92598View attachment 92599Looking to the sky and the Pohutakawas for inspiration I decided to head West looking for more space
View attachment 92600 Initially I found what I was looking for but then
View attachment 92601 I realised that the birds also need their space and so I headed back East.
View attachment 92602 .... I have used up my allocation of files and so this will continue in another post ...
It was so worth while waiting for your photos to show up!After after a whole month I finally have something to share that's different than the view from my corridor that I've been boring everybody with since last April. I watered the garden next to where I walk, and look who came to bathe and drink!:

Sounds and looks like here in HelsinkiYesterday and today my walks consisted of walking around my driveway and walkways...behind the snow blower
As you can see - the car is pretty much buried....and that is after 3 previous passes.... I would say we definitely got a foot of the white stuff and it is still not over
Oh, Kirkie.... thank you for these photos. The monument to the great hunger is one of my most dearly held on the face of the planet. I wish I could make a trek into Toronto, which is near-ish to me, to take pictures of the ”other half” of this monument — on the landing of Irish survivors of the coffin ships — at the lakefront in Toronto.During lockdown my distance is restricted for two reasons, so the following photos have appeared before. Each view is a new one, though. Approaching from behind, the figures are forever frozen in time - aiming for the ship that would take them away from hunger and poverty. Masks have been placed on some of them. Relevant, but still graffiti. The final photo, one of many expressing gratitude to frontline workers.

Today was cold and windy. I stepped out of the building only to turn around and head back indoors with no guilt whatsoever. So, instead I'll add a couple of extra snapshots from yesterday.
*Me on the beach
*I found these two fun painted rocks in the park, similar to geocashing, but not. On the backside of the rocks it says go to FaceBook "Evans Rocks around the world". I'm not on FB, but could still look at all the creative possibilities! People/families creatively paint rocks and place them "wherever". It brings happiness to people who find them...it did me! I saw some were even left in Hawaii and Alaska.

I saw that and wondered, but figured you knew what you were doing.I posted some pictures of our walk today in the wrong thread.
Peg knows not to make YOUR mistake.I saw that and wondered, but figured you knew what you were doing.
Not pathetic. Why would you even think that? Seriously...P.S.I think my pictures are rather pathetic, but they are all I had this time.
My thoughts also. They're a keyhole we can all look through into another reality, seeing as though through your eyes. It may be familiar and ho-hum for you, but it's pretty exotic for the rest of us. The same goes for each of us.Not pathetic. Why would you even think that? Seriously...
Thank you and very true.My thoughts also. They're a keyhole we can all look through into another reality, seeing as though through your eyes. It may be familiar and ho-hum for you, but it's pretty exotic for the rest of us. The same goes for each of us.
I've done daily walks up to 10 miles around London, Highgate Cemetery, St James's Park, West End, Thames Path, though I'm slowly running out of ideas!Hello everyone and Happy New Year!
Looking forward seeing your pictures and stories behind it.
I passed several alligators (I think crocs are saltwater) in the Clay Gully that parallels the trail. The campsite was about a mile from the Clay Gulley. Alligators can wander for miles looking for food and water. Several years ago, I had a group of Boy Scouts out for a wilderness survival clinic. We came across this bad boy on the trail (my son or the gator?Hello @linkster
How far from the hammock was the crocodile? Did you know there were crocodiles present when settling down for the night? Were you scared?????
Cheers
ChrisYesterday on a 5 mile walk in the park I found an unpaved, rather hidden path in the park, so it was kind of a little adventure...not pretty, but scruffy and held my interest. The 3rd picture is of the very long pine needles about 10-12" of the Long Pine tree, used for weaving intricate baskets. Classes are offered to learn the craft.
