Another mix

I've wanted to move house for some time. A couple of places I'd like to go, at the moment, are not possible. Somewhere else, that is very possible, is not exactly where I want to be.


Why is life so bloody complicated?





Grey Heron






Musk Thistle







Dark Green Fritillary







Viper's-bugloss







Chalkhill Blue







and finally




Corn Bunting






Enjoy your day/week 



See you at Birdfair

Beautiful, Keith. I especially enjoyed the two butterfly images. Well done.

Life is all about these crazy choices - some end up taking you to places you never expected! How on Earth did I end up in Australia!

Good luck with the problem solving!

A great mix Keith...[;o)

What's all this moving malarky then?

holdingmoments said...

Thanks Linda. :-)

Thanks Stewart. I've had enough of travelling........I think. ;-)

Cheers Trevor. An opportunity, but not sure.

ADRIAN said...

Superb set.......You've not picked up yet another ASBO surely.
Get a camper and go where you like.

holdingmoments said...

Adrian, a camper is tempting.
I've too much junk to get rid of at the moment though.

Bob Bushell said...

Well well, a time to get you moving on, maybe it's Wales, I am guessing.
Love the butterflies.

holdingmoments said...

Bob, that would be good :-)

i hope your #1 choice opens up for you soon.

A lovely selection there Keith. Love the heron (of course!) and very envious of the Dark Green Fritillary which totally eludes me despite apparently going to the 'right' places, this abysmal weather doesn't help of course :-(

So my suspicions a while ago weren't too wide of the mark then ;-) I hope things work out as you want eventually. I often think I would like to move but the thought of trying to get the house into a fit state to interest a buyer defeats me...

holdingmoments said...

Thanks Jan.
The move thing is quite a dilemma at the moment.

John said...

Another very nice mix Keith!
Life is full of 'annoying' occurrences and pain in the rear end complications, but hopefully it all gets sorted in the end! :)

That heron in flight is amazing.

Sondra said...

IF I can give any advice, hold out for what YOU WANT..dont settle! Life is too short for that.
Lovely photos as always...Brilliant color in the flowers and butterflies!!
GOOD LUCK!

holdingmoments said...

Thanks John.

Thank you JoLynne.

Thanks Sondra.
Good advice.

The heron shot is spectacular, and the bunting is a new one to me and so cute. The thistle shot is also gorgeous, well darn it they are all beautiful. I seem to be indecisive just about the pictures, hope your housing issues sort themselves out.

holdingmoments said...

Thanks Gillian :-)

KaHolly said...

Awesome series of photos - so sharp and colorful. Hope you find the right path. I picked up and relocated not so long ago - to where I wanted to be. There were certainly sacrifices (still are, for that matter). Just have to make it happen. Stuff, you say? Ha, I just left it behind:) ~karen

Hilary said...

Herons are among my favourite birds so it's a treat to see one here today. Lovely photos, one and all.

holdingmoments said...

Thanks Karen.
Good to hear you made the right choice.

Thank you Hilary. :-)

Chris said...

That's a beautiful mix Keith and that Heron shot is wonderful!

holdingmoments said...

I need to sort some more pictures out soon.
