I was absorbed in my tunnel vision when I noticed his finger... I finished my shots, raised my head and smiled. After a while he handed me a bus ticket with his name written onto it. He was nice.

Me pongo impaciente cuando llega el amanecer,

absorbo todos los tes de todas las tardes.

Ahora llueve y sigo acá mirando la tormenta,

se acerca y soy una esponja de mar.

Tirados en la cama espero que me digas

que va a ser mejor así, va a a ser mejor asi

“One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.”

–Victor Hugo

-How I wish he moved a couple of inches closer and stopped pretending I 'm not even here...

  

A little story for "Zoom in tight", who asked for it... Problem is I 'm a little naughtier than those masters of storytelling, Alex and Gil!!!

Glacier in Alaska, USA.

 

A highlight of any Alaska journey is being able to see glaciers in action. The ice age is still underway here with an estimated 100,000 glaciers in the state, covering three percent of the landscape and creating most of its rivers. Glaciers are rivers of ice that flow from ice packs high in the mountains, where more snow falls than melts. In constant motion, they can move ahead at speeds of several feet a day, or sudden surges of as much as 300 feet. Some are retreating, or shrinking due to increased melting or a lack of new snow to feed them. The beautiful blue colour associated with glaciers is created by the density of the ice which absorbs all the colours of the spectrum except blue, which is reflected.

 

Tidewater glaciers flow to the sea and are found at the head of fjords or inlets which they carved while retreating. These are the glaciers you can see while on an Alaska cruise when your ship takes you up close to these wonders of nature.

 

Calving occurs when pieces of a tidewater glacier break off and fall into the sea. The creaking sounds associated with calving glaciers and the roar as pieces fall into the sea are as impressive as the visual scene itself.

He is very cute, so absorbed by her. I wonder what is on his mind.

Absorbed in his pollen gathering this busy bee was found in Hole in the Wall country, WY.

Close your eyes. Feel. Listen. Absorb.

Absorbed by the sun!

I still have snow shots from our little bit of snow - not remarkable but fun for those of us in the South who don't get a lot of snow!

Needing a bit of blue sky today, it's been one of those very grey days, like the feeling of lukewarm tea or the fuzzy static when the television stops playing. Some days are just like that.

It can get overwhelming, the news and the realities of everything going on around us all the time. I find that when I have more time to sit and watch the news or scroll through what people are saying, I absorb more and more of it until I'm like a sponge filled up with so much that it has nowhere else to go. That's where days like this come in, those grey days that are sort of the sign that it's time to recharge, empty the sponge, shake out the news and sit in front of the blue skies again.

One thing that an author once shared about these sorts of days is that just because the sun is hiding behind the layers of cloud, it doesn't mean it's not there. It doesn't mean it won't set tonight and rise tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. It's reassuring to remember that when you're having those grey days, that the blue sky days are always there, coming again soon.

Get out, explore and absorb nature!

Special:

- The 32 is basically an improved 600/32 with a bigger and more powerful engine and was redesigned by Johan van der Brugghen (W. van den Brink designed it original in 1955).

- The body was re-styled by Giovanni Michelotti.

- DAF was the first car to have a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) system - the innovative DAF Variomatic: a continuously variable gearbox transmission with an automatic two-stage centrifugal clutch in drum (with "het pientere pookje" - "the smart gear stick").

- An interesting feature: putting the car in reverse reversed the entire drive system. This enabled the vehicle, in theory, to reach the same top speed in reverse as forward.

- Advantage: it was the only small, affordable car with automatic transmission.

- Disadvantage: because the car had an unsportsmanlike image, it had often an "image" for the elderly or disabled people.

- The Series 32 was available as this 2-door Coach, as 2-door Panel Van, as 2-door Estate Wagon and as 2-door Pick-Up.

- They were only assembled in Eindhoven - The Netherlands.

Absorbed in her MacBook, this lady was the feature of many a photograph by passers by in the fabulous British Museum.

 

Twisted the image into something rather minimal, surreal...almost loony!

40 years ago PacMan captured our imaginations. Today's games are infinitely more intricate and next level absorbing. Having gaming so available at any time has it's problems - I think something has been lost when you don't need to scrounge coins and walk to the shops to play.
