“What is the matter, Sky, you look concerned?” Asked Posh Bear
Sky sat down beside his friends clearly concerned about something.
“We may have a honey supply problem, Posh.” He said looking around at his friends.
“Why is that, Sky? I thought you were ordering extra this delivery because of the party for that birthday we are not talking about.” Said Bertie staring at Barnaby.
“Well, the man has changed his supplier; something to do with parachutes I think I heard him say. Anyway, I ordered all those jars of honey like you said, Posh, but they only delivered a few. What is more they sent all these parachutes, which, I hasten to report that I sent back.”
“Parachutes, what are they?” Asked Barnaby looking around.
“Well, if the shop doesn’t have what you ordered, Barnaby, they deliver these parachutes rather than send nothing at all. Sometimes they are fine, but what they sent us were no good at all.” Explained Sky.
“You mean substitutes, Sky, parachutes are large pieces of cloth that enable things to descend to the ground gently from up high.” Said Bertie.
“Right, well these parachutes descended from the air and landed right on our order and they are no good. I asked the driver what was in the jars and he said peanut butter, and as they ran out of that, they made the order up with some stuff called lemon curd. What is even more strange, the driver seemed in a state of shock as he told me what they had sent. Anyone would think that he had never spoken to a bear before.”
“Sounds disgusting, Sky, so pleased you sent it all back. As for the driver being in shock, I guess he was just disappointed he couldn’t deliver all our honey. I’m sure he speaks to bears every day. Well, back to the problem and we will have to persuade the man to go back to the place he was ordering from as they kept lots of honey especially for us.” Said Posh Bear.
“I don’t think he will, Posh, he was fed up with all the parachutes he was getting. We did get some honey but not enough for the birthday party we don’t talk about.” Explained Sky.
“Can’t you just order for us from the old supplier, Sky?” Asked Bertie.
“Difficult, Bertie. You see I wait for the man to do his order then I tack what we want on the end of it. I meet the driver at the front door and take our stuff and then send him along to the back door with the things for the man. When ordering, the man must use this piece of plastic before they will send the goods, it is very complicated with his talking thing sending a message and lots of numbers. Without all that, the store won’t deliver for I have tried before.” Explained Sky.
“I still say the best plan is to persuade the man to go back to where he used to buy the groceries from. That should not be too difficult.” Said Posh Bear.
“How do you think we can do that though, Posh Bear?” Asked Bertie.
“Simple, when Sky adds our items to the order, if Sky was to then add numbers by the things the man had on order so he received far too much, that should put him off this supplier.” Said Posh Bear.
“Do you think it will work, Posh?” Asked Barnaby.
“It always has in the past.” Said Posh Bear. “I just can’t think what gets in to hoomans at times.”
“I agree, Posh, imagine having to eat parachutes like those that were sent to us.” Said Barnaby.
“Yes, Barnaby, just imagine!”
The book that is open is called Bearing Up and is illustrated by Mike Johnson. The page says, “I’m not going to worry unless the animals start lining up two by two for the space shuttle.”
You and I
filled the earth
and it overflowed
with lives not lived
just wind in grass
and through leaves
dead but not fallen
we shiver and shake
and loosen our grip
our youth slipping silently
away

Or perhaps I should ask "How do you take pictures in the pouring rain without getting shmutz on your lens?" I know "Practice, practice practice."

#3 Real is Emotional
"Why does being real hurt so much?" asked Harper.
"I think humans feel the emotions of nature. It's kind of magical really. The willow weeps, but never sheds a tear, the hyena laughs, but never smiles and the dandelion carries hope yet knows of no tomorrow. Humans carry the weight of nature so nature can be beautiful."
"It is rather tiring Mr. Rabbit," announced Harper.
"That's what power naps are for."
I asked ChatGPT to write a caption for this photo from Sunday afternoon, and this is what it came up with:
"Fly me to the moon! 🚀✈️✨ United Airlines Flight 1844 took to the skies at 34,000 feet and 480 knots, soaring past the 30% illuminated Waxing Moon. A breathtaking moment captured over the Space Coast of Florida. #UnitedAirlines #Boeing737Max9 #Moonshot"

Ask ten inhabitants of Ghent what the most beautiful place in their city is and nine will answer the Graslei. Today this medieval port with its unique row of historical buildings, which are reflected in the long river, is the meeting place par excellence. Young and old, inhabitant and visitor, everyone meets on one of the many café patios or simply by the waterfront. You could also take a canal cruise in one of the ferries lined along this waterfront. A ride that would introduce you to the history of this city. The house of the Grain Weighers, the Guildhall of the Free Boatmen, the Spijker… every house on the Graslei has its own history. Together they form the story of the incredible blossoming of Ghent’s economy during the Middle Ages.
I couldnt get the shot I wanted because it started pouring right after I had taken this picture, so this was the best I could get before my umbrella cracked ;-)
Hope you like it.,

Sessizdi çığlıklar yılgındı anılar
Bir türkü dillerinde, bir de çocuksu kayboluşlar...
Anlattı kendini bir rüzgar, devirdaim yapraklar...
Yorgundu taşlar bilhassa yıkık duvarlar...
Gardını alamamış alevli yalnızlıklar kol gezerdi
Volta atardı anılar, birer birer...
Sessiz, usulca çekilirdi hasretler
Ufacık taşların arasında bir yer bulup bakardı bizlere...
Anılar geçit vermişti işte
anlatıyordu kendilerini
bir hüzünlü yollar...
Sitemkar duvarlar...
Sessizlikte size yankılanan sesler karşılardı sizi...
"Bakmak ve görmek senin bu yollarda hayalini
Bana gülüşünü, sıcacık hasretini
Oysa şimdi yok sevdanın timsali...
Yar gitmiş, benden gideli..."
Acıyla tutunan bir söz duyarcasına mihnetle bir bakış şu sokağa...
Bir duyuş sessizliğin hakimiyetini bir bozmaya sebebiyet
..
Bakış ,bir görüş kör olan duygulara...
Bir anlatış dillendirmeye bir haber...
Yapboz olmuştu o an sevdanın külleri
Yürekten döküldü ya bir hüzün gülleri
Meçhule karıştı şimdi kalbin kavisleri
Göremez olmuştu aşkın gözleri...

I got a text from some little tattletale that some of the little bears were having an adventure, but when I saw where they were, I thought it was an opium den! OH NO!!
I HAD to ask when they got home because I was SO worried.
"So . . . where have you guys been?" I asked.
"Oh, just out, Mama," said Freya.
"Well, you are going to have to do better than that, you four. Have you been to an opium den?" I started to cry.
"Oh, Mama! Why every would you think that?!! Of course we have not been to an opium den!"
"Then where have you been, and what is in that silver box that Pip has? I have been sick with worry."
Four little bears giggled.
"Oh my! You DO have a big imagination, Mama! What is an opium den, anyway?! We have been to a new tea room- very modern and relaxing, and it's just for tiny bears!! Pip has tea in the little silver box! It's special, and we bought it there so we could bring it home and share it with you!"
"I am SO sorry I doubted you! A Mama always worries! I love you so much!" I said, as I got four little hugs.
"We love you, too, Mama! We are good little bears, so don't worry!"
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday!

One of my contacts/friends Nathan - his website - pwtphotography.com/ - knows I've been searching unsuccessfully for a snowy owl all winter. I think he felt sorry for me - LOL! He contacted me last night to tell me about a Great Horned Owl that was roosting on the exact same tree as last winter when he first located him. He gave me blow by blow instructions to get to his tree in Barrie. It was cloudy but I thought I would quickly check it out to see if I could locate the owl. We found the path and when we were close to the bottom of the hill - man servant turns to me and asks "Did you bring the instructions" I didn't and I ask everyone "What the heck is a man servant for if not to remember things like that"!! Just then, we heard someone behind us - what great timing - Nathan was just heading down to see if the owl was still there - so he led me right to this beautiful raptor. We stood under the tree chatting and taking pix and the owl would look at us every once in a while. He even moved to the open (see next pix) when he spotted a squirrel. ISO very high because it was dark - but so what WHO cares!! Didn't stay too long because I didn't want to stress the owl out - didn't seem to but WHO knows! Thank you Nathan for sharing this wonderful find.
Sometimes I lay down
No more can I do
But then I go on again
Because you ask me to

Baby dino asked, "What are we celebrating?"
Papa dino said, "I dunno. Maybe we're celebrating... the fact that there are gifts! --Anyhow we're definitely way ahead of our time."

Recently my daughter told me she found a bookstore that sold old books and she wanted to take me there...priceless. We went a few days later and she found, buried among the stacks, Go Ask Alice. The author was Anonymous and that intrigued her enough to want to read it. I knew some things about that book but wanted her discover it for herself so said nothing. She devoured it in 2 days and after she finished it today said she thought it was really great. I then told her there are some people who think that it is a fiction written by an adult not the diary of a teen going through drug addiction. She said she feels it's definitely a teenager's words and it seems very real to her. That the book spoke to her and had an impact on her is really the important part. I left it at that.
