Le but initial était de pendre la navette qui effectue la moitié du parcours sur la route de la Chapelle de Clausis.....De là on rejoint un joli petit lac "Lac de la Blanche " ...et le refuge du même nom.(160m de dénivelée plus haut que la chapelle).
Le lac de la Blanche est situé en dessous de la Rocca Bianca 3059 m, à proximité -à gauche - de la Tête des Toillies (ou Tête Noire, 3175 m) et du Pic de Caramantran (3021m)
Du Lac, on a une vue globale sur la vallée de la Blanche, avec en particulier :
à droite : le Pic de Chateau-Renard (2989m), la Pointe des Sagnes Longues (3032m)
à gauche : le Pic de la Farnéiréta (3134m) et la Tête de Longuet (3146m)
On aperçoit aussi le dôme de l'Observatoire de Chateau-Renard.
On se situe là à une des extrémité du Queyras et de la France :
Nous avons déjà fait dans le passé les 2 randos qui mènent:
a) de l'autre côté du Col Blanchet, au dessus du Lac, on est en Italie !
b) à gauche du Lac, derrière le Col de la Noire, on est en Ubaye !
Mais , surprise .... les nouveaux élus au Conseil Municipal ont suspendu la possibilité de navette.....Dommage on aurait gagné 6km sur les 13 km que l'on fera réellement On part donc à pied en sachant que l'on ira jusqu'à la Chapelle seulement...... la dénivelée n'est pas élevée: un petit peu plus de 400 m seulement......mais c'est un peu longuet car demain , nous aurons 900 km de voiture pour rentrer en Normandie ....alors! ! ! ! !
Nouvelle surprise , alors que l'on monte par la route , la navette passe..... c'est son premier jour de reprise...trop tard , on continue à pied..... On redescendra par le sentier qui traverse les alpages et zones de forêt....
But Izzy and I were hoping for "The Sound of Silence" haha .. lol
Thank you guys so much for hanging out and making it a fun lil shooting time. Mucho enjoyed. SL is a lot brighter with friends.
Photo was taken at La Vie .. absolutely stunning sim. I found a new shot around each lil bend .. or corner even. Amazing job.
...but closer and closer to a 'new' spring ;)
Ok, I know, all seasons can be the same good/bad, it's just that spring brings a little more joy and hope than the others.
Ella was the type to lean a little more towards ‘live and let live’ when given the chance, but she didn’t take lightly being cheated or otherwise done wrong. It was the principal of the thing that she tended to take issue with. Even on the wrong side of the law, she still had a moral compass, though perhaps it didn’t always point due north.
Ella had met her share of shady characters throughout her travels. There was always some degree of dishonesty to a man, she reckoned, but it was all about how much you could live with at the end of the day.
Unfortunately, they’d pin these little tin stars to just about anyone’s chest that would have them, and sadly, hiding behind that little star tended to make a slightly bent man break completely bad.
Ella could wager the lawman had no clue what he was doing when he made eyes for the dappled stud she rode into town on, and she had hard money on the fact that he had no idea what he was calling down on himself when he pulled his gun on her, telling her she’d make it to see another day if she just handed over the reins. Little did he know…
There were few things she held in high regard these days, with all the hard living she’d come to know so well, but Mille and the dappled palomino were two things she held dearest. A history of loyalty had tied them together, and it would take more than some twisted town sheriff to pull them apart.
There are times when knowing when to fold means living to see another day, and though the reins about burned her hand as she handed them over, she knew she’d be seeing the man again, and very soon.

Special thanks to my bestie, Tupper, for putting up with my shenanigans
you could travel the world
but you can't run away from the person
you are in your heart
you could be who you want to be
make us believe in you
keep all your light in the dark
If you're searching for truth, you must look in the mirror
and make sense of what you can see
just be
just be
they say learning to love yourself is the first step
that you take when you want to be real
flying on planes to exotic locations
wont teach you how you really feel
face up to the fact that you are who you are
and nothing can change that belief
just be
just be
cause now i know
it's not so far to where i go,
that I respond, it's inside me
i need to just be
But don't play me love 😊🌟
...::: 다비 (DAVII) - Don't play me love
:::...
아니 이게 대체 무슨일이야
보고도 믿기지 않아 oh my god
부끄럽지 않아 ill just say my mind
너를 보니 두근두근 온 맘 다
Oh i feel so blessed
찌질했던 난 없어
Change of my lifetime
Now everybody knows
You r my lifetime
So Don't play me don't play me love
죽든지 살든지 내 안엔 온통 너야
가득히 가득히 널 채워 넣어야 돼
예측불허의 세상 속에서
내가 널 만난게 필연이야
I'm not curious
Life's like a mist
Beauty but beast
안개 속 피어난 꽃 한송이
나타나
취하지 않아도
과학도 논리도 설명할 수 없어 my love
이별도 우주도 우리 이길 순 없어
So Don't play me don't play me love
(Love is so hard
But u make it easy)
Don't play me don't play me love

Trying to catch up my delay ... (which is still very big) ... but I need to post a new photo from time to time ...
Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several WEEKS/MONTHS later. And I might post several photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. Je vous répondrai peut-être dans plusieurs SEMAINES/MOIS. Et je posterai peut-être plusieurs photos entre temps.
Here is a 1st photo of our 2022 summer vacation of 20 days in the Alps. I had never hiked as much as this summer (18 days out of 20 days of presence) because exceptionnally in 2022, there were very few storms, very little rain and a lot of sun (but there were often clouds without rain too).
Voici une 1ère photo de nos vacances d'été 2022 de 20 jours dans les Alpes. Je n'avais encore jamais randonné autant que cet été (18 jours sur 20 jours de présence) car exceptionnellement en 2022, il y a eu très peu d'orages, très peu de pluie et beaucoup de soleil (mais il y avait souvent des nuages sans pluie aussi).
France. Alpes. Département de l'Isère (38). Massif des Écrins. Vallée du Vénéon. Photo prise lors d'une randonnée en aller-retour effectuée en famille dans le Vallon des Étages, au départ du Hameau des Étages. C'était mon 5ème jour de rando sur les 18 jours où j'ai pu randonner lors de notre séjour alpin de 3 semaines pendant l'été 2022 et notre 4ème jour de rando à 4 en famille (nos 2 filles nous ont beaucoup accompagné au début du séjour mais moins après).
La photo a été prise au début du Vallon des Étages, dans lequel beaucoup de choses portent son nom et on les voit d'ailleurs toutes sur cette photo :
- Le Ruisseau du Vallon des Étages,
- Le Col du Vallon des Étages (au fond au centre),
- La Pointe du Vallon des Étages (à gauche du col),
- Le Glacier du Vallon des Étages (au fond).
Rien que ça ! 😂
J'avais sélectionné cette randonnée car je trouvais que la Pointe du Vallon des Étages qui trône au fond du vallon était particulièrement photogénique et je n'ai pas été déçu. 😊
Pour l'anecdote, nous sommes montés par la rive gauche du ruisseau et j'avais prévu qu'on traverse le ruisseau pour revenir par la rive opposée. Mais nous n'avons pas trouvé de passerelle ni de gué aisément franchissable à l'endroit prévu. Nous avons longuement cherché un passage sur plusieurs centaines de mètres en amont ou aval, mais sans succès. Malgré le manque de pluie et la sécheresse, le ruisseau était impétueux et trop large, avec un débit assez impressionnant et un fort courant. C'était sans doute dû à la fonte du Glacier du Vallon des Étages qui se trouve en face nord et qui s'élève au-delà de 3000m d'altitude. Notre plus jeune fille a réussi à traverser à un endroit (bravo à elle ! 👏) mais nous n'avons pas osé l'imiter alors nous lui avons fait faire la traversée en sens inverse pour revenir du même côté que nous. 😂 La pauvre a été piquée un peu plus tard par une guêpe après avoir heurté sans s'en rendre compte avec son pied ou son bâton un petit nid de guêpes (une 10aine d'alvéoles et quelques adultes). Elle s'est rendue compte à quel point une piqure de guêpe était douloureuse ... 😥 Heureusement, elle n'est pas allergique. OUF ... 🙏 Pour que personne d'autre ne vive la même mésaventure, j'ai détaché le nid du rocher sur lequel il était accroché, en plein milieu du sentier et je l'ai éjecté quelques mètres plus loin avec un long bâton. Mais j'avais très peur et il m'a fallu de nombreuses tentatives infructueuses avant de mettre enfin en plein dans le mille. Heureusement, nous n'avons pas subi d'autres représailles pendant cette délicate opération. Peu après, un groupe de 5 à 10 personnes a emprunté le sentier. Je leur ai peut-être évité le même désagrément que celui subi par notre fille ?...
tomorrow is the last day of school :')
i got a couple of good mosquito bites while i was out. not cool.
I am getting a little fed up with the constant rain but my heart goes out to those who's homes and even livelihoods are affected. The sun is just dropping below the horizon here and a few rays are still hitting the rocks on the sea shore. I remember taking this shot as if it was yesterday and gradually putting my camera back in the bag reluctantly because it was a beautiful evening.
The blind is down in my PC room but I can hear the rain hitting the window....I can hear the rain on my window pain just came involuntarily into my mind. Your ear worm for today folks Sue :))
Taken at Reed Canal Park, these industrious ants were all over this flower bush. I seldom get a good ant shot, but I rather liked this one.
This male had been in a fight with the male in the image
" Lions, a mating pair " shown in the first comment box and posted 2 weeks ago. This one was lost the fight and had some injuries, mainly on his back.
During the 3 days that I was in the area he kept on following the mating couple

Beautiful, but Moody September……
Last September was quite rainy here in Belgium, though not cold…I decided to walk with my dog that lovely , calm afternoon , around lovely Lake Genval…
A certain moment I entered into the Yachting Club lovely area, and proceeded onto its wooden platforms to take some pictures. It was really so lovely and calm, though cloudy..
But here's a question. Why are these wet but the two in the previous posting were complexly dry even though they were part of the same group?
Dewdrop Mottlegill (Panaeolus acuminatus)
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
In my opinion Cyndi Lauper provides the best description of this picture.

I've no idea how old this fence is but it looks old. I bet it stands for a lot more years though.
Happy Fence Friday!
It died, but its growth form may give some insight to its death. At the top left of the tree is a proliferation of branches that is decidedly non-juniperish. Forest biologists call these witches brooms, and they occur in a variety of conifers and deciduous trees. They are usually caused by fungi, viruses, or plant parasites called mistletoes. This growth may have been the last straw for a tree growing in an arid environment.

But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved
In my heart that I left unspoken

The past two years I've happily watched a volunteer perennial plant return to my garden. Even though it towered over my other plants, I loved how many insects seemed to adore it. Then a friend mentioned I was growing Tansy Ragwort.
I discovered Tansy ragwort reproduces by seed. A single plant is capable of producing up to 150,000 seeds, which can remain viable for up to 15 years. Seeds in the upper 2 cm of soil remain viable for 4 to 5 years. Plants can flower from June to October, but typically start to form seeds by mid August. It only seemed right to remove the plant with its bright yellow flowers and make this tribute to their short life in my garden. Something tells me the plant will appear next year....and the year after. :)
But - What if there's a bigger picture?

But when you get behind the camera you can be involved without being on centre stage. I learned quickly that I could participate in the things I loved while taking pictures. Photography was my way of fitting in :-)

Life isn't easy from the singular side
Down in the hole some emotions are hard to hide
It's your decision, it's the chance that you take
It's on your head, it's a habit that's hard to break
Do you need a friend, would you tell no lies
Would you take me in, are you lonely in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
You never listen to the voices inside
They fill your ears as you run to a place to hide
You're never sure if the illusion is real
You pinch yourself but the memories are all you feel
Can you break away from your alibies
Can you make a play, will you meet me in the dark
In the dark

" Och! but Im weary of mist and dark,
And roads where theres never a house nor bush,
And tired I am of bog and road,
And the crying wind and the lonesome hush,
And I am praying to God on high,
And I am praying Him night and day,
For a little house-a house of my own,
Out of the wind and the rains way "
{ Padraic Colum 1881-1972 }
This poem is called " The Old Woman of the Road " and I learned it as a child in school.
After the famine was over in 1850, there were upwards of one million people homeless who just drifted from place to place depending on the goodness of strangers to help them. This poem is based on one such woman who longs for a little house of her own, "Out of the wind and the rains way"
I think its very sad and rather beautiful. We should think on these things in todays modern society and the many homeless immigrants who come to our countries seeking help and a better life.

LightRoom is so impressive, how it stitches images. But give it a complex scene and unsurprisingly it can struggle for perfection. You have to look fairly hard for the flaws, and many may not see them. Believe it or not, in this shot are hidden fairies, pixies, gnomes, panthers, snakes and killer worms. Everywhere. Padley Gorge is enchanting, magical and mystical, so atmospheric.
Three images but one bottle. Attached to the cork is an LED light that keeps changing colour. For the dark days I really like it as a table lamp.
I kept taking images as the light changed and selected these 3 colours for today's SoS!
I wish I could do the same image with changing lights, i.e. three videos. I could try but am not sure I have the necessary skills.
Hope you are having a good Saturday, keep smiling :)

I would have given you all of my heart
but there's someone who's torn it apart
and she's taken almost all that I've got
but if you want, I'll try to love again
baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
I still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
and if you want, I'll try to love again
but baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

Messy perch but this was my first time photographing this delightful plumage of a first fall female. Note how diffusely olive the entire cap is leaving a very brighter thin yellow line just above the eye and beak area. The black eye-line is relatively pale. The yellow below is very dull and there is much olive there. The wing bars are thin. As in all fall birds of this species, the beak is much lighter than Spring.
