Los últimos tardes y noches que tenían duchas de lluvia. Los lirios han aparecido para agradecer la lluvia por el comienzo de una nueva temporada de hacernos sonreír. Con tantas cosas que nos impiden sonreír en el mundo de hoy, es importante recordar que la naturaleza puede volver a enfocarnos para disfrutar y sonreír ante su belleza.
The last few evenings and nights we had rain showers. The lilies have popped up to say thanks for the rain for the beginning of a new season of making us smile. With so many things that are keeping us from smiling happening in the world today, it's important to remember that nature can bring us back into focus to enjoy and smile at its beauty.
Le ultime sere e notti abbiamo avuto docce a pioggia. I gigli sono spuntati per dire grazie per la pioggia per l'inizio di una nuova stagione per farci sorridere. Con così tante cose che ci impediscono di sorridere accadendo oggi nel mondo, è importante ricordare che la natura può riportarci a fuoco per goderci e sorridere alla sua bellezza.

THE ANIMAL CRUSADE
One day all the sties and burrows opened
And out came the cave-bear the mammoth the seafaring
cormorant, that poetic diving bird, the white-headed vulture
the rock-goat from the mountains, the sea unicorn
You could see by their snouts that they meant business
You could hear by their flapping wings and their burr
They had thrown off their humility, cast down their yoke
once imposed by Adam’s secretive hero
the one with the garden
They were, to cut a long story short, fed up
And the morals of the shotgun had been cast off
the flayed skin of flight had faded
The viper walked tall and the swine wore polaroid glasses
that lent him pleasant looks. The beavers
gnawed down telegraph poles and so cut off any form of communication
Predictably enough, the lion led the way black black
as black gold and gold-coloured as deep black
It was a magnificent procession, blinding to the eye
At the back the unicorn reported as missing, the dodo the passenger pigeon
as well as various viruses and the elated spermatozoids
So the holy animals
travelled the holy world
And do you know how or why?
Oh no, they just went travelling, they didn’t have a flag!
Sometimes ripped up laws out of sheer happiness
or bled a city dry
Now and then trampled on a Jesus
or struck down a prophet or a princess
They were beginning to get tired
Haste no longer necessary
The one day’s deities left the fire
H.H. ter Balkt

I am always amazed at the freshness of new Hydrangea blossoms. They promise new beginnings, a fresh start, a new day.
"The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life.
You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose."
~ Arnold Bennett

A blue Morning Glory Bud for Monday !!
:~)
It is finely the beginning of waterfall season here in Minnesota which is always a very exciting time to me. I am reminded of how Christ makes everything new and breathes life into our dead lungs. For all things are made for Him and through Him which is stated in Colossians chapter 1. I am thankful for springtime and for warmer temperatures that are on the way. Have a blessed week everybody!
Take a quick picture beforehand and Then peel the orange.
Vorher noch ein Bild machen und dann die Orange schälen.
(Die Navel Apfelsine / Orange ist jetzt vollreif.)
Stunning sunrise - Alberta Canada.
My camera has been in its case and I, for the most part, in a chair - just waiting for spring. The bears in Alberta and I definitely in hibernation mode this winter.
A difficult month with record breaking temperatures e.g. -35c -
Wishing you all....a HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING. Hope we all have good weather and lots of buds (beginnings).
BLESSINGS ~ BARB

I'm sure most of you will have noticed by now that I'm shooting different subjects/styles. I love LE seascape work and the peace and tranquility that comes with being near water, but I'm feeling the urge to rebel and try my hand at other subjects (hence my deliberate move to explore other avenues of photographic expression). The tilt-shift/focus work I've been trying lately is really starting to resonate with me and I'm curious where this path will take me.
All comments, critiques and feedback both positive and negative welcome.
I'm sorry my dear Flickr Friends, comments posting has been turned off for this upload....

day 130 from 365 - "When every day is an adventure"
Thanks to George Pitarys who reminds me today with his uploads, the fact that Action Red once ruled the Baie des Chaleurs part of Gaspésie.
We are located, on this cold Saturday morning, on the old timber bridge supporting the 5e Rand Ouest, a narrow path cut straight thru the deep forest north of New-Richmond and waiting for the first ever windmill blades train over the Société du Chemin de Fer de la Gaspésie trackage.
The average solitude and tranquility of the forest were quickly interrupted by three ALCo 251 prime movers, working full blast against gravity and the 1.4% grade with 6400 foot of train on the drawbar. The old timber bridge was shaken by the deafening exhaust of 3600 horsepower as the head end slowly top off the grade half a mile from it.
From now, the 60 or so mile-long chase have just began.
Windmill blade trains are no longer operating on the SCFG since a shifting in the size of the the blades build LM Windpower plant near Gaspé was now too long to be put on railcars.
SCFG 1819 will become the first of the small RS18u fleet to be painted in the SP Black Widow-inspired paint scheme a few weeks after this picture.
The old bridge over 5e Rang, closed to thru trafic since a few years, was torn down somewhere back in 2021.
But the show remain the same on the Gaspésie railway.

Patient Trust
Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.
We should like to skip the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new.
And yet it is the law of all progress
that it is made by passing through some stages of instability—
and that it may take a very long time.
And so I think it is with you;
your ideas mature gradually—let them grow,
let them shape themselves, without undue haste.
Don’t try to force them on,
as though you could be today what time
(that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will)
will make of you tomorrow.
Only God could say what this new spirit
gradually forming within you will be.
Give Our Lord the benefit of believing
that his hand is leading you,
and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself
in suspense and incomplete.
-Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Hearts on Fire
New Beginning - I hadn't photographed Bald Eagles at all in 2022, so it was a nice surprise to see this one cruising by the hills while I was photographing waterbirds. I've always wanted to capture a photo of a Bald Eagle against the green/chaparral hillside, so it was nice to check that off during a gap in the rains.
This particular male's mate has gone missing. I hope he is able to find a female and nest successfully in the near future.
Species: Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
Location: Santa Clara County, CA, USA
Date Taken: January 2023
Equipment: Canon EOS R5 + EF 100-400mm IS II + EF 1.4x Extender III
Settings: 1/2000s, ISO: 320, f/8 @560mm, Handheld, Electronic Shutter
An entire new beginning at our new place.
