El 13 de septiembre de 1964 fue inaugurado el Pantano de Los Rábanos. Ese es el tiempo que lleva el río Duero embalsado a la salida de Soria capital, conformando un paisaje muy característico.

.

El pantano de los Rábanos no es un embalse muy grande, cierto, pero es un bonito embalse con apenas 98 has. Puede ser el paraíso que todos buscamos, ya que es muy tranquilo y acogedor. Alimentado por el río Duero este embalse tiene una belleza imparable, sus orillas están rodeadas de frondosos bosques.

On September 13, 1964, the swamp of Rábanos was inaugurated. That is how long the river Duero has been dammed at the exit of the capital, forming such a characteristic landscape.

.

The Rábanos reservoir is not a very large reservoir, true, but it is a beautiful reservoir with just 98ha. It may be the paradise that we all seek, as it is very quiet and cozy. Fed by the Douro River, this reservoir has unstoppable beauty, its banks are surrounded by lush forests.

 

Uno de los fenómenos más bellos y fotografiados de la naturaleza es, probablemente una cascada. En realidad, este fenómeno no es más que un salto de agua provocado por un fuerte desnivel en el lecho o el cauce de un río pero no podemos evitar quedarnos ensimismados cuando vemos uno.

I always wanted to do a B&W loon shot with selective colour so today is the day. This is a crop....I don't go near the nesting sites for obvious reasons. If the mama loon is not relaxed you are too close. No shot is worth jeopardizing the chicks. The loons built their nest in a high traffic area (not their usual spot) near someone's cabin... probably due to high predator presence of 7 blue herons I counted in the fog the other morning. I bribed the cabin owner with two prints of the loons if they don't launch their speed boat until after the babies are born 28 days from now. Anything for my loons! Taken in my Yak.

La frase "la flor y la mariposa" evoca frecuentemente una famosa fábula sobre la paciencia y la confianza en Dios, donde un hombre recibe un cactus y una oruga en lugar de lo pedido, descubriendo luego que la oruga se convierte en mariposa y el cactus da una bella flor, enseñando que lo que necesitas supera lo que deseas.

The phrase "the flower and the butterfly" often evokes a famous fable about patience and trust in God, where a man receives a cactus and a caterpillar instead of what he asked for, later discovering that the caterpillar becomes a butterfly and the cactus produces a beautiful flower, teaching that what you need exceeds what you desire.

Life’s better when you wing it like a jay. You know when they show up because they are so loud and bossy. I can never catch them when they see me, so I shot this through my patio doors as he was coming for my peanut butter suet.

 

Needless to say, I winged it!

Vernal Falls flush with spring runoff, was gushing mightily on this spring day in 2011. I found a little opening in the trees along the Mist Trail that allowed me to capture this intimate view of the falls. It was a rainy day and there were only a handful people about . My buddy and I were the only hikers on the trail. It was a true Zen moment.

Witnessing the incredible power of the great grey owl is always amazing to me. It dives through snow to catch a vole, hearing its heartbeat from above.

Even in a blizzard, the great grey hunts with unmatched focus. The light wasn't good, but I made the best of it.

Cierta vez, un hombre pidió un DESEO: Una flor... y una mariposa.

 

Pero el deseo que le concedieron fue un cactus...y una oruga.

 

El hombre quedó triste, pues no entendió por qué su pedido llegó equivocado. No comprendía el error, y se quedó muy apenado.

 

Pasado algún tiempo, el hombre fue a verificar el pedido que dejó olvidado.

Para su sorpresa, del espinoso y feo cactus había nacido la más bella de las flores y la horrible oruga se transformó en una bellísima mariposa.

 

No siempre lo que deseas... es lo que necesitas.

 

Cuando te llegue algo, y no es lo que esperabas, sigue adelante sin dudar ni murmurar.

 

La ESPINA de hoy... Será la FLOR de mañana.

**********************************

Once, a man made a WISH: A flower... and a butterfly.

 

But the wish that was granted was a cactus...and a caterpillar.

 

The man was sad, because he did not understand why his order arrived wrong. He did not understand the error, and was very sorry.

 

After some time, the man went to verify the order that he had forgotten.

To his surprise, the most beautiful of flowers had grown from the thorny and ugly cactus and the horrible caterpillar transformed into a beautiful butterfly.

 

Not always what you want... is what you need.

 

When something comes your way, and it's not what you expected, move on without hesitation or murmuring.

 

Today's thorn... Will be tomorrow's flower.

¿No eres tú, mariposa,

el alma de estas sierras solitarias,

de sus barrancos hondos

y de sus cumbres agrias?

Para que tú nacieras,

con su varita mágica

a las tormentas de la piedra, un día,

mandó callar un hada,

y encadenó los montes

para que tú volaras.

Anaranjada y negra,

morenita y dorada,

mariposa montés, sobre el romero

plegadas las alillas o, voltarias,

jugando con el sol, o sobre un rayo

de sol crucificadas.

Isn't it you, butterfly

the soul of these lonely mountains,

of its deep ravines

and from its sour peaks?

For you to be born,

with his magic wand

to the storms of stone, one day,

he ordered a fairy to shut up,

and chained the mountains

for you to fly.

Orange and black

brown and golden,

mountain butterfly, on rosemary

the wings folded or, voltary,

playing with the sun, or on lightning

Las vías del tren se cortan, se gritan,

se atornillan, se funden, se rozan, se sueldan,

se calientan, se estremecen,

a veces chirrían,

y se muestran como líneas que se pierden

en el horizonte de tus días.

 

Las vías del tren se abrazan, se lían,

se estiran, se derraman, se responden, se destinan,

se solapan, se arrullan, se apilan, se odian,

o se aman se mezclan con otros trenes y otras vías.

 

Las vías del tren

vienen y van,

a donde quieras ir

a donde te quieran llevar.

-------------------- ------------------- -------------------------

The train tracks are cut, they are shouted,

They are screwed, melted, rubbed, welded,

they get hot, they shudder,

sometimes they squeak,

And they show up as lines that are lost

on the horizon of your days.

 

The train tracks hug each other, get involved,

they stretch, they spill, they respond, they are destined,

they overlap, they coo, they pile up, they hate each other,

or they love each other, they mix with other trains and other tracks.

 

The train tracks

they come and go,

wherever you want to go

wherever they want to take you.

Es un pájaro cuyo canto melódico se escucha durante todos los días del año. Es una especie social y territorial al mismo tiempo.

 

El petirrojo trae consigo la buena suerte y simboliza los cambios, siempre en positivo, que van a tener lugar próximamente en nuestras vidas.

It's a bird whose melodic song can be heard every day of the year. It's a social and territorial species at the same time.

 

The robin brings good luck and symbolizes the changes, always positive, that will soon take place in our lives.

Precursora de buenas nuevas, la cigüeña ha conseguido mantener un curioso aura de fidelidad hacia su pareja. Este dato no es totalmente cierto, pues este ave es fiel al nido que reconstruye cada año con ramas y barro, por lo que algunos llegan a pesar cientos de kilos, pero no es incondicionalmente fiel a su pareja. No es raro, por ello, que surgan con cierta frecuencia conflictos matrimoniales, cruentas discusiones de las que algunos individuos salen sangrando y otros, incluso, mueren.

.........

A harbinger of good news, the stork has managed to maintain a curious aura of fidelity towards its partner. This data is not totally true, as this bird is faithful to the nest that it rebuilds every year with branches and mud, so some weigh hundreds of kilos, but it is not unconditionally faithful to its partner. It is not unusual, therefore, that marital conflicts arise with some frequency, bloody arguments from which some individuals come out bleeding and others even die.

La primera cita documental medieval del castillo de Ucero (Soria) es de 1157, un privilegio de Alfonso VII a la villa de Sotos de Suso, que dice estar entre Oxoma y Ucero.

 

Se tiene noticias del castillo desde el S. XIII.

 

Tiene una arquitectura como mínimo poco común, que desde luego no deja indiferente a nadie.

.................. ..

The first medieval documentary date of the castle of Ucero (Soria) is from 1157, a privilege of Alfonso VII to the town of Sotos de Suso, which claims to be between Oxoma and Ucero.

 

There has been news of the castle since the 13th century.

 

It has at least unusual architecture, which will certainly not leave us indifferent.
