“…you must be patient like someone who is sick, and confident like some one who is recovering; for perhaps you are both.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
Tomorrow I'm on a focus group regarding how small business owners select and use their business credit cards. The client has requested that the participants compose an "ode to my business credit card".
Well...
Okay. :D
Oh, wait.. An ode.. Hmmmm...
1. Ten lines per stanza.
2. Rhyme pattern ABABCDECDE
* Each new stanza in the ode brings new rhymes that follow the same pattern, for example the A-rhymes in stanza one might be "ball and call" while the A-rhyme in stanza two could be ring and thing.
3. Iambic pentameter rhythm
* This means that there will be ten beats per line following a stress pattern like daDUM daDUM daDUM daDUM daDUM.
4. More personalized subject matter, like emotions, thoughts and feelings.
About your business credit card.
Fine.
Since it's short notice, I helped myself to some poetic license. And some Don Julio Blanco...
That is, I threw the Ode rules completely out the window, so this is what they're getting:
“An ode to my business credit card”
We incorporated the business, an LLP.
and knew we'd spend to function and grow.
So we searched for the card that would fit to a "T",
but expected that mostly, they'd blow.
We relished rewards, and we gasped at the fees
and laughed at the interest they were payin'.
the terms were enough to make a marathoner wheeze.
Mostly extortion. Just sayin'.
We float some gear, some travel, a meal.
and we never throw money in excess.
so when more merchants get a plum discount rate deal
we'll switch to American Express!
The time back turn to the front the time again the time left the time to take the time to re-time the time the time to create time the time to count.
The countless time.

Composé d’un parc de plusieurs hectares, de jardins variés et d’œuvres monumentales, mais aussi d’un château normand du XIXe siècle qui abrite des expositions, le Centre d’art contemporain est un lieu atypique de la campagne rouennaise.
Le château se situe dans un parc de 6 hectares avec des univers différents qui évoluent au rythme des saisons : le jardin japonais, le jardin des cinq chambres, l’arboretum et la roseraie Renaissance italienne, le tout peuplé de sculptures monumentales de célèbres artistes (Peter Briggs, Norman Dilworth, Quentin Garel, Vera Molnar…).

À l'époque médiévale, la structure qui compose aujourd'hui le palais était divisée en deux propriétés différentes ; cette subdivision persistait également au début du XVIe siècle , avec la partie gauche appartenant au seigneur Odorico da Povo et la partie droite appartenant à Andrea Regio, collaborateur du prince évêque de Trente Bernardo Clesio. Les deux façades présentaient des styles décoratifs différents, tandis que l'intention du prince évêque était d'avoir une façade conforme au goût de la Renaissance sur la Contrada Larga (ancien nom de l'actuelle Via Rodolfo Belenzani).
L'insistance de l'ecclésiastique poussa les deux propriétaires à vendre et, vers 1536, les deux parts furent achetées par Antonio de Ziliis de Quetta, ami de l'évêque Bernardo Clesio depuis sa jeunesse, et devenu diplomate et juriste occupant le poste de chancelier de la Principauté Épiscopale de Trente.
Le nouveau propriétaire a transformé les deux bâtiments en une seule résidence, en essayant également d'uniformiser les styles et en intervenant sur le portail et les fenêtres de la façade.
In medieval times, the structure that now makes up the palace was divided into two different properties; this subdivision also persisted at the beginning of the 16th century, with the left part belonging to Lord Odorico da Povo and the right part belonging to Andrea Regio, collaborator of the Prince Bishop of Trent Bernardo Clesio. The two façades presented different decorative styles, while the intention of the Prince Bishop was to have a façade in keeping with the Renaissance taste on the Contrada Larga (the old name of the current Via Rodolfo Belenzani).
The insistence of the ecclesiastic pushed the two owners to sell and, around 1536, the two shares were purchased by Antonio de Ziliis of Quetta, a friend of Bishop Bernardo Clesio since his youth, and who had become a diplomat and jurist holding the position of Chancellor of the Episcopal Principality of Trent. The new owner transformed the two buildings into a single residence, also trying to standardize the styles and intervening on the portal and the windows of the facade.
Kokoen 好古園
location : Himeji city , Hyogo prefecture, Japan
This garden, Himeji "Koko-en", was constructed in 1992 to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the establishment of Himeji municipality.
Himeji "Koko-en" is composed of nine separate gardens, making use of the exact former site of where "Nishi-Oyashiki" (the lord's west residence) and other samurai houses once existed. The original location was confirmed through seven archeological excavations.
Professor Makoto Nakamura of Kyoto University supervised the planning and designing of this garden.
The name "Koko-en" is derived from "Koko-do" the name of Japan's sixth provincial school founded in 1692 in Himeji by the last Lord of Himeji, Sakai family.
All of the nine separate gardens show the essence of the Edo period. The following are some of the many splendors which can be found here. Among attractions, "Oyasiki-no-niwa", the garden of the lord's house, comes first.
Second , "Cha-no-niwa", the garden of tea, has an elaborate tea house, where you can enjoy an authentic tea ceremony. Next, several mud walls with roof tiles on were built as replicas of original walls located here.
There is also a "Nagaya-Gate" which bestows upon viewers the historical feeling of the Edo period. In addition, from Nagare-no-hiraniwa you can enjoy excellent views of the main keep and the West Bailey of Himeji Castle. Finally strolling through the gardens, you can appreciate beautiful trees and flowers of four seasons, the rapids and waterfalls, and covered walkways built of Japanese cypress.
You can feel history and see natural beauty in this garden. It is an impressive and scenic spot located just west of Himeji Castle.

Wanted to compose an image with blue and yellow colors - representative of Ukraine national flag. I was also looking for a pose that would symbolize liberty. In solidarity with all the incredible brave people who are fighting for peace for freedom in Ukraine.

About 30 minutes before sunset looked outside and there were storm clouds about ... so decided at the last minute to grab the camera and tripod and head down to my dad's along Middle River. Turned out to be a pretty glorious display (last 3 or 4 times down there it was pretty bland).
But tonight, the sky went quite pretty. As it was like a summer evening, temperatures in the upper 80's, my dad came out and took a seat on one of the benches there to enjoy the display along with me.
Of course I put him to work, telling him not to move for 20 seconds while I composed him there in the light enjoying that view up river. Captured with the 6 Stop ND filter.
Pretty sunset ... with your Dad ... PRICELESS!

Zabriskie Point composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago—long before Death Valley came into existence.
Zabriskie Point was used as surface of Mars in the film Robinson Crusoe on Mars; The Joshua Tree. Zabriskie Point is also the name of a 1970 movie by Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni; its soundtrack features music by British band Pink Floyd and Jerry Garcia.
This windswept tree in a field in Sonoma county looks like a big bonsai next to a perfect rock. I've noticed it in the past, but only stopped to study it this past week. New green leaves and the green fields add to the look.

The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion.[b] It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years[3][6] and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2000 times the mass of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula.[7]
The Orion Nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky, and is among the most intensely studied celestial features.[8] The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. Astronomers have directly observed protoplanetary disks, brown dwarfs, intense and turbulent motions of the gas, and the photo-ionizing effects of massive nearby stars in the nebula.

Santa Cruz Looff Carousel and Roller Coaster On The Beach Boardwalk is a National Historic Landmark composed of two parts, a Looff carousel and the Giant Dipper wooden roller coaster, at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in Santa Cruz, California, United States. They are among the oldest surviving beachfront amusement park attractions on the west coast of the United States. They were listed as a pair as a National Historic Landmark in 1987. (87000764)
Background
The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is located on the northern shore of Monterey Bay, south of Beach Street and just west of the mouth of the San Lorenzo River. The family-friendly amusement park was founded in 1907 by Fred W. Swanton, and has been in continuous operation since then. Early attractions included a natatorium, casino (in the old sense of the word, a place of entertainment), and a short railroad with hills. The Looff Carousel was purchased new from the Charles I. D. Looff factory in Long Beach, California in 1911, and the Giant Dipper rollercoaster followed in 1924. It was built by Charles Looff's son Arthur.
The Looff family was one of the major early manufacturers of carousels, including this 1911 example. Only five other intact Looff carousels remain in the United States. The Giant Dipper is the older of the two large, wooden scaffolded roller coasters remaining on the West Coast; the other is the Giant Dipper at Belmont Park in San Diego.
The Looff Carousel is located near the Riverside Avenue entrance to the park. The carousel has 73 unique horses and two chariots or seats, and is a 'pure' carousel asall the horses were carved by one master carver. The Looff Carousel is one of six remaining intact in the United States.
The carousel includes a brass ring dispenser. Riders on the outside jumping horses can reach out and try to grab rings which then get tossed at the target which is a large clown's mouth. It was originally manually operated but was mechanized around 1950. It is one of only twenty ring dispensers still operating in the world. Sometimes, riders keep the rings to remember their visit.
The carousel also has three organs: the original 342-pipe Ruth & Sohn organ from 1894, a Wurlitzer 165 organ from 2007, and a Wurlitzer 146 organ from 2011.
