la disarmante bellezza della natura...

Green bee-eater hunts and eats different types of flying insects such as honey bees, grasshoppers, fruit flies, ants and wasps. Name "bee-eater" refers to the favorite type of food of this species - bees. Fruit and berries are occasionally on the menu.

Green bee-eater knows how to "disarm" dangerous prey. It removes stinger and eliminates venom by hitting and rubbing a bee against the branch.

A little something for Gerard. In honour of the life and work of Gerard ( Pifou ) who was such a consummate gentleman, a great artist and a very warm-hearted man who never forgot to laugh, who never took himself overly seriously. He was a great friend to many people on Flickr, with his big, open, welcome and his boundless generosity.

 

Gerard often posted shots of shop windows with cute, funny or whimsical figures in them. He made us laugh, he made us pause and look at such things with new eyes. It was a very endearing quality, quite disarming in the best sense. I chose something from my archivers that I thought would honour Gerard and his curiosity so often found in shop windows and curios. I love this shot as there seems to be a hint of a fairy tale in this collection of oddities. It seems to suit Gerard.

HLCOF!

Ego is like the cloak that shadows the spirit - always doubting, always seeking validation from outside of itself, it is controlling, manipulating, and often driven by primal needs.

 

Its that voice that tells you - you cannot do this, that voice that makes you feel insecure. Or that voice that tells you to cheat - it will be ok. It is like the voice of the demon that constantly needs to control you. It constantly pumps itself up in order to make you feel good and desperately seeks validation from others. It cringes and becomes the victim when under scrutiny. It disarms you in so many ways.

 

Spirit on the other hand sits quietly in the background, not judging, just 'being' waiting silently for you to acknowledge and tap into this great fountain of wisdom laying dormant inside of you.

 

Spirit never doubts, spirit never judges, spirit just 'is' your greatest reservoir that never needs validation. It is your authentic self that knows all things.

 

When man has exhausted everything outside of himself - only then may he turn in on himself and discover the greatest gift of all - that which lays dormant inside of him.

 

Society has orchestrated it this way - not wanting you to gain this power that is within each of us.

Interested? Two former Warsaw Pact (probably the former GDR) military vessels, disarmed, demilitarized, leaking oil and in various stages of rotting were for up for sale in Peenemünde harbour back in 2019. I blurred the phone number given on the port side of the nearer boat for obvious reasons...

“Ho imparato che…..”

.

.

“Ho imparato che la calma è molto

più destabilizzante della rabbia…

che un sorriso disarma molto

più di un volto corrugato,

ho imparato che il silenzio

di fronte ad un’offesa è

un grido che fa tremare la terra.

Ho imparato che come un amore

rifiutato non si perde ma torna

intatto a colui che voleva donarlo,

così accade per la rabbia, le offese…

siamo noi a decidere se farci toccare

o meno da un sentimento,

di qualsiasi sentimento si tratti.

Non importa se stai procedendo

molto lentamente…ciò che importa è

che tu non ti sia fermato,

che tu sia andato avanti, e

lo hai guardato negli occhi

hai letto nel profondo del suo cuore

ma tutto ha capito, tutto ha ascoltato.

I suoi silenzi non erano sinceri

ma tremavano per la paura di

essere stato ingrato, irriconoscente,

di non avere offerto il suo cuore

in un momento particolare della sua vita

quando lui ti ha teso la mano.

Non hai dato l’anima per la sua salvezza

non ti sei offerto per il suo bene,

Ho imparato che non bisogna essere disponibili

con persone che non meritano,

ho imparato a non amare più

neanche me stesso”

……………………..(Confucio - Mirto)

.

"I learned that ... .."

.

“I've learned that calm is a lot

more destabilizing than anger ...

that a smile is very disarming

more than a wrinkled face,

I learned that silence

faced with an offense is

a cry that makes the earth tremble.

I learned that as a love

refused is not lost but returns

intact to the one who wanted to give it,

so it happens with anger, offenses ...

we decide whether to let ourselves be touched

or not from a feeling,

whatever feeling it is.

It doesn't matter if you are progressing

very slowly… what matters is

that you haven't stopped,

that you have moved on, and

you looked him in the eye

you read deep in his heart

but he understood everything, he listened to everything.

His silences weren't sincere

but they trembled with fear of

to have been ungrateful, ungrateful,

of not having offered his heart

at a particular time in your life

when he held out his hand to you.

You did not give your soul for his salvation

you did not offer yourself for his sake,

I learned that you don't have to be available

with people who do not deserve,

I have learned not to love anymore

not even myself "

……………………... (Confucio - Mirto).

"I was disarmed by the spontaneity of giving and understood that Lucie cared for it; perhaps her tongue-tied state, her lack of verbal eloquence, made her think of flowers as a form of speech; not in the sense of heavy-handed conventional flower symbolism, but in a sense still more archaic, more nebulous, more instinctive, pre-linguistic; perhaps, having always been sparing of words, she longed for that mute stage of evolution when there were no words and people communicated by simple gestures”

'È una curiosa creatura il passato

Ed a guardarlo in viso

Si può approdare all’estasi

O alla disperazione.

Se qualcuno l’incontra disarmato,

Presto, gli grido, fuggi!

Quelle sue munizioni arrugginite

Possono ancora uccidere!'

The three-to-four-day old Percheron colt is playful after a race in the pasture.

 

Today, Saturday, May 6, is the running of the 149th Run for The Roses Kentucky Derby! There are 20 horses in the race

and am always excited for the Kentucky Derby!

 

Last year a horse with odds against having a chance to

do well let alone win the race did win.

Rich Strike had 80-1 odds and in the race his jockey was able to suddenly bring him up and move him into position to have a chance and he won!

 

This year, at this time, a racehorse named Forte, is favored to win with 3-1 odds. There are 3 horses ( at this time) who

could win. Tript Trice, Disarm and Skinner

  

The Kentucky Derby's winner is draped with roses and why they call the it Run for the Roses

 

As the day goes on the odds could change and who knows, perhaps another dark horse could win again?

 

Update

Favorites Trip Trace and Skinner scratched from race

 

Kentucky Derby winner is Mage

with 382 owners investing in this horse

 

Two Phill's came in second

 

Angle of Empire placed third

“You make me smile like the sun,

fall out bed, sing like a bird, dizzy in my head.

Spin like a record crazy on a sunday night.

You make me dance like a fool,

forget how to breath, shine like the sun buzz like a bee,

just the thought of you can drive me wild.

Oh you make me smile."

Song

Contro i sentimenti siamo disarmati, poichè esistono e basta - e sfuggono a qualunque censura. Possiamo rimproverarci un gesto, una frase, ma non un sentimento: su di esso non abbiamo alcun potere.

(L'identità - Milan Kundera)

Could this wide-eyed disarming little cat ever bite the hand that feeds her? And strokes her while she eats? And plays wand games every single night before bed?

 

Yes! On Halloween night which may explain it. Kerri, my daughter who knows all things cat, tells me some cats are just bitey and hold back many, many times when they'd like to nip in play. But then they have to let go at times.

 

But this is my favorite of all Rena's faces, and she does have many, but innocence is the best.

With just one minute left on the timer, Jasper HAS to get this photobomb disarmed, NOW! The yellow wire, the orange wire...the yellow wire, the orange wire! WHICH ONE?!?

I remember as a child wanting to have a "permanent" smile on my face like one of the neighborhood girls did. You know what I am talking about?

The lucky kind of people that never seem to stop smiling even when their skies are gray. It's not that they are actually smiling all the time,

but their facial features make them seem that way....

a child's laughter

Her mother immediately forgot why she actually wanted to scold ;-)))

La source d'inspiration la plus importante pour les sculptures de Dirk De Keyzer n'est rien de moins que la vie elle-même. Le monde est transformé en un monde parallèle alternatif dans lequel les problèmes majeurs et quotidiens sont compensés. Sans tomber dans la naïveté enfantine, la positivité et la pensée transfrontalière se voient accorder une place très importante. Cela ressort d'autant plus du fait que les personnages ne semblent appartenir à aucune culture, ni même à toutes les cultures. Par extension, on pourrait dire qu'il s'agit d'une interprétation tout à fait singulière du concept « d'homme universel », élevé au-dessus des caractéristiques extérieures, des différences culturelles et des tendances temporelles afin de mettre l'accent sur l'individu et la diversité.

L'humour est un autre aspect important de l'art de Dirk de Keyzer. Il croit fermement que l'humour, par opposition à la négativité, peut être le fer de lance de la critique sociale. Humour désarmant plutôt que bavardage pour stimuler la perspective et la tolérance. En ces temps chargés, le travail de Dirk De Keyzer nous appelle à réfléchir sur l'insoutenable légèreté de notre existence. Un moment d'introspection pour appeler à une petite évasion de la réalité quotidienne.

Les sculptures sont un instantané du monde alternatif de Dirk et invitent le spectateur amusé à pénétrer dans l'univers personnel du sculpteur. De cette façon, le spectateur vit la même expérience en regardant que l'artiste en créant. Dirk voit le processus créatif comme une sorte de thérapie qui l'aide à voir le monde sous un angle différent et essaie de le projeter sur le spectateur. Malgré son propre langage de forme unique, des données universelles telles que la poursuite humaine du bonheur, de la beauté et de l'harmonie se voient attribuer un rôle de premier plan. De cette manière, l'artiste tente d'entrer en dialogue avec son public, dans lequel, tout comme dans la vie elle-même, l'accent n'est pas toujours mis sur des objectifs préconçus, mais plutôt sur le chemin pour y parvenir.

 

The most important source of inspiration for Dirk De Keyzer's sculptures is nothing less than life itself. The world is transformed into an alternate parallel world in which major and everyday problems are compensated. Without falling into childish naivety, positivity and cross-border thinking are given a very important place. This is all the more apparent from the fact that the characters do not seem to belong to any culture, or even to all cultures. By extension, one could say that it is a quite singular interpretation of the concept of "universal man", elevated above external characteristics, cultural differences and temporal tendencies in order to emphasize on the individual and diversity.

Humor is another important aspect of Dirk de Keyzer's art. He strongly believes that humor, as opposed to negativity, can spearhead social criticism. Disarming humor rather than chatter to stimulate perspective and tolerance. In these busy times, the work of Dirk De Keyzer calls us to reflect on the unbearable lightness of our existence. A moment of introspection to call for a small escape from everyday reality.

The sculptures are a snapshot of Dirk's alternate world and invite the amused viewer to enter the sculptor's personal universe. In this way, the spectator has the same experience while watching as the artist while creating. Dirk sees the creative process as a kind of therapy that helps him see the world from a different perspective and tries to project it onto the viewer. Despite its own unique form language, universal data such as the human pursuit of happiness, beauty and harmony are given a prominent role. In this way, the artist attempts to enter into a dialogue with his audience, in which, just as in life itself, the focus is not always on preconceived goals, but rather on the path to achieve them. to arrive at.

Sexes are alike. Juveniles have a paler blue throat, no orange-brown coloration, and no long tail extensions. Often hunts from exposed perches such as telephone lines or snags, on which it rubs its venomous quarry so as to disarm it. Call is a bright, inflected “chileep.” (eBird)

We saw these lovely bee-eaters every day of our tour of Singapore. Brightly coloured and highly active, they were easily spotted but not always easily photographed.

 

Botanic Gardens, Singapore. March 2024.

Birding Singapore.

I choose the sun.

 

I am a woman with a mission

And a past to outdo

I don't need a gun

I've got a microphone

And a melody or two

Just like the earth has spent

A thousand years

Making up for what we do

So have I for you

Your seeds of misery have sprouted

And they try to block my way

The worst gets the better of you

And you try to disarm me with an embrace

Just like the heart that's spent a lifetime

Forgiving what is cruel

So have I for you

Well mama you can choose the rain

But I choose the sun

That's all I need to free myself

I am a woman with a mission

And a past to outdo

I don't need a gun

I've got a microphone

And a melody or two

Just like the earth has spent

A thousand years making up

For what we do

So have I for you

I have justified every wave in our ocean

I have covered every range of emotion

And just like the sea has spent eternity

At the mercy of the moon

So have I for you

Well mama you can choose the rain

But I choose the sun

That's all I need to free myself

This bird's gonna fly so high

Watch my sky come undone

Mama you can choose the rain

But I choose the sun

“She is the lullaby heaven sings to a weary world.”

 

She walks the quiet breath of light,

With wings spun soft from dawn’s delight.

Her golden hair, a sacred flame,

Whispers peace in Heaven’s name.

 

She cups the morning’s trembling hush,

The world around her turns to blush.

No sword she bears, no call to war—

Yet hearts disarm forevermore.

 

Her voice is stillness, warm and wide,

A prayer the stars themselves confide.

With every beat of feathered grace,

She blesses time and guards this place.

El Boussettaoui. Così si chiamava l'uomo trentanovenne ucciso con un colpo di pistola ieri a Voghera.

Non era 'un marocchino', aveva un nome, una moglie, due figli di 8 e 5 anni. Soprattutto tanta sofferenza. Ed era disarmato.

La magistratura spero chiarirà come sono andate veramente le cose. Alcuni descrivono Youns come un bravo ragazzo che non dava fastidio a nessuno, altri come uno che molestava, rompeva vetrine...

Di certo si sa che dormiva su una panchina e che il suo disagio psichico si era acuito con il lockdown e dopo la morte della madre.

Certamente avrebbe avuto bisogno di aiuto.

Già si parla di legittima difesa (avrebbe dato una spinta, forse gettato una bottiglia di birra all'assessore che gli ha sparato), di un colpo partito per caso (ma le pistole non hanno una sicura? E perché uno va in giro con una pistola carica? ) e che, guarda caso, va diritto al cuore. Spero che questa morte non cada nel silenzio e che ci sia una giustizia, qualunque debba essere.

Qualcuno ha deposto un mazzetto di fiori davanti al bar, nel luogo in cui si è svolta la scena. Con un biglietto :" Ti sia lieve almeno la terra Musta (così lo chiamavano ) , perché la vita lieve non è stata"

 

Spero anche che l'Italia non diventi un Far West

🎵Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem

Lying to herself cause her liquor's top shelf

It's alarming honestly how charming she can be

Fooling everyone, telling them she's having fun

 

She says, "You don't want to be like me

Don't wanna see all the things I've seen

I'm dying, I'm dying

She says, "You don't want to get this way

Famous, and dumb at an early age

Lying, I'm lying

 

The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen

She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes

She laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond

Audiotune lies, she's still shining

Like lightning, white lightning

 

Carmen, carmen, staying up till morning

Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean

It's alarming truly how disarming you can be

Eating soft ice cream, Coney Island queen

 

She says, "You don't want to be like me

Looking for fun, getting high for free

I'm dying, I'm dying

She says, "You don't want to get this way

Street walking at night, and a star by day

It's tiring, tiring

 

The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen

She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes

She laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond

Audiotune lies, she's still shining

Like lightning, white lightning

 

Baby's all dressed up with nowhere to go

That's the little story of the girl you know

Relying on the kindness of strangers

Trying cherry knots similing, doing party favours

Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on

Sing your song, song, now the camera's on

And you're alive again

 

Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi

 

The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen

She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes

She laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond

Audiotune lies, she's still shining

Like lightning, white lightning

 

Like lightning, white lightning...

Melilla... Jayland Walker dicono qualcosa?

Certo, la televisione ne ha parlato, ma molto di sfuggita , come per tante altre notizie 'scomode' per un determinato potere.

Pochi giorni fa, fine Giugno, la strage di Melilla : almeno 37 migranti sono stati massacrati dalla polizia nel tentativo di attraversare il confine per raggiungere la Spagna.. Ci sono stati dei respingimenti violenti, con uso di forza eccessiva e disumana da parte delle autorità spagnole e della polizia marocchina : manganellate a persone che non opponevano alcuna resistenza e vere e proprie esecuzioni sommarie. Le immagini che abbiamo visto sono crude e brutali : una distesa di corpi agonizzanti, ammassati uno sull'altro.

Le vittime sono state poi gettate in fosse comuni, come bestie, senza alcuna indagine, identificazione o autopsia.

La Spagna è stato il primo Paese che, tra il '95 e il 2005 ha costruito il primo muro , isolando le città di Melilla e Ceuta, enclavi spagnole in Marocco : 7 m di altezza con filo spinato sopra.

L' Europa è una fortezza chiusa con 16 muri esistenti, più di 1000 km di recinzioni, barriere, radar, filo spinato.

Bisognerebbe garantire i diritti umani con procedure d'asilo e percorsi legali e sicuri per impedire queste barbarie contro persone costrette a fuggire dalla loro terra.

 

Oggi la notizia della morte di Jayland Walker, 25 anni, afroamericano, giustiziato dalla furia omicida di 8 agenti di polizia ( 7 bianchi). Hanno sparato, in un minuto di inseguimento, 90 colpi : 60 lo hanno raggiunto, anche quando era ormai moribondo a terra.

Jayland era disarmato, aveva commesso un'imprecisata infrazione stradale.

 

La ferocia di entrambi gli episodi contrasta con tutta la solidarietà , bontà, verso gli Ucraini, la cui guerra sta influendo pesantemente sul destino di tante Nazioni.

Non che non sia giusto, ma mi colpisce il contrasto ( come anche l'ignorare il massacro del popolo Curdo, di cui non si parla) tra questa dusumanita' e tutta un'altra dedizione.

Siamo inondati, bombardati, ormai da 4 mesi, da immagini di distruzioni, massacri. Forse che i massacri di un popolo sono diversi dagli altri? I criminali sono soltanto Russi? O forse tutto questo serve per coprire altri reali motivi?

 

La fotografia è una foto di fiori blu di un'aiuola, controluce, con un filtro

 

A humanity without humanity

 

The massacre of Melilla, the killing of another young Afro American speak to our heart

"So let me disarm you

There's an army I'm fighting around your heart

Let me disarm you

'Cause baby I just want to love who you really are

Who you really are

So let me disarm you

So let me disarm you

 

Spoken in silence

Blazing like sirens

I can bring you out of the darkness

Into the fiery light." - KasKade

Excerpt from barnquilttrails.ca/barns/norfolk-county/whirling-geese/:

 

On August 8, 1812, Major General Isaac Brock travelled to Culver’s Tavern in Norfolk to give a passionate speech to the reluctant recruits, appealing to their patriotism to the crown. With this speech, he attempted to disarm the enemy and to unite the loyal. His ringing words had the desired effect. The Norfolk militia turned out in great numbers and was highly praised by Brock.

Весна! В мечтах не надо торопиться!

Хорошее приходит постепенно!

Всё будет! Всё хорошее случится!

Природа возродится непременно!

Вдруг зазвенит ручей в лесу спросонок,

И запоют несдержанные птицы,

Вздохнёт Земля весной новорождённой,

Всё будет, всё хорошее случится.

Разбудит мир безудержное солнце,

Свой жар на этот сонный мир обрушит,

И выплеснутся тысячи эмоций,

Которые нас всех обезоружат.

Весна! В мечтах не надо торопиться!

Всё будет, пусть хоть этот снег растает.

Пусть всё само приходит постепенно,

И наши души снова расцветают!

 

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

 

Spring! In dreams, do not rush!

Good things come gradually!

Everything will be fine! All good things will happen!

Nature will certainly be reborn!

Suddenly a stream will ring in the forest in a daze,

And the unrestrained birds will sing,

The Earth will sigh in the newborn spring,

Everything will happen, all good things will happen.

The unrestrained sun will wake up the world,

He will bring down his heat on this sleepy world,

And thousands of emotions will spill out,

Which will disarm us all.

Spring! In dreams, do not rush!

Everything will be fine, even if this snow melts.

Let everything come by itself gradually,

And our souls blossom again!
