Arches National Park

Moab, Utah

December 2015

Like little rays of sunshine.

 

The colors remind me of a fruit salad. I wonder what tangerine, persimmon and jicama would taste like together.

 

Pair it with a new blue superfood and discover new worlds...

 

Aboutme

Der Delicate Arch im Arches National Park ist wahrscheinlich nicht nur der berühmteste Natursteinbogen der USA, sondern wohl auch der meist fotografierteste. Insbesondere zum Sonnenuntergang, wo sich die Farbe minütlich ändert. Auf einer Höhe von 1.471 Meter hat man auch einen sehr schönen Blick auf die La Sal Mountains, die in vielen Monaten des Jahres schneebedeckt sind.

 

The Delicate Arch in Arches National Park is probably not only the most famous natural stone arch in the USA, but also the most photographed. Especially at sunset, when the colour changes by the minute. At an altitude of 4.829 ft., you also have a very beautiful view of the La Sal Mountains, which are covered in snow during many months of the year.

Se le conoce con los nombres comunes de achicoria amarga o taraxacón, esta planta debe su nombre más frecuente al término proveniente del francés antiguo dent de lion, que literalmente significa "diente de león", en referencia a la forma afilada de sus ho

Part of getting through life is accepting, and dealing with, our weaknesses. Which doesn't mean they aren't still a pain in the butt.

 

Me, I'm over-sensitive to all kinds of sensory input - and input affecting my sensors. For instance, even in August in our constant ocean breezes, I daren't go outside without my ears covered.

 

This is, of course, a huuuge pain. When everyone else is out in shorts and bathing suits, I'm sweating with a big fleecy band around my head. It sucks, but the alternative (excruciating ear aches) sucks a whole lot worse.

 

I'm also overly sensitive to noise. And bright light. Especially bright flashing light that hits my eyes unexpectedly. So... imagine how much fun I am as a companion at a rawk show. Normally I take along ear plugs. Last night I forgot.

 

I guess I was lulled into complacency by the fact that the show was at a theatre. A play house. A place I last attended in my teens, when I saw some Shakespearean production there. So yeah... I went in plugless. And immediately regretted it. Still... I was up for enjoying myself... until the %$(*&$%(&ing light show started.

 

I can't imagine whose idea it was to flash big spotlights directly into the audience's eyes repeatedly throughout the night. Probably the same wise person who decided a super-bright sign behind the band... illuminated by 10,000 1,000 watt bulbs... was also a very good thing to flash repeatedly in the audience's eyes.

 

What really amazed me was that no one else seemed bothered. Whereas I was in several sorts of agony all night.

 

The bright flashing lights. Fuck, man. I thought I was gonna have a seizure or something. I ended up spending most of the night doubled over with my head in my lap, eyes closed, hands clamped over my face. Every time I tried to enjoy actually watching the band... zappo! Unexpected blasts of super-bright white light set off pinball explosions in my brain.

 

So today is pretty much a write-off. Migraine city, man.

 

And I HATE HATE HATE that my body is so delicate.

 

I'm from sturdy peasant stock. Why am I so fragile? Why do things that normal people take in stride disable me?

 

Sorry for the whining self-pity. Kee-rist. At least I know, without a doubt, that I am now too old for rawk shows. Goodbye youth. Your time has come and gone. From now on I'll just satisfy myself by listening to records at home.

 

Cowslip - The Cowslip is a cousin of the Primrose and is also an early spring flower. Formerly a common plant of traditional hay meadows, ancient woodlands and hedgerows, the loss of these habitats has caused a serious decline in its populations and now fields coloured bright yellow with its nodding heads are a rare sight.

Yesterday's flower was on the extravagant side, so today I'm posting one that is more delicate.

Hi everyone,

 

This was taken in early summer when the astrantias were just beginning to bloom. I cropped it this way because I wanted to include the single strand of a spider's web.

bits of summer...

Hello there,

 

For two summers, I've had my eye on a small rose bush that I often walk by. There aren't many blooms and the few that have been there were not accessible to photograph from the sidewalk. Finally, my luck turned and one bloom was in the right spot (for me)!

 

Have a wonderful day and weekend!
