Watching the Golden grain as it unloads. Harvest in the Wimmera is in full swing!

Prima mattinata in terra spagnola...facciamo un po' di prove per prendere confidenza con la location ed i soggetti...poi Andrea decide che è ora di aggiungere qualche chicca al set..Loro sono molto belle e confidenti e danno parecchie possibilità di provare con il dinamico.

Presto i nuovi scatti sul mio sito.

...Stay tuned...

Noticed these two groups of milkweed bugs in my morning walk today. Can you imagine the topic for the discussion?

Note the social spacing, are they good? You better believe it!

  

Colloque (Lewis Pagé — 1969)

Trois personnages masculins stylisés, mais d’une grande expressivité semblent en plein conciliabule.

Sky looked around his three friends as they sat on the sofa staring into nothingness.

“What is going on?” He asked as he sat beside Barnaby.

“I am thinking.” Replied Barnaby with a smile.

“Really, that is unusual.” Said Sky looking surprised.

“Yes, it is.” Said Barnaby still smiling.

“You normally leave the thinking to ineffectuals like me.” Said Sky proudly. “What were you thinking about?”

Sky saw both Posh and Bertie smile as they listened to the conversation.

“I was thinking, what should I think about.” Said Barnaby proudly.

“What had you deluded from your think, Barnaby?” Asked Sky who liked using long words to confuse other bears.

“Nothing, Sky, no nothing at all… yet.” Barnaby replied.

“I should not worry, Barnaby, for even us ineffectuals can’t think what to think about at times.” Said Sky.

“Is that so, Sky, well I must be well on the way to becoming a genius, just like yourself.”

“Well, maybe, but I feel you still have a way to go young Barnaby. Being a genius like what I am, well that takes age, as well as cleverness. It is only when you have equal quantities of each that a bear can become a true genius.” Said Sky nodding his head in agreement with himself.

“I see, so how many sleeps are equal to however you measure cleverness, Sky?” Asked Barnaby looking excited by this intellectual discussion.

“Well, more than three, Barnaby, I know that because I can count to three. I am not sure what comes after that.”

“Ah, so to become a genius then Sky, a bear does not have to count any further than three?” Asked Barnaby.

“No, I think not. After all, what is the point? When one can count up to three, a bear can do that three times, and I do not suppose there are any numbers that are more than that.”

“That is encouraging, Sky. I had not thought of it that way.” Said Barnaby smiling at his hero.

“No, I do not suppose you would young Barnaby, it takes a genius like what I am to work things out like that. A true ineffectual genius.” Said Sky proudly.

Two Caspian Terns, off to themselves, looking very much like they were deep in discussion over something very important.

A group of girls having a chat during the lunch break.

(see the group "Gurukul" for more details)

“There you are Barnaby; I think the man was looking for you so he can try and take our picture.” Said Posh Bear smiling as young Barnaby climbed up on the sofa to be with his friends.

“He’ll find me when he looks through that picture taking thingy he has. I have been talking to Ellie again.”

“What did Ellie have to say for herself? I thought she was going to fly to Cambridge or Australia.” Said Sky

“She was Sky, but she got lost just outside the car park again. She said she is going to think about it first. Ellie did go up high in the air though, I think she enjoys doing that.”

“Yes, I have seen her do that a few times myself.” Said Bertie nodding his head in agreement.

“Ellie was telling me that she likes to go up nice and high so she can see the whole world going round and round.”

“Really? I didn’t know the world went round and round.” Said Bertie looking startled by this piece of news.

“Well, you wouldn’t, Bertie, only clever bears and genius bears like Sky, know things like that. Us less clever ones still have a lot to learn.”

“Did you know the world is going round and round, Sky?” Asked Bertie.

“I thought everyone knew that, Bertie. It must have just slipped your memory.” He replied.

“What I couldn’t work out, Sky, is if the world is going round and round why are us bears not dizzy and falling over all the time. Yet, if I spin around a few times, I then fall over because I become dizzy.” Asked Barnaby looking at his hero to supply the answer.

“It is a little complicated for a bear of your size, Barnaby. Could you think of an easy way to answer this question, Posh?”

“No, Sky, it is all beyond me, why don’t you explain?” Said Posh Bear smiling.

“Ellie didn’t know and yet she told me she was a genius, but I told her she was nowhere near as clever as you, Sky and you are a genius, so she can’t be. I did say that I thought she was quite clever for a pink elephant that was very old, verging on ancient. I don’t think she appreciated me telling her that for she gave a hump sound then lay down and went to sleep.” Explained Barnaby looking surprised at what had happened.

“I don’t think you should have told Ellie she was old, verging on ancient, Barnaby.” Said Posh Bear.

“But, it is against the rules to tell lies, Posh, you said so.” Argued Barnaby.

Tag the tiger looked about trying to follow this conversation and failing.

“It is all down to speed, Barnaby, this rotation stuff.” Said Sky changing the subject. “You see the world moved very slowly, it takes whole day to go all the way around, from one sleep to another in fact. When you spin around you go fast and it is that that makes you dizzy and fall over. Is that not right, Posh Bear?” Said Sky feeling very important to have explained so well.

“You could be right, Sky, I have never thought about it.” Replied Posh Bear still wondering about Ellie.

“I agree with you, Posh, it is a little unkind to tell Ellie that, even if it is true.” Said Bertie.

“I agree, I think we should all go and see her and tell her that even though she is old and falling apart, we are still her friends.” Said Sky looking around for agreement.

“Yes, I suppose so, on reflection, maybe I was a littler harsh.” Said Barnaby. “Let us all go and see her and tell her because we are her best friends we’ll all come to the moon at the weekend with her and she can fly downside up all the way?”

Barnaby looked around expecting agreement but all he saw was slightly flustered bears.

“It would be a shame to wake her up if she is sleeping, perhaps we could do that, or something else later on.” Said Posh Bear and the others agreed.

“Posh that is very confusing for a little bear like me?” Said Barnaby.

“Why is that, Barnaby?”

“You said it would be a shame to wake her up if she was sleeping.”

“Yes, that is right.”

“How could you wake her up if she was not sleeping? You see Posh, it is things like that which stop me from being a genius, like my best friend ever, Sky.”

“Little bear, you have a long way to go before you even reach clever, and Sky has even further to go before he reaches the cleverness level of Posh. It takes time and learning, not something that a young bear should rush.” Said Bertie smiling at Posh Bear who he knew had plenty of jars of honey left.

“I never did understand bears… strange creatures. Why didn’t he just ask for the honey?” Thought Tag the tiger.

What the American people deserve, I think, is a true, legitimate, peer-reviewed, objective, transparent discussion about CO2.
