The coppersmith barbet (Psilopogon haemacephalus), also called crimson-breasted barbet and coppersmith, is an Asian barbet with crimson forehead and throat, known for its metronomic call that sounds similar to a coppersmith striking metal with a hammer. It is a resident bird in the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia. It carves out holes inside a tree to build its nest. It is predominantly frugivorous, but has been observed eating insects, especially winged termites.

“Life does not proceed by the association and addition of elements, but by dissociation and division.” - Henri Bergson
Sirius in the constellation Canis Major is about 8.6 light years (50 trillion miles) from Earth. That’s relatively close considering the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light years away. Alas, I was hoping for a clear night sky.
Do you see it now?
In her eyes?
The distance.
You've lost her.
While you were busy taking her for granted she drifted...
..a million miles away.

texturas de ana librillana - dulce ,
Los girones de niebla enredan
mis ojos, mis manos y mis pies
dejando el corazón inerme
como pino solitario
entregado a la contemplación.
Desde la cima el páramo
parece el pezón del cielo azul
que amamanta el milagro de la vida
en la cuna de silencio y luz.
Humilde brota el agua
de líquenes y piedras
como si salieran del alma de la tierra
un raudal de sentimientos
que cabalgan sobre el lomo
de las lágrimas.
Abajo el pueblo en su algazara
olvida el trabajo de los árboles
que soportan la negación de los colores
en el arco iris del carbón.
Sólo los niños que juegan en el prado
detienen el ritmo de la ronda...
Miran la montaña oculta por la niebla
y presagian que sin páramos ni árboles
se detendrá para siempre su canción.
Efraín Gutiérrez Zambrano
Taken at Chichester Marina last week. I have called it Social Distancing because a young couple on the far pier at the left hand side of the picture were sitting alone watching the sunset. I wanted to reflect what was going on at the moment with Social Distancing and I felt this captured the mood.

Still between Touabaa - Matmata but a little further East the railway crosses a long bridge with a dried up lake in the background. With the hire car, the little Kia that could parked below we waited for the train. Interestingly a group walked across the bridge as we started to hear horns in the distance and thankfully just made it across before it came round the bend, clearly the locals know how to judge it!

Here is someone who had found a peaceful spot for serous "social distancing."
BTW, I am glad "social distancing" does not apply to our dog (or any dog). According to what I read, dogs don't get the current coronavirus. Unfortunately for cat lovers (and cats themselves) cats do. A number of big cats in zoos are infected.
Oh me.
NB - I used a telephoto focal length (FF equiv. 150mm) to bring the distant tree close. The day was bright enough to use a small aperture (f/13) that kept everything in focus. Also, a high shutter speed (1/320s) kept details quite sharp for a hand-held shot.
Location: On a hill with a view, near Dattenlochweg, Riehen BS Switzerland.

It has been hard days for all of us. Distancing in social has gone too far. We might even be too distant to ourselves.
Keep safe!..
Thank you for your time and to stop by and for commenting, faving to my works.
My heart, can't be confined,
by the distance that we share.
I know that when I sleep at night,
your reflections await me there.
A lake of dreams, or so it seems,
send ripples through my mind.
And takes me back, to a special place,
that now seems lost in time.
... wild horse-watchers talk about 'flight distance' when it comes to the number of feet/yards that mustangs will allow between you and them before they flee. For some, the flight distance is a quarter of a mile. For others, it's more like fifty feet. But for some mustangs ... they're so wild ... they don't flee at all. They charge in for a look at the human tucked in the sagebrush!
Distance and aperture scales on a Rokinon 8mm ƒ/3.5 fisheye lens. The Rokinon brand is made by South Korea-based Samyang Optics.
The quality of this lens is quite good for a low-cost offering. To keep the cost low, however, it's a purely mechanical design with manual focus and aperture. It's still very capable of delivering decent results.
The diameter at the widest part shown here, the aperture ring, is just under 2¾ inches (69.9mm).
