Behold the enchanting beauty of nature embodied in this charming grey squirrel! ️ With its soft, silver-gray fur and curious, beady eyes, it gracefully navigates the branches, bringing life and energy to the lush greenery of the forest.
In this serene moment frozen in time, the squirrel perches atop a sturdy tree limb, its delicate paws clinging effortlessly to the bark. Its fluffy tail acts as a natural balancing tool, swaying gently in the breeze as if in perfect harmony with the surrounding foliage.
With remarkable agility and acrobatic prowess, the grey squirrel leaps from branch to branch, exploring its arboreal playground with boundless curiosity. Its inquisitive nature makes it a playful observer of the world, always on the lookout for hidden treasures and tasty treats.
As the sun casts dappled light through the canopy, illuminating the squirrel's fur with a touch of ethereal glow, it becomes a living embodiment of tranquility and grace. This captivating creature serves as a reminder of the delicate balance and resilience found in nature's tapestry.
In this photograph, the grey squirrel becomes the protagonist of its own tale, inviting us to embrace the wonders of the natural world. Its presence reminds us to pause, appreciate the smaller moments, and celebrate the beauty that surrounds us.
Let this image serve as a gentle invitation to explore the enchanting world of grey squirrels and to cherish the remarkable creatures that inhabit our shared planet. May it inspire awe, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for the intricate wonders that exist just outside our windows.

Windsor Castle is a royal residence at Windsor in the English county of Berkshire. It is strongly associated with the English and succeeding British royal family, and embodies almost 1000 years of architectural history.
The original castle was built in the 11th century after the Norman invasion of England by William the Conqueror. Since the time of Henry I, it has been used by the reigning monarch and is the longest-occupied palace in Europe. The castle's lavish early 19th-century State Apartments were described by early 20th century art historian Hugh Roberts as "a superb and unrivalled sequence of rooms widely regarded as the finest and most complete expression of later Georgian taste". Inside the castle walls is the 15th-century St George's Chapel, considered by the historian John Martin Robinson to be "one of the supreme achievements of English Perpendicular Gothic" design.
After a period of neglect during the 18th century, George III and George IV renovated and rebuilt Charles II's palace at colossal expense, producing the current design of the State Apartments, full of Rococo, Gothic and Baroque furnishings. Queen Victoria made a few minor changes to the castle, which became the centre for royal entertainment for much of her reign. Windsor Castle was used as a refuge by the royal family during the Luftwaffe bombing campaigns of the Second World War and survived a fire in 1992. It is a popular tourist attraction, a venue for hosting state visits, and the preferred weekend home of Queen Elizabeth II.

Puerto Villamil (on the southeastern corner of Isla Isabela) embodies the archetypal end of the road – in a good way, the kind that lures weary city folks to pick up and move halfway around the world. Backed by a lagoon where flamingos and marine iguanas live, and situated on a beautiful white-sand beach, it’s a sleepy village of sandy roads and small homes. However, overdevelopment threatens, and there’s been something of a mini building boom over the past several years.
Undoubtedly, when General José Villamil moved here in 1832 with hopes of organizing a model community made up mostly of whalers, he found the location as beguiling as do today’s visitors. Unfortunately, the draftees’ peaceful inclinations proved to be more utopian than real, and they ended up destroying the colony. Villamil later introduced cows, horses and donkeys, which quickly reproduced, threatening the island’s delicate ecosystem.
Naufragiul Universal - Marco Vargas and Chloé Brûlé accept the challenge of meeting in a show created for unique spaces. Starting point? A wreck and two lost creatures desperately trying to form a connection and find a way out. The need for movement will determine the course of this journey, and with the help of simple elements, the way will be opened to build and conquer spaces. The "Shipwreck" (Naufragio Universal) reveals the great spirit of mankind, by embodying the fragility and instinct of human survival.
"“See you at Sunset!” This iconic phrase has embodied the spirit and history of Key West since the event took off in the late 1960s! Beginning two hours before sunset, it’s a celebration and view that has captured the love and astonishment of iconic figures from Mark Twain in the 1800s to Tennessee Williams in the late 20th century! The Key West Sunset Celebration invites everyone to partake in watching the glowing pink and red sun sink into the Gulf of Mexico horizon. The nightly festival hosts visitors from all over the world who come to take part in the magicians, jugglers, clowns, psychics, local musicians, artists, and food vendors that combine for an incredible cultural experience. It is a fusion of friends and talents that has captivated tourists and locals alike. This nightly party has everything any local or guest could ever hope to stumble upon. The beauty, sheer history, and pure passion of this event have been immortalized in renowned art, stories, poetry, and photography!"

Chaos embodied in a young Redbud Tree, Cercis canadensis, planted between the road and the old woodland in Cullinan Park, Sugar Land, Texas. Reminded me of the stringy distribution of Dark Matter on a cosmic scale, and of Vincent van Gogh’s “Flowering Plum Tree” (after Hiroshige, 1887), and especially “Almond Blossom” (1890), painted just before his death. Saw an exhibit of his work at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam some decades ago, which was interspersed with work by his contemporaries, treating similar subjects in not too dissimilar styles. On every wall, the merest glance would suffice to identify van Gogh, which invariably jumped out of the crowd to grab my attention.

The Berkana (ᛒ) rune embodies renewal of all forms of life and the nurturing power of creation. It symbolizes healing, protection, and the quiet strength that fosters transformation. Berkana does not hasten change; it tends it. Like the birch that bends in storm yet never breaks, it teaches patience and speaks of new beginnings - fresh paths unfolding after endings - and reminds us that true growth comes in silence.
This rune is a guardian of transitions, guiding those who step away from what no longer serves them. Berkana shows that renewal does not always appear as arrival; sometimes it is found in departure, in leaving behind the weight of what cannot be carried forward. It calls us to trust in the cycles of release and rebirth, to embrace the shelter that allows spirit and will to flourish.
“Through Berkana, every loss becomes a seed, and every silence a space for transformation to occur.”
In loving memory of Helen Mecklenburg-Bailey.

“For everything in this journey of life we are on, there is a right wing and a left wing: for the wing of love there is anger; for the wing of destiny there is fear; for the wing of pain there is healing; for the wing of hurt there is forgiveness; for the wing of pride there is humility; for the wing of giving there is taking; for the wing of tears there is joy; for the wing of rejection there is acceptance; for the wing of judgment there is grace; for the wing of honor there is shame; for the wing of letting go there is the wing of keeping. We can only fly with two wings and two wings can only stay in the air if there is a balance. Two beautiful wings is perfection. There is a generation of people who idealize perfection as the existence of only one of these wings every time. But I see that a bird with one wing is imperfect. An angel with one wing is imperfect. A butterfly with one wing is dead. So this generation of people strive to always cut off the other wing in the hopes of embodying their ideal of perfection, and in doing so, have created a crippled race.”

Merton distinguishes two aspects of wisdom: . . . metaphysical and speculative, an apprehension of the radical structure of human life, an intellectual appreciation of man in his human potentialities and in their fruition. . . . moral, practical, and religious, an awareness of man’s life as a task to be undertaken at great risk, in which tragic failure and creative transcendence are both possible . . . a peculiar understanding of conflict, of the drama of human existence, and especially of the typical causes and signs of moral disaster . . . beyond the conscious and systematic moral principles which may be embodied in an ethical doctrine and which guide our conscious activity. Wisdom also supposes a certain intuitive grasp of unconscious motivations, at least insofar as these are embodied in archetypes and symbolic configurations of the psyche.

“La Feminque Desiree” by its namesake embodies the essence of sexual possession.
The name Desiree is a girl's name of French origin meaning "desired, wished". La Feminique Desiree is thus implicit of a woman who becomes the object of desire for a man. She is both mysterious and sensual in truest surrealist spirit - his ultimate sexual fantasy underscored by the passionate quest to possess her.
It’s beautiful shrug top teasingly reveals the underbust. The sensuous shorts’ scantily side-tied appearance begs to be explored. Combined, these sexy pieces illicit nothing short of pure sexual empowerment. I think that Jenny should have sewn a warning label into this gorgeous, sensual, and sexy outfit.
This La Feminque Desiree outfit is exclusively available at this month's Swank Events which is celebrating its 7 Year Anniversary.

In the serene woodlands of Hacienda Montecristo, near the culturally rich Santa Rosa de Copán, I captured a tender moment between an Azure-crowned Hummingbird, Saucerottia cyanocephala, and her fledgling. This photograph embodies the essence of a mother's care, set against a backdrop where the verdure of Honduras unfolds in harmony with the simplicity of these birds' existence. The adult's vibrant azure crown, a stark contrast to the juvenile's developing plumes, speaks volumes of the life stages that I, as a photographer, am privileged to witness.
Utilizing a shallow depth of field, I sought to crystallize the duo's interaction while allowing the lush environment to softly blur into bokeh, highlighting the birds as the focal point. The diffused lighting of the canopy gently illuminated the iridescence of the mother's feathers, while the careful composition preserved the integrity of their natural behavior. This image is not just a visual record; it is a story of survival and continuity in the avian world, a narrative I strive to share through my lens. ©2022 Adam Rainoff
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today... Aha-ah...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace... You...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world... You...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

None of these portraits won the Archibald, but they embodied the growing celebrity culture of the second half of the 20th century. In the world of Australian celebrity these two people stand out: Internationally known comedian Barry Humphries en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Humphries and Ian “Molly” Meldrum en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molly_Meldrum. Although Molly is well known in rock music circles around the world for his quirky and passionate interviews, Barry is best known as his alter-ego Dame Edna Everage. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G6K34GWeas
The colourful painting of Edna Everage resplendent in pink gloves and coat, with lime green dress and blue floral hat was painted by one of Australia’s greatest artists who usually worked in monochromatic tones of brown. It will surprise some people that this is by John Brack (1920-1999). www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMNuO_5YSFk
The painting was entered in the Archibald in 1969 when Barry Humphries was becoming established in Britain as a major star.
www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/artboards/archie-100/the-cult-o...
In this photograph I was fascinated to see the way the woman looking at this painting was wearing similar spectacles and hair style and the line of her neck matches that of Edna’s back.
The portrait of a confident looking Molly Meldrum is a tour de force by Wes Walters in 1983. Anyone who knows his interview style understands this was not always the case. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0FooK4X9Zo
But the Egyptian theme is certainly something that fits Meldrum completely. He is a passionate collector of Egyptian artefacts. www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/artboards/archie-100/the-cult-o...
Theology is not a system of ideas. It is part of a wider religious language that operates within embodied patterns of ritual life and religious observance. As one of Williams’ later teachers, the Wittgensteinian theologian Fergus Kerr, observed: ‘If we cannot imagine what it is to observe rites, enjoy singing hymns and the like, the nature of religion is bound to remain opaque.’ 6 The priority of life over ideas: that is what gripped Williams’ imagination as a young Welsh reader of Wittgenstein.
-Christ the Stranger: The Theology of Rowan Williams, by Benjamin Myers
Temperance. Prudence. Courage. Justice.
The classic virtues are embodied by those who have earned the distinction to watch over the most sacred place in our country. In times of uncertainty, in times of war, in times of peace and prosperity, these young men and women remain ever vigilant, determined to achieve perfection in their duty.
None of them know who is entombed here. It is impossible to know if the unknown soldiers lived in a manner consistent with the honor bestowed upon them - it is unimportant. The tomb symbolizes the great sacrifice ordinary citizens have paid in order to secure the Blessings of our Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.
Unfortunately, in an age of increased jingoism espoused by demagogues, this symbolism often becomes distorted. Our nation thrives not because good men and women paid the ultimate measure of devotion to its cause. That sacrifice can never be repaid, nor should it be the goal to which our youth are called to aspire.
Constitutional scholar and Professor of Law at Duke University, H. Jefferson Powell finished an essay (published in The Summer 2006 edition of The Green Bag) entitled 'Constitutional Virtues' with the following: "The Constitution requires of us that we achieve decency and humanity. In that demand it achieves authority over us, not because we the People made it, but because it makes of us a People that we ought to be."
What matters more than the symbolism of the Tomb of the Unknowns is the fact that, in every generation, principled young men and women aspire to uphold these virtues above any circumstance or outside influence surrounding them. It is in the dedication of the Sentinel, who guards the honored unknown, that the power of their sacrifice is best represented. How powerful it would be if more Americans would routinely take 21-seconds to pause, vigilantly reflect, and aspire to be more humane and decent...in other words, more perfect in our duty as citizens.

Teylers in Haarlem embodies the great ideals of the Enlightenment. The fortune of Pieter Teyler (1702-1778) was used to found a centre for contemporary art and science. It was conceived as a Mouseion or Musaeum, referring to the great institution in Alexandria, in which scholars and collections were brought together under one roof to pursue knowledge and to create art. It was a revolutionary act to install such a centre for burghers by burghers without any influence of the authorities. The monopoly on information by authorities was thus changed into a democracy of knowledge.
Lectures, demonstrations, scientific research and the creation of art all took place on its premises. Immediately after its foundation Teylers developed close ties with the scientific world in Europe, resulting in a stream of visitors, correspondence and the acquisition of objects for scientific use or for artistic inspiration. Its first acquisition was the Encyclopédie by Diderot and d'Alembert.
The epic centre of the activities was the Oval Room, finished in 1784, which was built behind the house of Pieter Teyler. In the course of time new rooms were added, responding to new needs of the public and the scientists and to the growing collections. Once installed the rooms were never changed. From c. 1920 it was not longer possible to finance the activities of the scientists and the artists and the transition to a museum was completed.
The Teylers museum has been on the TENTATIVE UNESCO World Heritage list since 2011.
The Hume-Rowe House is an excellent example of vernacular Victorian residential architecture embodying elements of the Queen Anne style. The house features a prominent canted hipped roof, a bay window, a wraparound porch, a railing with gingerbread-style brackets, and turned wood balusters.
J.L. Hume, president of the First National Bank, purchased this property in 1897 and built the house around 1905, although it is still being determined whether the Hume family ever lived here. In 1905, Hume sold the property to Callie May Rowe, the daughter of James Cato Rowe and his wife, Mary.
James was an aide to Robert E. Lee during the Civil War and a member of a pioneer Austin family. Callie and her parents lived there until 1910, when James died. After that, Callie rented the house for several years, and Mary lived there from approximately 1916 to 1920. The house had a long series of owners before it was sold in 2006 to Aryn Sullivan, who applied for historic zoning for the property. Today, the house is a City of Austin Historic Landmark.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, the Hyde Park Historic District includes an eclectic mixture of architectural styles, from late 19th-century Queen Anne and Classical Revival homes to 20th-century bungalows and ranch houses. Additionally, many of the houses and buildings in Hyde Park have been designated City of Austin Historic Landmarks and Texas Historic Landmarks.

Excerpt from issuu.com/dtkownit/docs/field_guide_for_web:
BETWEEN THE ACTS
Artist: Jane Buyers
Location: 36 King Street West
Medium: Bronze
Between the Acts is a bronze relief representing part of the drapery and hem of a brocade theatre curtain, which appears to be billowing through the brick facade of the building from the stage inside.
The King Street Theatre, similar to most contemporary theatres, does not have a stage curtain. Nevertheless, the curtain remains a powerful symbol of the border between everyday life and the heightened experience that is the theatre. The image of a curtain embodies the anticipation, the excitement, the sense of magic and transformation that lie at the core of the theatrical experience.
Since Theatre & Company has since closed, this artwork serves as a bit of a historical document of what was once there.
This powerful grizzly bear is one of the many rescued residents of The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, Colorado. With a thick cinnamon-colored coat and a calm, purposeful stride, this bear embodies both strength and the dignity of a second chance. Captured with the Nikon Zf, the photo offers a close look at one of nature’s most iconic animals in a place where it can live out its days in peace and safety.

Intha Lake fishermen, renowned for their distinctive technique, navigate the waterways with a remarkable leg-rowing style. Perched at the stern of their slender wooden boats, these skilled fishermen balance on one leg while the other is wrapped around the oar. With a synchronized motion, they propel the boat forward, their arms free to manage the intricacies of the conical nets. This unique technique, evolved over generations, allows them to navigate the lake's shallow waters, where reeds and floating gardens abound. Their dexterity extends to the handling of the conical nets, an artful craft passed down through ancestral knowledge. With precision and grace, they manipulate these nets using a circular motion, skillfully casting them into the water to ensnare the abundant fish that thrive in Inle Lake's rich ecosystem. The harmony between their rowing and net handling embodies a tradition that not only sustains their livelihood but also stands as a testament to their cultural heritage and intimate relationship with the lake.
>Sunlight spills onto a Havana street corner, illuminating a vibrant display of tropical fruits. A weathered merchant, his face a map of stories, presides over his colorful bounty. More than just a vendor, he seems to embody the spirit of the city – resilient, vibrant, and brimming with the sweet taste.
in the early morning hush, beneath a sky heavy with mist, the sharp lines of the oculus rise like wings poised to take flight. designed by architect santiago calatrava, the oculus serves as the main transportation hub for the world trade center, its soaring steel ribs symbolizing a bird in flight. the building stands as a tribute to resilience, a stark contrast to the memories of loss that permeate this space.
above, one world trade center—commonly known as the freedom tower—pierces the sky, its pinnacle hidden in the thick, low-hanging clouds. this tower, the tallest building in the western hemisphere, embodies the strength and rebirth of the city. the photograph captures the serene tension of these structures on a misty day, moments before the rain began, freezing a moment where architecture and nature meld into a seamless tableau of urban poetry.
