with improbability.”

The Yaquina Head Light, also known early in its existence as the Cape Foulweather Lighthouse, is a lighthouse on the Oregon Coast of the United States. It is located in Lincoln County, near the mouth of the Yaquina River near Newport at Yaquina Head. The tower stands 93 feet (28 m) tall, and is the tallest lighthouse in Oregon.

La Nature pourtant reste à jamais entière,

C’est que tout corps grossit de ce qu’un autre perd ;

C’est d’automnes flétris que le printemps est vert.

Ainsi, rien ne s’arrête et tout se renouvelle ;

L’existence est un prêt ; la vie est mutuelle

De Rerum Natura, Livre II (Titus Lucretius Carus, 99BC.–55BC.) Traduction : André Lefèvre

Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance. Look at the flowers — for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are :-)

Thanks for the visit ......happy Blue Monday :-)

    

...

when I am another, my acts

are more mine when they are the acts

of others, in order to be I must be another,

leave myself, search for myself

in the others, the others that don't exist

if I don't exist, the others that give me

total existence, I am not,

there is no I, we are always us,

life is other, always there,

further off, beyond you and

beyond me, always on the horizon,

life which unlives us and makes us strangers,

that invents our face and wears it away...

Thomson's Gazelle, wildebeest and zebra gather at the waterhole at the Ngorongoro crater, Tanzania.

Existence is short but if you need me

You can find me trapped between

The open mouth of the sky monster

Glaring eyes above and below

Teeth that pierce the clouds

A forest face and a dense destructive blue

 

Please note that my call back hours are short

The internet connection is quite drained

It is better to visit in person or

Write your tender message

On a folded fortune cookie strip

and blow it upwards.

Silence, to remind us that we all need to feel life.

A solitary pansy ekes out an existence in a narrow crack between the paving stones where ants have disturbed the soil below allowing it to find enough nutrients to survive.

If you surrendered to the air, you could ride it.

First of some fun playing with various shutter speeds.

We ought not to be embarrassed of appreciating the truth and of obtaining it wherever it comes from, even if it comes from races distant and nations different from us. Nothing should be dearer to the seeker of truth than the truth itself, and there is no deterioration of the truth, nor belittling either of one who speaks it or conveys it. Al-Kindi

Happy Slider Sunday

Something different and high key.

Yes, there's a less famous Medellin than the one in Colombia, I must admit I wasn't aware of its existence until a few days before I decided to spend the night there either, view from the banks of the Guadiana river. Night version to be uploaded next. Happy Monday to all.

Very cool exhibit at ARTECHOUSE, DC

 

Another reflection, but no puddles this time :)

Baby I've known lonely

So let me down now slowly

Tell me I'm your only

Even if it hurts

I like the way this sits alone. Seems a shame. I have never seen any sign of occupation.

Happy Window Wednesday

It was a time when cars were built and Americans would get greasy fixing and maintaining their own vehicles because we could. This is truly a gem of a find. There are only 119 of these Chrysler Imperials left in existence
