A firm favourite with many armchair birders, the Robin is always a welcome sight in the garden. Being naturally confiding & curious, they'll often come in close & sit for a photo. I'll admit that this is sometimes a pleasant distraction, when a preferred subject is playing hard to get, as was the case here.

Muddy Trout Creek making it's way towards Okanagan Lake in Trout Creek Canyon. A cloudy, late afternoon hike into the canyon provided some low light, making it quite amenable for shooting long exposures.

La espera
La silenciosa cosecha de todos estos años
se agosta en los cajones, envejece conmigo.
De tarde en tarde, mi mano se distrae
quitándoles el polvo a esos vestigios
de emoción
que se niegan a morir. Vuelven siempre,
sumisos, al anónimo reposo de la espera.
Se alinean al azar bajo inseguros rótulos
que alivian, como huellas, mi paso por el tiempo.
Austeros epitafios,
sombras, murmuraciones vagas
que se acogen, como gatos,
a la escueta caricia de la melancolía.
Lomagnupur mountain reflecting in a roadside pool. It helped that tourism was down during my visit. Otherwise, I may not have been able to pull over to make some of the photographs. There were not many pull-outs on the road, and virtually no shoulder; so no traffic was helpful in seeing ahead to make stops when possible. South Iceland, April 2021

Ci saranno momenti dolorosi della tua vita che cambieranno tutto in un minuto.
Fa' che ti rendano più forte, più arguta, più gentile. Ma non diventare ciò che non sei.
Piangi, urla, se devi. Poi rimettiti a posto e va' avanti
(Cit.)

I had to come and see Dornoch Beach especially as the clouds were amazing. The tide was away out so there was miles and miles of sand and it was very firm.
A gorgeous little collection of lichens on a boulder on the beach at Split Rock on Lake Superior.The big foliose formation is a type of rockshield and the orange and blue crustose could be any number of things.

This is a portrait without much information - actually without any information, but where the personality of the sitter shines through very clearly.
I do not know who this woman is, I do not know the name of the photographer nor do I know where this photo was taken. There is absolutely nothing printed or written on it.
But perhaps I lied a bit when I said there is no information. You can deduce some. I bought it on an online auction in Sweden, so it is reasonable to assume this woman to be Swedish (most old portraits I own has been bought in country of origin). The date is likely early to mid 1860s - based on both her fashion, and the simplicity of the card itself which by the end of the decade were getting much more ornate.
The woman herself must have been well off - by the end of the 19th century and in the early 20th going to the photographer were something most people did, perhaps not often and most likely as something quite special, but they did it. And every little town had at least one photo studio (and many more than that), But this is much earlier when it would have been much more expensive and much less common. But all the same, look at her hand. That is the hand of someone who is using them for work - tanned and coarse. No wedding ring though, so probably not married. The dress itself is in tune with the fashion of the time, but strict and with no extra frills. At the same time she is wearing jewelery - both a brooch and a couple of necklaces. If I were to guess, I would say she is the daughter of a well-to-do but still hard-working farmer.
