Dans la semaine, je suis allée au marais près de chez moi pour voir si les passereaux migrateurs étaient de retour. Je roulais sur la petite route sur laquelle donne ce que j'appelle mon "chemin magique" en raison de la grande variété de d'oiseaux qui viennent y nicher. Environ 200m avant d'y arriver, deux Cigognes se nourrissaient sur le bas côté de la route. L'une s'est immédiatement envolée, l'autre est restée. J'étais sûre qu'elle ne tarderait pas à aussi s'envoler. J'ai adapté ma vitesse à sa lente et élégante marche en restant à distance raisonnable et en roulant du côté opposé. Je m'arrêtais de temps en temps pour la photographier. Elle continuait de se nourrir sans tenir compte de ma présence tout en en étant consciente. Je suis même descendue de voiture mais même ça, ça ne l'a pas fait s'envoler. Elle a traversé la route devant moi pour aller sur l'autre bas côté mais, apparemment le premier lui plaisait plus. Nous avons repris notre lente avancée, je continuais de rouler à son rythme. Ma seule inquiétude, était qu'une autre voiture arrive ou même des cyclistes qui auraient rompu le charme de cette déambulation. C'est un cul-de-sac mais quand même.
Arrivées là où commence le chemin de terre, j'ai pensé que nos chemins allaient se séparer, qu'elle allait continuer sur la route. A ma surprise, elle est entrée dans le petit chemin et je l'ai suivie. A ce moment-là, je me suis dit que si elle continuait dans ce chemin, je ne l'accompagnerais pas. Il est étroit et c'est son domaine plus que le mien. Au bout d'une dizaine de mètres elle s'est arrêtée, j'ai coupé le moteur dans l'attente de ce qu'elle allait faire. Elle est passée devant la voiture et s'est arrêtée à un mètre de ma portière. Nous avons échangé un regard puis elle est repartie vers la route du même pas tranquille.
C'était comme si elle m'avait guidée vers ce chemin, là où je voulais précisément aller.
Des moments comme ça sont sans prix et marquent pour la vie.
Je n'ai aucune explication sur le comportement de cet oiseau sans peur.
Plus tard, j'ai revu d'autres Cigognes dans les prairies mais à 100mètres elles s'envolaient !

This week, I went to the marsh near my home to see if the passerines were back in this little "magic path" as I named it because there are so many different species. About 200 meters before the entrance of this path, two Storks were feeding on the side of the small road. One immediately flew away, the other stayed. She plunged her beak into the ground while walking with her calm and elegant step without paying attention to me while being aware of my presence. I drove slowly, at her pace, stopping from time to time to photograph her.
Arrived at the entrance of the small path, I thought that our paths were going to separate, that she would continue straight ahead on the road. To my surprise, she walked a few meters into the small path and then stopped. At that moment, I told myself that if she continued on this path, I would not accompany her. It is narrow and it is her domain more than mine.
I stopped my car waiting for her decision. She turned to me, walked around the car and stopped one meter from me. We looked at each other then she went back, slowly, on the road where we had met a few moments earlier. I had the impression that she was guiding me to my exact destination and, once arrived, she left on her own.
It's the kind of event that makes you say the day was worth living ! I'll never forget what happened that day.
Later, the same day, I saw other Storks ... which flew away when they were 100 meters from me !
What emotions my companion for a few moments will have brought me !
“Lest we forget” – three very simple, yet also very powerful words. First used in an 1897 poem written by Rudyard Kipling called “Recessional”, to mark Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, they caution us to be careful not to forget.
As we take a moment this Armistice Day to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our peace, prosperity and stability, and those who fight today to protect us still, let us also hope that conflicts around the world will come to a swift conclusion.
Armistice Day or Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. It falls on the 11th of November every year. Remembrance Day is marked at eleven o’clock (the time that the armistice was declared) with a minute’s silence to honour the fallen. Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919, the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries.

Don`t forget Faaaav ★
Do not forget to say goodbye, to give a caress before going to work.
Never forget to love who you want
Do not forget that time passes, that today will become
in tomorrow with the passing of the hours.
Do not forget that it is not always easy, that sometimes one is wrong.
Don't forget that not everything is perfect, that dark days suddenly appear.
Maybe everything is summed up in being when you have to be, in staying with someone who makes you smile even when you don't want to, maybe everything is never forgetting who remembers you every day.
Do not forget.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day is an international memorial day on January 27th commemorating the tragedy of the Holocaust that occurred during the Second World War. It commemorates the genocide that resulted in the deaths of 6 million Jews and 11 million others, by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. It was designated by the United Nations General Assembly resolution 60/7 on 1 November 2005 during the 42nd plenary session. The resolution came after a special session was held earlier that year on 24 January 2005 during which the United Nations General Assembly marked the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps and the end of the Holocaust.
On 27 January 1945, Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration and death camp, was liberated by the Red Army.
"For ever let this place be a cry of despair and a warning to humanity, where the nazis murdered about one and a half million men, women and children, mainly jews from various countries of Europe Auschwitz-Birkenau 1940 - 1945."
La Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas proclamó oficialmente que se designe el 27 de enero el Día Internacional de Conmemoración en Memoria de las Víctimas del Holocausto. Se conmemora la liberación por las tropas soviéticas del campo de concentración y exterminio nazi de Auschwitz-Birkenau cuando fue liberado por el ejército soviético el 27 de enero de 1945, hoy hace 75 años.
La placa conmemorativa a la entrada del campo de exterminio dice: "Por siempre deja que este lugar sea un llanto de desamparo, una advertencia a la humanidad, donde los nazis asesinaron alrededor de 1 millón y medio de hombres, mujeres y niños, en su mayoría judíos de distintos países de Europa. Auschwitz-Birkenau 1940 - 1945".

Just feeling a bit lazy this morning and somehow that's when a floral photo appeals to me. Not my favorite subject for photos because I just never think my florals are all that great. I generally don't like cut flowers because they're not living. Animals, birds, and flowers should be viewed and enjoyed alive. After all, that's when they are most beautiful!
