Immortality
by Lindsay Laurie
Mortal are us human kind
seeking peace with baited breath.
Immortality imparts the mind
to believe there is no death.
Immortality is really history …
writings from the then times wealth.
Replayed in a similar mode
as history repeats itself.
Each tiny fraction of the puzzle,
is ancient generations text,
leads the way to consider
what right now is needed next …
Each year reaches new horizons,
the past has been addressed -
and we live our life believing,
our time is the very best.
Haymaker's/Mower's Mushroom (Panaeolus foenisecii)
For Macro Mondays - Odd
These tiny mushrooms - the largest here being just 8 mm diameter were in Kath's lawn today.
Happy Macro Monday!
Taken for the macro mondays weekly assignment: cloth/Textile My late grandfather gave my dad this vest several years ago and my dad gave it to me about four years ago. Someday I will be able to give this to one of my sons. Top quality, in its day it must have costed a fortune.
"Tugs have been towing aggregate-laden barges out of British Columbia’s Pitt River and on down the Fraser River since the days of wooden scows and steam-powered tugs. Since the earliest days the boats have had to contend with the railway bridge about three miles upstream from the Pitt’s confluence with the Fraser River. Over the generations, skippers have learned a lot about the tides and river currents that challenged the old steam power and continue to challenge the modern diesel-powered tugs. This is not stuff that is taught in maritime training schools. It is knowledge that is learned by making the run with an experienced captain and finally by new captains feeling their way into the job."

In remembrance of the Unknown Soldier
Dan Barton has created and installed 101 6ft tall Armistice day Soldier Silhouettes to Commemorate the end of WW1 and 75 poppy wreathes to commemorate the end of WW2 at The Aston Rowant Nature Reserve. The Natural England Reserve can be found on the hillside at Stokenchurch, Oxfordshire above the M40 Motorway.
Dan hopes to raise funds for The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal and has set up a Just Giving Page.
Dan hopes this installation will provoke thought as people drive along the M40 motorway to remind us to enjoy the freedom we have and to teach our younger generations to treasure and cherish their freedom and to live well. Dan believes that all that we have in this moment is possible because of those that have come before us.

Generations of our family show the passing of time. The baby in the bottom right hand photograph is now in her late 40s.

Had a fun shoot the other day with a BMW E92 M3 and a F80 M3. Which one do you prefer, coupe or sedan? Personally I prefer the F80 sedan, I just love the fact it looks so much wider than the E92.

Three generations happily spending their Sunday morning fishing.
Takes me back over 50 years ago when I was doing the same thing but with less sophisticated equipment. What I caught was cooked for my lunch. I ate well.
I conclude this series of pictures at Chinese New Year with these two delightful people. They looked so proud having their picture taken at the New Year celebrations
It was fun to observe an intriguing behaviour of the family of Common Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus) on a duckweed-covered pond. On the left, there are two immature chicks sharing the nest (just about) with one adult parent arriving with food. If you look closer, the heads of two recently hatched chicks looking for food can be seen at the rare of two older siblings; in fact there are at least three younger chicks. What happened next was that one of the big chicks got the food from the adults. Luckily, the third immature chick arrived at the nest and gave some food to one younger sibling (image on the right).
I have seen this amazing behaviour for the first time and somewhat puzzling to me until I read Tim Welling’s narrative (www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/54682384374/in/dateposted/). Tim so well described this unique behaviour of Moorhen when more than one generation lives together and helps each other – thanks Tim!
The scientific name translates as a ‘little hen’ with ‘green foot’ derived from the Latin species name ‘Gallinula’ and from the Greek specific epithet name ‘chloropus’, respectively.

This is a rework of an older post. Selective colour, bit of a contrast tweak, etc... whatever, I like it 😀

GÉNÉRATION
En hommage à Florence, ma petite-fille, qui m’a spontanément proposé le titre de cette image.
__________
Sur ces rivages bordés d’infini, un père initie son jeune fils à l’art de la pêche en eau peu profonde. Au premier abord, on pourrait croire qu’il s’agit d’une simple scène de pêche, pourtant…
Dans nos sociétés, l’idée de génération est souvent réduite à une opposition statique entre le passé et l’avenir, entre l’ancien et le nouveau. Je crois plutôt qu’il faut y voir un mouvement, un mouvement continu de transmission et d’évolution des connaissances et des mentalités humaines. En somme, cette transmission, notamment par la filiation, permets à l’originel de rester original et de poursuivre l’aventure humaine. * Ce que nous appelons « l’avenir » est, en fait, le résultat de l’interaction et de la transmission par toutes les générations. **
_________
Ici, sur ces rivages bien en retrait des mondes utopiques qui alimentent la fureur de nos sociétés, le père et le fils renouent avec la patience et la modestie fondamentale de l’existence des êtres. Et aussi avec l’enchantement originel devant la beauté et le mystère de notre monde.
La pêche aura été un bon prétexte pour cela.

GENERATION
In honor of Florence, my granddaughter, who spontaneously suggested the title of this image.
__________
On these shores bordered by infinity, a father introduces his young son to the art of shallow-water fishing. At first glance, one might think this is a simple fishing scene, yet...
In our societies, the idea of generation is often reduced to a static opposition between past and future, between old and new. Instead, it should be seen as a movement, a continuous movement of transfer and evolution of knowledge and human mentalities. In short, this transfer, particularly through filiations (kinship), allows the original to remain original and to continue the human adventure.* What we call the future is, in fact, the result of all these generations interacting.
._________
Here, on these shores far removed from the utopian worlds that fuel the fury of our societies, father and son reconnect with the patience and fundamental modesty of being. Also with the original enchantment in front of the beauty and mystery of our world.
Fishing was a good excuse for this.
