from our garden - Frankfurt-Nordend
Despite all the
wars,
shootings,
floods,
droughts,
heatwaves,
famines,
lying politicians,
autocrats terrorising their people more and more
and the too hesitant and half-hearted measures
to combat global warming and the decline in biodiversity ...
have a Peaceful Blue Monday anyway!

The contrast could not be greater after the mist of Baguio , we visited the Philip-Ann beach resort , Anilao , Batangas.
Calabarzon on the island Luzon, Philippines
The song: I won't let the sun go down on me , is the theme song there.

And here is the sunset.
The info:
Anilao is a quiet barangay on the northern coast of Mabini, a peninsula-municipality that separates Balayan Bay from Batangas Bay. Yep, it’s just a barangay. But Anilao’s popularity as a good place to be prompted resorts in neighboring villages to market themselves as also part of Anilao. These days, as far as tourism is concerned, Anilao is almost synonymous to the whole Mabini municipality.
Thanks to its proximity to Manila (only 3 hours away), it has become an ideal destination for divers, especially to beginners who may be a bit hesitant to travel to the far corners of the country for a first dip. The hidden wonders it keeps in its depths are no longer secret, but they continue to amaze curious souls.

.... it seems to hear his invitation to follow him
in the deepest blue of sky .....
looking for spaces and dimensions unknown to us ...
Our eyes, curious but hesitant, keep watching his flight,
while our heart is already flying happily by his side ...
breathing the fascinating and mysterious scent of Freedom ....
.... sembra di sentire il suo invito a seguirlo
nel blu più profondo del cielo.....
alla ricerca di spazi e dimensioni a noi sconosciute...
I nostri occhi, curiosi ma esitanti continuano a guardare il suo volo,
mentre il nostro cuore sta già volando felice al suo fianco ...
respirando l'affascinante e misterioso profumo della Libertà…

This past year I felt my self a lot of time lost and disappointed.
So just let's bloom and so will do hopes, I'll hope ♥

Part of a Welsh Tic Tac Toe Game to fit in with today's Macro Mondays 'misfit'. I was hesitant in using this in case it was construed as Politically Incorrect.
Quoique discret et timide, il se montre quelquefois en dehors des périodes de nidification, dans les jardins où se trouvent de grands arbres à la campagne et dans les faubourgs. Cet oiseau très méfiant visite les mangeoires, tôt le matin, avant que l'activité humaine commence, si elles sont situées à proximité des étendues boisées et s'il s'y sent à l'abri de tout danger. Son apparition fait fuir les autres oiseaux. Il a appris à secouer les distributeurs de cacahuètes afin de déloger les noix. Le geai remplit alors sa gorge de nourriture et s'envole aussitôt pour se mettre à l'abri. La disparition soudaine d'une boule de graisse est souvent à mettre sur le compte d'un geai des chênes. Le geai des chênes vient aux aires de nourrissage lors des années où les glands se raréfient et il recherche alors de nouvelles sources de nourriture.
Le geai des chênes est aussi un prédateur de nid, n'hésitant pas à s'attaquer aux nids des passereaux plus petits (merles, grives) à la recherche d'œufs et d'oisillons.

Although discreet and timid, it is sometimes outside nesting periods, in gardens where large trees are found in the countryside and in the suburbs. This very suspicious bird visits the feeders early in the morning before human activity begins, if they are located near the wooded areas and if it is safe from danger. Its appearance makes other birds flee. He learned to shake the peanut dispensers to dislodge the nuts. The jay then filled his throat with food and flew away immediately to shelter. The sudden disappearance of a ball of fat is often to blame for a jay oaks. The Eurasian Jay comes to the feeding grounds in years when acorns are becoming scarce and is looking for new sources of food.
The Eurasian jay is also a nest predator, not hesitating to attack the nests of smaller passerines (blackbirds, thrushes) in search of eggs and chicks.

Une chanson pour la Terre (ré-édition)
« C’est mal connaître la poésie que de la taxer) d’inutile. La poésie, par excellence, sert à localiser la Terre. » Harry SZPILMANN
-------------------------
Ils ont convoqué de grands Sommets de toutes les nations.
Beaucoup vinrent et repartirent.
Ils ont convoqué de grands rassemblements planétaires des gardiens de la Science et de la Raison. Beaucoup vinrent et repartirent.
Mais, dites-moi, à quel langage devrions-nous avoir recours pour reconnecter l’âme humaine aux vibrations de la Terre?
Et si on faisait appel… à ceux qui connaissent bien le langage universel de l’âme et des émotions… les peintres, les photographes, les sculpteurs, les poètes, les écrivains, et ceux qui s’émerveillent devant les bourgeons hésitants, devant les cris des oiselets affamés, devant la chanson têtue des vagues…
Peut-être réussiraient-ils à nous faire réapprendre ce langage indicible qui nous lie à la Terre? À renouveler l’émerveillement et le sens du respect et de l’attention qu’elle devrait inspirer? À nous faire comprendre que nos destinées sont irrémédiablement liées?
Ce serait un grand Sommet.
Une Chanson pour la Terre
Beaucoup viendraient et resteraient
Liés à cette Terre, avec émotion et respect.

A song for the Earth (re-edition)
"It is not knowing poetry well to accuse it of being useless. Poetry, par excellence, is used to locate the Earth". Harry SZPILMANN
----------------------------
They have called great Summits of all nations.
Many came and went.
They have called great planetary gatherings of the Guardians of Science and Reason. Many came and went.
But, tell me, what language should we use to reconnect the human soul to the vibrations of the Earth?
And if we appealed to… those who know well the universal language of the soul and the emotions… the painters, the photographers, the sculptors, the poets, the writers, and those who marvel at the hesitant buds, at the cries of hungry birdies, in front of the stubborn song of the waves …
Perhaps they would succeed in making us relearn this unspeakable language which binds us to the Earth? To renew the wonder and sense of respect and care that it should inspire? To make us understand that our destinies are irremediably linked?
It would be a great Summit.
A Song for the Earth
Many would come and stay
Linked to this Earth, with emotion and respect.

Some days we feel somewhere in between, neither here nor there. Wanting to leave familiar grounds, but hesitant of what lies ahead. All storms eventually pass and in time we find the courage we need to move on.

En hommage à mon amie Irina Dimulescu pour son aide et ses encouragements
LA LUMIÈRE DE POËSIA
L’homme, dans son petit bateau, glissait sur l’eau dans le plus grand silence
Comme s’il écoutait les pulsations des origines de ce monde
Ce monde qu’il portait en lui profondément
C’était un jour sans pluie
Une aube de toutes les harmonies
Ce monde était le sien
Son monde imaginaire
Sous un ciel hésitant entre ombre et lumière
Entre le chaud et le froid
Il comprit que chaque personne pouvait entendre
les pulsations de son propre monde imaginaire
Des mondes aux couleurs différentes du sien
Mais partageant tous une même origine…
Et une même destinée
En ce matin des magiciens, lui et tous les autres choisirent de se diriger vers le soleil levant
Vers la lumière essentielle de tous ces mondes
Vers une aube de toutes les harmonies
Patrice photographiste, Chroniques de Poësia

A tribute to my friend Irina Dimulescu for her help and encouragement
THE LIGHT OF POËSIA
The man, in his little boat, slid on the water in the greatest silence
As if he listened to the pulsations of the origins of this world
This world he carried in him deeply
It was a rainless day
A dawn of all harmonies
This world was his
His imaginary world
Under a hesitant sky between shadow and light
Between warm and cold light
He understood that each person could hear
the pulsations of his own imaginary world
Worlds with different colors from his
But sharing all the same origin ...
And the same destiny
In this morning of the magicians, he and all the others, chose to go to the rising sun
Towards the essential light of all these worlds
Towards a dawn of all harmonies

this must have been a fairly young Black backed Jackal, he took a long time to pluck up the courage to move towards the waterhole and when anything made a sudden movement he jumped away....eventually he managed to get a good long drink before he moved off into the Kgalagadi heat

Was not to much out there yesterday folks, but this very colorful guy shows up and want his picture taken, so I did but told him that he had no feathers or wings so in the future I would be hesitant to do so in the future, although he was very
cooperative, as you can see.
Thank you all so very much for everything, and again have a great weekend, be well and be safe.

(En hommage à mes frères Bertrand et Gaston, marins par passion)
En dansant avec la Lune
C’était une journée tranquille
Sur une mer agitée
Au goût d’embruns salés
Dans un moment d’équilibre crépusculaire
Que se disputait une lumière du jour qui s’attardait
Et une nuit qui hésitait
Une seule angoisse me tenaillait:
Que ce moment de grâce s’évanouisse,
Sans que celle que j’attendais, froide et lumineuse,
Puisse enfin projeter mon ombre sur la mer
Et que nous puissions enfin, tous les trois,
Danser toute la nuit sur cette mer agitée,
Au son du claquement des cordages et des voiles qui nous emporteraient
Nous sommes de vieux amis fidèles, ma Lune ténébreuse et moi,
Des amis qui connaissent bien le rythme cosmique
Du temps qui passe.
Pure folie, me direz-vous? Non…
Ne regrettons pas nos rêves.
Ils représentent le vent qui souffle dans les voiles de notre liberté.
Patrice
—————————-
Dancing with the moon
It was a peaceful day
On a rough sea
With the flavor of salty sprays,
In a moment of twilight balance
Which was fighting over a daylight that lingered
And a hesitant night;
One anguish tortured me:
May this moment of grace vanish,
Without the One I expected, cold and bright,
Could finally cast my shadow over the sea
And that we can finally, all three,
Dance all night on this rough sea,
At the sound of snapping ropes and sails that would take us away.
We are old faithful friends, my gloomy moon and me,
Friends who know well the cosmic rhythm
Of time passing.
Pure madness, will you say to me? No. . .
Do not regret our dreams.
They represent the wind blowing in the sails of our freedom.

Happy Caturday has the theme "Nicknames" and Rena Pendleton's nickname has evolved into Rena Bean.
Do not be fooled by the innocent look - she is in charge. My son said last night that after a lifetime of training dogs so well I've let this little cat get the best of me. Everyone else can pick her up but she flips on her back and waves her claws around when I try.
My fault, too hesitant, too unsure.
He is on his way here for another visit and will give me lessons on helping her be a good girl. She'll be 9 months old tomorrow.

"yet I never knew
nor ever learned...
her name."
-"Il Nome della Rosa" (The Name of The Rose) by Umberto Eco
I've been hesitant to enter a photo contest lately, but I'm submitting this. Because when i visited the cave, my first impression pointed one my favorite book.
A hidden archive of forbidden books and a blind archivist who guards it.
A labyrinthine of books and knowledge.
Hidden truths.
Heretical delight..
Desire and beauty.
Seduction.
And love.
No one knows the name of the rose yet.
I read that book in Japanese, so I couldn't quote the Italian or english. It's not an exact quote, but it's an homage to the place.

We visited in San Diego for my son's 38th birthday. The party had as many little kids roaming around as adults. These two wallflowers were hesitant to share their identities.
For Macro Mondays 'Odd' theme - this was the easy option while doing a lot of cooking yesterday. I'm hesitant to point out that these ingredients ended up in separate dishes.

Butterscotch isn't looking quite as dapper as usual so I was hesitant about posting this. He's shedding a lot right now and I should have brushed him before taking a photo.
We've bought a garden fountain for the cats - solar powered. The Somalis like it, but Bastian is a bit more hesitant. He is very careful about new stuff... ;)

Partly concealed behind seagrass and glasswort, this breeding male was very territorial, not hesitating to chase any other bird that tried to approach.
Have a great weekend everyone!

A polar bear and her two cubs go down by the frozen Hudson Bay. You can see the second cub between the mother's legs. This mama bear was hesitant to go out onto the ice for some reason. Maybe because of large males who could be a threat to her cubs.
Juvenile White Ibis
Ocean City, NJ
They were fledging and it flew to the top and it was very hesitant to fly again.
This was an unintentional close encounter earlier this year and I was hesitant to upload this photo for the longest time. It was a case of observing an animal from safe distance, in a vehicle and then the bear walking quickly in my direction and past me on the shoulder of a road. I didn't want to start the engine and startle the grizzly and I just held my breath and sat there silently as he walked on by.
I'm totally opposed to any actions taken by people designed to attract wildlife or affect their natural behavior. The most obvious example is baiting, which is actually done in some wildlife tourist retreats.
Excerpt from a photographers blog on his trip to one such retreat in Finland: 'the large communal hide was directly in front of a clearing where food was left to attract the bears'. This would be illegal in British Columbia but apparently is perfectly legal and considered ethical in other countries and by photographers, many of whom upload photos here on flickr.
"Loss" - Exhibition at Berg
maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Nordan%20om%20Jorden/155/2...
A beautiful tribute by Mr.Senna.
It contains many stories.
We will not find her name anywhere in this exhibition.
Because we are still hesitant to call that name, perhaps.
When we knew that the radiance of life is not eternal, we finally realize that big things have been lost.
That's why we have to learn.
The preciousness of limited life.
That every life is beautiful and irreplaceable.
In this exhibition, we will see gentleness and deep love spreading beyond sorrow.
Sadness will chew helplessness and lead to deep despair.
But that pain and prayer create new light from the dark.
We are stars that connect the radiance of life.
We will follow her.
The glow of life that we got from her.
We have to inherit that glow by each way.
…sorry my poor english…
This is a teapot by artist Jiri Duchek and the crackling glaze is referred to as 'stingray skin glaze', although it is different from kairagi glaze, which, to my current information, ist the 'real' stingray skin glaze and crackles in a way so that the original clay underneath breaks through. This is not the case here, and also this particular teapot is somewhat hesitant to crackle, as I have seen other examples also made by Jiri that are much more prone to crackle. The tea that was brewed was a puerh from Jingmai mountain in Yunnan.
I have not taken an image of a bird or animal in at least six months. When I heard about this local Mandarin duck my interest was peaked but candidly I was quite hesitant to photograph it. Obviously not a wild bird and everyone with an iphone from hear to Sunday has photographed it. Today I had sometime this afternoon and decided what the heck, I'll go find it and take some shots. Well, I found the people first which led to the duck. It is clearly now habituated as unfortunately it is being fed bread and likely other not so suitable stuff from the human hand. Interestingly, it is near impossible to get at eye level unless you want to put waders on and go into the creek (I actually thought about doing that as I have waders in my trunk). Any who, I did manage to get fairly close to eye level on this shot. The image is also fairly well processed in LR and PS, but I like the end result. The Philadelphia celebrity duck!
Thanks for stopping by~!
