“If people did not love one another, I really don't see what use there would be in having any spring.”

― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

 

Enchantment , Lemon Beach (10, 194, 22) - General

if a location isn't speaking to me, it helps to concentrate on the small things.

 

You know, "it's all in the details" and that stuff. You've heard it before and sometimes it's true.

If you look closely, you will see the water droplets in the air as the Great Blue Heron lifts off from the spring waters of the Homosassa River.

... L'If commun ou ( l'If à baie ) est une espèce de conifères non résineux de la famille des Taxaceae. Très longitif, poussant lentement...il fait partie des plantes toxiques. L'If commun peut atteindre 25 m de haut, mais la plupart des individus sont plus petits ou en buissons. Sa forme varie selon la place et la lumière dont il dispose. Il se prête très bien à l'art topiaire grâce à se grande facilité de bourgeonnement permettant de constituer toutes sortes de formes : boules, cônes, formes animaliers. Les forêts d'Ifs auraient été décimées pour fabriquer des arcs par exemple chez les Grecs, chez les Gaulois et dans toute l'Europe médiévale et en particulier lors des guerres franco-anglaises ( notamment la guerre de Cent An ) Le bois d'If (dur et homogène) a été utilisé en ébénisterie et marqueterie. Son bois d'une belle teinte orangé- rougeâtre, est très prisé des ébéniste et luthiers . Ses qualité acoustiques sont en effet exceptionnelles et son prix est très élevé. Les fleurs des pieds femelles sont verdâtres et forment des fruits charnus rouge vif: les arilles qui jadis étaient consommés en confiture. Seule la chair du fruit n'est pas toxique. Sucrés, les fruits sont consommés par les oiseaux qui en rejetant la graine dans leur excrément , ce qui contribue à la reproduction de l'espèce . La graine toxique n'est pas digérée par ces animaux mais mortelle pour les mammifères qui la mâcheraient.

If you want to make friends with an Icelandic ..... never call an Icelandic horse a pony .... there isn't even that word in Icelandic.

Icelandic horses look extremely charming and, compared to other horses, rather childishly, in fact they are realy strong, they can survive the harshest winters, the biggest hurricanes and the craziest snowstorms without any effort. In addition, they are so incredibly friendly and gentle that it is impossible not to adore them.

THANK YOU ALL MY KIND FLICKR FRIENDS,

Pixnote:

Light is coming from the sun piercing through underwood forest. Leaves are from a beech tree and the blue from the sky.

If you can fly, then you can perhaps afford to be a little nonchalant. This young chap sat atop his perch like this for about ten minutes, confidently ignoring the incessant waves that continually threatened to dethrone him.

 

Eventually the inevitable happened and he calmly extended his wings and floated gently upwards about a second before the raging waves overcame the rock.

 

That’s what having wings will do for you.

 

I did get a shot of his escape, but it was rubbish.

“If he slept, he dreamt of the woman with the icy white irises. She exploded planes, swallowed oceans and crumpled skies

in her palm in his dreams. Sometimes she and the green-eyed girl were one. At other times, the green-eyed girl was alone, a gaping hole where her heart should have been. At all times he could hear the woman’s cold, low laughter. It swept across his consciousness like a hailstorm.

When he woke up, he thought he was going mad.”

― Dark Things, by Sukanya Venkatraghavan.

If this garage was in a Jewish neigbourhood 'Ah Wai' would be out of business as 'Oy Vey' is a cry indicating dismay, disappointment or grief. I was also intrigued by the samurai painted on the door for protection.

If seeing the words spider and rattlesnake combined in the same sentence doesn't creep you out, then nothing in nature likely will. Earlier in the summer I photographed another female shamrock orbweaver here at Chipera Prairie. That one had a pale yellow abdomen so these decorative white dots didn't show up at all. It was neat to see this large female with her beautiful brick-red abdomen today since those scattered white spots form a pretty pattern.

If you enlarge, then you can recognize our common friend Paolo Mezzetti (FisherPaolo on Flickr). Although by shoulders...

If I could escape

And recreate a place as my own world

Forever, perfectly together

And tell me, boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

If I was a better man

Would fellow men take me to their hearts

If I was a stronger man

Carrying the weight of a popular demand

Tell me would that alarm her

I'd never harm her at all

 

If I was a soldier

Captive arms I'd lay before her

If I was a sailor

Seven oceans I'd sail to her

 

If I was a wiser man

Would other men reach out and touch me

If I was a kinder man

Dishing up love for a hungry world

Tell me would that appease her

I want to please her again

 

If I was a painter

I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her

If I was a leader

On food of love from above I would feed her

If I Was a poet

All my love and burning words I would show it

If I was her lover

Her eyes in kisses I would cover

 

Come here my baby

Oh they can't touch you now

I'll keep you save and warm

I'll never leave you at all

Come here my baby

Oh they won't touch you

Dishing up love for a hungry world

Tell me would that appease you

I want to please you again
