Just a bit of fun and a way to pass my time recovering from this bug. This was taken while exploring the Italian countryside and a drive down a dirt track we spotted a small forest of clean poplar trees.

Me gustaría terminar el año con un mensaje acerca del miedo. Hace tiempo puse una foto de este monstruo del miedo que hizo mi sobrino hace unos años en el cole, y cuando fui a recogerlo me lo regaló.
El miedo en ciertas personas hace que el resto sean sumisos ante otras, por ejemplo el miedo a perder el trabajo, tragas con lo que sea, el miedo a perder a la pareja, tragas y cedes con lo que sea, el miedo a que un familiar o un amigo se enfade y entonces, callas, cedes y tragas fastidiándote tu y lo peor es que a veces se fastidia a otras personas, daños colaterales, y como estos ejemplos muchísimos mas, en todos los ámbitos de la vida, política etc.
Y así es como, a través del miedo, la gente que tiene maldad se aprovecha de la gente que tiene "bondad" o que les falta coraje para luchar. Y como interpreto yo esto? Pues así; Creo que cuando dejas que el miedo se apodere de ti por no luchar por ti mism@, por los tuy@s y por los derechos en general, eso no te hace ser mejor persona, eso te iguala a la persona que tiene maldad y esa persona siempre termina ganando porque gente como tu, buena persona, o cobarde dejas que logren lo que quieren y obren como los hijos de.. la maldad y la cara dura que son jajajjaa.
Así que espabilemos y ...
Provocar Pánico al Miedo para quitarlo de encima!
Igual no parece un mensaje muy positivo pero mi intención es que lo sea. Lo que necesita este mundo es mas amor, mas comprensión, mas tolerancia y que no siempre gane la envidia, la avaricia, el abuso de poder, el sometimiento, el racismo, la desigualdad , la falta de libertad, es decir el mal en general.
Y este es mi mensaje del casi fin de año 2024.
Como veis en la imagen el miedo se esconde, igual empieza a tener "miedo...."
Feliz salida de año flicker@s!

Same place as previous upload, moved a few steps ahead and changed my 105mm for a 50mm ;-)
This image is constructed from a macro picture of an out of focus glove that has a metal material woven into the fabric. The metal created some spectral highlights. For this version, the bokeh is smaller and sharper.

Mount Rainier is the highest mountain of the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest, and the highest mountain in the state of Washington. It is a large active stratovolcano located 54 miles (87 km) southeast of Seattle. It is the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States and the Cascade Volcanic Arc, with a summit elevation of 14,411 ft (4,392 m). Mt. Rainier is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, and it is on the Decade Volcano list. Because of its large amount of glacial ice, Mt. Rainier could potentially produce massive lahars that could threaten the entire Puyallup River valley.
Mount Rainier was first known by the Native Americans as Talol, or Tacoma or Tahoma, from the Lushootseed word [təqʷúʔbəʔ] ("mother of waters") spoken by the Puyallup. Another interpretation is that "Tacoma" means "larger than Mount Baker". This comes from the Skagit "Ta", larger, plus "Koma (Kulshan)", Mount Baker. Other names originally used include Tahoma, Tacobeh, and Pooskaus. The current name was given by George Vancouver, who named it in honor of his friend, Rear Admiral Peter Rainier. The map of the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804-1806 refers to it as "Mt. Regniere".
Although "Rainier" had been considered the official name of the mountain, Theodore Winthrop, in his posthumously published 1862 travel book The Canoe and the Saddle, referred to the mountain as "Tacoma" and for a time, both names were used interchangeably, although "Mt. Tacoma" was preferred in the city of Tacoma.
In 1890, the United States Board on Geographic Names declared that the mountain would be known as "Rainier". Following this in 1897, the Pacific Forest Reserve became the Mount Rainier Forest Reserve, and the national park was established three years later. Despite this, there was still a movement to change the mountain's name to "Tacoma" and Congress was still considering a resolution to change the name as late as 1924.
In the excitement leading up to Super Bowl XLVIII, John Hickenlooper, Governor of Colorado, named 53 mountains after the 53 members of the Denver Broncos. In response, the Washington State Senate passed a resolution on Friday, January 31, 2014, temporarily renaming the mountain Mount Seattle Seahawks. The resolution expired on midnight Monday, February 3, 2014.
I noticed this Carolina praying mantis on a dark Autumn joy sedum flower stalk. It was holding court and waiting for some passersby. I can get behind a predator that eats mosquitoes.
