Hobson's choice today as this is the only photo I managed to get. I had intended to try to set something up when I got home but Spider-Man came to play...or it may have been my grandson but difficult to tell.
So, I'd snapped this going through a tunnel (totally wrong settings) and decided to try to make it a little more interesting by adding some movement.
"In my dream,
drilling into the marrow
of my entire bone,
my real dream,
I'm walking up and down Beacon Hill
searching for a street sign --
namely MERCY STREET.
Not there. "
---excerpt from Anne Sexton's "45 Mercy Street"
In the north, we have had so much rain in the last few months that the fields are under water. And yet the groundwater level is still not supposed to be high enough.
Im Norden haben wir die letzten Monate so viel Regen gehabt, dass die Felder unter Wasser stehen. Und trotzdem soll der Grundwasserspiegel immer noch nicht hoch genug sein.
Happy New Year! There was a lot happening in the sky the New year's night. To the left is a ribbon of "Sky Glow" Then of course the milky way right next to it. City Lights are at the base of the milky way. The northern lights are hanging out to the right of the mountain.
In the deeper recesses of Canyonlands, we traveled the bottoms along the Green River. It snakes a corridor of buttes and mesas, sometimes opening up into the flood plains of the side canyons, most of whose interiors are even deeper recesses. But it was up one of those arterioles that we navigated, across rough badlands on a dirt track crisscrossing its wash, another five miles deeper, to the end. We set up camp, in an amphitheater of red rock cliffs, talus slopes, and Wingate monoliths. In the silent witness of desert and sky, even our words were spare. They say there are vortexes, like Sedona, where psychic forces swirl. I have found myself in places that hold a magic of their own, independent of us, where the power of the land just exists in the arrangement of features that somehow sync with our sense of universal order. Perhaps we can’t help trying to humanize that. This was such a place. It is always surprising, this far from civilization and the absence of artificial light, how swiftly the dark descends...twilight seems just a word in passing. I stayed up awhile, fighting off the sleep that long days of exploring bring, waiting for a full moon that would rise behind me. But sometimes these places don’t wait for you, moving on of their own accord. After a time of darkness, moonlight was greeted by the songs of coyotes, and washed down the walls of the circle, spreading across the desert floor. Horizons pushed closer, tendrils of cloud blown ahead in vanguard, pushed by currents I could not feel. We turned under the universe above, all of it powered by forces I cannot explain, that people have prayed to from time immemorial. I awoke in the morning, a new energy pushing the night away, as if I was still in a dream.

But everything is different
‘cause we are in the thick of things.
It’s all about us
and it’s no longer like before,
and that makes us brothers
with the day on the sea.

In full view of the camera the Turkey Vulture which I was photographing turned ever so slightly to show off it's magnificent wingspan and warm itself from the heating vent.

Mauve coloured azaleas lurking in the jungle-like garden here at Cherrybrook, in northern Sydney.
It is late summer in Sydney town and azaleas are not meant to be 'spot flowering' until Autumn or Winter - with the main 'Superbowl' of azalea flowering not scheduled until Spring time.
But no one told these azaleas, and this rogue azalea plant, located beneath a canopy of tall camellias and glossy-leafed, white flowering, magnolias, has mysteriously gone berserk with colour.
Photographed today, Wednesday, 10th February, 2021.
And now some 'Smooth Jazz' to accompany the mauve azaleas. Clearly these azaleas are acting in a very strange and cheeky manner. So here is the legendary band 'Pieces Of A Dream' with their No. 1 'Smooth Jazz' hit:
'Just Funkin' Around'.

a male klipspringer ( O.oreotragus ) under an humid drizzle.
these little antelopes live just in rocky areas and they are incredibly agile and always alert.
their enemies are mainly leopards and big eagles,the only predators able to ambush or attack klipspringers in their three-dimensional environment.Unlike most other antelopes, the klipspringer has a thick and coarse coat with hollow, brittle hairs.the coat is a significant adaptation that saves the animal during steep falls.
