Finally caught a hummer in the garden.

in our yard

Kent County, Michigan

 

Yesterday, we saw a pair of cedar waxwings eating the wild cherries from our trees. We've lived here for 36 years and never seen them in the yard. And, today we find out that we have a family.

 

The cherry trees along the pond are in full blossom.

By the sacred grove, where the waters flow

We will come and go, in the forest

 

In the summer rain, we will meet again

We will learn the code of the ancient ones

In the forest

 

By the waterfall, I will hold you in my arms

We will meet again by the leafy glade

In the shade of the forest

 

With your long robes on, we will surely roam

By the ancient roads, I will take you home

To the forest

 

In the forest, in the forest

In the forest, in the forest

 

With your long robes on, we will surely roam

By the ancient roads, I will take you home again

To the forest

 

Satisfy the soul baby

Birds sing all day long of the mother lode

We can let it roll, in the forest

 

With your long robes on

I know where you're coming from

By the big oak tree you've gotta come and go with me

 

In the forest, in the forest

In the forest, in the forest

 

By the waterfall

I will hold you in my arms, and we will meet again

By the leafy shade, in the, in the forest

 

Satisfy the soul

Birds sing all day long of the mother lode

We can surely let it roll, in the forest

 

With your long robes on

I know where you're coming from

We will surely roam, down by the ancient roads ,by Van Morrison

there are 4 waterfall drops along the width of the Dead River in Marquette which are simply called Dead Pool Falls. This is one of the more pretty of the four,

After the heavy rain yesterday the brook was flowing quite heavily. Arrowe Park looking great in early Autumn!

In the small town of Wülfrath in the heart of the Bergisches Land region, there is an unusual attraction: artificial sheep. However, these sheep are not the usual animals you see in the fields. They are made of fiberglass and were designed by local artists.

 

The idea came about in 2007 as part of the "Art and Sheep" art project. The organizers wanted to bring art into public spaces, using the theme of sheep as a symbol of the region and its rural environment.

 

Twelve artists from Wülfrath and the surrounding area were each asked to design an empty sheep according to their own ideas. The results were so impressive that the sheep quickly became the town's trademark.

 

Each sheep has its own character and its own story. For example, there is the sheep "Flocke", which looks like a fairy tale character with its woolly fur and golden horns. Or the sheep "Rudi", which was decorated with graffiti elements by an artist and is now emblazoned on the wall of a parking garage.

 

There are now over 30 artistic sheep in Wülfrath, which can be seen in various places around the city. Some stand in front of stores or restaurants, others in parks or public squares.

 

The sheep not only have an aesthetic function, but also contribute to the city's identity and sense of community. They have become a popular photo motif and provide but not only a tourist highlight. They also have a social function. Some sheep were designed by young people, who thus had the opportunity to live out their creativity and identify with their hometown.

All in all, the art project "Art and Sheep" is an example of how art in public spaces can strengthen the identity of a city and promote a sense of community. The art sheep have made Wülfrath a distinctive place and bear witness to the creativity and wealth of ideas of the people in the region.

In september 2021 kwamen na een paar maanden de SGMm treinstellen weer terug op de sprinterserie 7000 Apeldoorn - Almelo (- Enschede). Ook al had ik al redelijk veel SGMm stellen op mijn thuishonk op de foto was ik toch blij dat ze weer terug waren. In de laatste dagen van september kwam er plotseling een SGMm 4 set in de 7000, en laat het net de enige combinatie zijn die ik nog op de foto moest hebben in de 7000 :-) Samen met een andere vriend zijn we naar Teuge gegaan om deze fraaie combinatie op de foto te zetten. Ik had deze combi al twee keer in de avond geplaat, alleen had ik totaal over het hoofd gezien dat de voorste bak onder de graffiti zat… Gelukkig viel het nog redelijk weg te halen met photoshop:-) Onder een fraaie wolkendok passeren de 2136 en 2138 als sprinter naar Apeldoorn Teuge. Een paar dagen later was deze combinatie van twee SGMm 2 stellen verleden tijd, vanwege het ontbreken van magneetremmen.

Most of you know by now how I love 'playing' with light, a never ending beautiful challenge, food for my creative soul, which I so desperately need at the moment...

Each flower or object, most definitely people, seem to have a different 'personality' which I'm trying to capture.

 

Alstroemeria, the genus named after the Swedish baron Alströmer who brought them back from a trip to South America in 1753.

Also called the Peruvian Lily or Inca Lily, is a South American genus of about 50 species of flowering plants.

The flower, which resembles a miniature lily, is very popular for bouquets and flower arrangements in the commercial cut flower trade.

They have a vase life of about two weeks.

 

With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

In a little town. Hälsingland Sweden

My zoom lense was very busy as I watched this New Holland honeyeater fly around the Callistemon bush and drink from the flowers. Many shots were taken but few made the cut, such as this one.

Lesmont, Aube, Champagne, France.

St. Joseph's, Devine Street, Columbia, SC

 

Most of the shots I posted this weekend looked skyward, or at least featured the sky. It's been so beautiful with fluffy clouds and October blue. But I also shot a few toward the ground. These tiny tiny things were scattered among black-eyed susans and echinacea that skirted St. Joseph's on Devine Street.

A white Christmas would be wonderful, of course. But we've only had one (across the board) six times in the last 120 years. So there's no point in getting upset about it.

If there's no snow, then at least some sunshine would be nice. Unfortunately, it's been gray and foggy for days (at least here where I am). So, sunshine is probably out of the question.

Luckily, there's still the sunshine in my heart, which I hope to tap into with this photo and activate when needed.

Happiness, and the feeling of happiness, isn't dependent on chance or external circumstances. It's a conscious decision that strongly depends on how I evaluate a situation, where I direct my attention, and, of course, on my general outlook on life.

With that in mind, on this penultimate Monday flower greeting of the year, I wish you a large dose of sunshine in your heart and thus a sunny and joyful week.

And this is regardless of the weather.

 

Eine weiße Weihnacht wäre natürlich richtig toll. Doch hatten wir diese (flächendeckend) gerade einmal 6 Mal in den letzten 120 Jahren. Es lohnt sich also nicht, sich darüber zu ärgern.

Wenn schon kein Schnee da ist, dann wäre doch wenigstens Sonnenschein schön. Leider sieht es (zumindest hier bei mir) seit Tagen grau und neblig aus. Das mit der Sonne wird dann wohl auch eher schwierig.

Zum Glück gibt es noch die Sonne im Herzen, die ich mit diesem Foto ansprechen und bei Bedarf aktivieren möchte.

Glück und auch das Glücksgefühl ist nicht von Zufällen und Rahmenbedingungen abhängig. Es ist eine bewusste Entscheidung die stark davon abhängt, wie ich eine Situation bewerte, wo ich meine Aufmerksamkeit hin lenke und natürlich wie meine generelle Einstellung zum Leben aussieht.

In diesem Sinne wünsche ich Euch am vorletzten montäglichen Blumengruß das Jahres eine große Portion Sonne im Herzen und damit eine sonnige und fröhliche Woche.

Und dies unabhängig von meteorologischen Rahmenbedingungen.

After a cold long walk, this morning, it was nice to return home, make a warm mug of coffee and have a seat at the kitchen island!

En mi barrio, In my neighborhood

This is one of the jellyfish in B&W.

 

I went to the "Audubon Aquarium of Americas" in New Orleans

several days ago and spent the afternoon 'trying' to photograph

some of the exhibits. I found it quite challenging as I had

never photographed an aquarium and because of: lighting,

moving animals, reflections on the glass, people constantly

moving around and many other factors but it was an interesting

time and hopefully I got some reasonably fair images. I will

post a few more in the future. :-)

A cormorant in flight at the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding center in Port Aransas, Texas. I'm pretty sure it is a Neotropic Cormorant - there is a flock of those that live in the area, but it is too high to get a good look at the head.
