Looking up the english meaning for "Las tres Marías" I found some interesting
information...
Las estrellas Alnitak, Alnilam, y Mintaka, forman el conocido cinturón de Orión, y se conocen también como las tres Marías.
Alnilam (Epsilon Orionis / ε Ori) (del árabe Al Nizam, "el hilo de perlas"), es una estrella variable pulsante irregular situada en la constelación de Orión.Es la estrella central y más brillante del Cinturón de Orión.
Alnitak (Zeta Orionis / ζ Ori) (del árabe Al Nitaq, "el cinturón"), es un sistema múltiple formado por tres estrellas situado en la constelación de Orión
Mintaka (Delta Orionis / δ Ori) es una estrella doble de la constelación de Orión cuyo nombre deriva de la palabra árabe para cinturón.
En la literatura fantástica de J.R.R. Tolkien, Orión es conocido como Menelgavor o Menélmacar y representa ya sea a Eonwë, heraldo de los dioses, o a Túrin, un héroe trágico en el libro El Silmarillion.
And in English:
ζ Ori (Alnitak), ε Ori (Alnilam) and δ Ori (Mintaka) make up the asterism known as Orion's Belt: three bright stars in a row; from these alone one can recognize Orion.
The ancient Sumerians saw this star pattern as forming part of an image of a shepherd (sometimes in a chariot) with his sheep and in some versions a shepherd's crook, while in ancient China, Orion was one of the 28 zodiac signs Xiu (宿). Known as Shen (參), literally meaning "three", it is believed to be named so for the three stars located in Orion's belt. (See Chinese constellation)
The stars were associated with Osiris, the god of death and underworld, by the ancient Egyptians. The Giza pyramid complex, which consists of the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure, is said to be a sky-map of the Belt of Orion, that is, of Osiris.

Sometimes less light is more light... yesterday was a
stormy and cloudy day. Despite of this with my f/2.8 macro
I managed to capture all the colour glory of this rose...
I was amazed about the intensity of her glow!
Along the vinyard there are discriptions of the different kinds of vines... this is about the red kind.

It is raining today as I am reviewing the photographs I have taken yesterday... the more I am struck by these colors. There is no postcorrecting, no enhacing of colors, only a little cropping. The leaves and the colorful background bokeh looked exactly as you see them on the photograph.

She is placed in the middle of the vinyard of our town... a wonderful meditave place to rest and look over the town.
Passing Breeze
Yes, I know, this is nothing but thy love,
O beloved of my heart---
this golden light that dances upon the leaves,
these idle clouds sailing across the sky,
this passing breeze leaving its coolness upon my forehead.
The morning light has flooded my eyes---
this is thy message to my heart.
Thy face is bent from above,
thy eyes look down on my eyes,
and my heart has touched thy feet.

No real focus in this one........
I still love the most wonderful light in it...
to me it looks like painted with light!

While on a family gathering in Winters, California, my wife and I stopped by Mike's Velo CIty bike shop. To my delight, right there in the main display window was this very nice steel bike of recent construction built up with vintage Campi components. A very pleasant guy working at the shop was kind enough to bring it down for me and set it outside for a couple of pictures. The builder is Kimo Tanaka of Innerlight Cycles (www.innerlightcycles.com) out of nearby Davis. It was a beautiful day for riding and the tiny historic core of the city of Winters was chock-full of cyclists.
