Headlands walk along the Yorkshire Coast
As the farms look so tiny perched atop these powerful cliffs, it made me consider how that we may think our mark on the planet is insignificant, but if we look again more closely we find that is not the case. As a group over 8 billion strong, our actions are destroying this wonderful gift of earth and we are fools if we think this can continue.

La souche de l'arbre
IN EXPLORE - July 20, 2022
Parfois une chose insignifiante inspire la prise de vue. Cette souche d'arbre , en bord de rivière, avec les nuages comme reflets, à tout de suite attiré mon regard.
Sometimes an insignificant thing inspires the shot. This tree stump, along the river, with the clouds as reflections, immediately caught my eye.
Life is a great tapestry. The individual is only an insignificant thread in an immense and miraculous pattern.
Albert Einstein
The little white house on Buttermere seems insignificant against the giant mountain backdrop. The lake with these mountains all around, what an awe inspiring view.
Now, as kings and lions go¹, Leo is quite small; only a few millimetres from end to end but he's a great king and lionheart ...
... not to mention that gorgeous mane, Leo's main feature!
When there's nectar up for grabs², Leo always gets the lion's share and, with a fur coat like his, most of the pollen into the bargain!³
Let's not talk about his roar, eh? (ツ)
★ Food for thought :
The bee is fast becoming an endangered species in many parts of the world. In France, the newly arrived Asian hornet (new tab) is just another nail in the coffin⁴. Without the bee, we too could well become an endangered species! :-(( - Love thy neighbour and thy bee however small and insignificant it may appear to be.
"If the Bee Disappeared Off the Face of the Earth, Man Would Only Have Four Years Left To Live" - Albert Einstein
God slay the Asian queens and save our noble bees!
(ironically, to the tune of "God Save the Queen")
Tools of the trade! (new tab) Shh!!! Mum's the word!
¹ as something (or someone) goes = pour un ... / pour une ...
² up for grabs = à saisir / à prendre / disponible
³ into the bargain = par-dessus le marché / avec / en plus
⁴ another nail in the coffin = un pas de plus vers la tombe
Poetic licence
It has occurred to me that Leo could have been a female dressed up by my title as a male. These days, of course, anything goes does it not? And besides, "Lilly the Dande Lioness Queen" doesn't have the same ring to it nor does it roll off the tongue in quite the same way as my title does. So, Leo it is!

P.S. Sorry about the dandruff but bees will be bees*

* allusion à l'expression anglaise: "boys will be boys" referring to the predictably mischievous behaviour of boys.
The days just seem to pass insignificantly during this pandemic. I have discovered I thrive on being around people, eating out and just being among friends and family. I know....most of us are staying safe and I am very grateful for that. I realize now a bit better though, what's most important in life and that human contact is very much necessary.
when the sky at dusk becomes an abstract canvas so vibrant, with limitless imagination and pure majesty, that all events and cares of this illusory world become insignificant ....
The monster of the forest floor
Will tickle your shins
Will grab your ankles
Will laugh at you when you fall.
Will pull your ribs apart.
The monster of the forest floor has
Sharp jagged tentacles
To feel for all the precarious humans that will
Stumble across it
Not noticing the devastating beauty surrounding them
It doesn’t care about your crowded hospitals
Just like you didn’t care enough about it
when it was first a tree, giving you shelter
All you saw was the forest as a whole
Nothing unique….and nothing to fight for.
So, now, it will have its revenge
*****
There were a lot of people who disappeared in the forest.
We didn’t know how they managed to vanish.
They didn’t answer their cell phone nor their emails
We thought they were living “off the grid"
We thought we needed to respect their privacy.
The monster of the forest floor
knew a different truth
Pulled them under and ate them up
They were just an insignificant part of a vast whole and
They were never seen again.

From life to death, everything has its season and everything has its time, though ever so brief. our time here is but a vapour, a mist that is here today and gone tomorrow. At times life seems so futile and insignificant. yet there is one to whom your life is more precocious than gold.
Take time to remember we are all significant and valuable in his eyes.

Looking out to sea is one of things that reminds me how small we are.
Taken on Weybourne beach, Norfolk, England.
Maybe that's why politicians don't seem to be in touch with the rest of us they spend too much time flying.
Taken on flight from Prague to Belgrade.
At Ynys there have been some new benches added to the
viewing points for the best stunning views and photographs that can be taken in this area.
A short walk exploring the tidal island at the edge of Snowdonia
Overlooked by the Moelwyn Mountains that stand just in front of Snowdon, and the Rhinogs to the south east, the small island of Ynys Gifftan is a distinctive and unique feature of the Dwyryd Estuary.
Look across the estuary at high tide and Ynys may seem insignificant, unworthy of exploration and impossible to visit without a boat. But visitors prepared to roll their trousers up can be rewarded with an adventure unlike any other.
This short walk to the tidal island at the foot of Snowdonia is particularly enjoyable in the summer months, when waters have absorbed the heat of the sun.
"There is nothing insignificant in the world. It all depends on the point of view."

A view of the West façade of the Château de Chenonceau from Catherine de Medici's garden. An architectural mixture of late Gothic and early Renaissance, it’s the most visited château in France.

Cuando entres por la puerta de la "Conciencia de Sí" a tu morada interna, verás que este mundo que te presentan los ojos es tan transitorio e insignificante como un lirio marchito en un jardin.
Como una gota de agua en una tormenta. Y sin embargo es el espejo donde te puedes ver.
Cayetano Arroyo Flores
When you enter through the door of the "Self-Consciousness" to your inner dwelling, you will see that this world that your eyes present to you is as transitory and insignificant as a withered lily in a garden.
Like a drop of water in a storm. And yet it is the mirror where you can see yourself.

Muchas gracias a tod@s por vuestros comentarios y favoritos. Un saludo.
The 'silver bullet' is sometime so slow it's painful. Nobody really calls it 'silver bullet', I just made it up. The Toronto subway is not reaching to too many places, but it is adequate, as except for downtown, people still prefer the car. Even the subway northern extension was built back in 2002, the 5 new station are under-used by Torontonians. The time of the train is of course insignificant (the trains leave every few minutes), but it fits well in a title of insignificant photo.

There are times when you feel insignificantly small in the surroundings you find yourself in. It was certainly the case for me here as the sun went down on the coastline of Western Norway.
The golden sunset sky was just a sliver on the horizon, highlighting the mountainous serrated skyline.
Ever since I recently decided to try getting some shots of the Milky Way, I find myself looking forward to the new moon each month during Milky Way season. I plan my vacations and camping trips around the new moon, and enjoy looking for interesting objects that I can use to frame the shots. The night sky has an interesting way of making me feel pretty insignificant, but is very relaxing and is good therapy (for not worrying about small stuff I guess)!
There is nothing insignificant in the world. It all depends on the point of view.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life is a series of steps. Things are done gradually. Once in a while there is a giant step, but most of the time we are taking small, seemingly insignificant steps on the stairway of life.
Ralph Ransom
"All that happens means something; nothing you do is ever insignificant." Aldous Huxley
(London, Tate Modern, April 2014)
In Eisenstadt, the capital of the Austrian federal state of Burgenland. With 301,311 inhabitants, this state is the least populous in Austria, and the small capital has only 15,729 inhabitants. This insignificant town belongs to the commuter area of Vienna, which is about 55 km away.
However, the Social Democratic governor of this tiny state, Hans Peter Doskozil, likes to show off and pretend that his state is of any importance. In this way, he has completely confused the Social Democratic Party of all of Austria.
