Interruption
We interrupt the work of the gods,
hasty and inexperienced beings of the moment.
In the palaces of Eleusis and Phthia
Demeter and Thetis start good works
amid high flames and dense smoke. But
always Metaneira rushes from the king's
chambers, disheveled and scared,
and always Peleus is fearful and interferes.
Constantine P. Cavafy (1901)
dahlia, (genus Dahlia), genus of about 40 species of flowering plants in the aster family (Asteraceae), native to the higher elevations of Mexico and Central America. About six of the species in the Dahlia genus have been bred for cultivation as ornamental flowers and are popular in the floral industry and in gardens. The thousands of dahlia cultivars are classed into a variety of types, including single, double, pompon, cactus, waterlily, peony-flowered, and dinnerplate dahlias.
Dahlias are tuberous perennials, and most have simple leaves that are segmented and toothed or cut. The compound flowers may be white, yellow, red, or purple in colour. Wild species of dahlias have both disk and ray flowers in the flowering heads, but many varieties of ornamentals such as the common garden dahlia (D. bipinnata) have shortened ray flowers. Dahlias grow well in most garden soils. They begin flowering late in the summer and continue flowering until interrupted by frost in the autumn.
You may perceive interruptions on your way, but if you stay on track, the path will lead you smoothly through life.
Snugs was eventually disturbed from her reverie about self awareness (see previously posted picture). But she certainly has a glow about her. ☺️
Between the two districts of Imperia, Oneglia and Porto Marizio, there is a beautiful palace, all in white (hardly marble), which is now used by Telecom. As I let my gaze wander over the chapter of the building, a lone seagull looked down as if it were the master of the house. Of course, this gave a minimalist shot.
An object interrupting my daily routine and rationality. Irritating within the logic of getting on with my life. The figurine has been around for over twenty years (the grandchildren played with it as you can see) and is sitting on top of the kitchen cabinet and watching us, watching over us? I don't know. There is and never was an explanation. It is just there. And I will put it back there. The object belongs there. Interruption is part of life.
Lives interrupted, paused, asleep, sometimes in a dream, sometimes in a nightmare.Prague, war, soon starvation. A trilogy that repeats itself cyclically over the centuries. Sustained breath.... pause.

A common hoopoe was feeding on the ground, when he got interrupted by something and stood still like this the entire time I was lying nearby. I was hoping of some kind of mild action shots, but had to be content with this portrait.
Cleo's Flickr friends already know that she hibernates in the basement, it's a habit she assumed years ago, probably because it's quiet and peaceful there and no other cats bother her. The camera doesn't bother her there either because it's too dark for photos. She rarely breaks this habit but today was apparently one of these days as she moved into a wicker basket cat cave in my bedroom instead. Cleo wasn't pleased when I found her and even less when I pointed the camera at her but you never know when you'll get another chance. I blamed her Flickr friends who want to see a photo of her occasionally. :)
A short interruption of my ice-series, because it also Carnival this weekend. And for those who celebrate it, I folded these a pair of twin witch-ladies, a day and a night version ;-))

I'm going through and re-watching all of Jim Jarmusch's films and re-watched The Limits of Control on Friday night, which has a great deal of exchanged matchboxes and meandering conversations starting with this line. It's not clear if the protagonist played by Isaach De Bankolé actually doesn't understand Spanish or how much English he understands (In Jarmusch's Ghost Dog, he plays an ice cream truck seller who only speaks French) but there's an interesting sense of people entering in and out of the main character's life while he has his two espressos in two separate cups. The film was actually set in Madrid but there was something about the way this car was creeping by and the people inside me that reminded me of the way people can drift slowly by and if you didn't have your camera on you, maybe you wouldn't really remember certain faces or moods they put you in 4+ years later, especially if you've gone through a lot of different experiences since then. But, both still photographs and philosophical films capture glimpses of selves at different points of time, brief interruptions where we aren't just going through all the motions to keep human and stay alive.

Punktierte Zartschrecke - speckled bush cricket (Leptophyes
Today's motif, this small speckled bush cricket, brought itself into the center of my attention yesterday.
While I was sitting at the coffee table with my family, we suddenly discovered this approx. 1.5 cm long animal in a bouquet of flowers in the middle of the table in the phlox blossom.
Of course, the meal had to be interrupted first so that I could hold a small photo session. The little grasshopper was also very patient with me (I had to rebuild my camera first) and cooperated well.
Then my daughter brought it outside to the garden.
Das Motiv des heutigen Tages, diese kleine Punktierte Zartschrecke, hat sich gestern selbst ins Zentrum meiner Aufmerksamkeit gebracht.
Während ich mit meiner Familie am Kaffeetisch saß, entdeckten wir plötzlich dieses ca. 1,5 cm lange Tier in einem Blumenstrauß mitten auf dem Tisch in der Phlox Blüte.
Selbstverständlich musste die Mahlzeit erst einmal unterbrochen werden, damit ich eine kleine Foto Session abhalten konnte. Die kleine Heuschrecke war auch sehr geduldig mit mir (ich musste ja erst meine Kamera umbauen) und hat gut mitgearbeitet.
Danach hat sie dann meine Tochter nach draußen in den Garten gebracht.

.... with sky reflections and shadows.
I was walking by a canal feeder. Blades of grass were drooping from the bank and, in places, just touching the surface of the water, interupting the flow, as here. The sky was reflected in the water and the grass was casting a squiggly shadow and it's colour was also being reflected. It looked as though the grass was writing on the water.

Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them! Thanks again!!

This fern gets its name from the distinct interruptions of the fertile leaflets on the frond which when after releasing their spores fall off leaving gaps on the frond.
Glad to be back from a 3 week phototrip to Cuba, which was rudely interrupted by the Covid-19 crisis. Many thanks to the Austrian government and the airline „Austrian“ for the realisation of repatriation flights !

if, after reading my intro, you'd like to see how Flo is getting on, her new adopted family have opened up a stream here for Rob and I to enjoy: [https://www.flickr.com/photos/192292535@N03]
I was planning to share something else a bit more obscure now, but I just heard from her new family how she's doing.. and it's great and made me cry.
Bess is now Flow. Her new name.
Pete and Lilly, and half an hour later their full-of-beans-n-good-natured German Shepherd Kumar, and (Kelpi?) Perro, all met up with Bess a few days ago.
Ever since her first lead training day, my ignorant prejudices of Bess vaporised. She has fantastic eye contact, if you know how to get it. You know, if you get on her wavelength she'll follow you to the ends of the earth. Look into her eyes...
[ i have in my mind the memory of her in the front of their van being gently cuddled and subtly entertained by Lilly, lit in the dark by the downlight of their courtesy light, as they all reversed out of Rob's drive to their new life ]
Long story cut short for now, she or we could not have hoped for a better life for her than with her new family.
Rob knew it, as did I, when we met Pete, Lllly and their dogs.
Happy :-)
