afternoon frost, and the glimmer of the sun in the forest.../
Vinternintuition, eftermiddagsfrost och en solglimt i skogen.../Intuición del invierno, escarcha y el sol de la tarde en el bosque...(DSC_8429-3)
I really like the name. The beautiful colors and patterns remind me of Japanese Hokkaido Wagyu :) I used a Canon 50mm f3.5 macro lens for this shot. If using Olympus, it might handle the red color better. Happy weekend my friends 🌹
For me reading has always been both a therapy and a meditation. It allows me to both connect and escape. It gives me clarity and peace. It helps me understand my own fears as I read how others have dealt with theirs. It allows me to open up my heart to my own intuition. I trust my intuition, because it rarely lets me down, but I have to be ready to hear it and listen.
Those of you who are members of Paradox Ivory's group "Dox" may already be aware that her sim "The Alley" is scheduled to close today. It is always sad to see a nice sim go away, but another will be along soon to take its place. Hurry if you want to get in before it is gone.
Have a lovely Sunday, my friends. 🙏❤
Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I found my best friend
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy but I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
There's just no rhyme or reason
Only the sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy but I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

It’s a strange and wondrous world a photographer lives in, searching for truth that is objective and subjective at once…a combination to show what really happened and our own insight. When it comes to capturing a facial expression, you have to gain an intuition about the way a subtle change or a shift in shadow changes our perception of what stage the idea in a mind or a felt emotion was in terms of coming to fruition. We are all complex people but Yoshimi of The Boredoms and OOIOO is perhaps one of the more complicated artists and humans out there. And sometimes, this makes it impossible to choose one photograph instead of two the same way a mind might experience two thoughts at once veering towards the same awareness point. Time passes and that same moment might disappear into a distant vanishing point…this is why we have cameras after all…in order to study the nuances of what makes us humans.
Incidentally, this same kind of conundrum and artistic experience occurred a few other times but most notably when I took a couple of portraits of the Canadian singer, Julie Doiron. I couldn’t decide what I liked best and so I included both:

I also think that we’re all living many lives and sometimes catch glimpses of each other….are we the same human if we’re the sum of all of our experiences and those experiences diverge at a certain point? Maybe not…..but perhaps….perhaps….we can catch a glimpse of ourselves and show some recognition and maybe even a smile.

The way ahead, following your intuition.
The tricky part is that intuition can be confused with your own Ego.
Your Ego overrules your intuition and says to you, in your thoughts, that you must do the fun stuff you want to do. The "fun" stuff can be bullying others, eat too much, not study when you know you have to, crossing all kind of lines etc.
You'll find all kinds of excuses to do what you want to do, but there might be a lower voice which says Stop, and that is your intuition.
Try to find it, start listening to it. It has many interesting ideas and I for one think our lives can walk on quite different paths than we had imagined if we bring forward our intuition.
If you want something changed in you, like the view you have upon yourself or getting a higher self esteem, losing weight etc, you should start talking to your unconscious mind.
How to do that is pretty simple and awkward or strange, at the same time.
You shall repeat small nice sentences many times a day, talk to yourself repeatedly by using positive words. Your unconscious mind will surrender and start think so too, if you only repeat the positive loaded words.
Why not try it.
We all know how good we are to look in the mirror and say Sh.. how awful I look today. Turn your attitude and say Wow I look fabulous today.
It sure has a nice ring to it, hasn't it, and it works too.
Gee, it became a long blah blah this time♥
Spiritual wisdom, intuition, freedom, strength, warning, treachery -

All is not as it seems . . .
Wolf
The signification of a wolf, is one who seizes and scatters; and as in the Word beasts signify cupidities, a wolf signifies the avidity of seizing, as is also evident from the passages in the Word where a wolf is mentioned; as in Matthew:--
Beware ye of false prophets, who come unto you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves (Matthew 7:15).
And in John:--
He that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf seizeth them, and scattereth the sheep (John 10:12).
Likewise in other places (Luke 10:3; Jer. 5:6; Ezek. 22:27; Zeph. 3:3). Hence it is plain that by a wolf are signified those who seize, but here one who rescues from hell those who have been seized. The signification of a wolf is in a similar category to that of a lion, also a rapacious animal, concerning which also it is said that it seizeth the rapine, gathereth spoil, and preyeth upon prey, as is here said of a wolf; and yet in a good sense a lion signifies truth in power from good (AC 6367). It is similar with other rapacious beasts, as leopards, eagles, etc.
Time for humanity to wake up from their slumber and search for Truth - do not be seduced by the satanic that has permeated upon humanity for eons.
Can't ever say I didn't see something coming. Nor can I deny walking right into it most of the time. Sometimes though.. it's not just being aware. It's ignoring all of the signs for what you thought was worth everything unfolding. Those moments? Might as well just throw the cards at fate and just say whatever, I'm game.
Today my intuition directed me to change my original plan and go to Laguna Lake in SLO to see if my favorite raptor, the Red Shouldered Hawk (Buteo linetus) and its mate were around, and I could get some shots. BINGO on both counts! Also, the bonus of this in-flight shot opportunity that clearly shows why its called Red-Shouldered; Sony a9: Sony 200-600mm lens +1.4X at 840mm; f/9; 1/2500sec; ISO 800; mindfully handheld; what do you think Jerry? (another big RSH fan)
“You can't fuck up anything that is meant for you, so stop being so scared of what will happen. Trust your intuition and let your heart and soul guide you on this journey. I promise you, you can not mess anything up that is meant for you.”

THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTO: MY LONG AND ARDUOUS JOURNEY TO BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY
If you've set yourself the challenge of exclusively shooting the wildlife in your own back yard, you might find - as I did - that bird photography is really, really hard.
It's not that reptiles are easy to photograph either, mind - but at least the ones in my garden stay (for the most part) on the ground, and one can learn how to carefully approach them with a camera. They're also clearly egoists, which from a photographer's point of view is is a great character trait: if a lizard detects a human in its vicinity, it's only interested in saving its own skin, and it won't alarm its buddies.
But birds... oh man. Over the years, my feathered friends and I have developed a lovely routine that now defines our peaceful co-existence. As soon as I as much as open a window (let alone the door), I'm instantly greeted by an eruption of panicky fluttering and hysterical shouts from my garden: "SAVE YOUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND FLY FOR YOUR LIVES: THE HAIRLESS, PINK MONSTER IS COMING!!! (Yes, I speak bird, and I know that this is exactly what they are shouting 😉).
Needless to say, with the exception of the redstart I already showed here, all my efforts to get the kind of detailed shots I usually strive for with my nature photography ended in complete failure and utter disillusionment. I was ready to give up on stalking the winged misanthropes in my garden altogether, but then winter came - and changed everything.
One day this past January I observed my neighbor Signora P - a kind, elderly Italian lady - putting something on the low garden wall in front of my house. At first I thought she was just putting some treat there for her cat Romeo; the young tom patrols that wall constantly (it's his favorite spot in the garden, and during the warmer months he usually lurks in the thick foliage next to it to prey on lizards).
But once I detected a lot of movement on that wall through my window, I understood she had put a little pile of bread crumbs there; she was feeding the birds who soon arrived in flocks. This was certainly well-intended on my neighbor's part, but her noble action came with a catch, and I'm afraid quite literally.
When I took a stroll through my garden the next day I discovered a suspicious amount of feathers on the ground next to the wall. Romeo had apparently switched from his low-calorie summer diet (lizard) to more energy-rich meals consisting of "fowl" (it was winter after all, so from a nutritionist's point of view this made sense).
I would find fresh traces of Romeo's victims (mostly feathers, but also the odd wing) in my garden over the following days; so my first intuition that my neighbor was feeding her cat hadn't been that far off after all, as Romeo was now clearly being "served" fresh birds on a daily basis. And although the hungry visitors seemed to be aware of the danger and became slightly more prudent, they just couldn't resist the tasty snacks Signora P put on that wall - and neither could Romeo.
It was obvious that I had to act, but talking to my neighbor - who is as stubborn as she is kind - would have been futile, I knew that much. I pondered the matter long and hard - until a light bulb went off in my head. The idea was genius. If successful, what I had in mind would not only increase the birds' chances of surviving Romeo's appetite, but also greatly benefit my own photographic endeavors.
I started to enact my master plan the very next day by buying a giant bag of bird feed (consisting mainly of sunflower seeds) from the store. Then I dragged a huge piece of a tree trunk (approx. 120 cm in height) that we normally chop firewood on in the shed out into the garden and emptied almost half of the bag's content on top of it. Signora P's buffet for birds (and cats) was about to get some serious competition 😊.
My reasoning was as follows: not only would the birds be lured away from the fatally low garden wall to a place where they were safe from the cat - there was nothing around that tree trunk that provided cover for a predator, and the birds had a nice 360° view around it at all times - but I was also able to photograph them while hiding in the shed.
However, in order for my plan to work there was one little extra measure I had to take, and it was one that risked lowering my own life expectancy considerably once the owner of the property - my mom - discovered it. You see, our shed is completely windowless, so if I wanted to use it as a blind, I had no choice but to cut a hole into one of its wooden walls... which I promptly did (I figured all's fair in love - and photography 😉).
Granted, I have absolutely zero carpentering skills, and it showed. That hole was an ugly mess: the shed's wall seemed to have had an encounter with Jack Nicholson's ax-wielding lunatic character from the film 'The Shining'. Needless to say, I was incredibly proud of my work (I mean, come on: there now was a hole where before there wasn't a hole, and it was big enough for the lens of my camera to peek through, so it was mission accomplished as far as I was concerned).
Now all I had to do was wait for the birds to discover the tree trunk. In the meantime I started to mentally prepare myself for the inevitable confrontation with my mom and go through possible explanations for that splintering hole in the wall (it was either gonna be a rabid woodpecker attack or an emergency rescue mission with a feeding tube for a little kid that had accidentally locked himself inside the shed - both seemed valid options, though I slightly preferred the locked-in kid due to the involved drama and heroism 😉).
A whole day went by, and not a single bird visited the sunflower seeds. I had expected that it might take a few hours until the first of the ever curious great tits or blue tits would show up, but given how tiny my garden is, an entire day seemed excessive. Then another day came and went: the birds kept flocking to the bread crumbs on the wall, and my tree trunk kept collecting dust. To add injury to insult, a few fresh feathers on the ground were proof that Romeo was still feasting.
It was incredibly frustrating: I provided my winged guests with a much better view - plus a higher chance of surviving the cuisine - than Signora P's place; I risked (almost) certain death at the hands of my own mother (OK, the act of vandalism on the shed I had committed for my own benefit, but still), yet the birds kept ignoring me.
Then, after three days, just before sunset, I spotted a single blue tit on the tree trunk picking away at the sunflower seeds.
When I got up the next morning I immediately realized that the loud noise that accompanies each and every tit activity had shifted from the wall to the shed. At last the dam had broken: there was a flurry of movement around the tree trunk, and I counted at least 5 different species of birds feasting on the sunflower seeds.
From day 4 onward my plan worked beautifully: the birds now indeed mostly ignored Romeo's "snack wall" and kept to the tree trunk. And yes, I was able to play peeping tom from behind the shed's wall and photograph them!! 😊
Thus, dear readers, I finally managed to produce some acceptable bird photos, and I had even saved my feathered friends from a deadly foe in the process. All through winter and spring I took advantage of my new bird hide, and in late May I started mixing some cherries with the sunflower seeds. The idea was to attract a Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius), and as you can see, it worked!
It took me almost three weeks and more than a few tricks to capture that clever fella, but given how long I've been rambling here already, that's a story for another day. As for my mom, she still doesn't know about the hole in the wall, so please don't snitch! 😉.
I hope you like the photo and wish you all a wonderful weekend! Many greetings from Switzerland, and as always: let me know what you think in the comments 🙏 😊 ❤!
P.S. if anyone has their own funny tale about the obstacles we photographers are prepared to overcome for a desired photo, please write it in the comments: I love such stories 😊
Us
Gathered
Life is a journey
We have proven this
Over and over
Things happen
You are in a flow
You let your intuition tell you what to do
That's always the best journeys
Keep our intuition open
Being openminded
Stop thinking so much
Just go with it
It is not the easiest way
I can tell you
There are so many questions
And so little answers
Because you don't need the answers
You must just trust
I do
"Not all truths must be seen to be known. Some are simply felt, in the wind, in silence, in the space between a canvas and the sea."
The Quiet Wisdom Of Intuition
It is in the hush of a moment, the shift in air, the unspoken pull of something distant yet familiar. Like a painting we cannot see, but somehow recognize, these are the truths that live in the soul, not the eyes.
With her head faced toward the sea as if listening for something only the waves could answer. She just stood there in her stillness, not waiting, not searching, but just being.
A single seagull drifted above, weightless and watchful.
Just beyond the edge of clear sight, stood a painters canvas where the horizon blurred into sky, far enough for the image on it remained unseen, a hidden story painted in silence.
She could not make out what was painted there, but somehow, she felt it belonged to her. Not as the artist or even the subject, but as a thread in the story, woven into paint and air and time.
And in that fleeting moment, standing in the hush between sea and sky, she understood that: "not all truths must be seen to be known."

It was at some point while watching Lemonade, as I wondered why I resonated with an experience I never had, that I realized I was going through the stages of grief--something new, to be sure. I decided I'd take some of the most resonant parts and Flickr them at some point in the future. Therapy.
You can taste the dishonesty
It's all over your breath
As you pass it off so cavalier
But even that's a test;
Constantly aware of it all
My lonely ear
Pressed against the walls of your world
Pray to catch you whispering.
I pray you catch me listening.
What are you doing, my love?

The greatest mystics have not been heretics but Catholic saints. In them “natural mysticism” which, like “natural religion,” is latent in humanity, and at the certain point of development breaks out in every race, came to itself; and attributing for the first time true and distinct personality to its Object, brought into focus the confused and unconditioned God which Neoplatonism had constructed from the abstract concepts of philosophy blended with the intuitions of Indian ecstatics, and made the basis of its meditations on the Real. It is a truism that the chief claim of Christian philosophy on our respect does not lie in its exclusiveness but in its Catholicity: in the fact that it finds truth in a hundred different systems, accepts and elucidates Greek, Jewish, and Indian thought, fuses them in a coherent theology, and says to speculative thinkers of every time and place, “Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you.”
-Evelyn Underhill, Mysticism, E. P. Dutton and Company (New York) pp. 105–6.
God speak within
When I listen to that little voice inside ...
My path becomes clear
Though the destiny unknown
