Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
A pleasant summer afternoon on the Mississippi watching the Jonathan Padelford cruise past St. Paul, Minnesota.
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 11th of January is "anything with A", where a picture of something (person, animal, plant, object) that begins with the letter A is required. Thus, I have opted for some beautiful Jonathan apples, which I photographed in the Nightingale Orchard a couple of years ago, when I visited the town of Wandilligong in provincial Victoria. These beautiful red apples were just too good to pass up on! I hope you like my choice of the theme for this week, and that it makes you smile!
Jonathan is a medium-sized sweet apple, with a touch of acid and a tough but smooth skin, good for eating fresh and for cooking.
The Nightingale family has been growing crisp, juicy apples in the Wandiligong Valley and alpine surrounds for over 60 years. Four generations on, the Nightingale family have five orchards: two at Wandiligong located 5 kilometres from Bright, one in the Buckland Valley just below Mount Buffalo, one at Stanley, and one in Batlow in southern New South Wales.

I can't wait to get back here with my newer 14-24mm lense as this is quite the hike to get to.

'“See here, Jonathan,” said his father, not unkindly. “Winter isn’t far away.
Boats will be few, and the surface fish will be swimming deep. If you must
study, then study food, and how to get it. This flying business is all very well,
but you can’t eat a glide, you know. Don’t you forget that the reason you fly is to
eat.”
Jonathan nodded obediently. For the next few days he tried to behave like
the other gulls; he really tried, screeching and fighting with the flock around the
piers and fishing boats, diving on scraps of fish and bread. But he couldn’t make
it work.
It’s all so pointless, he thought, deliberately dropping a hard-won anchovy
to a hungry old gull chasing him. I could be spending all this time learning to fly.
There’s so much to learn!
...and for my pleasure

Il piccolo e anticonformista Gabbiano Jonathan riesce ad intravedere una nuova via da poter seguire, una via che allontana dalla banalità e dal vuoto del suo precedente stile di vita, e comprende che oltre che del cibo un gabbiano vive " della luce e del calore del sole, vive del soffio del vento, delle onde spumeggianti del mare e della freschezza dell'aria.
dal libro "Il gabbiano Jonathan Livingston" di Richard Bach
Skybird (Neil Diamond)
Make your sail
And every heart
Will know of the tale
And head for the farthest shore
Songbird
Make your tune
For none may sing it just as you do
And make your song be heard
Look at the way I glide
Caught on the winds lazy tide
Sweetly how it sings
Rally each heart
At the sight of your silver wings
Skybird
Skybird
Night bird
Find your way
For none may know it just as you may
Seek out your harbor of light
Let your song be heard
Rally each heart
To the sight of your silver wings

Les deux seuls athlètes de la région présents au Championnat canadien de canoë-kayak d’eau vive ont remporté les grands honneurs dans leur catégorie, hier. Stéfanie Vallée et Jonathan Boily ont très bien fait lors de l’épreuve de descente de 6 km dans la rivière Shipshaw. Boily, âgé de 12 ans, était le plus jeune kayakiste sur place.
Le jeune garçon qui réside à Shipshaw a commencé à pratiquer le kayak l’an dernier, sur les conseils de son entraîneur de ski alpin. Depuis ce temps, il est passionné par ce sport dont la pratique est encore rare parmi les jeunes de la région.
“Je vais à Cépal deux fois par semaine pour l’entraînement. Nous faisons des petits tournois amicaux régulièrement, mais c’est la première fois que je participe à une compétition d’une telle envergure”, raconte le jeune homme qui a pris part, hier soir, à l’épreuve de slalom en eau clame destinée à faire connaître le kayak aux non-initiés.
Jonathan est catégorique lorsqu’on lui demande ce qu’il aime le plus de ce sport.
“Les rapides! C’est vraiment une sensation spéciale. J’apprécie aussi le fait que je suis toujours en contact avec l’eau. De plus, un peu comme ce qui se fait au ski, j’aime bien le slalom.”
Patrick Lévesque et Véronique Leblanc, organisateurs de l’événement, expliquent que trois ou quatre jeunes font partie du Centre Torrent, le club où ils entraînent.
“Jonathan est un bel exemple de relève. Il se débrouille très bien. Nous voyons qu’il y a un intérêt pour le kayak chez les jeunes de son âge. Dans deux ans, on risque de voir Jonathan bien faire sur la scène provinciale.”
It was a pleasure to see Jonathan Safran Foer at Printer's Row Lit Fest. I just finished his newest novel, Here I Am, a couple of weeks ago. Of course, everyone takes away different things from literature but I liked how he explored human choices, the sense of a Jewish American identity and the differences between Jewish Americans and Israelis, and also the sense of family.
The novel is really complex in it's sense of character development and the way the plot shapes these characters in how they react. In conversation, he talked about the idea of not truly knowing how you'll react until that even occurs. He also spoke about being less terrified over the Trump administration at this point but how he first felt.
As a vegan, I enjoyed how Foer mentioned that he is raising his children vegetarian and how, when some ask him how he can force his own personal choices onto children, he would suggest how could they raise their children as carnivores...that either way you are making that choice. I thought that was interesting. I still haven't read Eating Animals, a nonfiction work even though I have read all of his novels. However, I don't think I am really the person who needs to read Eating Animals as I'm already vegan having done enough research about decreasing methane gas and maximizing land use to minimize world poverty. I also have a fondness for animals and (as I've said since I was 13), if I wouldn't eat my cat, why would I eat another living thing that can feel pain?
