You don't know what you did, did to me
Your body language, speaks to me
I can make it hurricane on it
Hunnid bands, make it rain on it
Tie it up, put a chain on it
Make you tattoo my name on it, oh
Make you cry like a baby, yeah
Jan Hus was a Czech church reformer executed in 1415. His teachings had a profound influence on the history of the Czech nation.
Jan Hus’s contribution to the development of the Czech literary language was the introduction of diacritical marks, such as: č, š, ř, ž, á, í, é. The purpose of this innovation was representing each sound by only one symbol and eleminating digraphs (sounds represented by two letters).
The inscription on the monument reads “Milujte se, pravdy každému přejte”, which means more or less: “Love one another, wish the truth to everyone”. This is a shortened version of a quote from one of Hus’s letters from prison. The day of his execution, July 6th, is a public holiday in Czechia (Jan Hus Day).

Bellis symbolism:
innocence, purity, rebirth and new beginnings.
The genus name “Bellis” is the Latin word for “pretty” or “beautiful”.
The common name “Daisy” is a corruption of “Days Eye” and refers to the way that the flower closes at night and opens in the day, because at night the petals close over the yellow center and during the day they re-open.

The Hidden Language of theRoses
The Rose blooms are delicious creatures ! Not just because they are fragrant. Not just because they have magical colours and forms. Not just because the moment you stare at them, you are transferred to other , better worlds. Not just because they have an aura with divine energy around them!
But also, because, the moment you are found in the middle of your blooming garden, the Roses with their blooming blooms, captivate SO much your strong attention, that you… forget to… eat when you are hungry, you forget your tasks of the day, you forget your appointments, your calls!! The only thing you want, is to go very close to them and “see” them with all your being and your senses!! To capture their Divine Beauty, because you know it is ephemeral, like all physical things…In order to have them by your side when the winter approaches, with its loooong dark, cold days, while themselves have already started hibernating until your new rendezvous in the coming Spring…
❤️You can admire here the magnificent Rose bloom of a David Austin Rose : Grace !! Her blooms’ form and apricot color harmony, are especially attractive and original!

Corona beperkt mijn bewegingsvrijheid dus zal ik voornamelijk op loop- of fietsafstand mijn foto's kunnen maken. Maar dat geeft niet, je ziet telkens iets anders wat ik de moeite van het fotograferen waard vind.

Floriography... the language of flowers. This Hydrangea stands for boastfulness... reaching to the rooftops at a time when other flowers are finishing for the season.
Smile on Saturday
I promise it's the little things that you do, that make me wanna give it all to you
Hope your Valentine's Day is filled with lots of self-love!
Alert, fear, anxiety, intimidation, defensiveness and in heightened state. This communication method is known as "piloerection." Same thing when dog's hair is pointing straight up to intimidate another one or ready to fight. This was the Black-crowned Night Heron's reaction to a mink running its way and then behind the branch (see other picture).

John Ray wrote the first proper bird book in the English language in 1678 (though he published the same work in Latin two years earlier). There were earlier books that referenced birds, often with a more general natural history theme, but Ray's was the first devoted to birds. In this first bird book Ray gave three names to this species; "The common Barn-Owl, or White-Owl, or Church-Owl". So one name referred to its unique owl colour, and two referred to its habitat preferences. Interestingly Ray gave the name "Ivy-Owl" as an alternative to our Tawny Owl, and I usually find them roosting in Ivy. The next major work on birds was Thomas Pennant in 1768, though it was a more general work on Zoology. Pennant coined the term warbler used for so many of our birds, and he often led the way for the selection of the accepted British name. But Pennant backed the wrong horse in this instance and chose White Owl. Later authors were reluctant to lose Barn Owl and often kept both names, such as William Yarrell in 1843. He listed both names but in his text showed a clear preference for Barn Owl, and the BOU officially adopted Barn Owl in 1883. So that is why a bird that nests freely in holes in trees, nest boxes on posts, and a variety of old buildings, has become linked to barns. Before I leave the names, the name Screech Owl was widely used and pre-dates Ray as it was first used in 1593. And Barn Owl does indeed screech. Have a listen on xeno-canto: www.xeno-canto.org/604167 , but the name Screech Owl has been adopted for different species of owl in America.
I photographed this hunting Barn Owl recently not far from my home while I was out for an afternoon walk. It was hunting over an abandoned grass field. You can see by the bramble over the wall that the field hasn't been used for some time.

Desde fuera, Santa Sofía no intenta seducir. Es un bloque imponente, reforzado por contrafuertes, que parece más preocupado por resistir que por impresionar. Pero basta con cruzar sus puertas para que el tiempo se diluya y el asombro se imponga. Su grandeza no está en las proporciones externas, sino en el espacio que contiene: un interior que desafía, incluso hoy, la lógica de lo posible.
Inaugurada en el año 537, esta es la tercera versión del templo. Las dos anteriores sucumbieron a las revueltas populares, pero la versión 3.0 no solo resistió, sino que cambió la historia de la arquitectura. Para concebir semejante prodigio hicieron falta un físico y un matemático: Isidoro de Mileto y Antemio de Tralles. No se limitaron a diseñar un edificio; imaginaron lo inconcebible para su época.
Los innumerables terremotos que ha sufrido Estambul han intentado derribarla, pero ahí sigue. Y su cúpula sigue siendo el prodigio más evidente: 31,87 metros de diámetro, suspendida a 56,6 metros de altura, flotando como por arte de magia sobre un anillo de ventanas. Durante casi mil años, Santa Sofía fue el edificio religioso más grande del mundo. Lo más asombroso es que, pese a sus dimensiones, no abruma. Todo en ella —la luz, las proporciones, la acústica— está pensado para elevar, no para aplastar.
Para su construcción se emplearon algunos de los materiales más preciosos del mundo antiguo, y todavía se percibe. Columnas de mármol traídas de Éfeso, pórfido de Egipto, piedra verde de Tesalia, ónice de Frigia... Un catálogo de imperios antiguos al servicio de la nueva Roma. Todo fue elegido para deslumbrar.
Y si algo detiene el paso, son los mosaicos. Dorados, delicados, suspendidos en el tiempo, sobreviven como fragmentos de una gloria que fue bizantina, que fue cristiana, que fue imperial. Algunos permanecen cubiertos; otros asoman tímidamente entre yesos y restauraciones. Todos hablan un idioma que mezcla fe, arte y poder. Es imposible no quedarse en silencio ante el Cristo Pantocrátor o la emperatriz Zoe ofreciendo sus dones celestiales.
Hoy, tras su reconversión en mezquita, ya no se puede visitar libremente la planta baja. Y eso significa que uno de los rincones más curiosos ha quedado fuera del alcance de los visitantes: la famosa “columna que llora”, siempre húmeda, envuelta en leyendas. Se dice que si introduces el dedo en su orificio y este sale mojado, tus deseos serán cumplidos. Otros creen que sus aguas tienen poderes curativos. Según la tradición, la columna llora de pena por el sultán Vedud y fue creada, nada menos, con la saliva del profeta Mahoma.

From the outside, Hagia Sophia doesn’t try to seduce. It’s an imposing mass, reinforced with buttresses, more concerned with endurance than with display. But step through its doors, and time dissolves. Awe takes over. Its greatness doesn’t lie in its outer proportions, but in the space it holds within—a space that, even today, defies the logic of what should be possible.
Inaugurated in 537, this is the third version of the building. The two previous ones fell victim to popular uprisings, but version 3.0 not only survived—it changed the course of architectural history. It took a physicist and a mathematician to conceive such a marvel: Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles. They didn’t just design a building; they imagined the unimaginable.
The many earthquakes that have shaken Istanbul tried to bring it down, but Hagia Sophia still stands. And its dome remains its most extraordinary feature: 31.87 meters in diameter, suspended 56.6 meters above the ground, seemingly floating on a ring of windows. For nearly a thousand years, it was the largest religious building in the world. What’s most astonishing is that, despite its scale, it doesn’t overwhelm. Everything—its light, proportions, and acoustics—seems designed to uplift rather than oppress.
The materials used in its construction were among the most precious of the ancient world, and that richness is still felt. Marble columns from Ephesus, porphyry from Egypt, green stone from Thessaly, onyx from Phrygia... a catalogue of ancient empires placed at the service of the new Rome. Every detail was chosen to dazzle.
And if anything stops you in your tracks, it’s the mosaics. Golden, delicate, suspended in time—they survive as fragments of a glory that was Byzantine, Christian, imperial. Some remain covered, others peek out timidly from beneath plaster and restorations. They speak a language of faith, art, and power. It’s impossible not to fall silent before the image of Christ Pantocrator, or Empress Zoe offering her celestial gifts to the Redeemer.
Today, since its reconversion into a mosque, the ground floor is no longer freely accessible. That means one of the building’s most curious features is now out of reach: the famous “weeping column,” always moist, wrapped in legend. It’s said that if you insert your finger into the hole and it comes out wet, your wishes will come true. Others believe its waters have healing powers. According to tradition, the column weeps in sorrow for Sultan Vedud, and was created using the saliva of the Prophet Muhammad.
