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!
Batman is using his body language to tell me he is hungry.
A stack of bowls is on the other side of that cabinet door--with leftover dry kibble in them. He checks this spot frequently, to see if one of us forgets to close the cabinet.
because of our deep need to complain ;-)

The Waterfall of the Gods, Viking cruise excursion, Northern Iceland's Natural Treasures
Goðafoss translates from modern Icelandic as "the waterfall of the gods", a nickname said to come from a myth from Iceland's history. According to legend, after converting the country to Christianity, Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði (one of the main rulers of the island at that time) threw all his pagan idols into the waterfall, thus changing the Viking gods for the Christian god.
Dvigrad (Twin-town), Docastei in Istriot language, is an abandoned medieval town in central Istria, Croatia. It is located in the Draga valley. The history of the settlement is prehistoric; it remained inhabited until the 18th century.
The region was settled by the Illyrians in prehistoric times. In 1345, Dvigrad was sacked by the Genoese admiral Paganin Doria during conflicts between Genoa and Venice. The Venetians sacked the town in 1383, but did not take rule of it until 1413, when a nobleman from Koper was put in governance. In the 16th century, plague and malaria depopulated much of the town. In the year 1615 it was besieged again, by Uskoks, and while it escaped capture it was abandoned save for a few poor residents within 15 years. Only three families remained by 1650. In 1714, the last residents left the town to ruin.

Our daily ritual this winter is a walk ... either on the very frozen Keefer Lake or on our forest trail (or both). Although she is mostly very patient with me, sometimes Rosa can get frustrated when I am constantly stopping to take photos. I liked the 'hole in the sky' that was developing.
PS: That's the dog's leash in her hands - not a mobile phone. :)

There are infinite shadings of light and shadows and colors... it's an extraordinarily subtle language. Figuring out how to speak that language is a lifetime job.

Reading all my feelings, need a one-way ticket
Looking so fly 'cause I mind my business
Self-proposed but you know I'm vicious
Slow your roll, you can't lie to me, baby
I see it all in your eyes and your face
Want these knees to go opposite ways
And I see you fiendin', go off on it, babe
I don't need to speak, I'm not talkin', babe

Since 2014 in China, bookstores—both private and state-run—prominately display the leader’s official writings, now published in multiple volumes and translated into numerous languages.
In this photograph, between the leader's glorious works (the white-covered volumes on the left) and the red-bound books on the right documenting his glorious experiences and achievements, the guy on the floor is absorbed in a mobile game. What I couldn’t capture in this photo was another man dozing off behind me.
The Monastery at Lébény was established between 1199 and 1203, by a nobleman, for private worship. The complex was dedicated to the Apostle Saint James the Great. Though the existing charter for approving the donations and construction was signed by Andreas II (1208), one of the walls of the church had “1206” engraved in them, which may indicate that the church was already built at that time. It is also mentioned in the RegestrumVaradiense (an important language memorial), which was made in the late cathedral chapter of the present Oradea (Nagyvárad) in the 13th century. The monastery of Lébény was attacked and burnt down several times; the first by Mongols, then the second by King Ottokar I of Bohemia; and thereafter by the Turks, which was probably in 1529 and definitely in 1683. The monastery was taken back from the Turks by the arch-abbot of Pannonhalma in 1540. He named a new abbot, though the title only existed on paper for a little bit longer than two decades. In 1563 the monastery was burnt down again for the third time and was left devoured. Presently, the only part of the complex that is still standing is the iconic three-nave Romanesque church in the middle of Lébény village. This church is one of the most important Romanesque style buildings of Hungary, which was most probably restored in the 17th century by the Jesuits, and it was the first ever Hungarian monument that was restored in the second half of the 19th century. In addition, the Romanesque church is also operating as a parish of the village.
The name anemone comes from the Greek word for "windflower." According to Greek mythology, the anemone sprang from Aphrodite's tears as she mourned the death of Adonis.
Thought to bring luck and protect against evil, legend has it that when the anemone closes its petals, it's a signal that rain is approaching.
Still other mythology connects the anemone to magical fairies, who were believed to sleep under the petals after they closed at sunset. Perhaps it's because of this magical and prophetic tales that today in the language of flowers, anemones represent anticipation

Sur la piste synthétique, un tableau saisissant se dessine : au centre, une athlète rayonnante, le corps bandé d’énergie, le visage illuminé par la victoire !
Ses muscles sculptés témoignent d’une préparation impeccable, d’un entraînement sans concession.
Autour d’elle, un cercle de silhouettes effondrées. Dos courbés, regards perdus, elles incarnent l’abattement total. Leurs corps, naguère tendus vers l’effort, sont désormais affaissés, comme vidés de toute ambition.
Son sourire tranche brutalement avec l’atmosphère morose qui l’entoure. Chaque détail de sa gestuelle hurle la réussite, tandis que ses adversaires semblent avoir tout abandonné.
Un moment cristallisé où le sport révèle ses émotions les plus brutales : la gloire absolue contre le désespoir le plus complet !!! 🤔
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
On the synthetic track, a striking image emerges: in the centre, a beaming athlete, her body full of energy, her face radiant with victory !
Her sculpted muscles bear witness to impeccable preparation and uncompromising training.
Around her, a circle of collapsed figures. Their backs bent, their gazes lost, they are the embodiment of total despondency. Their bodies, once taut with effort, are now collapsed, as if emptied of all ambition.
Their smiles stand in stark contrast to the gloomy atmosphere around them. Every detail of their movements screams success, while their opponents seem to have given up.
A crystalline moment in which sport reveals its most brutal emotions: absolute glory versus utter despair. !!!! 🤔

Benedict went to work at E. Remington and Sons in nearby Ilion, N.Y., after his Hamilton graduation. This company not only manufactured arms and agricultural implements but also did piece work for inventors who devised new machines. One such invention, in 1873, was for a typewriter designed by Christopher Latham Sholes. Although the Remington company did not make much progress with the manufacture of the new instrument, Benedict realized its potential.
Benedict and two partners bought the rights to the typewriter and organized a firm to sell the “practical writing machine.” The name Remington was retained, and in 1902 the Remington Typewriter Co. was formed with Benedict as president until his retirement in 1913. Benedict, who served as a Hamilton trustee from 1897 until his death in 1935, provided funds for the Hall of Languages, built in 1897, and for the purchase of the Chapel organ.
