Large stately stork with an enormous black bill, black head and neck. Female has yellow eyes. In flight note white belly and mostly white wings with a central black panel, long red/pink legs trailing behind. Immature has darker upperwings. Usually found singly or in pairs around tropical wetlands and ponds. (eBird)

Finally, a close-up view of this magnificent stork. We had seen them in India, but always at a great distance. So happy to find this one, and many others, in Australia. He certainly didn't pay any attention to the Salties as he walked around one on the bank.
Confusingly, they are known locally and in some languages, as Jabiru - a stork found only in Central and South America.

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

Language Of Love
I’m old fashioned and romantic
Like the films in black and white
all the lovers were enchanting
can you and I be old-fashioned tonight?
I wanna get lost in the music
and feel tipsy from the wine
speak of love, I won’t refuse it
I want a love like in another place and time
Dance with me
Oh, so close
and the music will speak the language of love
*Drumknott*
Just imagine me in white satin
like a 1930’s star
if we play the part, lovely things can happen
we can be old fashion being who we are
Dance with me
Oh, so close
and the music will speak the language of love
I wanna let the rhythm take us
I wanna know what it can make us feel
so let the moment hypnotize us
fantasy is a tiny step from real

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!

The Anhinga, sometimes called the SnakeBird, Dater, American Darter, or Water Turkey, is a water bird of the warmer parts of the Americas. The word Anhinga comes from Brazilian Tupi language and means Devil Bird or Snake Bird.
LANGUAGE SAYS
"Language says: Before Language
there stands a language. Language is tainted traces
from over there.
Language says: Listen, now.
You listen: There has been
an echo.
Take silence and try to be silent.
Take words and try to speak.
Beyond language, Language is a wound
from which the world flows and flows.
Language says: Is, Is not, Is,
Is not. Language says: I.
Language says: Let’s speak you,
let’s feel you, come say
you have said."

Apologies for repeating myself, but when I updated my home page I suddenly felt that these two needed to be together. Not in the least because of how they reflect the ideas behind the design of this pavilion.
"For the Sonsbeek pavilion Van Eyck provided an elementary structure of six parallel walls made out of concrete blocks, which he manipulated into a surprisingly rich and labyrinthine interior by inserting semicircular niches and apses into the rectilinear structure. Van Eyck described the result as an urban space intentionally conceived in opposition to the natural idyll of the nineteenth-century park, which followed the formal language of the English landscape garden.
The scenography aimed to create the experience of an almost spontaneous encounter with the artworks on display. This was not only communicated through the spatial typology of streets, alleys and small piazzas, but it was also crucially achieved by a relatively high density of artworks gathered together in the narrow spaces which forced one to walk by the sculptures in close proximity."
Formsprache bezeichnet das gezielte Zusammenspiel von Linien, Flächen, Farben und Volumen in Design, Kunst oder Architektur. Sie fungiert als visuelles Vokabular, das unterbewusst Emotionen, Werte sowie historische Epochen kommuniziert.
Organisch (Fließend & Rund): Steht für Natur, Dynamik, Sanftheit und Lebendigkeit.
Design language refers to the deliberate interplay of lines, surfaces, colours and volumes in design, art or architecture. It acts as a visual vocabulary that subconsciously conveys emotions, values and historical eras.
Organic (flowing & rounded): Symbolises nature, dynamism, softness and vitality.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
Lao Tzu
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
Aesop
A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.
William Arthur Ward
Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
Anon
Together we can change the world, just one random act of kindness at a time.
Ron Hall
With all of the bad things that are happening in the world right now, I think we need a message of togetherness and true unity. I believe that starts with personal reflection and then we can find kindness toward each other. Marielle Heller
I have long believed that there are fundamentally two forces or emotions that drive our decisions - love and fear. Love has its many manifestations: compassion, gratitude, kindness, and joy. Fear often manifests in cynicism, anger, jealousy, and anxiety. I worry that many of our communities are being driven by fear.
Vivek Murthy
Kindness is the sunshine in which virtue grows.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness. George Sand
Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
Marcel Proust
You don't teach morals and ethics and empathy and kindness in the schools. You teach that at home, and children learn by example.
Judy Sheindlin
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, and stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️

I made another similar one, for the Event (check previous post)
just wanted to share this too :)
Sing with me:
I'm old fashioned and romantic
Like the films in black and white
All the lovers were enchanting
Can you and I be old fashioned tonight
I wanna get lost in the music
And feel tipsy from the wine
Speak of love, I won't refuse it
I want a love like in another place and time
Dance with me
Oh, so close
Dance with me
And the music will speak the language of love
Just imagine me in white satin
Like a nineteen thirty's star
If we play the part, lovely things can happen
We can be old fashion being who we are
Dance with me
Oh, so close
Dance with me
Oh, so close (Dance with me)
I wanna let the rhythm take us
I wanna know what it can make us feel (Oh, so close)
So let the moment hypnotize us
A fantasy is a tiny step from real (Dance with me)
I wanna let the rhythm take us
I wanna know what it can make us feel (Oh, so close)
So let the moment hypnotize us
A fantasy is a tiny step from
And the music will speak the language of love
And the music will speak the language of love

The ocean has never been silent. It simply speaks a language that cannot be heard, only remembered. She wanders through its emerald halls without disturbing a single current, listening to conversations carried by bubbles, seaweed, and forgotten tides. Every creature that passes seems to recognize her, as though she belonged not to the sea itself, but to the memory the sea keeps of the world.
Some truths were never meant to rise to the surface. They remain suspended beneath the waves, waiting for those who understand that wisdom is not always found in answers... sometimes it lives quietly in everything that chooses not to speak.

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.
Engraved by insects on my juniper tree, the uncertain message is a wooden petroglyph. Like any language, with study, one day I will know its meaning.

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
