One thing is clear and tangible to me in a way that it seldom has been: the world is full of God. From every pore, God rushes out to us, as it were. But we’re often blind. We remain stuck in the good times and the bad times and don’t experience them right up to the point where the spring flows from God. . . . In everything, God wants to celebrate encounter and asks for the prayerful response of surrender. The trick and the duty is only this: to develop a lasting awareness and a lasting attitude out of these insights and graces—or rather, to allow them to develop. Then life becomes free, in that freedom which we have often looked for.
-Alfred Delp to Luise Oestreicher, November 17, 1944; cited in Ultimate Price: Testimonies of Christians Who Resisted the Third Reich, selected by Annemarie S. Kidder (Maryknoll, NY: Orbis, 2012), 65–66.

Our first trip out to Harris back in 2015. It was well known about but far less popular, especially in early March. We had a fantastic week and as most folk do, we fell in love with the place.
No doubt we'll be back again very soon

Die rote Bank steht derzeit in direkter Nachbarschaft zur Kinderlore, so dass die Touristen nicht nur mit der roten Bank, sondern auch mit der Kinderlore eine bleibende Erinnerung haben!
The red bench is currently located in the immediate vicinity of the children's lore, so tourists will have a lasting memory not only with the red bench, but also with the children's lore!
Made from steel. Long-lasting. If not removed by human force, this monument could stand here on top of the Dunstable Downs for many centuries. Just like our neolithic standing stones. Telling the world, if there is anybody left to see, that we have been here. Had a life, had memories, sad and happy ones. We have been here. We may only guess what the "function" of the standing stones erected five thousand years ago might once have been. But we do know what the function of this steel menhir is: it actually is a "Wind Catcher", a piece of ecological engineering pumping fresh air into a building about a hundred meters away. However, there is much more to this monument than usefulness. It is overlooking Aylesbury Vale. It is a marker, time- and space-wise. We have been here.

…”But on an occasion like this we must wait for sunset. Setting out in the right way is just as important as the opening lines in a book: they determine everything.”

“…Our war is lasting longer than we expected - and this is the problem of our expectations. Our war lasts longer than expected those who denied Ukraine subjectivity, - and this is our merit. We know for sure that any outcome of this war will change the world to which we are accustomed. But this outcome will also depend on how the war changes us…” /Pavel Kazarin, journalist, military man.
“…Наша война длится дольше, чем мы ожидали – и в этом проблема наших ожиданий. Наша война длится дольше, чем ожидали те, кто отрицал субъектность Украины, - и в этом наша заслуга. Мы точно знаем, что любой ее исход изменит мир, к которому мы привыкли. Но этот исход также будет зависеть от того, как война изменит нас…” / Павел Казарин, журналист, военнослужащий.

Another example of leaves that have stayed on trees or bushes longer this year. The photo was taken on 3 December. The big tree, a willow, has almost lost all its leaves, but the bush on the left - a hazelnut - still has all its leaves, and so does the dark green rosebush on the right! Yes, it IS a rose that has climbed high into the pollarded willow.
Thalictrum aquilegiifolium is a species of flowering plant in the Ranunculaceae (buttercup) family. Its native range extends through Europe and temperate Asia, with a naturalized distribution in North America limited to New York and Ontario.
Thalictrum aquilegiifolium has unusual fluffy flower heads, usually pink/purple with long lasting flowers.

One of those classic last beech leaves in winter photo. They always catch my eye and when the light and fog is right it's a no brainer to make the photo.
Dramatic cliffs, moody weather, waterfalls and amazing nature of Faroes Islands definitely left many lasting impressions on us. It is not dissimilar to Iceland in the way that there is always something new to find and see around every corner. We found this beautiful spot only few hundred metres from where the previous photo was taken.

Santa Special trains will be very thin on the ground this year - or maybe none at all.
This one from 2019 was a memorable day with the cold conditions lasting all day for 35018 on a Lancaster to Carlisle Santa Special, the exhaust trail hanging in the still air as the train passes Harringtons Quarry at Shap in the late afternoon sunshine.
Chilly and windy I thought sunset was over and in my car warming up when I had to get back out because the last light lingered, colors deepened for a lovely long lasting last light of the day.

In cetaceans, maternal care is long-lasting. Offspring remain close to their mothers for an extended period, even after they can feed themselves. All whale species nurse their young for several months, though the exact duration varies by species. In Southern Right Whales, the gestation period typically lasts one year, followed by lactation for four to six months. Females have two mammary slits on either side of the genital slit, below the belly. Cetaceans lack sucking muscles; instead, the calf applies pressure to the nipple, causing milk to be ejected into its mouth.
The southern right whale makes long annual migrations. In summer and autumn it feeds in the cold waters near the slope of the Argentine Sea and Subantarctic Islands. During winter and spring, it migrates to temperate waters in the north Patagonian gulfs, the northern sector of the Argentine Sea, Uruguay and southern Brazil, where it breeds.
This species can be sighted in coasts from Maldonado to Rocha, approximately from July or August until October.

The next day (after this: www.flickr.com/photos/raskoll/16192187515/in/photostream/) the ice has melted, but the sunset was amazing, with vivid colors lasting into twilight and dusk.
Some locations that we all photograph somehow leave a lasting memory and this is one such place.😉
Hoof, Horace and I made our way up to this lofty point, we were that high, we could almost touch the stars. As always we like to arrive in good time, suss up the location and take it all in.✨💫⭐️
As this is such a quiet spot, it has quite a spiritual feel about it, so much so Horace said he had a confession to make.🐷😱
Horace told Hoof and I that he had been frequenting the home of a very beautiful Wessex Saddleback called Pinky. We should point out that Horace met Pinky at a barn dance a couple of years back, it was well before he met the gorgeous Gloucester Old spot, Petula Trotterby-Smith, who we covered in the reportage “To The Rescue”🏡🐽❣️🐖
For those of you who like a romantic story, our Horace has been taking it very cautiously with Petula and is in fact being the perfect gentleman. A couple of evenings ago I asked Horace “have you been Skyping Petula” yes he said how do you know Bri, I responded “you are wearing your Hugo Boss aftershave for the discerning gentleman”.💕
Horace continued with his confession, and went on to say that during one of his overnight stays at Pinky’s house, he asked her if it was alright to go out on the beer with a couple of his mates, he kissed her goodbye and uttered those famous words “I’ll only have a couple of pints love”. 😘🐽🍺🍺
Horace went on to tell Hoof and I that he got absolutely loaded, in fact he was so drunk he could not lie on the floor without holding on.🙈🐷😜
Horace knew he was in for a massive telling off when he got back to Pinky’s house. Horace had an idea, he thought that if he took off all his clothes at the bottom of the stairs, then climb the stairs on his hands and knees with nothing on, so that when he arrived in the bedroom, Pinky would be so shocked that she would forget to tell him off, well it was worth a try.🏡👹
So Horace took off all his clothes, went up the stairs, and when he got to the top of the stairs, he was still on the bus.
Thank you so much for looking at my photographs, the comments and banter you leave are so appreciated.
Have a lovely weekend🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷🐎🐷💃😎😂😂😂

SN/NC: Jacaranda Mimosifolia, Bignoniaceae Family
Jacaranda is a sub-tropical tree native to south-central South America that has been widely planted elsewhere because of its attractive and long-lasting violet-colored flowers. It is also known as the jacaranda, blue jacaranda, black poui, Nupur or fern tree. Older sources call it J. acutifolia, but it is nowadays more usually classified as J. mimosifolia. In scientific usage, the name "jacaranda" refers to the genus Jacaranda, which has many other members, but in horticultural and everyday usage, it nearly always means the blue jacaranda. In its native range in the wild, J. mimosifolia is listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN.
Native of Brazil, it has its name inherited from the native tribe Tupi-Guarani and in Botanic is the only tree that keeps the same name in more than 200 countries across the world.
Pretoria, the administrative capital of South Africa, is popularly known as Jacaranda City because of the large number of trees, which turn the city blue and purple when they flower in spring. The jacaranda trees, far from their native Brazil, bloom every October.
The city of Grafton on the north coast of New South Wales, Australia, is famous for its jacarandas. Each year in late October and early November, the city has a jacaranda festival.[
In the United States, the jacaranda is grown extensively in California, the Southwest, southeast Texas and Florida and even in Hawaii. It is such a beautiful tree and used as ornamental tree in many cities across the universe. The color captivates and it has also a nice smell attracting bees and butterflies. The wood is noble and a reason for a tirelessly hunt of this precious tree.

ブラジル原産のこの木は、原住民の部族トゥピ・グアラニ族からその名前を受け継いでおり、植物園では、世界 200 か国以上で同じ名前を保っている唯一の木です。
南アフリカの行政首都であるプレトリアは、春に花が咲くと街を青や紫に染める木々がたくさんあるため、ジャカランダ シティとして広く知られています。ジャカランダの木は原産地のブラジルから遠く離れており、毎年 10 月に開花します。
オーストラリア、ニューサウスウェールズ州の北海岸にあるグラフトン市は、ジャカランダで有名です。毎年 10 月下旬と 11 月上旬に、市ではジャカランダ フェスティバルが開催されます。[
米国では、ジャカランダはカリフォルニア、南西部、テキサス南東部、フロリダ、さらにはハワイでも広く栽培されています。それはとても美しい木であり、宇宙の多くの都市で装飾用の木として使用されています。色は魅惑的で、蜂や蝶を引き寄せる良い香りもします。この木材は高貴であり、この貴重な木を精力的に狩猟する理由があります。
蓝花楹是一种亚热带树木，原产于南美洲中南部。因其迷人持久的蓝紫色花朵，它被广泛引种到世界其他地区。它也被称为蓝花楹、蓝花楹树、黑 Poui、Nupur 或蕨树。较早的文献称其为 J. acutifolia，但现在通常被归类为 J. mimosifolia。在科学用语中，“jacaranda”一词指的是蓝花楹属，该属包含许多其他物种；但在园艺和日常用语中，它几乎总是指蓝色蓝花楹。在其原生地的野外环境中，J. mimosifolia 被世界自然保护联盟列为易危物种。
作为巴西的原产树木，它的名字源于图皮-瓜拉尼土著部落。在植物学中，它是唯一一种在全世界超过200个国家中保持相同名称的树。
南非的行政首都比勒陀利亚，因其拥有大量蓝花楹树而被大众称为“蓝花楹之城”。每年春天，这些远离故土巴西的蓝花楹树如期绽放，将整座城市渲染成蓝色和紫色。
澳大利亚新南威尔士州北海岸的格拉夫顿市也以其蓝花楹而闻名。每年十月下旬到十一月初，该市都会举办蓝花楹节。
在美国，蓝花楹在加利福尼亚州、西南部、德克萨斯州东南部、佛罗里达州乃至夏威夷都被广泛种植。它是一种极其美丽的树木，被全球许多城市用作观赏树。它的色彩令人着迷，花香怡人，能吸引蜜蜂和蝴蝶。其木材质地高贵，这也导致了人们对这种珍贵树木无休止的追逐。
