sat and posed for a nice portrait for me. I couldn't believe how close he actually let me get. He must see me when I'm filling the bird feeders. He probably thinks I work for him.

"This desert rose

whose shadow bears the secret promise.

This desert flower,

no sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this.

And now she turns,

this way she moves in the logic of all my dreams.

This fire burns.

I realize that nothing's as it seems;

I dream of rain,

I dream of gardens in the desert sand.

I wake in vain,

I dream of love as time runs through my hand..."

♫ Desert Rose ♫

A tiny figure stands looking down on a rock arch at Ponta Da Piedade, Lagos, Portugal.

Down around the corner, half a mile from here

See them long trains run, and you watch them disappear

Without love, where would you be now

Without love.....

Aglaiocercus kingi (Long-tailed Sylph / Cometa verdiazul)

Sylphs (Aglaiocercus) are short-billed, long-tailed hummingbirds of humid montane forests of the Andes. The Long-tailed Sylph is the most widespread member of the genus, and occurs from Venezuela south to Bolivia.

This is the only species of sylph on the east slopes of the Andes. In Colombia and Ecuador, it also is found on the western slopes of the Andes. This species forages at all heights in the forest, and at forest edge.

long black train

josh turner

There's a long black train

Coming down the line

Feeding off the souls that are lost and crying

Rails of sin only evil remains

Watch out brother for that long black train

Look to the heavens

You can look to the skies

You can find redemption

Staring back into your eyes

There is protection and there's peace the same

Burnin' your ticket for that long black train

'Cause there's victory in the Lord I say

Victory in the Lord

Cling to the Father and his holy name

And don't go riding on that long black train

There's an engineer on that long black train

Making you wonder if your ride is worth the pain

He's just a waitin' on your heart to say

Let me ride on that long black train

But you know there's victory in the Lord I say

Victory in the Lord

Cling to the Father and his holy name

And don't go riding on that long black train

Well I can hear the whistle from a mile away

It sounds so good

But I must stay away

That train is a beauty making everybody stare

But its only destination is the middle of nowhere

But you know there's victory in the Lord I say

Victory in the Lord

Cling to the Father and his holy name

And don't go riding on that long black train

I said cling to the father and his holy name and don't go ridin' on that black train

Yes watch out brother for that long black train

That devil's a drivin' that long black train

HAPPY WEDNESDAY; LoVe! AM

2 de los centenares de barcos llenos de turistas que recorren la bahía de Ha Long y que por desgracia están destrozando esta maravilla declarada patrimonio de la humanidad. Hace mucho tiempo que se comenta que van a restringir la zona a una cantidad muy inferior de barcos pero supongo que siendo la mayor fuente de ingresos por turismo debe ser muy complicado. Como en otros muchos lugares del mundo aquí también encuentras toneladas de plástico flotando en el agua.

2 of the hundreds of boats full of tourists that travel through Ha Long Bay and that unfortunately are destroying this wonder declared a World Heritage Site. It has been said for a long time that they are going to restrict the area to a much smaller number of boats, but I suppose that being the largest source of income from tourism, it must be very complicated. As in many other places in the world, here you also find tons of plastic floating in the water.

Fa molt de temps que es comenta que restringiran la zona a una quantitat molt inferior de vaixells però suposo que sent la major font d'ingressos per turisme ha de ser molt complicat. Com en molts altres llocs del món aquí també trobes tones de plàstic flotant a l'aigua.
