♫ Mood ~ Shinedown - Simple Man
See No Evil
by Billy Collins
No one expected all three of them
to sit there on their tree stumps forever,
their senses covered with their sinuous paws
so as to shut out the vile, nefarious world.
As it happened,
it was the one on the left
who was the first to desert his post,
uncupping his ears,
then loping off into the orbit of rumors and lies,
but also into the realm of symphonies,
the sound of water tumbling over rocks
and wind stirring the leafy domes of trees.
Then the monkey on the right lowered his hands
from his wide mouth and slipped away
in search of someone to talk to,
some news he could spread,
maybe something to curse or shout about.
And that left the monkey in the middle
alone with his silent vigil,
shielding his eyes from depravity's spectacle,
blind to the man whipping his horse,
the woman shaking her baby in the air,
but also unable to see
the russet sun on a rough shelf of rock
and apples in the grass at the base of a tree.
Sometimes, he wonders about the other two,
listens for the faint sounds of their breathing
up there on the mantel
alongside the clock and the candlesticks.
And some nights in the quiet house
he wishes he could break the silence with a question,
but he knows the one on his right
would not be able to hear,
and the one to his left,
according to their sacred oath--
the one they all took with one paw raised--
is forbidden forever to speak, even in reply.

Originaire de Madagascar, la grenouille mantelle dorée ressemble sous bien des aspects aux dendrobates – les grenouilles toxiques d’Amérique centrale et du Sud. "Mantella aurantiaca" est classée depuis 2004 comme espèce en danger critique d’extinction d’après l’Union Internationale pour la Conservation de la Nature (UICN).
Une jolie couleur, un élevage en captivité plutôt facile, un animal rare ... Au moins 100 000 mantelles dorées auraient été prélevées en milieu naturel avant que ce commerce ne soit régulé (quotas, autorisations). Néanmoins, le commerce illégal persiste et le prélèvement en milieu naturel se poursuit. Autre menace : la réduction et la fragmentation de leur habitat. Les forêts de pandanus sont détruites pour le commerce du bois et les terres sont convoitées pour l’agriculture. Une autre cause de déclin serait l'introduction d'espèces exotiques sur l'île.
Sauvegarde :
L’élevage en captivité de l’espèce n’est pas difficile et permet de freiner le prélèvement en milieu naturel. De plus, une trentaine de parcs animaliers dans le monde participent au programme d’élevage mis en place. Ainsi, pour la première fois, le 19 mai 2017, 1500 mantelles dorées nées en captivité sont réintroduites dans la nature. Fait assez inhabituel, la compagnie Ambatovy, une société minière de Madagascar, finance le programme de conservation qui a permis ces réintroductions. Un exemple...

A clock I received from my Mom a very long time ago.
I was fascinated with it. The way the clock weight moved smoothly and silently around and back and forth.
It is a wind up version and over time, with moves from one house to another, it stopped working. ...Maybe I wound it a bit too much. I still have the key.
Every now and then, I think...well...I will find a clock maker to fix it. I still think I may.....

Not a great holiday for me (again), but here is my mantel.
I deliberately underexposed this and used a warming filter to give it an older tungsten lamp feel more reminiscent of my youth when all we had were incandescent lights in our house.
wished to make some changes in my home so I'e decided to decorate my mantel with an old lace I found some years ago in a flea market.

The fireplace mantel is decorated for the holidays - this year with the addition of some mini LED lights.

This photo was taken at a place called Big Bear, Ca. It's located in the Southern Rocky Mountain range just north of Los Angeles, California. This is actually a wood carved mantel that was just above a fireplace in one of the lodges at Big Bear. With the Christmas Garland added, it's just in time for the season of Christmas. Happy Holidays everyone!
My wife's decorated mantelpiece. A study of color and shadow. See the star shape on the left? The TV screen on the bottom right could be photoshopped out, but it is so American to have the TV going all the time.

Ein Mantel, den der 2018 verstorbene Dichter, Philosoph und Liedermacher Wilhelm Raabe, genannt "Tiger Willi" getragen hat
A coat worn by the poet, philosopher and singer-songwriter Wilhelm Raabe, called "Tiger Willi" 1947-2018
I was given a tall, white poinsettia for Christmas. Over time its leaves fell off so now the "flowers" live on adorning my mantel.
Original plant in comments.
Es ist furchtbar geworden! XD Aber ich musste es irgendwie trotzdem hochladen...ich bin vom Satan besessen. Bestimmt.
In the 19th century, and perhaps earlier, reverse painting on glass was an art form used in mirror manufacturing, clocks and more. This is from an old Gilbert shelf clock that keeps time and adds its rhythm (need a word origin search for this one) to a quiet room. Nice background for thought and meditation. If you looks close, you can see the painter's technique.
