I have lived with several Zen masters -- all of them cats.

The master returns

There's always some kind of war

And counting his steps

You know it's him at the door

You picture yourself

A star in the furthest sky

Escape from the mess

It's gone when you close your eyes

The master returns

There's always some kind of war

And counting his steps

You know it's him at the door

You picture yourself

A star in the furthest sky

Escape from the mess

It's gone when you close your eyes

Silent Lucidity

Queensrÿche

Hush now don't cry

Wipe away the teardrop from your eye

You're lying safe in bed

It was all a bad dream

Spinning in your head

Your mind tricked you to feel the pain

Of someone close to you leaving the game of life

So here it is, another chance

Wide awake you face the day

Your dream is over

Or has it just begun?

There's a place I like to hide

A doorway that I run to in the night

Relax child, you were there

But only didn't realize it and you were scared

It's a place where you will learn

To face your fears, retrace the years

And ride the whims of your mind

Commanding in another world

Suddenly, you hear and see

This magic new dimension

I will be watching over you

I am gonna help you see it through

I will protect you in the night

I am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity

Visualize your dream

Record it in the present tense

Put it into a permanent form

If you persist in your efforts

You can achieve dream control

Dream control

How's that then, better?

Dream control

Dream control (hug me)

Dream control

Hug me

If you open your mind for me

You won't rely on open eyes to see

The walls you built within

Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin

Living twice at once you learn

You're safe from pain in the dream domain

A soul set free to fly

A round trip journey in your head

Master of illusion, can you realize

Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but

I will be watching over you

I am gonna help you see it through

I will protect you in the night

I am smiling next to you

"Bow down in position

Against the polished steel

This is something different

You'll like the way this feels

No time for asking question

No time for wondering

We've heard enough from you now

We've heard everything

We're going to play a new game

You'll put on this blindfold

You'll do what we tell you

You'll do as you're told

Used to be the leader

But now comes the time to serve

Maybe we show some mercy

Maybe you get what you deserve"

I prefer rust; once they are painted they all look the same.

Wingardium Leviosa. It was the first spell she learned and, as it turns out, is one of her best spells. At first she could barely lift anything, or everything would backfire. Now? Now she could pull a person up by their clothing or move an object from across the room. Still, this didn’t mean she didn’t have to practice.

“Wingardium Leviosa,” she said quietly to herself and smiled as her books and papers lifted up around her.

Great Potoo - Wild - At Pantanal - MT.

With its characteristic drawn-out moaning growl, the vocalizations of the Great Potoo are among the most exciting and perhaps most unsettling nocturnal sounds in the Neotropics. Apart from its vocalizations, the Great Potoo is an intriguing species. Great Potoos are nocturnal and feed on large flying insects, and occasionally bats, which they capture in sallies from a high perch. During the day, they remain motionless in mimic of broken tree branches. The Great Potoo is distributed throughout humid and semihumid forested habitats in Central and South America. Across this vast region, there is little geographic variation in size or in plumage; two subspecies sometimes are recognized, but these do not differ greatly from each other. Despite the lack of conspicuous geographic variation, populations on either side of the Andes have been found to be very distinct genetically. This level of divergence is similar to the genetic divergence found between other species of potoo, pointing the possibility for ‘cryptic’ species within the Great Potoo lineage. neotropical.birds.cornell.edu/Species-Account/nb/species/...

Come crawling faster (faster)

Obey your master (master)

Your life burns faster (faster)

Obey your master, master

Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings

Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams

Blinded by me, you can't see a thing

Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream

Master, master

Happy Birthday!

I loved his look and I love this shot. Thank you, Segue.

SCOUT: "Daddy? Daddy!"

DADDY: "Yes Scout?"

SCOUT: "Daddy, I want everyone to see the beautiful Little Red Riding Hood that I received as a Christmas gift from Father Christmas and the Christmas Bear this year!" *Preens.* "I look soooo pretty in it! Can you put my photograph on Looking Close on Friday? Please!"

DADDY: "But Scout, the theme for this week is red bows."

SCOUT: "Well, my new Little Red Riding Hood ties with a bow under my chin!" *Nods emphatically.* "See?" *Points to bow with paw.*

DADDY: "Hhhmmm... well, that is true, Scout, it does." *Doubtful.* "However, it's very small! The bow needs to be more of a focal point for the photograph."

SCOUT: "Oh I can fix that, Daddy!" *Smiles.* "Wait there!" *Rushes away before coming back with a big red bow tied under his chin.* "Now can you put my photograph on Looking Close on Friday, please Daddy?"

DADDY: "Goodness! Where did that ribbon come from?"

SCOUT: "It was one of the ones you collected from Christmas Day, yesterday. I think I look pretty!" *Preens more.* "Now, can you PLEASE put my photograph on Looking Close on Friday, Daddy, so that everyone can admire me?"

DADDY: "Alright Scout."

SCOUT: "Oh thank you, Daddy!" *Preens even more.* "I knew you would see it my way... eventually."

The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 26th of December is "red bow". My little bear Scout received this beautifully made Little Red Riding Hood cape from Father Christmas and the Christmas Bear for Christmas this year, and whilst Scout is correct, it does tie with a bow, the bow was very small, so being a master of dress-ups, Scout embellished his new cape with a lovely big red bow! I hope you like my choice for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!

Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.

Chuck-Will's-Widow (Antrostomus carolinensis)

Buffalo National River, Arkansas, U.S.A.

A Chuck-will's-widow roosts quietly on a tree branch, camouflaged by its cryptic plumage.

I was thrilled to find one of these birds while hiking along the bluffs above the Buffalo River. This nocturnal species is the largest nightjar species in North America and the only one I've ever seen. Unfortunately, it is currently classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN.

The spectacular Buffalo National River in northern Arkansas holds the distinction of being the first National River in the United States. Stretching 153 miles (246 km), it was officially protected on March 1, 1972, through an Act of Congress. This designation put an end to repeated efforts by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build dams along its course.

This came flying at me - about 2" long. It was eating the tiny wildflowers in my yard. Casa Grande, AZ. April 2020

This week the theme was old masters. I was looking through pictures by the old masters and chose dogs as topic. I was trying to emulate John Emms, I am not sure how successful I was. Moose wasn't thrilled about being up on the crate no matter how many treats were offered. He was finally persuaded up on the but then he wouldn't perk his ears. He still looks cute with his ears the way they are.

I was there because the model who was doing of Beauty is my daughter Laura ..... it was an amazing experience!!

Can I go off the path, find a breeze

Start with nothing, start a garden

She is silent, my head's silent finally
