After a period harassed by the wind and the furious waves, the rocks have succumbed to their wear and tear, giving rise to this natural beauty that looks more like a hand raised from the water, offering an offering to Mother Nature to ask for calm, calm, before the unstoppable invested climatology ...

 

Despues de un periodo hostigado por el viento y las olas enfurecidas, las rocas han sucumbido a su desgaste dando lugar a esta belleza natural y que mas bien parece una mano alzada del agua, ofreciendo una ofrenda a la madre naturaleza para pedirle sosiego, calma , ante la imparable investida climatologica...

Psalm 20

The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

 

2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

 

3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.

 

4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

 

5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.

 

6 Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

 

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

 

8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

 

9 Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.

 

Psl 21

Common Tern

 

We got to see lots of this yesterday. The really strange thing, none of the males actually gave the offerings to the mates or possible mates.

Not big enough or too big????

Cross water offerings tradition

Daily offering of flowers, sake and rice at a small shrine within Gyogan-ji temple, Kyoto. Hasselblad X1D.

The Devils blood

The curse of salvation

The odious essence

Of His holy revelation

It floats from the garden of eden

In malevolent grace

The Devil's blood

Through the pentagram's maze

Goodbye to a wonderful roleplay sim - and the awesome work of Kora Zenovka and Baal Zobel - the sim will be gone in middle of June. As much as I know KOS will remain a bit longer.

Autumn Offering

 

“I shall be Autumn

this Halloween,

with leaf draped skirt,

and folds of

boysenberry velvet wine

flowing to the ground.

 

Brown stained face,

eyes rimmed in gold,

nails dripping sunset,

a crown of twigs

to cover my head.

 

You may gather from me

the spring of my youth,

my summer of maturity,

and hold onto with me,

the solace of these days

of remembering

before the frost.”

 

— Judith A. Lawrence, editor/publisher of River Poets Journal

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIEWS, COMMENT, FAVE AND INVITES. I APPRECIATE IT! ♥️

Prayer at Mt. Victoria

This was taken at the temple at the Nirvana Memorial Gardens. These fruit and the cupcakes (a kind of bread) are commonly offered to the temple guardian known as "Tuah Pek Kong"

The maple leaf never fails to deliver- falling to rest in places that invite and please the eye.

Unfortunately I couldn't find the plaque with the name of this striking sculpture author - neither on site no on the Internet. My French is probably not good enough for that. But I'd like to know... what are these offerings, what is the story?

Pulling up an old image that has been sitting around - this was taken at the Meskwaki Settlement Tama Pow-wow in Iowa a couple years ago. He was offering up prayers following a ceremony for their fellow Indian Veterans.

A Pair of Great Pied Hornbill (Buceros bicornis) was engaged in a love ritual act with passion filled in their eyes. The left side bird with the reddish eyes was the male offering ripe ficus fruits to the female on the left which has a lighter whitish eye. The act of offering and counter offering lasted for a minute and eventually the female consumed the fruit with passion. The background may not be very smooth but in their natural habitat and deep inside a forest. Pics was taken from Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, West Bengal, India.

These common, daily offerings to both good and evil spirits are called "canang sari" by the Balinese. They are handmade works of art in their own right and can also be seen on the altar of the shrine I posted earlier. This time, I took a whole series of photos featuring them in various places. The materials, herbs, flowers, food and money in each offering have much religious symbolism and purpose; for further reading : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canang_sari

A Royal Tern with an offering in its beak. More on the offering and related antics to follow.

  

I have over 100 folders of unprocessed photos from the past 6 years which I’m currently going through, this is one of the photos from that group. Many of these re-visit an already posted subject. I've finished folder 13 - that had 1428 photos! This photo was in the second 1/3 of that folder. I'm on Folder 14 which has far less photos.

 

This was likely the best chase I ever had on BC Rail in terms of clear blue sky and length of the chase, unfortunately it came about one summer late for the MLWs!

 

If I remember correctly this overpass was a new addition having just been completed, offering some elevation which allows you to see some of The Chasm off to the right.
