2023 Photo 109/256: I saw this tiny doe drinking from a hillside spring as I was walking to the Blue Ridge Tunnel that runs under the mountain between Afton and Waynesboro, Va. The doe still had its winter coat and was obviously not a fawn, but she was so small that I wondered how it possibly could have made it through the winter. ©2023 John M. Hudson | jmhudson1.com
When a Black Bear (Ursus americanus) spots and/or smells potential food, it can become obsessed with getting it. Here a tiny cub, high up in the trees on a rainy morning, detects something in the crown of the dead tree. He just can't resist literally sticking his nose in it. In his quest for food, he seems to be stepping into oblivion, with no where to go and nothing to grip. However, his little claws actually found a hold on the branch. From the scratch marks on that branch, looks like he wasn't the first bear to venture forth up there.
For a time, many businesses in Wisconsin as well as many other places are closed for a time. A rail car sits under the designated delivery area to block any other trains from going through,
But is this really surprising? Can the mathematician who looks at the world mathematically find anything else but mathematics in the universe? Should not one rather ask him whether he has not himself at some time or other looked at the world in a way that is other than mathematical? Whether, for example, he has never seen an apple tree in blossom and wondered why the process of fertilization by the interplay between bees and tree is not effected otherwise than through the roundabout way of the blossom, thus including the completely superfluous wonder of beauty, which again, of course, can only be understood by cooperation, by relying on that which is already beautiful even without us?
... Yet the man who seeks a view of the whole will have to say: In the world we find present, without doubt, objective mathematics; but we also find equally present in the world unparalleled and unexplained wonders of beauty, or, to be more accurate, there are events that appear to the apprehending mind of man in the form of beauty, so that he is bound to say that the mathematician responsible for these events has displayed an unparalleled degree of creative imagination.

One of the Osprey that I saw last Sunday. This one was very obliging to sit on that branch while I got to a position not covered by branches! :)

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
No one wants to see God's beautiful creation behind a fence, in a cage; albeit protected from the wild poachers, but it can be a good thing if our animals are well cared for... still I know some will argue the point. I for one, am thankful to be able to at least get to meet these amazing creatures in a set setting, I talk with them and try to convey a sense of calm and crazy rationale and ask forgiveness for human's mistakes with creation. This female Snow Leopard is starting to recognize me when I come visiting. If you look a little into eyes, you can see my reflection...

my little airplant, last June, produced a spectacular flower and now, exactly one year on ... sure enough, the plant's a double. I'm not sure what the baby will do ... split off, or just carry on attached to mum.
Time will tell.

Many thanks for Achim's correction...it is not a lavender flower.

Emeraude de Chivor ink: To the fleeting glance the ink appears green. But under varied light and close observation, one finds great nuance with many colors, facets, and flecks of gold present all joining together to make One (word).

With the new greens of spring rapidly emerging, I'm sure it makes perfect sense to post an autumn image! Just going through my files for an upcoming project and thought I'd share one more of this beautiful waterfall.
Have a great weekend, everyone, and thanks for looking, your comments are much appreciated!
One of my favourite Christmas ornaments ... used to belong to my Mother in law. Will be back later to comment on your lovely photos:-)
One fifth of me was broken, and the rest was about to collapse. As small petals falling lightly and being carried by the winds.
Went out to the local woods with my camera earlier today, the light was good. Unfortunately, I didn't get anything worth publishing, but it felt good to put on my walking boots and wade through muddy puddles.
So here is an insect taken in our garden during the summer. Hopefully will have something new to post soon.
Hope you're all having a great weekend ❤️
I used a Topaz texture to obscure the unattractive structures around the truck.
Happy Truck Thursday!
