We made an early morning visit to Biscuit Basin in Yellowstone National Park. Lots of fencing along the boardwalk there to keep the curious from stepping off the walkway and falling through the crust into the scalding water.
Happy Fence Friday!

Since the advent of eyewear, round sunglasses have been a reliable standby. From John Lennon’s signature frames to the oversized silhouettes worn by celebrities in the early 2000s, the round sunglasses type is at once versatile and timeless. Perfect for the wearer with a square face shape, round sunglasses can feature a split frame, added accents around the rims, or any other number of design details for added interest. Impart throwback appeal to your wardrobe wearing this popular sunglasses type.

"Vineyard cabanons take us back to the time when country people didn't own any tractors or cars and spent whole days working in the vineyard. The cabanons were places where they could rest and find shelter in case of bad weather. The fireplace brought a little warmth and comfort. It was also the place to have lunch - the fireplace could then be used to heat up the meal prepared at home and brought to the fields. And finally they were used as storage places, where tools were left in the evening, before going back home. The larger ones sometimes have an attic and/or a cellar. They often have two rooms: one for men, the other for the horse, a precious assistant to the winegrower for his work in the vineyard. He too was sheltered in case of bad weather, and the room also allowed to store his food. We can say that vineyard cabanons were social markers: the more money people had, the bigger the cabanon they built and the more decorated it was (cornices, wooden laces, friezes, freestone door and window lintels, sundials...)"
This part of the beach has a shingle incline protecting a large water pond. It's at White Point Beach, Nova Scotia. I was attracted to the striking cloud formations and the dead trees. Processed with Nik Silver Efex.

You're a boy and i'm a girl
But you know you can lean on me
And I don't have no fear
I'll take on any man here
Who says that's not the way it should be
And I've leaned on me for years
Now you can lean on me
And that's more than love, that's the way it should be
Now I can't change the way you feel
But I can put my arms around you
That's just part of the deal
That's the way I feel
I'll put my arms around you
The Thurisaz rune (ᚦ) represents the ability to confront obstacles, the strength to endure adversity, and the protection of mighty forces. Like the thorn it symbolizes, this rune reminds you that true strength lies not just in attack, but in defense and resilience. It suggests that you have the inner fortitude to face any challenge that stands in your way, urging you to stand firm and embrace your power.
Thurisaz is a rune of both conflict and transformation, showing that through struggle, growth is achieved. It calls on you to harness your inner strength wisely, channeling your energy to break through barriers and drive positive change. More than just a force of destruction, Thurisaz is a guardian—its presence in your path signifies that you are not alone, as unseen forces shield and guide you. Whether in battle, personal trials, or major life transitions, this rune is a reminder that your resilience is your greatest weapon, and through perseverance, victory is within reach.
"Thurisaz is the force that breaks and the strength that endures—embrace the storm, for it forges the warrior within."

Many people live in their own little world and ignore the big problems like climate protection, war and social injustice!

When I got up close to him I saw that he had a nut that he was keeping really close. He wasn't going to let that one get away.
// A tiny wren seeks refuge in a cave from the drama outside. The waterfall pleased with a guest puts on a show. The wren enamoured by it all stays a while longer.
I often feel like this. Wanting refuge away from the chaos outside. With all the crazy Covid stuff; what a time to be a bird.

Early spring, 2024: mating season for aquatic newts on my NC property. This male is swimming beneath the female to both display himself and put his nose in the appropriate spot to assess readiness.
A few moments later, the male grabbed the female from behind. They curled into a spinning ball as he wrestled her to the bottom and then deposited his sperm package on a leaf for his partner to uptake through an opening called a cloaca, leading to her sex organ.
Though not a very romantic union, the birthing process is surprisingly tender. The female lays 2 or 3 eggs per day, gently nestling them in floating plant roots for protection. Hatchlings remain there until ready to venture forth.

about 4 weeks ago, I had a dream that I was on a beach, that I had created a protective salt circle and was preparing to stand in the middle of it and create a self-portrait. this past week, while we were in Brittany, I had the chance to make the photo that I had actually dreamed about. it's always a gift when the unconscious speaks to us so loudly and clearly. in a world that doesn't always feel so safe, we all need to feel protected. the idea that the salt that protects me here came from the sea, whose tides were constantly lapping the shore behind me, seemed so poetic. eventually the sea will reclaim the salt. everything comes full circle in the end.
Protection, present and past, in the form of moorings for the fishing boats protected by the harbour wall from bad weather and the remains of a castle on the hilltop that once provided security against unwelcome human attention. The new and old lifeboat stations show a history of protection for the fishermen that is able to extend out to sea when needed.
This town of Tenby (Welsh: Dinbych-y-pysgod, meaning fortlet of the fish) is situated in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park on the western side of Carmarthen Bay, in West Wales.
