Peripherally flitting by,
I caught a glimpse of something bright,
a shimmer like the stars at night,
a dancing, daring damselfly.
She swooped above me in an arc,
and came to rest right on my shoulder;
what a vision, to behold her
eyes so large and dark.
She was there to speak in whisper-
She lingered with me sping and summer,
while I tried hard to become her
friend; she left. And now I miss her.
Parque nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido, Sobrarbe, Huesca, Aragón, España.
El parque nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido (en aragonés Parque nacional d'Ordesa y d'as Tres Serols) está ubicado en el Pirineo oscense, íntegramente en la comarca del Sobrarbe, Aragón (España). Se reparte entre los términos municipales de Broto, Bielsa, Fanlo, Puértolas, Tella-Sin y Torla-Ordesa. Recibe una media de más de 600 000 visitantes al año.
Su superficie ocupa 15 608 ha y la zona de protección periférica cuenta con 19 679 ha. Su altitud oscila entre los 700 m s. n. m. en el río Bellós y los 3348 m s. n. m. del Monte Perdido.5
Es el segundo parque nacional más antiguo de España tras ser declarado el 16 de agosto de 1918 mediante el Real Decreto 16-08-1918 con el nombre de «Valle de Ordesa». Con 598 950 visitantes anualmente (2015), el parque nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido es el séptimo parque nacional de España en número de visitantes. El 13 de julio de 1982 se amplió y se reclasificó bajo el nombre actual.
Actualmente goza de diferentes figuras de protección aparte de la de parque nacional, en 1977 se declaró Reserva de la Biosfera, en 1988 Zona de Especial Protección para las Aves y en 1997 Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco. Es también Lugar de Importancia Comunitaria.

I haven't done a guessing game for a long time, so here goes. I was trying to shoot this "thing" and couldn't get the focus I wanted, so I thought I'd embrace the blur. The colours should tell you something, but I'm betting no one will guess what it is. I had to say that :) Any ideas?
Here's the reveal.... I hope it's not too confusing, as it's not something most of us see every day. It's a ribbon cable, used for electronics. It has tiny pins on each end and many parallel wires (in the rainbow colours) in the same flat plane. When I see all the little electronic doodads on my hubby's desk, I have to photograph them :)
Shot with macro lens and 32mm extension tube.
Annäherungsversuch. Aber von welcher Seite bloß?

The snout of this creature looks really fluffy ... but is it ultimately rather scratchy, crispy, hard? Like a beard? In any case, it was buried in the snow for a long time – as I could see – and so I couldn't help but pick a few stalks and serve them :-) We didn't get much closer then.
///
Die Schnute dieser Kreatur sieht ja ganz flauschig aus ... aber ist sie vielleicht letztendlich eher kratzig, knusprig, hart? So wie ein Bart? Jedenfalls wurde sie lange im Schnee vergraben – wie ich beobachten konnte – und so konnte ich es nicht lassen und habe ein paar Halme gepflückt und sie kredenzt :-) Viel näher sind wir uns dann doch nicht gekommen.

First in a series i have been meaning to make for a while now:-)
The series is inspired by the mysterious movements and presences seen in one's peripheral vision sometimes.

Woke up before dawn and this unexpected scene came into my sleepy peripheral. Realizing it is going to fade away soon, I scrambled for my camera and had this captured after several failed attempts.

À l’Ouest du Temps - La forêt de Fangorn *
« Les aventures fantastiques ont rarement une fin. Il y a toujours quelqu’un pour en comprendre les fondements et continuer le récit » (Un sage)
__________
Je suis retourné à l’Ouest du Temps, là où tout a commencé, à l’orée de la forêt de Fangorn.
Des arbres sombres portant de magnifiques fleurs blanches étendaient leurs longues branches, comme pour marquer, d’un geste de bienvenue, le passage vers les profondeurs de la forêt. Ils auraient pu être de lointains ancêtres de nos pommiers, mais, selon l’histoire locale, ils appartenaient à la civilisation des Ents, la plus vieille de la Terre du Milieu. Ces arbres étaient dotés, croyait-on, d’une forme de « conscience » et d’une mémoire collective remontant aux origines. On racontait qu’ils étaient capables de communiquer entre-eux et avec d’autres espèces et même d’agir ensemble dans l’intérêt commun…
Soudainement, je fus submergé par une marée d’impressions insistantes: de la curiosité, une extrême vigilance, l’écho lointain de zones d’ombres, de blessures béantes au coeur des arbres. Puis, un bruissement soutenu des feuilles me figea sur place avec appréhension. Et, d’une manière que je ne saurais expliquer, j’en compris le sens: « Prend garde en traversant la forêt. Fait preuve de respect envers nous. Et nous t’aideront à trouver le courage d’affronter les mystères et les dangers auxquels tu devras faire face dans le Monde.» (Patrice le Hobbit)
____________
À l’Est du Temps, le rationalisme moderne a relégué, les récits, les contes, les légendes anciennes y compris les écrits de Tolkien et de bien d’autres grands auteurs, aux domaines de l’imaginaire, de la spiritualité, de la magie pure, du folklore et du divertissement. Comme si, rien de ces écrits n’avait une quelconque résonance avec des savoirs utiles tirés de l’expérience humaine…
Or, des découvertes récentes en neurobiologie, en biologie végétale et en écologie appliquée aux arbres et aux forêts tendent à donner un fondement scientifique à plusieurs mythes anciens à leur sujet: les arbres sont des entités sociales et conscientes, capables d’apprendre, d’interagir et d’évoluer. **
Ce que les Anciens savaient, mais qu’ils ne pouvaient pas exprimer par des mots, plutôt avec des images métaphoriques et poétiques, comme Tolkien - deviennent maintenant un champ de recherche scientifique moderne, périphérique certes, mais courageux et prometteur.

West of Time: Fangorn Forest *
“Fantasy adventures rarely have an end. There is always someone to understand their foundations and continue the story” (A wise man)
__________
I have returned to the West of Time, where it all began, at the edge of Fangorn Forest.
Dark trees bearing magnificent white flowers stretched out their long branches, as if to mark, with a welcoming gesture, the passage to the depths of the forest. They might have been distant ancestors of our apple trees, but according to local history they belonged to the Ent civilization, the oldest in Middle-earth. These trees were believed to be endowed with a form of “consciousness” and a collective memory going back to the origins. They were said to be able to communicate with each other and with other species and even to act together in the common interest...
Suddenly, I was overwhelmed by a tide of persistent impressions: curiosity, extreme vigilance, the distant echo of shadowy areas, gaping wounds in the heart of the trees. Then, a steady rustle of leaves froze me in place with apprehension. And, in a way that I cannot explain, I understood the meaning: “Be careful while crossing the forest. Show us respect. And we will help you find the courage to face the mysteries and dangers you will face in the World. (Patrice the Hobbit)
____________
In the East of Time, modern Rationalism has relegated stories, tales, ancient legends including the writings of Tolkien and many other great authors, to the domains of the imagination, spirituality, pure magic, folklore and entertainment. As is, none of these writings had any resonance with useful knowledge drawn from human experience...
However, recent discoveries in neurobiology, plant biology and ecology applied to trees and forests tend to give a scientific basis to several old myths about them: trees are social and conscious entities, capable of learning, interacting and advancing. **
What the elders knew, but could not express in words, rather in metaphorical and poetic imagery, like Tolkien - now becomes a field of modern scientific research, peripheral indeed, but courageous and promising.

He tries not to move for fear of being seen or caught. He turns his ears to the rear to pick up any sound and the eyes bulge to have better peripheral vision. I shoot....but always only with my camera. We safely go our separate ways.
