Qui dit études dit travail,
Qui dit taf te dit les thunes,
Qui dit argent dit dépenses,
Et qui dit crédit dit créance,
Qui dit dette te dit huissier,
Et lui dit assis dans la merde.
Qui dit Amour dit les gosses,
Dit toujours et dit divorce.
Qui dit proches te dit deuils
car les problèmes ne viennent pas seuls.
Qui dit crise te dit monde
dit famine et dit tiers-monde.
Qui dit fatigue dit réveil
encore sourd de la veille,
Alors on sort pour oublier tous les problèmes.
Alors on danse...
Et là tu t'dis que c'est fini
car pire que ça ce serait la mort.
Quand tu crois enfin que tu t'en sors
quand y en a plus et ben y en a encore !
Est-ce la zique ou des problèmes,
les problèmes ou bien la musique ?
Ça t'prend les tripes ça te prend la tête
et puis tu pries pour que ça s'arrête.
Mais c'est ton corps, c'est pas le ciel
alors tu t'bouches plus les oreilles.
Et là tu cries encore plus fort et ça persiste...
Alors on chante
Lalalalalala, Lalalalalala,
Alors on chante
Lalalalalala, Lalalalalala
Alors on chante
Et puis seulement quand c'est fini, alors on danse.
Alors on danse
Eh ben y en a encore
Bonjour mes amis de Flickr!
comme j'ai eu des problèmes de connexions étant arrivé presque à la limite des 1000 photos je vous rejoins sur un autre compte.Je vous envoie toutes mes amitiés en attendant de vous retrouver
El problema es que cuando uno está explicando algo al público o a un alumno, hay la tendencia a plantear la situación de la siguiente manera “yo tengo la clave, tú no la tienes. Ahora te la revelo, tú la apuntas, te la llevas a casa; y ya hemos resuelto nuestra relación”. Todos quedamos contentos. Esto no es así. Pensemos, por ejemplo, en el campo de la filosofía –en otros campos, en materias mucho más concretas y perfiladas, probablemente, uno puede aprender realmente cosas cerradas. Los filósofos, desde Kant, sabemos que sólo podemos enseñar a filosofar. No se puede enseñar filosofía en el sentido de decir: “tome, llévese este libro, apréndaselo de memoria, vuelva mañana y será filósofo”. Se puede enseñar a filosofar diciendo: “miren cómo lo hago yo y háganlo ustedes”.

Sorry I have been absent a bit with a neck problem. Do you sometimes feel at a stalemate with your photos? I am having a real down time with not liking anything I shoot right now. I feel a bit like this lonely maple leaf I caught in the back light tonight right before sundown. I missed all of the cedar waxwings who landed way too high and flew away and just gave up:) The butterflies also refuse to come down from treetop level.
There are a few different Baubles here. Oh the problems that they can create.
Happy Smile on Saturday

Finally! A sunny, winter day with lovely fresh snow. We received about a foot of snow last night and so we headed out to get some photos before the wind knocked all the snow off. The temperature was -13C, but with the wind it was more like -25C. A bit crisp, but the sun made it all good.
Driving through the snow, the car smoothed and compacted the snow between the wheel ruts, but we had no problems. Snow tires and AWD make a big difference.

Analogica, Zenit TTL ( 1977 ) con esposimetro guasto, Zeiss Tessar 50 mm 2.8 F, kodak color 200 asa, sviluppo con Tetenal. Mi scuso con gli amici di Flickr ma oggi sono stato quasi tutto il giorno senza Internet per problemi di connessione
Depressingly, my DJI Mavic mini is terrible in low light. No problem though. just crank up the grain and make it look like a Monet painting.
This is an image I likely wouldn't have posted, but after an interesting conversation with Flickr friend Flaushi & Friends on a swan she captured out on the ocean, I decided to share.
I had heard there was an owl at the lake not too far from work, so I decided to take a second trip (first trip was unsuccessful) after my shift to look for her. My daughter and faithful Border Collie, Bandit came along on the adventure.
After looking for a short time I spotted her out on the docks and walked around the shore trying to find a half decent angle to photograph her. In the meantime, a pair of mute swans swam over to see if we had brought them any goodies. I ignored them at first, since the owl had my full attention, but one of the two was quite persistent. He (or she) came right up to shore, stood up tall and was almost beak to nose with Bandit. Bandit was quite entertained and went into his usual OCD dance bouncing up and down on his hind legs and licking the ice at his feet. The swan wasn't at all phased and stretched out his long neck with an expectant look on his face. When he finally decided I had nothing for him, he swiftly ruffled his feathers and turned away from me. This was captured as he swam away glancing back with a look of disgust at my insensitivity for showing up empty handed.

Busca dentro de ti la solución de todos los problemas,
hasta de aquellos que creas más exteriores y materiales.
Dentro de ti está siempre el secreto; dentro de ti están
todos los secretos.
Aun para abrirte camino en la selva virgen,
aun para levantar un muro, aun para tender un puente,
has de buscar antes, en ti, el secreto.
Dentro de ti hay tendidos ya todos los puentes
Están cortadas dentro de ti las malezas y lianas que
cierran los caminos.
Y sabrás lo esencial de todos los problemas,
y se te enseñará la mejor de todas las fórmulas,
y se te dará la más sólida de las herramientas.
Y acertarás constantemente,
pues que dentro de ti
llevas la luz misteriosa de todos los secretos".

Dawn is breaking and the temperature is around freezing point as the 6S45 07.25 departure to Fort William service eases slowly along the North Blyth branch observed by shunter Mike.
Problems overnight with loading process meant that the load was less than half its usual number of wagons.
It is a real problem, is it not? How can we come to an understanding of this utterly diverse and complicated world whilst sitting in the particularity of our home? It is true that the media, from newspapers to TV and social media, offer us a daily digest of selected information. We would, I sincerely hope, critically examine these news and think for ourselves. However, even so, we would have to deal with the selective nature of the information. We never see "the whole picture". Our knowledge, even at the best of times, is necessarily fragmentary. It is absolutely important to be aware of this limitation - it is one of the virtues that make us human.
I am saying this because AI is on the march. AI has never ever left its ivory tower, it never "left home". It never made any experiences. AI has not seen anything. It does not know how to suffer. What it does is to harvest and (often illegally) exploit printed or published materials, information it has neither created nor even collected. It does not know what it does not know. And yet AI will come up with explanations and scenarios that are untroubled by any kind of self-doubt. AI does not know when it is peddling false information. AI will interpret the world whilst staying at its "home" and will not even be aware of it. Leica M8 plus Voigtlaender 35/1.4 at approx. F8.

En el 50ª aniversario del Día Internacional de la Madre Tierra quiero efectuar mi homenaje a esta fecha y en tiempo de Coronavirus.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
El Día de la Tierra (oficialmente Día Internacional de la Madre Tierra ) es un día celebrado en muchos países el 11 de abril y en algunos otros el 22 de abril. Su promotor, el senador estadounidense Gaylord Nelson, instauró este día para crear una conciencia común a los problemas de la sobrepoblación, la producción de contaminación, la conservación de la biodiversidad y otras preocupaciones ambientales para proteger la Tierra.
Es un día para rendir homenaje a nuestro planeta y reconocer a la Tierra como nuestro hogar y nuestra madre, así como lo han expresado distintas culturas a lo largo de la historia, demostrando la interdependencia entre sus muchos ecosistemas y los seres vivos que la habitamos.

(There's a problem with this one not showing on the Flickr feed - again! Thought they had solved it but apparently its back)
These tiny blue beauties really are very small, similar to, but smaller than forget-me-nots.
It's a very interesting plant the Brunnera, grown mainly for its exotic ground cover, almost succulent foliage. It has.largish, ornate leaves and wehn they begin to show again after winter it also sends out these lovely little flowers. This variety is called 'Jack Frost' .
I'll paste a photo of the foliage in the comments below so you can see......
Do not be stuck in the past, that is over.
Do not get stressed from the future, it’s not that far.
Live now and enjoy ❤

The recent wildfires in northern Portugal got relatively little coverage in the UK but were a tragedy for the country, not least because lives were lost.
While Porto was not in imminent danger, the drifting smoke from fires several miles away to the east did make for an uncomfortable experience where you could literally taste the burning wood in the air. This shot, taken at 9.30am and capturing the orange hue in the atmosphere, is straight from the phone camera without any processing other than adding a frame.
Thirty minutes later, after checking the satellite images with our Tour Agent, we set off on a 6 day ride down towards Lisbon. I can't say the first day was anything other than a tad uncomfortable - but nowhere near as challenging as it was for the firefighting teams at the heart of things gradually getting on top of the problem. Obrigado aos bravos bombeiros.

European hornet (Vespa crabro), 10-2022, Ticino, Switzerland
If you're interested, you can find my best photos of the WILDLIFE IN TICINO, SWITZERLAND here: fr.lacerta-bilineata.com/l%C3%A9zard-vert-occidental-lace...
THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTO:
I guess you can tell by the look on its face that this is not a happy hornet. That's not unusual for hornets - truth be told, variations of "not happy" "angry", or at least "badly irritated" seem to be pretty much their natural state of mind - but what's interesting about the fella above is that he also wasn't exactly sober.
To spell it out more clearly: that was one hammered hornet. It was so drunk in fact, it couldn't fly for two seconds straight without crashing. I shot that photo in my garden last fall, but as with all my pictures, I'll try to give you a bit more context.
Every year at least one hornet queen decides that some crack or hole inside the thick stone walls of my 400-year old house in Ticino is the perfect place to raise her royal family.
That in itself wouldn't pose a problem, but if there's one thing we know about "royals", it's that they're a complicated bunch (though it has to be said for both princes William and Harry that they rarely build little palaces inside the walls of some stranger's house, but I digress).
There is a slight potential for conflict; in my experience, all hornets are born with a sweet tooth and a bad temper, and particularly when there's ripe figs in my garden, tensions can rise.
That is entirely my fault though, because I still sometimes foolishly try to negotiate the human place in the food- (or rather: fruit-) chain, despite knowing perfectly well that fig season isn't the time to want to improve human-hornet relations, as any attempt in that regard will inevitably follow the same frustrating pattern:
Human: "Oh hello there Ms Hornet, how nice to meet you here at the fig tree - isn't the weather just lovely?"
Hornet: "Bzzzzzz. I have a sting. Bzzzzz. Go away. Bzzzzz."
Human: "There is really no need to be so angry, dear Ms Hornet: we're all friends here, and there's enough figs for all of us! How are the kids, I mean... larvae?"
Hornet: "Bzzzzzz. I have a sting. Bzzzzz. Go away. Bzzzzz."
Human: "Jeez, OK - relax! I can see you have a sting, I'm going, all right? You can have all the figs Ms Hornet, see: I'm already leaving!"
Hornet: "Bzzzzz. Yes, I have a sting. Bzzzzz. Don't come back. Bzzzzz."
And that's how THAT conversation goes.
Yet despite our occasional differences (like when I nearly died of smoke inhalation because Her Royal Hornet Majesty had decided my chimney was another suitable place for her nest), I'm happy to report we generally get along quite well, unless... - well, unless the hornets are intoxicated.
It's one of nature's lesser known facts (or perhaps its dirty secret) that many of our friends in the animal kingdom occasionally like to get high, and hornets are no exception. Not on anything illegal, mind; they are law-abiding insects after all, so you won't see them smoke crack or snort cocaine (although with some hornets I wouldn't rule that out completely 😉).
No: their usual drug of choice is alcohol, which my irritable neighbors find - surprise! - in my fig tree. Once some of the overripe fruit start to ferment, their potent juices become a magnet for hornets - and that's when the trouble starts.
It should come as no surprise that "hornets and hooch" are an inherently problematic combination. Because the crux with alcohol is this: it doesn't alter your personality, it only brings out the character traits that are already there without a filter, so you just become a terribly unrestrained version of yourself when you drink too much.
Which with hornets - who aren't the most cheerful bunch even on a good day - is a recipe for disaster. They are MEAN drunks - and I'm not kidding, oh boy. All that bottled-up anger constantly boiling underneath that shiny, chitin surface from the moment they hatch is finally released into the world, and it's not a pleasant sight, let me tell you.
Alcohol REALLY doesn't seem to improve their mood, and the other animals in my garden all agree (and I concur) that the fig tree would be a much happier place if the hornets just smoked weed and listened to Bob Marley instead (if them getting high can't be avoided altogether).
To be fair though, not all hornets have a drinking problem. Most of them behave responsibly and "don't drink and fly" (which I'm sure is a motto that gets taught in hornet school from an early age). And they don't get high all year long: It's only when fall arrives that the hornets like to have a merry get-together in my fig tree to get a good "buzz on".
But you know how it is: just like with any good party, there's always the ONE guy who can't hold his liquor and basically turns into your angry, drunk uncle at Christmas who starts picking fights with every one at the dinner table and insists on letting you know - very loudly - what he thinks about Trump or Biden or the Corona virus once he's had one too many.
Which finally brings me back to the fella in the photo above, because apparently he was THAT guy. That particular "drunk uncle" hornet sat underneath the fig tree on a fallen (and pretty rotten looking) fruit and was deep into its cups. As soon as it saw me, it started to buzz angrily and seemed intent on a confrontation, but it didn't manage to get airborne for more than a second.
After a few more failed attempts to lift off and a few more angry "Bzzzzzz" sounds (I think I actually did hear the words "Trump", "Biden" and "Corona" in there 😉), it just went back to boozing on the juices of the spoiled fig on the ground.
I left it to its own devices, happy that I got this quite expressive shot. 😊
P.S. I think it was actually a crazy, drunk AUNT - not an uncle 😉)
P.P.S. Just to make sure we understand each other (maybe as a disclaimer for readers who come to this gallery for the first time and aren't familiar with my kind of humor): I love the fact that these beautiful insects visit my garden. Watching how these efficient predators hunt wasps, horseflies or other insects is incredibly fascinating (adult hornets themselves mainly feed on sugary plant juices, but they hunt because their young need protein to grow).
Hornets may seem like they're constantly angry (which to me is funny - hence this text), but they're not; they're actually very peaceful towards humans, and even when you compete for a ripe fig with them, their furious buzzing is mostly just a bluff, and I've never been stung (and I don't know anyone who has).
Due to the unfounded fear many people have of hornets, who often get exterminated because they're confused with common wasps, this species is threatened in many countries (in Germany for example, hornets are a protected species). But unless you step (or sit) on them or destroy their nest, hornets don't attack, and even when they're drunk, they are usually so incapacitated that they are completely harmless (just like your uncle/aunt 😉).
So if you have hornets in your garden, just enjoy watching them and please don't harm them! 🙏 🙏 ❤ ❤
With that being said, I hope you like the photo and wish you all a wonderful weekend! Many greetings from Switzerland, and as always: let me know what you think in the comments 🙏 😊 ❤!
