Hello everyone!
Have you seen Pooh Bear?
He is not in the Hundred Acre Wood
Smile on Saturday: La vie en rose
We do not always see what is before our face -
sometimes we see what we hope to see,
or fear we will see.
Quote - Jonathan Lockwood Huie
The question is what do you see ;-))
in the eyes of a cat I read a dumb question: why did you come?.in the wasteland the only stone that has heated up during the day and on it sits a nice cat..I am often asked why I like cats? A cat is a symbol of freedom and independence. They rarely show aggression. They are our doctors. They are just very, very cute:)

The elegant Great Egret is a dazzling sight in many a North American wetlands. Slightly smaller and more svelte than a Great Blue Heron, these are still large birds with impressive wingspans.
They hunt in classic heron fashion, standing immobile or wading through wetlands to capture fish with a deadly jab of their yellow bill.
Great Egrets were hunted nearly to extinction for their plumes in the late nineteenth century, sparking conservation movements and some of the first laws to protect birds. The Great Egret is the symbol of the National Audubon Society, one of the oldest environmental organizations in North America. Audubon was founded to protect birds from being killed for their feathers.
Not all young that hatch survive the nestling period. Aggression among nestlings is common and large chicks frequently kill their smaller siblings. This behavior, known as siblicide, is not uncommon among birds such as hawks, owls, and herons, and is often a result of poor breeding conditions in a given year.
Great Egrets fly slowly but powerfully: with just two wing-beats per second their cruising speed is around 25 miles an hour.
The oldest known Great Egret was 22 years, 10 months old and was banded in Ohio.

Who lived here? How many children peered out the windows? What led to the neglect and abandonment? And what is the story behind those chairs? I don’t expect to ever know the answers….

The tree, or not the tree, that is the question ...
Ёлка или не ёлка, вот в чём вопрос.

The two white marks on the left hind wing of the question mark butterfly really do resemble a question mark. The undersides of question mark butterfly's wings resemble dead leaves.

My attempt at the "Macro Mondays" theme "On Top"
According to the definition of this weeks theme there have to be two things, which "must be different kinds of things". That raises the question:
Is a raisin something different from a grape?
Is the chicken different from the egg?
Is anything even real? Is this philosophy?
(Okay, at least we know the answer to the last question is "NO, get lost!" 😂)

The rookery at Resoft consists of three small islands in a relatively small pond. Cattle Egrets (I'd estimate a thousand, maybe more) currently dominate the rookery. A Cattle Egret was photographed ensnared in monofilament (fishing line) hanging from a tree on one of the islands. This distressed bird came to the attention of the authorities who sent workers in boats to free the bird. This intervention (I'd never seen humans on any of the islands before) profoundly disturbed the nesting birds, which took to the air in flocks multiple times as the rescue operation progressed. This photo and the next were taken one tenth of a second apart. They document one of the disturbances. The question is: Is the life of one Cattle Egret worth the disruption to a rookery of a thousand birds? Let me know your opinion. Resoft County Park, Alvin, Texas.
This is a first for me. A Question Mark Butterfly. It was closed when I first saw it. I knew it was something I'd never seen before because of its shape. Then it opened its wings! Lovely!

Si guarda,
si gode,
si interroga su quello che chiamiamo bellezza o siamo come quei geni che con una pennellata si produce opere che non saranno mai guardate da nessuno!
We stop
We look
We enjoy
We question on what we call beauty, or are we like those genious who with a brush produces pieces of art that will never be taken into consideration by the passerby.
Have a great monday everyone, buon lunedi a tutti.
Oggi, 4 giugno, Giornata Internazionale per i bambini innocenti, vittime di aggressioni.
Fu istituita nel 1982 dall' Assemblea generale delle Nazioni Unite durante un seminario speciale sulla questione della Palestina (!) , nel corso della quale emerse in tutta la sua drammaticità il numero di vittime della violenza bellica.
Ricordiamo in questo giorno gli enormi danni e sofferenze causati ai bambini attraverso le varie forme di violenza, in tutto il mondo, per promuovere una cultura di pace, per il rispetto dei diritti umani.
I bambini sono le vere vittime, le più innocenti ed indifese dei vari abusi non solo fisici, ma anche mentali ed emotivi. Abusi nella famiglia innanzitutto.
I bambini, i giovani, sono anche i grandi dimenticati dalla società, che si ricorda di loro spesso per trarne un profitto economico o sfruttarli, nei Paesi più poveri.
E poi la guerra... Enorme sofferenza che li priva, oltre che della vita, di un futuro, degli affetti, dei loro diritti. Guerra che talvolta è camuffata col nome di pace o in nome di un presunto progresso.
'... Abolire la guerra è l' unica speranza per l'uomo...'
( Discorso di Gino Strada, per la consegna del 'Right Livelihood Award nel 2015).
Molte sono le Giornate mondiali contro la violenza, a favore dei bambini, ma sembra che nulla cambi.
Sono già 261 i bambini uccisi dalla guerra
in Ucraina, e ogni giorno 2 bambini muoiono sotto i bombardamenti, e circa 4 sono feriti.
Circa 15.000 I bambini morti in Afghanistan da inizio anno per malnutrizione e stenti.
Ci sarebbero tanti altri dati da cercare. Bambini morti nelle varie guerre, bambini affogati in acqua o uccisi dal freddo alle frontiere....
Bambini soldato che non sono più bambini...
Loro ci guardano.
They are looking at us
International Day for innocent children, victims of aggression
A lot of questions have been asked. And just a few answers. The answer may has been said, but we didn't realize it. Watch carefuly for it, it may come from the most unlikely place, from the light or from the shadow. Or be ignorant and just don't ask. It makes your life easier, but...

♥ Information making me question
Our relation to the nation

My existence, you can't resist us
Clearly, I find myself living inside a shelf
All of these pages can't help
Got all my introspect, mirrors, they don't reflect
All of the things that we do...♥

That was the question I was asked because I was using my long lens on a popular trail. If I am using such a big piece of equipment, surely I see something interesting off in the distance. They didn't know how to react to my response - "A mountain bluebird in that dead tree".
People generally don't go to Yellowstone for the birds and they certainly don't do so when walking to the lookout for the Grand Prismatic Spring. But being from the east, I couldn't pass on the opportunity to catch an image of these lovely birds, especially if I got lucky to get one to land in the pine tree with orange-red needles.
Is it interesting or is it ugly or is it both ... or something else?
My friend moved from a place with an amazing seaside view to a cute little cottage in suburban Wellington. Towering over his lovely garden is this beast of a building.
Steve is such an amazing positive dude and he loves his new abode. I'm not sure what he thinks of this behemoth but I'm sure he would see the beauty in it. What absolutely astounds me is that an architect would put big concrete walls with few windows on a pretty much north facing wall. I think they used to call it progress, not sure what they call it now!
I do like the of agapanthus flowers that line the fence however they're considered a pest in New Zealand as they grow so prolifically and drown out any natives that are generally slower growing.
Have a wonderful weekend my dear flickr friends :)
