The Frisian inscription on the cross says,
"Uun jesus as rau as an frees"
In English, this means, „In Jesus there is rest and peace.“
I am not religious in any way, but religious symbols often are a hell of a subject. 😈

These creatures are absolutely majestic. Those antlers jutting up like a wooden crown, the whole way they hold themselves... It's almost regal. You can tell, as he lays there, he knows he's in charge. I walked from nearly where that car in the background is to this new spot finding better framing opportunities, I wanted to actually capture this elk properly this time.
This is a second image of the one earlier, sans the distracting car in the background.

Happy Window Wednesday
Juvenile Peregrine Falcon rests on a Osprey nest at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Ref.uge in Galloway, NJ
After the busyness and slight mania of back to school, business trips away, birthdays and even finding missing relatives! I've tried to be more stranded boat this week, resting up and sticking to one spot as much as possible, fortunately for the boat I don't think it's been full of coughs, sneezes and sore throat like me!
I was walking one of the trails in Anchorage when I came upon this young bull moose who was laying down in the snow and chewing his cud while a light snow fell. You can see the antlers beginning to bud out above the eye. When around a moose you watch the ears for signs of stress. If they fold the ears back it means they are stressed and could then charge you. Most animal attacks in Alaska are caused by moose, so you have to be wary.

A fallow deer buck enjoying the sunshine at Charlecote Park, a National Trust property in Warwickshire
In the classic uni-pedal resting stance, where one leg is tucked into the feathers to retain warmth.
As a human I often wonder how they're comfortable doing this and that they don't topple over as they 'sleep'. Especially when their heads are also tucked into their feathers, unlike my image above.
Then I learned about USWS-- Unihemispheric Slow-Wave Sleep that many birds have. One half of their brain sleeps while the other half maintains consciousness and awareness of balance and danger to predators.
Amazing!
I have seen dragonflies fleeting about with my bad eyesight I don't bother trying to photograph them but I visited a walled garden recently and there was this beauty just resting on a flower I think Its a brown hawker correct me if I'm wrong and at last we have a burst of butterflies here to I was getting worried as our summer here hasn't been great I will post one next week..
As always thank you for your visits guys
Image taken in the afternoon at the Juifenalm (2022m a.s.l.). Lüsenstal, Sellrain, Tyrol, Austria 2014.
This dragonfly was captured from 2.3 feet away with my trusty 105mm macro lens and my Nikon D600 camera.
These Catmint plants are the gift that keeps on giving...
They are hardy, always making it through our Wisconsin winters, they fill out the area nicely, they produce thousands of tiny and long-lasting blossoms, and the insects love them.
What more could we ask for?
Enjoy :)
These moments of respite are so important to our ability to keep going. So many people run into burnout because they fail to realize this important necessity. This should not be as unfamiliar of a concept as it is, but here in the west we are so work driven, task oriented, and we are lured in by the opportunity to make another dollar and advance our social status. It may seem like wasted time to rest when we could instead be working, earning more money, going on more adventures, hanging out with more friends, and so the list could go on forever. Yet there is a reason that God ordained for there to be a day of rest once every week. He did not create us to just do work all of our lives, although work is certainly a part of what He created us to do. Moreover He created us to know Him, to spend time with Him, and to rightfully enjoy the many blessings that He has given us. My challenge to you is that if you recognize that you are not taking time to rest, do so. Do not fill this time with a whole laundry list of things to do, but rather sit and be with the Father and see what He teaches you and watch as He will refresh your soul in this time!
This Phoebe took a quick rest break from, hunting bugs in mid-air, and allowed us to capture this photo. We thought the lighting was just right. The Black Phoebe is a dapper flycatcher of the western U.S. with a sooty black body and crisp white belly. They sit in the open on low perches to scan for insects, often keeping up a running series of shrill chirps.
