Not really in relation to these twins here (the reservoir of hope is actually softly diminishing), but with regard to the lens which I got this morning. I had heard of the Samyang 135mm F2 manual lens and its optical qualities. This is one of the first images (done with a tripod, wide-open). Getting the focus right is the issue with this lens, but if you do the results are really promising. I do have excellent Fuji AF lenses and some manual focus lenses that allow me to create a more artistic impression. The Samyang 135mm certainly belongs into this category.
This isn't the best GBH picture, but its interesting in relation to the span of this ancient, beautiful tree. I'm not sure if its a Sitka spruce, Hemlock or Cedar.
Force of Nature by Ts’msyen artist Phil Gray on the side of the Douglas Reynolds Gallery, South Granville Street in Vancouver.
The work, sponsored by the gallery, was painted for the 2021 Vancouver Mural Festival (VMF).
Artist Statement:
“The story of Salmon Woman tells how this supernatural woman brought salmon to Raven.
After Raven’s many travels, he was worn down and tattered. He met and married Salmon Woman who healed him and cleaned him up.
While he was searching for food, she touched the water and hundreds of salmon appeared for him to feast on.
Although she saved him and nursed him back to health, he took her for granted and treated her terribly. In the end, Salmon Woman became fed up and took everything with her when she left him, leaving him as desolate as before.
This design is a commentary about how colonialism has negatively affected the way we treat women, LGBTQ+, and the environment.
Although women are life givers and interconnected with the environment, heteropatriarchy forced a shift in our morals and responsibilities in relation to them.
This representation of Salmon Woman with all the colours of the rainbow is a reminder that until women and LGBTQ+ are valued, respected, and reinstated back into their traditional roles and responsibilities our communities will continue to struggle to become healthy vibrant communities again.” – Phil Gray, 2021
No Relation To Jack The Pumpkin King.
I keep a watchful eye on all the pumpkin patches.
To make sure my subjects grown up to be well round-ish citizens.

The rotation of the Earth, in relation to the fixed stars, remains virtually constant over centuries. Unfortunately, solar time is not regular, as the path of the Earth around the Sun is an ellipse and not a circle, (the Moon also causes monthly irregularities). On any given day of the year, determining the correct time requires additional calculation.
Step 1: Look first at the outside rectangle of the 12 signs of the zodiac and then at the inside roman numerals which are the hours starting at VI (6 am) at the top left. The roman numerals are listed vertically to X (10 am) and then horizontally from XI (11 am) to I (1 pm). The chart continues along the right side of II (2 pm) to V (5 pm). Determine where the gnomon casts a shadow to find the shadow time. The shadow of the gnomon moves in a counterclockwise around the dial face.
Each dash and space between the roman numerals represent 10-minute increments.
Step 2:
Use the chart below the sundial account to obtain Eastern Standard Time if it is currently daylight savings time.
1. Find the current month on the top of the chart. Then find the vertical line corresponding to the closest date.
2. Move your eyes down the curved line and determine which horizontal line is the closest.
3. Trace along that horizontal line to the number columns (between March/April or September/October) and find the number of minutes, between 10 and 40 to add to your shadow time.
Waiting for a fourth sheep, owner of a ghettoblaster, to arrive and start the party, those sheeps are gonna have a wonderful time, not having to worry about the neighbours.
Then the beauty of
the oak and the chestnut-fan and the sky
is a mixture of
likeness and difference or
consistency and variety or
symmetry and change....
And if we did not feel the likeness
we should not think them so beautiful,
or if we did not feel the difference
we should not think them so beautiful.
The beauty we find is from the comparison we make....
Beauty therefore is a relation,
and the apprehension of it a comparison.
[Gerard Manley Hopkins, "On the Origin of Beauty: A Platonic Dialogue" (1865)]

Life is really nicely done on earth. You can see there the unique and symbiotic relationship between ants and aphids on a gooseberry: ants protect aphids from predators, and aphids produce/secrete drops of honeydew that feeds the ants (they’re addicted to).

La vie est vraiment bien faite sur Terre. Ici, vous pouvez voir la relation unique et symbiotique qu’ont les fourmis et les pucerons, sur une groseille à maquereau: les fourmis protègent les pucerons des prédateurs, et les pucerons produisent/sécrètent des gouttes de miellat qui nourrissent les fourmis (elles en raffolent).
Railfans in Southern California in relation to action on the BNSF all say the same thing something along the lines of "Another Heritage 3 GEVO blah blah blah whatever" then again you could go over to Union Pacific tracks and complain about nothing all day or PSR or whatever, it's not Railfanning until you have a chance to complain. But this time I at least had a chance to throw something out there; with a SD70ACe second out, a damn near spotless 700 series Dash-9 third (even with a matching AC unit) and a 600 series rebuild trailing fourth out, this train had all kind of potential then again it all comes down to how the power gets turned around and setup. Anyways enough with the banter BNSF 8367 leads three slightly more appealing choices for a lead motor, as this West Basin Container to Logistics Park Chicago intermodal train rounds out the top of the short hill at Highgrove on it's way out of Riverside and into San Bernardino a very clear morning.
"This precisely is the reason why he despairs- not to say despaired- because he cannot consume himself, cannot get rid of himself, cannot become nothing. This is the potentiated formula for despair, the rising of the fever in the sickness of the self."

Had some free time this morning and i just had the urge to settle my personal arguments with HV Agnes. Her hair with lumps chop off to make that bun, the seemingly endless wing eye... and that red lipstick that she borrowed from elise... i cut her hair to a forgivable length in relation to the shortest at the back, boil perm, removed that lip, tamed those eye wings and reshape her brows... all of this with what might be Grace Kelly in mind. She turned out to be gorgeous and regal.
Found this unusual snail and it was twisting and turning and seemed to have trouble pulling it's round shell with it. Thouhgt it looked like the Loch Ness Monster's relative in this shot!! Ha ha. Nessie made Explore.
Hooded Crow is a close relation to the Carrion Crow and both occur in the UK. Lossiemouth where we were staying is on the border of the population with the ‘Hoodies’ commoner in the west and Carrion in the East.
There was a lone one hanging round the lighthouse area keeping its distance from its cousins who picked on it whenever they say it. It was clearly used to people and allowed a close approach for some good photos.
The scientists are reviewing the separation into two species, when I was young the Hooded was considered a sub species of Carrion before being considered a full species. Whatever the decisions on its status they are a more interesting subject to photograph than their cousins
