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.

As we see the sun first peeking over the mountains in the background, these cows were waking after a restful night.
The old fishing boats returned home after a week or more navigating around cold dark North Sea!They proudly sail winter or summer , day or night without rest.

The black skimmer was photographed resting on a sandbar along the Cuiaba River. There were about six of them there when this image was taken. Within minutes more skimmers were circling above getting ready to land.
The black skimmer (Rynchops niger) is a tern-like seabird, one of three very similar birds species in the skimmer family. It breeds in North and South America. Northern populations winter in the warmer waters of the Caribbean and the tropical and subtropical Pacific coasts, but the South American races make only shorter movements in response to annual floods which extend their feeding areas in the river shallows.
Skimmers have a light graceful flight, with steady beats of their long wings. They feed usually in large flocks, flying low over the water surface with the lower mandible skimming the water (in order of importance) for small fish, insects, crustaceans and molluscs caught by touch by day or especially at night.
The black skimmer breeds in loose groups on sandbanks and sandy beaches in the Americas, the three to seven heavily dark-blotched buff or bluish eggs being incubated by both the male and female. The chicks leave the nest as soon as they hatch and lie inconspicuously in the nest depression or "scrape" where they are shaded from high temperatures by the parents. They may dig their own depressions in the sand at times. Parents feed the young almost exclusively during the day with almost no feeding occurring at night, due to the entire population of adults sometimes departing the colony to forage.
One of the little rest spots at Winter Wheat. There are books within where guests can say their name and where they are from etc.

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!
Taking a rest in the morning sunlight. This one is about 60 days old.

This is the first time I think I have ever seen a squirrel resting. I was trying to be ultra stealthy and I don't think he knew I was there.
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.

i found this stem of clover in a puddle. it’s a reminder that simple things can be elegant, beautiful, and even poignant. it’s also a reminder to pause. there’s no need to “do it all.” there’s no urgency. in this moment, there’s space to breathe and be.

A Northern Harrier takes a break from hunting. I much prefer to watch them hunt. They are beautifully acrobatic
in flight. I watched as it briefly squabbled with a Short Eared Owl. Unfortunately it happened too far off and I didn't get usable images.
A bull elk takes a break from the hustle and bustle of the previous week, (or longer), of chasing cows during the fall rut.
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!
