Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. When you feel it coming, turn your focus to your breath.

Amazed by the tonality change of the light trail in blue hour.
it begins at the feeder and then escalates from there. They go at each other at the feeder, then rise up higher and higher until they exit from my camera's view finder.
A large, dark grayish brown kiwi with brownish streaking, often showing white patches on face. Restricted to native forest near Okarito in New Zealand, with small populations on predator-free Mana, Blumine, and Motuara islands. Often heard at night foraging as it sniffs loudly, tapping the ground for invertebrates. Male call is a series of clear rising whistles. Female call is a harsh throaty wail. Both sexes repeat their call many times, and sometimes call simultaneously. Could be confused with Weka by voice and shape; look for the kiwi’s much longer bill and lack of tail, and listen for its multisyllabic call. (eBird)

On the ferry to Blumine Island were two conservation officers who were taking two kiwis to a nearby island for release into the wild. During the trip, they brought out one of the kiwis and showed the fascinated passengers how the birds were banded and tagged with electronic trackers. The kiwi wasn't really impressed by all this handling, but the bander knew what she was doing and the job was quickly done. Before returning him to his travel box, the conservation officer showed him off to the enthralled passengers, most of whom had probably never seen a kiwi close up and in the daylight. I was absolutely thrilled!
A few days later, we heard a female calling at a mainland location, but did not see her so this was the only sighting that we had.

This series of landscape photographs is inspired by the gloomy prospect of rising sea levels due to the ongoing global warming. When I look at these images, I find it easier to imagine a submerged world flooded by the rising sea.
I don't know about you, but this notion gives me the creeps.

Castle Rising is an important example of a Norman keep surrounded by two defensive earthworks. The facade and embellishments on the fore building are original and the walls mostly intact.

Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility. Saint Augustine

I was looking for an owl, which I did find, but I didn't get the shot I wanted. I was just about to leave, when I saw a rising moon.

sun-driven frost-mist rising,
sandhill cranes and mourning doves ringing,
rising and ringing in the crystalline blue sky
In the west, intriguing and eye-catching storm clouds began to gather late one afternoon recently. Humidity was at 89%.
