A beaten path winds its way through the dense forest, beckoning the adventurous to explore the unknown. As it disappears into the horizon, the promise of new discoveries and breathtaking scenery entices all who dare to follow it. With each step, the crunch of leaves and the rustle of branches create a symphony of nature, inviting us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the wilderness. Come and explore, for the wonders of the forest await you.

How silent is this place
The brilliant sunshine filters through the trees
The leaves are rustled by a gentle breeze
A wild and open space
By shrubs pink-tipped, mauve blossomed o’ergrown
A hush enfolds me, deep as I have known
Unbroken save by distant insects’ drone
A jungle clearing, a track, through which we bear our load to Him
It is our Paradise Road

La sagesse des herbes sauvages
Ici, il y a le bruit des démocraties modernes, dont le vernis craque.
Là-bas, celui des Empires anciens et autoritaires qui cherchent à renaître de leurs cendres.
Klaxons ou canons
Même illusion…
Nous vivons dans un monde qui cherche un nouveau récit de l’avenir.
Souvent, en ces temps désespérants et incertains,
Je m’en vais aux champs
Cueillir des baies rouges ou bleues,
Photographier les brins d’avoine sauvage
Entendre leur bruissement dans le vent,
Et refaire alliance avec l’essence de la vie, celle de nos origines…
Assis, par terre, calmement, comme l’un des milliards de brins d’herbes sauvages qui m’entourent.
Et dont le nombre, la mémoire et la longévité surpassent ceux de tous les Empires humains.
En revenant des champs, je me dis souvent qu’un autre monde n’est pas seulement possible, mais qu’il est en route, silenceux et déterminé.
Et qu’il relèguera aux oubliettes de l’histoire,
Le bruit des klaxons et des canons.

The wisdom of Wild grasses
Here, there is the noise of modern democracies, whose veneer cracks.
Over there, that of the old and authoritarian Empires which seek to be reborn from their ashes.
Horns or cannons
Same delusion...
We live in a world that seeks a new narrative of the future.
Often, in these desperate and uncertain times,
I'm going to the fields
Pick red or blue berries,
Photograph the strands of wild oats,
Hear their rustle in the wind,
And re-establish an alliance with the essence of life, that of our origins…
Sitting, on the ground, calmly, like one of the billions of blades of wild grass that surround me.
And whose number, memory and longevity surpass those of all human Empires.
Coming back from the fields, I often tell myself that another world is not only possible, but that it is on the way, silent and determined.
And that it will exile to the dungeon of history,
The sound of horns and cannons.

A writing on Trees by Hermann Hesse follows.
Herman Hesse was a contemporary of Adolph Hitler (more or less - a few years older). They had some shared experiences in the tumult of WWI (more or less - Hitler was a soldier, Hesse was in the medical corps). They came out of WWI with polar opposing views - Hitler raging with the Nationalist ferver that started WWI and led us into WWII, Hesse calling for tolerance and understanding. I guess we know whose voice was louder...
(Hats off to anyone who makes it to the end...)
"Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.
A tree says: A kernel is hidden in me, a spark, a thought, I am life from eternal life. The attempt and the risk that the eternal mother took with me is unique, unique the form and veins of my skin, unique the smallest play of leaves in my branches and the smallest scar on my bark. I was made to form and reveal the eternal in my smallest special detail.
A tree says: My strength is trust. I know nothing about my fathers, I know nothing about the thousand children that every year spring out of me. I live out the secret of my seed to the very end, and I care for nothing else. I trust that God is in me. I trust that my labor is holy. Out of this trust I live.
When we are stricken and cannot bear our lives any longer, then a tree has something to say to us: Be still! Be still! Look at me! Life is not easy, life is not difficult. Those are childish thoughts. Let God speak within you, and your thoughts will grow silent. You are anxious because your path leads away from mother and home. But every step and every day lead you back again to the mother. Home is neither here nor there. Home is within you, or home is nowhere at all.
A longing to wander tears my heart when I hear trees rustling in the wind at evening. If one listens to them silently for a long time, this longing reveals its kernel, its meaning. It is not so much a matter of escaping from one s suffering, though it may seem to be so. It is a longing for home, for a memory of the mother, for new metaphors for life. It leads home. Every path leads homeward, every step is birth, every step is death, every grave is mother.
So the tree rustles in the evening, when we stand uneasy before our own childish thoughts: Trees have long thoughts, long-breathing and restful, just as they have longer lives than ours. They are wiser than we are, as long as we do not listen to them. But when we have learned how to listen to trees, then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy. Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness."
“O sweet September, thy first breezes bring
The dry leaf’s rustle and the squirrel’s laughter,
The cool fresh air whence health and vigor spring
And promise of exceeding joy hereafter.”

I saw it again this evening
Black sail in a pale yellow sky
And just as before in a moment
It was gone where the grey gulls fly.
If it happens again I shall worry
That only a strange ship could fly
And my sanity scans the horizon
In the light of the darkening sky.
That night as I walked in my slumber
I waded into the sea strand
And I swam with the moon and her lover
Until I lost sight of the land
I swam till the night became morning
Black sail in a reddening sky
Found myself on the deck of a rolling ship
So far where no grey gulls fly
All around me was silence
As if mocking my frail human hopes
And a question mark hung in the canvas
For the wind that had died in the ropes
I may have slept for an hour
I may have slept for a day
For I woke in a bed of white linen
And the sky was the colour of clay.
At first just a rustle of canvas
And the gentlest breath on my face
But a galloping line of white horses
Said that soon we were in for a race
The gentle sigh turned to a howling
And the grey sky she angered to black
And my anxious eyes searched the horizon
With the gathering sea at my back
Did I see the shade of a sailor
On the bridge through the wheelhouse pane
Held fast to the wheel of the rocking ship
As I squinted my eyes in the rain
For the ship had turned into the wind
Against the storm to brace
And underneath the sailor's hat
I saw my father's face
If a prayer today is spoken
Please offer it for me
When the bridge to heaven is broken
And you're lost on the wild wild sea
Lost on the wild wild sea...
-Sting.
Загадка дня:-что это за летняя ягодка? Кто отгадает, тому и будет принадлежать ягодка...!......Ягодное лето снова на пороге,
Раннею порою в лес ведут дороги,
Где шумят дубравы и поют ветра,
Где приятна даже летняя жара...
Солнышком согретых,ягод ароматных,
Наберу в лукошко,в лепестках нарядных
К солнцу повернулись,спинками игриво,
Словно шепчут каждая:"-Я ли не красива?!"
Сочных, спелых ягод лето припасло,
На лесной поляне много наросло,
Чтобы зарядить нас, бодростью своей,
Засверкали ярко, тысячи огней................................Riddle of the day: -what is this summer berry? Whoever guesses, the berry will belong to him...! Berry summer is on the doorstep again,
Roads sometimes lead to the forest in the early morning,
Where the oak forests rustle and the winds sing,
Where even the summer heat is pleasant...
The sun warmed, fragrant berries,
I will type in a basket, in elegant petals
Turned to the sun, backs playfully,
It's like everyone is whispering:""Am I not beautiful?!"
Summer has saved juicy, ripe berries,
There is a lot of growth in the forest clearing,
To charge us with your cheerfulness,
Thousands of lights shone brightly...
For my beautiful friend Unni who keeps Summer in her heart <3

LOVE IN OUR HEARTS (NEW SUMMER TUNE) – JIMMY BRINE
SUMMER IN MY HEART FOR YOU
It was raining in my heart last night
I was looking for the sun
but wherever it was it was out of sight
and I felt that Summer had gone
then came a breath of fresh air in the words you wrote
and I saw the rain had stopped
You told me to keep the Summer in our hearts
you were right and I was not
I will still look forward to Autumn though
because I love to run through the leaves
to hear their rustle and to feel alive
with the coolness of the Autumn breeze
Every season has it's smell
every minute can do too
If you don't believe me then try this thing
and it will bring a smile to you
stand outside on a Summer's day
sniff the air; note the way it feels
then in the evening do the same again
do you see what I'm talking about now
this “secret” is my gift to you
I discovered it as a child
I can hear the tide turn as well you know
and find harmony in the wild
it's no secret; I dance to my own tune
I am like Poppy Pan,
Peter's long lost little sister
I've been here since the world began
I may never grow old
not in the way we know
to be the fate of everything
but I will always keep Summer in my heart for you
throughout the Winter and ensuing Spring
when the primroses bloom
and the wild bells grow
and the woods are full of blue
I will look to the sky
have the Spring in my step
and the Summer in my heart for you.

Saw this small snake cruisin' along & wanted to try to get a shot head on, so I walked ahead of him as he slithered under some nearby branches & leaves. I crouched down waiting for him. Wasn't sure when or exactly where he was going to emerge until I heard some rustling around. He cautiously rose up from out of the leaves nearby to take a look around ! Haha, this little one was so cute! Didn't expect him to be upright.
My daughter calls him "Rustle"
This morning with her rustle tunnels and feather wands.

I sit here alone, gazing into the distance forlorn
My heart beats faintly: it is battered, bruised, foreworn
I close my eyes and think of you, the subject of my dreams
As I do I feel the ripples, as my heart begins to tear at the seams.
The wind rustles through the leaves, capturing my attention for a while....
But as I close my eyes, I see the form of your smile.
I then begin to wish that you were here, that I could hold your hand...
But I did hold you yet things didn't work out as I had planned
At this point my mind is now clouded with thoughts of only you
I look up to the sky and perhaps there is hope, it is so impossibly blue...
But then in a twist of fate the orange and yellow embers start streaming through: a touch of sunset on a distant hill
And here I led myself to believe that the gravity of my emotions could make time stand still…
A stroll along the beach at Just Another Tequila Sunrise brings the fresh scent of the salt air, a soft sea breeze that rustles the hair. The quiet beauty of this place greets the eyes at every turn with natural vistas and peaceful sanctuary from the busy outside world.
Пони — это чудо крошки.
Их погладить бы ладошкой,
Прикоснуться к длинной чёлке,
Провести по гриве холки.
Этих лошадей малышек
Нет милей для ребятишек,
Пони — это только пони.
Пони — не большие кони,
Пони — малые коняшки,
Но зато они милашки!..............A pony is a miracle of crumbs.
I would like to stroke them with my palm,
Touch the long bangs,
Hold on to the mane at the withers.
These little horses
For children, there are no
ponies better than those that are sweeter - they are just ponies.
Ponies are not big horses,
ponies are small horses,
but they are cute!...
A moment captured, frozen in time
A bridge of old, a city sublime
A river flows beneath its span
A skyline rises, a modern plan
Amidst the hustle and the bustle
A moment of peace, a moment to rustle
The leaves that cling to branches high
A glimpse of nature, a serene sky
The bridge a symbol of days gone by
A testament to what we can supply
But nature remains, a steadfast force
Reminding us of a different course
So take a breath, enjoy the view
Take in the old, embrace the new
For in this moment, all can agree
Beauty surrounds, for all to see.
Refrain from an old song performed by Mathé Altéry (soprano singer born in 1927) :
Frou-frou, frou-frou
By her petticoat the woman
Frou-frou, frou-frou
Of man disturbs the soul
Frou-frou, frou-frou
Definitely the woman
Especially seduced
By her pretty rustle
Refrain d'une vieille chanson interprétée par Mathé Altéry (chanteuse soprano née en 1927) :
Frou-frou, frou-frou
Par son jupon la femme
Frou-frou, frou-frou
De l'homme trouble l'âme
Frou-frou, frou-frou
Certainement la femme
Séduit surtout
Par son gentil frou-frou
after twilight
when nightbirds return
to roost along boulevards
slick with rain and downtown
bars fill with emptiness
the whine of distant sirens
calls for someone
to swim out past the tidewater
to deep blackness
to passersby who glance
in the window and keep
moving and maybe those
restless shadows linger
on the wall as winds rustle
overhead or underfoot:
oh, how passions rise
in the sweet chambers
of imagination, a dark-haired
beauty on a moonlit beach,
say Florida and the sand
carries the salts of the bay
in and out, delirious for want
of the moment to never end
waves erasing the sand
out and in and though she
may be the trick memory
plays or desire or loneliness
maybe what might have been
was real enough
--Miguel deO
A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made. The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air.

A crisp cold Novermber day where warmth can be found in the glow of the sun - when the senses seem clearer and contemplating life's hurdles begin to appear possible. A thousand thoughts of everything and nothing feel like a pleasant waking dream in the hypnotic rustle of the leaves and the playful whistling of the wind.
Nature! Meditation! Mindfulness!

Yes, the world may aspire to vacuousness, lost souls mourn beauty, insignificance surrounds us. Then let us drink a cup of tea. Silence descends, one hears the wind outside, autumn leaves rustle and take flight, the cat sleeps in a warm pool of light. And, with each swallow, time is sublimed.

*Eichholzmaar @ Morning sun and fog*
This morning, during the fog release on a very small maar in the volcanic Eifel, a lake of volcanic origin. And as befits the "Eichholzmaar" an oak tree of the image design serves.
It's a dream to take pictures in the Eifel in the early morning...no competition, silence, just the cry of a heron or the rustle of leaves...pure relaxation....
Heute Morgen während der Nebelauflösung an einem sehr kleinen Maar in der Vulkaneifel, ein See vulkanischen Ursprungs. Und wie es sich für das Eichholzmaar geziemt dient eine Eiche der Bildgestaltung.
Es ist ein Traum, am frühen Morgen in der Eifel zu fotografieren...keine Konkurrenz, Stille, nur der Schrei eines Reihers oder das Rauschen der Blätter...Entspannung pur...
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

I was wandering around a rather nice (though autumnally sleepy) garden yesterday trying to take interesting pictures of leaves using my Flektogon vintage lens for a change. Of pictures I took quite a few. Interesting, not so many.
This is my attempt at the Crazy Tuesday group’s theme of Leaves today. It’s a wobbly image of an Acer. I often feel wobblies of leaves like this look like wind, and there is nothing quite like wind in leaves (my favourite is the sound of wind in bamboo).
In processing I had to warm up the colours quite a bit (though clearly I shouldn’t admit to that lol). It’s nice to be able to take part in the group though because it’s so friendly.
I also sharpened the image quite a bit to bring out the painterly textures, though you probably need a big screen to see that.
Have a great week folks, and may your leaves rustle…
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Crazy Tuesday and 100x :)

Step into this serene meadow, where golden fields stretch endlessly and the world feels gentle for a moment. Here, the only news is the rustle of the breeze. a quiet reminder that beauty still flourishes, even when the headlines fail to say so. Let this peaceful view be your escape, your pause, your proof that hope always resides somewhere on the horizon...
Thank you so much for stopping by! Your views, faves, and kind words truly brighten my day. If you enjoyed this moment of peace, I’d love to share more with you. Feel free to fave and leave a little love anytime.
I was in the woods at sunset yesterday and a beam of light suddenly lit this patch of fern deep within the darkness of the pines. Although there seemed to be no wind, the fronds rustled like feathers and I got the impression of a phoenix rising. All too quickly the sunlight disappeared and there was only darkness.
Soft
Delicate
Small
Fragrant
Pink and white
Flutter to the ground
To form a gentle blanket
That gently rustle
In the cool spring breeze
I watch in awe
At your beauty
As I leave this world
My mind will fall to you
Oh magestic
And delicate one
Whose name is
"......................"

This was a very peaceful site. I felt a serenity fall over me the second I entered this sacred place. I guess some would not feel it, nor care but I was open, ready to listen to whatever message I was to receive. Sometimes all it takes is a soft breeze, a sun ray, the rustle of leaves in a tall tree to light a spark in our hearts. We simply have to open ourselves to hear the word.
The woods shine in the most beautiful colors, the leaves rustle with every step. Autumn seduces the senses like no other season. With his warm light he shows the treasures of nature in a special intensity. Be enchanted by the magic of Swiss Autumn.
Autumn is the spring of winter.
There is a silence of the autumn until to the colors.
I wish you the tender impatience of spring the mild growth of the summer, the quiet maturity of autumn and the wisdom of the sublime winter. ( Irish blessing )
Thank you all my friends here for your interest in my little work of love. Thank you so much for your beautiful words you gave me. I appreciate every single one from them. Please listen with me this relaxing music and dream from a world full of beauty and wonders.

He sits beside the creek, pondering to himself. The sounds of nature are all around him: the ducks quacking contently; the light breeze that rustles through the trees. A calm and content life lived side by side with the natural world.

As I gaze upon the digital watercolor painting I created based on one of my travel photographs, I am transported back to the enchanting scene that captivated me during my visit to the magnificent Château d'Amboise, nestled on the banks of the Loire River. The vibrant hues and delicate brushstrokes bring to life the grandeur and opulence of the French monarchs, who graciously welcomed even Leonardo da Vinci within the walls of this splendid palace.
The sun casts its warm glow upon the façade of the Château, illuminating the intricate architectural details. The soft, creamy tones of the limestone walls contrast elegantly with the azure sky, creating a harmonious palette that evokes a sense of serenity. Towering turrets and ornate balconies adorned with intricate carvings reach towards the heavens, testaments to the regal power that once resided within these walls.
As I shift my gaze, the vivid greenery of the surrounding gardens comes into view. Manicured hedges and blooming flower beds weave a tapestry of colors, complementing the majestic palace. The gentle breeze carries the scent of blossoms, adding a touch of tranquility to the scene. In the distance, the Loire River meanders gracefully, its waters reflecting the dreamy ambiance of the surroundings.
Within the painting, I can almost hear the echoes of history whispering through the air. I imagine the bustling courtyard, once filled with courtiers and artists, their conversations intertwining with the rustle of silk garments. It was here, within these very walls, that Leonardo da Vinci found solace and inspiration during the final years of his life. His brilliance and creativity infused the palace with an undeniable aura of intellectual fervor.
As I observe the digital watercolor rendition of the Château d'Amboise, I am reminded of the intricate connection between art and history. The painting encapsulates the allure of this extraordinary place, where the splendor of the French monarchy and the genius of Leonardo da Vinci converged. It serves as a visual testament to the enduring legacy of the Château d'Amboise and its pivotal role in shaping the cultural heritage of France.

Well, I may have only gotten around to it actually on the day but I finally managed to rustle up Halloween costume photos for this year! I think Ayela really smashed it out of the park, and went for a much more classic demon than me!
I have discovered though that it's kinda' difficult to create lighting etc' that works for two very different looking avatars, but I think the end result was still cool none the less!

. . .in the city
after twilight
when nightbirds return
to roost along boulevards
slick with rain and shuttered
cafes fill with emptiness
the whine of distant sirens
calls for someone
to swim out from the quay
to deeper blackness
to passersby who glance
at themselves

moving and maybe those
restless shadows linger
on the wall as winds rustle
overhead or underfoot:
oh, how passions rise

On a walk down the wooded lane to the pond late morning I heard a rustle and then saw a doe scamper away......not uncommon in the area, but less so precisely there. I continued on to the pond, drew it all in. After a while, returned down the path and heard another stir - much quieter. The spots stood out on this lovely little fawn far enough away as it teetered on its little spindly legs for a few steps and then it settled back down. Quickly took the picture from a distance (hence not so great of an image) and got out as quickly as possible. The mother no doubt was watching it all from her safe distance, and also no doubt returned to her fawn shortly thereafter.
Please note this is heavily cropped and I was around 15 feet away - which was the distance of where I was on the path and where it was off it.
