On this wet and winterly day of Victorian lockdown I've stumbled upon some symbolism connected to birds by different cultures. Interestingly, "a robin bird meaning is hope, renewal, and rebirth. It symbolizes new beginnings, new projects, and a sign of good things to come".
And "yellow bird symbolizes joy and a positive outlook on life". So this Eastern Yellow Robin is like a double strength package of stuff I really need now.
Phlox diffusa, Pacfic Crest Trail, Washington
The mountain wildflower species here are diverse and abundant, and I have many favorites among them, but I especially love seeing the carpets of phlox growing profusely on the hillsides along the alpine trails.
So soft and delicate in appearance, yet they thrive in some of the harshest conditions, preferring dry slopes, rocks, and gravel, bringing life to terrain that would otherwise seem barren. Their exuberant beauty is often such a contrast to their surroundings, and I admire their ability to bloom with such joy in difficult conditions.

Abstract from a colourful mural in downtown Bellingham, Washington by Chelsea Graham (@saneartt). The mural reads "Diversity is our strength" and has the full colour spectrum. Someone parked a colourfully painted car near the end of the mural that matched beautifully. No idea if it was planned or not, but it was irresistible.

I'm pretty sure this is a Golden Eagle.
According to Google, Red Dahlias represent strength and perseverance. The white petals indicate innocence, purity, and new birth. I just think they're pretty.

The name Petra comes from Greek and means "rock". Therefore, stones that are associated with strength, steadfastness and grounding fit well with the name Petra.
Tell me, where does your name come from?
The Ways of Farm Life in the 1900's
By Mistin Grace
The days get harder and harder as I start to grow up on the farm. Each day I get up at the crack of dawn and work till the sun sets in the west. As I trudge home to claim my supper, I think about what it would be like to live in a place where there are not back breaking chores waiting to be done every time I turn around. But I knew if I never lost hope, nor my strength, I would make it out all right. I know I'm young, but I am very independent, and can keep my head in a panic situation. Like when Ma and Pa got really low on our supply of food. My younger siblings were always whining about how hungry they were, so I went out to the creek and caught some fish. There were only a few and they were small, but it would get us through for a couple of days. I found that the creek came in handy, so I began going more often and getting what I needed. A lot of the times there would be berries that I could pick where they had grown by the bank when it was damp.
Not many things have been going on since fall has rolled around, except of course getting food for my family still. I can see that Ma and Pa have been losing a lot of weight and every time I look at them I can see the sadness buried in their faces. But they won't be looking like that for much longer, due to the fact that I have found us a little place in town. It's more like a cottage I would say. There are not many people in our town, so we will not have any trouble finding jobs. There has already been an offer given to me, and it is a pretty complicated job, so there will be no arguing when Pa comes to help me. I am hoping that becoming a blacksmith at this age will do me some good, maybe a lot of good.
Well I am growing up and it's getting harder, I am now 17 and have been through a lot in my time. I feel as if I am growing up too fast. I hope to be going off to another territory real soon, now that all my brothers and sisters are old enough to take care of themselves! Ma and Pa do not approve, but I am a young man and am fit to make a living and I plan to do it by panning gold.
Well, I am doing mighty fine and have been panning gold for a mere 40 years now. I mean I am doing fine omitting my illnesses, and my hacking cough. Sometimes I think that I am going to lose my lungs.
Lately been sitting away watching the days go by. My breath is getting shorter and the days longer, so to all my people I'm signing away. Much thanks to Bryant Creek for helping me and my family survive. Goodbye.

"I must pray more and more for courage, as I certainly have neither the courage or strength to follow the path that is certainly my duty now.
With the fears and rages, that possess many confused people, if I say things that seem to threaten their interests or conflict with obsessions, then I will surely get it.
I need patience to listen, to learn, to try to understand, and courage to take all the consequences and be really faithful.
This alone is a full-time job.
I dread it, but it must be done, and I don't quite know how.
To save my soul, by trying to be one of those who spoke and worked for Peace, not for madness and destruction."
-Thomas Merton. November 12 1961.
Every year I have to visit this impressive location
For some time there is not so mutch change from year to year.
Hypholoma fasciculare, commonly known as the sulphur tuft or clustered woodlover - zwavelkopje - , is a common woodland mushroom, often in evidence when hardly any other mushrooms are to be found. This saprotrophic small gill fungus grows prolifically in large clumps on stumps, dead roots or rotting trunks of broadleaved trees.
The "sulphur tuft" is bitter and poisonous; consuming it can cause vomiting, diarrhea and convulsions. The toxins are steroids known as fasciculols and have been shown to be calmodulin inhibitors. (Wikipedia) Meerdaal bos Leuven, Belgium
