Same fox as yesterday, sitting in a little patch of sun before spotting me and then disappearing behind the bushes!
This is fairly cropped to get a better look at him, or her.

Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, into silent water
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was....

Wikipedia: Wat Phra Kaew is one of the oldest and most revered Buddhist temples in Chiang Rai. It is unclear when the temple was founded. The temple was originally called Wat Pa Ya or Wat Pa Yea (Thai: วัดป่าเยี้ยะ, meaning the Temple in the Golden Bamboo Forest), as it was surrounded by a dense yellow bamboo grove locally known as Yeah or Yah. In 1434 the temple's octagonal Chedi (Pagoda) was struck by lightning and it fell apart to reveal a Buddha covered with stucco inside. The Buddha was then placed in the abbot's residence, who later noticed that stucco on the nose had flaked off, revealing a green figure inside. The abbot removed all the stucco and found a Buddha image made of a green semi-precious stone, which became known as Phra Kaew Morakot or the Emerald Buddha. "Emerald" here simply means "green colored" in Thai. The temple has been thus called Wat Phra Kaew after this holy Buddha image ever since.
In 1990, a new Phra Kaew Marakot image was commissioned and carved in China out of Canadian jade in honor of Somdej Phra Srinagarindra, the Princess Mother's ninetieth birthday. The image is an intentionally close but not exact replica of the Phra Kaew Marakot in Bangkok; it is 48.3 cm wide across the lap and at 65.9 cm high, it is just 0.1 cm shorter than the original. The new image is called Phra Yok Chiang Rai (Chiang Rai Jade Buddha) and is housed in Haw Phra Yok. A dedication ceremony was held in Bangkok on 20 September 1991 (B.E. 2534) and the image was installed with a grand procession at Wat Phra Kaew, Chiang Rai on 19 October of the same year.
Same area as the male but on a different day, she was leading on this day. The male might be more colorful but this mature female has a nurturing appearance. It seems like she saw the 'eye' of the lens. The DX crop does bring it in...
The same lily in our garden after five days of strong winds and heavy rains.
Venus, the Roman goddess of love, beauty and desire, grew jealous once she saw just how beautiful the lilies were. She cursed their beauty by placing a large, yellow pistil in the middle of the flowers. For this reason, the calla lily is commonly associated with lust and jealousy.
Personally, I think this is a poor second to the original myth!
Thanks for stopping by!

This is another view of the same tourist photographer that I photographed on Scala slide film several years ago in Venice, Italy. Obviously, it was raining. Since I shot it in flim I do not have most of the data recorded and it has lost some of its detail from my scan a few years ago. I thought it was rather interesting at the time though I'm not sure the photographer really enjoyed having HIS photograph made. Another view from the front of the photographer is deeper into my photo stream. It was shot with my old Nikon F5 film camera.
at the same time, and yet remain lonesome ;-(

the same subject that was ever taken on the shores of Lake Toba on a different day.

The sky's clear, the sun's shining, the path's straight. Another moment of life not spent behind the sceen. Appreciate that moment, there will never be like that one again. Sky's the same, sun's the same. The path? Never the same.
What keeps me going back to the same river, is, that it's never the same, or, to quote an ancient Greek philosopher,"You never step in the same river twice" Heraclitus.
The same two American Badgers we've been following for several days continue their "play" session. Look at the puncture marks on the side of that face! These guys play rough!
Fortunately it appears that the injury has healed without infection, and there is no way to know whether it was a sibling or parent badger that caused it. But look at those teeth, and the powerful jaws, and (in yesterday's photo) the massive claws.
I assume this rough play among badger siblings prepares them for the unforgiving world into which they will soon be cast. Badgers are tough customers out there, and their training evidently starts early.
More to come...

After the storm the rainbow came out I took a few shots. This one is at a different angle. I just thought the colors of the rainbow were awesome. I have never quite seen one so vivid.
If you look closely there is a lighter one just above it to the top left.
