Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe

"Pachnąca szczurem i pleśnią wypełza wiosna"
(Eng. Smelling of rat and mildew slithers out spring )
1/3
inspired by the poetry of H. Poświatowska
English translation by M. Lugowski
---
na wiosnę
wychodzą z ziemi gałęziste kształty
trzęsą rosochatymi łbami
i nawet wieże kościołów
przybierają niezdrowy odcień zieleni
moja znajoma Małgorzata
(nazwisko egzotyczne)
uśmiecha się
klaszcze w ręce
na myśl o nowej sukni
już wiosennej
na płycie sarkofagu biała
drzewa naprzeciw
myślałam
przefruwający ptak
zawadził skrzydłem o gałąź
skrzydło było zielone
i zielone pierze
zawisło na gałęzi
eksplozja
nagle pośrodku miasta
wszystkie piwnice otwarte
i w górę
pachnąca szczurem i pleśnią
wypełza
wiosna

in springtime
from within the earth come out branch-like shapes
and shake their bunchy pates
and even the churches' spires
take on the greenery's unhealthy sheen
my acquaintance Malgorzata
(last name fancy)
is beaming
is clapping hands
at the thought of a new dress
already for spring
on a slab of a sarcophagus I in white
vis-a-vis a tree
was pondering
a passing bird
it snagged a branch with its wing
the wing was green
and green feathers
were hanging on the branch
an explosion
suddenly amidst the city
all the cellars open
and up and out
smelling of rat and mildew
slithers out
spring

Looking for something else I wondered about that strangely bent branch lying on the dry grass in the sun. Only that branch had a head and quickly slithered into the grass ;-) After a while it peered out of the grass again very carefully :-)
Grass snake. This one was small, about 40 centimeters long and as thick as a finger.
Seen in the nature-sanctuary Steinhuder Meer - Niedersachsen - Germany.
Auf der Suche nach etwas anderem wunderte ich mich über diesen seltsam gebogenen Ast, der auf dem trockenen Gras in der Sonne lag. Bloß dass der Ast einen Kopf hatte und schnell unter das Gras geschlängelt ist ;-) Nach einer Weile schaute sie dann wieder vorsichtig aus dem Gras heraus :-)
Ringelnatter. Diese war klein, ca. 40 Zentimeter lang und fingerdick.
Gesehen im Naturschutzgebiet am Steinhuder Meer - Niedersachsen.
Some yummy rim light from the edge of a coastal waterfall in Cornwall yesterday. Liked the abstractiness of the illuminated shapes against the dark shale.
Sunday Morning on Ullswater.
A 5am start hoping for a sunrise on Ullswater, headed down to Howtown for a wee walk along the path to Sandwick looking for some rocks to shoot. A few long exposures trying different things waiting for some colour to appear, eventually at sunrise a thin slither of orange appeared:). Luckily the clouds were moving quite fast which allowed some colour to pass through the sky. Not the best sunrise, but they all count.

The pond was full of Northern Leopard Frogs. Photographing them required a slow, slithering approach on elbows and knees at the pond's edge, hand holding the 105 mm macro with a 1.7x teleconverter to allow closer focusing and some distance between myself and subject.
Every time I photograph frogs, I remember a lesson from the old Time-Life books on photography that my parents bought for me in the Sixties, when I was a teenager. One of the volumes illustrated the perceptual differences in vision caused by the eye structure of different species - specifically, the lens. There were black and white photos taken through the actual lenses of different animals. I don't remember how or if they took into account the way a creature's brain presumably processes the visual information, and no doubt any theories presented then would be considered hopelessly out of date today. Nevertheless, it was all very interesting.
The frog's eye in particular struck me and stuck in my memory. Apparently frogs see in black and white - without a grayscale. Any tone brighter than a middle tone will be processed as white, and anything darker will appear black to a frog. Visual acuity is therefore extremely poor; however, they are sensitive to motion. Regardless of the accuracy of this fifty years later, it does explain why you can creep up on a frog by moving very slowly toward it, and eliminating any sideways motion. (I think any 10-year old who lives in the country could probably offer the same advice!) So... this I did... sliding into the cold water, not really pleasant, but disregarding this as much as possible, eye glued to the viewfinder until I reached minimum focus distance.
The frog didn't move. You can see my reflection in its eye. My lens was just above the water surface, and I was careful not to accidentally dunk it. Spare the camera gear, sacrifice the body!

My journey was long and dark, but after a precarious trek, I found myself on a faraway shore where a new Boneyard lay wait. Cautiously, I approached these so called “twilight beasts” and found them somewhat different from those that I have encountered from past travels. Covered in sharp bark like scales and writhing about with long tails, they clawed at the moon while slithering along the sandy coast. Wearily, I collected my nerves. Gently, I reached out with my mind, only to encounter a piercing howl that sent my head spinning. These creatures are suffering and I am the first person to hear their pain. And so, I decided to stay and listen so that one day I could tell their story.
It's time to get back to my stories of the boneyards in "Boneyard Journeys." With a long exposure of almost two and a half minutes, a rising tide and fogging lens, I wasn't sure this shot was going to work. This is an introduction to a short series at the Boneyard Beach on Big Talbot Island, Florida. Wishing everyone a wonderful day ahead. Thanks for the favs and kind comments, they are much appreciated!
A westbound Burlington Northern manifest freight slithers through the North Dakota Badlands near Sully Springs, in July 1994. Up front is a BN GP39E, a B30-7AB, a SW1200, and two C30-7s. A cut of brand new BN grain hoppers are up front as well.
I feel it slithering within me, quenching in thirst, raging in hunger. It twists and turn, and finally... it breaks free, cracking my throat open. Now I see myself. Now I eat my own words. I AM THAT I AM

Slugs Slither Slowly
Slugs slither slowly
under garden gates,
through cracks in garden walls
through each and any space.
Silently and after dark
when you’re tucked up, sleeping tight,
they wriggle in and set their mark,
waiting long into the night.
And as you snooze away the hours,
they fill their bellies with your flowers
sneaking away as morning comes
betrayed only by their sticky tums.
I watched in disbelief as this snake slithered up the brick wall toward the roof. I was waiting for it to lose its grip and fall... but it never did!
And needless to say, I was taking photos like crazy. It was flicking its tongue, so I zoomed in to try and get a shot of that. Needless to say, that didn't happen either.

Mrs. Worm was slithering through the leaves this morning and wondered how she could bewitch, bother, or bewilder Mr. Worm to help with the raking. Suddenly, there on the leaf pile, she spied inspiration! "Look, Dear Mr. Worm! Two hearts! You make rain become shine! Dear, rake with me, will you, Ooh do do do do do."
HWEVS! Thanks for all the visits!

The quiet town of San Luis Obispo, California is nestled firmly in the hills of the central coast. It is know for it's quaint downtown, outdoor lifestyle, and being home to the Cal Poly Mustangs. On this afternoon, the quiet activities of San Luis Obispo are broken by the roar of three GE locomotives dragging the northbound oil cans up Cuesta Pass. This train crew will tackle steep grades and tight curves as they take this train to the oil loading facility in San Ardo.

The clouds movement through and over the mountains reminded me of snakes slithering over rocks. It was memorizing to watch the constant motion. A two frame pano. Photographed from just off of I-70 in Colorado.
My first encounter with the Aurora Borealis was completely destined. I registered for an aurora notification service, within a few minutes notification comes through with a prediction for the next hour, we decide to go to the most unobstructed area we could think of and there it was. Pure magical show of the mother nature!
