These beautiful swans seem to be keeping their distance perfectly. Now if they would only wear your mask (just kidding). I took this image a few years ago in France along the Saone River. Best wishes to all. (Edited in Lightroom and Topaz)

Ven, vamos a volar. Vamos a volar más allá de las montañas hechas de angustias y de los ríos hechos de sufrimientos y de los valles hechos de rencores y de las nubes creadas por los vapores de la ignorancia, que cierran a la vista de nuestro interior el azul turquesa del cielo.
Ven, vamos a volar. Vamos a volar por encima del Gran Mar donde se agolpan los complejos y los por qué no explicados.
Ven y volemos con las alas blancas de la esperanza y el impulso de la voluntad redimida por la belleza de la búsqueda.
Ven, vamos a volar tú y yo, yo y tú. Tú en un ala y yo en otra y en medio, nuestros sueños envueltos en el plumón de nuestro Amor.
Ven, vamos a volar…

What luck that the days are gone when even cockroaches could be spies in unusual disguises.
But then, how different is it really today?
To this day I still have dreams of rooms like this. Always looking for a lighted, lockable, clean cabin with a clean toilet.
What a waste of precious dream time!
Evening grosbeaks have decided to stay with us for the winter. They come by every day to eat and drink. They will sit and chatter with each other for hours. It's truly a beautiful sight and sound.
Social distancing, also called “physical distancing,” means keeping space between yourself and other people outside of your home

..is neither an invention of the current situation nor limited to human beings. When I saw these trees on my hiking trip on Friday along river Else I immediately had the words of Khalil Gibran (The prophet / on marriage) in my mind :
Love one another, but make not a bond
of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between
the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from
one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat
not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each
other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain
your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near
together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow
not in each other’s shadow.
Kirchlengern, Ostwestfalen, Germany
Very social raptors, they have a variety of territorial and dominance behaviors, this was a more typical one! Crested caracara (Caracara cheriway)
Invented by photogenic Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks (Dendrocygna autumnalis). Tree dwellers etymologically ("dendrocygna" meaning "tree swan"), but easy to mistake for a water bird. Harlingen City Lake Park, Texas.
I've been away for some time and I'm sorry, life has been oh so busy.. Times are crazy with this virus and I hope you are all safe and practicing social distancing. I've missed you all so, thank you for the kind notes and mails.
Not too sure how long I'll be here but am trying to find time to love my camera again

Bottrop, Germany, 2021.
When I set up my tripod for this shot, my idea was to take an abstract image about the concept of social distancing. I wanted each person to be in their own individual "compartment", nicely separated by the totems (which are part of an open-air art installation, by the way). Little did I know of how much waiting I was getting myself into. In the end, I got the shot, but it took almost 30 minutes of waiting – and I still had to move one person digitally in Photoshop. It was then that I decided to add a question mark to the title of the image. These people were everything but socially distanced.
Here in Germany (and probably every other country), people are quick to blame politicians for all things going wrong in the fight against the pandemic. However, many of them fail to see that it is just as much their own fault to quite a degree. Far too many people simply don't care about keeping their distance, willing to take the chance of other people dying because of their actions.
The fight against the pandemic is not won by the decisions made in a politician's office. It is won by how well these decisions are executed by the people in their everyday lives.

Heed the rules, enjoy life.
It is supposed to look video game style and be funny. Just because you don't understand it does not mean it is not good. Js

Nada más alejado de la corriente que hoy se impone, donde lo que sobre todo importa es ser de la manada, de la tribu, de la nación, del pueblo. Hay, sin embargo, otros mundos y, por extraño que parezca, están en este. Hay que respetar y convivir con distintas realidades.

I don't know why we bother to buy toys. My phone is what she wants. Always.
I'm trying not to think of our future phone bills yet :)

We are being as protective of each other, especially my parents right now. We came up with our version of a tailgate party. Each of us brings our own food, dinnerware, and drinks. Even our own chairs. We meet up in my parents field and visit spaced apart. Sometimes we share a little from a distance.
