This rose is already standing two weeks on our table together with his companions. He looks fragile while the petals fall off, but he is still strong in standing there.
I belief that we need these two characteristics as times in life aren't easy.

The Catha plant (Khat or qat (Catha edulis, Arabic: القات ) is a flowering shrub reaching full size in seven or eight years. Its crop – the new shoots and leaves – can be harvested four times a year, making it financially attractive for the farmer. It is easy to grow but requires ample irrigation to produce fresh and moist, young green leaves. It is native to the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Khat contains the alkaloid cathinone, a stimulant, which is said to cause excitement, loss of appetite, and euphoria. Especially the young leaves and stems are chewed, not eaten. Among communities from the areas where the plant is native, qat chewing has a history as a social custom dating back thousands of years.
Especially in Yemen and Somalia qat is widely consumed and often considered as a burden for the economies of those countries.
For example, in Yemen it is estimated that 40% of the country's water supply goes toward the irrigation of khat.

the strength to keep on going forward despite the fear.”

Southern BuIlrush - Typha domingensis
Cut at water level shows this rush is built for absorbing water and waving in the wind.
Interestingly, this rush species has male and female flowers on the same stem. Top brown flower is male, bottom female....
Stand for something, even if it means standing alone.
Oftentimes the one who flies solo has the strongest wings.

The Chinguetti Mosque is a mosque in Chinguetti, Mauritania. It was an ancient center of worship created by the founders of the oasis city of Chinguetti in the Adrar region of Mauritania in the thirteenth or fourteenth century. The minaret of this ancient structure is supposed to be the second oldest in continuous use anywhere in the Muslim world.
In the 1970s the mosque was restored through a UNESCO effort, but it, along with the city itself, continues to be threatened by intense desertification.
In 1996 the old town of Chinguetti was added to the Unesco world heritage list, together with the old towns of Ouadane, Tichitt and Oualata.
In Sunni Islam, Chinguetti is generally regarded as the 7th holy city.

Grand Pic | Pileated Woodpecker | Dryocopus pileatus
Un grand allié...
Au gré de mes tournées hivernales des trous des Petits-ducs maculés du Parc Angrignon, il n'est pas rare que je croise un et parfois même deux Grands pic. Le plus grand de nos picidés côtoie quotidiennement en ce lieu ses tout petits cousins, les Pics chevelus et Pics mineurs. Toujours à fouiller les écorces des arbres ou encore creuser des trous pour y dénicher sa nourriture, on le retrouve presque toujours très haut au sommet des arbres. Alors, lorsque qu'il se présente à hauteur des yeux et parfois même au sol, je m'empresse de bien prendre mon temps pour l'approcher et le capter, d'autant plus que bien préoccupé, comme c'était le cas ici, à se nourrir ou creuser son trou, il fera fi de ma présence.
Allié incontestable de nos Petit-ducs, en effet puisque les femelles, à tout le moins c'est le cas d'Amandine, choisiront les anciens nids abandonnés de Grands pic, aux dimensions idéales, pour y nicher. Considérant que généralement les Grands pic ne réutiliseront pas le nid les années suivantes, voilà des cavités taillées sur mesure pour nos petits hiboux. Je dis bien généralement, puisque souvenons-nous que l'année dernière Amandine aura été chassée du trou no 6 par un Grand pic qui aura, quant à lui, entrepris un peu plus tard d'y faire un grand ménage. On se rappellera que c'est en ce trou no 6 que la nichée d'Amandine et Shannon eut lieu à l'hiver/printemps 2018. Au final ce couple de Grand pic envahisseur n'aura pas choisi de nicher l'année dernière dans cet ancien nid.
