(rough translation)
Where
the pollen of divinity?
Where
the subtle line of meaning?
(Ana Hatherly)
To follow with the eyes a heron over the river and then
to find yourself flying.
And to happily lie down on the grass to listen to
a subtle sorrow.
And at night to scan the hill to discover
where the sun goes to sleep.
To ask yourself why when sadness falls
at the bottom of the heart
like snow it makes no noise.
And to drive like a madman with headlights off in the night
to see
if it’s really so difficult to die.
And to clench the hands to hold on to
something that
is inside me
but in your mind, it is not.
You cannot understand.
Call them, if you want:
emotions.
Call them, if you want:
emotions
To got out into the heath in the morning
where you aren’t able see a step ahead of you
to look for yourself.
To talk, more or less, with a fisherman
for hours and hours
to not feel that something inside of you is dying.
And to cover with soil a little green plant
hoping that one day
a red rose will bloom.
And to punch out someone
because he was a bit discorteous
knowing that what really burns are not the offences.
And to close the eyes to hold on to
something that
is inside me
but in your mind, it is not.
You cannot understand.
Call them, if you want:
emotions.
Call them, if you want:
emotions.
Lucio Battisti -
Understanding and describing emotions is not easy, I think, very often, everyone has tried to describe emotions to others, but it is difficult to convey them ...
Surely the translation loses a lot,
I tried to find the best one, just to get in the way of words
and do not let out my friends who do not know Italian....
Thanks for your recent visits, favorites, comments and invitations. I go slow, but everything is very much appreciated, as always....

SN/NC: Eugenia Pyriformis, Myrataceae Family
A hidden gem of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, the Uvaia is a vibrant, golden-yellow fruit from the Myrtaceae family. It is immediately recognizable by its distinctive pear-like shape and thin, delicate skin that encases an incredibly aromatic, juicy pulp. The flavor is a captivating blend of sharp, refreshing acidity with subtle tropical notes, often described as a more perfumed version of a lemon. While too acidic to be widely eaten fresh, it is transformed into exquisite jellies, tangy sauces, and revitalizing juices. This sun-kissed fruit not only offers a unique taste of South American biodiversity but also paints a beautiful picture of nature's simple elegance.

O sabor é uma combinação cativante de acidez intensa e refrescante com sutis notas tropicais, frequentemente descrito como uma versão mais perfumada do limão.

Een verborgen juweel van het Braziliaanse Atlantische Woud, de Uvaia is een levendige, goudgele vrucht uit de Myrtaceae-familie. Hij is direct herkenbaar aan zijn onderscheidende peervorm en dunne, delicate schil die een ongelooflijk aromatisch, sappig vruchtvlees omhult. De smaak is een boeiende mix van scherpe, verfrissende zuurgraad met subtiele tropische tonen, vaak omschreven als een meer geparfumeerde versie van een citroen. Hoewel hij te zuur is om veel vers gegeten te worden, wordt hij omgetoverd tot verfijnde gelei, tangy sauzen en verfrissende sappen. Deze door de zon gekuste vrucht biedt niet alleen een unieke smaak van de Zuid-Amerikaanse biodiversiteit, maar schildert ook een mooi beeld van de eenvoudige elegantie van de natuur.
Ein verstecktes Juwel des brasilianischen Atlantischen Regenwaldes, die Uvaia, ist eine lebhafte, goldgelbe Frucht aus der Familie der Myrtaceae. Sie ist sofort an ihrer unverwechselbaren birnenähnlichen Form und der dünnen, zarten Schale zu erkennen, die ein unglaublich aromatisches, saftiges Fruchtfleisch umhüllt. Der Geschmack ist eine fesselnde Mischung aus scharfer, erfrischender Säure mit subtilen tropischen Noten, oft beschrieben als eine duftigere Version einer Zitrone. Obwohl sie zu sauer ist, um häufig frisch verzehrt zu werden, wird sie zu exquisiten Gelees, würzigen Saucen und belebenden Säften verarbeitet. Diese von der Sonne verwöhnte Frucht bietet nicht nur einen einzigartigen Geschmack der südamerikanischen Artenvielfalt, sondern malt auch ein schönes Bild von der schlichten Eleganz der Natur.
ウヴァイアは、ブラジルの大西洋岸森林に眠る隠れた宝石であり、ミルトス科に属する鮮やかな黄金色の果物です。特徴的な洋ナシ形と、驚くほど芳香豊かでジューシーな果肉を包む薄く繊細な皮ですぐにそれとわかります。その風味は、さわやかな鋭い酸味と微妙なトロピカルなニュアンスが見事に調和しており、しばしば「より香り高いレモン」と表現されます。生食には酸味が強すぎるため、高級なゼリー、ピリッとしたソース、活力を与えるジュースへと姿を変えます。太陽の恵みを受けたこの果実は、南アメリカの生物多様性のユニークな味を提供するだけでなく、自然のシンプルな優雅さの美しい絵を描き出します。

It's hard for me to decide if Mossy Grotto Falls or Panther Creek Falls is my favorite waterfall in the northwest. Panther is big and powerful, Mossy Grotto much smaller and subtle. But, there's something about Mossy Grotto that I just love. The two symmetrical ridges form a perfect V where the water cascades down and the rest of the creek meanders around beautiful lush scenery in spring. It's a really special place. I probably had the most fun photographing this one out of all the falls I visited this spring. Pretty straightforward shot, although I did blend in a different exposure for the ferns on the right. I was very close to the ferns so I used an exposure at a different focal length and also bumped my ISO up to ensure I could use a fast enough shutter speed to freeze the ferns.

Macro Mondays Theme: Heart ❤️
Made this heart with ribbon I used round the christmas cake last year. It had wire at the edges to bend into shape. Surrounded it with heart confetti.
Really appreciate all your comments and favourites as always. HMM to one and all! It's half term this week so won't have as much time to comment as normal, but will try my best!! Have a great week everyone.

For some reason, I love shooting dead trees, and there was no shortage of them in Southwestern US. I guess they must be dying of thirst with all that heat and dryness. I find they always turn out awesome, especially in black and white. This was in Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado, USA
For the first time in a long while, I was excited to go out and shoot. There was fog, and I was heading into work. This makes a difference, actually, because Half Day, Wright Woods, and Ryerson forest preserves are on my way to the office. When working at home, it seems like so much more effort to go to these places (early in the morning), and then come back.
Anyhow! The fog cooperated and enough lingered to produce some sunbeams along one of my favorite paths. The angle might not be the best for amazing sunbeams, but at least they are there.

Lower Peirce, Singapore.
This was a shot taken at sunset. It was an intense and beautiful sunset, probably one the nicest I have seen in almost a year. For this particular image, I had deliberately substantially desaturated the image because I wanted to convey intensity but also a sense of holding back - perhaps a juxtaposition of both subtlety and intensity.
Taken, May 2012.
Please do not download or use any of my photographs without first getting my approval.
I went by Foster park and decided that I would shoot the evening underexposed, and am so glad I did.
Awash in the softening Spring palette, the very first buds are just beginning to form. These are on a huge, old Mountain Laurel tree. :)

Deep East Texas.
The last of a series of shots of a beautiful waterfall deep in Pineywoods of East Texas. This shot provides a broader look at the surrounding habitat, and the large sandy bottomed pool that has formed at the base of the falls. A sight like this must have been an unexpected, and welcoming site to early settlers exploring the region. Perhaps it reminded them of their eastern homes, or perhaps it provided the inspiration to continue their journey. Today I count myself lucky to have witnessed a scene like this, and wonder if future generations will be so fortunate.
