Between Reality and Beyond, there is only One Step...!
I would even say that their World fits into Ours in an invisible subtlety. . .like the breeze of the wind that we dont see, but that we feel, with sometimes shivers that run through our whole body.
Life is Feeling, Life is Emotion, Life is Sensitivity for those who let their Heart Feel and Guide their Steps...
There are only those who have this exacerbated Sensitivity, who can better than any other, perceive bits of the Invisible of the Beyond.
Happy and Blessed are those who have received this unexpected Grace, even if it's only Once... .
*********************************💖*************************************
Entre la Realidad y el Mas-Alla, solo hay un Paso...!
Incluso diria que su Mundo encaja en el Nuestro en una sutileza invisible. . .como la brisa del viento que no vemos, pero que sentimos, con a veces escalofrios que nos recorren todo el cuerpo.
Vida es Sentimiento, Vida es Emocion, Vida es Sensibilidad para aquellos que dejan que su Corazon Siente y Guie sus Pasos...
Solo hay quienes tienen esta Sensibilidad exacerbada, quienes mejor que nadie, perciben retazos de lo Invisible del Mas-Alla.
Bienaventurados y Benditos los que han recibido esta Gracia inesperada... aunque mismo sea una sola vez... .
*********************************💖*************************************
Entre Réalité et Au-Delà , il n'y a qu'un Pas ... !
je dirais même que leur Monde s'imbrique dans le Nôtre dans une subtilité invisible . . .comme la brise du vent que nous ne voyons pas, mais que nous ressentons, avec parfois des frissons qui nous parcourent tout le corps.
La Vie est Sentir, la Vie est Emotion, la Vie est Sensibilité pour qui, laisse son Coeur Ressentir et Guider ses Pas ...
Il n'y a que ceux qui ont cette Sensibilité exacerbée, qui peuvent mieux que tout autre, percevoir des bribes de l'Invisible de l'Au- Delà.
Bienheureux et Bénis sont ceux qui ont reçu cette Grâce inopinée ... même si ce n'est qu'Une Seule Fois ... .

Color is a powerful physical, biological, and psychological force. When less color and less intense color is present, trace amounts and subtle differences become highly significant and are strongly felt.
-- John Paul Caponigro
Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does Nature, because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous.
-Leonardo da Vinci
Le bec plein de chenilles collectées pour nourrir son oisillon, cet étourneau continuait son shopping malgré ma présence.
Les conditions de lumière n'étaient pas excellentes, mais cette pénombre se prête bien aux subtilités de son plumage.
The beak full of caterpillars collected to feed its chick, this starling continued its shopping despite my presence.
The light conditions were not excellent, but this penumbra lends itself well to the subtleties of its plumage.

Succulent plants are famous for their wide variety of unusual shapes. One is more curious than the other. Not by chance, many end up receiving affectionate nicknames, which often allude to fictional characters. In this context, scientific names end up being little known by the general public. Today's succulent, popularly called Shrek's ear in Brazil, is a classic example of this interesting diversity of plants with fun names, such as spoon jade, ET's fingers, finger jade and trumpet jade in other parts of the world.
Apparently, these different forms are the result of genetic mutations, commonly observed in cacti and succulents. Frequently, a given species undergoes alterations in its growth pattern, producing cultivars that are completely different in relation to the appearance of the type form.
In the case of the succulent Shrek's ear, the original species is Crassula ovata, whose most famous nickname is the jade plant. Due to genetic alterations that affected the way it grew, this succulent originated a completely different version, as shown in my photo above. It was agreed to call this variety with cylindrical leaves of Crassula ovata 'Gollum'. The ends are flat and marked by a concavity. This atypical shape, combined with its emerald green color, earned the plant the nickname of Shrek's succulent ear.
Both varieties of Crassula ovata, 'Gollum' and 'Hobbit', allude to characters in Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. However, despite these subtleties in anatomical diversity, the two forms are often referred to indistinctly as Shrek's succulent ears. In addition, it is not uncommon to observe that the same plant has cylindrical and flattened leaves, simultaneously. Just as mutations that generate crystalline and monstrous forms can occasionally be reverted to the original form, Crassula ovata's 'Gollum' and 'Hobbit' cultivars seem to be somewhat unstable, genetically speaking, in order to coexist and interchange in the same plant. .
In my case, due to a lucky strike, I ended up purchasing a small pot with both varieties simultaneously in the same pot on my second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. A gift to myself to remember that moment. There is a wide range of cultivars of the Shrek ear and jade plant available on the market. Some have even been awarded by the Royal Horticultural Society, RHS, the British entity responsible for registering all hybrids and cultivars produced in the world.
The Crassula Ovata Gollum is a succulent native to South Africa and Mozambique. They usually thrive in cooler regions and are a popular houseplant. It is characterized by its long green leaves that have a reddish tinge at their tips. These plants can bloom and have flowers that can either be pink or white and have a star shape. They can grow up to 80 cm or 30 inches. They are evergreen succulents and are often a popular option for bonsai.

I have an album of images that I've uploaded, some of which even made it into Explore that I seriously don't like and wish I'd never uploaded. I could of course delete them but I think they serve as a reminder of what I should and shouldn't do. I suspect this LE taken on Blast beach a few weeks back will possibly be a contender for that album in a few weeks time. So to all the lovers of subtlety and good taste, look away now....

Series »Winter's Bone«
A few days ago here in Berlin, it was snowing the whole day, it is currently absolutely freezing here, it's -12°C tonight! The snow had piled up just a little bit on my balcony but this tiny feather somewhere had landed on it. Grabbing my machine with the Raynox on the 55-200mm VR1 I had to go to ground level to get this shot. Initially, thanks to the lack of natural Sunlight, there was no colour, it looked very near monochrome and lifeless; so this where the WB comes into play. "Direct Sunlight" gave this subtle blue/green hue and added a note of winter tonality which was lacking in the original Auto setting. Incandescent was too harsh as was Fluorescent.
The result was this softened and may I say beautiful subtlety of a clean feather on untouched snow, I have another one much more close, which I will post up soon enough. Needless to say, my fingers were frozen!
I hope everyone is well, wishing all a great weekend and so as always thank you! :)

Series »Winter's Bone«
Sometimes nature creates really spectacular moments and often I am totally surprised by them.
It was the same this time. I was at the beach in Nienhagen on the Baltic Sea to photograph the sunset. But a thick band of clouds moved in front of the sun shortly before and the light was gone. So I packed my stuff and headed back to the car.
On the way back, at a point with a clear view of the water, I looked back briefly and was overwhelmed.
Just before the sun reached the horizon, it managed to break through the clouds and greeted me again, blood red, over the waves.
You can't imagine the stress this sight caused. Throw off the backpack, set up the tripod, change the lens and take pictures. All in a maximum of 3 minutes. There was no time to pay attention to photographic subtleties. Such a sun is not waiting for me.
When I finished the first photo, I was able to relax and watch her sink into the sea.
The day could hardly have ended better.
Manchmal erschafft die Natur schon wirklich spektakuläre Momente und häufig werde ich davon total überrascht.
So war es auch dieses Mal. Ich war am Strand von Nienhagen an der Ostsee um den Sonnenuntergang zu fotografieren. Doch ein dickes Wolkenband schob sich kurz zuvor vor die Sonne und das Licht war weg. Also packte ich meine Sachen ein und lief zurück zum Auto.
Auf dem Rückweg, an einer Stelle mit freier Sicht auf das Wasser blickte ich kurz zurück und war überwältigt.
Kurz bevor die Sonne den Horizont erreicht hat schaffte sie es durch die Wolken hindurch zu dringen und grüßte mich noch einmal blutrot über die Wellen hinweg.
Ihr könnt Euch den Stress nicht vorstellen, den dieser Anblick ausgelöst hat. Rücksack abwerfen, Stativ aufbauen, Objektiv wechseln und fotografieren. Alles in maximal 3 Mintuten. Um auf fotografische Feinheiten zu achten, dafür blieb keine Zeit. So eine Sonne wartet nicht auf mich.
Als ich das erste Foto fertig hatte konnte ich dann wieder entspannen und zusehen, wie sie im Meer versinkt.
Besser hätte der Tag kaum enden können.

Thank you so much for the support and kindness....it's greatly appreciated!! Have a great rest of the week! 😊
I took this a few days ago, when I noticed we had a clear blue sky, finally, no chemtrails for a change, the way the sun light caught through what's left of the seed pods I snapped off a few. The evening temperatures now are noticeably getting cooler, so I guess that signifies the beginning of the end for Summer.
And plus you can tell it's going to be Halloween soon as the Christmas decorations are appearing in stores! ;)
Have a great weekend everyone, thank you for all the comments, faves and follows, much appreciated and so as always, thank you! :)

Even in nothing you can discover a lot. Who has been there, walked here, trampled, maybe hopped? Do I know any of them? Did I meet someone on my way – but didn't notice? Are there any traces of blood on the way? This view simply shows the view from a bridge, here in my village. And even if it looks so empty - there seem to be some on the way ;-)

Selbst in dem Nichts kann man viel entdecken. Wer ist dort gewesen, hier gegangen, getrappelt, vielleicht gehüpft? Kenne ich irgendwen davon? Habe ich jemanden auf meinem Weg getroffen – ihn aber nicht bemerkt? Sind das etwa Blutspuren auf dem Weg? Dieser Blick zeigt ganz schlicht die Aussicht von einer Brücke, hier in meinem Dorf. Und auch wenn es so leer aussieht – es scheinen ja doch einige unterwegs zu sein ;-)

Titta Ruffo ( 1877- 1953, Hybrid Verismo school )
Walter Legge: "From the his first phrase the audience was vanquished by the overwhelming beauty of his voice—manly, broad, sympathetic, of unsurpassed richness. Such ease of production, such abundance of ringing high Gs! But more: Ruffo's infinite subtlety, variety of tone-colour, interpretive insight and sincerity, his magnificent control, stupendous breathing powers, and impeccable phrasing stamped him as a genius."
Both Battistini and Ruffo displayed exceptional vocal agility and control plus the ability to sustain a long legato line.

Taos Pueblo is an amazing place. It is the oldest continuously inhabited community in the US. Although only minutes away from the town of Taos NM, it has incredible presence and connection with the land, and the unperturbed mountains.
This portrays a wonderful, mysterious alleyway I happened upon in the golden afternoon light. A barely visible turquoise blue door peeks through at the far end of the ancient, slanted and narrowing adobe walls - beckoning... waiting...
In all the years I've been fortunate enough to visit New Mexico, this is the first time I've visited the Pueblo - long overdue. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, we hope that it remains as it is today - with a strong connection to the past and future.
Thanks to Jaro who was our guide that day. I hope I can return soon.
(I now see that this is best viewed in a darkened room to see the subtleties in the shadows :)
Sometimes it is the subtitles in the environment (or our lives for that matter) that make the difference. A few clouds in the sky color for a few moments, as they hover over a mountain top. It too had changed color from a somewhat beige to an overall deep grey.
The temperature of the light at sunset is different from that of the day. Colors take on different hues and we quite literally, see things in a new light. Spending time in one area and watching the changes that occur as the light alters, makes for a unique experience. "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." (Albert Einstein)
