Painted glass by Wilfried Grootens

"...

Da ward ein roter Leu, ein kühner Freier,

im lauen Bad, der Lilie vermählt,

Und beide dann, mit offnem Flammenfeuer,

Aus einem Brautgemach ins andere gequält.

Erschien darauf, mit bunten Farben,

die junge Königin im Glas,

Hier war die Arzenei, die Patienten starben,

Und niemand fragte: wer genas?

So haben wir, mit höllischen Latwergen,

in diesen Tälern, diesen Bergen,

Weit schlimmer als die Pest getobt.

Ich habe selbst den Gift an Tausende gegeben:

Sie welkten hin, ich muss erleben,

Dass man die frechen Mörder lobt.

"

~happy easter saturday to us All ! ~

 

the day of trancendence and transmutation.

.

   

An ancient Greek myth tells us this:

 

At Apollo's temple, Ambrogio fell for the Oracle, Selena, unaware of Apollo's own desires for her. His love sparked Apollo's jealousy, cursing Ambrogio to burn under sunlight's touch.

 

Distraught, Ambrogio sought aid from Hades and Artemis. Hades obliged, but in return demanded Artemis' silver bow. This theft incensed Artemis, casting a curse of silver upon Ambrogio.

 

With time, Artemis' wrath softened. She gifted Ambrogio with strength, immortality, and beast-slaying fangs. His sanguinary ink wrote verses of love for Selena. Selena, free from Apollo, returned to her immortal lover, tainted by her mortality.

 

In a final act, Artemis instructed Ambrogio to drink Selena's blood, granting her an immortal spirit. Their conjoined blood is said to possess the power to transmute any human into a vampire.

It's a human thing to humanise, when you look at Animals, Insects, Spiders, what have you, and notice expressions that we then mentally transmute empirically the emotions, yet do such creatures honestly feel this?! Really depends, many argue that such neurological behaviour must extend from sentience, but how do we judge that? Or measure it? If someone sees a shade of a blue sky and is aware that another may see an alternative hue of, more or less the same colour of blue, could it be argued that one's existential emotion is exact to that of another, now throw in an entirely different species and ponder the question again.

 

I took this shot of the spider and then saw the "expression" in its eyes, so to speak; a look that I perceive as of guilt and a desperation to change, from this psychopathic killing machine to a more sentient and appreciative being. But that's just me!

 

I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)

one of my favourite trees

for her autumn offerings

here the leaves are thinning...

soon she'll be almost invisible to me

but gold is also in the roots

the hibernation

the green shoots

comments off for this one

with my thanks for the quiet company :-)

 

here's to our own transmutations...

The decay chain and me. Three LED lights.

The Sun, peering through its veil of Summer haze, shines down on the marshy field of green. The winds whipping across the wetland blowing the grasses to and fro like fire dancers with their torches raised high. As I stand there, entranced, the gusts of wind that flow across my face slowly begin to move me to sway in unison with the grasses before me. I dance with them, my soul illuminated by the light, we are one.

“We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day; and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us. Even while the earth sleeps we travel. We are the seeds of the tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind and are scattered.” ― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

You plumb the depths for treasure,

Dream of gold and dredge up lead,

And all the while, I am dreaming

Into existence a slow transmutation

Of skin into scale......

 

Read the rest and grab the designer and event details on Threads & Tuneage

The science of governing nations is increasingly became a sport of selfish interests that ignores and tramples people. Transmutation takes a lot of time, and the most we can do for others is to inspire, so be patient. As you know, the shortest distance between two beings is love. Peace without love does not exist, and hate is the total absence of love. Peace and Love can make magic, but need to make sense within me. And within you. And so on. Peace is when Love makes sense for all. This way, Life really matters !

"Veiled in this fragile filigree of wax is the essence of sunshine, golden and limpid, tasting of grassy meadows, mountain wildflowers, lavishly blooming orange trees, or scrubby desert weeds.

Honey, even more than wine, is a reflection of place. If the process of grape to glass is alchemy, then the trail from blossom to bottle is one of reflection. The nectar collected by the bee is the spirit and sap of the plant, its sweetest juice. Honey is the flower transmuted, its scent and beauty transformed into aroma and taste."

Macro Mondays. Theme: Mesh

Here is the new addition to our wildly diverse and ever-growing family. Meet Skittles, the Panther Chameleon. Panther Chameleons are native to Madagascar. I learned a couple cool facts recently about chameleons. Contrary to popular belief, chameleons do not change their colors to camouflage themselves. They actually use their color changes as way to express their moods and possibly even as a way to regulate temperature. What's even more amazing to me is the way that chameleons change their colors.

"A recent study showed that the chameleon’s enigmatic ability to change its visible color is not like other animals, such as octopi and squid, who camouflage their appearance. Chameleons don’t make pigment dispensations into their skin cells. They alter their chromatic visibility by making specific adjustments to special cells nestled deep within the skin. The upper layer of skin changes color by way of structural alterations in reflecting light. This is more prevalent in males than juveniles or females. They have two thick, superposed layers of iridescent skin cells that reflect light and contain pigment; called iridophore cells. These iridophore cells have nanocrystals that vary in organization, shape and size. This is the secret to the chameleon’s enchanting color metamorphoses. They can transmute this arrangement through changes in the skin, either by relaxing or exciting them via the emotions."

… at the majesty of trees :)

 

Another textural interpretation of trees. I do rather seem besotted by them just now (the trees certainly... perhaps wobbly shots too :) ).

 

I'm playing with a more impressionistic style at the moment, mainly because ICMs seem to lend themselves to that. I keep hoping I'll get back to some real photography again and suddenly transmute into a normal photographer. I delude myself, i know :)

 

Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy 100x and Donnerstagsmonocrom

“The exquisite fragility of love

the everlastingly haunting beauty

the transcience of all things

the transcendence of human understanding

transmuted in the eyes of a beautiful dog

the transference of salient knowledge

a single glance; a moment shared

an imprinted memory on both our minds

that leaves me in awe of her canine beauty” - AP

IF YOU GO AWAY – PATRICIA KAAS

 

On this day I met a Labradoodle

half a Labrador; half a Poodle

she looked at me with big brown eyes

I felt the love; there's no disguise

her human had been walking uphill

he tore a tendon; it made him ill

he has an elite walking boot for the fells

and a beautiful dog called Molly to help him get well

I think she wanted me to take her for a run

“walking slowly”, she said, “was not much fun”

and since it is the Lunar New Year of the Dog

she looked at me appealingly; her expression all agog

wondering if I would kindly take her photo

in celebration and a beautiful memento

I told her it would be my pleasure

and she posed so nicely at her leisure

how could I ever forget this beautiful creature

with her loving gaze and beautiful features

I know you will all be just as enamoured

with this Labradoodle who exudes such glamour

dear sweet Molly if you ever look at Flickr

I hope you will be very pleased with your picture

you are so photogenic and every side is your best

I hope your human is running now and up to the test

throwing your ball and long walks by the beach

us humans have so much to learn and you are so eager to teach

we can take a leaf out of your beautiful book

be loving, kind and loyal like you and happy in our outlook

simple pleasures bring priceless treasures

you are the yardstick by which we measure

how to be so loving and giving

unconditional love is essential to living

happy and contented lives all our days

thank you Molly for your wisdom and your kind and loving ways.

I want to fly among my friends, learn from them laughing at things more beasts and cry as if it were END OF THE WORLD.I want to be in pink, be blue and transmute between all the colors.I want to plant my laughter during my weakness and in times of difficulty welcome me in hugs that make me address.I want to learn and relearn as many times as necessary.Awaken the child that exists in you and do not let her leave,hold your hand,hold onto her;because for her nothing is impossible..!!

I love that transmutable nature of SL. One day vampire, next day warrior princess!

This is what I imagine my OC to look like if she was a part of the Hunter x Hunter series ~ (✧∀✧)/

 

More OC info:

 

Her weapon and ability: Banchou Judgement Orb

 

- As a nen transmuter, she’s able to emit powerful aura onto her Orb. Once an opponent is hit by this, there’s a high chance of them feeling drained as if the orb absorbed their nen, along with its already powerful physical damage. While it may seem strong, the orb is actually only nullifying their nen abilities for a brief moment, providing a placebo effect to the opponent. The more the opponent feels useless, the longer their nen will be nullified (maximum 10 minutes). Although very useful against some opponents that have a weak willpower, it may not be useful against the strong-willed.
