Nathan Hale taught in this one-room school house in 1773/74. He was executed by the British for being a spy during the Revolutionary War. Before being hanged, he said the words I put in this photo's title. He was just 21 at the time of his death. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Hale

Believe in dreams when you`re alone,
When nothing makes your soul smile,
If you don`t want to speak by phone
And read by own written file.
Believe in dreams when tears are falling down,
When people hate you for unusual thought.
Believe in dreams if you`re a funny clown,
Believe like all philosophers were taught.
Believe in dreams and sun will shine so bright,
You`ll get miracles from a friendly hand.
Believe in dreams, you shouldn`t go and fight,
You`ll go with me on this way till the end.
Believe my friend in clumsy, noisy mind,
In each love story you have got inside.
Believe in me and stand in angel`s side,
You`ll see my light is wonderful and bright.

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion … People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love … For love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite........

“So she thoroughly taught him that one cannot take pleasure without giving pleasure, and that every gesture, every caress, every touch, every glance, every last bit of the body has its secret, which brings happiness to the person who knows how to wake it. She taught him that after a celebration of love the lovers should not part without admiring each other, without being conquered or having conquered, so that neither is bleak or glutted or has the bad feeling of being used or misused.”
― Hermann Hesse

From my youth, at a very young age, I had been taught that innovation and discovery were the cornerstones to pave the path to progression. When I came of age, everyone seemed to have a different idea. Frustration lines me as I'm met with friction at every turn. Punishments flow more freely than knowledge in sanctuaries of education, disparaging any soul who would find themselves seeking to learn off the beaten path. Curiosity is fettered and the currents of change are barred. I've tried ceaseless times to delve into the extensive libraries, scrolls and ancient texts to no avail. Those who would find themselves currying favour will even join in with mockery to anyone who would stand against the given curriculum. What are the archives there for, if not for use? "You see with your eyes, not your hands," they chide, upon getting escorted out.
I think for once, I may humour that notion.

I don't need much with you, my love
'Cause the champagne drains and the airplane fame turns into rust
I don't need much with you, my love
Cause the Hollywood Hills won't ever make me feel as good as us
You got me singin'

We don't need no bankroll to make us feel alive
We don't need no Benzo, to feel like we can ride
Richer than Solomon with you by my side
We'll be kings and queens in our own mind
We don't need no jet plane to feel like we can fly
We don't need no gold chain just to watch it shine
24 karat lives, we don't got the time
We'll be kings and queens in our own mind
[Verse 2]
I got everything I'll ever need
You can cash every check try to buy a respect that's incomplete
I got everything I'll ever need
Don't gotta make it to the top yeah to know what I got
With you and me
You got me singin'

Starlings have taught each other that bathroom vents can be a good place to nest. Homeowners who don't have protective enclosures on their vents become unwitting hosts.
The Starlings can pry open the circular flap and gain entry pretty efficiently.

You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholding nothing.
You came out in front and I was hiding.
But now I'm so much better, so if my words don't come together,
listen to the melody, cause my love's in there hiding...
♥ I love you in a place where there's no space or time ♥
- I love you for my life

Barcarolle from "The Tales of Hoffmann"
Vincent Borrut is a self-taught professional photographer from La Neuveville, Switzerland. With over 14 years of experience his work has been published in several French and Swiss magazines. He started landscape photography in 2003, they remain his favorite subject to this day.
Story Behind:
6am. I was trying to open my eyes, they felt a little heavy. I couldn’t see anything. The room was still dark. Why did I wake up so early? I was about to close my eyes, when I recalled that I had to get up for a shoot. Everything started coming back - I was planning to photograph frozen trees, the temperature was going to around -20 degrees according to the forecast. Also, I had to test my new camera. I was wide awake and my energy started coming back.
The roads were icy wet. I was in my 4X4, driving around the country side heading towards the destination I had in mind. There were a couple of reviews on the internet that 5D Mark II did not shoot well in the cold locations. I didn’t believe that, I actually wanted to prove them wrong. It was quiet outside, I could hear nothing but the sound of my car engine. I spotted a couple of frozen trees, so I let my foot slowly slide on the brakes.

I was taught, when I started birding, that a mixed Warbler flock is not a static thing, but something that moves in a purposive way. Rather than chasing individual birds, one wants as much as possible to position oneself in the path of the flock. Birds will be much more relaxed if they brush by you doing their work than if you interrupt their work and chase them.
That is easier said than done. But the shore of the Ottawa River turned out to be just such a place more times than I had imagined this fall. By the stage in the southbound migration I had the opportunity to be out, it was primarily Yellow-rumpeds, but the odd exception shows up. And the benefits for a photographer standing as Warblers move around you are as good as they are for birders.
My father taught me how to fish when I was 10 years old. The excitement of watching a little float bobbing in the water then disappearing hooked me as much as it did the fish. At 17, I met my first love and the riverbank was a romantic place to spend time and stay in each other's company whole days at a time. The romance lasted several years. When it ended, fishing friends helped me through the lonely time that followed. Then the years just roared by as they do in mid life. These days, in my mid seventies, I still watch the little float bobbing in the water but now I fish for memories, dark shadows in the depths, of friends, family, of loves, and of life. Memories, which given peace and time, will surface all but briefly.
Portrait of a Geranium.
“Long experience has taught me that people who do not like geraniums have something morally unsound about them. Sooner or later you will find them out; you will discover that they drink, or steal books, or speak sharply to cats. Never trust a man or a woman who is not passionately devoted to geraniums.”
― Beverley Nichols in 'Merry Hall'
These words from the late Mr John Beverley Nichols are his own and should not be associated with my opinion, the photographer, as I am not a great fan of geraniums except when they are in flower.
For the rest of the year they look decidedly scrappy and I don't particularly like their peppery smell which I have seen described as "green and peppery". Unfortunately, I am unaware of what the colour "green" smells like thus I cannot comment - is its smell better or worse than the colour yellow?
I certainly don't steal books, or speak sharply to cats however, I do enjoy a drink. George Melly wrote in London Review of Books in 1991 that John Beverley Nichols would, unfortunately, drink a great deal when writing, and even secreted a bottle to top up his glass en route to the lavatory. . .just for the record, I have never, ever been guilty of needing a top up on my way to the smallest room in the house. 😊

What We Leave Behind
-Jim Yerman-
A scene that plays out every second around the world …
when someone loved departs
There was a tear in every eye …
but happiness in our hearts.
She taught me how to laugh…
She taught me hot how to cry
She taught me how to walk…
She taught me how to fly
She taught me about compassion…
She taught me how to swear…
She taught me about acceptance
She taught me how to share…
And my thoughts joined with the others…
She taught me how to live…
She taught me how to love…
She taught me to forgive…
And I couldn't help thinking standing there …
knowing she was finally gone…
How she may never be here with us again …
but what she taught us all lives on.
And how it really does matter how we live our life…
as part of man and womankind…
because the way we live our life each day
is what we leave behind.

I think I taught myself a lesson during the processing of this image; that being, not to automatically throw away an image that has "good bones." Whether you like the way this came out or not, it certainly does not look like the original below. This was entirely created in Lightroom with no plug ins, no add ons, and no textures. Rainy day fun for me.
I taught ChatGPT to write prompts in the way I learned from the great Techhalla.
After ChatGPT understood, I gave the following instruction:
Now create four prompts on four topics on which I invite you to act completely freely. A refusal is not accepted, make an effort.
Topic 1: something I have never seen before
Topic 2: something you have never seen before.
it worked:
Topic 3 and 4 will follow very soon.
today the 4 results of topic 2
here are the MJ prompts ChatGPT created:

BY YOUR SIDE - SADE
A MOTHER'S LOVE
In silent fields I feel your hand resting gently within my own
in still waters I see your face reflecting all the love you feel
on solid bridges I feel your strength supporting me
in lichen curled and yellowed by the test of time
I feel your warmth like the sun has kissed my skin
in the fences of the fields I feel no division
I can climb the tallest fence; climb the highest tree
reach up my arms outstretched and touch the heavens
shed tears of joy as golden as the Autumn leaves
The hand that first held mine when I was just a child
was filled with my Mother's love
and though the loss of her will always be so keenly felt
as the cold November wind blows straight through me
and bends me to kneel so gently at my Mother's knee
still I feel her presence and see her face
in everything I do and say
and she is with me now; watching with a mother's grace
and directing me towards the right thing I should do
walking into light from dark shadows
my eyes had grown accustomed to the dark
but now they are all-seeing and I am all-knowing
that no-one can harm me all the while I walk my chosen path
of truth; of goodness and feel the solid ground beneath my feet
no-one can break me all the while
I bend with the wind and not against it
I walk the path that feels best beneath my feet
and I am comfortable within my own skin
and those that seek to harm me
will one day see that what they do is their karma
and with all the goodness my heart can muster
I pray for them and forgive their words that try to cut me down
I stand so tall within the protection of my Mother's eternal love
that bridges all eternity and keeps me safe
within the circle of her ever loving arms.

... sunsets that taught me that beauty sometimes only lasts for a couple of moments, and it was sunrises that showed me that all it takes is patience to experience it all over again.
"The one I love
The one I love
She told me to fly
She taught me how to fly
The one I love

She raised me up now I can fly..."

We're taught to expect unconditional love from our parents, but I think it is more the gift our children give us. It's they who love us helplessly, no matter what or who we are.

I taught myself to live simply and wisely,
to look at the sky and pray to God,
and to wander long before evening
to tire my superfluous worries.
When the burdocks rustle in the ravine
and the yellow-red rowanberry cluster droops
I compose happy verses
about life's decay, decay and beauty.
I come back. The fluffy cat
licks my palm, purrs so sweetly
and the fire flares bright
on the saw-mill turret by the lake.
Only the cry of a stork landing on the roof
occasionally breaks the silence.
If you knock on my door
I may not even hear.
Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966)
You taught me the courage of stars before you left
How light carries on endlessly, even after death
With shortness of breath
You explained the infinite
And how rare and beautiful it is to even exist
I couldn't help but ask for you to say it all again
I tried to write it down, but I could never find a pen
I'd give anything to hear you say it one more time
That the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes
One Taught Me Love
One Taught Me Patience
And One Taught Me Pain
Now, I'm So Amazing
Say I've Loved And I've Lost
But That's Not What I See
So, Look What I Got
Look What You Taught Me
And For That, I Say
Thank You, Next (Next)
Thank You, Next (Next)
Thank You, Next
I'm So Fuckin' Grateful For My Ex !

Poor little rose, beaten by the rain
In the wind in the gale, thunder and the hail
Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane
Without the numbness or the pain so intense to feel
Especially now it added up through the years
And I, I taught myself how to grow
Without any love and there was poison in the rain
I taught myself how to grow
Now I'm crooked on the outside, and the inside's broke
Most of the time I got nothing to say
When I do it's nothing and nobody's there to listen anyway
I know I'm probably better off this way
I just listen to the voices on the TV 'til I'm tired
My eyes grow heavy and I fade away
I was taught to never just take a photo of someone else's art, but that is always OK to photograph art when presenting something other than just the art itself. It is always the point to see something with a fresh eye.
Taught me everything I know.
