It is said that the American Avocet brings elegance in the bird world to a new level. This image taken in the mangroves of the Ten Thousand Islands in SW Florida highlights this.
I grow plants for many reasons: to please my eye or to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow.~ David Hobson

🎶 BOYCE AVENUE - A THOUSAND YEARS - CHRISTINA PERRI COVER
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One thousand suns exploded in the night sky as we watched in silent wonder.

The rookery at Avery Island, LA is known as "Bird City" and was created as a bird colony in the 1890's.
There are platforms built over the water (above the alligators) and lined with the locally grown bamboo.
This forms the base for the nests where the Egrets will breed and raise their little ones....
Each Spring...it becomes home to tens of thousands of birds, with a particular emphasis on Great White Egrets.
It's amazing to watch them nest-building, breeding, preening, & tending to their young. Such a sight to see !
Thanks for taking a look.
Have a great Saturday and beginning to our Memorial Day Weekend. It'll be a special one for sure..........

Just a little refinement on a Sunday afternoon. This was shot at Boldt Castle in Thousand Islands, NY.
El teatro Thang Long Water ofrece uno de los espectáculos más distintivos de la cultura vietnamita: el teatro con marionetas acuáticas. Se trata de un arte milenario que se practicaba en el delta del río Rojo hace más de mil años y que ha perdurado hasta la actualidad. El origen de este teatro se remonta a siglos atrás (s. XI) donde empezaron a ser muy comunes por todo el país con compañías de teatro que viajaban recorriendo los pueblos y las ciudades. Desde la antigüedad, la temática de estas representacio siempre ha sido la misma, contar las escenas del dia a dia de la gente local y servir para transmitir de manera oral la historia del país, con sus leyendas y mitos.
The Thang Long Water Theater offers one of the most distinctive performances of Vietnamese culture: the theater with water puppets. It is an ancient art that was practiced in the Red River delta more than a thousand years ago and has lasted until today. The origin of this theater dates back centuries (11th century) where they began to be very common throughout the country with theater companies that traveled to towns and cities. Since ancient times, the theme of these representations has always been the same, telling the scenes of the daily life of the local people and serving to orally transmit the history of the country, with its legends and myths.

I went back to Miami and finally got some nice perspectives of Dame Zaha Hadid's building. Previously the sidewalk views were closed due to construction.
The lines and curves are spectacular, as you can see.
(I'll visit when I can. Those 13 hour drives are exhausting, especially in a U-Haul)

A Thousand Years - Sting
A thousand years, a thousand more
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths
A million names but only one truth to face
A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point, this single flame
This single haunted memory of your face
I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
And on and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
'Til you love me
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more...
La nuit a mille yeux
La noche tiene mil ojos
夜晚有千眼
De nacht heeft duizend ogen
Die Nacht hat tausend Augen
Η νύχτα έχει χιλιάδες μάτια
La notte ha mille occhi
夜には千の目がある
रात में एक हजार आंखें हैं

“I've lived my life walking through a dream
For I knew that I would find this moment supreme
A night of bliss and tender sighs
And the smiling down of a thousand eyes
A night of bliss and tender sighs
And the smiling down of a thousand eyes
The Night has a Thousand Eyes !”

Michael Wolf
Life in cities
Michael Wolf (born 1954 in Munich) is a German artist and photographer lives and works in Hong Kong and Paris. His work focuses on the life in big cities.
For the first time ever, working in close collaboration with the Hague Museum of Photography, the Rencontres d’Arles is presenting a selective overview of the autonomous works created by Wolf. Wolf’s key 21st-century theme is “life in cities”, as he observes it in vast metropolises like Tokyo, Hong Kong and Chicago. The striking feature of these impressive series is the changing points of view adopted by the artist in order to show the complexity of modern city life.
The magnum opus of the exhibition is The Real Toy Story installation (2004), featuring over 20,000 plastic “Made in China” toys found by him in junk markets and second-hand shops in the United States. Amid this overwhelming array of mass-produced stuff for kids, Michael Wolf shows sympathetic portraits of individual Chinese assembly-belt workers producing toys to satisfy the manic worldwide demand for cheap consumer goods.
A n unimaginable exhibition ! He has also captured thousands of people living in 32 feet square ! After this visit, we're very happy to come back home !
As mentioned on episode 01, Thousand Islands consists of a string of 110 islands stretching 45 km (28 mi) north into the Java Sea at West Jakarta Bay and north of Banten Province. The beauty level of Thousand Islands are vary: not beautiful, mediocre, beautiful, very beautiful, and more. The farther to north, the more beautiful the island become. I've explored some islands of Thousand Islands and this is the northest and most beautiful island of thousands island in my opinion :)
See you next week, or after next week. Have a great weekend my friends :)

Thousand Islands Trip Episode 08 - Beautiful Thousands Island
This is a Venetian Pitcher made on the Island of Murano. It is a popular Murano technique called Millefiori (a thousand flowers) which was invented by Murano Glass masters centuries ago. It is crafted entirely by hand and is created from hundreds of unique colorful millefiori pieces fused together under high temperature in a special furnace. We were fortunate to take a tour to this glass factory and watch the masters at work. This little vase is 5" tall and 4" at it's widest part. This shot is taken looking into the pitcher.

Revelation 20:1-3
New International Version
The Thousand Years
20 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
Have you ever looked in my eyes?
I guess you didn't.
Because all the stories are inside my eyes.
A thousand words can't be tell, even with myself.

Here's a "tasty" image for you today of some Red Vines. No, not the candy, I'm afraid. These vines love to grow along chainlink fences, but create the most delightful subjects come autumn. It's not just the brilliant red color (though that helps), but also the great contrast of the dark fence that creates a great amount of contrast. Though the focus system of the 5D Mark IV doesn't seem radically different on paper, it is actually vastly improved in every area, and it's a treat to finally have DPAF on a full frame body.

Third of my reflection theme series. These past few weeks have been incredibly rewarding in creating my reflection theme series. With this particular piece, I've been able to appreciate the serenity and grandeur of the moon, as it casts its enchanting spell on the night sky. Its power to transform the atmosphere into something mesmerizing is simply awe-inspiring.
