Ugly Transformation of a Building
View allAll Photos Tagged Transformation
After spending the entire day hunting fall colors around Big Bear Lake I noticed that the only trees that looked to be at peak were the non-indiginous ones that were purchased and planted. I found this tree along the main drive and it looked to me to be confused and yet glorious in all it's shades of color which were highlighted by the piercing blue of the sky behind. I sat and stared then after a while I felt at peace and understood. Humanity has entered a time of profound change and we are all pushed by necessity and pulled by opportunity.
The push is a growing systems crisis, evident in the breakdown of financial institutions, climate change, resource depletion, unsustainable populations, and more.
The pull is the opportunity to rise to a new level of human maturity, partnership, and freedom. The combined push and pull at a global scale make this truly a time of profound turning and transformation for humanity. These powerful trends are all represented here in this one tree.

The black turnstone is slowly getting its Summer plumage. I noticed among other things that the white patch they have in their face is getting much prominent. I have been able recently to photograph them in "mutation" but I have not had a chance to process these pictures yet... I am way behind in my processing and posting... but will try to dig a picture with the Summer markings before the end of Summer or perhaps I should say before the beginning of Summer, which ever comes first :)

The wind is constantly blowing at the dunes. Each day, the footprints on the dunes are smoothed away. Each day, the dunes are reshaped. It is dusty, but beautiful. 20230618SossusvleiDune.jpg

"Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain."
Henry David Thoreau
While taking an early morning walk today, I spied this leaf at my feet. I promised I'd return and the leaf waited for me. Bliss!
Personally, I really like the transition from autumn to winter. I find a situation particularly nice when winter announces itself earlier than usual and the trees are still wearing their typical autumn dress. Like a hyper transformation.

This lovely creature was flitting around the garden at St. Benedict's Painted Church in Kona, Hawaii. It landed long enough for me to capture this image. The link below shares information about that incredible place. "We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty."

Au sortir de la baignade, pour sécher leur blanche fourrure, Anouk et Nicky, les ourses polaires du Lumigny Safari Réserve se roulent longuement au sol. Quelques minutes plus tard, elles sont presque de la couleur d' Annie et Quilia, les ourses brunes.
The story of the marble...
First, let me tell you, I lost my marbles ages ago, so this one wasn't mine to lose. It was actually mine to find. I've been a collector of sea glass for a few years and sea marbles are the beach combers holy grail.
Last Sunday I went on my normal afternoon drive and ended up in Bacon Cove. Beside being beautiful, a place named after my favourite pig product will always have a special place in my heart. But I digress. I stopped the truck on a random road, followed a random trail, and found myself on a random little beach. Everything was grey and dreary except for the sparkle of that yellow cats eye appearing and disappearing as the waves allowed. I couldn't believe my eyes so I wandered out and chased that little marble as the ocean tried to reclaim it.
The cats eye looked shiny from the salt water but as it dried the beautiful frosty sea glass look appeared. It felt smooth but I could see it was worn and no longer perfectly round.
I've had many a marble over the years but this one, transformed by the waves and grit is an absolute stunner. And despite its turbulent life, the changes have become a beautiful symbol of endurance, strength, and what it means to be a survivor.
Maybe thats the reason I collect sea glass. Every time I touch and see it, I am reminded of its inspiring story of transformation.
