“Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg.” ~ H. C. Andersen ~
Sometimes we just don't know what we are capable of becoming until we spread our wings.

VIEW in large to see the transformation happening:
We were back to the gannet colony on Oct 10, 26 days later than when this image was taken. There has been quite a change in the appearance of the chicks and many of them had already left the nesting rock. I believe this to be the same chick as I photographed on Oct 10th (see previous image)

Transformation. The former EC-1 power plant in Łódź. After closing, transformed into a center of science and technology.
"I suggest that the most significant basis for meeting of men of different religious traditions is the level of fear and trembling, of humility and contrition, where our individual moments of faith are mere waves in the endless ocean of mankind's reaching out for God, where all formulations and articulations appear pear as understatements, where our souls are swept away by the awareness of the urgency of answering God's commandment, while stripped of pretension and conceit we sense the tragic insufficiency of human faith." This "tragic insufficiency sufficiency of human faith," according to Heschel, coupled with an acute yearning for God's presence, could foster the spiritual companionship of "humility mility and contrition," open-mindedness, as a precondition of true interfaith dialogue.'
--Abraham Joshua Heschel, (as quoted in Edward K. Kaplan, Spiritual Radical: Abraham Joshua Heschel in America, 1940-1972)
"The supreme issue today is not the halakhah for the Jew or the Church for the Christian-but the premise underlying derlying both religions, namely, whether there is a pathos, a divine reality concerned with the destiny of man which mysteriously impinges upon history."
--Abraham Joshua Heschel, (as quoted in Edward K. Kaplan, Spiritual Radical: Abraham Joshua Heschel in America, 1940-1972)
A Golden-crowned Sparrow appeared in a local park back in November and stayed through the winter until it left sometime around second half of April. This gave an opportunity to study how the bird plumage changed over the months from basic to breeding. Here's a composite of two photos, the one on the left was taken on Nov 21 2021, whereas the second on the right was taken on April 17, 2022. The faint yellow on its crown transformed into bright yellow with black marking around the eyebrow, giving it a full adult breeding plumage. Scarborough Heights Park, Toronto, Ontario.

When the light reflects
in oh so many ways
we wander into rain
to cool our brains
and watch afar for
the sounds of
sizzling.

So, with each personal season of distress we receive the opportunity to evolve and grow. Transformation is life.

The sun is getting high enough in the sky to start burning off the heavy fog that has enveloped the Morton Arboretum on Christmas Eve, 2019. I was struck by the sense of transformation when I made this photo. Night into day. Fog into sunlight. And the last few leaves still hanging on for a bit longer despite winter's arrival with the solstice three days earlier. All life is change.
