PETER:
Today is International Read a Faerie Tale Day 2024
Will you read me the story of the Frog King Oleg?
OLEG:
I'm not very good at reading a story aloud, then you should ask Paddy or Orson for it.

PETER:
Please Oleg...You just have to read out the beginning and the end of the story.
OLEG:
Well...give me that book then
(Oleg starts reading)
Once upon a time there was a princess
PETER:
The princess is Princess Rosie
OLEG:
Ok...again
Once upon a time, there was a princess called Rosie.
Princess Rosie, when it is hot, often goes to play by the well under the old lime tree in the dark forest near the castle. There it is cool. Princess Rosie often plays with a golden ball and one day the ball falls into a deep well. A frog hears her crying and wants to get the ball out of the well for her. He wants friendship with Princess Rosie as a reward
The frog gives her the ball and Princess Rosie runs away without saying anything.
PETER:
My princess Rosie would never do that
OLEG:
I tell on
The next day, the frog stands at the door of the castle and is let in
by the princess's father. Princess Rosie and the frog eat together from a golden plate and she takes the frog to her bedroom.
When the frog accidentally touches her cheek, it turns into a beautiful prince
PETER:
That's me, that's me!!! I am the prince
OLEG:
The prince....eh...I mean Prince Peter and Princess Rosie fall in love and they lived happily ever after.
PETER:
How could I be a frog
I don't get that.
OLEG:
Well....an ugly old witch had turned the prince into a frog and only the princess could free him from the well.
PETER:
Hehe...that witch was you Oleg
OLEG:
Peter!!! I am not old and ugly
PETER:
If you look angry you are
Can you read that last line again Oleg
Oleg reads the last line again.
PETER:
One more time Oleg!
OLEG:
Now I think it's enough
Thank you www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/ for the use of Rosie's image in my photo montage.
While at Havasupai, we had a wonderful time exploring some of the falls outside of the main areas. This is one of my favorites. The clear blue water cascades through travertine pools with lush surroundings of fern, moss, water lettuce, and various aquatic weeds. Twelve hours later, these falls had completely changed. Stay tuned tomorrow for the post flood transformation!
While I was driving home from church, reflecting on troubles and peace in the past week, cloudy skies began to break, with light again shining. Wintering trees lifted branches in praise or prayer. I stopped my car to capture this picture. The following song played on the radio: Unbroken - "The Cure" - www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JKXhxFwVZc
We're all related, brothers and strangers
The king and the beggar bleed the same
We've all got a sickness, a terminal condition
We medicate it but the pain won't go away
See the eyes of a million faces
Looking for it in a million places
Only one can save us, Jesus
You are the cure
Everybody's searching for it
Everybody's reaching out
Trying to grab a hold of something real
You are the cure
Only you can satisfy us
Fill up the void inside us
Never been a heart you couldn't heal
Romans 12:2
Do not allow this world to mold you in its own image. Instead, be transformed from the inside out by renewing your mind. As a result, you will be able to discern what God wills and whatever God finds good, pleasing, and complete.

Lemme know what you guys think! :)

P.S. Sorry its not much!
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)

So far, the hominid seemed to anticipate the taking possession of himself. But as, in complete silence, a transformation begins, TiC suddenly hears an increasing rattling sound coming from deep down:
"A pupa (Latin pupa for doll, pl: pupae or pupas) is the life stage of some insects undergoing transformation. The pupal stage is found only in holometabolous insects, those that undergo a complete metamorphosis, going through four life stages; embryo, larva, pupa and imago."
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“Nature often holds up a mirror so we can see more clearly the ongoing processes of growth, renewal, and transformation in our lives.”

"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)

VIEW in large to see the transformation happening:
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.
S Barciński in 1884 founded a woolen factory at 6 Tylna Street, and two years later a woolen and semi-woolen spinning mill, weaving and finishing shop was established - one of the first electrically illuminated enterprises in Łódź.
Currently, the area of the Barciński Park housing estate. A successful example of revitalizing former factory areas.

I feel that butterlies perfectly represent the New Year or rather the change from one year to the next. It's rather funny how so much emphasis gets put on the changing of a calendar, does that much change from Dec 31 to January 1st?
While butterflies represent the new year, to me they also act as a metaphor to my own year it seems. I feel like I've made a slight transformation from hobbiest photographer to deciding to make art my priority and call myself an artist. It's been a crazy year full of all sorts of wonderful and unexpected twists and turns but that's what makes life so interesting!
No more oppression!

Butterflies represent transformation. I have been seeing a lot of butterflies lately and saw this when visiting Mall of America in Minneapolis.
