an exchange between you and the landscape, in which - however unlikely this may seem - there is a dialogue between the two of you. It is simply courtesy to allow the landscape to speak :-)

Insociable et farouche, le Martin-pêcheur consacre une grande partie de ses journées à la surveillance du territoire. On l'observe le plus souvent passant en trombe, d'un vol direct comme une flèche scintillante, au-dessus de l'eau, s'arrêtant souvent sur des perchoirs favoris pour visiter ses lieux de pêche. Immobile sur son perchoir, il scrute la surface du plan d'eau en attendant patiemment qu'une proie se présente favorablement.

Unsociable and fierce, the Kingfisher devotes a large part of his days to monitoring the territory. It is most often observed whirling around, with a direct flight like a scintillating arrow, above the water, often stopping on favorite perches to visit its fishing grounds. Motionless on its perch, it scans the surface of the body of water, patiently waiting for prey to present itself favorably.

through an understanding of others and the world we inhabit. When that happens, the result, like photographs, are really the expressions of the life of the maker.

Oiseau aquatique de la taille d'une oie, le Grand Cormoran est presque complètement noir avec reflets métalliques bleutés et un peu bronze discernables à faible distance. Il se distingue des cormorans huppé et pygmée par sa taille supérieure, sa silhouette plus massive, ainsi que par une zone jaunâtre à la base du bec. Le Grand Cormoran vole souvent à bonne hauteur même au-dessus des terres et volontiers en formations en V ou en ligne, cou tendu en avant. Excellent plongeur, il est aussi à l'aise en mer qu'à terre. Pour pêcher, le grand cormoran nage très profondément dans l'eau, et parfois jusqu'à une vingtaine de mètres. Comme les autres cormorans, il nage très enfoncé dans l'eau. Son bec crochu, sorti de l'eau, prend souvent l'aspect d'un serpent. S'il est menacé, cet oiseau s'enfonce dans l'eau et ne laisse que sa tête émerger. Comme les Cormorans pygmée et huppé, il a un plumage moins étanche que celui d'autres oiseaux aquatiques. Après chaque plongée, il est obligé de se poser les ailes entrouvertes sur des pieux ou des rochers pour faire sécher son plumage au vent, souvent pendant plusieurs heures. Les Grands Cormorans vivent fréquemment en groupes. Ils se rassemblent souvent sur les bancs de sable, les récifs, les jetées, etc.

A goose-sized aquatic bird, the Great Cormorant is almost completely black with metallic bluish and tan reflections discernible at close range. It is distinguished from the crested and pygmy cormorants by its larger size, its more massive silhouette, as well as a yellowish area at the base of the beak. The Great Cormorant often flies at good height even over land and willingly in V-formations or in a line, neck stretched forward. An excellent diver, he is as comfortable at sea as on land. To fish, the great cormorant swims very deeply in the water, and sometimes up to twenty meters. Like other cormorants, it swims very deep in the water. Its hooked beak, out of the water, often takes on the appearance of a snake. If threatened, this bird sinks into the water and only lets its head emerge. Like the Pygmy and Crested Cormorants, it has less airtight plumage than that of other water birds. After each dive, it is forced to land its wings parted on stakes or rocks to dry its plumage in the wind, often for several hours. Great Cormorants frequently live in groups. They often congregate on sandbars, reefs, jetties, etc.

L'Ordre des Odonates regroupe les Libellules et les Agrions ou Demoiselles.
Ce sont tous des insectes de taille moyenne ou grande. La plus grande libellule actuelle mesure 19 cm d'envergure, celle de son ancêtre du Paléozoïque atteignait 60 cm.
Les Odonates ont de grands yeux composés et des antennes de très petite taille.
Leur appareil buccal est de type broyeur.
Les Odonates sont des prédateurs tant à l'état larvaire qu'adulte. Les 4 ailes sont de taille égale (Zygoptères) ou peu différente (Anisoptères).
L'abdomen comporte 10 segments bien apparents et un 11ème réduit.
Les larves sont aquatiques et peuvent vivre entre 1 et 3 ans.
L'accouplement se déroule en vol, le mâle tient la femelle au niveau du cou par une sorte de pince située à l'extrémité de son abdomen, la femelle courbe alors le sien vers l'avant pour mettre en contact son orifice génital terminal avec celui du mâle situé au niveau du 9ème segment.
Il y a 5700 espèces d'Odonates dans le Monde et environ 120 en Europe.

The Order of Odonata includes Dragonflies and Agrions or Damselflies.
They are all medium or large insects. The largest dragonfly today measures 19 cm in scale, that of its ancestor from the Paleozoic reached 60 cm.
Odonata have large compound eyes and very small antennae.
Their oral appliance is of the grinder type.
Odonata are predators both in larvae and in adults. The 4 wings are of equal size (Zygoptères) or little different (Anisoptères).
The abdomen has 10 clearly visible segments and a reduced 11th.
The larvae are aquatic and can live between 1 and 3 years.
Mating takes place in flight, the male holds the female at the level of the neck by a sort of forceps located at the end of his abdomen, the female then curves hers forward to bring her terminal genital orifice into contact with that of the male located at the level of the 9th segment.
There are 5700 species of Odonates worldwide and around 120 in Europe.

"Person of strong character are usually the happiest. They do not blame others for troubles that can be traced to their own actions and lack of understanding. They know that no one has the power to add to their happiness or detract from it, unless they themselves allow the adverse thoughts or wicked actions of others to affect them." P. Yogananda

When we understand the importance of living together without judgement we will have arrived at a significantly better place than we are today. It is easy to be judgmental, but what purpose does it have? If we live together in peace and allow one another to live the way we wish as long as it does not physically harm anyone, that is what we should be aiming for. Compassion, love, tolerance, understanding, acceptance, respect, equality, diversity and decency will take you a long way. Steer your children away from hate, greed, selfishness and power, this type of behavior only causes pain and sadness to so many, so let's embrace our differences. This should happen globally with all nationalities being involved. So let's get started now!
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

*Working Towards a Better World
I personally feel that if If we learn to embrace our differences we can appreciate our world better and acquire more knowledge and understanding through sharing and caring, so let us begin here!
It is a real problem, is it not? How can we come to an understanding of this utterly diverse and complicated world whilst sitting in the particularity of our home? It is true that the media, from newspapers to TV and social media, offer us a daily digest of selected information. We would, I sincerely hope, critically examine these news and think for ourselves. However, even so, we would have to deal with the selective nature of the information. We never see "the whole picture". Our knowledge, even at the best of times, is necessarily fragmentary. It is absolutely important to be aware of this limitation - it is one of the virtues that make us human.
I am saying this because AI is on the march. AI has never ever left its ivory tower, it never "left home". It never made any experiences. AI has not seen anything. It does not know how to suffer. What it does is to harvest and (often illegally) exploit printed or published materials, information it has neither created nor even collected. It does not know what it does not know. And yet AI will come up with explanations and scenarios that are untroubled by any kind of self-doubt. AI does not know when it is peddling false information. AI will interpret the world whilst staying at its "home" and will not even be aware of it. Leica M8 plus Voigtlaender 35/1.4 at approx. F8.
Let us look behind us with understanding, before us with faith, and around us with love.
Happy New Year !

This handsome wild Stallion was taken in Utah. There are many bands of wild horses in the west. My understanding is that they arrived with the Spanish and became feral over time. They are a controversial subject in that the cattle farmers feel that they compete with the sometimes meager resources available in a lot of the BLM land and argue that they eat deeper into the roots of the vegetation. My horse whisperer friends deny that and make the strong case that the where the horses have roamed for years the vegetation has remained unchanged. Water sources are often provided by the hand of man and I'm not sure how well the horses would do without our aid. In Dugway, where this image was taken, the herds have been culled due to lack of resources. Similarly, in Nevada, herd culling is always underway and the controversies and arguments there are never ending. Nevada uses prisoners to capture and break the horses for eventual resale, I hope. I think if I were serving time I'd volunteer for that job. My take is that many of these states are failing to realize the potential tourist dollars that could be earned by attracting more outdoor photographers to wild horse country. Not that I'm complaining!

un'immagine, una storia
Penso che una buona foto possa fornire una “chiave d’accesso” a un determinato argomento o situazione, ci fà chiedere cosa, dove, perchè , risveglia emozioni, pensieri, ricordi di situazioni vissute e vogliamo saperne di più .
Al tempo stesso l'attenta lettura dell'immagine, la sua analisi
estetico/tecnica può facilitare la comprensione e la memorizzazione di concetti ed eventi ....., meglio se mi fermo quà .....

an image, a story
I think a good photo can provide an “access key” to a certain topic or situation, it makes us ask what, where, why, it awakens emotions, thoughts, memories of situations experienced and we want to know more.
At the same time, the careful reading of the image, its aesthetic/technical analysis can facilitate the understanding and memorization of concepts and events, ..... better if I stop here .....

Let's keep doing everything we can to create a just world founded on kindness, compassion, and understanding.
Remember that justice grows out of recognition of ourselves in each other — that my liberty depends on you being free too.
Stay strong, and keep speaking out against all forms of injustice.

Feeling nervous about the new year, the little man tries to stop the clock…
As we head into the new year, I wish for health and happiness for you and your loved ones.
Let’s keep lifting one another up, sharing kindnesses and support, understanding that every one of us is valuable and has something important to share.
Let’s remember that together we shine so much brighter, a beacon of light and hope that reminds us and others that we are one.
Let’s keep offering one another a hand when we fall down, giving each other a little nudge when we get stuck, realizing we’re all on the same team.
Let’s keep learning, listening, encouraging, connecting, growing, inspiring, and creating.
Stay confident. Stay strong. And don’t let anything stop you from blazing your trail.
Happy New Year, everyone!

It strikes me that we humans are always arriving. Whether it be a physical arrival at our favorite beach or coffee shop, or an inner arrival as we reach some new level of understanding, it seems we're always in motion toward both known and unknown destinations. Today, Marg's plan for me is to repair myself to the yard with shovel and rake in-hand. Who knows where that will eventually take me. Probably to the medicine cabinet for a dose of pain killers.

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.
