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 :-)

The little artist embraces all the colors…
Skippy envisioned his universe with the help of the following vibrant creations:
8f8’s soft diversity, colour stream, their lunachair, her lunachair, his lunachair, maple divider, cypress divider, and lilac divider, which are all part of the Vivid Liveliness Collection!
And outside the window, the little man created with:
8f8’s Sakura Bride, which is part of the for a moment serenity collection!
anc’s Lavender!
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 embrace all the colors, knowing that everyone has the right to define themselves and be who they are.
Let’s keep learning, listening, encouraging, connecting, growing, inspiring, and creating.
And let's keep shining bright, my friends!
During sunset, a cloud flew in in an amazing shape (a bird, a dragon, and maybe an angel ...)
A little understanding of the physics of cloud formation underscores the complexity of the atmosphere and sheds light on why predicting weather for more than a few days is such a challenge.
Six types of clouds you can see and how they can help you understand the weather.
1) Cumulus clouds - On a sunny day, rays warm the earth, which heats the air located directly above it. The heated air rises upward due to convection and forms cumulus clouds. These “good weather” clouds are like cotton wool. If you look at the sky filled with cumulus clouds, you can see that they have a flat bottom, located at the same level for all clouds. At this altitude, air rising from ground level cools down to the dew point. It usually doesn't rain from cumulus clouds, which means the weather will be good.
2) Cumulonimbus clouds.
Small cumulus clouds do not rain, but if they grow and grow in height, it is a sign that heavy rain is coming soon. This often happens in summer when morning cumulus clouds turn into cumulonimbus during the day. Cumulonimbus clouds often have a flat top. Air convection occurs inside such a cloud, and it gradually cools until it reaches the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. At this moment, it loses its buoyancy and can no longer rise higher. Instead, it spreads out to the sides, forming the characteristic anvil shape.
3) Cirrus clouds form in very high layers of the atmosphere. They are smoky because they are composed entirely of ice crystals falling in the atmosphere. When cirrus clouds are carried by winds moving at different speeds, they take on a characteristic curved shape. And only at very high altitudes or at high latitudes, cirrus clouds give out rain that reaches the ground.
4) Stratus Clouds - A low-lying, continuous cloud sheet that covers the sky. Stratus clouds are formed by slowly rising air or gentle winds that cover the cold land or sea surface with moist air. Stratus clouds are thin, therefore, despite the gloomy picture, it is unlikely to rain from them, a little drizzle at most. Stratus clouds are identical to fog, so if you've ever walked in a mountainous area on a foggy day, you've been inside a cloud.
5) Lenticular clouds. Smooth and lenticular lenticular clouds form when air is blown up and over a mountain range, and as it travels over a mountain, the air descends to its previous level. At this time, it heats up and the cloud evaporates. But it can slip further, as a result of which the air rises again and forms another lenticular cloud. This can result in a chain of clouds extending far beyond the mountain range. The interaction of wind with mountains and other surface features is one of the many details that must be taken into account in computer simulations to obtain accurate weather predictions.
6) Kelvin - Helmholtz like a breaking ocean wave. When air masses at different heights move horizontally at different speeds, their state becomes unstable. The boundary between the air masses begins to ripple and form large waves, such clouds are quite rare.

I thought these pincushions looked rather pretty in black and white. They are white anyway. Thank you to all my Flickr friends for your continued support!!
Une de mes principales préoccupations une fois arrivé sur zone , obtenir le fameux bokeh qui finalise correctement l'image , et bien souvent au cours d'une séance ( Martin ou autre ) je déplace ma petite tente affût de quelques centimètres soit vers la droite soit vers la gauche de façon à choper le meilleur fondu coloré en arrière plan , et le tout en fonction de la position du soleil , chez moi tout est d'une grande simplicité mais basé en grande partie sur l'observation qui est l'un des maîtres mots de l'art de la photographie animalière .
PS : toute demande de partage avec un groupe sera rejetée sur le champ , je ne désire aucune publicité sur mon travail ( j'ai largement passé l'âge de recevoir des Oscars , des Bons Points et autres gamineries de ce genre ....) , merci de votre compréhension .
***********************************************************************
One of my main concerns once arriving in the area, getting the famous bokeh that correctly finalizes the image, and very often during a session (Martin or other) I move my small tent, lookout a few centimeters either to the right or to the left so as to catch the best colored fade in the background, and all depending on the position of the sun, for me everything is very simple but based largely on observation which is one of the master words of the art of animal photography.
PS: any request to share with a group will be rejected immediately, I do not want any publicity on my work (I am largely past the age of receiving Oscars, Good Points and other such nonsense ... ) , thank you for your understanding .
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.

The little prince helps to take care of the baby bears...
Skippy was inspired to create his universe with the help of two amazing new collections:
Booger's Baby Bear Day Care !
Scarlet Creative Architecture's Cordelia Chateau and Furniture!
You can pick up both sets at the Arcade!
Take care of one another, my friends.
Let's lift one another up up up.
Together we can create a universe
based on compassion and understanding!
When are we going to learn to live together in peace and understanding? Violence is NO solution. We need to share our space in this world together and make room for all of us to share with respect, friendship and love! There is NO ROOM for hate in this world, it just kills us all and creates never-ending pain and devastation. STOP the hate, START the love!!!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Those who have chosen the path of least resistance in life, who cannot bear to bring themselves to make a stern value-judgment in criticism of their own most intimate feelings, achieve what they deserve: not self-understanding but radical self-superficialization, not a discovered but a self-ascribed identity that explains nothing, reveals nothing, means nothing, and ultimately accomplishes nothing culturally or intellectually.

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.

*Working Towards a Better World
There are no magic answers, no miraculous methods to overcome the problems we face, just the familiar ones: honest search for understanding, education, organization, action that raises the cost of state violence for its perpetrators or that lays the basis for institutional change -- and the kind of commitment that will persist despite the temptations of disillusionment, despite many failures and only limited successes, inspired by the hope of a brighter future."

WINTER STAR
Dedicated to our dear friend Dave Senior, RIP Dear Heart
Hello my friend, my soul aches
At finding you still in pain
But what better symbol
Could you have been for me then?
Sacrifice, resurrection and beginning again
Once I had seen you I could not stop
Every time I came here I seemed to cry a lot
Calling your name endlessly out loud
With the taste of copper in my mouth
You put up with my rages, regrets and frustrations
Letting me see your leaves shiver with sensation
Against the sliding metallic sheen of this night
The air like rippling silver shards
Cutting into me like glass
Piercing my heart until I could see a thousand stars
You were so human I wondered if you would
Reach down and place your boughs around me
But you were also tied in your own way
Caught up, longing to be free
Twisting in the wind
Masquerading as a tree
Just as I wander in this twilight world
Never really quite understanding
Why you have so much love for me
*****
This work is another in my series of The Christ Tree poems, and I am including it here in this most recent series of images as a dedication to a dear friend of ours who we heard had passed away suddenly, unexpectedly, while we were recovering from Covid.
Dave Senior was a gentle, kind man, an incredibly talented designer and illustrator, and we will miss him terribly. Dave always encouraged and supported my work, and I will miss his quiet guidance. Our thoughts are with his family.
Dave found his own healing in the natural world, and I am sure he is following his own river, down to the sea.
With this work I have paired U2’s ‘One Tree Hill’, an early, emotive, live version.
And if you would like to see more of my work, please have a look at my website:
Let us look behind us with understanding, before us with faith, and around us with love.
Happy New Year !

Europe, Spain, Valencia, Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, Museo de las Ciencias Príncipe Felipe, Saurus skeleton
Let’s return to delightful Valencia and the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias.
As you probably know, the architecture of Santiago Calatrava is based on biomorphic shapes, skeletal structures are his thing. Whereas the Estação de Oriente is based on a whale, the ‘Turning torso’ in Malmö (Sweden) on a man, the morphology of the Museo de las Ciencias Príncipe Felipe seems to be based on creatures of the Jurassic era.
The Museo is a wonderful science, biology and environment museum. Full interactivity is one of its features, the motto of which is “Forbidden not to touch, not to feel, not to think”.
And indeed, visiting is an engaging delight. It’s located in "The City of Arts and Sciences (Valencian: Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències. Spanish: Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, a cultural and architectural quarter which formed one of the reason why we at last visited Valencia (the other reason was the spectacular ‘Fallas’). It's near the old riverbed of the river Turia, which was drained and rerouted after a catastrophic flood in 1957, and turned into a lovely park. The Ciutat’ is also designed by Santiago Calatrava (and Félix Candela) and opened in April, 1998.
True to the legacy of the star architect/engineer, it costed nearly three times the initially expected cost of €300 million and almost bankrupted the region.
Inside the Museo is the skeleton of a family member of the dinosaur and the relation between it keleton and Calatrava’s architecture is probably immediately obvious.
This is number 278 of Museum.

My eldest offspring (being an archeologist) gave me a deeper understanding of the construction and self demolition of Norman churches during a Father’s Day outing.
"Love your solitude and try to sing out with the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far away... and this shows that the space around you is beginning to grow vast.... be happy about your growth, in which of course you can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind; be confident and calm in front of them and don't torment them with your doubts and don't frighten them with your faith or joy, which they wouldn't be able to comprehend. Seek out some simple and true feeling of what you have in common with them, which doesn't necessarily have to alter when you yourself change again and again; when you see them, love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent toward those who are growing old, who are afraid of the aloneness that you trust.... and don't expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

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 .....

Of all the gifts we can give to people, the gift of our touch is one of the most priceless. Through our hands we convey a kind of radiance. A warmth seeps out from our inner fire, a wrap for someone's chill, a light for another's dark.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

My trip to the mountains in high Atlas region
(January – March 1989)
First of all, I ask for your understanding because of the poor image quality, but there is a simple reason: The photo was taken in 1989 and I digitized it about 10 years ago. The camera I had with me at that time was my first own one. It was a nice analog Nikon pocket camera. I wanted to mention this briefly, not that you guys think I recently bought a cheaper camera. I wish I could offer you a better image quality. (Sometimes it's good to look at pictures from a distance. In this case it is highly recommended.)
The longing and love for the mountains accompanied me from the time on when I was in my younger ages. The long-awaited trip to North Africa on a motorbike began in 1989. It was freezing cold in Switzerland when my best friend and I at that time set out for Morocco, our first destination in the north part of Africa. The way led via France, Spain and then by ferry to Morocco. We knew of the diversity of this beautiful Land, which had large desert areas, different sea coasts and high mountains. The mountains of the Atlas fascinated us most, because where can you see snow mountains and wonderful deserts at the same time? The biggest mountains of the high Atlas area are over 4000m above sea level, as high as the Alps in Switzerland. The drive there was very arduous and also very dangerous, because there were practically only bad roads (sand slopes) on this way, without any safety precautions. An accident there would have been terrible, far away from civilization. (At that time there existed neither a smartphone nor a navigation system.) We reached the highest point with our motorbikes at about 2800m above sea level. It took us a whole day to get there and back to our starting point. We only met a handful of people on the whole way. The view from up there was so impressive and beautiful and it strengthened my close connection with nature and especially with the mountain world. This photo was taken on the way to the highest point, when we drove through the last small village, or what is left of it. This trip to the biggest mountains in Morocco is deeply engraved in my memory and it still moves me today as it did then. To be dependent on one another, to go through thick and thin, to help one another, can rely one hundred percent on each other, to forego safety and comfort and to be real friends - all of this has shaped my life to this day. I am so infinitely grateful that I dared this great adventure with my best friend I ever had when I was a young man. We both came home healthy to Switzerland, crossing also Algeria and Tunisia, after thousands of kilometers by motorbikes...and life goes on...
I thought for a long time whether I should share my personal story and this picture with you or not? But I found that I should do it for all of my dear friends I got on flickr. It's a part of me, of my younger years, when I traveled the world carefree and uncomplicated. Finally, it was my wish to share this story with all of you. I was able to learn so much from it and it were my children who kept asking me what I had experienced on this trip and on others as well. Thank you for listening.
By the way: I have remained a passionate Biker to this day and I love to drive into the mountains of the Swiss Alps.
Sometimes I look back at my life and I'm seriously impressed that I'm still alive.
At the time when I set out to discover the world, this song was a great success and tells of the trip to foreign countries. I remember like it was just yesterday. I have tears in my eyes ...

Understanding my roll.
When our first grandchild was born, my son’s family was stationed at NAS Pax River Maryland. We made the drive from Indiana to Maryland as often as possible and they the reverse. August was a beautiful baby boy who looked and acted like every other baby…like a little humanoid who had lots of intake and the smelliest of outgo. When it comes to babies…until they are old enough and can be responsible for their own head and neck, well let’s just say that holding one makes me as nervous as being wrapped up like a mummy utilizing live Boa constrictors! Scratch that as it is an exaggeration…I would prefer the boa’s!
I do not remember his exact age but I would guess it was around a year and a half old and they were in town for a visit. It was a beautiful spring/summer day and August and I were walking around the front yard, just exploring and enjoying time together. As we walked hand in hand, we came upon a bush. I have no idea what type of bush it was, even though it was part of our landscaping. It was both yellow and green, the type that looked a bit sharp but wasn’t.
We stopped and were looking at the bush when August without a word spoken looked up into my eyes. Instantly I knew his question and I said “You can touch it.” He gently reached out and started feeling the texture of a single branch, and smiled. It was at that exact moment, as if hit by lightning, that I felt like a grandfather for the first time…accepting responsibility for one of my roles in his life, to assist with discovery.
Fast forward seven years and I am at Custer SP photographing bison when I notice this little one. Its nose was inches from the ground and a few feet away from a lone blue flower. It moved from side to side, eyed fixed on the flower as if it was wondering what it was…a bit curious, a bit hesitant. A few seconds passed before it worked up the courage to approach the flower. When it bowed down to ascertain its fragrance, I took this photo.
Watching this bison reminded me of the thrill, the absolute blessing of discovery…making this shot a personal favorite from this trip!
