I understand that sculptures may not be the most exciting subject matter. However, when I had just got my camera I went to the local art museum to do some ”target practice”. I published some of those shots here and when I recently reviewed them, I felt that I’d missed some obvious angles and that I could perhaps do better. So, here I present a couple of new pictures that I hope improve upon my previous attempts. Feedback is always welcome. Thanks.

However, I understand Common Redpolls visit here as well as Alaska. This is a March snowy scene from 2013 during a Common Redpoll and Pine Siskin irruption. Bliss!

Many thanks for looking.

Does anybody understand the reason because I had the very most on my photos in Explore until May and from that day none of my pictures has been included in it?.... none!. I can understand a change of the algorithm, but this is too radical for that... it sounds me bad... But anyway, the number of visits is te same, so many thanks, my friends! Look at this link

¿Alguien puede explicarme por qué hasta Mayo me entraban casi todas las fotos en el Explore y a partir de esa fecha ninguna ha estado ahí?... ninguna! Puedo entender un cambio en el algoritmo, pero es demasiado radical para ello, suena feo, la verdad... De todos modos, el número de visitas sigue prácticamente igual, muchas gracias a todos los que os pasáis! Mirad este enlace:

In moments like this I understand, that ancient people saw so many magic in the rules of nature. One of this fantastic moments is the formation of colours out of nothing.

When I arrived here everything around me was covered with darkness, with black. If there was any colour than it were only tones of gray. With the passage of time, when the first silhouettes of the hills in the valley were vissible, there was blue as well. But not only one blue, there were uncountable shades of it. Than, there was the big bang, the sunrise, and all of a sudden the colours were exloding everywhere. The world was coloured.

This is, in the true sence of the world, an everyday process what I'm able to explain physically, off course. But its still a miracle.

 

In solchen Momenten kann ich verstehen, dass frühere Völker sehr viel Magie in den Gesetzen der Natur gesehen haben. Einer dieser fantastischen Momente ist die Entstehung von Farben aus dem Nichts.

Bei meiner Ankunft war alles um mich herum in Dunkelheit, in schwarz gehüllt. Wenn überhaupt, dann waren nur Grautöne erkennbar. Mit der Zeit, als sich im Tal die ersten Silhouetten der Berge zeigten kam plötzlich das Blau hinzu. Doch nicht nur ein Blau sondern unzählige verschiedene Schattierungen. Dann kam es zum großen Knall, dem Sonnenaufgang, und mit einem mal explodierten überall die Farben und strahlen um die Wette. Die Welt war bunt.

Das ist im wahrsten Sinne ein absolut alltäglicher Vorgang, den ich natürlich physikalisch erklären kann. Doch es ist auch ein Wunder.

We’re coming to understand this incredible intelligence. Silence is God’s language. If you just be silent you pick up by osmosis God’s attitude We’re dealing with an infinite intelligence that is totally penetrated by a love that is probably inconceivable to us. And its coming to understand the stages of this love that are available to human beings that is the work of contemplation. It’s not just a method of prayer. In fact, it goes beyond all methods. It’s a relationship hence, it has a spontaneity that begins perhaps first in prayer for most people, then begins to weave its way into all kinds of activity that seem most trivial. One begins to see that God is in everything, and perceive the goodness of everything for that very reason. And as this forms, you feel a deeper silence that might be called spaciousness. There’s nothing, except a certain vibrancy and aliveness You’re awake!! But awake to what, you don’t know. But you’re awake to something that is absolutely marvelous and totally generous. And manifests itself with increasing tenderness and sweetness and intimacy. So one feels embraced by God interiorly or kissed or held. The divine grace has us looking at life from the perspective of divine wisdom. The only condition is to give consent. To say “Yes”.

Feeling the connection with the Birches...with the Birch people. -

I like how the author of the book refers trees as someone, not as something.

 

I have fond memories from when I was about 5, 6 years old of seeing the birch trees, feeling like I'm there, with them. I used to say to my parents, always, when we passed the birches 'look, there is me'. And I remember I didn't quite understand what I meant by that. But it felt right.

  

So, since I was a kid, my favorite tree is a Birch. Always.

It gives me hope. And love.

 

Birches are so fragile, are so easily broken, but they don't give up on growing...

If you have any thoughts on Birches, any stories, memories, knowledge, anything that you hold close to you, feel free to share it with me. I would love to read from you, what an impact have those magical trees on you.

Have a beautiful weekend,

I understand my family and I were very lucky tourists the day we saw this beauty. First, the trail we wanted to hike was closed because the company only gives night hike tours as far as we could tell upon arrival. There wasn't anyone at reception and there wasn't any information to read about the operation hours of the trail.

 

However, as luck was on our side, an employee stopped by for a moment and we asked if we could hike on our own. So the employee made a call and said yes, we can go and only charged us eight dollars each.

 

During that hike we saw a lot of Blue Morpho butterflies flitting about and other butterflies but I don't know what those were. We also got to watch leaf cutter ants as they marched from the leaves to the ant hill. That ant hill is enormous.

 

Not far into the hike, this guy started calling and of course we followed the calls. He was pretty far up in the tree but I did manage to get a couple of images before he flew out of sight.

 

We mentioned the sighting to a tour guide on a different hike and he stated that people come from all over the world to try and see this bird. However, most of the tourists go home with out even a glimpse of him. The tour guide was excited for us and said like most tourists, he has not seen one except in photographs.

 

So yes indeed, my family and I feel very fortunate for having the opportunity to see and hear this beauty in the wild.

 

May good fortune be with you today and always. Happy snapping.
