For the singularity of understanding, each comprehends the others as itself in a flow of spacetime. We are as one with the things around - each is no thing but its understanding with the others - each a symbol of the others.

Here is Vincent's Cypress tree through my 18mm Nikkor lens shortly after sunrise. Like all superwide angle lenses with large hemispherical front elements, optical aberrations result when strong directional light reaches the front element unshaded. The most intense source of direct light that I have access to is just behind the branch on the right, and it is causing the orange and yellow blobs you see. This is called ghosting, fitting for a tree inhabited by a Dutch painter thats been dead since 1890! Reminds me of a quote: "To understand blue you must first understand yellow and orange". I am beginning to understand!
“You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control.”

If my understanding is correct this is a non-breeding adult. It bears a numbered metal leg band so is likely to come from a local breeding community. I have sought advice.

Introduction
The Word of God in the Last Days "God's Work, God's Disposition, and God Himself III" (Part Five)
God's words in this video are from the book "The Word Appears in the Flesh".
The content of this video:
9. Jesus Performs Miracles
1) Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
2) The Resurrection of Lazarus Glorifies God
Almighty God says, "When the Lord Jesus brought Lazarus back from the dead, He used one line: “Lazarus, come forth.” He said nothing aside from this—what do these words represent? They represent that God can accomplish anything through speaking, including resurrecting a dead man. When God created all things, when He created the world, He did so with words. He used spoken commands, words with authority, and just like that all things were created. It was accomplished like that. This single line spoken by the Lord Jesus was just like the words spoken by God when He created the heavens and earth and all things; it equally held the authority of God, the ability of the Creator. All things were formed and stood fast because of words from God’s mouth, and just the same, Lazarus walked out from his tomb because of the words from the Lord Jesus’ mouth. This was the authority of God, demonstrated and realized in His incarnate flesh. This type of authority and ability belonged to the Creator, and to the Son of man in whom the Creator was realized. This is the understanding taught to mankind by God bringing Lazarus back from the dead."

There is always a bit of a gamble to visit the Vatican museums, because you never know which rooms and departments that will be closed for the day - but if you're lucky you can at least look into the room. This is what happened with the Chariot room, also known as 'Sala della biga' (named after the Roman chariot sculpture on display here - the sculpture originally dates to the first century A.D., but it was heavily restored in 1788). This room was built in the late 18th century in a neo-classical style and also contains one of the Roman marble copies (after a Greek bronze original) of the Discobolus by Myron, found at Hadrian's villa at Tivoli. It would of course have been nice to see these pieces a bit more up close, but on the other hand this meant that you got a better understanding of the whole room and that was quite special too!
I don't know that I was ever as excited about a thick and obscuring fog as I was on this morning in Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park as I went along the Damnation Creek Trail. Nearly every turn greeted me with more jaw-dropping wonder and mystery. I'm not sure a smile left my face for hours. I've shared photos and a video from here already, and I will certainly continue to do so in coming weeks!

Our Mother of Sorrows Catholic Church and School: 1967-2009
September 15th is the memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows. Simeon predicted that a sword would pierce Mary’s heart (Luke 2:35) and the Church honors her seven sorrows. There have been two churches with this title in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, one in Monroe and the other in Roselawn, pictured above, which closed in 2009. Take from The Catholic Telegraph issue dated 28 September 1967, the caption reads,
“Archbishop Karl J. Alter addresses parishioners at the newly renovated Our Mother of Sorrows Church, Cincinnati [Roselawn]. The school cafeteria was converted into a church to accommodate a larger number of persons. Parishioners performed most of the work, according to Father Andrew J. Hoying, pastor. The dedication ceremony was held on the feast of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Sept. 15.”

In the serene embrace of Raven Hollow, nestled amidst the majestic grandeur of the Rocky Mountains, registered Campion mare #0050, Aetheriel Moonmaiden, affectionately known by her caretakers as Selûne, found herself embarking on a new chapter of her journey. Having already been gently introduced to the nuances of human interaction and the rudiments of saddle training by her former caretaker, Selûne's transition into her new abode was marked by a seamless fusion of familiarity and novelty.
Amidst the tranquil ambiance of Raven Hollow, where the Ravens croaked of ancient secrets and the gentle rustle of leaves provided a soothing backdrop, Selûne gracefully integrated herself into the tapestry of equine companionship. Here, amidst the company of kindred spirits, she found solace and camaraderie, her past experiences serving as a solid foundation upon which to build new bonds.
As she roamed the verdant meadows alongside her newfound companions, Selûne reveled in the sense of belonging that enveloped her. Each hoofbeat resonated with a quiet sense of purpose, each glance exchanged with her fellow equines spoke volumes of shared experiences and unspoken understanding.
Despite the challenges she had faced in the past, the arduous trials of herd roundup and the uncertainties of change, Selûne embraced her newfound sanctuary with a quiet resilience. Here, amidst the tranquil beauty of Raven Hollow, she found not just a refuge, but a place to call home—a sanctuary where she could rest her weary soul and bask in the warmth of newfound companionship.
And so, as the sun peaked out above the mountains, casting a revitalizing golden hue upon the landscape, Selûne set off amidst the rolling hills of the large grassy turnout, her heart filled with excitement for the beautiful shared space she now found herself in. In the welcoming embrace of Raven Hollow, surrounded by nature and the comforting presence of her fellow equines, she knew that she had found her place in the world—a place where she could thrive, grow, and find solace still in the familiar beauty of the natural world.

Weather lore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Red sky at night
"Red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning" first appeared in the bible in the Gospel of Matthew. It is an old weather saying often used at sunrise and sunset to signify the changing sky and originally known to help the shepherds prepare for the next day's weather. Despite there being global variations in this saying such as "Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky in morning, sailors warning", the scientific understanding behind such occurrences remain the same.
Weather lore is the body of informal folklore related to the prediction of the weather.
It has been a human desire for millennia to make accurate weather predictions. Oral and written history is full of rhymes, anecdotes, and adages meant to guide the uncertain in determining whether the next day will bring fair or foul weather. For the farmer wanting to plant crops, for the merchant about to send ships on trade, foreknowledge of tomorrow's circumstances might mean the difference between success and failure. Prior to the invention of the mercury barometer, it was very difficult to gather numerical data of any predictive value. Even though there were devices such as the weather stick which gave some indication of moisture changes, the only instrument of any reliability was human experience.
"The understanding of the self is the beginning of the cessation of isolation, and therefore of loneliness." -J. Krishnamurti
"What is important, then, is not to overcome loneliness, but to understand it, and we cannot understand it if we do not face it, if we do not look it directly, if we are continually running away from it. And our whole life is a process of running away from loneliness, is it not? In relationship we use others to cover up loneliness; our pursuit of knowledge, our gathering of experience, everything we do, is distraction, an escape from the emptiness."

UPDATE – Oct. 14th
I know it’s been a LONG time since I’ve posted something on here, and I know people have been asking for updates (rightly so) – so I figured I’d provide some in a simple post here.
Two things must be made clear first – 1) my printer, who I’ve worked with forever and who produces the best prints of any printer I’ve worked with, has become very successful this past year and as such is trying to catch up with the growth of their business. As such, their times to process orders has more than tripled since the beginning of the year. This has caused many of the prints and test prints, etc. to be delayed by more than 2 months each. So things are slower to get printed now than ever before. 2) we are very close to getting our setup exactly as we need it with the injection mold company that we work with so that our parts are to the exact specifications and quality that we want, and that you expect. The injection molding process, and learning what is needed to create good parts, has been a huge learning process for us. The good news is that after months and months of working and tweaking things, we are very close to having our first parts (for Night Crusader and Original Super Soldier – and 1 surprise figure) ready to send to the printer.
With that being said, here’s some updates on some figs coming soon…
Homemade Arachnid Hero
Our first update will be for all those who ordered the Homemade Arachnid Hero. We are anticipating that this figure will be sent out to our presales customers and resellers the last weekend of October (2 weeks from now) and will go on sale on the website a week or two after that. We will try to post pictures as soon as he arrives.
Night Crusader
The test prints for the Night Crusader have been finalized and approved and we are all ready to go to print it. I usually don’t share pictures of the figures before they are completed, but since you all have been waiting so patiently for this figure, I thought I’d bend at least one rule to make you feel confident in your upcoming fig). However, we are awaiting the injection molded parts to arrive, so that we can align the head print exactly with the cowl part (we want to make sure his eyes are aligned correctly in those hole). We received the most recent samples from the mold and we still need to make a couple of final adjustments, so that it is to the exact quality that I know we all expect from the top customizers. He should be completed before Black Friday (week of Thanksgiving), if everything goes to plan. I will post an update if that is any sooner.
Original Super Soldier
The custom helmet part is being completed at the same time as the Night Crusader cowl, as they share the same mold, and as such is facing many of the same needs for updated changes. However, we are still also processing the prints still for this figure. The hope is that this will be available a couple weeks after Night Crusader is released.
Surprise New Figure
Along with the Original Super Soldier, we will be releasing a third, not yet published custom figure that will include 1 custom headpiece and a printed accessory. I think you guys should be very happy and surprised by this guy – can’t wait to show you! When the part is completed and we send him in for printing, we’ll provide a render of him to let you know what’s coming!
That’s all for now. I would first and foremost like to thank you all for your unwavering patience and kind understanding while I bring Phoenix Customs to a new era of custom figs. However, this kind of growth is not without hiccups and challenges, that is for sure. What IS for sure, is that we are not going to be bringing about products that can’t compete with the best out there. We will NOT sacrifice quality. We want to bring our figures to the next evolution, where unique custom parts and top quality printing go hand-in-hand. We can’t wait to bring these pre-ordered figs to life in the next couple months and to show you what we have in store for the coming months of the new year! So many good figs that I can’t wait to release!!
Take care!

Priest and adepts of the temple of thunder (Benin)
The Thunder Temple is a sacred place devoted to Hevioso, the powerful god of thunder, justice, and fertility in Vodun tradition.
Known as the bringer of storms and balance, Hevioso's might is said to strike like lightning, both metaphorically and literally.
In this spiritual practice, those struck by lightning are considered to have been directly touched by the god. Some believe it is a sign of punishment, while others see it as a divine calling.
The Thunder Temple is not just a place of worship; it’s a gateway to understanding the Vodun belief system, where nature’s fury is seen as sacred and life is deeply intertwined with the elements.

I would imagine that ancient man got a bit perplexed and even terrified by the aurora. It might have meant good tidings. It might have meant the opposite, depending on the culture. It's an awe inspiring sight, whatever era it happens in, though. And in this case, we were fortunate to stumble upon an unexpected display as we arrived to shoot Mount Hood and Trillium Lake here in Oregon. I'm starting to use more layers and masks in these types of shots, in this case curves and contrast masks on the sky and foreground. I'm not sure if there's a big difference in the final outcome compared with processing it as a single image through Lightroom and Photoshop, but I think it's at least a subtle improvement, even if the mask edges are a bit rough.
Thanks for viewing!
