“In a cool solitude of trees
Where leaves and birds a music spin,
Mind that was weary is at ease,
New rhythms in the soul begin.
- In a Cool Solitude of Trees”

Sweet Blondie was taking a moment for herself between being a nursing mom and finding food for herself to just lay down and rest against a pine tree.
- Toc, toc, toc !
- C'est qui ?
- C'est l'automne, je peux entrer ?
- Non, la place est prise. Je suis l'été et j'y reste.
- Mais j'ai rendez-vous, ici, très bientôt.
- Bientôt, ce n'est pas maintenant. Repassez plus tard !
- Mais j'ai déjà déposé quelques affaires à moi, je les enlève ?
- Non, mais qu'avez-vous à nous offrir, que savez-vous faire ?
- Je suis peintre, je mets de la couleur partout, du rouge, du jaune, de l'ocre. Je suis chorégraphe, aussi, je prépare le ballet des feuilles.
- En outre, je tricote pour la nature.
- Du tricot ???
- Oui, je confectionne des écharpes de brume pour en tapisser le creux des vallons, le matin et des pulls de laine pour emmitoufler les humains car j'amène la fraicheur avec moi.
- Ah, je comprends mieux ma lassitude de ces derniers jours. Est-ce que je vais mourir ? j'ai peur...
- Non, car vous reviendrez l'année prochaine. Je viens juste apporter un peu de repos à la nature. Après tout, on lui en demande beaucoup, alors, elle a bien le droit de se reposer. Et quand je partirai, elle dormira.
- Donc, si je comprends bien, ce n'est pas la finitude ?
- Non, juste une lassitude, une grande fatigue après un long travail, comme les humains qui dorment la nuit. N'ayez crainte, j'amène de belles lumières douces et puis.....il y a les violons, aussi !
- Les violons ?
-Oui, souvenez-vous du poète : "Les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne blessent mon coeur d'une langueur monotone....."
sauf que moi, je préfère dire qu'ils bercent les sens.
This pair of older bison had just swum across Yellowstone's Firehole River and we're catching their breath. They were exhausted, wet and muddy. Old timers. They recovered eventually and mosied along to newer pastures.
Your visits, comments, faves and support are always appreciated!
Oh, I am very weary, Though tears no longer flow; My eyes are tired of weeping, My heart is sick of woe.
Anne Bronte
Yet another view up river with interesting weather and a boat. When you live near this corner of Chicago, you'll fill your Lightroom catalog with shots. 😎
I've just realized that I've already posted this shot. With the slightest of different edits. 😩 :shame:
Since hitting the road from western shore
more than a decade has passed me bye.
A journeyed traveler on a life long tour
to reach east coast dawn, soul will soar
unto the heavens with a twinkling eye.
This vagabond life can I transcend?
To give up sleeping beneath the stars
Life on life’s terms does not pretend
This journey fades as I near the end
The long sleep under Venus and Mars
from Weary Traveler,

This shot is a different version of a photo of some Civil War reenactors that I posted a couple of weeks ago. At that time, I couldn't decide which version I liked best, and since today is Thursday, it seemed like a good time to post this alternate version for the Thursday Monochrome group.
These men, portraying Union soldiers, had just finished a mock battle during an American Civil War reenactment event last fall in Hainesville, Illinois. I've added the other version of this image in the first comments box, for any who are interested. Feel free to let me know which you prefer.

Ah Sunflower, weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun;
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller's journey is done.
Florence at Low Tide

It's a wonderful cloudless sky today, so I'll cycle down to see the bees later. I'm so lucky I can cycle down to reach the coast, buying the bike has been one of the best things I've done. To just see the coast every day is so uplifting, even if the strong coastal winds make the cycling so hard. I'm certainly getting fitter, so I thought I'd post an uplifting coastal shot from a typical low tide walk. Never get weary is by Toots and the Maytals.
Keep right on to the end of the road,
Keep right on to the end,
Tho' the way be long, let your heart be strong,
Keep right on round the bend.
Tho' you're tired and weary still journey on,
Till you come to your happy abode,
Where all the love you've been dreaming of
Will be there at the end of the road.
Turkey Vultures seem to have a "world weary" expression, as if they have seen it all, and there's nothing that can surprise them.
They truly are nature's clean-up crew, and when there is a group circling overhead, it's a good sign there's been a kill.
I read some time ago that in Africa, poachers kill vultures, as they would provide clues to the game wardens that there had been an illegal kill, and that's how they were finding the poachers. The kill of the vultures obviously created a lot of problems, as they are such an important part of the ecosystem.
