“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.

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.

Even wearier.

- 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!

...still much winter ahead

Oh, I am very weary, Though tears no longer flow; My eyes are tired of weeping, My heart is sick of woe.

Anne Bronte

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,

Waitin' For My Dearie

From Brigadoon

Tune: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hyiv_ghxpA&t=2s

Many a lassie as everyone knows'll

Try to be married before twenty five

So she'll agree to most any proposal

All he mus' be is a man an' alive

I hold a dream an' there's no compromisin'

I know there's one certain laddie for me

One day he'll come walkin' o'er the horizon

But should he not, then an old maid I'll be

Foolish, ye may say

Foolish I will stay

Waitin' for my dearie, an' happy am I

To hold my heart till he comes strollin' by

When he comes, my dearie, one look an' I'll know

That he's the dearie I've been wantin' so

Though I'll live forty lives till the day he arrives

I'll not ever, ever grieve

For my hopes will be high that he'll come strollin' by

For ye see, I believe

That there's a laddie weary and wanderin' free

Who's waitin' for his dearie, me!

What do ye do while ye're waitin' around

For your lad to come your way?

Well, when no one is lookin', ye kneel on the ground

An' ye pray an' pray an' pray

But when lassies sit an' have no men

Oh, how long becomes the night

But I fear the night is longer

When the lad's no' right

Waitin' for my dearie is sweeter to me

Than wooin' any laddie on the lea

Dreamin' of your dearie an' idlin' the day

That's how I am

An' how I'll ever stay

Though I'll live forty lives till the day he arrives

I'll not ever, ever grieve

For my hopes will be high that he'll come strollin' by

For ye see, I believe

That there's a laddie weary an' wanderin' free

Who's waitin' for his dearie, me!

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.

This male has been busy this week feeding the fledglings that are out of the nest and staying close begging for food. The female is already on her new nest as is one other.

It was pouring outside when this male Purple Finch showed up at the feeder. It was the only bird eating on the deck during this rain storm. I was happy it could eat and get some shelter before moving on.

Ellicott City, Maryland

Having grown weary of the winter, the Blessed family decides to take a vacation to the East. Little did they know, the communal resort they decide upon was designed by a wealthy businessman who had very little knowledge of the culture. The result was an eclectic mixture of both Eastern and Western styles.

Boiler Room

Found this old fishingboat. It wont go out fishing again.

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary

But I must go alone

Till the Lord comes and calls

Calls me away, oh yes...

Well, the morning's so bright

And the lamp is alight

And the night, the night is as black

As the sea, oh yes...

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day

There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord, I pray

There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see

There will be peace in the valley for me someday...

A Blue-gray Gnatcatcher catches a small insect to feed his hungry fledgling.

Another sunset from my window.... As it set and reflected off the calm sea, I was moved to tears by the beauty of it... Emotionally fragile I guess...

I noticed this weary traveler napping on a park bench along the harbor in historic St.Pete’s. I should have added this earlier .. this is not a homeless person. He was with part of a traveling group and truly in need of some shut eye .

House Where Nobody Lives

“Thus each of us had to be content to live only for the day, alone under the vast indifference of the sky. This sense of being abandoned, which might in time have given characters a finer temper, began, however, by sapping them to the point of futility.” - Albert Camus
