Oh Lord, won't you buy me a pair of hands?

My friends all go bowling, but I don't have hands,

Prayed hard all my lifetime, please give me a chance

So, Lord, won't you buy me a pair of hands?

If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.

Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe

Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Music for your trip to the Universe:

David Bowie - Space Oddity

Ground Control to Major Tom. Ground Control to Major Tom. Take your protein pills and put your helmet on. Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)... Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)... Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff...)

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX

"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.

Blur - The Universal

The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."

Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss (Op. 30) / The Dawn of Man scene, 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick, 1969

Tune

I agree I got carried away with the associations I had during experimenting with different screws, light sources and backgrounds (most of the images won't be seen here).

It was fun using the new light tape (it can be switched to different colours) that my husband brought home for (especially) macro work.

The four screws here were placed on a shiny plastic bag for reflections plus one on top. There are black cards in the background to darken the scene.

HMM to all participants 💙💙💙

This hungry rabbit kept busy, snacking on my garden shrubs! I guess I won't be getting any blooms this year =(

Won't you like to take a seat? I did, in fact. :-)))

I won't just survive

Oh, you will see me thrive

Can't write my story

I'm beyond the archetype

I won't just conform

No matter how you shake my core

'Cause my roots, they run deep, oh

Oh, ye of so little faith

Don't doubt it, don't doubt it

Victory is in my veins

I know it, I know it

And I will not negotiate

I'll fight it, I'll fight it

I will transform

When, when the fire's at my feet again

And the vultures all start circling

They're whispering, you're out of time

But still, I rise

This is no mistake, no accident

When you think the final nail is in, think again

Don't be surprised, I will still rise

🎤 Lyrics: David Guetta - Titanium ft. Sia

[Verse 1]

You shout it out, but I can't hear a word you say

I'm talking loud, not saying much

I'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet

You shoot me down, but I get up

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose

Fire away, fire away

Ricochet, you take your aim

Fire away, fire away

[Chorus]

You shoot me down, but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down, but I won't fall

I am titanium

And I won't forget the way you said

"Darling I love you", you gave me faith to go on

Now we're there and we've only just begun

This will be our year

Took a long time to come ..♫

♫

I'm comin' back to you

And I hope you don't mind

That I'm wasting your time

I know you want me too

Even though you're not mine

You got that look in your eye

Come on, tell me where you at, when you back

I won't keep you up, take a nap

A little gasoline and a match

You just like it better when it's cold

This ain't what you want

This is what you need

Wake up in the morning

Know just what you need, need, need, need

The St. Louis Blues won their first ever Stanley Cup championship in professional ice hockey over the Boston Bruins. Named after Lord Stanley of Preston, Governor General of Canada who enjoyed ice hockey, the silver cup has been present annually since 1892 -- and from the Blues' first season in 1967 until now, St Louis had never won. A great weekend to everyone!

Sorry, won't do it again....

I won the contest… I always feel privileged finding these birds as their numbers have plummeted over the years, and on this snowy morning I found three of them! A real beauty, admired at the Loch, Central Park, New York.

My armour is like that of turtles. And I have the soul of a talking bear. Among wolves and goats of the heights so am I, I have the skin of a beaver. Green lakes and endless forests. Like that time, I want to go back. And in my memory they darken again. Those sensations are memories of former lives. And the fog confused me. I saw your shadow and I chased you. I see you swimming among the reeds. Talk to me, tell me it's true. In the distance I see you running. Wait for me, tell me it's you. Sunset mirages, was it true or did I imagine it?

I'm a swift fox again. I was punished to return. Tell me, where are you going? Last night I saw you pass by. I know you won't come back. I'm a swift fox again. I was punished to come back. Earth, tell me where are you going?... someday you'll stop... you will not rotate again...

Una expresión en tus ojos me tomó por sorpresa. ¿Dónde estaba yo? ¿Cómo iba a saberlo? ¿Cómo podemos ir en coche a ver una película? Cuando la música está aquí en mi coche, hay una banda tocando en la radio con un ritmo de guitarras que riman. Están tocando: Oh Yeah... en la radio.

In Japan they say you shouldn't worry because there are never any problems. If a problem has a solution, why worry? And if it doesn't have a solution, why worry?

The problem was not solved, but to hell with the problem. The radio is connected again... it's playing: Oh Yeah on the radio

I think we've all said "If I won the lottery" more than one time.

Redid my small home, with the help of a friend.

the neglected vibe i love so much reminded me of this song ..

"hold me while you wait

I wish that I was good enough

If only I could wake you up

My love, my love, my love, my love

Won't you stay a while?

I wish you'd cared a little more

I wish you'd told me this before

My love, my love, my love, my love

Won't you stay a while?"

"Birding is a three-dimensional pastime. It’s superior to, say, mushrooming, where the quarry is never higher than your shoelaces. And, of course, misidentifying a bird won’t kill you. Now, while all the mushroomers get busy writing angry op-eds, let me explain.

Birds fly. The sky’s the limit. One can’t go birding without looking up. The entire forest is stratified, from the treetop warblers to the ground foraging turkeys. And in the middle: thrushes.

Members of the thrush family spend much of their time on or near the ground. They forage on foot.

Males on territory might sing from a treetop, but they are often content to croon from a lower branch in the canopy. Birders sometimes complain about “warbler neck,” the pain that comes from looking high into the trees. Nobody complains about thrush neck.

Robins and bluebirds are thrushes. They’re easy to tell apart. The rest? Not so much. All the medium-sized thrushes are various shades of brown, with whitish, spotted breasts. So when walking in the woods, identification becomes easier if you start with a default bird: everything is a hermit thrush, unless it isn’t.

The hermit thrush is the most common and widespread thrush in Maine. It is comfortable in the understory of both hardwood and softwood trees. It forages through the leaf litter on the ground. When surprised, it may fly to a nearby branch where it can look you over and assess the threat, perhaps raising its tail or wiggling its wings. In other words, it’s easy. Its reddish tail contrasts with its brown body, confirming the identification at a glance. The whitish breast is lightly spotted.

Hermit thrushes don’t go far in winter. Most stay in the states. Some are even found on Christmas bird counts in Maine. They are the earliest of the brown thrushes to return, and start singing in late April.

Like their cousins, the song is an ethereal, flute-like melody, rising and falling. "

I usually won't post pictures like this, but I felt it was a bit unusual, and really shows how close the gull was in size to the hawk. This is a Cooper's Hawk (I believe) that was trying to drown a gull after attacking it. After trying to fly off with it unsuccessfully, the gull was injured but still swimming. The Hawk came back for another try to fly off with it but again was unsuccessful and had to contend with other gulls who were trying to chase it away. I did observe the gull on the other side of the channel, either swimming or floating away and the Hawk gave up.

1993 Terrasson won the Thelonious Monk Competition. Few years later he was talk of the Jazz World and can now look back on a terrific career. Born in Berlin (father American; mother French); he studied at Berklee in Boston and met and played with many, who are by now celebrated jazz musicians. He started young (5) with classical piano, but discovered jazz through his mom records, before he became a teen.

At Havana Jazz Festival Jacky Terrasson played with two Cubans; drummer Lukmil Perez and Felipe Cabrera on bass.

Not the best photo but this is the moment I found out there was three chicks in the nest and the only time I got all three together so it is special to me. One of the chicks has already fledged and the other two are now sitting on a branch because part of the nest broke :-(. I am sure it won't be long before they fledge also. I got some nice pics of mama owl yesterday and will post one soon.
