"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves......."

The Dunnock is a bird species of the genus Brown Accentor, the only genus in the family of the same name. The Dunnock is a widespread and frequent breeding and summer bird in Central Europe, but because of its inconspicuous plumage it is usually only noticed for its vocalisations. In some areas of Central Europe it is even an annual bird. Hedge sparrows are particularly common in young spruce stands. In the mountains they occur as far as the knee timber region.

Die Heckenbraunelle ist eine Vogelart aus der Gattung Braunellen, der einzigen Gattung in der gleichnamigen Familie Braunellen. Die Heckenbraunelle ist in Mitteleuropa ein weit verbreiteter und häufiger Brut- und Sommervogel, der wegen des unauffälligen Gefieders aber meist nur durch seine Lautäußerungen auffällt. In einigen Gebieten Mitteleuropas ist sie sogar ein Jahresvogel. Heckenbraunellen sind besonders in jungen Fichtenbeständen anzutreffen. Im Gebirge kommen sie bis in die Knieholzregion vor.

Панорама на исторический центр Сиены, впечатляет монументальностью черепичных крыш. Все они одной формы и тональности, и вроде глазу даже не за что зацепиться..............но тут такое яркое вкропление, как доказательство того, что жизнь продолжается.........

Patches of yellow hillside daisies accent the topography of hills in this view of the super bloom earlier this year. I’ve become increasingly fascinated with the distribution of flowers during such events, noting how they relate to the landscape. In one superbloom the southern facing slopes were incredible. In another, the the flowers seemed to swap over to the north facing slopes. Some flowers seem to concentrate in washes while others prefer wide slopes. Not here for instance that on the right side of the frame in the distant valley the yellow daisies completely dominate on one side of the wash but are almost nonexistent on the other side, which instead has a distribution of little shrubs. The slight differences in light and moisture throughout the year are enough to completely tip the balance from one plant species to the other. I liked the way the early afternoon high light helped accentuate the daisies on the ridges here. I wonder if in a future visit the daisies will be erupting from different slopes instead.

the sun was high, its light falling in hard, diagonal stripes across the ancient sandstone wall. the stone was the color of ochre, warm and porous. she walked along it, a figure in cream and bone, her heels clicking on the pavement. in her hand, she carried a bag, a perfect, brilliant rectangle of red. it was a single, defiant accent of color in the sun-bleached world. a punctuation mark at the end of an unspoken sentence. a fleeting signal, moving through the afternoon heat.

Golden Hour light washing over the balds in the Roan Highlands. The clouds rolled in and blotted out the sunset on this night, but leading up to it, the light was soft, golden and hazy. It was a unique experience. Every visit to Roan is unique, I always enjoy my time spent in the highlands. Especially when I have Jane Bald to myself like I did on this evening.
