We all have a tendency to obscure the forest of simple joys with the trees of problems.
- Christiane Collange
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
Il faut admirer tout pour s'exalter soi-même
Et se dresser plus haut que ceux qui ont vécu
De coupable souffrance et de désirs vaincus :
L'âpre réalité formidable et suprême
Distille une assez rouge et tonique liqueur
Pour s'en griser la tête et s'en brûler le coeur.
Oh clair et pur froment d'où l'on chasse l'ivraie !
Flamme nette, choisie entre mille flambeaux
D'un légendaire éclat, mais d'un prestige faux !
Dites, marquer son pas dans l'existence vraie,
Par un chemin ardu vers un lointain accueil,
N'ayant d'autre arme au front que son lucide orgueil !
Marcher dans sa fierté et dans sa confiance,
Droit à l'obstacle, avec l'espoir très entêté
De le réduire, à coup précis de volonté,
D'intelligence prompte ou d'ample patience
Et de sentir croître et grandir le sentiment
D'être, de jour en jour, plus fort, superbement.
Aimer avec ferveur soi-même en tous les autres
Qui s'exaltent de même en de mêmes combats
Vers le même avenir dont on entend le pas ;
Aimer leur coeur et leur cerveau pareils aux vôtres
Parce qu'ils ont souffert, en des jours noirs et fous,
Même angoisse, même affre et même deuil que nous.
Et s'enivrer si fort de l'humaine bataille
- Pâle et flottant reflet des monstrueux assauts
Ou des groupements d'or des étoiles, là-haut -
Qu'on vit en tout ce qui agit, lutte ou tressaille
Et qu'on accepte avidement, le coeur ouvert,
L'âpre et terrible loi qui régit l'univers.

True predation... Adults of both sexes frequently drink flower nectar, but they stock their nests with spiders, which serve as food for their offspring. Mud daubers cram as many as two dozen small spiders into a nest cell.

I just want to thank everyone for the warm wishes and get wells for my husband! He is now home and in good spirits! He has much healing to do, but thankful he did not lose his foot.
Thanks for your support and powerful prayers! :0)
It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air, that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.
-- Robert Louis Stevenson
Rain drops splashed the flower pots hanging from the balcony rafters at a business in San Rafael, CA.
Cold on a mission so pull on back
Let 'em know that you're too much
And this is a beat uh u can't touch
Yo I told you u can't touch this
Carpenter bees (the genus Xylocopa in the subfamily Xylocopinae) are large, hairy bees distributed worldwide. There are some 500 species of carpenter bee in 31 subgenera. Their name comes from the fact that nearly all species build their nests in burrows in dead wood, bamboo, or structural timbers (except those in the subgenus Proxylocopa, which nest in the ground). Members of the related tribe Ceratinini are sometimes referred to as "small carpenter bees"

This is a Turtle Dove that was fluttering around flirting with it's mate, it would flutter from branch to branch while chasing, or being chased by the other one.
I had to crank the ISO up pretty high due to the low light, so this shot is pretty noisy, I thought it was still worth posting.
Would you find it in your heart
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces
