From a sudden (though ancient) recollection of a song by Steeleye Span...

Common Australian term for this water bird.

My favorite photo of all time. Why? Because of its simplicity and how this simple picture conveys a deeper emotion. A simple yet intricately entertwined hands says as if this is FOREVER. This is LOVE.

Forever was shorter than what i was thinkin,

Now all we have left is yesterday,

i guess i wasnt what you wanted,

til u saw me turn and walk away,

be stil u had me feelin small, when im six foot four

fed up with you always comin up short,

tired of all the games you play,

funny how now, you've got so much to say

to say...but you never

Where is love?

Does it fall from skies above?

Is it underneat the willow tree

That I've been dream of?

Where is she?

Who I close my eyes to see?

Will I ever know the sweet "hello"

That's only meant for me?

Beautiful you

You don't have a clue

You star in the story of my life

Beautiful you

Beautiful you

 

We all have a tendency to obscure the forest of simple joys with the trees of problems.

Lovely Week Everyone!

 

Ótima Semana a Todos!

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.

 

"LA VIE"

 

---------EMILE VERHAEREN---------------

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.

ob ich mit der halb aufgeblühten Sonnen-

blume die Sonne locken kann?

Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world.

Would you find it in your heart

To make this go away

And let me rest in pieces

Would you find it in your heart

To make this go away

and let me rest in pieces

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"

It has been an unsual weather pattern at the equator these few weeks. During the day it is extremely hot and by nightfall the weather changes to a torrential downpour...Not to mention the humidity...Have an enjoyable weekend everyone and thank you for stopping by my stream. Cheers, Ringgo.
