So it begins

But soon I will be released

But not from my vow

I will always be here

For you to find

If you care to open your heart

Wide enough

To let such love inside

 

So it begins

With my blood and tears

The sweat of my endurance

But this is all for you

For that day when you need me

When it is hard to be alone

Fear binding you to earth

Trapping you below

 

So it begins now

Walk with me to freedom

Let us open the doors

To the welcoming light

And the new dawn

Leave our ties behind us

Break all your bonds

No need to return

 

Let the Light find you, as Easter brings us new life, let the Light find you in the dark.

It's shortly after 8:30 and the Central Indiana & Western is already hard at work. With switching complete, the crew ahs gathered 18 empty sand hoppers from the glass plant and will begin its 90-minute, 9-mile trek to the CSX interchange in Anderson, IN.

I did get a great deal of pictures that one afternoon on the beach.

I am not a beach or water person. I love being near it but I don't swim and really don't want to splash around. I was thankful it was overcast as I don't like a hot beating sun on me either.

So my journey was filled with pictures.

Swabian Alb, Danube, Germany

After winter snow, sleet and frost - the thaw begins.

Lyrics from „The day begins“, The Moody Blues:

 

Cold hearted orb that rules the night,

Removes the colours from our sight.

Red is grey and yellow white,

But we decide which is right,

And which is an illusion.

Pinprick holes in a colourless sky,

Let insipid figures of light pass by,

The mighty light of ten thousand suns,

Challenges infinity and is soon gone.

Night time, to some a brief interlude,

To others the fear of solitude.

Brave Helios wake up your steeds,

Bring the warmth the countryside needs.

The growth and development of flowers occurs over several weeks from the germination of seeds planted in a ground or container to the time in which flowers bloom. The entire process happens in about five stages for most flowers. Although flower species have varying bloom periods, the general growth and development process is basically the same for all flowers. Moderate variations in the length of time of certain stages may differ by flower species. A Sprout Is Born

The seed begins the germination process during the first five days after being planted. During day 3 of the initial growth and development stage, imbibition begins as the dry seed takes in water from the ground. Next, the root emerges from the seed coat on or about day 4. On day 5, the root begins to extend and develops a root system at one end while a stem forms at the other end. The stem starts the process of making its way upward and eventually past the soil's surface. Hey, Bud

Stage 2 is the stage when a flower's leaves develop. Leaf development usually begins on day 6 and continues to day 26. Leaves begin as tiny rosettes (leaf buds). As the stem begins growing leaves, the development of a flower's primary root structure also culminates usually sometime after day 14. Even though leaf growth does not officially happen until stage 3, the first leaf buds may begin growing after day 18 and continue until day 26. A New Leaf on Life

Leaf growth overlaps slightly between stages 2 and 3 as buds evolve into new leaf growth. But stage 3 officially marks the entire leaf growth period at around day 19. During this stage, all of the leaf buds grow until each one reaches full maturity at about day 29. It's also possible for stage 4 to begin during the latter part (day 26) of the leaf growth stage.

Beginning of the Blossom Day 26 is the day in which most flowers experience inflorescence emergence. In other words, flower buds start appearing on the stem, signifying stage 4 of development. It often occurs toward the end of stage 3 leaf growth; however, it is treated as a separate stage because the period indicates the growth and development exclusively of flowers.

Bloom Times

Stage 5 commences the flower production phase. On approximately day 31, the first flower bud opens. Additional flower buds continue opening throughout a roughly 18-day bloom period until day 49 at which point flower production typically ends.

Timed this capture with the waves fully retreated to get that morning light on the wet sand.

Not today,not tomorrow,but someday.

In parts of Minnesota, this fall has been a textbook mild one. We have had above average temperatures and the normal signs of fall have held on long enough to give even the most cynical Minnesotan a brief hope that maybe this winter would be different. But if the weekend forecast holds true, we will wake up on Monday morning with wind-chills far below zero. The fun and games begin but especially for our vulnerable wildlife like this pheasant who looks like he is already trying to figure out how he can get above the snow covered ground.

As we wait for the lunchtime concert to begin in Chichester Cathedral, Ray keeps the seats whilst I have a little look around with my camera.

 

On Tuesday I came across Andrea and David in the audience. We had met them on a previous visit when they agreed to a portrait for my strangers' project.

 

Andrea was wearing a winter hat and had previously told me she has quite a collection. I asked for a portrait; she agreed.

  

thank you for your visits to my photostream, any faves and comments

Kindness Makes the World A Better Place

it begins with an open half-shell, which is covered here and slowly goes over to the hewn natural product in order to then continue to abstract this form, turning into a cultural product again.

 

Depending on the viewing angle, each mirrored sculpture takes on the form of the neighboring sculpture in the outer contours.

 

Art meets an expansion joint in the concrete and a round lid to cover a technology shaft ... I particularly liked this encounter with the banal everyday life ...
