you can never be too sure if a scene like this will play out to be a good one..or even a great one. on the third day of vacation the sky looked all kinds of promising so I dragged my camera down to the water's edge and waited in anticipation of a great show. as the sun came up it ducked behind a bank of clouds and that was the end of it.. thankfully on this particular morning this beginning had a rather wonderful end to it.
Over time I discovered that, with the passage of time, every form of art, whether writing, painting, music, sculpture, becomes simpler by the hand of its author.
It is as if from birth, each of us, self complicates life with restlessness, anger, unhappiness. As if it were so difficult to understand who knows who or who knows what. Then, as a lighting in the mind and, as we age, the words become simple, the linear signs, the stylized figures ... everything takes the essential form ....
But will it be an arrival or a surrender?
Who knows, in any case, if it makes us feel better, let it be....
PS Maybe it's better when I work incessantly and I do not have time to think : ))
I find the piece of music I found very beautiful, I do not know, I think I started from this piece, and then I get to this image, I hope you like it as a beginning for a new year together.
Good new beginning to all of you
Thanks for your recent visits, favorites, comments and invitations, everything is very much appreciated, as always....

A lovely oak tree which was presumed killed in a landslip, is producing leaves low down on it's trunk - HMBT!
With my back to the first rays of sunlight I looked in awe as the slopes of Grandfather Mountain came alive with the reflected, rose colored light reflecting off the colorful clouds streaming to infinity to the west. Appreciating the opportunity having witnessed another dawn...

In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.
He was present originally with God.
All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. John 1:1-3 (AMP)

Think I'll give it a try!
For my friends Patrick (Kansas Poetry) and Nancy on the celebration of their marriage. The happy couple hosted a wonderful reception this evening at the old Lawrence Train Depot. We had a great time helping them mark the beginning of their life of love together.
What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from [ T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets ]
This time spring feels like a new beginning.
Although I know you since years
Its like meeting you for the first time.
every word is full of emotions
every word is a seed in my soul
can you hold me again?
even when summer ends?
can you rest in winter ?
and bloom with me again in spring?
Six years ago, the start of our first trip to discover snow!

Wildflowers are beginning to bloom near Crested Butte, Colorado. A few snowy peaks of the Elk Mountains in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness rise up in the background.
Lorsqu'Anselm Kiefer s'est rendu en Inde au début des années 1990, il a observé des tours de brique qui s'élevaient vers le ciel. Essentielles à la fabrication de la brique crue, les mêmes briques cuites à l'intérieur des tours ont été utilisées pour les construire. Dans un processus de création et de destruction, les tours ont ensuite été progressivement démantelées au fur et à mesure que les briques étaient nécessaires pour les construire ailleurs. Fasciné par la résonance métaphorique de ce cycle de naissance et de décadence, l'œuvre de Kiefer adopte l'imagerie des grandes constructions architecturales, monuments de l'ambition et de son effondrement. Elle rappelle les premières civilisations de l'ancienne Mésopotamie et reflète l'histoire de Kiefer qui a grandi en Allemagne au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
Sur le domaine de Voorlinden à Wassenaar se trouvent deux tours d'Anselm Kiefer, mesurant respectivement 15 et 17,5 mètres de haut. Enfant, l'artiste allemand construisait des tours à partir de morceaux de gravats trouvés dans des ruines. Il a construit ces tours en utilisant des blocs de béton armé. Le titre fait référence à Jéricho, l'une des plus anciennes villes du monde, dont la chute et la reconstruction sont décrites dans la Bible. L'œuvre de Kiefer présente souvent des histoires bibliques, mais aussi des thèmes tels que la destruction et la reconstruction. L’artiste voit une certaine beauté dans les ruines : « Pour moi, elles ne représentent pas une fin, mais offrent l’espoir d’un nouveau départ. »
When Anselm Kiefer visited India in the early 1990s, he observed brick towers reaching into the sky. Essential to the manufacture of mud brick, the same bricks fired inside the towers were used to build them. In a process of creation and destruction, the towers were then gradually dismantled as bricks were needed to build them elsewhere. Fascinated by the metaphorical resonance of this cycle of birth and decay, Kiefer's work adopts the imagery of great architectural constructions, monuments to ambition and its collapse. It recalls the early civilizations of ancient Mesopotamia and reflects Kiefer's own story of growing up in Germany in the aftermath of World War II.
On the Voorlinden estate in Wassenaar, there are two towers by Anselm Kiefer, measuring 15 and 17.5 meters high respectively. As a child, the German artist built towers from pieces of rubble found in ruins. He constructed these towers using reinforced concrete blocks. The title refers to Jericho, one of the oldest cities in the world, whose fall and reconstruction are described in the Bible. Kiefer's work often features biblical stories, but also themes such as destruction and reconstruction. The artist sees a certain beauty in ruins: "For me, they don't represent an end, but offer the hope of a new beginning."

Waiting for the ferry to Vancouver Island, at the beginning of our Canadian Rockies tour.
For a long time I took no photos of clouds. Stieglitz had done it; better to Be Here Now; the experience is better than the memory. One thing I know for sure: tomorrow, the clouds will be beautiful. Then eventually, like Doc Brown, I thought, “Oh, what the hell.”

After several years of anticipating a trip to the Clinchfield (despite only living a few hours away) I finally came up . Q692 is seen here entering the loops at Ashford, NC.
DJZ_5007-Edit: Fall colors are just beginning in this small group of Aspens at this elevation. There are larger groups of Aspens that have not begun to change color yet. I'm looking forward to when the large groups change color. This area is off of Forest Service road 168 in the Bighorn Mountains, in north-central Wyoming
