“Seek out a tree and let it teach you stillness.”
― Eckhart Tolle ―
Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and just listen. No more is needed. Being still, looking, and listening activates the non-conceptual intelligence within you. Let stillness direct your words and actions.
― Eckhart Tolle ―

Being a carnivorous species and considered semiaquatic they do hunt on land as well as in the water but they predominantly live close to the water since the bulk of the food on their menu is found in close proximity to ponds and shorelines.
Because of the luxurious fur they bear they have always been considered the backbone of the fur trade and this quality has led to them being raised in captivity throughout the entire world. In captivity through breeding and nutrition practices they grow to about twice the size of those we find in the wild.
In the wild they are considered nocturnal but can be found hunting during the day and their varied diet consists of frogs, mice, voles, salamanders, fish, crayfish, muskrats, aquatic birds, eggs and even hares and rabbits on occasion.
This Mink is following the shoreline hunting in a fresh snowfall checking out all the holes and crevices it can find while searching for hidden prey.
A person fully awakened to the jewel-like dignity of their own life is capable of truly respecting that same treasure in others.

Despite being from the cactus family, the May flower does not have any thorns. It originates in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil and is scientifically known as schlumbergera truncata.
Its preferences are similar to orchids in terms of support. In its natural environment it prefers to use tree trunks as support. Therefore, this place is one of the best to keep your flower.
The name of this plant became popular due to its flowering, which takes place in May. However, it can be known in other ways depending on the region you are in. Thus, other common names are: silk flower, easter cactus for the southern hemisphere and christmas cactus for the northern hemisphere.
This flower fell in love with gardening enthusiasts because it is medium in size, has a huge variety of colors such as pink, pale yellow, red, orange and white, in addition to being very easy to grow.
The May flower reaches 30 cm in height, and can be kept in smaller pots with a diameter of 10 cm. Another curiosity is that if this plant is pollinated, it produces pink fruits with 1 to 2 cm when ripe.
***
This plant blooms in autumn, which in Brazil takes place between March and May. This time is close to Easter, which is also related to the flower. On the other hand, it can still bloom around Christmas in the Northern Hemisphere.
In this way, the May flower is linked to festivals that symbolize rebirth and life. Because it has many cheerful colors, it brings more liveliness to any environment in which it is, valuing any garden decoration around it.
The name silk flower is related to the soft and delicate texture of this flower. Therefore, these definitions are also among its meanings, offering more softness to the place where it is grown. That's why you can even stay in the plants to improve the energy of the house.
If offered as a gift, its symbolism indicates an attitude of pure and true feeling. It can also be used for declarations of love, representing the sincerity of the relationship.
A black man has a lot to be scared of,....still. I'm very white myself. This Chameleon is saying a prayer as he walks through the wrong neighbourhood and being observed very intensly. It's the end of the branch.

Being on vacation I had to use one of my parents feathers that they have kept. This one was a feather from a hawk that visits them often.

... SO GLAD I did not go back into hotel when I came out in the dark and it was raining ... being up for sunset the day before, and the limited amount of night that occurs there in Alberta during the summer months, I really wanted to get some needed sleep.
But I realized that the whole reason for exploring Canada while on vacation was for seeing the amazing places there and under neat lighting conditions (sunrise and sunset).
Another view here of the amazing 2 minutes where this rainbow popped in over the Lake Moraine area at sunrise.
This may be the shot taken then that ends up on metal backing and hanging either at home or in my office at work. (hint for a XMAS for Mrs. Krach to get for me ;))

One of the greatest joys of travelling along the Lofoten islands besides its absolutely breathtaking nature and topography must be the many many MANY tunnels that links some of them or which lead the E10 through insuperable mountains. It became one of my pleasures to be at the ready with my cameras and shoot while we were inside. Soo much fun, especially since most of the time you are all by yourself, not a single other car at sight and where else does one have that pleasure?! :)
Happy Monochrome Monday!

The church being constructed in 1523 or 1453, the dates differing according to the different opinions of people, was in the valley of Mraconia in a very delighted and beautiful sight, at a very hidden place (Mraconia means a place being hidden). It is known that during the russian-austriac-turkish battle (1787-1792) it was destroyed. In 1823 there was found the ruins along with a slavic proverb being written upon: "Peceat Manastirea Lubostinie Hram Uspenia Presvistaia Bogaraditi Leto 1735."
In 1931 it started the reconstruction of the monastery, however, everything having been reconstructed was stopped in 1967 by the water of the Portile de Fier I. After this the monastery did not get the chance to be reconstructed again. It became the monastery under water, Mraconia. In the year of 1993 the new stone of the new church was put in there, too. From the old monastery however it is still kept the old gate and some other minor parts being exhibited in a museum, Eselnita Iin Romania on the Danube Gorges (DN57 Orșova-Moravița)
Despite being tightly strapped down to the ground, this small aircraft didn't fare nearly as well as the seagulls during the storm! I think it was a total loss and I saw it being disassembled today.
Apologies for being a bit awol. My 4 sisters and I spent much of the past week sorting out our Mum's things; a difficult job but one we were able to do together. Mum loved her clothes, shoes and bags and we're pleased that several charities will benefit from the donations. Today we have been helping my sister do the same with her son's things. Again, it was incredibly sad, but my sister was amazing - determined that many of his lovely things will benefit others.
As always, many thanks for all the lovely comments and faves on my images and I look forward to catching up with you all now.
