We could say “I’ve been Spring-Sick”, like “home-sick”, no?
Why, yes!! I have been totally Spring-sick!! Especially in places like Lake Genval (Belgium), when this Spring feeling gets stronger and stronger, because of the existence THIS Light , which is definitely a Spring-Herald !
THIS magical Spring-Light, showers Genval’s Animal Kingdom inhabitants with an uplifting brilliance , which fills my heart with an utter joy! All beings glitter and shine in an extraordinary way! The LIGHT creates unusually enchanting contrasts and colour-tones….
Lake Genval creates deep serenity and tranquility within, a really velvety , positive, uplifting inward condition… So beneficial, so therapeutic ! Anyone who communicates with Nature Beauty, can immensely benefit when found by the mesmerizing waters of Lake Genval, during a brilliant, sunny, early Spring morning ….Like me, today….Like all these adorable creatures you can see in my photos, having just left a freezing Winter behind….
(During this past year, I have really missed “my” Flickr Colours, “my” Flickr-photos tour, my Flickr friends, my Flickr Community and communication! VERY much!!)
I met an old woman in a Greek mountain village. It was his evening walk to watch the sun set and the young swallows fly. We could not communicate with each other, but with the help of body language it became clear that although the woman is old and her heart is sick, she is still cheerful. So he played me some dance steps and a Greek song.
Underground, overground...
and everything between
elemental sheets of comfort
that surprise and hypnotize
upon this road laid
astride memory banks
to claim a destination
like the reflection
from a tearful eye
purifying the wintry sky
soon rose in October ...

I had been communicating with "M", a nice gentleman, for about a month and a half now. M is a T-admirer who wanted very much to "playdate" with me that we were a married couple in public. As being a wife has always been a fantasy for me, I jumped at the chance. We met and hit it off. When he saw me, the first thing he did was slip a wedding ring on my finger to remind me (and the public at large) that we were married. We went out to dinner and then to a movie, all the while pretending to be a young married couple. (Okay, okay...not so young! We pretended that we met each other later in life and had only been married for three years.) Here we are at the end of the evening back at my place for a nightcap. Thank you, M, for making a dream come true!
Sorry, but my "husband" wanted to remain anonymous!
This is play with a telephone cord. Who still has those things? I just loved its shape and there is play on the shape. The dark heart refers to terrorism in the world. During the World Cup Final there was a streaker (I think it was a streaker) on the field who stopped play. The commentator said, as the camera turned to the players and refused to show him, "well play has been stopped by a spoilsport but we won't give him an audience of billions". Terrorism gives you a world wide audience. Today we all know, we all hurt, we are all angry. The dark heart beats on.
I waited 20 minutes for someone to walk past the Telecoms store with a phone to their ear. Only this one person passed in that time
"Three Redpolls on a Branch" by Patti Deters. Three Common Redpolls (Acanthis flammea) engage in an animated interaction as they perch on a small tree branch. Their small, plump bodies are adorned with streaked brown and white feathers, while their distinctive red crowns add a pop of color. A hint of pink blush decorates their chests, a characteristic of these hardy finches found in northern boreal forests. The birds appear to be communicating - one with its beak open as if mid-chatter - while the others listen attentively, creating a dynamic and heartwarming scene. In the quiet of the woodland of the Sax-Zim Bog in northern Minnesota, USA, this composite trio might be sharing the latest news of the winter season - perhaps discussing the best feeding spots or warning of an approaching predator. Their tiny claws grip the rough bark, unfazed by the chilly air, as they embody resilience and camaraderie. Common redpolls are known for their social nature and remarkable ability to withstand frigid temperatures, even burrowing into snow for warmth at night. Watching them interact offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of these spirited little songbirds. Thank you for viewing this image.

Communicating thoughts of ways
To never have to speak again
Let me be the fire in your head
Bring what's yours, I'll take what's mine
And meet you on the other side
We'll leave a sign so anyone can find us
A better place, a sweeter time
We won't need any wings to fly
A place beyond the sun
Look for me
The way you would if you were blind
Don't be so resistant
I've been known
To travel much too fast
Is that you in the distance?
Lyrics from Shinedown - Beyond The Sun
We make it to the park as fast as we can. Once we get there, Jay and I split up in order to search for him. It's really hard to see a guy in a black and orange jumpsuit when everything around you is made up of nothing but bright colors. After circling around the Ferris wheel and downing a plate of funnel cakes (I, of course, paid for them), I finally run over to a two-story, dirty building: the old funhouse. I reach up and hit my communicator.
“Jay?” I call out, waiting for an answer.
“Yeah?”
“Come to the funhouse. It's the only place I haven't checked yet.”
“On my way.”
My ears hear a quiet rush of wind, and I look over to see Jay slowing down a few feet away from me. We nod to each other and head in. I see old paintings on the wall, like elephants and ghosts. Something that made me jump was an image of a clown with shocking green hair and a big, red smile. Made me think of a villain from my world I’d never hope to see in person. After walking through a bit, we come across a large maze that's entirely constructed of reflective glass. Jay chuckles.
"This is where he'd be."
Our search continues into the maze when we hear a soft giggle behind us. It's Mirror Master. I slam my fist into the mirror he's residing in, but he simply glides into the next one. His gun points up and shoots shards of glass at me. Luckily, this time they only bounce off my armor. He groans.
“Come on, Alice. I've got a very important date and I simply cannot be late,” I joke, but he grins under his helmet.
“But if I did that, I'd be ruining the surprise.”
Jay grabs my shoulder and begins to pull me away.
"It's a trap!"
Suddenly, a ball of blue and black lightning smacks me away from Jay. I groan as I lift myself up. Standing in front of me is a tall man dressed in black armor, blue highlights glowing like actual electricity. He looks at me through pale eyes that peek through his visor.
"I'll take it you're this world’s Flash?” he growls, and I nod with a smirk.
"Indeed I am, and judging by the outfit, you must be...the guy that endorses emo Transformers, right?"
A deep laugh resonates from him and he picks me up by the throat. I start to choke, but I can't break free.
“I'm the Rival, brat. And now, I'm gonna kill the two of you. Less problems for me to worry about, you s-GARHH!”
He groans as Jay tackles him to the ground, freeing me from his grip. They get into a fist fight, but Rival quickly gets the upper hand and begins to circle Jay, slamming his fists into every part of his body. This feels so similar to me, but I-wait. I know this kind of scene. Lighting, red instead of blue, circling around my house, circling...him...dad...he killed...no.
“NO!” I scream, and I rip Rival off of him, beating my hands into his ribcage until I feel the metal armor break away from my gloves. I grab him and start running quickly, faster and faster until the electricity that surrounds me when I run turns a bright blue. What am I doing?! Something catches my eye and I see it. A portal, cobalt on the edge and coal black on the inside. Whatever this is, I need it. I spin around a few times, and I throw him into it. Once Rival flies in, the portal collapses. I gasp for air and make my way back to the funhouse. My eyes start to hurt as I look at Jay’s broken form. I take a glove off and feel his neck: still has a pulse. Quickly, I wrap my arms around him, pick him up, and begin heading back to STAR. Only one thought was passing through my head as I did this: the Rival is going to pay.

Everyone has certainly experienced the fact that it is easy to spill from a very full teapot and the reason is that the water in the spout is at the same level as the water in the rest of the can or pot. If you tilt the can, the water level remains in the same horizontal plane. So, to spill it out you only have to tilt the can a little.
This is called the principle of communicating vessels. In vessels which are connected to each other, or communicating vessels, the surface of the liquid remains always at the same level horizontally in each of the vessels, no matter how the vessels are formed or how they are tilted.
To understand this effect, you have to take a closer look at the hydrostatic pressure in the connecting pipe. Every spot in the vessel is subjected to a pressure, which is caused by the weight of the water lying on top of it. The pressure only depends on the depth, not the amount of water. This principle is know as the Stevin’s Law. It is simple and intuitive, and for this reason its importance is often underestimated. But it is crucial in the engineering field: for example, it allows us to have the water in our home or to have a well balanced painting on our wall.
In fact, it is possible to send the potable water into the buildings because the general water tank, in the cities and villages, is located in an elevated position and connected, via vessels of the distribution network, with all the points of use.
It is also possible to obtain an instrument that mostly of you has used at least once in your life to make sure your pictures are perfectly horizontal: the spirit level.

The backside of the new sharing bike economy of Shanghai. First I thought this is a bike graveyard but actually it is new bikes not yet rolled out in the city. Interestingly enough there are constant beeps from the bikes like they communicate to each other. Interesting place to see and this is even the small place having another one directly next to it with much more bikes.
One hundred years ago, postcards were the most common and easiest way to communicate with loved ones not only across countries whilst on holidays, but across neighbourhoods on a daily basis with the minutiae of life on them. This is because unlike today where mail is delivered on a daily basis, there were several deliveries done a day. At the height of the postcard mania in 1903, London residents could have as many as twelve separate visits from the mailman. This means that people in the early Twentieth Century amassed vast collections of picture postcards which today are highly collectible depending upon their theme. This is a selection of British Edwardian Christmas postcards with faerie tale themes.

Raphael Tuck & Sons was a business started by Raphael Tuck and his wife in Bishopsgate in the City of London in October 1866, selling pictures and greeting cards, and eventually selling books and picture postcards, which was their most successful line. Their business was one of the best known in the "postcard boom" of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Their contributions left a lasting effect on most of the artistic world. During the Blitz on London during the Second World War, the company headquarters, Raphael House, was destroyed including the originals for most of their series. The company never fully recovered. The company combined with two others, to become the British Printing Corporation (renamed British Printing & Communications Corporation in 1982 and finally Maxwell Communications Corporation in 1987), which was originally located only a short distance from where the first shop of Ernestine and Raphael Tuck once stood.
Ellen Jessie Andrews (1857 - 1907) was one of Raphael Tuck's most senior artists. She was renown as a painter of children. She worked in the greetings and card industry for over twenty years, illustrating books and cards prior to her untimely death. Ellen (known as Eddie) was born in Camberwell, London, the third of four sisters in an affluent shipping family. She exhibited a painting at the Royal Academy in 1897.
Siegmund Hildesheimer (1832 - 1896) was a German-born British publisher, best known for Christmas and other greetings cards, and postcards, produced by Siegmund Hildesheimer and Company Ltd, in London and Manchester. In 1881 went into partnership with Charles William Faulkner, as Hildesheimer & Faulkner, with offices at 41 Jewin Street, London.
Sydney Carter (1874 - 1945) was born in Enfield, the son of artist Richard Carter. He took after his father and Sydney's portraits and landscapes are well known and highly sought after. He worked in oils and with gouache. He also worked as a cartoonist and a postcard artist, working almost exclusively for Siegmund Hildesheimer throughout the early 1900s. He eventually took up residence in South Africa where he lived from 1923 until his death.
