Macro Mondays "Connection"
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photos.
All of my life
I thought I was right
Looking for something new
Stuck in my ways
Like old-fashioned days
But all the roads led me to you . . .
. . . Through the lows and the highs, I will stay by your side
There's no need for goodbyes, now I'm seeing the light
When the sky turns to grey and there's nothing to say
At the end of the day, I choose you . . .
Lyrics from “I Choose you” sung by Alessia Cara
We all live on planet Earth, connected with each other. Sometimes this connection is obvious, like family and friends, or being a member of the "Marco Mondays"-group ;-)
Sometimes it isn't clear at all and then there are still secrets to reveal ;-)
Also in nature there is a connection between plants and animals. Looking inside this black Petunia, you see the pistil and stamens trying to tempt insects to enter. You know the rest of that story ;-))
I like this lovely little universe and if you do too, we are also connected ;-)
Wishing you all a very Happy Macro Monday!
He wears specs; Yes, I wear specs
He wears a black coat; Yes, I wear a black coat
He has a beard; Yes, of course, I have a beard
We both have ordinary cameras - smartphones
We both aim at the same object - a set of unconnected lines
We both shoot at the same time - before our lunch time 😀
He's on the 2nd floor, but I'm on the 3rd
He looks at its bottom, but I look at its top
He holds the camera with both hands, but I hold my daughter with one hand 😀

As 2022 draws to a close, I am looking forward to turning the page on this year, which has been a difficult one for me, and starting the new chapter that is 2023.
There are a few lines from a Josh Groban song called "Thankful", that I have always loved:
Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each others' light
For me, Flickr has become a beautiful place to find that light and that connection, especially in a world that seems to grow increasingly dark and troubled. So I want to share a deep and sincere Thank You to all my Flickr friends and contacts for the light you give and all the ways in which you uplift my spirit. Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity which both awe and inspire me, for sharing your beautiful places, special moments, and great adventures, for your thoughtful and generous support of my photography and writing, and most of all for your personal kindness, caring, and humanity. I truly enjoy all of the conversations, comments, and connection with each of you, and am incredibly thankful for your encouragement and good wishes through some of the tough times this year.
I am profoundly grateful to have met such wonderful people here on Flickr. Because in the words of the incomparable Maya Angelou in the poem below,
"Nobody, but nobody, Can make it out here alone.
I wish each of you health, happiness, and beautiful light (both in photography and life) in the new year ahead!
Alone
by Maya Angelou
Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
There are some millionaires
With money they can't use
Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They've got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone.
But nobody
No, nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
'Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.

The success of the puzzle is the connection of all the pieces to complete the jigsaw.The subject of the puzzle are Sudoku squares,which can also be solved,with a felt pen and wiped clean afterwards.
view of the Krzyżtopór Castle in Ujazd (Zamek Krzyżtopór w Ujeździe) from the south
Krzyżtopór is a castle located in the village of Ujazd, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, in southern Poland. It was originally built by a Polish nobleman and Voivode of Sandomierz, Krzysztof Ossoliński (1587–1645). The castle was partially destroyed during the Swedish invasion known as The Deluge in 1655, and then reduced to ruins during the war of the Bar Confederation by the Russians in 1770.
Even though extensive research has been carried out through the years, historians have been unable to fully explain all aspects of the complex. No documents have been preserved that have enabled the determination of either the date of commencement of the castle's construction or the date of its completion. The name of the architect is also unknown. Krzysztof Ossoliński was enamoured with magic. while the unique symmetry of the castle is evident even in its ruined state, the hidden meanings that may have been incorporated into virtually every part of the castle are not obvious.
The very name of the complex is a mysterious one. Krzysztof Ossoliński officially named it Krzysztofory, which is derived from Latin word Christophoros. Later, the name changed to Krzyżtopór, which is a compounding of two Polish words – krzyż ("cross", a symbol of the Catholic faith and Ossoliński's policies) and topór ("axe", the charge from the family's coat of arms). Both symbols can be seen on the gate of the castle. Also, above the gate there is the date 1631, but to what this date refers has not been firmly established.
The castle, built by Swiss engineer Wawrzyniec (Lawrence) Senes (probably born in Sent, Switzerland), is a typical example of the so-called palazzo in fortezza – an intermingling of both palace and fortress. The total size of the complex is 1.3 hectares; the length of the perimeter walls is 700 meters; the total area of all interior rooms is around 70 000 square meters. The basic design was based on the palace of Cardinal Alexander Farnese, located in the Italian village of Caprarola. Reportedly, the castle once had 365 windows (as many as days of the year), 52 rooms (as many as weeks of the year), 12 ballrooms (as many as months of the year) and also 4 towers (as many as 4 seasons of the year). For defensive purposes, the castle was erected upon a rocky hill, making it impossible for an enemy to organize an underground attack.
Krzyżtopór was furnished with amenities that were rarely seen in the 17th century, such as ventilation and heating system, and unique waterworks that provided all rooms with fresh water. Allegedly, the ceiling in one of dining rooms was made up of an aquarium containing exotic fish. Additionally, a system of dumbwaiters carried food from pantries to the upper floors.
The castle, without convenient proximity to main roads and rail connections, is visited by relatively few tourists. However, as walls, bastions and moat are relatively well-preserved, its magnitude is still very impressive. Though it is regarded as a permanent ruin, since around 90 percent of the walls have been preserved, reconstruction has been planned several times. Currently, efforts have been underway to roof the entire complex; however, this ambitious project lacks sufficient funding.
life lessons from a puddle: it’s in our frayed, raw places that light shines through; vulnerability is a portal to connection, acceptance, and healing.

The blue connection
The construction of the blue connection began in 2012 and continued until 2020.
It is a special connection between the South Park in Rotterdam , the landscape Buijtenland in Rhoon and Zuidpolder in Barendrecht , South Holland , the Netherlands .
It is a complete recreational navigable route to and at the same time functions as an ecological connection between the green areas in and around Rotterdam . The blue connection, also ensures clean water that comes from the Oude Maas and serves as a climate buffer .
A grand project , which is something different than the mega buildings major cities normally construct.
The blue connection is a recreational route for people with their canoes , small rowing boats and electric little boats and also is an attractive place for swimmers and fishermen. The shorelines are made as naturally as possible.
The plant and animal life to flourish will come through this connection. It's a matter of time before we can identify the beaver. There already live rabbits , bats , songbirds and waterfowl in the area. In addition to the herons , we can also find the spoonbill and they even hope that the bittern returns. Highland cattle is grazing in the Koedood , which is also a part of this structure .
The Pendrechtse Mill is a true photographic attraction in the Southern Border Park , the part of the connection between Rotterdam and Barendrecht . This is mainly because the sunset and sunrise, during a few weeks each year , are behind the mill
Areas to enjoy , photograph and just that piece of nature that we need in our overpopulated country.
De blauwe verbinding
De aanleg van de blauwe verbinding startte in 2012 en was klaar in 2020.
Het is een bijzondere verbinding worden tussen het Zuiderpark in Rotterdam, het landschapspark het Buijtenland in Rhoon en de Zuidpolder in Barendrecht, in Zuid-Holland , Nederland.
Het is een compleet recreatieve bevaarbare route worden en tegelijkertijd fuctionert het als een ecologische verbinding tussen de verschillende groengebieden in en om Rotterdam. Ook zorgt de blauwe verbinding voor schoon water, wat afkomstig is van de Oude Maas en dient het als klimaatbuffer.
Een groots project, wat wel even iets anders is dan de megagebouwen die de grote steden normaliter neerzetten.
De blauwe verbinding , of aansluiting, wordt een vaarroute voor recreanten met hun kano’s, kleine roei- en elektrische motorbootjes. Ook is de verbinding een aantrekkelijke plek voor zwemmers en sportvissers. De oevers worden natuurlijk ingericht.
Het planten en dierenleven zal tot een grote bloei komen door deze verbinding. Het is een kwestie van tijd voordat we de bever kunnen signaleren. Er leven al konijnen, vleermuizen, zang- en watervogels in het gebied. Naast de reigers, kunnen we ook de lepelaar vinden en ze hopen zelfs dat de roerdomp terugkeert. Schotse Hooglanders grazen in de Koedood, wat ook een onderdeel van deze structuur is.
De Pendrechtse Molen is een ware fotografische attractie in het Zuidelijk Randpark, het deel van de verbinding wat tussen Rotterdam en Barendrecht ligt. Dit komt vooral omdat, gedurende enkele weken per jaar, de zonsondergang en zonsopkomst de molen prachtig tot zijn recht laten komen.
Gebieden om van te genieten, te fotograferen en net dat stuk natuur wat we in ons overbevolkte land nodig hebben.

The first time I posted a picture of this plant, someone from Rio Grande do Sul made a very interesting comment. He said that when Maricá blooms in late Summer is a sign of a harsh Winter.
The plant is quite abundant in Rio Grande do Sul, and long ago people have observed this connection between the late flowering of Maricá, and the characteristics of a stricter Winter.
Can it be true?
I photographed the plant in Minas, abundantly flowery in March. Winter has not yet started officially but in my hometown many are complaining of much lower than usual temperatures for Autumn. Let's see now how Winter will be ...
Scientific Name: The tree belongs to the Mimosaceae family, species Mimosa Bimucronata, "Maricá" in our idiom.
Features: Tree or shrub that can reach up to 15 m high and 40 cm in diameter in adulthood. It is a pioneer plant, aggressive, used in soil improvement, important in native essence reforestation for the recovery of degraded areas. It is not a long -lived plant (20 to 30 years).
Very flowering and ornamental, with scented flowers in a pompom shape, which attracts the bees. The fruits are quite showy and with red color.
Places of Occurrence: Occurs naturally in the states of Bahia, Alagoas, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul.
It is adapted to soils poorly drained with sandy texture, but develops in stony soils, rock outcrops and wet slopes. It also develops well in fertile soils with adequate physical properties. The seedlings should be planted in full sun.
Wood is used in carpentry and as a source of energy (firewood and coal). The plant still has a high cellulose content, and is used in folk medicine. It is being widely used as a living fence in southern Brazil.
