“It’s not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.”

Sir Edmund Hillary

This is one of the old salt marshes on the east side of the Dutch Wadden island of Ameland.

Here the sea has free acces during high tide to the land that was conquered from hundred of years ago in a primitive way.

The salt marsh is cleaved with creeks that are very deep due to the abrasive effect of the sea water being drawn in and out.

The grazing takes place by flocks of sheep.

The wind on the Wadden island of Ameland and the other Wadden islands has a predominant force of 4 Beaufort, but during heavy north-western storms the wind can reach wind force 12!

During these severe storms, a ferocious surf engulfs this salt marsh........

Eltz Castle is a medieval castle nestled in the hills above the Moselle River in Germany. It is still owned and lived in by a branch of the same family (the Eltz family) that lived there in the 12th century.

 

The main part of the castle consists of the family portions. At up to eight stories, these eight towers reach heights of between 30 and 40 metres. They are fortified with strong exterior walls. About 100 members of the owners' families lived in the over 100 rooms of the castle.

 

It's other claim to fame is that it is one of only two such castles on the West side of the Rhine that have never been conquered.

The full quote from the Roman poet Virgil's Eclogues X, 69 dated to 38 BCE is 'omnia vincit amor et nos cedars amori' or 'love conquers all; let us too, yield to love!' A passionate declaration that speaks to us across the centuries and is sure to inspire the adventurous.

It's FANTASY FAIR TIME!

texture by ~Brenda Starr~

Realizada en sillería de piedra caliza, en buen estado de conservación. Posee una bóveda única, con embocadura de doble rosca y estribos con aleta en rosca. Posee una imposta consituida por una hilada de sillares resaltados, y pretiles sobre rasante. La luz del arco, es de 6,8 m.

Destaca la cuidada labra y la homogeneidad de su fábrica de sillería, así como la integración en el entorno.

Existe una leyenda popular sobre el origen de este puente, según la cual fue construido por los caballeros de Isabel la Católica en una sola noche. La reina iba en campaña a la conquista de Baza y habiendo salido por la mañana de Quesada hizo noche en el paraje donde ahora se encuentra el puente. Como el río bajaba crecido por las lluvias de otoño y siendo imposible vadearlo, los caballeros del séquito de la reina construyeron durante esa noche este puente.

También se cuenta que a lo largo de esa noche, los caballeros herraron los caballos al revés para confundir el sentido de la marcha a los ememigos que venían persiguiendo a la Reina.

 

Made of limestone ashlar, in good condition. It has a single dome, with double threaded mouth and thread fin stirrups. It has an impost consituida a highlighted row of blocks, and parapets above ground. Light from the bow, is 6.8 m.

Stresses the careful styling and factory homogeneity of stalls as well as integration into the environment.

There is a popular legend about the origin of this bridge, under which was built by the Knights of Isabella in one night. The queen was in campaign to conquer Baza and having left the morning of Quesada became night in the place where the bridge now stands. As the river was swollen by the rains fall and being impossible to wade, the Knights of the suite of Queen built this bridge that night.

Also note that throughout the night, the Knights shod horses backwards to confuse the direction of travel to coming chasing ememigos Queen.

 

~*~ SPRING ~*~

The warm breeze slips

Over and under bare branches

Lifting the brown blanket

That covered the earth.

 

The melodic songs of birds

Waking up Spring

Float through my open window.

Mother earth brings new possibilities

As nature conquers entropy with love.

 

New life stirs.

Flowers of hope wiggle free.

Glimmers of color reach to the sky.

The sweet smell of rebirth

Floats in the air.

 

Days growing longer

Making me ponder

The real meaning of life.

Spring gives me hope.

by Kaciee

Someone once told me always live for the little things in life.

Live for 5 am sunrise and 5 pm sunsets

where you’ll see the colours in the sky

that don’t usually belong.

 

Live for the road trips and bike rides

with music in your ears and

the wind in your hair.

Live for the day when you’re surrounded

by your favourite people who make you realise

that the world is not a

cold harsh place.

 

Live for the little things because

they will make you realise that this is what life is about

this is what means to be

alive.

Every time I turn on the news, my heart hardens a little and I feel myself becoming less sure that we will ever have peace. I want to believe that people are good but lately there are so many examples of bad behavior that it is overwhelming me a bit.

 

For example, one of our local farms that allows visitors had to remind people not to harass the animals. Apparently guests have been chasing the ducks around and someone broke a ducks neck then took a huge rock and dropped it on the clutch of eggs she was protecting. Why would anyone do something so heartless? I cannot understand this cruelty and sit here stunned and heartbroken.

 

The political news is no better. I feel like I want to withdraw a bit but know without hope and action the bad will win and I cannot let that happen. I am sending more messages of love out into the world, maybe it will catch on and spread.

Timmy der Eroberer sitzt gerne auf dem Baldrian-Topf

 

Happy Caturday 27.2.2021 "Purrsonality"

 

This week I had to take Timmy to the vet again because he was injured in one ear and smelled bad from this ear. It was one of his regular fight injuries, which had become infected. He got an antibiotic shot and I got a bottle of iodine solution.

Amazingly, he let me rub his ear with an iodine cloth two or three times a day. He probably knows that I am helping him. However, he loves it already longer, if I rub with my nose in his ear :-)))

 

I also found white fur under his claws - so his fight with Sammy was probably a draw ;-) I hope the two of them will stay out of each other's way for a while.

 

The two rascals often fight at the border of their territories - the creek. Three times in the distance of about six weeks they both landed in the brook. I then always need 4-5 towels to get him halfway dry. Then he gets grounded until he is completely dry and also to cool down.

 

Life as a daddy of a conqueror is not boring and not cheep! This time: 111.14€ :-)

 

Diese Woche musste ich mit Timmy mal wieder zum Tierarzt, weil er an einem Ohr verletzt war und aus diesem Ohr schlecht roch. Es war eine seiner regelmäßigen Kampf-Verletzungen, die sich entzündet hatte. Er bekam eine Antibiotikum-Spritze und ich ein Fläschen Jod-Lösung.

Erstaunlich: er läßt mich sein Ohr mit einem Jod-Läppchen abreiben. Er weiß wohl, dass ich ihm helfe. Allerdings liebt er es ja schon länger, wenn ich mit meiner Nase in seinem Ohr reibe :-)))

 

Ich fand unter seinen Krallen auch weißes Fell - sein Kampf mit Sammy war also wohl ein Unentschieden ;-) Ich hoffe, die beiden gehen sich jetzt mal eine zeitlang aus dem Weg.

 

Die beiden Schlawiner kämpfen ja oft an der Grenze - dem Bach. Dreimal im Abstand von etwa sechs Wochen sind sie dabei beide im Bach gelandet. Ich brauche dann immer 4-5 Handtücher um ihn halbwegs trocken zu bekommen. Dann bekommt er Hausarrest, bis er ganz trocken ist und auch um sich abzuregen.

 

Das Leben als Daddy eines Eroberes ist nicht langweilig und nicht billig! Diesmal waren es 111,14€, allerdings mit einer Wurmkur :-)

 

it was one thing to pick

it up and hold it,

but i did NOT kiss it!

 

In the Mahabharata, Arjuna's celestial chariot was called Kapi Dhwaja , which could conquer all directions. The chariot was donated to Arjuna by Agni, the fire-god and driven by Sarathi Lord Krishna.
