Dull & Boring

Never a dull day in the desert! One of our goals was to photograph a Great Roadrunner. We had been looking high and low with little success. This one came to us!! Beep! Beep!
Today people in Germany celebrate „ Sunday in commemoration of the dead“, traditionally the last Sunday before Advent. Our language even deals with an expression for the typical weather for this day. Totensonntagwetter as we say is dull, grey and misty. And as any self fulfilling prophecy we experienced this in the highest degree the worst pessimist could imagine. Nevertheless we were hiking on the new motorway (will be opened in two weeks). Bikers, skaters and hikers had great fun waking on ta track where in a fortnight vehicles will perform with high speed. Unfortunately the mist was too dense to take goo shots. So I place an October shot in b/w. Porta Westfalica, Ostwestfalen, Germany.
This photo was taken at the Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges trails. It is a very difficult bird to photograph... Always near to the ground and in the darkness of the rainforest.

"Don’t leave your room, don’t commit that fateful mistake.
Why risk the sun? Just settle back at home and smoke.
Outside’s absurd, especially that whoop of joy,
you’ve made it to the lavatory--now head back straight away!
Don’t leave your room, don’t go and hail a taxi, spend,
the only space that matters is the corridor, its end
a ticking meter. She comes by, all ready for caressing,
mouth open? Kick her straight out, don’t even start undressing.
Don’t leave your room, just say you have the influenza.
A wall and table are the most fascinating agenda.
Why leave this place? Tonight you will come home from town
exactly as you were, only more beaten down.
Don’t leave your room. Go dance the bossa nova,
shoes without socks, your body bare and coat tossed over.
The hallway holds its smells of ski wax and boiled cabbage,
writing even one letter more is excess baggage.
Don’t leave your room. Do you still look handsome?
Just ask the room… Incognito ergo sum,
as petulant Substance once remarked to Form.
It’s not exactly France outside. Don’t leave your room!
Don’t be an idiot! You’re not the others, you’re an exclusion!
Choreograph the furniture, essay wall-paper fusion.
Make that wardrobe a barricade. The fates require us
to keep out Cosmos, Chronos, Eros, Race and Virus!"
Joseph Brodsky
1970
The dull light of Autumn made this a difficult shot.

I don't let the weather stop me as long as it's not raining.

I hope you all of you had a merry Christmas. We just arrived from our second visit to Costa Rica.

This bird is always on the ground of the dark rain forest.
Not what I wanted at all. There's supposed to be a castle in the shot. And a lively sea. But things weren't that interesting that week. Flat and dull. And I was looking in the wrong direction.
Last weekend I had a early start and it looked very promising, but the beautiful morning light did never come. Making one stop just to collect proof for being out, and then back home preparing breakfast for the family.
Una giornata sonnacchiosa. Un po' così...

A dozy day. A bit like that
Certe volte ci sentiamo un po' così, con la nebbia nel cuore...

(21/365) I took this as my "back up" daily photo yesterday in case nothing better came along. Unfortunately it didn't so I have converted it to mono to make the most of poor light. For my own group Telegraph Tuesday HTT!
