I am a capsule of energy
You speak softly
We are capsules of energy

A Pale Swallowtail has been very busy as she is dusted with pollen. The Butterfly landed for a few shots and started sipping nectar from our Red Hot Sally Salvia flowers :) She is a bit tattered but still beautiful!
The sun was unusual that day, most likely a natural filter was created as a result of the suspension of dust from the Sahara. The clear but dull sun was visible without any glare, which allowed me to do a handheld shot at 300mm MFT using an x2 electronic teleconverter (FF 1200mm). The whole thing took a few minutes, a quick decision, I opened the balcony door, stabilized my position and here's the effect. Even sunspots are visible under magnification.
Children joyful dancing in the sun
With a blissful ignorance of what's to come
When the guardsmen start to struggle
And the barriers give way
We're broken and we wither in the fray
We are husks
Alive but barely breathing
Sometimes we pull ourselves together
But our efforts fade away
We are dust
Crumbling by the moment
We try to push away the ending
And black roses fall the same
Running off afraid of what's to come
When you're facing down the barrel of the lawman's gun
But the saints have learned the secret
And the rebels know the same
We're killing just to bury our remains
We are husks
Alive but barely breathing
Sometimes we pull ourselves together
But our efforts fade away
We are dust
Crumbling by the moment
We try to push away the ending
And black roses fall the same
Preludes of every stanza
End on repeating notes
A tale of woe and sadness
Chоrus of silent throats
We try and keep a memory
Transcribing every line
But when they turn to ashes
We perish slaves to time
Burned out on borrowed moments
Used up like cigarettes
We feel our time expiring
But it's not over yet
Each finds a meager purpose
Though our cold grave awaits
We face the morbid beauty
Of our collective fate
We are flawed
Chained to the laws of nature
I guess we'll have to teach each other
To leave legends to our names
We are husks
Alive but barely breathing
Sometimes we pull ourselves together
But our efforts fade away
We are dust
Crumbling by the moment
We try to push away the ending
And black roses fall the same
We are husks
Alive but barely breathing
Sometimes we pull ourselves together
But our efforts fade away
We are husks
Alive but barely breathing
Sometimes we pull ourselves together
But our efforts fade away
We are dust
Crumbling by the moment
We try to push away the ending
And black roses fall the same
A Blueberry Crop dusted by winter snow
Theoretically speaking, you could refer to this as an aerial
application - Just not from a plane :-)
Dormant blueberry bushes turn a beautiful shade of red throughout the winter

A dust of snow
By ROBERT FROST
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

"If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere."
- Vincent Van Gogh
After her early morning foray to see and take photos of the Brown hyena, Ruby returned to camp for breakfast. While she did this a strong wind sprang up and with it came the dust. In no time at all, dust was on and in everything.
We ventured out into the rising dust storm to look for wildlife, but any self respecting animal had taken shelter in some place out of the wind. This photo is an example of what we saw. After a while Ruby said we should return to camp and wait for the storm to pass. All the guests were in the camp; it was not a day to be outside.
And a belated Happy World Cat Day to you all. :)

Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera
Taken somewhere on the road from Marrakech to the Atlas mountains in Morocco. I had my camera prepared in the car sitting right next to me with a 28-300mm lens to be ready should an interesting scene appear somewhere along the road. And it did. Saw this group of workers appearing at a considerable distance inmidst the dusty conditions of the country-side. Slowed down, pulled over to the roadside, lowered the window and took a series of 3-4 photographs, of which this one turned out best.
Ears back, head down, eyes focused, feet up, turbos charged and ready to launch!

It had snowed last Thursday and Friday without any wind. One of my favorite places to go in such conditions is the Garden of the Gods, a magnificent city park located not far from where we live. The rock formations with their sandstone red colors and the trees take on a magical appearance with a winter's blanket of snow and the right light. The clouds kept on into Saturday but broke nicely that afternoon. The snow had melted a bit, but still covered portions of the rock and trees. This shot was looking from the west into the Central Garden. I was hoping for a nice sunset but the clouds moved back in and, alas, there was no light show that evening. Oh well, next time!
Thanks for your views and comments!
Mérida, México at dusk.
"We found you hiding, we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands
But, whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Whoa, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in dust..."

Dust from the Sahara traveled all the way to Ohio and provided us with lovely, glowing sunsets. How cool is this Earth?!
What a dust battle with this shot, and believe me this was the best I could get with static clean and air blowing as this snapped. I guess the winter static has crept in.

大粒の宝石が8シェイプ入っています。
ライン上に並べられたものや、床にこぼれた宝石たち。
クルクルと回る宝石は楽しい気持ちにさせてくれます。
女性の部屋のベットに置いてあっても、砂浜やプールに飾られてても合うなぁと。
大粒の宝石の集合体はあまり見たことがないし、色は多彩な32色展開。
渋めの色でまとめられた色達は、大人が似合う色合いでした。
SSは黒い部屋なので、明るめの色をチョイス。
パインアップル色が美味そうで。

"Water was running, children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares' shrine?
But oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
But oh, your city lies in dust, my friend..."
