First young Blackbirds have appeared in my garden. This one is exploring the margins of my wildlife pond.
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise, rise up singing,
You're gonna spread your wings, child,
And take, take to the sky,
Lord, the sky.
Like Janis said
Click on this a time or two to embiggen it and view large. This 11-shot handheld panorama of ducks in the frigid pond at Greenfield near Daleville, Va., shot with a Nikon D850 and a Nikkor 200-500mm lens at about 400mm, was made with the idea that if you can't isolate one duck with a honking-big zoom lens, then try to get them all in with a telephoto pano shot. The original had 21 frames, but the computer would only chew on 11! ©2022 John M. Hudson | jmhudson1.com
This morning I took a bike ride around Kohler-Andrae State Park and came across some fellow explorers. I guess everyone was interesting at seeing what was beyond their present horizon today.
BTW-I've been doing more bike riding than walking for the last couple of weeks. I'm working through what may be plantar fasciitis in one of my feet. While my foot is better, biking doesn't put the same stress on the muscle that walking does. I find it cool that biking is OK because I enjoy biking and don't feel housebound. :-)

The snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus), also known as the polar owl, the white owl and the Arctic owl, is a large, white owl of the true owl family. Snowy owls are native to the Arctic regions of both North America and the Palearctic, breeding mostly on the tundra. It has a number of unique adaptations to its habitat and lifestyle, which are quite distinct from other extant owls. One of the largest species of owl, it is the only owl with mainly white plumage. Males tend to be a purer white overall while females tend to have more extensive flecks of dark brown. Juvenile male snowy owls have dark markings that may appear similar to females until maturity, at which point they typically turn whiter. The composition of brown markings about the wing, although not foolproof, is the most reliable technique to age and sex individual snowy owls.

تعدل نظارتها وتجذب شعرها بشكل متزمت
ترتدي الاسود وترتشف القهوة السوداء وتكحل عينيها بالاسود
تخبئهما تحت نظارتها الزجاجيه غير الطبيه
حتى تمنع بحر عينيها بان يثور و يغرق اقنعتها
تعيش لتعلم طلابها الجامعيين كيف يعيشون في الحياه الواقعيه القاسيه جدا
صبحيه اليوم عرضت عليها احدى طالباتها قصيده حب وغزل فضحكت كثيرا وسط دهشه الجميع
ثم اردفت : انكم مهووسون بالحب . . مهووسون بكل ما يدمركم
الحب لايشيد بستانا من الورد ولا يبني قصرا من احلام كما تتخيلون
انه يبني مأساة مزخرفه برسائل معطره
وموقعه من قبل شخصين قتلوا انفسهم بإسم الحب
ان مجنون ليلى يبكيكم ويجعلني اضحك كثيرا واتقزز اكثر !!
و اراهن كم ليلى في هذه القاعه تحلم برجل مثل قيس
لاتحلمن !
لان مجنونها لو حصل عليها لبحث عن ليلى اخرى
لاننا بشر تغرينا الاشياء البعيده
حتى لاتبكوا كثيرا وتدمنوا كثيرا وتتعثروا كثيرا
وتموتوا ابشع ميته . . !
عيشوا من اجل انفسكم فقط
فقط !
تودع الجميع بنظره صارمه وتتجه للمنزل
تشعل مصباحا خافتا . . تنزع سوادها وترتدي حريرا يشبه لون الورد . .
تلقي نظارتها وتسمح لعينيها بان تبوح . . تنثر دموعها على وسادتها !
وتضم رسائلها اليها التي تخبؤها في ديوان نزار قباني الموقع بإهداء مزخرف باسمه
تمسك بالهاتف تضغط على الارقام ويواجهها الصوت الذي تسمعه لسنتين كل ليله
هذا الرقم الذي طلبته غير موجود بالخدمه مؤقتا
ههه !
مؤقتا
تهمس لاحرفه
لقد سجنتك خلف اضلاعي " مؤبدا
لاتصدقوهم حين لايبكون
السماء تبكي . . الجدران تبكي . . وكل الكون يبكي
فكيف بكتله بشريه قذفها رحم ضيق فخرجت للحياه وهي تبكي . .
“Let us be silent, that we may hear the whispers of the gods.”

Let’s continue with this night with Yulia (you could see the story in the previous post). That was August 12th and today is November 1st. Summer is over, winter is entering with the first snow. Sometimes I can hardly keep up with myself. I’m taking photos and not making them. Making and not exhibiting. Exhibiting and not answering to comments soon enough (and feel guilty about that). Vonnegut’s Winston Niles Rumfoord from “The Sirens of Titan” was unstuck in space and time with an obvious drawbacks and some advantages. I feel the same side-effect of life to a slight degree. Recently I thought that the time is moving forward (probably), but acts in all directions. And I definitely live not just in present. Maybe the present is the less part of my life… How do you feel about it all?
To be continued…

Not too long ago, I rode along the intimate road of West Lake on Thursday and observed many changes in this place. I heard that the local government has approved the construction of an opera house project near the lake. In this image, which my friend captured and of us standing here, you can see the area where the opera house will be built. I’m unsure about what will happen or how this will affect the area in the future once in the opera house has been completed?
I truly love this place and feel a deep emotional affection to it. West Lake belongs to everyone - to me, to the local people living around it and to many couples. I’m posting this content I like and with no offense intended. I will cherish the soul, beauty and traditional culture that this place represents. 😔
Certainly, cultural values often face challenges over time. I hope that West Lake will develop while preserving its tradition, culture and environment. Because this place is a part of me, cheers!! 😄

Have a nice weekend, everyone!
Timeless sea breezes that for aeons have blown ancients rocks, you are the purest space coming from afar...(Maria Rilke)...
This stretch of coast in Norway is a gem towards the sea, but at the same time has a dramatic story to tell: The sea here is Norway's most exposed to storms: In the autumn and winter storms, the waves can reach 30m high. And the beds of the lighthouse keepers far out in the sea, moved across the floor as they slept. The story tells of a brave woman: Gjertrud 1814-1900: Her father was a famous pilot, and died at sea in 1823. She fought to keep her father's pilot certificate. And she was married to four sailors in turn. The first three perished at sea a few years apart. When she mourned for them, she went up on a great rock, and looked out over the sea for them. And this stone has been given her name "Gjertrud stone".
Dieser Küstenabschnitt in Norwegen ist ein Juwel in Richtung Meer, hat aber gleichzeitig eine dramatische Geschichte zu erzählen: Das Meer hier ist Norwegens am stärksten Stürmen ausgesetzt: In den Herbst- und Winterstürmen können die Wellen 30 m hoch werden. Und die Betten der Leuchtturmwärter weit draußen im Meer bewegten sich im Schlaf über den Boden. Die Geschichte erzählt von einer tapferen Frau: Gjertrud 1814-1900: Ihr Vater war ein berühmter Pilot und starb 1823 auf See. Sie kämpfte darum, den Pilotenschein ihres Vaters zu behalten. Und sie war wiederum mit vier Matrosen verheiratet. Die ersten drei starben im Abstand von einigen Jahren auf See. Als sie um sie trauerte, stieg sie auf einen großen Felsen und suchte sie auf dem Meer. Und dieser Stein hat ihren Namen "Gjertrud-Stein" bekommen
Este tramo de costa de Noruega es una joya hacia el mar, pero al mismo tiempo tiene una historia dramática que contar: el mar aquí es el más expuesto a las tormentas de Noruega: en las tormentas de otoño e invierno, las olas pueden alcanzar los 30 m de altura. Y las camas de los fareros, lejos en el mar, se movían por el suelo mientras dormían. La historia habla de una mujer valiente: Gjertrud 1814-1900: Su padre era un piloto famoso y murió en el mar en 1823. Luchó para mantener el certificado de piloto de su padre. Y ella estaba casada con cuatro marineros a su vez. Los tres primeros perecieron en el mar con unos pocos años de diferencia. Cuando hizo duelo por ellos, subió a una gran roca y miró hacia el mar en busca de ellos. Y a esta piedra se le ha dado el nombre de "piedra de Gjertrud".

Et les lits des gardiens de phare loin dans la mer, se déplaçaient sur le sol pendant leur sommeil. L'histoire raconte l'histoire d'une femme courageuse : Gjertrud 1814-1900 : Son père était un pilote célèbre, et mourut en mer en 1823. Elle s'est battue pour conserver le brevet de pilote de son père. Et elle était mariée à quatre marins à tour de rôle. Les trois premiers périrent en mer à quelques années d'intervalle.
