تبدو ملآمحي " سـآكنه "
أكاد لآ أشعر بي ..
أسير بـِ طرقٍ لآ أُحبها
أكتبُ حروفاً مبهمة
أعبر الصفحات بوعكة تسمى " ملل"
يالله
أنا مُرهقة ..
بداخلي أشياء عظيمة وقلبي صغير .. صغير ياربي
أحتاج الرحمة
أحتاج المطر ..

I caught a little wormy
a crawling up a tree.
He wiggled here
he wiggled there
he wiggled right at me.
I put him in a shoebox
and told him STAY RIGHT THERE.
But when I opened up the box
a butterfly was there.
I don't know how it happened
I couldn't if I tried
cause only the great Lord above
can make a butterfly.

Have a GREAT day my dear friends!!!
The beauty of this Iceland Peninsula is breathtaking. When the sun shines on the September colours it is heaven!
I pass this old tree on my commute home from work (near Thoroughfare Gap) and actually had my camera w/ me yesterday!

Since I'm a bit behind in my reworks I thought it might be a good opportunity to take stock of the images that have received such a warm reception on Flickr.
On our last trip to Iceland we visited the Ásbyrgi canyon again. Always when you visit somewhere you see something that you want to do and can't that day. The first time we visited I wanted to climb Eyjan but we had no time, so this time, that was the plan and we climbed to the top.
Eyjan is a rocky divide in the middle of the valley like a wedge of cheese, just hundreds of feet high, this photo is from the pointy end.
The views were stunning but none of the photos really worked out so I gave this one a little help with Luminar 4, all the tree colours are real, after all it was in the fall.
The waterfall in the distance, now just a trickle is the remains of a once raging torrent that carved this valley in a very short space of time, possibly weeks.
From Wiki -
Ásbyrgi was most likely formed by catastrophic glacial flooding of the river Jökulsá á Fjöllum after the last Ice Age, first 8-10,000 years ago, and then again some 3,000 years ago.
The Icelandic legend explains the unusual shape of the canyon differently. Nicknamed Sleipnir's footprint, it is said that the canyon was formed when Odin's eight-legged horse, Sleipnir, touched one of its feet to the ground here.
About where I'm standing.
The steam from Mammoth Hot Springs condenses and freezes on nearby branches (and other things).
I rarely use flash, but did so here. Fortunately, it didn't light up the background at all.

It looks somewhat sinister, but it's function is actually a decorative one: creating twisted cording for sewing projects like pillows.

my second picture:
After the Methodists sold the 1905 Central Hall, major restoration work was undertaken on the building in 1997/8, which reopened in November 1998 as licensed premises called Grand Central.
The windows (among other things) were decorated in a "sympathetic" art-nouveau style supposed to be "in-keeping" with the rest of the building's architecture.
A bit like Marmite - you either love it or hate it.
