Cet été devant la porte, un hibiscus fleurit l'entrée.
Tellement éphémère, d'ailleurs la fleur fane quasiment en une journée. Alors pourquoi s'y intéresser.
Il ya des choses comme cela qui font tellement partis de l'ordinaire que l'on passe à côté sans se soucier.... sans regarder.... ces toutes petites choses.
Un jour différent, en fin d'après midi, l'éclairage presque parfait, sans le soleil qui claque sur les pétales, me voila faire ma mise au point. Je découvre tout d'un coup dans l'objectif, ce que déjà j'ai vu mille fois sur flickr et dont je ne connaissais le nom ;-). Je vous présente l'hibiscus, l'éphémère, la fleur d'un jour, qui s'ouvre et se ferme puis tombe.
Je vous présente cette fleur aux 5 pointes de velours, petites boules charnues duveteuses et régulières. Au pied, du pollen jaune citron, humide de vigueur dont je vous laisse voir les détails en "larger sizer".
Voila mon petit trésor devant mes yeux ......
Un petit cadeau pour votre week end.
Beaucoup de douceur pour chacun.
N'oubliez pas de regarder avec attention ce qui est petit autour de vous pendant les jours qui viennent si ça se trouve vous allez découvrir votre trésor à vous.

It was somewhat comical and yet actually endearing to see these five Hoatzin lined up like this at a creek near the lowest part of the renowned Manu Road in Peru. The repetition serves to emphasize their unique appearance. The range of the Hoatzin encompasses the basins of the Amazon and Orinoco rivers and some tributaries in north-central South America.
In an interview, Marilyn Monroe was once asked what she wears to bed, to which she famously responded "Five drops of Chanel No. 5"
Such a classy and subtle way to say something sexy... I try to remember that sexy isn't always in what you show or say...but what you don't.
This is my homage to her, and to that notion.

Das Five Boats ist ein Bürogebäude im Innenhafen von Duisburg direkt an der Buckelbrücke und dem Hitachi Power Office.
Das 2004 fertiggestellte, siebenstöckige Bürogebäude wurde vom Stardesigner Sir Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners aus London entworfen, die Detailplanung stammt vom deutschen Architekturbüro Bahl und Partner, die Projektleitung hatte die Kölbl Kruse GmbH, die Bauausführung stammt von der Bilfinger Berger AG, die Baukosten betrugen 50 Millionen Euro. Vorgabe war möglichst vielen Büros eine Anbindung an das Wasser zu ermöglichen. Durch die ovale Form der fünf einzelnen Bootskörper und die Auffächerung nebeneinander haben fast alle Büros einen Ausblick auf den Innenhafen bzw. die Innenstadt von Duisburg. Die 35 Büroetagen sind alle identisch geschnitten und modular aufgebaut, sodass eine sehr flexible Nutzung möglich ist. In den hinteren, nur sechsgeschossigen Quertrakten sind die Technik- und Versorgungsräume untergebracht. Die gesamte Bürofläche beträgt 22.000 m². Mieter ist die Betriebskrankenkasse Novitas BKK.
Im Erdgeschoss sind Einzelhandelsgeschäfte und Gastronomie auf 1.500 m² untergebracht. Im Untergeschoss befinden sich 175 Tiefgaragenstellplätze.
Nachts erleuchten die vier hinteren Quertrakte mittels LED-Technik in unterschiedlichen Farben und strahlen die Wellaluminiumflächen der Bootskörper an. Die insgesamt 660 m² großen Beleuchtungsfläche wurde pro Verbindungstrakt in zwanzig Felder aufgeteilt, deren Farbverläufe oder Lichtstimmungen frei programmiert werden können. Das Lichtkonzept entwickelte die spectral Gesellschaft für Lichttechnik mbH.
The Five Boats is an office building in the inner harbor of Duisburg directly at the Buckelbrücke and the Hitachi Power Office.
The seven-storey office building, completed in 2004, was designed by the star designer Sir Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners from London, the detailed planning came from the German architects Bahl und Partner, the project was managed by Kölbl Kruse GmbH, the construction work came from Bilfinger Berger AG, the construction costs amounted to 50 million Euro. The requirement was to enable as many offices as possible to be connected to the water. Due to the oval shape of the five individual hulls and the fact that they are spread out next to each other, almost all offices have a view of the inner harbor or the city center of Duisburg. The 35 office floors all have an identical layout and are modular in structure, so that they can be used very flexibly. The technical and supply rooms are housed in the rear transverse wings, which are only six stories high. The total office space is 22,000 m². The tenant is the company health insurance company Novitas BKK.
Retail shops and restaurants are located on the ground floor on 1,500 m². There are 175 underground parking spaces in the basement.
At night, the four rear transverse wings are illuminated in different colors using LED technology and illuminate the corrugated aluminum surfaces of the hull. The total of 660 m² of lighting area was divided into twenty fields per connecting tract, whose color gradients or lighting moods can be freely programmed. The lighting concept was developed by spectral Gesellschaft für Lichttechnik mbH.
I was there, and captured this event on Kodachrome film. 45 years later, it still seems like a dream. Five big Rio Grande SD45s pull a westbound merchandise train through Provo, Utah as the sun goes down on June 9, 1977. D&RGW rostered 26 of these 3600 horsepower pullers, delivered by EMD between Jan. 1967 and May 1968. Lead engine 5340 was the last unit of the series.
This tree stood on a ridge near Johnstons' five miles from the blast at one time when suddenly it and it's beautiful surroundings were obliterated in an instant. I've watched the pics turned into motion shots many times and the blocked in power released that Sunday still astounds me.
Alvin Harp mentioned recently that he felt a sadness when his favorite pics fell off the front page and my first thought was Saint Helens. Tonia and I were going to go down there tonight and get some good light in the morning but my 14 hour day at work put the kibosh on that so in the meantime, take a moment and look at this place, I hope that I'm not alone in my fascination. :-)

This is me standing on the top of the world at around 7am in the morning on 26 May 2011. Exactly five years ago today and very happy memories.
It's Friday. Forty five seems just about right. Half way there.
Have a great day and a fantastic weekend.
Common Bluets typically have a four lobe flower. This five lobe flower mutation appears to be an exception. Similar to finding a four leaf clover among three leaf clovers.
Good morning goslings five
together under sun and blue sky
looking my way and not being shy
lake waters showing their reflections, I sigh.
so innocently beautiful are these goslings five!
Hopeful they all thrive!
To mature and fly South and arrive.
such joy it would be, they all did survive!

Take five small units, assemble them and they form a larger unit.
You could also make a flower-shape of this phase, by folding the longer 'arms' backwards.
The unit is two-tone, so it's nice to reverse the colors and make two final versions, you'll see them tomorrow ;-))
The colors are darker, it was a clouded gray day.
Senso-ji is Tokyo’s oldest Buddhist temple, located in the Asakusa district on the banks of the Sumida River. Built in honor of the goddess Kannon, it is now one of the capital’s most popular tourist attractions, thanks to its vibrant colors and lively, bustling atmosphere.
Arguably the most viewed historical landmark in Montreal, the Farine Five Roses sign has been greeting visitors to the city since 1948.
If you’ve ever entered Montreal from the South-West (by way of the Champlain Bridge, for example) or just looked in that general direction, chances are you’ve seen it before. A bright red, blinking sign that reads “FARINE FIVE ROSES”─each letter being about fifteen feet tall and propped up by enormous steel scaffolding─the sign has been a prominent feature of the city’s skyline for over half a century. Though it was originally intended to be a mere advertisement for the flour mill below it, the sign has gradually become a Montreal icon and a token of our city’s industrial past.
A product of Montreal’s industrial era, wherein the city was hailed as the “industrial centre of Canada” for nearly a century, the mill is just one of the neighbourhood’s many old manufacturing facilities. According to the Industrial Architecture of Montreal archive, “between 1847-1945, the area surrounding the Lachine Canal had the highest concentration of industrial buildings in the country.”
This concentration of industrial activity was sparked by the construction of the Canal itself, which began in 1821 and was completed in 1825. A waterway that connects the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean, the Lachine Canal dramatically increased Montreal’s capacity for importing and exporting goods, turning it into an ideal destination for industrialists, while also attracting “both immigrants and the rural population of Quebec.” As surrounding faubourgs became densely populated, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and railroads were spread out among the residences, resulting in the industrial architecture that still characterizes the area today.
The mill itself was opened in 1946. Dubbed the “New Royal Mill”, it was built by Ogilvie Flour Mills Co. Ltd., a family enterprise whose involvement in Canadian mills dates back to 1801. Industry 67′ Centennial Perspective reports that Alexander Ogilvie constructed his first mill at Jacques Cartier, Quebec before moving to Montreal in 1811 ─ here, the company built their first modern mill in 1886. They eventually expanded across Canada and, “when flour was, in effect, a munition,” the output of the Ogilvie Flour Mills contributed to the provisions of the Allied Forces throughout the First and Second World War. In 1941, construction on the New Royal Mill began and was finished four years later; in 1948, the sign was installed, reading “FARINE OGILVIE FLOUR”.
