empty form I am
state of being
Illusion of reality
We are nothing but mere form before our next transition.
In Buddhism, it is believed that our body is only a temporary form before we transition into another form. It is merely a physical manifestation of our consciousness, not the essence of who we truly are.
One way to understand this concept is through the idea of "non-self." For example, a flower is composed of non-flower elements—water, sunlight, soil, weather, the gardener, the florist, and more. Without these elements, the flower would not exist. Similarly, a person is made up of countless elements outside of the self, including parents, ancestors (both human and non-human), water, sunlight, food, education, and life experiences. The body is in a constant state of change, and our thoughts and emotions are always in flux.
To depict this abstract concept, I have used a physical monk's robe draped over a pair of eyes—without a body—to symbolize the impermanence and non-self nature of existence of our form.

Hornbeam foliage forms a veil of green leaded like stained glass with black branches. For how many millennia has the sun illuminated spring leaves for eyes comprehending or otherwise? Just doing the math very roughly, it has been millions of mornings like this, and many thousands in recorded history. But how many of them do you want to see in your life? At this time of year, at similar latitudes, there is one continuous, glorious morning gliding around the planet as it revolves.
And who knows what beauties coalesce silently near where you live every week — enough that the message is the same: go outside! Quick!
There's time to fav this photo when you come back. 😁

Antelope Canyon was formed by erosion of Navajo Sandstone,[2] primarily due to flash flooding and secondarily due to other sub-aerial processes. Rainwater, especially during monsoon season, runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways eroded away, making the corridors deeper and smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic "flowing" shapes in the rock.[3]

The Himalayas, or Himalaya, form a mountain range in Asia separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau.
The Himalayan range has many of the Earth's highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest. The Himalayas include over fifty mountains exceeding 7,200 metres (23,600 ft) in elevation, including ten of the fourteen 8000m peaks. By contrast, the highest peak outside Asia – Aconcagua, in the Andes – is 6,961 metres (22,838 ft) tall.
The Himalayan range is bordered on the northwest by the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges, on the north by the Tibetan Plateau, and on the south by the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The Himalayas are distinct from the other great ranges of central Asia, although sometimes the term Himalaya is loosely used to include the Karakoram and some of the other ranges. The Himalayas – inhabited by 52.7 million people – are spread across five countries: India, Nepal, Bhutan, China and Pakistan, with the first three countries having sovereignty over most of the range. Some of the world's major rivers, the Indus, the Ganges, and the Tsangpo-Brahmaputra, rise in the Himalayas, and their combined drainage basin is home to roughly 600 million people. The Himalayas have profoundly shaped the cultures of the Indian subcontinent; many Himalayan peaks are sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism.
Lifted by the subduction of the Indian tectonic plate under the Eurasian Plate, the Himalayan mountain range runs, west-northwest to east-southeast, in an arc 2,400 kilometres (1,500 mi) long.
A mystery arrival in the garden this year, and in two different locations and colour forms. No idea how they managed to get there either. Ordinarily, birds might be considered the normal culprit but, according to what I've read, birds don't particularly care for them. The name stems from the rather unpleasant aroma when the leaves are bruised or crushed.
Delle forme particolari di aggressività vanno considerate pure l’impertinenza e l’ironia. L’ostilità si maschera con il sarcasmo; si fa intendere di non attribuire il giusto peso alle parole o si invita ad afferrare il contrario di quanto si è proferito. Il vero messaggio si nasconde sotto il tono di voce e dietro l’umorismo.

Mountain hares live in Scotland and the North. They graze on vegetation and nibble bark from young trees and bushes. Hares shelter in a ‘form’, which is simply a shallow depression in the ground or heather, but when disturbed, can be seen bounding across the moors using their powerful hind legs to propel them forwards, often in a zigzag pattern. Mountain hares live in upland areas and are most common on heathland; they are at their most visible in spring, when the snow has melted but the hares are still white.
Behaviour
Mountain hares are grey-brown with a blue tinge in summer and turn white during the winter – only their ear tips stay black. The Irish hare may remain brown even in winter and its coat has a reddish tinge. Mountain hares are larger than rabbits, but smaller than brown hares and have shorter ears.
Size
Length: 60cm
Weight: 4kg
Average lifespan: 4 years
Status
Classified as a Priority Species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan.
Distribution
Found in the highlands of Scotland and in the Peak District.
When to see
Jan – Dec
Facts
Unlike the brown hare, which is thought to have been introduced by the Celts during the Iron Age, the mountain hare is native to Britain. However, it is only native to the Scottish Highlands and was translocated elsewhere.
"Forming and breaking in the sky,
I fancy all shapes are there;
Temple, mountain, monument, spire;
Ships rigged out with sails of fire,
And blown by the evening air."
- J.K. Hoyt

The Augustusburg and Falkenlust Palaces form a historical building complex in Brühl, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, which has been listed as a UNESCO cultural World Heritage Site since 1984. The buildings are connected by the spacious gardens and trees of the Schlosspark. Augustusburg Palace (German: Schloss Augustusburg) and its parks also serve as a venue for the Brühl Palace Concerts.
The palaces were built at the beginning of the 18th century by the Archbishop-Elector of Cologne, Clemens August of Bavaria of the Wittelsbach family. The architects were Johann Conrad Schlaun and François de Cuvilliés. The main block of Augustusburg Palace is a U-shaped building with three main storeys and two levels of attics. The magnificent staircase was designed by Johann Balthasar Neumann.
The gardens were designed by Dominique Girard. An elaborate flower garden for an area south of the palaces was also designed, but it was restructured by Peter Joseph Lenné in the 19th century and turned into a landscape garden. Attempts to renovate the area have proven difficult, due to poor source material availability.
Falkenlust hunting lodge was designed by François de Cuvilliés and built from 1729 to 1740, in the style of the Amalienburg hunting lodge in the park of Nymphenburg Palace.
From shortly after World War II until 1994, Augustusburg was used as a reception hall for guests of state by the German President, as it is not far from Bonn, which was the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany at that time.

Longue chronique aujourd'hui. Pardonnez m'en. Prenez le temps d'examiner les images inédites dont vous trouverez dans le texte les liens, autrement non-accessibles.
De la belle et grande visite!
Dimanche dernier j’ai eu le grand plaisir d’accueillir et guider quelques-uns de mes amis Flickr provenant de Vancouver et Québec. Toutes et tous d’excellents photographes animés par la même passion, la photographie animalière. C’est en début d’avant-midi de cette journée idéale pour la photo, baignée par un mercure des plus cléments et sous un soleil à l’intensité parfaite que nous nous sommes retrouvé face au trous no 6 et 2... vides. Connaissant les habituels allées et venues de nos Petit-ducs, je ne m'en suis pas vraiment inquiété. Le moment était donc propice à prendre le temps de savourer les premiers instants de ces toutes premières rencontres sur le terrain avec ces amis jusqu’alors virtuels, amis que nous avons l’impression parfois de bien connaître de part les partages et échanges sur nos images qui illustrent si bien nos visions et nos émotions. Je rencontrais donc pour la toute première fois Pascale et Alberto et je retrouvais Sandra et Maxime . Pur plaisir. Nous étions fin prêts à débuter notre chasse photographique aux Petit-ducs d’Angrignon!
Devant ces trous vides nous avons pris la direction du secteur que fréquente Odi, l'autre femelle de forme grise du Parc, située un peu plus loin. Juste auparavant j’ai jeté un coup d’œil au trou no 5, situé quant à lui à l’opposé du 6 dans le même arbre. Merveilleux! Shannon, le rouquin, s’y trouvait de ce côté ombragé du grand hêtre. Heureux et émouvant moment pour toutes et tous. Un lifer pour trois de mes visiteurs... La tournée démarrait en force! Nous avons trouvé Odi un peu plus tard bien installée aux abords du no 9, là où elle nous présente toujours ses plus belles poses. Royale apparition! Au retour auprès de Shannon, une surprise de taille nous attendait, Shannon avait passé, en notre absence, du no 5 au no 2 placé avantageusement en plein soleil, mes convives et quelques-uns de mes amis réguliers du Parc, tel Robert Dupont et Christian Fritschi qui se sont joint à nous plus tard, pouvaient maintenant le capter dans les meilleures conditions. Un trou pas trop haut parfaitement libre de toutes branches lui permettant, tout comme le faisait Victor ces dernières années, d'avoir à l'oeil l'arbre où se repose sa douce. Comble de bonheur, nous avons justement retrouvé la belle Amandine, bien installée aux abords du minuscule trou no 6, alors bien exposé à la belle lumière matinale. La totale! Nos trois Petit-ducs maculés auront été généreux et présents ainsi toute la journée. Nombreux observateurs, promeneurs, randonneurs et photographes auront bénéficié de cette journée parfaite! Ce fut notamment le cas aussi pour de nombreux membres du Club des ornithologues de Châteauguay que j’ai eu aussi le plaisir de guider en après-midi. Une journée parfaite!
Ayant passé alors la journée entière auprès de nos Petit-ducs, j'ai été en mesure de les capter dans plusieurs poses moins habituelles. À venir dans mes prochaines chroniques.
Le lendemain matin, venus tôt au Parc, Sandra et Maxime ont fait l'étonnante observation de retrouver le couple en même temps au trou no 6. Cet orifice trop petit pour les apercevoir ensemble, ils ont pu capter Amandine et Shannon venus chacun à leur tour aux abords du trou. Comme nous sommes maintenant dans la période où la nichée peut débuter, ce sera peut-être là le lieu de la couvée 2018.
J'ai justement retrouvé Shannon hier matin, samedi, aux abords de ce trou no 6. Il y était encore à 17h. Après avoir allègrement lissé son plumage (voir l'image ici), Amandine l'a tiré au fond du trou afin de prendre, à son tour, un peu d'air et de bien se réveiller avant que tout deux, l'un après l'autre quittent la cavité afin de vivre leur nuitée de chasse. Voyez ici Amandine en train de se placer aux abords du trou tout juste après que Shannon l'eut intégré.
La présente image que je vous présente aujourd'hui a été prise avant hier, vendredi, Amandine était alors seule dans la cavité. Après avoir entendu à quelques reprises Shannon chanter non-loin dans un coin où je n'ai jamais encore localisé de trou, je l'ai trouvé sur une branche, très, très haute (près de deux fois plus haute que le trou no 7, déjà positionné tout en hauteur), installé au côté de ce qui semble être un nid d’écureuil aux feuilles de la même teinte que lui. Voyez-le ici, comme de raison, dû à la distance, l'image ayant subi un fort recadrage n'est pas de très bonne qualité. Mais elle illustre bien cette situation où le nouveau maître des lieux trône avec panache tout en surveillant le secteur où sa douce Amandine se repose et répond de tant à autres à ses chants répétés...
