Dear Future Generations,
I think I speak for the rest of us when I say
Sorry, sorry we left you with our mess of a planet
Sorry that we were too caught up in our own doings to do something
Sorry we listened to people who made excuses
To do nothing
I hope you forgive us
We just didn’t realize how special the earth was
Like a marriage going wrong
We didn’t know what we had until it was gone....

Generations of our family show the passing of time. The baby in the bottom right hand photograph is now in her late 40s.

Havinng a splashing time celebrating my umpteenth bath day in the company of my eldest granddaughter, back in 2004. Of course there were no masks in those "happy days".
Tip of the day :
In order to achieve this astonishing effect, you’ll need an olympic-size bathtub with loads of suds (or snow if you're into¹ snow bathing) and you’ll also need a beautiful granddaughter! Now if you happen to be a beautiful granddaughter, then you may be looking for a granddad but, not to worry, they’re two a penny² these days.
The picture was taken by her father who was 'filling the gap', so to speak! I just titivated it a bit and called it mine; so it's not exactly a selfie but every bit as good as. It is therefore signed Kittymax & Son, he took the photo and I salvaged it but don't tell him I said that for heaven's sake!
Zoom right in, on full screen, but don't fall in!
Scroll down the page a little to see the original, patriotic version: Red, White ans Blue! Perhaps a little too patriotic; hence the B&W.
Take great care and many, many thanks for calling,
Colin ...
¹ to be into something = aimer faire quelque chose

Had a fun shoot the other day with a BMW E92 M3 and a F80 M3. Which one do you prefer, coupe or sedan? Personally I prefer the F80 sedan, I just love the fact it looks so much wider than the E92.

These flowers bloom every year without fail in our front corner next to the driveway. They have been here longer than we have and I don't look after them at all.
Born in Texas. Feeding on Blue Sage nectar in the TWU Butterfly Garden. It will continue its migratory journey north, probably getting to Kentucky, laying eggs (a female, not this one in the photo which I think is a male) and dying. The next generations will continue their migration all the ay to Canada and the Canadian butterflies will fly all the way back to the wintering sites in Mexico. Next spring they will come to Texas and deposits their eggs and the migratory cycle starts again.
I conclude this series of pictures at Chinese New Year with these two delightful people. They looked so proud having their picture taken at the New Year celebrations

GÉNÉRATION
En hommage à Florence, ma petite-fille, qui m’a spontanément proposé le titre de cette image.
__________
Sur ces rivages bordés d’infini, un père initie son jeune fils à l’art de la pêche en eau peu profonde. Au premier abord, on pourrait croire qu’il s’agit d’une simple scène de pêche, pourtant…
Dans nos sociétés, l’idée de génération est souvent réduite à une opposition statique entre le passé et l’avenir, entre l’ancien et le nouveau. Je crois plutôt qu’il faut y voir un mouvement, un mouvement continu de transmission et d’évolution des connaissances et des mentalités humaines. En somme, cette transmission, notamment par la filiation, permets à l’originel de rester original et de poursuivre l’aventure humaine. * Ce que nous appelons « l’avenir » est, en fait, le résultat de l’interaction et de la transmission par toutes les générations. **
_________
Ici, sur ces rivages bien en retrait des mondes utopiques qui alimentent la fureur de nos sociétés, le père et le fils renouent avec la patience et la modestie fondamentale de l’existence des êtres. Et aussi avec l’enchantement originel devant la beauté et le mystère de notre monde.
La pêche aura été un bon prétexte pour cela.

GENERATION
In honor of Florence, my granddaughter, who spontaneously suggested the title of this image.
__________
On these shores bordered by infinity, a father introduces his young son to the art of shallow-water fishing. At first glance, one might think this is a simple fishing scene, yet...
In our societies, the idea of generation is often reduced to a static opposition between past and future, between old and new. Instead, it should be seen as a movement, a continuous movement of transfer and evolution of knowledge and human mentalities. In short, this transfer, particularly through filiations (kinship), allows the original to remain original and to continue the human adventure.* What we call the future is, in fact, the result of all these generations interacting.
._________
Here, on these shores far removed from the utopian worlds that fuel the fury of our societies, father and son reconnect with the patience and fundamental modesty of being. Also with the original enchantment in front of the beauty and mystery of our world.
Fishing was a good excuse for this.

It was fun to observe an intriguing behaviour of the family of Common Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus) on a duckweed-covered pond. On the left, there are two immature chicks sharing the nest (just about) with one adult parent arriving with food. If you look closer, the heads of two recently hatched chicks looking for food can be seen at the rare of two older siblings; in fact there are at least three younger chicks. What happened next was that one of the big chicks got the food from the adults. Luckily, the third immature chick arrived at the nest and gave some food to one younger sibling (image on the right).
I have seen this amazing behaviour for the first time and somewhat puzzling to me until I read Tim Welling’s narrative (www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/54682384374/in/dateposted/). Tim so well described this unique behaviour of Moorhen when more than one generation lives together and helps each other – thanks Tim!
The scientific name translates as a ‘little hen’ with ‘green foot’ derived from the Latin species name ‘Gallinula’ and from the Greek specific epithet name ‘chloropus’, respectively.
The Botanical Gardens, Royal Victoria Park, Bath, BANES, England, UK
Bodnant Garden (Welsh: Gardd Bodnant) is a National Trust property near Tal-y-Cafn, in the county borough of Conwy, Wales, situated overlooking the Conwy Valley towards the Carneddau range of mountains. Founded in 1874 and developed by five generations of one family, it was gifted to the care of the National Trust in 1949. The garden spans 80 acres of hillside and includes formal Italianate Terraces, informal Shrub Borders stocked with plants from around the world, and The Dell, a gorge garden with UK Champion Trees and a waterfall. Since 2012 new areas to open have included the Winter Garden, Old Park Meadow, Yew Dell and The Far End, a riverside garden. There are plans to open more new areas in future. Bodnant Garden is visited by around 190,000 people every year and is famous for its Laburnum Arch, the longest in the UK, which flowers in May and June. The garden is also celebrated for its link to the plant hunters of the early 1900s whose expeditions formed the base of the garden's four National Collections of plants – Magnolia, Embothrium, Eucryphia and Rhododendron forrestii.

CANAAN VALLEY - WEST VIRGINIA
Over the past thirteen plus years, the wife and I pay a biennial visit to Dolly Sods and the nearby Canaan Valley State Park to hike and enjoy the scenery. Along the short Blackwater River Trail, we have observed this same beaver dam throughout our visits. West Virginia does not allow hunting or trapping within the boundaries of its state parks and I wonder, how many multi-generational beaver families have been able to maintain this dam?
