L'Amore infatti rende dolci le cose aspre e leggere quelle insopportabili ; invece il timore rende insopportabili anche quelle leggere
Amor enim aspera dulcia importabilia levia ; timor vero ipsa importabilia levia facit

“Sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whiskey and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind but falling in love and not getting arrested...Res ipsa loquitur. Let the good times roll.”

Originally, I was going to title this "Magna res est vocis et silentii temperamentum" (great thing is to know when to speak and when to keep quiet). But, that is too long & I babble too much. I'm not going to tell you about this photo. I want you to appreciate it (or hate it) for how it appears, not for what it is.
After all, The thing speaks for itself.

Limiting yourself to three days of shooting in Assiniboine is going to present a landscape photographer with a number of problems. At the top of that list is the simple fact that you can't be everywhere at once. For someone like me, it's a guaranteed recipe for a condition known in medical circles as "Quemne Ipsa Caput" which is latin for what happens when you step out of a helicopter with your bags and you look over Lake Magog for the first time. (Your head explodes)
Realizing that I couldn't shoot half of what I wanted to shoot, I spent most of my time clawing my way up the Niblet Trail and shooting around the shoreline of Sunburst Lake. It was almost as an afterthought that my buddy Eric and I headed up the hillside toward the lodge and looked back over the lake. It had snowed overnight (when the snow is coming down at 3 AM and you're in a tent, it really makes you re-evaluate how badly you need to pee) and the skies had been flat and gray for almost the entire day, but just as we turned around, the sun broke through for a moment and lit up the aspens and/or larches surrounding the lake ...one more glimpse of Autumn before Winter returned, burying this valley under a ton of snow for another 7 months or so. Our time in Assiniboine was over before it began, but I'm hoping to return sooner rather than later. It's a huge pain to get to, but time shooting in that area can be priceless.

Tersicore è un dipinto a tempera su tavola (117,5x81 cm) di Cosmè Tura e Angelo Maccagnino, databile al 1460 circa e conservato nel Museo Poldi Pezzoli di Milano.
L'opera proviene dallo studiolo di Belfiore, il cui allestimento fu cominciato da Lionello d'Este nel 1447 e portato avanti da suo fratello Borso fino al 1463. Si tratta probabilmente della prima tavola completata dal Tura dopo la morte di Angelo Maccagnino, precedente artista di corte.
Dopo la distruzione del palazzo di Belfiore, a causa di un incendio nel 1632, le opere superstiti dello studiolo furono disperse. Oggi se ne conoscono otto. L'identificazione con la musa Calliope non è certa e in passato si è fatto il nome anche di Erato o della Primavera. Il programma iconografico, ideato dall'umanista Guarino Veronese, si basò su alcune commistioni tra le muse e altre simbologie, tratte da un commento medievale a Le Opere e i giorni di Esiodo, in cui esse assumevano un significato propiziatorio legato alla coltivazione dei campi.
Tersicore, musa della danza, è rappresentata come una fanciulla in trono su pedana circolare, vestita di un ricco abito in velluto, con davanti tre putti che danzano allegramente reggendo nastri di seta trasparente. La particolare foggia del vestito, legata alla moda che si affermò in Italia dagli anni cinquanta del Quattrocento, permette di datare la tavola non anterioremente a quella data. Una finta allacciatura scende sul ventre e sul fianco, garantendo l'aderenza al busto, adattandosi all'uso anche durante la gravidanza: la veste aperta sul ventre infatti sembra alludere alla fertilità.
La parte inferiore del dipinto, con i putti, è quella dove sono più evidenti i caratteri tipici dell'arte di Tura, con i volti fortemente espressivi, nel chiaroscuro incidente, nel ricco panneggio blu della veste della musa e nel dettaglio dei piedi che sporgono in scorcio oltre il gradino, un espediente appreso forse da Andrea Mantegna.
Si è per questo ipotizzato che il quadro fosse stato avviato da Maccagnino nella parte superiore e poi completato da Tura. Il volto della donna è infatti dolce e dall'illuminazione convenzionale, con il busto impostato rigidamente.
L'iscrizione alla base dello zoccolo ("EX DEO EST CHARITAS ET IPSA DEUS EST") ha fatto a lungo supporre che si trattasse di una raffigurazione della Carità, ma tale ipotesi appare smentita da una lettera datata 5 novembre 1447 in cui Guarino Veronese spiega al marchese il programma decorativo da lui ideato.

The red crossbill (Loxia curvirostra) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae, also known as the common crossbill in Eurosiberia. Crossbills have distinctive mandibles, crossed at the tips, which enable them to extract seeds from conifer cones and other fruits.
Adults are often brightly coloured, with red or orange males and green or yellow females, but there is wide variation in colour, beak size and shape, and call types, leading to different classifications of variants, some of which have been named as subspecies.
The red crossbill breeds in the spruce forests of North America, as well as Europe and Asia. Some populations breed in pine forests in certain areas of all three continents, and in North America, also in Douglas-fir. It nests in conifers, laying 3–5 eggs.
Mediaeval sketch by Matthew Paris in his Chronica Majora (1254) of a crossbill holding a fruit in its beak, with the Latin words Alaudis parum majores ('a little bigger than larks').
This crossbill is mainly resident, but often irrupts south when its food source fails. These irruptions led in the twentieth century to the establishment of permanent breeding colonies in England, and more recently in Ireland. This species forms flocks outside the breeding season, often mixed with other crossbills.
The first known irruption, recorded in England by the chronicler Matthew Paris, was in 1254; the next, also in England, appears to have been in 1593 (by which time the earlier irruption had apparently been entirely forgotten, since the crossbills were described as "unknown" in England). The engraver Thomas Bewick wrote that "It sometimes is met with in great numbers in this country, but its visits are not regular",[5] adding that many hundreds arrived in 1821. Bewick then cites Matthew Paris as writing "In 1254, in the fruit season, certain wonderful birds, which had never before been seen in England, appeared, chiefly in the orchards. They were a little bigger than Larks, and eat the pippins of the apples [pomorum grana] but no other part of them... They had the parts of the beak crossed [cancellatas] by which they divided the apples as with a forceps or knife. The parts of the apples which they left were as if they had been infected with poison."Bewick further records an account by Sir Roger Twysden for the Additions to the Additamenta of Matt. Paris "that in the apple season of 1593, an immense multitude of unknown birds came into England ... swallowing nothing but the pippins, [granella ipsa sive acinos] and for the purpose of dividing the apple, their beaks were admirably adapted by nature, for they turn back, and strike one point upon the other, so as to show ... the transverse sickles, one turned past the other."

"The Red Leaf. Heart of Autumn..."
I remember this from "The Little Prince", what the fox said ~ that "what is essential is invisible to the human eye"...
Merci beaucoup to my friend, Kevin Desplanques, photographer extraordinaire for this very beautiful French translation.
Res ipsa loquitur...
(Photographed in the idlewilds, somewhere down a country road in South Louisiana. Res ipsa loquitur is a legal term from the Latin meaning, "the thing itself speaks" but is more often translated "the thing speaks for itself." It signifies that further details are unnecessary; the proof of the case is self-evident.)
