There are times when one seeks a good image, he/she needs to know the technicalities in order to grab that one shot. But, it's more then that, its time, moment, feeling, knowledge, it's a science at times......

Si tu franchis le seuil de ma maison
Je t'offrirai
De partager mon pain
Pétri de bon grain
Récolté sur ma terre.
Je t'offrirai
De partager mon vin
Soutiré de la vigne
Plantée jadis par mon père.
Je te demanderai
De lever ton verre
A notre santé.
Je t'offrirai un toit
Pour te protéger de l'hiver
Grelottant sous la bise
Qui ravine les terres mortes.
Je te demanderai
De refermer la porte
Sur ton passé.
Je t'installerai
Devant un bon feu
Ouvert dans la cheminée.
La soupe pendra à la crémaillère.
Je te demanderai
De partager le peu
Que je possède.
Je te demanderai
De me donner la foi
De me donner la joie
Qui fait du pauvre un roi...
Lorsqu'elle est partagée.
Je te supplierai
De ne pas me quitter...
Jamais!

If you cross the threshold of my house
I will offer you
To share my bread
Kneaded of good grain
Harvested on my land.
I will offer you
To share my wine
Extracted from the vine
Once planted by my father.
I will ask you
To raise your glass
To our health.
I will offer you a roof
To protect you from the winter
Shivering under the wind
Furrowing the dead lands.
I will ask you
To close the door
On your past.
I'll set you up
In front of a good fire
Open in the fireplace.
The soup hanging on the pot-hook.
I will ask you
To share the little
That I own.
I will ask you
To give me faith
To give me joy
Who makes the poor into a king ...
When shared.
I will beg you
Not to leave me ...
Never!

In Memoria for CURLY CAROLINE (Caroline Fraser Beetham) 11/66-9/16
From her husband Andrew I learned that Caro died last September from a cancer she was carrying in her for many years. I met her when as a young woman she joined a holiday tour of the Alliance Française Exeter & Dartington (UK) and already in the train ride I realised that Caroline wasn’t just ‘another girl’. She blazed through the week with boundless energy, shiny eyes, an incredible smile, a head full of bouncing curls (I started – right at the beginning of the holiday, to give every participant not only his/her name but a ‘description’ of the person so that we would be able to learn all the names asap – and of course SHE had to be Curly Caroline!).
Caro wasn’t taking a French course with the AF, her mum did – but I thought it fitting to dedicate a French poem to her and our deepest feelings go to her wonderful and caring husband Andrew, her family whom we loved very much and sadly lost contact with, and all her friends.
The tulip of my picture is a ‘bought’ one – What I love about tulips is that they are so unpredictable. I often buy 3 bunches of different types and put them all together. The mauve ones usually open first although they have the closest heads when I buy them. Those with thick stems grow ‘wildly’ and within 2-3 days they all hang like trapeze artists all over the rim of the vase and in any direction they like. They change colour and structure, some curl their petals up, others dry out, yet others throw them off with reckless abandon… When I took this photo (amongst many others), I didn’t realise that in the back light the pistils of the inner side of this bloom would show up like a slightly open hand, holding a -shaped shadow. I tampered the heart ever so slightly to bring it out a tad more and I thought, it perfectly symbolizes this beautiful woman with a great heart and a loving character who knew that she wouldn’t live to an old age, and went to live every day in the knowledge that she ought to make the best out of it. She kept chickens and pets from animal shelters, she moved to a remote place in Scotland to help create and open a highly specialised bookshop, selling fishing books all over the world, receiving visitors from everywhere on the hunt for ‘that’ special book, map or print. She filled their home with happiness and love, everybody adored her, she made her Christmas cards herself, they were funny and totally collectable, and she made her husband a happy man although they knew that children were not ‘allowed’… And now she is gone forever. She leaves a great void in the shape of a place deep within us that wants to be filled and yet can not.
RIP Caroline

PLEASE do NOT just add an icon - I delete those - If I just wanted to plonk pictures to 'fave' I'd use Instagram, but that's not how I function - I wish to speak with you, to laugh or cry in your company, to interact as friends!
I want your opinions, views, your participation! If you THEN wish to invite or fave, I am all the happier... THANK YOU
Sorry my knowledge is very limited on ID.
I love the Flickr automatic tags. they have tagged this as food. I may go back and have it on my toast. Wonder if I will have a bad belly afterwards?
That said, I may get a Flickr viewer saying it is edible. Egg on my face then. Sorry about the pun.

This image from the Aqua satellite's MODIS instrument taken at 11:10 UTC on December 16, 2013 shows areas of snow in Syria, Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian Territory.
Snow storms in the Middle East are not frequent but not uncommon either. However, this one was unusually early in the winter and more intense than normal. The storm paralyzed Jerusalem with 30 to 50 centimeters (12 to 20 inches) of snow, knocking out power for roughly 15,000 households. The snow closed mountain roads leading into the city, effectively cutting Jerusalem off. Amman, Jordan, received about 45 cm (18 inches) of snow, and Lebanon and Syria also were unusually cold and snowy.
Lower elevations near the coast received torrential rain during the storm, resulting in flooding. Some 40,000 people were forced to evacuate flooded areas in Gaza, according to the Associated Press. The floods are not visible at this scale, but tan and green plumes of sediment are visible along the Mediterranean Sea coast. Such plumes can be caused by floods and run off, though stormy, turbid waters may also bring sediment to the surface.

The picture is taken at the Prunksaal (English: State Hall) of the Austrian National Library, which is the largest library in Austria, with 7.4 million items in its various collections. The library is located in the Hofburg Palace in Vienna. Founded by the Habsburgs, the library was originally called the Hof-Bibliothek ("Imperial Library"). - See Wikipedia

From February/2017. I still haven't gone through the 200 plus shots I was privileged to take of this beautiful owl. My wife spotted it along a busy highway and while I took a number of photos at that time I returned later to take more. It was in the same area but had moved onto a different fence post and then into a tree when crows came in. To my knowledge it was only there for a day and hopefully safe today.
Thank you for viewing.
um.... so yea i dont really know about this one. Knowledge=the lightbulb.
Wow i felt really samry. I spelled "knowledge" wrong the first time...

Already I've put up two Christmas trees. It's been several years since I've even put up one. Well... wasn't my intention to put up more than one but the first one wasn't my favorite and if you're going to do something for the first time in a long while then DO IT RIGHT!
So now, to eliminate confusion in the future I've packed up the older tree and it's going to ReStore so that someone who might not have a tree will have a prettier one than the two that they had last week on their floor.
ReStore is a retail division of Habitat for Humanity. There's one fairly close to our home and we've been in it a few times recently and have donated several items that were still in good condition but we wanted something different in place of the ones we removed. They're a very generous organization that ensures homes to those in need that could not afford a house. This is our past President Jimmy Carter's favorite charity and he donates his time and presence often. My brother-in-law is a retired architect/builder who also donates of his time and knowledge to Habitat. Yes, I support ReStore - have several items going to them now.
I always find it “amazing” how people spend their time discussing other people. We have so many topics for conversations and yet ... I just walk away... *i have almost a week off starting the following Tuesday but contemplating about going away because would really miss NY during the holidays * ♥️

The Knowledge Totem is found on the grounds of the British Columbia Parliament Buildings in Victoria, B.C. The totem was carved by Coast Salish artist Cicero August and was created for the 1994 Commonwealth Games. The totem was refurbished in 2021 by Doug August, son of the original artist.
This is supposed to work, right? If I sleep on this stack of books the knowledge will gradually seep into my head until I'm a super genius, or so I assume. At this point I'm up for anything!!
Only 3 full weeks into the 5 months of studying and I've reached the point of "holy cow, there is no way I'm going to learn and then retain everything I need to know." I'm keeping the full-fledged panic at bay, but only barely! Thankfully I will be taking my vacation week soon, and I'm determined to stay away from the books while I'm on my trip.
i'm missing my flickr time like you would not believe! Looking through your photos when I can is a great way to unwind, so I'll be catching up whenever possible!
Happy Wednesday!
