Thank you so much for your support and wishing you a great week ahead! take good care and be well! 😊
She let go.
She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear.
She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice.
She didn’t read a book on how to let go.
She didn’t search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort.
There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore…
-Saffire Rose
One of the important life lessons in this house is........YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE CATS. Lucy's tail is at the top of the photo as she's sitting on the table with her head peering over the other side glaring at Emily. Emily has learned that she can practice her puppy shenanigans with everyone in the house except the cats. The cats get along with all of the dogs as long as the dogs follow the cat rules. Emily is a few days shy of 6 months old.

I have been fortunate to be REALLY busy with work. But it IS long hours, and we have cement floors. This morning I was in back complaining to Davey how my legs hurt, were tired...nag, nag, nag. Bell rings, we have a new customer set the door alarm off, I walk up to see this next customer an it is a one-legged painting contractor. Um yup Lord, Lesson understood. Grateful
These guys are easy to hear as they deliver their two-note call in a subdued tone from the tops of tree canopies. They seem to fly about languidly, but they can be hard to lay eyes on because of dense foliage.
I was able to photograph this bird three separate times, but all shots had limited light. In another, the bird was perched a bit too high.
I wish this shot were brighter, but it does show a sense of the dense tropical forest.
The parents of a young swan teach him to fly.
Thank you all for visits, faves and comments - it's greatly appreciated!

Sometimes the perfect light lasts only for minutes....and it exposes perfect imperfections. Grab it while you see it, grab it while you can! There's a lesson here somewhere!

First about the watch:
This is a vintage (mid 1970ties) Chinese wrist watch Seagull (海鸥) ST5-D (29J automatic movement). It came with original manual and original bracelet, but shown here on a steel mesh bracelet.
Nice silver pie pan dial.
The ST5-D was the first indigenous Chinese automatic movement, made by the Tianjin Watch Factory (天津手表厂).
That pocket dictionary used as a prop is not too good, but it has the character 表 at the right place for the photo.
Now for your Chinese lesson:
The character 表 biǎo has many meanings, more than given in that dictionary, most usage in a technical context is for anything with a dial. Depending what other characters it is combined with one gets the actual meaning.
Examples:
表带 biǎo dài watchband
手表 shǒubiǎo wristwatch
钟表 zhōngbiǎo clock
压力表 yālì biǎo pressure gauge
高度表 gāodù biǎo altimeter

Another highlight at the first morning in Jan's garden was this Motmot. It was before sunrise and the ISO was a bit high 😉

"Couronne de lauriers, j'arrive comme César sur le boulevard Barbès. Elle m'masse le dos à Château d'Eau, comme par hasard, t'as pas l'adresse.

Pas d'gros mais de beaux mots, tes potos se sont trompés sur les totaux. Ils font des total, cassent des motos, savent pas que les selfies sont des photos. Ils rappent de la mort aux rats, s'croient à Gomorra, parfumeur sans odorat. En vrai, on est adorables, abordables, on peut être plus sympa qu'Matt Pokora"

This Lesson’s Motmot was hanging out at the edge of a trail while walking around in the Monteverde area of Costa Rica. To our delight it showed absolutely no fear of us and allowed us to get some nice close-ups. He was still happily sitting in his tree when we departed.

The photograph being looked at here is actually very important. Unfortunately the name of the photographer is unknown. It was taken in 1912 and shows a women's life drawing class at the Launceston Technical College where Lucien Dechaineux (1869-1957) had been in charge of the art department. Dechaineux taught composition classes to the Tasmanian photographer Jack Cato. Have a look at this brilliant Cato portrait: searchthecollection.nga.gov.au/object/155474
But we know Cato didn't take this photograph because he was already working in London at the time.
eprints.utas.edu.au/18371/1/Lucien_Dechaineux_1869-1957_F...
However, the real significance of this photo is, (1) that the artists' model here is actually Lucien Dechaineux, and (2) that it shows Hope Evershed, the first female art teacher at the Launceston Technical College, guiding a group of female students in a lesson.
