We experience this Mystery in three ways: as Silence, as Word, and as Understanding. Word, in this sense, refers to all there is, since we experience it as somehow directed at us: it “speaks to us.” Word has its origin in Silence. Unless silence “comes to word,” our utterance is mere chitchat. Word aims at understanding. Understanding, in turn, is that dynamic process in which we listen so deeply to the Word that it takes hold of us and leads us back to its source—to Silence. The Cappadocian Fathers of the fourth century referred to this dynamic process as “the circle dance of the Blessed Trinity.”

Naches Peak Loop trail is one of the most beautiful in Mt Rainier NP. I took this shot hiking on the trail at sunset.
Another cute find in my garden, although frustratingly I didn't get this looping looper moth caterpillar sharp! It has such a distinctive-looking, and cute, face. Any ideas on ID much appreciated... as always I've looked at loads of images online and drawn a blank!
Thanks to curiosity thrills for the possible ID of brimstone moth caterpillar.

I keep the horses' riding tack—bridle, bit, and reins—hung on brackets on the wall of the little hay barn, one set for Spirit and one for Andy. To keep the long reins from drooping down to the floor, where they would be imperiled by passing goat hooves and cat paws, I loop the lower end of the reins up over the mounting bracket, creating the droplet shapes shown here, caught in the morning light spilling through the barn door.

Making your way in life in the most direct, straight-line fashion is not always achievable. Sometimes it’s because we get distracted. Other times it’s because we do not know the way. And maybe sometimes it’s just because we have the need to stop and play.
Taken with this camera.
Wait for something to come through the mach loop then this happens ,caught from tal-y-llyn all the way from RAF Mildenhall
It was an interesting afternoon of photography in Glacier National Park Montana as showers moved across the mountains which resulted in periods of rain alternating with glimpes of the sun. The light was interesting. This photo was taken when sunlight hit the mountains for a minute. This shuttle stop is located where The Going-To-The-Sun Highway makes a hairpin turn known as The Loop on the west side of the Continental Divide. On the Skyline in this photo Clements Mountain is on the right; Mount Oberlin is on the right center; Logan Pass in the left center and The Garden Wall is on the left side. On the mountainside beneath the Garden Wall, the trace of the highway as it climbs to the pass can be seen. Parking can be difficult along the Going-To-The-Sun Highway can be difficult during peak visitation. The shuttle system offers rides for hikers and others that want to park their car but get to other sites along the route.
The pricture is taken at the "Tiger and Turtle – Magic Mountain", an art installation and landmark in Angerpark, Duisburg/Germany. In 2013, Tiger and Turtle – Magic Mountain was ranked as #5 on The Huffington Post's list of Most Extreme Staircases. (see Wikipedia)

Photography show opening tonight at the Flower of Life Art Gallery in Lockport from 6-9. I have three pieces in the show. Here is the first one:
Chicagoan Loop
Photography – Glossy
40 x 60
Chicagoan Loop is a portrait of the people out and about in the downtown Loop district in Chicago. The title also hints that the people themselves are on somewhat of a loop: any day you venture out among them, you will always see people of every race, orientation, gender and religion. You will see people in costume, being peaceful protestors, celebrating at a rally, out for errands or to meet for lunch. We are all different and all individuals and in that way – we are all celebrated as being human beings. This collage portrait of the people of Chicago is comprised of 1,014 individual portraits.
ZBRLC winds its way around Tehachapi Loop as it climbs toward the summit on a beautiful but somewhat hazy February morning.
I had some time after meetings on this autumn day in the late afternoon to drive the famous Alpine Loop in Utah. The 17-mile drive is known for its bright autumn leaves, which start to appear in September, but tend to be at their best in October and into November--depending on the weather, of course.
A short eastbound manifest traverses the huge curved basallt fill bridging the gap between the western and eastern slopes of Lynch Coulee, in central Washington State. This track alignment is much better known and described as the 'Trinidad loop'.
This fill was constructed by the Great Northern in 1902 as part of a project to ease some of the tighter curves in the area, and replace a curved wooden trestle further south down the coulee. While some of the more sinuous trackage to the east was replaced, the ten degree curve over the fill remains a permanent speed restriction to this day. This track is part of the twelve mile stretch of 1% eastward grade up Trinidad Hill that begins at MP 1633 of BNSF's Columbia River Subdivision.
If this were the 1990's, I could assume the short manifest train of three bay grain hoppers and two bay covered hoppers separated by a few LPG tanks was the lowly #600 from Everett to Spokane. Today I'm not so sure. Either way, I was pleased to find anything rolling during daylight hours on the now sparsely used ex-GN mainline across Washington State.
