Todos os anos elas chegam lentamente. Vão aos poucos povoando o Parque Ecológico de Campinas.Nesta captura consegui o momento em que uma delas carregava um galho para construir o ninho.
RECIPE FOR MAKING THE COLOUR BLUE
If you wish to make the colour blue
take a piece of sky and put it in a pot
large enough to place on the flame of the horizon.
Stir into the blue a pinch of early morning red
until it dissolves. Pour everything
into a brass bowl that has been well washed
to eliminate all of the afternoon’s impurities.
Finally, sift in a few smidgens of gold from the sand
of midday until the colour adheres to the bottom of the bowl.
To prevent the colours from separating with time,
drop a charred peach pit into the liquid.
It will disintegrate, leaving no telltale
sign, not even – from the black ash – an ochre trace
on the golden surface. You may then raise the colour
to eye level and compare it with genuine blue.
The two colours will look so alike
that you cannot distinguish one from the other.
This was how I did it – I, Abraham ben Judah Ibn Haim,
illuminator from the town of Loulé. And I left the recipe
for whoever, one day, would imitate the sky.

ARRANGEMENTS
To weigh
a ball proves nothing
about the colour.
You look at
a ruler
and you hear
a piano.
While counting
eleven
sparrows their
rhythm escapes.
A dash
the length of
a now older
child.
Arranging flowers
by colour?
Their size
will be lost.
There she goes and
she isn’t being
photographed
by anyone.

Nurseries get ready ... its still cool over night... not yet proper planting time for delicate summer plants...
There were many of these little nursery stumps along the trail to Lake Ann and Marion Falls last night. All had a unique character of their own, but these three seemed to be conversing about something. I had to interrupt and tell them "Hey, you guys are nicely lit!"
A close up look at a Mother of Thousands plant. Each of those little buds will make a new plant when they drop off.
The spinach plot is one of the optimum places in the garden for getting insect and arachnid photo opportunities. The denseness of the leafage gives these creatures every chance to escape and hide if necessary. The leaves are also angled perfectly for sunbathing sessions at all times of the day. This nursery web spider was taking full advantage of the lovely sunny afternoon.
As we descend lower back towards Glenshee after climbing Carn Aosda and The Cairnwell, we pass what would, in winter, be the nursery training slopes, bordered by fencing. In the distance the high Munro summits of Carn an Tuirc and Cairn of Claise can be seen. But this is it folks, until the next time I'll bid you adieu.
This trip sees me bagging 2 more Munro's. Carn Aosda, my 22nd Munro, stands at 917 meters (3008 feet), while The Cairnwell, my 23rd Munro, stands at 933 meters (3061 feet). They do both stand at the heart of the Glenshee Ski Development, so may be not a pretty or remote as some other Munro's.
