Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.

Un hiver sur Poësia
Un vent glacial balaie des champs sans voix, sans vie
Et l’ombre projeté par les arbres dénudés retient son souffle
Sous la lumière grise et déclinante
D’une journée d’hiver au ciel fatigué
Coloré de blanc et de gris
Sans dessus dessous.
L’hiver nordique est mal aimé.
Tellement la loi naturelle qui le sous-tend apparait contraignante pour une société qui se donne l’illusion de pouvoir s’en affranchir…
En tout confort.
Et pourtant… C’est en hiver…
…que la magie du ciel étoilé nous donne l’impression de pouvoir toucher, de la main, à l’infini
…que la pleine lune inonde la trop longue nuit de ses jeux d’ombres et de lumière impressionnistes
…que les enfants reviennent à la maison les joues rougies de bonheur
…que le paysage s’offre aux artistes en toute simplicité
…que l’on reconnait en soi cet irrésistible été, promesse de lendemains scintillants.
Là-bas, une clôture s’est affaissée sous la force combinée du vent et du poids de la neige. Le fermier devra la réparer.
L’hiver, comme la vie elle-même, est persévérance

Winter on Poësia
An icy wind sweeps across voiceless, lifeless fields
And the shadow cast by the bare trees holds its breath
Under the gray and fading light
From a winter day with tired sky
Colored in white and gray
Upside down.
The Nordic winter is badly loved. So is the natural law which is at its core, and seems constraining for a society under the illusion that could escape it. . . in complete comfort.
And yet ... It's in winter ...
... that the magic of the starry sky gives us the impression of being able to touch, with our hands, infinity
... that the full moon floods the too long nights with its play of impressionist light and shadows
… Let the children come home with their cheeks reddened with happiness
... that the landscape offers itself to artists unpretentiously
... that we recognize in ourselves this irresistible summer, the promise of a scintillating tomorrow.
There, a fence collapsed under the combined force of the wind and the weight of the snow. The farmer will have to fix it.
Winter, as life itself, means perseverance.

Big old tree of Japanese Clethra looks gnarled & fantastic.
Botanical name: Clethra Anatolia; English name: Japanese Clethra. This tree grows slowly at this barren land.
リョウブは成長すると樹皮が剝げ落ちて, 木肌がツルツルになります。地上根は逞しい反面, 地下根は浅く短く, 幹は傾きがちです。特に土壌層が薄くて直ぐ溶岩層となる天城では, こんな格好に成ります。リョウブは成長速度が遅いので, この古木の樹齢は全く見当が付きません。

Back to reality!!! My brain is still foggy and resisting the idea of going back to work. I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays.
Found baby sea turtles last Christmas. I like the message of hope and strength they represent. Last year was certainly challenging but pushing through this year with a mindset of perseverance against adversity 😊
See my "About" page on Flickr for the link to support my efforts... just the price of a cup of coffee is appreciated. Thank you. www.flickr.com/people/jax_chile/

“By perseverance the snail reached the ark.”
We were out in the garden filling up Randie's little watering can
to water the flowers. We must have filled it up 3 times before I noticed
this little guy trying to escape sudden death trapped in the can filled with
water. A moment later another little fella followed :)
Good thing my mother in law was not around.. she would have stomped
on them!! Happy Sunday Everyone!!

Sunshine in the past week; it felt like Spring and sometimes even like Summer!
Rain and nothing but rain last weekend...it felt like Autumn...
And lots of snow and again since yesterday: Winter, so we have it all within one week! :-)
If you think you have a hard life... Think again!
(photo taken on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada)
the admirable ability of the plant to survive severe drought and harsh conditions and yet flower again.
The male mountain bluebird pictured here, perched on a poplar branch, was facing into a fairly strong wind during a downfall of freezing rain and snow. This was only the beginning. The area now has a thick blanket of snow and has been below 0 °C for days. Relief from the cold is still a few days away.
When I was checking on the bluebirds this morning, it was -6 °C with a bitter wind. I have seen only two on my last two visits. Earlier, when the weather was better, there were three. Last year there were six in the immediate area.
It is possible the weather has put a damper on some of the migration and more will show up when the weather warms up. I sure hope so!
Photography is about perseverance, patience, and passion. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've photographed a spot with the same composition and yet came away with something completely different. One can never really tell how the light will fall on your subject matter. The Power and Light District comes alive when the sun goes down.

Did you think this fool could never win?
Well, look at me.
I'm coming back again.
I'm still standing better than I ever did.
