I wasn't sure if there was a collective noun for umbrellas so was delighted when Madame Google gave me 'phalanx' to my query. This was seen during a walkabout in Nice. Obviously I absolutely love the riot of colour.

The softened light, the veiling haze,

The calm repose of autumn days,

Steal gently o'er the troubled breast,

Soothing life's weary cares to rest.

This lovely origami model is called "Rain Star" or in Spanish "Estrella de la Lluvia", because when it was created by Aldo Marcell it was raining ;-)

 

I wanted to see what the difference is when I changed the color, so that's why you see 2 variations, I like them both....which one has your preference?

 

I put them on a mirror so you can see at the same time the other site.

A month or so ago, I quoted some analysts saying that it won't last more than 3 months and now here we are, right at the endgame. As Graham E Fuller -- formerly vice-chair of the National Intelligence Council, former Station Chief in Kabul for the CIA -- put it succinctly in his blog on 16th this month :

 

" The final end of the government in Kxxx is at hand as the inexorable logic of regime collapse gains momentum. It seems more of a surprise to current policymakers than to those many observers with a long-time familiarity with the country’s dynamics. It will not be pleasant to watch, but it has long been inevitable given the utterly unrealistic ambitions and poor policy execution that Washxxx has maintained in Afgxxx. Unfortunately, those darker, but more insightful views on the entire enterprise have long been largely stifled by our media...

 

... it is the overall decline of Amxxx domestically and geopolitically that is the telltale sign of its deeper weakness; there is an increasing international belief that the UX is living inside a fantasy bubble of denial about maintaining its global hegemony. If the 20-year UX military presence in Afgxxx had actually ever shown any serious concrete advancement towards concrete goals, that would be one thing. But the neocons are ever content to throw good money after bad in the blind pursuit of hegemony — even in the very heart of “the graveyard of empires...

 

But Washxxx’s focus on Afgxxx in reality has had very little to do with establishing a better and more equitable society for the Afgxxx... "

On another occasion, I opined that ( amongst the Russian cellists ) " the audience have probably heard too much of Rostropovich, too little of Daniil Shafran, rarely of Knushevitsky, hardly of Yakov Slobodkin, mostly due to the monopoly of the media! Has it occured to them that the order should be the other way round ? " That is to say, if one is really looking for genuine artists and musicians instead of virtuoso, showmanship, dancing to the tune of propaganda narratives :

Smokey Robinson - The Tears Of A Clown

 

www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the+tears+of+a+clown

 

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

 

Now if there's a smile on my face

It's only there trying to fool the public

But when it comes down to fooling you

Now honey, that's quite a different subject

 

But don't let my glad expression

Give you the wrong impression

Really, I'm sad

Oh, I'm sadder than sad

You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad

Like a clown I pretend to be glad

 

Now there's some sad things known to man

But ain't too much sadder than

The tears of a clown

When there's no one around

 

Oh yeah, baby

 

Now if I appear to be carefree

It's only to camouflage my sadness

In order to shield my pride I've tried

To cover this hurt with a show of gladness

 

But don't let my show convince you

That I've been happy since you

Decided to go

Oh, I need you so

I'm hurt and I want you to know

But for others I put on a show

 

Oh, there's some sad things known to man

But there ain't too much sadder than

The tears of a clown

When there's no one around, oh yeah

 

Just like Pagliacci did

I try to keep my sadness hid

Smiling in the public eye

But in my lonely room I cry

The tears of a clown

When there's no one around

 

Oh yeah, baby

 

Now if there's a smile on my face

Don't let my glad expression

Give you the wrong impression

Don't let this smile I wear

Make you think that I don't care

Really, I'm sad

Hurtin' so bad

I often wonder about things we don't know about.Will I ever see one of these things for real.

Flying saucers use to be my childhood obsession.

I always wanted to know. If I saw, I would know for sure.

Never have.

Black-Headed Grosbeak is a migratory bird, with nesting grounds from southwestern British Columbia, through the western half of the United States, into central Mexico. It occurs as a vagrant further south in Central America.

  

The grosbeak's song is a rich warble that is similar to that of an American Robin, but more fluent, faster, softer, sweeter, and mellow with rising and falling passages that make the song much longer than the robin's. The note is a sharp ik or eek. Both the male and female sing, but have different songs. Wikipedia

 

They sound beautiful, if you care to listen……

"Pretty woman, walkin' down the street

Pretty woman the kind I like to meet

Pretty woman I don't believe you, you're not the truth

No one could look as good as you, mercy

Pretty woman won't you pardon me

Pretty woman I couldn't help but see

Pretty woman that you look lovely as can be

Are you lonely just like me

Pretty woman stop awhile

Pretty woman talk awhile

Pretty woman give your smile to me

Pretty woman yeah, yeah, yeah

Pretty woman look my way

Pretty woman say you'll stay with me

'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right

Come with me baby, be mine tonight

Pretty woman don't walk on by

Pretty woman don't make me cry

Pretty woman don't walk away, hey, OK

If that's the way it must be, OK

I guess I'll go on home, it's late

There'll be tomorrow night, but wait

What do I see?

Is she walkin' back to me?

Yeah, she's walkin' back to me

Oh, oh, pretty woman."

With Castle Rock in the distance. Not an original name but certainly eye catching, I've spent the last hour trying to find the origins of the ominous name for this peaceful inlet of Banks Lake, but alas, we are left to wonder. Charlotte, I forgot to respond to your previous query, those are indeed ducks. :-)

World, I want to leave you better

I want my life to matter

I am afraid I have no purpose here

I watch the news on TV

Abandon myself daily

I am afraid to let you see the real me

Rain it falls, rain it falls

Pouring on me

And the rain it falls, rain it falls

Sowing the seeds of love and hope, love and hope

We don't have to stay here, stuck in the weeds

Have I the courage to change?

An eastbound junk train with Norfolk Southern's Southern Railway Heritage Unit doing the honors rolls eastward past the Wabash searchlights at Wakenda, MO on a beautiful spring morning. We almost said "Screw it" on this train, and left for Kansas City, but after a quick query of the power we decided it best to stick around and capture this nice looking motor in the mid-morning sun.

Built for the Afrofuturism contest over on LEGO Ideas.

 

Inspired by the Anansi stories of the Akan people of West Africa. Sometimes Anansi is depicted as being a spider with the head of a man. I chose to have him be robotic, with the face of a tribal mask. One of the main Anansi stories is about how Anansi obtained the stories of the Sky-God Nyame, whom I have reinterpreted here as being an all-seeing satellite in the skies above. I also thought it would be appropriate for Anansi to share all of those stories across the world-wide-web. The "web portal" behind him I shaped similarly to the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum in Accra, Ghana. The pattern on the panels flanking each side of the portal are meant to mimic the adinkra symbol "NEA ONNIM NO SUA A, OHU" ("He who does not know can know from learning").

 

EDIT: This was selected in the Top-10 (yay!), and now the fan vote is open. Think I might have been the only finalist to use physical bricks too... thanks again, everyone for the support!

Tibetan name is Lake Mapam Yutso

 

Manasarovar, the great turquoise lake. Unvanquished Turquoise Lake, another name of Manasarovar. the Ever-cool Turquoise Lake, Manasarovar. Lake Manasarovar. At 4572 meters, and with 320 square kilometers, Lake Manasarovar is one of the the highest large body of fresh water in the world.

 

Its other names are the Unvanquished Turquoise Lake (ma pham g.yu mtsho), Anavatapta, the Ever-cool Lake (mtsho ma dros pa), and the Divine Lotus Lake (padma lha mtsho). It is called the Unvanquished Lake because when one examines all the other great lakes of Tibet to see if they possess the eight qualities of perfect water (chu yan lag brgyad ldan) they are faulty in some respect. It is called Turquoise Lake because its limpid waters resemble a turquoise mandala. It is given the name Ever- cool Lake because it is the palace of the naga king Anavatapta, "Who Never Warms Up." It is called Divine Lotus Lake because it resembles a fully opened eight-petaled lotus. [MR]. Manasarovar A lake in western Tibet, near Mount Kailash, sacred to Chakrasamvara.

Florence + The Machine - Breath Of Life

 

Estaba buscando un respiro de vida

Un pequeño toque de luz celestial

Pero todos los coros en mi cabeza cantaron "NO"

 

Conseguir un sueño de vida otra vez

Una pequeña visión del comienzo del fin

Pero todos los coros en mi cabeza cantaron "NO"

 

Solo necesitaba un toque mas

Probar otra vez la ráfaga celestial

...y lo creo , yo lo creo así

Pero todos los coros de mi cabeza cantaron "NO"
