Hello everyone!
Have you seen Pooh Bear?
He is not in the Hundred Acre Wood
Smile on Saturday: La vie en rose
The question yesterday as we prepared for a hike was cameras or no cameras? The answer was yes cameras although I wasn't feeling high energy so I compromised with a lighter camera body D850 and short lens 300mm VR PF f/4. When the owl flew by we were very happy that we had had agreed cameras :)
in the eyes of a cat I read a dumb question: why did you come?.in the wasteland the only stone that has heated up during the day and on it sits a nice cat..I am often asked why I like cats? A cat is a symbol of freedom and independence. They rarely show aggression. They are our doctors. They are just very, very cute:)
We do not always see what is before our face -
sometimes we see what we hope to see,
or fear we will see.
Quote - Jonathan Lockwood Huie
The question is what do you see ;-))
Le maître-autel est exceptionnel, il a la particularité d’être également le monument aux morts. Surplombé par une représentation de la résurrection de Lazare, les noms des morts de la commune encadrent le tabernacle, mêlant ainsi le souvenir traumatique de la guerre et l’espérance de la Résurrection. Cette église est l’exemple même de l’état d’esprit des survivants de la tragédie de la Grande Guerre.
Ian Van Dahl - Castles In The Sky (10 Element Deep Remix 2016) Have this tune on^^
Do you ever question your Life?
Do you ever wonder why?
Do you ever see in your dreams,
all the castles in the sky?
Oh tell me why, do we build castles in the sky?
Oh tell me why, all the castles way up high.
Please tell me why, do we build castles in the sky?
Oh tell me why, all the castles way up high.

Thank you, everyone, for the comments and faves to my posting last week of Salthenge. There were many questions from that shot, so I wanted to take time and answer for everyone.
Today's view of Salthenge includes two folding chairs to give it scale.
If you want to leave comments, please add to the other one here flic.kr/p/2kTxRt1
Q: Who created it?
A; Still unknown. I am betting on aliens, and its a secret signal
Q: Where are the footprints?
A: Further proof of aliens......this section of salt is rock hard and not like beach sand. Many areas of the lake has loose / soft salt that is fragile, but this area is sunbaked hard, like concrete.
A bigger problem is tracking dirt/sand on the salt and leaving those dirt footprints (I was extra careful)
Q: Where did the rocks come from?
A: Aliens or an area of rocks about 66 meters / 216 feet away
Q: How large is this?
A: Did my photo today help give it scale? Maybe I should let you know those folding chairs are 12.7cm /5 inches tall :-) No drone involved, just the mini chairs and my Sony a7iii :-)
Q: How long will it last?
A: Humans create things, and just as fast, they destroy things. It becomes much harder to take apart if it lasts a few months as the salt will act like concrete holding them in place.
Q: How big are the rocks?
A: The largest one is maybe 6 inches / 15cm. The entire circle is about 2 meters / 6.5 feet
Q: Roy wants to know why comments are always off
A: Roy, they are only off for you :-) No one else has this problem.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.

The tree, or not the tree, that is the question ...
Ёлка или не ёлка, вот в чём вопрос.
Поздравляю со Старым Новым Годом!
Caught this girl in a moment of what looked like quiet reflection, and it got me wondering if such creatures actually think, they say for every idea conceived somewhere else it exists. It also took me back to the rhetorical question from the movie the Fly (1986) when Brundle asks, "Have you ever heard of insect politics?! Neither have I." As later explained insects do not have politics but therein lies just how much worse the human thinking is, we have politics and still are brutal, but have a conceited and externalising sociopolitical excuse to pardon ourselves or blame others whilst remaining so appalled at the way natural predators behave. Is it little wonder that so many people prefer the company of animals and not other people?!
Here's to a great weekend ahead, I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)
What's my purpose?
Oh, what's my future? I don't know
These are the questions I address before I go to sleep
I wish my mind would turn off with the lights
And my TV screen, but here in the dark, everything off
I start to think
It gets hard to breathe
I, I, I, I, I'm in over my
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my— I'm in over my head
All these thoughts are an ocean I'm drowning in
I'm in over my— I'm in over my head
I'm in over my— I'm in over my head
I'm in over my— I'm in over my head
There are times when I question my own sanity – this photo is a good example. I waited two hours to get just the right light at this silly little water fall.
When I arrived half the Hayes Creek Falls water was in bright sun and the other half in shadow. I loved the way the water flows on this and couldn’t walk away without a good shot. So I waited and waited and waited…..
Roundly shaped , hemispherical , basket-like boats are commonly used in this area of Vietnam . Advantageous to fishermen when they need to turn round and move quickly while at work .
To answer a question from my good friend Hamim Chowdhury ; Yes , it was sunrise .
Probably a loaded question : Does your wiener smile? lol
If not, it should be. Piper with her favourite toy -- Hot doggity-do!
Have a great weekend everyone! Another scorching heat wave for us (Texas can take back its weather anytime)

"Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day."
- Ranier Maria Rilke
Aha....this tune is so darn lovely
Hope that day is going well

Pink
Pink it´s my new obsession
Pink it´s not even a question
Pink on the lips of your lover,
´Cause pink is the love you discover
Pink as the bing on your cherry
Pink ´cause you are so very
Pink it´s the color of passion
`Cause today it just goes with the fashion
Pink it was love at first sight,
Yeah, pink when I turn out the light,
And pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
You could be my flamingo
´Cause pink is the new kinda lingo
Pink like a deco umbrella
It´s kink - but you don´t ever tell her
Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
I want to be your lover
I want to wrap you in rubber
As pink as the sheets that we lay on
`Cause pink is my favorite crayon, yeah
Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink it´s like red but not quite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight

Les services du rail ont été essentiels dans le développement de l’industrie locale au début du XIXe siècle. Le bassin d’Épinac-les-Mines s’est trouvé confronté à la question de l’amélioration de ses débouchés par le transport à moindre coût de ses productions vers les sites de consommations, pour faire face à la concurrence.
Le projet de rendre l’Arroux navigable et sa jonction au canal jusqu’à Dijon n’eut peu d’intérêt face à la volonté du propriétaire des mines de houille d’Épinac, Samuel Blum, qui eut l’initiative de vouloir créer une ligne de chemin de fer. L’ingénieur autunois Eugène Berthot rendit un avis très favorable en avril 1828 quant à l’utilité de cette ligne de chemin de fer, en raison du développement de ce bassin minier. L’ingénieur sera chargé d’étudier le tracé de la voie. Les préfets procéderont aux enquêtes locales.
Ainsi le projet de chemin de fer d’Épinac, créé en 1829, a été une des toutes premières voies ferrées construites en France. À vocation industrielle, le chemin a été construit pour relier les mines d’Épinac par une voie unique débutant au Curier, jusqu’à la gare de Pont d’Ouche située près du canal de Bourgogne.
Ce fut une des premières concessions attribuées à la Compagnie des Houillères. Ce chemin de fer avait été conçu pour le transport de la houille, mais a eu un destin difficile. La ligne était relativement isolée, non reliée à une ligne principale. Ses propriétaires, n’ont pas eu les moyens de leur ambition pour créer à partir de cette voie, un réseau concurrent à celui de la compagnie PLM, à laquelle elle échut après que l’État eut racheté la concession.
La ligne de construction archaïque bénéficia d’une modernisation par PLM pour le seul transport de voyageurs, à une époque où se posait déjà l’avenir des lignes secondaires. Elle connut le même sort et le service voyageur allait lui aussi définitivement fermé.

Can you spot the small silver question mark (punctuation mark) etched into this butterfly's hind wing when seen from the ventral view? Question marks are marvelous dead leaf mimics.
Leandro Erlich, "Port of Reflexions", 2014, structure métallique, bois, bateaux en fibre de verre, moquette noire, miroir, éclairage et système de mouvement.
" La première installation, une entrée en matière poétique, nous plonge dans une semi-obscurité. Le visiteur zigzague sur une rampe qui débouche sur un embarcadère. Il domine alors un petit port où six barques sont amarrées et tanguent doucement. On entend le clapotis de l'eau. C'est paisible et tout à fait charmant. Mais à y regarder de plus près... il y a un truc qui cloche. On réalise peu à peu qu'il n'y a pas d'eau sous les bateaux et que les reflets qu'on était certain d'avoir vus sont des mirages. On s'amuse alors à essayer de comprendre. Comment a-t-il fait pour nous berner ?
Un seul bateau a ses rames dans l'eau. Leur reflet est en réalité une sculpture en bois. Les six barques que l'on aurait juré avoir comptées ne sont que trois. Un système mécanique les fait osciller. Parce qu'elles ressemblent à des bateaux, bougent comme des bateaux et parce que nous savons que les bateaux flottent sur l'eau, notre cerveau a imaginé le reste.
L'œuvre révèle combien nous voyons les choses à travers le prisme de nos préjugés. Elle invite à se questionner sur le rapport entre l'image et la réalité, d'où son titre : Port of Reflexions. Faut-il douter de tout ? Comment démêler le faux du vrai ? "

Well, here he is !!!!!! I really do like this origami model, hope it makes you smile too ;-))
I presented the two parts first in black and white (see first comment box), so it would be more a surprise when you would see it ensembles in color.
But still the question remains: do we have an answer…. or….?
(If you don't know that the question was, please read the description belonging tot the photo 'Soulmate', see first comment box.
Wishing your fabulous and most happy Friday!!!

First outing (I believe) for this Jaguar E-Type, one of six recently built by Jaguar Heritage using the original run of chassis numbers, and sold for approximately £1.2 million each.
Finished in a stunning shade of blue, the car looked fantastic in the paddock and on track. While some question the legitimacy of these cars being eligible to race, the way these continuation models were built, and with the price of the original cars now at £7 million, this may be the only option if you want to see these kind of cars race nowadays.

Photo : A Campan (750 m sur le niveau de la mer), les grandes chutes de neige sont de plus en plus rares. Mais des averses de neige tombent encore trois quatre fois l’an. Elles apportent de la gaité blanche sur les toits et quelques glissades dans les rues. Peu d’enfants désormais construisent des bonshommes de neige ; elle ne reste pas longtemps. Comme chaque année, la question est : la neige, tombera-t-elle pour Noël ?
Foto: En Campan (Pirineo central francés, 750 m sobre el nivel del mar), las nevadas importantes son cada vez más raras. Pero todavía caen chubascos de nieve tres o cuatro veces al año. Aportan alegría blanca a los tejados y algunos resbalones en las calles. Ya son pocos los niños que construyen muñecos de nieve; ella no se queda mucho tiempo. Como cada año, la pregunta de cada habitante es: ¿habrá nieve en Navidad?
the yellow-billed spoonbill (Platalea flavipes)
The question is:
How does the spoonbill make a little fish jump into its open mouth?
A biologist's answer is:
The answer lies in its extraordinary spoon.
The spoonbill's answer is:
How? The good Lord knows. I just do it.

The derelict Myrtle B Fonteno Building in Houston, formerly used by the Mental Health Mental Retardation Authority of Harris County. You can learn as much as I know about the place by overriding your spell checker and searching for it. Now home to a lot of interesting graffiti, as we will see in due course. Many questions; e.g. Shouldn't the county manage this asset? How did the many contributing street artists allocate space?
I'll flip back to Waxahachie for more Renaissance portraits, but wanted to mix up the subjects and aspect ratios on my photo stream a little.
This is a three-shot merge, my first such attempt. Turns out to be trickier than I thought, but the result is not too bad.
