Long story tonight, read on if you have the patience :)
So I do have other birds in my yard besides hummingbirds. In fact, I'm so backed up on my photostream that I'll never post them all. I hate to post and run, and yet I don't have much time to comment, so then I don't post. I'm sure most of you can relate.
Now about this titmouse and odd title. It's a first year bird, as you can tell by the bit of pink at the gape of the mouth. Today this titmouse, or a sibling, was perched on the hummingbird feeder, lethargic and closing its eyes. Not a good sign. I gently picked it off the feeder (no struggle, another bad sign) and put in a shoebox, and off we rode to the songbird rehabber. After a thorough exam, which it protested (a good sign), the rehabber could only find a fat bruise on the head. It hit something, or was pecked by a grackle (I HATE the thought of that!). She will keep it for observation and feedings, and with any luck it can come home next weekend to be released.
If she makes it out of rehab, her name is Lilo. Get it? :)
And if you've made it this far, you might also be interested in some other yard birds I've posted in the first comment boxes.

A short hike in Read Mountain Preserve, to play with two vintage lenses: the Helios 44-2 58mm f2 and the Tokina AT-X 90mm f2.5 in Nikon mount (AKA Bokina). Both adapted to Sony A7Riv. This picture was taken with Russian made Helios lens.

*Frustrated idea. I swear. The moment I get good at post processing and get more clothes and props. Gah. :)) Originally, in my head, the photo was supposed to have this glamorous girl sitting in an old elegant chair in the corner of our staircase reading books from a path. Of course, this is far from that, but, I swear. Haha.
This is sort of conceptual but I don't think the message might be clear 'cause it was a kind of spur of the moment thing. Haha. :)

The Octopus Lady Reads a Book
there once was a girl born with eight legs, one for each of her mother's sins. there was one for lust and one for gluttony, one for anger and one for envy, one for pride, one for greed and even one for sloth. the eight leg, you ask? oh, it was simply for the sin of being born.
the girl with eight legs grew up and became a lady with eight legs. she liked to sit and think of stories of people so unlike herself. people who had a more fitting amount of legs, say four. even two, some lucky bastards. but she was born with eight and her burden was to bear them.
until she saw a book. and then her burden became a blessing, as her world started to shift and the sins started to slowly become virtues.

This was the fastest editing I have ever done. my computer decided to die three days ago and I only got a new one today — I spent my afternoon trying to set everything up in order to post, including photoshop, and that resulted in a slightly... rushed processing. Still. Oh well. The Octopus lady is here. :)

David
Michelangelo's David -
ArtistMichelangelo
Yearc. 1501 – June 8, 1504
MediumMarble sculpture
SubjectBiblical David
Dimensions517 cm × 199 cm (17 ft × 6.5 ft)
LocationGalleria dell'Accademia, Florence, Italy
Preceded byPietà
Followed byMadonna of Bruges
David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture, created between 1501 and 1504 by the Italian artist Michelangelo. With a height of 5.17-metre (17 ft 0 in) the David was the first colossal marble statue after antiquity, a precedent for the 16th century and beyond. David was originally commissioned as one of a series of statues of prophets to be positioned along the roofline of the east end of Florence Cathedral, but was instead placed in the public square in front of the Palazzo della Signoria, the seat of civic government in Florence, where it was unveiled on 8 September 1504. In 1873, the statue was moved to the Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence, and in 1910 replaced at the original location by a replica.
The biblical figure David was a favoured subject in the art of Florence.[1] Because of the nature of the figure it represented, the statue soon came to symbolize the defence of civil liberties embodied in the Republic of Florence, an independent city-state threatened on all sides by more powerful rival states and by the hegemony of the Medici family.
History
Commission
The history of the statue begins before Michelangelo's work on it from 1501 to 1504.[2] Prior to Michelangelo's involvement, the Overseers of the Office of Works of Florence Cathedral, consisting mostly of members of the influential woolen cloth guild, the Arte della Lana, had plans to commission a series of twelve large sculptures for the buttresses of the cathedral.[3] In 1410, Donatello made the first of the statues, a figure of Joshua in terracotta. A figure of Hercules, also in terracotta, was commissioned from the Florentine sculptor Agostino di Duccio in 1463 and was made perhaps under Donatello's direction.[4] Eager to continue their project, in 1464, the operai contracted Agostino[5] to create a sculpture of David.
A block of marble was provided from a quarry in Carrara, a town in the Apuan Alps in northern Tuscany. Agostino only got as far as beginning to shape the legs, feet, torso, roughing out some drapery, and probably gouging a hole between the legs. His association with the project ceased, for reasons unknown, with the death of Donatello in 1466, and ten years later Antonio Rossellino was commissioned to take up where Agostino had left off. Rossellino's contract was terminated soon thereafter, and the block of marble remained neglected for 26 years, all the while exposed to the elements in the yard of the cathedral workshop. This was of great concern to the opera authorities, as such a large piece of marble was not only costly, but represented a large amount of labour and difficulty in its transportation to Florence.
In 1500, an inventory of the cathedral workshops described the piece as "a certain figure of marble called David, badly blocked out and supine."[6] A year later, documents showed that the operai were determined to find an artist who could take this large piece of marble and turn it into a finished work of art. They ordered the block of stone, which they called 'the giant',[7] "raised on its feet" so that a master experienced in this kind of work might examine it and express an opinion. Though Leonardo da Vinci among others were consulted, and Andrea Sansovino was also keen to get the commission, it was Michelangelo, at 26 years of age, who convinced the operai that he deserved the commission.[8] On 16 August 1501, Michelangelo was given the official contract to undertake this challenging new task. It said:
"... the Consuls of the Arte della Lana and the Lords Overseers being met Overseers, have chosen as sculptor to the said Cathedral the worthy master, Michelangelo, the son of Lodovico Buonarrotti, a citizen of Florence, to the end that he may make, finish and bring to perfection the male figure known as the Giant, nine braccia in height, already blocked out in marble by Maestro Agostino grande, of Florence, and badly blocked; and now stored in the workshops of the Cathedral. The work shall be completed within the period and term of two years next ensuing, beginning from the first day of September..."[5]

This very tame Red-shouldered Hawk was hunting near the dam at Centennial Lake. It was trying for squirrels without any luck. We watched it preening in the sunshine and then it took off into the spring sky.
Providing you guys with this alternate picture i wanted to ask a question. I have just deleted my whole skyrim and can´t decide if i should install skyre again. I think it´s a cool mod with lots of replay value but it´s also incompatible with so many other mods so i wanted to hear your opinions whether to if i should download it or not. it would help alot if you guys would answer this question truthfully. Thx for letting me have your attention. :)

The bookstore part in Salts Mill, with its lovely fragrance, the sweet notes of classical music caressing ones ears... good for all the senses. We always come away with a big smile of contentment after a visit there.
Saltaire, near Bradford in West Yorkshire, is a mid-Victorian industrial village almost unchanged since it was built by Mill owner and philanthropist Sir Titus Salt built his village in the 19th century for the spiritual, physical and moral welfare of his workers, at the site of his mill for the spinning and weaving of Alpaca Wool.
After a period of decline, it is now an example of post-industrial renewal.
Saltaire, with its cobbled streets and honey-coloured stonework, has joined the Taj Mahal and the pyramids of Egypt as a Unesco World Heritage Site, thanks to its preservation as a Victorian Model Industrial Village.
Today his great mill complex is the key feature of Saltaire and houses the 1853 gallery containing the largest collection of art in Europe by renowned Bradfordian David Hockney
Have a great day and thank you for your valuable comments, M, (*_*)

I read this quote, “you are getting distracted again. You got dreams to chase, not to impress people. Wake up.” And I really feel that. I’m tired of doing what other people think of me and letting people’s thoughts about me torture me. If I just could be here…really here in the moment and fully me and go through my directions I allow myself to take I know I will be happier and successful and reach potential. I tend to hide in my room only going out with my camera or a cigarette most days. I would say to some people don’t ignore how you were treated and bury it but turn it into something. Trauma is complicated and sometimes we don’t even know we have it, we just try to live in survival mode. I ask myself am I me and if I was fully Dylan then would my truth be exponential in fulfillment? Of course so why am I scared? I know much more than most people we are only here a blip in time and there is so much to do and experience. I can’t put it off another day of collecting thoughts without forward action.
Okay some personal stuff has happened and I’m not going to be worried with LEGO or writing for perhaps... a long time. I won’t be answering what specifically happened though I know all of you will understand. See you later everyone and please...take your own mental health seriously. Thank you!

These are a few of my favorite books. Missing: Hesse's Steppenwolf and I can't for the life of my figure out who I loaned that to as well as Coupland's Life After God, which I have read a few times but like to keep handy in the car to read in waiting rooms. Oh and JD. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye and Franny and Zooey...I have no idea why or how I forgot these...maybe too obvious?
From top to bottom:
Vonnegut: Slaughterhouse Five
Galapagos
I know I'm probably not supposed to like the classic Vonnegut that everyone else likes but the book Slaughterhouse Five was there for me when I needed it and that's pretty much all you can ask of literature. Galapagos I think is Vonnegut at his best in alot of ways but it's also Vonnegut at perhaps his least hopeful...or atleast it shows he thinks we'd be better of as simpler creatures. I was sad to hear of his death recently...had tried to see him read a few years back and couldn't get into the downtown library as it was filled to capacity.
Virginia Woolf: To The Lighthouse:
I love Virginia Woolf and this book is not only flawless but WAY ahead of it's time. Virginia is both why I love being a woman (because we're wildly creative in the tangential way men aren't) and hate being a women (because we're just not very rational).
Don Delillo: Mao II
I know alot of people love White Noise but Mao II is an excellent delve into mass media and culture as well as the parallels between the writer and the terrorist. I found it fascinating.
Oscar Wilde: The Picture of Dorian Gray
I love so many things about Oscar Wilde and I suppose without him, we might never have had Morrissey if you think about it a certain way. I think his plays are of course hilarious but there's a darker side to Dorian Gray that he explores much more thoroughly than the mere inferences of many of his play characters.
Graham Greene: The Power and the Glory
I don't know...you know, there's something comforting and yet revealing and insightful in Greene. Haven't read this one in awhile and I feel it's about time I revisit it.
Paul Auster: City of Glass
I started reading Auster for an experimental fiction class I took in college and I find he is really one of those who is wildly creative and adept at speaking to the reader so that you feel you are almost part of the storyline...which is intriguing even if it is complex enough to warrant taking notes on.
Haruki Marukami: Norwegian Wood
I've read several of Murakami's books but none really hit me like this one (Hard Boiled Wonderland is perhaps a close second). I think maybe because it involves music intertwined with the frailty of relationships and the lives particularily of the women the protagonist falls in love with
Italo Calvino: Invisible Cities
This is the first book I read by Calvino-a collection of stories that really made me sense and dream more than any other short stories have...in the way that I wanted to just live in that place and nowhere else.
Milan Kundera: The Unbearable Lightness of Being
I'm no stranger to Kundera and, though I haven't quite read everything yet, every book I have read is profound in its own way and gets me to think about identity, gestures, and moments in a consideration and perspective I would never have before. The problem is, every time I read Kundera, I actually go through a major depression.
John Berger: To The Wedding
Berger is an art critic as well so some of his descriptions are just very visually appealing. I've read G and King as well and enjoyed those but To The Wedding had that extra something that made me read it twice and cry both times.
Andrew Sean Greer: The Confessions of Max Tivoli:
Soon to be made into a film starring Brad Pitt (blech!) is this book. I discovered it a year or so ago and it was one of those books I read frantically as if I was incredibly scared I might die before finishing it. It is fantastic-about being born as an old man and aging in reverse and losing everyone around you as you slowly become so young you are an infant. It's also about the nature of changing relationships and, of course, despair.
Sarah Vowell: Assassination Vacation
I love Sarah...she's such a political geek but she equates alot of the politics and feelings to music somehow in a way you don't see coming and she makes trekking across America to find various plaques on Lincoln seem like the most exciting thing on earth.
DBC Pierre: Vernon God Little
I still haven't read his new one as I've had trouble finding it...I thought this book was as creative as it was grim and I'm still not so sure about the ending (as in what end up actually happening) Set in the death penalty capital of the world, Texas.
Flannery O'Connor (Stories)
I've been pressuring a certain friend of mine to read Flannery (sorry Rory) because I love her sometimes even more than Virgina Woolf, which I didn't even think was possible. Flannery is one of those short writers that is always profound and brilliant. She has endings that just make your jaw drop. Favorites: "Parker's Back" "The Lame Shall Enter First."
Jose Saramago: Blindness
Seeing (techincally the sequel) is also brilliant but you just have to read this first...it's about the nature of seeing and the fabric that sight weaves into our reality and world. Any must for a photographer who is curious about how a society would react if they all went completely blind. And, of course, it's a character study into the darkness of man and all that. Seeing is more political and explores the idea of how far pretty much any government will go to oppress its own people in order to keep in power.
Douglas Coupland: Girlfriend in a Coma
I've read every work of fiction Coupland has ever written and I have a great friend in NYC who is always getting me Coupland's autographs. This one is a definite favorite-particularily for the ending which encourages you to get out in the world and actually change things at the expense of your livelihood and sanity-question everything and make the world a better place...a place you'd actually want to live in. I've read this book several times-have memorized passages of it-and tend to read it whenever I feel I am slipping into a very deep depression.
John Irving: A Prayer for Owen Meany
I read this book when I was in high school and it was one of the first books that made me weep. It is so moving and I really cherish it as a complete work of fiction.
Jeffrey Eugenides: Middlesex
This book is epic in its coverage of the multigenerational story of a family who came from Greece to Detroit. The main character is an intersexual (born with both organs) which goes undiscovered by his parents. He is raised as a girl even though he strongly feels male. It has alot to do with psychology but it just also makes you feel with excellent writing. The Virgin Suicides misses the mark relative to this one. I'm not sure if he'll ever write anything as good.
Douglas Adams: Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Everyone needs a little lightness once in awhile and the kind Adams provides is guilt free because it is so intelligent and creative that you don't feel bad for laughing even if famine and global warming are making you feel like it's the end of the world.
Salman Rushdie: The Ground Beneath Her Feet
Ok...so the ending isn't as great as 90% of the rest of this but it is still a brilliant book filled with rich storytelling and connections to music. Any avid photographer will read it and fall in love with the protagonist Rai who takes photographs despite all danger and forsaking rational thought. And when I mean fall in love, I don't mean some flippant way. I mean...you wish he existed.
Last but not least...
The Riverside Shakespeare
It's funny because I never fully "got" Shakespeare when I was in high school and had to read play after play. I mean, I liked Romeo and Juliet (duh! Romeo was hot and obviously good at poetry!) and all that but I didn't really connect with it until I took Shakespeare in college. There are many brilliant plays that you don't fully sense until you really study them and analyze them at length but the one that is my favorite above all the others is King Lear and the ending always makes me weep like a little girl:
"Why should a dog, a horse, a rat, have life and thou no breath at all? Thou'lt come no more, Never never never never never."
