“I turn my heart to the light and receive its beauty and nourishment. I turn my heart to the shadows as they reveal hues, shades and textures that contrast the light. I turn my heart to them both and embrace their gifts, for they have graced me with blessings untold.”
― Kristin Granger
“We find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates.”

Open your heart to sympathy, but close it against despondency. The flower which opens to receive the dew shuts against the rain.

Chalk streams are rivers that rise from springs in landscapes with chalk bedrock. Since chalk is permeable, water percolates easily through the ground to the water table and chalk streams therefore receive little surface runoff. ... Of the 210 rivers classified as chalk streams globally, 160 are in England
Poike, the oldest volcano:
The Poike volcano was the first piece of land that emerged from the sea and, together with subsequent volcanic eruptions, formed the present territory of Easter Island. Its somewhat remote and isolated location and its difficult access make Poike a little-visited place. However, this mysterious territory contains secret corners and ancient legends that invite to discover it calmly and to know better the past of the island.
Poike, the first volcano on the island:
The name of Poike, usually translated by “hill”, seems to come from the Rapanui expression “Po” (night); “ike” (break) which means “place where the night breaks” because it is the first place on the island that receives the first rays of the rising sun.
Indeed, the Poike is located at the eastern end of Easter Island, and is the oldest of the three main volcanoes on the island, next to the Rano Kau and the Ma’unga Terevaka, which originated their formation. It is estimated that this first eruptive center emerged from the sea about 3 million years ago creating the so-called Poike Peninsula, although its activity was maintained until about 300 thousand years ago. Originally this peninsula was an island but later it was joined to the main body of the island, by lava flows coming from the Terevaka and other nearby volcanic centers.
The Poike is now an inactive volcano with a fairly symmetrical cone shape. The main crater has a circular shape and by its resemblance to a halo of sun or moon was called Pua Katiki, although in another version its name would mean “hill that serves to monitor the cattle.” Unlike other craters, this is totally dry and measures around 150 meters in diameter and about 10 meters deep. Inside a small eucalyptus forest grows that crowns the summit like a leafy green plume visible from afar.
From Pua Katiki, where the Poike reaches a maximum height of 460 meters, a wide plain of gentle slope is observed. which covers an area of about 4.5 km from east to west and 3.5 km from north to south. This large area, almost exclusively covered by a type of grass called here hoi (Sporobolus indicus), ends abruptly on 100-meter-high coastal cliffs formed by the continuous erosion of the sea on the Poike peninsula.
_______________________________________________
For some unknown reason, during the period of construction of the large statues, considered the golden age of the island, it is believed that the inhabitants of the Poike peninsula remained separate from the others and hardly participated in the work of carving in the quarries of Rano Raraku.
One proof of its isolation is that only two of the statues found in the Poike are made of the lapilli tuff of the Rano Raraku, while the rest of the statues were made of the white trachyte coming from the Poike deposits.

The Doolough Tragedy is an event that took place during the Great Irish Famine close to Doo Lough in southwest County Mayo.
On Friday 30 March 1849, two officials of the Westport Poor Law Union arrived in Louisburgh to inspect those people in receipt of outdoor relief to verify that they should continue to receive it. The inspection, for some reason, did not take place and the two officials went on to Delphi Lodge – a hunting lodge – 19 kilometres (12 miles) south of Louisburgh where they intended to spend the night. Several hundred people who had gathered for the inspection, or later did so, were consequently instructed to appear at Delphi Lodge at 7am the following morning if they wished to continue receiving relief.
For much of the night and day that followed seemingly hundreds of destitute and starving people had to undertake what for them, given their existing state of debilitation, was an extremely fatiguing journey, in very bad weather.
A letter-writer to The Mayo Constitution newspaper reported shortly afterwards that the bodies of seven people, including women and children, were subsequently discovered on the roadside between Delphi and Louisburgh overlooking the shores of Doolough lake and that nine more never reached their homes. While some sources put the total number of deaths at approximately 20 people, local sources suggest that the number who perished was far higher.

We receive a radio call that a Leopard with 2 cubs was seen in a cave of Kudu Rock.
We spend 2 days and more than 6 hrs staring at this cave.
On the first evening we could vaguely see them inside.
Our patience paid off on the 2nd morning.
We were not sure if the cats were still there at all.
Suddenly she appears on the foot of the rock, only to quickly disappear inside the cave.
Should that have been it?
A 2 minute sighting for 6 hrs wait?
We were lucky, the beauty climbed out again and we had the opportunity for some nice shots.
Unfortunately we did not get to see the little ones.
I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

A brace of Delaware-Lackawanna ALCOs storms the grade to Pocono Summit with cars from the Norfolk Southern interchange at Slateford Junction. With all traffic arriving off the NS at Taylor now, there are no Portland Turns like this one. But business is healthy and loaded grain, as well as lumber and propane, from Scranton still creates a need for monster lash-ups. Lead C636 3642 would receive a new diamond logo before the next Spring thankfully.
Sometimes love is just something very fragile, almost did not touch. But who of us feel it, enjoy it, receive it.
Do you want my love forever even a lifetime?
The sky is opening up and I have finally learned to receive.
We are often giving and giving, but we need to receive too.
There must be a balance in things, in life, in relationships.
When there is balance we will grow from within, it will nourish yourself as well as your surroundings.
The best domino there is 😍

The image that pops up in the minds of every Indian when the name of ‘North-Bengal’ is taken is of unadulterated and uncontaminated natural splendor. Hidden amidst misty clouds, the tiny hamlet of Lava is often considered the gateway of the pristine Neora Valley National Park. Located about 30 kilometres from Kalimpong and nestled in virgin pine forests, Lava is one of the few places in West Bengal to receive snowfall.It is Located at an altitude of 2350 metres.
It has been one of the known bird watching paradise for many years. The surrounding Pine and Juniper forests makes it an ideal habitat for birds. Rangbang Valley, Upper Rishi Valley, and Neora Valley provides great birding vantage points. Several species of birds can be seen here like Hill Partridge, Tawny Owl, Hawks, Darjeeling Woodpecker, Great Barbet, Golden Throated Barbet etc.
Which is greater? To give to someone dear or in need or to feel so grateful to have received a gift of beauty. The gift needn’t be an object of material value. It may be a deed given from one to another. It could be information or advice. Kindness comes is given and received all the time. A bouquet of Roses or a single Rose doesn’t matter. The gesture given is endearing and the feeling of receiving any such thoughtfulness is a moving experience we feel. When either happens, the giving of ourselves in any way means there’s a warmth that comes over us. Likewise being the recipient of kindness of any kind warms us knowing we are thought of and cared for. Always the same is true. “To Give Or Receive Beauty” and what it does to us is an enriching and rewarding part of the human experience. Thanks for viewing my work.

when my strong arms receive you,
the voices of absence, sweetly
our leisures will count two paths
without anyone, with the two of them, never and always.
And the pair of words messes
to deep unity. and so much number
is reduced to the edge of the encounter
with amazement of being poetry.
I no longer know how to walk except towards you.
The rose of paths of your absence
alert in me the scent of return
and the hidden word of his science.
I hear my name in you, I am your presence.

Turkey vulture sitting in the top of a dead tree in the reserve.
The turkey vulture (Cathartes aura), also known in some North American regions as the turkey buzzard (or just buzzard), and in some areas of the Caribbean as the John crow or carrion crow, is the most widespread of the New World vultures. One of three species in the genus Cathartes of the family Cathartidae, the turkey vulture ranges from southern Canada to the southernmost tip of South America. It inhabits a variety of open and semi-open areas, including subtropical forests, shrublands, pastures, and deserts.
Like all New World vultures, it is not closely related to the Old World vultures of Europe, Africa, and Asia. The two groups strongly resemble each other because of convergent evolution; natural selection often leads to similar body plans in animals that adapt independently to the same conditions
The turkey vulture is a scavenger and feeds almost exclusively on carrion. It finds its food using its keen eyes and sense of smell, flying low enough to detect the gasses produced by the beginnings of the process of decay in dead animals.
In flight, it uses thermals to move through the air, flapping its wings infrequently. It roosts in large community groups. Lacking a syrinx—the vocal organ of birds—its only vocalizations are grunts or low hisses. It nests in caves, hollow trees, or thickets. Each year it generally raises two chicks, which it feeds by regurgitation. It has very few natural predators.
In the United States, the vulture receives legal protection under the Migratory Treaty Act of 1918.

Reddish Egret
The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeder in Central America, The Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Gulf Coast of the United States, and Mexico. There is post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range. In the past, this bird was a victim of the plume trade.
According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, there are only 1,500 to 2,000 nesting pairs of reddish egrets in the United States — and most of these are in Texas. They are classified as "Threatened" in Texas and receive special protection.
Egrets are herons which have white or buff plumage and develop fine plumes (usually milky white) during the breeding season. Egrets are not a biologically distinct group from the herons and have the same build.

This C-118 receives attention at Rhein-Main Air Base, Frankfurt, West Germany. Three C-47s, one with engines running, are also parked close by.
51-3823 was later based at Wiesbaden with C Flight of the 7405th Support Squadron and for a number of months in 1965 wore the false tail number 13842. It has been speculated that this was for certain CIA support operations.

Oconaluftee River
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
North Carolina
This is the Oconaluftee River that flows next to HWY 441 on the North Carolina side of the park. This is just a short distance past the Oconaluftee Visitor Center if you enter the park from Cherokee, NC.
The high country of the park receives 85" of annual rainfall, on an average. This feeds into over 2,100 miles of streams and rivers in the park. The moisture in the park provides a natural habitat for over 1,600 flowering plants, 100 native tree species, and over 100 native shrub species.
May no gift be too small to give,
nor too simple to receive,
which is wrapped in thoughtfulness
and tied with love.
