#”Looking Close on Friday”

#”Small animals with wings”

Seems like a good place to hang out but in Newfoundland wind it didn't stay here long and I ended up chasing that red leaf until I lost it.

Un fer de proue utile

A l’avant, la gondole porte un « fero di prova », un fer de proue qui s’élève en panache. Ce fer assez épais a une utilité précise. Son poids sert à contrebalancer le poids du rameur à l’arrière de l’embarcation.

La symbolique du fer de proue

Il existe toute une symbolique quant à la forme étrange de ce fer de proue que nous détaillons dans l’illustration ci-dessous.

Nous devons préciser que si c’est là l’interprétation communément admise, elle ne nous convainc pas entièrement.

Par exemple, concernant les 3 îles de Murano, Burano et Torcello. En effet, pourquoi celles-là ? Pourquoi pas le Lido di Venezia ? Pourquoi pas Sant’ Erasmo, le potager de Venise ?

 

Le fer est souvent l’orgueil du gondolier et parfois décoré ou poinçonné par son illustre fabricant.

Wish you a wonderful day

after sunset we found 3 lionesses that had been feasting on a blue wildebeest they had killed earlier that day .

They were resting near a waterhole and this large lioness was lying down on a mound

One from this day last year. I have only seen two this season and both of those were flying past very quickly

Most of the things we need to be most fully alive never come in busyness. They grow in rest.

Posted for Fence Friday.

A Buck rests after a furious morning of rutting with nearby competitors.

It's nice when the butterflies rest in a location where you can actually see them. This lovely Polydamas picked a nice sunny spot to hang out for a few minutes. When I noticed him, I was able to go in the house, grab the camera and return for a couple of shots before he flew back into action.

 

Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.

 

Fresh Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly on momentary shutdown.

 

Common from late spring through early fall.

Everything is silent and silence accompanies the rest of the boats rocked by the sea.

an earthy intermingling of spirit lives, past and present, under the vast expanse of a wholly unreachable sky ...

A classic car resting beside the water, with tall reeds and a distant building peeking through the trees. A simple summer scene that made me stop for a moment

This song sparrow is resting in a redosier dogwood shrub. These wonderful bushes grow naturally in the wet barrens here at Chipera Prairie, but do just as well when planted in the front lawn for decorative purposes.

The Frisian inscription on the cross says,

 

"Uun jesus as rau as an frees"

 

In English, this means, „In Jesus there is rest and peace.“

 

I am not religious in any way, but religious symbols often are a hell of a subject. 😈

These creatures are absolutely majestic. Those antlers jutting up like a wooden crown, the whole way they hold themselves... It's almost regal. You can tell, as he lays there, he knows he's in charge. I walked from nearly where that car in the background is to this new spot finding better framing opportunities, I wanted to actually capture this elk properly this time.

 

This is a second image of the one earlier, sans the distracting car in the background.
