Since then, I have this song and this picture in my thoughts.
Mais à Toi, depuis longtemps auparavant.
Je t'aime fort Mon Bébé d'Amour ♡
♫ Miles and Miles away
Isn't so far
When we look up in the night
and see the same same stars
So I'll lay my head to sleep
And meet you in my heart
And we'll close our eyes and dream
Of the same same stars ♫

Same evening I shot several images of the sun setting over the Nevern Estuary in Pembrokeshire, I turned away from the direct sun to capture the glow on the strikingly blue boat.
A Yadan is a type of structure or landscape formed by yardang-type geological formations. Although they mean the same thing, Yadan is more of a regional term in China used for parks or geological regions with yardang formations. It is a transliteration into Mandarin Chinese of the word "yar," which comes from the Uyghur language spoken in Xinjiang in northwest China. Yardang is a global scientific term used by geologists in geomorphology to refer to this type of geological formation. It was coined or popularized by a Swedish geologist and explorer named Sven Anders Hedin in 1903, who traveled and studied the entire Xinjiang region. On these journeys, he also mapped vast areas, including regions such as Tibet, the Tulin of Zanda, and a large part of the unknown and mysterious Pamir Mountains, both in China and Tajikistan. He explored much of the deserts in this region of Xinjiang and notably mapped the yardangs of the Lop Nor Desert and the Hami Desert. He also explored the Gobi Desert and Mongolia. He was possibly the greatest expert on yardangs and all of Northwest China and Central Asia. Xinjiang is the region with the largest and most extensive concentration of yardangs in the world. Near the city of Hami in eastern Xinjiang, and southwest of Hami, lies Hami Dahaidao. The Hami Desert is part of the Gobi Desert and is home to vast fields of yardangs sculpted by the erosion of the strong winds that prevail in this desert depression, creating reddish formations and ridges aligned with the wind direction. Hami Dahaidao is known as the "City of Demons," partly because there are some yardangs with strange and ghostly shapes, figures that create an eerie atmosphere at night, but mostly because of the strange noises that can be heard in Hami Dahaidao. The strong desert winds whip up the sand, the strong winds make the stones roll noisily across the ground... the air rushing between rocks and open, eroded crevices, the wind passing over or along the sides of the aligned ridges of the yardang... all these phenomena create sounds that sometimes become terrifying and ghostly, or even the howls of strange creatures. Although the term yardang was suggested by Sven Hedin while mapping the Lop Nor Desert, it is in the Hami Desert where the most "wild" and interesting yardang for study are found, according to geologists.

The "Snarks" sprang from the imaginative mind of Lewis Carroll, the author of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." In 1874, he wrote the epic poem "The Hunting of the Snarks," a surreal work like most of Carroll's literary output. The book narrates the impossible and "surreal" journey of a disparate crew of ten "surreal" individuals from different professions. They embark on a search for a strange creature or being, difficult to define... the Snark. And to do so, they use an even more "surreal" map... a completely blank map. "The Hunting of the Snarks" is considered one of the masterpieces of the "nonsense" genre. Although Carroll claimed the work had no specific meaning, numerous theories have been proposed about his poem. For example, it's an allegory for happiness, since it can be seen as the unattainable pursuit of bliss, something that will never be found. Others suggest it's based on Carroll's existential anxieties surrounding the fear of disappearing or inner emptiness. Still others consider it a social satire, a mockery of the legal judgments of the time and, above all, the debates between science and religion. If you're interested, you can find the book on the Internet Archive website.

The jazz singer Bajka composed a song titled "The Bellman's Speech." If you'd rather not read this interesting book, you can listen to her song, which includes a summary of Carroll's book and a description of a Snark, allowing you to recognize and find this strange creature. There was no luck searching for a Squonk in Zanda. Nor was there any luck searching for a Snark in Hami Dahaidao... We'll have to keep looking elsewhere. Perhaps it's more surreal but easier to search for Rachel Welsh's "The Body" among the mists of the sheets in my dreams.
Vengan, escuchen, mientras les repito las cinco marcas inconfundibles por las cuales podrán reconocer, dondequiera que vayan, a los auténticos Snarks. El primero es el sabor, que es magro y hueco, pero fresco, como un abrigo demasiado ajustado en la cintura con sabor a fuego fatuo. Estarás de acuerdo en que su hábito de levantarse tarde, llega demasiado lejos, cuando digo, que frecuentemente desayuna a la hora del té de las cinco, y cena al día siguiente. El tercero es su lentitud para tomarse una broma, si por casualidad te atreves a hacerla. Suspirará como alguien profundamente afligido y siempre se mostrará serio ante un juego de palabras. La cuarta es su afición por las máquinas de baño que lleva consigo constantemente y cree que realzan la belleza de los paisajes... un sentimiento abierto a la duda. La quinta es la ambición. Será justo describir cada grupo en particular, distinguiendo a los que tienen plumas y muerden, de los que tienen bigotes y arañan. porque, aunque los Snarks comunes no hacen daño, sin embargo, considero mi deber decir que algunos son Boojums. Hemos navegado muchas semanas, hemos navegado muchos días. Siete días a la semana, supongo, pero a un verdadero Snark, a quién podríamos contemplar con amor, nunca lo hemos visto hasta ahora.

long black train
josh turner
There's a long black train
Coming down the line
Feeding off the souls that are lost and crying
Rails of sin only evil remains
Watch out brother for that long black train
Look to the heavens
You can look to the skies
You can find redemption
Staring back into your eyes
There is protection and there's peace the same
Burnin' your ticket for that long black train
'Cause there's victory in the Lord I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train
There's an engineer on that long black train
Making you wonder if your ride is worth the pain
He's just a waitin' on your heart to say
Let me ride on that long black train
But you know there's victory in the Lord I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train
Well I can hear the whistle from a mile away
It sounds so good
But I must stay away
That train is a beauty making everybody stare
But its only destination is the middle of nowhere
But you know there's victory in the Lord I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train
I said cling to the father and his holy name and don't go ridin' on that black train
Yes watch out brother for that long black train
That devil's a drivin' that long black train

My husband shot this patient—or scared-witless—Pacific tree frog using his Nikkor 200mm macro lens and his old Nikon D4.
Same position but different angle than mine—in first comment.
There's room in the world for many different styles and apertures, and Howard and I are at either end of the spectrum. He's an IT Doc and physics guy, and has little close-sighted vision. We make a perfect pair, united in admiration of this tiny frog. Howard took this at 13:58. I took mine at 11:40. Both in shade of back deck.
The same tree in Hasliberg as in other photos before but this time I included the road. I took this shot while it was snowing and almost hailing. If you zoom in to the hut or the tree you can see the streaks of snow.
same bear as posted yesterday. He is young here and I'd imagine by now he is huge. This was taken in 2013 and if he's grown into his legs and paws, he is a boar to reckon with.
Here he is just across the river from me and I had a 500mm lens with a 1.4x on it. no crop or anything. Taken at 10:15 PM
Maybe only a coincidence, but every time I got to this hotel I saw a Palm Tanager (Tangara Palmarum) / Sanhaço do coqueiro, eating papaya.
It is from the same species of the banana eater :))
This bird is also known as Sanhaço Verde or Pipira Verde. It is aggressive towards individuals of the same or other species.
It measures between 17 and 18 centimeters in length and weighs 27-48 g.
The dominant greenish color is sufficient to determine it, when the light conditions allow it. Also noteworthy is its link with palm trees.
It hunts insects in the middle of the leaves, sometimes staying upside down in this search, but also catches insects in flight, especially termites and winged ants. In addition to insects, it complements the diet with nectar and fruits, especially from Embaúba.
Get used to orchards and well-wooded urban environments. It can be seen in gardens, where it goes in the bird feeders to feed on fruits, also in parks in the country's major urban centers.

Taken the same day as the Cherry blossom was spotted as I sat feeling unwell gazing out of my living room window. One short walk from my own front door along a roadside verge yielded up so many opportunities It felt exiting and unbelievable. It really was nothing but a bit of scrubland along the road yet these tiny flowers made it through what was more of a dog toilet tbh...Taken using a Sony A7R2 with a CZ Pancolar vintage lens wide open. The plane of view was extremely sharp but out of the wind I managed sharp focus where I desired it to keep this tiny gift under wraps and keep these forget me nots looking as precious as it felt that day to me...I feel a little better and took two short walks this week.
Thank you for your patience as I continue to catch up with comments :)
At the same place than the cormorant the Heron too got a catfish. Sorry for the IQ but I did it after sunset and so without any light, so their is some movement blur because to limit the ISO I used a slow shutter speed. Then in post processing I have had to brighten the héron and the water.
A la meme place que le cormoran, le héron a attrapé lui aussi un poisson chat. Désolé pour la qualité d'image, mais je l'ai prise après le coucher du soleil, donc sans lumière, donc il y a du flou de mouvement car pour limiter les ISO j'ai utilisé un temps de pose long. Ensuite en post procesing j'ai du ajouter de la lumière pour faire ressortir le héron et l'eau.

...as last holidays. Every time since the little pier of Hvidbjerg Strand has been constructed I have to creep under the building to take a shot. It has become almost an obsession. Needless to say that this exercise is more convenient in Summer and times of low tide. Blavand, Jylland, Denmark
The succulent Kalanchoe species, popularly known as flower-of-fortune (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana), is super easy to care for. This is because it is resistant to climatic variations, does not need constant irrigation and has excellent adaptation to indoor and outdoor environments. In addition, in the same species there are variations such as the cat's ear (Kalanchoe tomentosa), the mother of thousands (Kalanchoe laetivirens), among others.
When the flowers are simple they are called Kalanchoe.
And when the flowers are folded (multiple petals) Calandivas.
Same rose, different look!
I added a light vignette which I thought suited it very well.
I have a very similar rose growing in my garden, which seems to given up flowering now so this one is from a bouquet ....

Skippers Road has some rather hairy parts including this area where there is a shear drop down to the Shotover river. An impressive view that was asking for a panorama. This is ~>180 degrees so yes that is the same road on both sides.
Photoshop is exceptional at merging photos, these were taken hand held so pretty impressed to get this. I did fill in some of the gaps around the edges.
Thanks to Rich and Shaz for taking us on the mad mission.
