Pensée du jour :
La satisfaction dans la vie ne vous saute pas dessus, vous devez travailler pour cela, vous devez la gagner. Vous ne pouvez pas vous asseoir dans un endroit, plier vos mains et vous attendre à être satisfait de la vie.
The satisfaction in the life does not jump you above, you have to work for it, you have to gain her. You cannot sit down in a place, fold your hands and expect to be satisfied by the life...
great satisfaction in the eyes of this southern carmine bee eater (merops nubicoides).
with a lenght of 33/38cm this is the biggest south african bee eater and obviously it's specialized an medium/big targets like this very big dragonfly

..as a child, life seemed valuable and worth striving for, the future promised meaning.
Nostalgia for the past now, is it an attempt to explain to yourself what was valuable? This is the satisfaction of the need for the Meaning of Existence ..just thinking out loud..

we need to be satisfied, we need satisfaction, its as simple as that - and as difficult as that ❤
it is a gift
a gift where we can say yes thank you
or we can say no thank you
It's all up to us
we really do have lots of choices in life
some more difficult than others
for me
It's not difficult
I know
what I want

Or - an accidental discovery.
There is a certain satisfaction in discovering through experience the underlying reality of something we take for granted. I mean, we all know what a mile is right - 1760 yards. Well, actually no, it wasn’t that at all, that calculation must have come later, the mile stood alone prior to that.
On my long walks with my guide dog, and later with just my white stick, to pass the time I used to count my paces - sad I know, but I can’t see the scenery, so it kept me awake. I used to count 100 paces on just one foot, on each finger and thumb, and when I had done all digits - 1000 paces, I would transfer a coin to another pocket. As time went on, on certain walks , if there was a marker nearby like a large tree, a road or whatever. - something I could pick up, I would mark the 1000 paces or sometimes 500. One day I went in the car with my wife to see how far a particular walk was and as we drove I asked the distance at the markers I had accumulated, and to my surprise, they coincided almost exactly with 1 mile, or half mile intervals! The fact is - and you can verify this, 1000 strides on one foot is one mile, it is very accurate, to within 20 or 30 paces for me. I am of average height and stride. One hand half a mile, two hands a full mile.
This must be how the distance of one mile came into being, people in times of yore, needed to know how long a journey would take and therefore a standard was set by which anyone could gauge their progress. All you needed was 10 fingers and some stones in a pocket.
As a small boy I can remember seeing very old stone roadside markers - milestones, ’40 miles to London’ or 50 miles to London’ or which ever town, they must be all gone now. Somebody - with a pocket full of stones - must have paced those markers, 100 paces x 10 fingers x 10 stones = 10 miles. He would then leave some sort of marker by the wayside, and later along comes the horse and cart with the large stone markers and drops them off at each marked point.
The measurement of a yard has nothing to do with a mile. The name tells us that, it was obviously a measurement for small pieces of land and fields a *yard*. One day somebody said I wonder how many yardsticks make one of those mile things? They had someone - probably several people walk the mile, then lay down a yard stick at the starting point and discovered you had to flip it 1759 times to reach the mile.
So a mile is not a measurement of yards and feet, it is a measurement of hands and feet, and that photograph above, of all the cow parsley lining the road was taken precisely 3500 paces (on one foot) from my front door, or exactly, three and a half miles……

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm drivin' in my car
And a man comes on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no
Oh no no no
Hey hey hey
That's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm watchin' my TV
And a man comes on and tells me
How white my shirts can be
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me
When I'm ridin' round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl
Who tells me baby better come back maybe next week
'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak
I can't get no
Oh no no no
Hey hey hey
That's what I say

The New Year is close now & I'm excited to see what it will bring. 2024 was an interesting one:trips to Fiji, a south Pacific cruise, some outback camping, welcomed a new grandson, had a minor TIA , rowed in excess of 1,500kms on indoor rower, bootcamp workouts every second day, (probably why
I tore my rotator cuff), started karate (65 isn't too old to start hey?), numerous trips to the coast's beaches & even had a haircut ;)
Anyway here's my attempted analogy between a coastal walk and the New Year, (it's a bit of a stretch, apologies in advance ;) .......
Wandering along this rockshelf feels a lot like journeying through 2024. There’ve been slippery, mossy patches where footing wasn’t always steady—those tricky moments that kept us on our toes (and sometimes on our butts). There’ve been sharp, rocky bits, demanding resilience, and a good pair of shoes. But there’ve also been stretches of soft, golden sand, moments of ease and calm that remind you life isn’t all rough edges. And that sense of satisfaction of moving on and making ground. The rocks & vegetation are so many shapes, colours, and textures, much like the unexpected turns and delights of the past year.
Now, as I near the headland, anticipation builds. What’s waiting just around that corner? A hidden cove? A wild, windswept beach? An "influencer" taking selfies (they do seem to be everywhere), a mermaid or pirate ship? Maybe another rockshelf to navigate. That’s the thrill of it—like stepping into 2025, you don’t know exactly what’s ahead, but you can’t wait to find out. Bring it on!
Happy New Year everyone !
Many thanks for every fave and comment, I appreciate them all!
Although we had an unexpected delay along the way, I managed to be the first at The Wave, if for only minutes. It quickly became crowded with people, mostly hikers, who made getting a clean view of the wave impossible. Waiting didn't work as more people came as the morning wore on. No worries, I enjoyed their enjoyment of the place and did what I could. This image is of a small area near the beginning of the structure. The contrast between the background and the foreground was too much for the camera so I was forced to combine two shots at different exposures. I found the combining process challenging, giving up yesterday but tackling it to my satisfaction today. I like the sweep of the stone which looks to me like a big splash coming toward me. Lots of good memories!
Almost done, you can see the tail a bit yet, but there is no "You should see the one that got away" story to this montage. It was an interesting and compelling view of nature!
satisfaction is just when you pass at the right place at the right time and you have thought to take your camera.

Discovering this wonderful flower in alpine grasslands over 2000 metres a.s.l. is always a satisfaction. If the background is the impressive Sas del Valfreida (3002 m asl) the atmosphere is really magic.
My dog very satisfied after drinking virgin water of a little hill we climbed at July on our holidays. It was a hot day so we decided to climb the hill to get a bit of that delicious and refreshing water. It was very tasty!

Mi perro muy satisfecho después de beber agua virgen de una colina que subimos en julio durante nuestras vacaciones. Era un día caluroso así que decidimos subir la colina para coger un poco de esa deliciosa y refrescante agua. Estaba buenísima!
Mystery surrounds me, and I wonder where I'm going
There's a cloud above me and it seems to hide the way
I'm going straight ahead, 'cause it's the only way I know
I want to leave the past, and leave just for today
Now then tell me baby, do you need my love?
Tell me baby, are you thinking of me?
Tell me baby, what it is you need?
What kind of satisfaction guaranteed?

There is little doubt that those who get the most from life are those who look for the wonder in even the smallest of things ..... cultivate this skill and you will find peace and satisfaction as well.
~ The Little book of calm - Paul Wilson
Surely one bird that I was super excited when I saw the result. its not that I have not seen in the past or made images in the past but its the satisfaction of a frame that I felt is worthy to have !!!
Velvet Fronted Nuthatch (Sitta frontalis)
However cheerless the season and little birds and
The noble heart must not be sad,
But ready to suffer for Love’s sake.
It must know and experience all:
Sweetness and cruelty,
Joy and pain,
All that belongs to the service of Love.
The proud souls who have advanced so far
That they can bear loving without satisfaction,
Must be in everything
Both strong and courageous,
Ever ready to accept
The consolation or affliction
That Love deals out to them.
The ways of Love are strange,
As those who have followed them well know,
For, unexpectedly,
She withdraws Her consolation.
He whom Love touches.
Can enjoy no stability
And he will taste
Many a nameless hour.
Sometimes burning and sometimes cold,
Sometimes timid and sometimes bold,
The whims of Love are manifold.
She reminds us all
Of our great debt
To Her lofty power
Which draws us to Herself alone.
Sometimes gracious and sometimes cruel,
Sometimes far and sometimes near.
He who grasps
Her in faithful love
Reaches jubilation.
Oh, how Love With one sole act
Both strikes and embraces!
Sometimes humble, sometimes haughty,
Sometimes hidden and sometimes revealed;
To be finally overwhelmed by Love,
Great adventures must be risked.
Before one can reach
The place where is tasted
The nature of Love.
Sometimes light, sometimes heavy,
Sometimes somber and sometimes bright,
In freeing consolation, in stifling anguish,
In taking and in giving,
Thus live the spirits
Who wander here below,
Along the paths of Love.
