It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.

"Solo se riusciremo a guardare l'universo come un tutt'uno in cui ogni parte riflette la totalità e in cui la grande bellezza sta nella diversità cominceremo a capire chi siamo e dove stiamo."
Tiziano Terzani
Stawell's two tallest buildings, the town hall and the local Uniting church were the only parts of the town above the fog on this chilly mid winter morning. Taken from the Big Hill lookout that lies just to the northeast of the main town, this view is looking south and west toward the Grampians Ranges which are just visible on the horizon. The single clear line across the top is the main Adelaide to Melbourne highway and I am guessing that the steady stream of trucks and cars would be keeping it a little clearer. Also, the road itself is just a little bit higher than the surroundings.
The time on the town hall clock was ten minutes to eight (just in case you are trying to zoom in on it!)

It was cold and snowing slightly when I found this buck today. He was standing outside a church looking in the window as if to say, "Invite me in and I'll be your friend." ... I would have if I could have!

Seek the light is a title from the Waterboys! I was walking across the beach and noticed this small cave in the cliff face was flooded with late evening sun, so guessed it would be a good vantage point!
Spin me round again and rub my eyes.
This can't be happening.

would stop to hold their heads heavy...

Light gives of itself freely, filling all available space. It does not seek anything in return; it asks not whether you are friend or foe. It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished. ~Michael Strassfeld

le Rougegorge familier est peu farouche et son plumage attractif l'ont rendu populaire chez des générations de jardiniers; en réalité le rouge-gorge fait partie d'une espèce d'oiseau très agressive, et certains mâles se battent parfois à mort pour défendre leur territoire. Présent dans presque chaque jardin, c'est l'un des oiseaux les moins sauvages, cherchant sa nourriture à proximité des humains en train de jardiner. Il ira jusqu'à venir se nourrir de proies vivantes, comme des vers de terre ou des vers de farine, présentés à la main. Si l'hiver est rude, il deviendra encore plus familier, car le manque de nourriture provoqué par la neige et la glace le rend très vulnérable.
Le rouge-gorge défend un territoire à longueur d'année, sauf durant la mue et si l'hiver est très froid. En hiver, les femelles occupent et défendent aussi un territoire. Celui-ci leur est nécessaire non seulement pour nicher, mais aussi pour garantir une source suffisante de nourriture. Un rouge-gorge sans territoire meurt au bout de quelques semaines. C'est pourquoi cet espace est défendu avec une telle énergie. En général, il suffit que le propriétaire exhibe son plastron rouge pour que l'intrus recule, mais il peut arriver que la lutte s'engage et les combats s'achèvent parfois par la mort de l'un des adversaires.
À l'opposé de nombreux autres oiseaux, le rouge-gorge vit en solitaire pendant l'automne et l'hiver mâle et femelle restant sur leur territoire hivernal respectif avec comme résultat qu'ils continuent à chanter même en hiver.
Le rouge-gorge semble bien voir dans l'obscurité, car il est encore actif le soir quand il n'y a plus de lumière.

the familiar Robin is not very shy and its attractive plumage has made it popular with generations of gardeners; in fact the robin is part of a very aggressive bird species, and some males sometimes fight to death to defend their territory. Present in almost every garden, it is one of the least wild birds, seeking its food near the humans in the process of gardening. It will go as far as feeding on live prey, such as earthworms or mealworms, presented by hand. If the winter is rough, it will become even more familiar, as the lack of food caused by snow and ice makes it very vulnerable.
The robin defends a territory all year long, except during the moult and if the winter is very cold. In winter, females also occupy and defend a territory. It is necessary for them not only to nest, but also to guarantee a sufficient source of food. A robin without territory dies after a few weeks. That's why this space is defended with such energy. In general, it is enough for the owner to show his red shirt so that the intruder recoils, but it can happen that the struggle begins and the fighting sometimes ends with the death of one of the opponents.
In contrast to many other birds, the robin lives alone during the fall and winter male and female remaining in their respective winter territories with the result that they continue to sing even in winter.
The robin seems to see well in the dark because it is still active at night when there is no light.

Yuki and I play hide n seek. Of course I have to be the one to hide every time but Yuki loves searching all over the field until she finds me. I wait until she's distracted and then I jump in the tall grass and give a quick whistle. She knows what to do and the search begins. A treat is always waiting when she finds me.
These little guys are all over the boardwalk, they stay away from the humans for the most part. This one in particular was playing a little hide and seek, but I keep waiting for him to try to sell me insurance.
A little more processing involved here, I had the idea of the blue leading up to the oranges and yellow to give the impression that those seagulls were seeking the warmth of the sun!
Probably not the best color setting to play hide and seek.

what a blessing to have so many great artists at my fingertips! i have been very unsettled of late and luckily a bunch of flickr buddies posted water pics today. so i am throwing this one in for solidarity. the sight and sounds of water comfort me. how about you?
This is an emotional image for me any time I see it but right now with all that is going on I find myself more emotional than ever. This beautiful Canada goose frantically flew over me several times going back and forth. It appears to have lost it's mate. It was squawking in a frantic manner until it flew out of my sight then I would hear it coming back over me doing the same thing time and time again. Geese possess a veritably human capacity for grief. Their feelings and emotions are far less different from us than you assume. Quite literally, humans, a dog, and a goose hang their heads, lose their appetites, and become indifferent to all stimuli emanating from the environment. For grief-striken human beings, as well as for geese, one effect is that they become outstandingly vulnerable to accidents; they tend to fly into high-tension cables or fall prey to predators because of their reduced alertness.
There have been reports of pair bonds that are so strong that if one goose is shot down by a hunter, the partner will circle back. Drawn by its need to stay with its lifelong companion, the single goose will often ignore the sound of shooting and return to die with its mate.
In The Pig Who Sang To The Moon, Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson writes about a goose who had a broken wing. During the fall migration, as other geese flew south, her gander accompanied her by air and by foot. She was going to walk south since she was unable to fly. He would not leave her, so after flying for a few hundred yards, he would stop and wait for her to catch up. He would call to her with his wildest, most piercing cry, urging her to spread her wings and fly with him to their distant home. He accompanied her until she was killed by carrion eagles and he had to continue his journey alone.
Widowed geese have been observed circling around and around, crying in heartrending sorrowful tones when their partners die or are shot by hunters. The remaining goose may mourn for a period of time and then mate again. Or they may mourn for the rest of their lives and never seek another mate. Just as with people, it varies with individual geese.....Choo Choo Rosenbloom
So I stood in the field with this knowledge and wept as she or he kept flying over me and frantically calling for their mate. It's an incredibly sad thing to witness.
Everyone please be safe. Thinking of you all.

Leaving Anchorage and heading South down the Seward Highway you see the lovely mountains across Turnagain Arm. Here I captured the interesting clouds and mountains that still have a lot of snow across the waters. The low clouds would sometimes obscure the view so it made me think the mountains were playing hide and seek with me.
