In the middle of the night,
I'm lying in our bed.
Thinking of you and me in the universe.
Stars are moving like the night we met,
The earth is turning like the time we said.
In my mind I'm searching for you, billion miles away.
Why do I miss you so if you're just a spec of dust,
Floating endlessly amongst the billion stars?
Knowing that one day we may float apart,
Meeting each other in memories.
Why do I love you so if you're just a spec of dust,
Floating endlessly amongst the trillion stars?
Knowing that one day we may float apart,
Meeting each other in universe
Together again,not to be apart.
Spruce, fir, and aspen on Escudillo Mountain in Arizona. I took this a few years ago, but the date from the camera is wrong. I'm sure this was the middle of October, not August, or all the leaves would be green.
always keep a speck
of hope tucked away
in your heart so that
in the most discouraging
times,
you have something
to rekindle the fire with.
Saxifraga rotundifolia (Saxifragaceae) 165 23
Saxifraga rotundifolia, common name round-leaved saxifrage, is a flowering herb and alpine plant of the genus Saxifraga.
It can reach a height of 20–50 centimeters. This perennial herbaceous plant has fleshy leaves arranged in dense basal rosette. They are petiolate, dark green, hairy, simple, rounded or almost heart-shaped, bordered by numerous triangular notches. The flowering stems are erect, pubescent, branched at the top, bearing narrow panicles of star-shaped flowers. These flowers have five lanceolate petals, usually white with numerous minute pink-purple specks. They bloom from April to August.
This species is present in the central and southern Europe in the Iberian Peninsula, the Alps and the Balkans and prefers shady forests, damps, cliffs, stony soils and margins of streams at elevation of 700–2,200 meters above sea level.
Hier im Örtchen Speck (1274 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt) im Müritz-Nationalpark ist für Autos Schluss - es geht nur noch per Rad oder auf Schusters Rappen weiter. Nächste Etappe der Entschleunigung...
Den Eichenholzaltar der Backsteinkirche mit dem zierlichen Türmchen ziert eine gusseiserne Christus-Figur, die kurioserweise von zwei Jungs aus der Müritz gefischt wurde.
Der runde Turm gehört zu "Schloss Speck", einem großen Gutshaus (erbaut 1470), das nach dem 2. Weltkrieg als sowjetische Kommandatur diente, später als Erholungsheim der NVA. Von 1991 bis 1998 war dort das Nationalparkamt Mecklenburg-Vorpommern untergebracht. Heute befindet es sich in Privateigentum.
Unweit der Kirche steht eine gigantische, 800 Jahre alte Sommerlinde, in deren Schatten es sich einst schön rasten ließ. Nun ist der Bereich um den Baum aber zum Glück abgesperrt und wird so vor weiterer Verdichtung geschützt. Schön anzuschauen ist die Linde immer noch..

Saturday Self Challenge: Specks
Ripening bananas provided the specks for this week's challenge. Giv then another day or two and that's how I like them.

There is nothing like the vastness of the alpine landscape to make one feel small and insignificant. The awe and wonder experienced as one of the tiny human specks in those wide, expansive spaces is something that I hope, for me, will never fade.
