Catching the light as I walked into Hillock Wood, this wonderful beech displays its new foliage for all to see.

Black-tailed Deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) Doe
Emigrant Lake – Jackson County – Oregon - USA
The black-tailed deer is one of nine subspecies of the mule deer. It was first recorded by the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-06.
Black-tailed deer live in the temperate coniferous forests along the Pacific coast. These forests are characterized by cool temperatures and lots of rain, but an overall mild climate. Black-tailed deer do not therefore migrate in response to seasonal changes, unlike some of the other mule deer subspecies. Instead, black-tailed deer often spend their entire life in the same general area.
Jongmyo Shrine was built by Lee Seong Gye or King Taejo (1335-1408), the first king and founding father of the Joseon Dynasty. It was a primary place of worship for kings throughout the Joseon Dynasty and has been registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site.
The royal shrine houses the tablets of the Joseon Kynasty kings and queens, and is the venue of yearly ritual ceremonies, now held annually the first Sunday of May.
Japanese invaders burt down original structues in 1592, but rebuilt in 1608.
I wondered why the ponds here never had any fish an lacked the lush floral displays found at nearby palaces. Apparently in deference to departed souls, such amenities were not originally introduced. However, as seen here, there are a few modern exception to ancient sensitivities.
In the background is "Mangmyoru", used as an office and sometime meditation spot for the deceased. The name means: the king thinks about the achievement of previous kings, and the policies which would benefit his people...".
The place has undergone changes over the past decade. Once, people filled the area on a fine Spring day. Now, one has to take a guided tour. At the end of the excursion, we tried to sit where senior citizens once lingered. A tender came over and told us we were not allowed to sit in the benches beside the pond, not more than 20 meters from this picture. The pendulum of human foibles swings - from exclusive royal haunt, to plebian respite, back towards a more restful venue for the departed.

Caveat: pictures are kind of lame, not to Flikr standards:) However, the historical content is good.

With winter's footprints in the past,
and snows begin to melt at last,
with longer days and shorter nights,
the wayward winds of March take flight,
four winds she holds within her grip,
then hurls them from her fingertip,
her wooly, fleecy clouds of white,
she sets in skies of blue delight,
her wild bouts of gusty breeze,
roars through valleys, hills and trees,
that high pitch whistling song she sings,
awakens earth and flowering things,
she tears a hole in heavens sky,
so sun can shine and rain can cry,
she gently calms as spring draws near,
as blooming daffodils appear,
she welcomes April showers in,
then gathers up her dwindling winds,
now her long journey home begins,
knowing she'll be back this way,
upon a cold late winter's day,
when nights grow short,
and days grow long,
Listen for her whistling song!
Poem "Song of March" by Patricia L. Cisco
