"Speak to me of lovely things, of treasures yet to be found, of peace that flows like a river. Tell me of tranquil places that no hand has marred, no storm has scarred. Give me visions of standing in the sunlight, or feeling the mist against my check as I move and live and breathe. Show me paths that wind through wild lilies and beds of yellow primroses. Sing me songs of the spheres, the mingled voices of wrens and meadowlarks, the lowing of gentle cows, the soft motherly chuckle of the mare talking to her colt.

Lead me past the glass-smooth pond where frogs croak of their coming-out party, their graduation from frisky tadpoles to squat green frogs that wait patiently for the flying insect. Find me a place in the sun to sit and think and listen to the sweet inner voice that says so quietly, 'Peace. Be still'."

[Joyce Sequichie Hifler]

Furillen in Spring

This song sparrow was busy investigating the side of the trail, and didn't really care that I had squatted near for images.

If you squat before the fall, it doesn't hurt so bad.

Shot with the Olympus E-M1 in Bryant Park, Manhattan, New York City. The intense concentration and the posture of a baseball catcher behind home plate attracted me to this one.

All Saints' Church, Kings Langley is a Church of England parish church located in the village of Kings Langley in Hertfordshire, England. Originating in the 13th century, the church contains the tomb of Edmund of Langley (1341–1402), the first Duke of York. It is a Grade II* listed building.

The exterior of All Saints' Church is flint with dressings of Totternhoe Stone. It has red tile roofs and a squat, buttressed bell tower with battlements and a "Hertfordshire spike" or small central spire. The church is mostly in the Perpendicular style, but was heavily restored in the Victorian era. Internally, the nave has three bays with a clerestory and north and south aisles which both terminate in chapels, in line with the east end of the chancel.

Lauriea gardinere is a small squat lobster, up to 7 millimetres (0.28 in) long. It differs from the only other species in the genus, Lauriea siagiani by a number of features, but most obviously by the coloration: L. gardineri is pale brown with darker bands, while L. siagiani is orange or pink with red or purplish markings.

Mais qu'eeeeeeest-ce donc que cela ?

Non.

Quiconque a déjà fait de la photo de rue sait.

Quiconque pratique la photo de rue sait que vous autres, amis piétons, ignorez à quel point parfois vos silhouettes donnent le vertige ou figent d'incompréhension face à autant de bizarrerie.

Nous emportons nos petits mondes solitaires avec nous sans réaliser vraiment ce à quoi nous ressemblons à cause de celui-ci... :-))

On a seaside cliff in the isolated Shetland archipelago, an Atlantic puffin, returning back to land for the breeding season, finds a nice comfy bed of sea pink flowers by its burrow to squat down in and wait for its mate. Sumburgh Head, Shetland, Scotland.

had amazing grafitti, and a submarine in the garden

Squatting down near a court yard at the Botanical Gardens.

I occasionally came to this spot to check out the salt flat and the treapassers. Sadly when I came back yesterday, there was a ribbon blocking the entry to the embankment. This was probably the last photo I had taken there before people were really barred from entering the salt flat.

(Arms up in the air) I fess up! Before any hate-mailers get their typing fingers going on the ol' keyboard. This is a composite of four shots, each one focusing on a different point and then painting in the sharpness from one level to the next. Sheesh! A fellow can't get away with squat around here!

A young Filipina removes the yellow skin and peel from reddish pomelo fruit while in a squat position on a city sidewalk. Peeled pomelo fruits are more expensive because of the tedious labor required to peel them to get to the juicy, sweet citrus fruit.
