This amazing tree grows on the rim of the Grand Canyon. One branch, pointing toward the right, still lives. The other branches are dead.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!

Genovesa Island, its sandy coral beach with a great viewpoint of the bay, is one of the Galapagos’ jewels. It is also known as the “Bird Island“ offering the opportunity to enjoy the most representative birds of Galapagos as: Puffball–chicks, white both yellow–crowned and lava herons, Red footed boobies contrasting with the Nazca booby and also the Swallow–tailed gulls, the only nocturnal gulls in the world that will be nesting at the cliff’s edge.
My tribute to Chester........(also from old account)
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do

What are your associations when you hear the term "class struggle"? It is probably an educated guess that a lot of history will pop up, including that of the socialist and trade union movements and even that of Marxism and Communism. Can I invite you to widen the perspective and, as I would see it, to look at what goes really on in a lot of western societies, particularly that of the UK? What is happening here can indeed be described as class struggle, but it is not that coming from below. It is class struggle from above. It is the people of wealth who are using the political and legal systems of the modern state in order to gratify themselves and exclude the large majority from the benefits of their own work. Profits are invested wherever the most lucrative gains can be made, and this means that capital is being exported, not re-invested at home. Tax avoidance is another characteristic of class struggle from above, I probably don't need to go into details. You must also have noticed that over the last three decades work has become cheap. A generation ago, one earner (usually the husband) was able to sustain the life of a family, today, you would need two earners to do the same. And the jobs they would be having would be insecure too. In the UK, as in France as well, there is opposition to this process of continuously eroding the people's access to life's opportunities. In Britain, people are on strike for a very good reason.

I am pretty sure that winter is over here. It has been a wee bit cold still here but getting better all the time.
Happy Saturday
Struggled with this a bit but finally pulled off a fairly decent shot of the super- moon Monday Nov 14th PM.
A kind farmer allowed us onto her land to get the shot.
The weather has changed and suddenly a soggy Autumn is with us. The temperatures have dropped and the evenings have drawn in surprisingly quickly. This yesterday with the sun just struggling to show its face through dense clouds.

I took a fair few images of seed heads today but nothing really struck me. I have a certain look in mind but I just can't pull it off …. yet!
So this is a kinda 'make do' shot for now :)
When the mystery we call God looks within us and through us, God sees only Himself (how ego-deflating). Yet when we look within ourselves we see someone seeking enlightenment despite the fact that the God we think we seek is already looking out of our eyes; has known us since before we were born (Jer 1:5). What enlightenment does without our asking it to, like the rose that blooms without a why, is engender, sustain, and invite us into a long process of integration of all our issues, faults and failings into our essential, enlightened being. The fruit of this integration is not the sanitization of our faults and transgressions but manifestations of Divine Light through what we may judge to be inappropriate given how long we have practiced and how many retreats we have been on.
