Che cosa vedete adesso?
Globi di rosso, giallo, porpora.
Un momento! E adesso?
Mio padre e mia madre e le mie sorelle.
Bene! E ora?
Cavalieri in armi, donne bellissime, visi delicati.
Provate questa.
Un campo di grano—una città.
Molto bene! E ora?
Una giovane donna e angeli chini su di lei.
Una lente più forte! E ora?
Molte donne dagli occhi luminosi e le labbra socchiuse.
Provate questa.
Un bicchiere su un tavolo, nient’altro.
Ah, capisco! Provate questa lente!
Solo uno spazio aperto—non vedo niente di particolare.
Bene, e ora!
Pini, un lago, un cielo d’estate.
Va meglio. E adesso?
Un libro.
Leggetemi una pagina.
Non posso. I miei occhi sono attratti oltre la pagina.
Provate questa lente.
Abissi d’aria.
Magnifico! E ora?
Luce, soltanto luce, che trasforma tutto il mondo sottostante in giocattolo.
Benissimo, faremo gli occhiali così.
(da Spoon River, Edgar Lee Masters)

Hippopotamus or Hippo
The common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius), or hippo, is a large, mostly herbivorous, semiaquatic mammal native to sub-Saharan Africa, and one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae, the other being the pygmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis or Hexaprotodon liberiensis). The name comes from the ancient Greek for "river horse" (ἱπποπόταμος). After the elephant and rhinoceros, the common hippopotamus is the third-largest type of land mammal and the heaviest extant artiodactyl. Despite their physical resemblance to pigs and other terrestrial even-toed ungulates, the closest living relatives of the Hippopotamidae are cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises, etc.) from which they diverged about 55 million years ago.
Common hippos are recognisable by their barrel-shaped torsos, wide-opening mouths revealing large canine tusks, nearly hairless bodies, columnar legs and large size; adults average 1,500 kg (3,310 lb) and 1,300 kg (2,870 lb) for males and females respectively. Despite its stocky shape and short legs, it is capable of running 30 km/h (19 mph) over short distances.

Hipopótamo
O hipopótamo-comum (Hippopotamus amphibius) ou hipopótamo-do-nilo é um mamífero herbívoro de grande porte da África subsariana e uma das duas únicas espécies não extintas da família Hippopotamidae, sendo a outra o hipopótamo-pigmeu (Choeropsis liberiensis ou Hexaprotodon liberiensis). O seu nome provém do grego antigo, significando "cavalo do rio" (ἱπποπόταμος). Apesar das suas semelhanças físicas com os porcos e outros ungulados artiodátilos (sendo por isso designado de animal porcino[2]), os seus parentes vivos mais próximos são os cetáceos (baleias, os golfinhos, etc.) dos quais divergiram há cerca de 55 milhões de anos. O antepassado comum das baleias e dos hipopótamos demarcou-se dos outros artiodátilos há cerca de 60 milhões de anos atrás. O fóssil mais antigo conhecido de hipopótamo, pertencente ao género Kenyapotamus em África, data de cerca de 16 milhões de anos atrás. Já foi designado como cavalo-marinho e peixe-cavalo.
O hipopótamo-comum é reconhecível pelo seu torso em forma de barril, bocas com grande capacidade de abertura revelando grandes presas caninas, corpo quase glabro (sem pelos), patas em forma de coluna e pelo seu grande tamanho. As patas terminam com quatro dedos distintos com membrana interdigital. Cada dedo assenta no solo pelo seu respetivo casco.[3] Constituem o terceiro maior animal de vida terrestre no que diz respeito ao peso (entre 1½ e 3 toneladas): as únicas espécies em média mais pesadas são os rinocerontes-brancos e os rinocerontes-indianos, bem como os elefantes. Tem um comprimento, em média, de 3,5 m e uma altura de 1,5m. O hipopótamo é um dos maiores quadrúpedes e, apesar do seu aspeto entroncado e patas curtas, consegue facilmente ultrapassar um ser humano. Há registos de velocidades de 30 km/h atingidas por hipopótamos em curtas distâncias. É um animal altamente agressivo e de comportamento imprevisível, sendo considerado um dos animais africanos mais perigosos

One of my favorites of the trip to Mt. Rainier! These were clumps of grass on the bank of Reflection Lake.
I cropped it and used selective coloring to add an artistic touch.
I wish I had a canoe, because I wanted to paddle out there to touch the grass.
There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.
We are making photographs to understand what our lives mean to us.
The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.
The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.
I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them.

Further south I encountered "Big Boy" at Bremond, TX.
My full, narrated video is on YouTube - youtu.be/sOjHafqggNw
The namesake of the town, Paul Bremond, was born in New York City in 1810, the son of a French physician. He left school at age 12 to apprentice as a hat maker, a business he engaged in until 1837. An economic downturn that year called the panic of 1837 resulted in significant financial losses for Bremond. Looking for a fresh start, he moved to Galveston in 1839, where he opened an auction house. In addition, he established a business relationship with William Marsh Rice [the Rice of Rice University in Houston] and was one of the investors in the Houston and Texas Central Railroad. A common practice was to name towns along the rail line for prominent railroad officials, hence the naming of the Robertson County community for Bremond.
He also chartered the Houston, East, and West Texas Railroad to run from Shreveport, La., through the piney woods of East Texas. Construction began in 1876 and proceeded slowly, reaching Livingston in 1879, Lufkin in 1882, and Nacogdoches in 1883. Bremond did not live to see the project finished as he died in 1885, seven months before the line was completed. It was short-lived, largely because it was a narrow-gauge line. Bremond’s rationale was that the narrow gauge was cheaper to build and operate. Passengers on the H, E & WT referred to the railroad as Hell, Either Way Taken. There are Bremond streets in Houston, Lufkin, and Nacogdoches.
