This is a typical old farmhouse of the "Gaume". The walls are painted with oxblood and whitewashed. The roof is covered with roman tiles.

I am not a stranger to the dark
Hide away, they say
'Cause we don't want your broken parts
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Run away, they say
No one'll love you as you are
But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades and
Reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that's what we've become (yeah, that's what we've become)
I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
This is me
and I know that I deserve your love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) 'cause there's nothing I'm not worthy of
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
This is brave, this is proof
This is who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come (look out 'cause here I come)
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching, marching on)
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I'm gonna send a flood
Gonna drown them out
Oh
This is me

Now, this is from Roozengaarde Tulip Display in Skagit Valley, Washington state. How do I know? Because this is what Roozengaarde's gardens look like!
This is taken from my archives, once again. This was taken in 2017. From the looks of the tulips (they're so vibrant), we must've timed it just right! I hope you all enjoy!

this is just one of a bazillion beautiful scenes to behold at The Flower of Scotland. Read about it here on The SLuggle.
the title of the picture I thought should come from Scotland's Robert Burns, and it's from a lovely love poem called Composed in August which you can find here.
And this was our second last evening in Iceland and we already started feeling intense sadness for having to depart soon. more so after spending the evening at such a splendid spot: Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall, where we camped nearby at night to enjoy this place to the maximum.
If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."
We haven't changed that much in 300,000 years of evolution.

This pileated woodpecker worked so hard to grab a piece of the bird suet cake, I guess persistence paid off.
This is one of those pictures that one must look at twice to understand the title. When you are on safaris, you have to train your eyes to see everything around you. There are four eyes staring at you. Do you see them? Taken in the early morning warm sunlight on my last day in Chobe Park.
In memory of all of those animals who have been killed to become trophies for the rich idiot hunters of the world.

This will be my last posting. I will be away for most of the summer but I will continue to fave and make comments whenever I can. I wish everyone a safe and happy summer!:-)
I think we have to believe in things we don't see. That's really important for all of us, whether it's your religion or Santa Claus, or whatever. That's pretty much what it's about. James Caan
Going north tomorrow. Sold the house, sold the car.
Lighting a last candle. Lying awake through the long night.
That was yesterday, I'm on my way now. Lookinh back all the way.. Always doing the wrong thing. Always kept going forward, though. Northward this time.
Yes, I burned your letters.

This was a more experimental version of the "Colors of 2 degree" photographs. The bright orange (yellow-red range) color penetrating through the mist becomes the light of the trees - which has fascinated me. The challenging part is the purple fringing - which was so strong that it was extremely difficult to remove completely, and I kept such imperfectness in this image in order to keep an acceptable shape of the front object. Your comments and feedback are welcome!

Sunrise this morning .
My prayer for you today is that God's blessings and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
I`m standing at an altitude of more than one kilometer, the journey up the slope of the fell was long and sweaty, but I have enjoyed every step, almost. The fell's name is Saana and it`s said to be the most beautiful fell in Finland. The scenery from up here is amazing too, lakes and snow-capped fells. The wind is also strong, I have put on all the clothes in my backpack, a wool hat and gloves, a warm jacket. I have my hair braided and the strong wind is blowing them around my head, I must look funny lol. I sit sheltering from the wind next to a big stone and open the thermos bottle, the wonderful scent of coffee fills the air... Here is everything I need at this moment.
Saana, Kilpisjärvi, Lapland, the far North in Finland.

"Welcome
To the untold
Take a deep breathe
Take the higher road
It's what they always say
As if they know the way
They won't take it from me
But don't ever doubt yourself
'cause life ain't just a dream
You make your own
So kick and scream
The people will act
With a neverending force
You never had the chance
So whatcha' waitin' for?
The day has come my friend
'cause this is war
It's time and this is war
It's time and this is war
War..."
This is a picture from April 2020, i.e. the first lockdown. I took this with the phone and I wasn't pleased with the quality of the shot. I thought I'd go back one day with the camera and take it again. In 2021 they had put an extra fence around it and goats were making the area in front of the tree very untidy. In 2022, somehow, I missed the blooming altogether. This year a car was parked right next to the tree and then it rained until the blossoms were gone. I will try again if I get a chance but I thought I would like to post this, if only for the emptiness of it.
