Write me what you're wearing! Is it warm?
Write me how you lie! Do you lie there softly?
Write me how you look! Is it still the same?
Write me what you're missing! Is it my arm?
Write me how you are! Have you been spared?
Write me what they're doing! Do you have enough courage?
Write me what you're doing! Is it good?
Write me, who are you thinking of? Is it me?
Freely, I've given you only my questions.
And I hear the answers, how they fall.
When you're tired, I can't carry it for you.
If you're hungry, I have nothing for you to eat.
And so now I leave the world
No longer there, as if I've forgotten you.
Bertolt Brecht
Under the bowered greenwood tree
when first I lay
bright starre with Thee
Under the velvet branches dear
when sun and moon both came so near
Under the starlit open dome
under the starsharp pointed lights
under the starloved greeny earth
when first I wanted to hold You
and all the world halfdead and halflive
spat into my mouth
bluesea bitterwater
and I am almost dead
and I have not understood
Under the rain and teeth of gods
under the pain and sleeping liddy eyes
under the brokkèd wetful heaven
If you are there
If you are there
If you are there
then I am singing with my eyes
I worry about the people who can't escape this wildfire smoke and all the animals who must be suffering too. As the sun rises today everything is a smoky burnt yellow. Cameras are having a difficult time recording accurate colors. 6:55 PM. The fog horns on the Tacoma Narrows bridge started around midday.
We close up the house and run a HEPA filter fan when this happens.
Much of this bad air is coming in from the ocean and originated in wildfires in California and Oregon.

Bantam is an estate on the Weesp-Bussum provincial road (the French Kampweg). It is located in Hilversum.
Spent a happy afternoon with my daughter Justine and granddaughter Phoebe yesterday.
The weather was great and we visited Tilgate Park. It's a lovely place with lots to see and do,[ some a bit too commercialised ]plus a couple of lakes and nature centre.
It used to be a huge private Estate with a Mansion and the Campbells ,of water speed fame, practised on the lake there.
The branches were so white ...
I often stop and admire this mature beauty on our walks.. She just looked extra spectacular against the winter blue sky.
about body parts & saving the planet.

I just loved how this fall colored Vine Maple seemed to be giving the Douglas Fir a big old hug...
blessings to all my flickr friends... I am home from Seattle, and worked 16 hours last night (with a few hours of sleep at work so it is not as bad as it sounds)... and now I am going back to researching the cameras.
Thank you, victorvonsalza www.flickr.com/photos/victorvonsalza/ for all your advice, phone call and research on lenses and cameras... your technical knowledge is greatly appreciated, I have learned so much.
Thank you, AdrianWarren www.flickr.com/photos/adrianw/ also for the information you have shared about the cameras and lenses and shooting tips... and for making me laugh sometimes!

The moment we stop and take nature in, we can hear the trees sing.

Touch a Tree. Embrace It. It will give you eyes to see new colors, It will give you ears to hear the silence.
This time it was not me to choose the location for my weekly selfie...
Location: Parking along the N381 (West) near Appelscha in Fryslân. About 40 meters in the forest from the parking.
Location Scouting by: Stewart Leiwakabessy
Coordinates: 52°56'41" N 6°19'4" E
Reason: The challenge of this week was that Stewart choose the location for this weeks selfie on our way from Amsterdam to Assen. Could have been everywhere along the A1, A6, A7 or A28 as well. But he took the exit near Drachten to drive to Assen via Appelscha and Smilde. And this was the location where I had to work with. A forest, trees and a parking along the N381.
Qui-Qua-Boo: The theme is just as simple as that.
Appelscha: Ooststellingwerf, population about 8,500
Weather: Cloudy, 3" C
Self-portrait technics: Camera on a Sirui carbon tripod with selftimer on 10 seconds.

The Mijikenda Kaya Forests consist of 10 separate forest sites spread over some 200 km along the coast containing the remains of numerous fortified villages, known as kayas, of the Mijikenda people. The kayas, created as of the 16th century but abandoned by the 1940s, are now regarded as the abodes of ancestors and are revered as sacred sites and, as such, are maintained as by councils of elders. The site is inscribed as bearing unique testimony to a cultural tradition and for its direct link to a living tradition. (UNESCO)
