an exchange between you and the landscape, in which - however unlikely this may seem - there is a dialogue between the two of you. It is simply courtesy to allow the landscape to speak :-)

"In botany, a bract is a modified or specialized leaf. Some bracts are brightly colored and attracting pollinators.Before understanding what a bract is, it is helpful to understand what it is not.
First, it is not a part of the 'flower' by definition.Complete flowers are composed of four parts: sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils. A bract is none of these. Some bracts are brightly colored and serve the function of attracting pollinators."

During sunset, a cloud flew in in an amazing shape (a bird, a dragon, and maybe an angel ...)
A little understanding of the physics of cloud formation underscores the complexity of the atmosphere and sheds light on why predicting weather for more than a few days is such a challenge.
Six types of clouds you can see and how they can help you understand the weather.
1) Cumulus clouds - On a sunny day, rays warm the earth, which heats the air located directly above it. The heated air rises upward due to convection and forms cumulus clouds. These “good weather” clouds are like cotton wool. If you look at the sky filled with cumulus clouds, you can see that they have a flat bottom, located at the same level for all clouds. At this altitude, air rising from ground level cools down to the dew point. It usually doesn't rain from cumulus clouds, which means the weather will be good.
2) Cumulonimbus clouds.
Small cumulus clouds do not rain, but if they grow and grow in height, it is a sign that heavy rain is coming soon. This often happens in summer when morning cumulus clouds turn into cumulonimbus during the day. Cumulonimbus clouds often have a flat top. Air convection occurs inside such a cloud, and it gradually cools until it reaches the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. At this moment, it loses its buoyancy and can no longer rise higher. Instead, it spreads out to the sides, forming the characteristic anvil shape.
3) Cirrus clouds form in very high layers of the atmosphere. They are smoky because they are composed entirely of ice crystals falling in the atmosphere. When cirrus clouds are carried by winds moving at different speeds, they take on a characteristic curved shape. And only at very high altitudes or at high latitudes, cirrus clouds give out rain that reaches the ground.
4) Stratus Clouds - A low-lying, continuous cloud sheet that covers the sky. Stratus clouds are formed by slowly rising air or gentle winds that cover the cold land or sea surface with moist air. Stratus clouds are thin, therefore, despite the gloomy picture, it is unlikely to rain from them, a little drizzle at most. Stratus clouds are identical to fog, so if you've ever walked in a mountainous area on a foggy day, you've been inside a cloud.
5) Lenticular clouds. Smooth and lenticular lenticular clouds form when air is blown up and over a mountain range, and as it travels over a mountain, the air descends to its previous level. At this time, it heats up and the cloud evaporates. But it can slip further, as a result of which the air rises again and forms another lenticular cloud. This can result in a chain of clouds extending far beyond the mountain range. The interaction of wind with mountains and other surface features is one of the many details that must be taken into account in computer simulations to obtain accurate weather predictions.
6) Kelvin - Helmholtz like a breaking ocean wave. When air masses at different heights move horizontally at different speeds, their state becomes unstable. The boundary between the air masses begins to ripple and form large waves, such clouds are quite rare.

I thought these pincushions looked rather pretty in black and white. They are white anyway. Thank you to all my Flickr friends for your continued support!!
Celle ci a une saveur tout à fait particulière puisque c'est enfin mon tout premier Martin 2020 , après m'être cassé les dents à plusieurs reprises sur mes spots habituels ces derniers temps , j'ai donc décidé de changer de tactique en exploitant d'autres endroits , armé d'une paire de jumelles j'ai cherché les indices m'indiquant ses lieux de pêche , et je suis tombé finalement sur une grosse branche de saule qui surplombe la rivière et c'est depuis cette branche que j'ai pu observer mon gaillard en action de pêche , ni une ni deux j'ai mis en place mon fameux mode opératoire habituel en fichant sur la berge un perchoir non loin de la branche et finalement ce matin là il est venu à deux reprises prendre possession de son tout nouveau plongeoir .

This one has a very special flavor since it's finally my very first Martin 2020, after having broken my teeth several times on my usual spots lately, so I decided to change tactics by exploiting 'other places, armed with a pair of binoculars I looked for clues indicating its fishing grounds, and I finally came across a large willow branch overlooking the river and it is from this branch that I I was able to observe my fellow fishing, neither one nor two I set up my famous usual operating mode by tying a perch on the bank not far from the branch and finally that morning he came twice to take possession of its brand new diving board.

This guy cracked me up. This was shot in Badlands National park. We saw a few owls and shot a ton of images. This guy was the most fun though. I was super far from him, shooting with my 600mm. I was lying on the ground, something I do a lot to get a unique POV. Every time I would shift my weight, or pull down the camera to check my settings of look at the images, he would stop what he was doing and stare at me. There was clearly an understanding, he was going to allow me to photograph him, as long as I stayed there and did not move. When I moved, I broke the unwritten contract and he called me on it putting me in check with his unbreaking stare. I could hear him saying, "dude, seriously, sit still." So I mostly agreed with the contract and sat frozen for quite some time. I could use this to my advantage though. If I wanted him to look at me, I just slightly shifted. Done, there was the stare, right on queue.
Enjoy.
Understanding is the reflection of creating.

Chaque image a sa petite histoire et celle-ci n'échappe pas à la règle , en me rendant sur un de mes spots " passereaux " je m'engage dans le petit chemin et ce joli spécimen était juché en haut d'un talus , me voyant arriver sur place il a eu la bonne idée de s'aplatir pensant que je ne le verrai pas , arrivé à 40 mètres il a préféré passer de l'autre côté du talus , ni une ni deux je me suis garé à distance respectable ( 20 mètres ) j'ai mis le filet de camouflage devant la portière de mon carrosse et j'ai attendu sagement qu'il revienne , l'attente ne fût pas bien longue , une vingtaine de minutes et il a repris sa vie de Faisan en restant quasi deux bonnes heures à gratter la terre et parader en haut de son talus .

Each image has its own little story and this is no exception to the rule, by going to one of my "passerine" spots, I take the small path and this pretty specimen was perched on top of an embankment, seeing me arrive on the spot he had the good idea to flatten himself thinking that I will not see him, arrived at 40 meters he preferred to pass on the other side of the embankment, neither one nor two I parked at a respectable distance (20 meters) I put the camouflage net in front of the door of my coach and I waited wisely for him to come back, the wait was not very long, about twenty minutes and he resumed his life as a pheasant by remaining almost two good hours to scratch the ground and parade at the top of its embankment.

The little prince helps to take care of the baby bears...
Skippy was inspired to create his universe with the help of two amazing new collections:
Booger's Baby Bear Day Care !
Scarlet Creative Architecture's Cordelia Chateau and Furniture!
You can pick up both sets at the Arcade!
Take care of one another, my friends.
Let's lift one another up up up.
Together we can create a universe
based on compassion and understanding!
When are we going to learn to live together in peace and understanding? Violence is NO solution. We need to share our space in this world together and make room for all of us to share with respect, friendship and love! There is NO ROOM for hate in this world, it just kills us all and creates never-ending pain and devastation. STOP the hate, START the love!!!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Those who have chosen the path of least resistance in life, who cannot bear to bring themselves to make a stern value-judgment in criticism of their own most intimate feelings, achieve what they deserve: not self-understanding but radical self-superficialization, not a discovered but a self-ascribed identity that explains nothing, reveals nothing, means nothing, and ultimately accomplishes nothing culturally or intellectually.
-- Kenny Smith

Peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Just open up your heart, let the sun shine in
Let it shine down on you
Understanding the laws of nature does not mean that we are immune to their operations.

When we understand the importance of living together without judgement we will have arrived at a significantly better place than we are today. It is easy to be judgmental, but what purpose does it have? If we live together in peace and allow one another to live the way we wish as long as it does not physically harm anyone, that is what we should be aiming for. Compassion, love, tolerance, understanding, acceptance, respect, equality, diversity and decency will take you a long way. Steer your children away from hate, greed, selfishness and power, this type of behavior only causes pain and sadness to so many, so let's embrace our differences. This should happen globally with all nationalities being involved. So let's get started now!
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

My eldest offspring (being an archeologist) gave me a deeper understanding of the construction and self demolition of Norman churches during a Father’s Day outing.
Let's keep doing everything we can to create a just world founded on kindness, compassion, and understanding.
Remember that justice grows out of recognition of ourselves in each other — that my liberty depends on you being free too.
Stay strong, and keep speaking out against all forms of injustice.
Sending love, light, and hope, my friends.

8f8’s “Stepping out from the Crowd” Artwork from the Out of The Box Set, which is part of the Imagine… Collection!
8f8’s Messy Gracie Coco!, which is part of the When I’m Away… Collection!
And for the festive occasion, the little rascal wears Deadwool!
I am grateful for all of YOU!
Thank you for your continued kindness and support.
I hope we can continue to come together to create a world founded on compassion, understanding, and love.
Happy Thanksgiving, my friends!
(And don’t worry… There’s enough pie for everyone!)
It strikes me that we humans are always arriving. Whether it be a physical arrival at our favorite beach or coffee shop, or an inner arrival as we reach some new level of understanding, it seems we're always in motion toward both known and unknown destinations. Today, Marg's plan for me is to repair myself to the yard with shovel and rake in-hand. Who knows where that will eventually take me. Probably to the medicine cabinet for a dose of pain killers.

“The conceptual boundaries of what it means to be human or what we human beings mean by nature have never been less secure.”15 Emerging from and integrated into a chaotic world rather than a position of mastery and control removed from it, “the cyborg has the potential not only to disrupt persistent dualisms (body and soul; matter and spirit) but also to refashion our thinking about the theoretical understanding of the body as a material entity and a discursive process.”

Wybung Head, perched in the Munmorah State Conservation Area, is the kind of place that earns its name. "Wybung" is a local Aboriginal word meaning "Dangerous Sea," and this headland delivers on that promise with sheer, unfenced cliffs and an ocean that is perpetually trying to lull unwary rock fisherman, and photographers, to their grave.
The headland offers 270-degree views of the coastline, and on a clear day, you can see for miles—just don’t get too close to those crumbly edges. Whale watchers and ocean gazers find plenty to love here. However, shade and shelter are entirely absent, and the wind shows no mercy. We visited on a Wednesday afternoon when the temperature soared into the 30s °C and the wind gusted at 40 km/h. I’ve never felt closer to understanding life inside an air fryer.
After edging uncomfortably close to the edge of the crumbly cliffs at the end of the headland for the obligatory heart-stopping views, we decided to head down to the cheerily named Deadman’s Beach. Because why wouldn’t you follow up a stop at "Dangerous Sea" with a jaunt to "Deadman’s Beach"? “Track” is a generous term—it’s more like a gravity experiment with added rocks. From there, we scrambled around the rockshelf to Frazer Beach for a swim. The ocean has never felt so refreshing! The crowd (about a dozen people) wasn’t ideal, but hey, its school holidays, and the nearby campground explains the human influx.
This photo captures Wybung Head itself, though its sheer scale is hard to convey. If you squint, you might spot a post with a lifejacket at the end of the rockshelf to the bottom right of Wybung, a small but poignant reminder of the dangers of the seas at this beautiful place.
Have a great week out there.
Thanks for all the kind comments , they are always greatly appreciated.
Dans la rue, chaque rencontre est une histoire en suspens …
Cette jeune femme et son enfant, le sourire franc et l’espoir discret, rappellent que la street photo n’est pas qu’une chasse à l’instant décisif et c’est aussi une affaire de respect et de bienveillance !
Un regard, un sourire, parfois une simple pièce…
Ces gestes instaurent une complicité sincère, une reconnaissance mutuelle ...
Être photographe de rue, c’est apprendre à équilibrer curiosité et considération, à saisir l’émotion sans oublier l’humain 🤔
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
On the street, every encounter is a story in the making…
This young woman and her child, their smiles bright and hopeful, remind us that street photography isn’t just about capturing the decisive moment and it’s also about respect and kindness.
A look, a smile, sometimes a small coin…
Yhese gestures create a genuine bond, a quiet understanding...
To be a street photographer is to balance curiosity with empathy, to catch emotion without losing sight of the human being behind it 🤔

Beauty, compassion, understanding and love are my weapons of choice in this World Anti-war I. I feel that they are very powerful. And on the both sides of this war (of course you know that there, in Russia, at the other side of the war, a lot of people are fighting against war, as they could) my heart is with peaceful people. Even at the battlefields Ukrainians are fighting to banish and to take down the war.
They hate the war. They are fighting for peace. And so am I.
