These trees look beautiful as they stand in rows, creating such depth with light and lines.
This beauty if man made. None of these trees are old.
This trail followed used to be a road to a town in the middle of the forest. A little mill town. A forest fire whiped out the town and the trees.
People planted these trees closely in rows.
The trees are real, but they are too perfect, a fake perfect.
completely personal. completely vulnerable.
today has been awful. i just want everything to end. i can't wait to escape.
i haven't taken such honest picture in a long time. if ever. it says so much. to myself. i put my pain into it.
taking pictures has probably never made me feel the way it did today.

To have love and be loved we must be open to be vulnerable or we might miss what that love is. The flowers are just standing letting any one that comes by pick them. we might love them in that vase on the table but the flowers gave their life's away that you could love them in a vase. Love is all about giving a way parts of our selfs.
Black Dragon Pool Park
Old Town Of Lijiang

"The water that feeds the five-hectare Black Dragon Pool bubbles up
from the foot of Elephant Hill. Here a stone bridge and the elegant
three-tiered Deyue Pavilion offer stunning prospects of the mountain,
trailing a wisp of cloud like a scarf on the breeze" -- Peter Moss
(an excerpt from the book "Lijiang, The Imperiled Utopia")
Yellow-bellied Sunbird-asity (Neodrepanis hypoxantha), male in breeding plumage. Despite their appearance, these birds are closely related to Asian broadbills; their slender beaks representing an example of convergence with sunbirds due to their nectar-feeding habits. Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar.

The rain almost looks like snow. It was cool but not that chilly at the famous viewing spot in Elliston, Bonavista Peninsula, Newfoundland.
Cabañeros National Park is a vast protected natural area located between the provinces of Ciudad Real and Toledo, in Castilla-La Mancha. It is considered the best example of Mediterranean forest in Europe and is distinguished by its great biological and landscape diversity, covering more than 40,000 hectares.
Its main features include:
Landscape: It is divided into two distinct areas:
La Raña: A vast plain with herbaceous vegetation where holm oak forests proliferate and large herbivores such as deer graze. It is an ideal habitat for steppe birds such as the little bustard and the stone curlew, and you can also observe storks and great bustards.
La Sierra: Composed of extensive rocky areas and scree covered with dense Mediterranean forests and scrub. Holm oak forests, cork oak forests, oak forests, and Pyrenean oak forests dominate here, along with scrubland such as rockrose and heath. It is home to large birds of prey such as the black vulture, the Spanish imperial eagle, and the black stork, as well as large mammals such as deer, roe deer, and wild boar.
Geology: Materials such as quartzite and slate predominate. In some areas, especially on the Boquerón del Estena route (considered a Site of Geological Interest), fossils dating back more than 400 million years can be found, indicating that the area was once covered by a sea.
Hydrography: Numerous streams and creeks cross the park, with their greatest flow in autumn and spring, contributing to a mosaic of flowers during these seasons. The park is bordered to the east by the Bullaque River and to the west by the Estena River.
Biodiversity: It is home to a rich fauna, including endangered species such as the Iberian lynx and the Spanish imperial eagle. Its flora is equally valuable, with different bioclimatic zones and 22 species classified as vulnerable or of special interest.
Cultural Values: The name "Cabañeros" refers to the old huts used by shepherds and charcoal burners. Traditional activities such as cork-cutting and beekeeping are still practiced.
The park offers hiking trails, guided off-road tours, and activities such as birdwatching and canoeing. It is an idyllic place to enjoy nature in its purest form at any time of year, with hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters. The deer rut in autumn (September-October) is particularly noteworthy, a natural spectacle for observing large deer.

@ Coonoor, Nilgiris Dist
Tamil Nadu, India

About the Bird (as per Wiki)- The Nilgiri Flycatcher is a small and somewhat long-tailed flycatcher is about 13 cms. As seen in the shot, it is dark steely indigo blue with some violet-blue on the forehead and darker lores.The base of the outer tail feathers are white but this is not easily visible when the bird is sitting. The wing feathers are dark brown with a narrow outer fringe of blue.
With a very restricted range in the hills of southern India, it is found mainly in the higher altitude Shola Forests of the Western Ghats and the Nilgiris which provide ideal oscillating climate and unique floral structure in the montane ecosystems provide special microclimatic conditions and habitat for the species, and such montane ecosystems are known as ‘sky islands’.
Climate change induced by human activities, restricted range and increased environmental degradation has put this beautiful bird at rink and is making it more and more vulnerable.

This autumn, the Noordbrabants Museum will exhibit the intriguing work of a young artist from Northern Ireland, Claire Morgan. After successful exhibitions abroad, including in Britain, this will be her first solo museum exhibition in the Netherlands. Morgan’s sculptures and paintings explore the vulnerable relationship between people and their natural environment. Morgan’s work has already attracted lots of international attention in Paris, London, Milan and New York.
"To take a photograph is to participate in another person's mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time's relentless melt.”
“To share your weakness is to make yourself vulnerable; to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength.”
Poem:
Cheer up, O grievous snail.
I tap your shell, encouragingly,
not that you will ever know about it.
And I want nothing to do with you, either, sulking toad.
Imagine, at least four times my size and yet so vulnerable.
I could open your belly with my claw.
You glare and bulge, a
watchdog near my pool; you make a loud and hollow noise.
I do not care for such stupidity.
I admire compression, lightness,
and agility, all rare in this loose world.
GTFO JUST TRYING TO BE NAKED IN THE WOODS CAN'T I GET SOME PRIVACY GEEZ.
So glad these thorny asshole bushes finally came in handy.
A group of us non-lafg2013ers decided to embark on a giant collaboration; the first concept we’re attempting is our greatest fear.
At first I wanted to do something light-hearted about my fear of flies or injections or corn (it’s like a million little rotted teeth on a stick…) but I realized that’s part of my actual big huge mega-fear, vulnerability. Not the physical kind--I don’t doubt my ability or willingness to kick some ass in a pinch--but the emotional sort. And don't get me wrong, strong emotional defenses like humor are important, but I think mine are a little much. Long story shortish I was bullied a cray ton in middle school until I just kind of made a little suit of feels armor for myself and I’ve never really figured out how to strip it in the presence of most people. I swear I go through the same argument with the little voice in my head every single time I interact with anyone; if I let my guard down the other person is free to judge and reject the secret parts of myself that make me a unique human in the clusterfuck of all the other billions.
But then I’m all ‘why do I feel so compelled to let others define my worth’ and then I’m all ’social acceptance is pretty important to the survival of things with brains bro’ but then I’m all ‘I mean that’s a good excuse but literally millions of other people have learned to get past that, what makes me special’ and then I wallow, typically. I mean, basically it’s fear of pain which is practically etched into our skulls from birth, so I know I'm not alone in this, but at the same time just aghajakfgl.
And I know I could have it so much worse. I could be afraid of starvation or disease or my own parents. But in the relative scope of my general insignificance my fear of emotional vulnerability is the thing that keeps me up at night so. Welcome to the most personal photo I’ve ever done, y’all.
And you know. The most publicly naked one.
*******If anyone else out there shares my fear there’s an awesome TED talk on the subject by Brené Brown. Even if you don't, just watch it. It's even funny so none of you have an excuse.
Here's to a more fearless 2013 for everybody :)
I shot this the day before the big quake and the resulting tsunami hit Japan. I'm not sure if I will ever look at the ocean the same way again. In some ways this shot reminds me of the world as I remember it on September 10th, 2001. Everything suddenly shifted from the comfort of the mundane to the horror of the unimaginable. I think the world changed on 3/11/2011 just as it did on 9/11/2001.

The Great Curassow is a large, pheasant-like bird from the Neotropical rainforests, its range extending from eastern Mexico, through Central America to western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. Male birds are black with curly crests and yellow beaks; females come in three colour morphs, barred, rufous and black.
This species is threatened by loss of habitat and hunting, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as "vulnerable". As this is a difficult bird to find in the wild, I went to see this captive female at Hamerton Zoo which specialises in rare and endangered animals.
