WE LOVE ART !

We had it confirmed yesterday that our dear Flickr friend, Gérard had left us. I say confirmed because I had noticed he had not reappeared as he always did and the days of his absence were increasingly disturbing. I thought about him often of late...his loyalty, consistent presence and most of all his humor. He is the only one I've ever known who I could really hear laugh when he wrote "LOL."
It's funny how this medium can actually develop what can only be defined as real friendships when one anticipates and looks forward to daily interactions and comments. I recall the shock I felt when he informed us of his condition...and clearly recall also the shock he himself felt in just those few dramatic words. I eagerly awaited his return to Flickr from his treatments and, when he did, marveled at his spirit during this impossibly difficult time.
Gérard and I shared musical tastes and frequently exchanged YouTube links we thought appropriate to an image or an expressed thought. In many ways, we were on the same "wave length" and we discussed and mourned the losses in the musical arena this year. And now he has joined them. It has indeed been a year of loss.
So adieu, mon ami. You will be missed deeply by many, as myself, who have never met or even spoken to you...a tribute indeed. Oh, and I can tell that's you captured in this image by the white head...;-)
And one more link to carry you onward...
Today, spring has come to southern Sweden.
But near Stockholm it´s raining as usual this winter.
Happy weekend dear friends.

Just some nice looking leaves.
Oh, and they were found in Paris, France while we were on a business/vacation trip in 2013.

...... rather build bridges
that connect us,
instead of always
walls that
constrict us
The Zeeland Bridge in the Netherlands
in the warm light. That's what I wish you
to photograph
Wir sollten.....
......mehr Brücken
bauen die uns verbinden,
anstatt immer nur
Mauern die uns
einengen
Die Zeelandbrücke in den Niederlanden
im warmen Licht. Das wünsche ich euch
zum fotografieren
We're heading off soon, so this is my last cottage photo in this binge week. I'll probably see you again around Thursday, but it could be a little sooner or a little later. Play nicely in my absence.

We spotted this Elephant ear chameleon on one of our many nocturnal forest walks in Madagascar. It was a memorable encounter for us but not too sure about the chameleon which looks a bit grumpy.
Hope you remember this oldie

Happy Sunday
Silence can always be broken by the sound of footsteps walking over frozen ground in winter, when the melancholy trees stand abject and let their branches freeze.

Every year around this time, these two Sandhill Cranes' come to our area for a few months. Bucks County PA.
We had been away for a while, and when we came back to our old country house, I saw this “spot” of about 1 cm² outside on the kitchen window. I thought a young bird had crashed and made this, but later noticed that the spot had changed shape. Taking a better look revealed that the spot was actually many small spider babies. Sometimes close in a bunch, later more spread, then close again. I let them live there until one day the spot was gone, and now I have hundreds of small spiders around my house, I guess :-)
we are mourning the loss of a very popular and vibrant grade 11 student at our school this week and it has been a hard go for his friends...a reminder that they really are not invincible... On explore @#73, May 6/09, up to 50 May7, #45 May 8/09, 41 on May 9
Weather patterns have definitely become more extreme...in some of the bushfire areas there were welcoming rain but it pours so heavily that flash flooding is now a problem. Some area received 3 years of rainfall in a space of 12 hrs!

I could not resist and chose this title because these nine mini clothespins (1cm x 4mm in size each) look like dancers in a disco :))

We are reaching the penultimate station now.
You can see an interpretation of the very dynamic station "Am Hart" with this wonderful wavy lamp. Made for surfers, who are not afraid of very cold water :-)
Metro Blues # 13
We got off the ship while it was still in the ocean, went down the gangplank to a catamaran, and took an excursion into Tracy Arm. What an incredible place of beauty! This is Sawyer Glacier, and I was amazed to capture it calfing. It makes quite a noise when the glacier breaks apart and falls to the ocean. If you zoom in, you'll see that those tiny black spots are birds, so you can get a sense of scale here. I was in awe of the blues everywhere, in the ice and in the water.
It was about 7C out, and with the wind chill, probably right at the freezing point.
