As in, reasons why a 3-mile-hike can take me several hours to complete: lupine, camera in hand, heavenly floral scents around, more lupine, balsamroot, a different camera for some variety, glowy spots on the trail, lupine.

So I'm trotting down the trail by the lake, and this canoe comes by. Not just any canoe, but a 25 ft ginourmous canoe with eight burley guys (ok, the stern rower is probably a women) paddling their hearts out. This pic doesn't convey the speed of the thing - they are zipping!
The gal at the steering oar, imagine: whooshing down this beautiful blue lake, beneath her, all these hunky guys (and gal) churning the water, the deck surging under her feet at every stroke. I bet she feels like a queen. She should wear a crown. Bigger
God, I love this town!
today afternoon I gonna take a little time for visit my magic tree .... I always love to sit under his proud crown in order for time to see around me and in me ..... but when I came closer and closer ...
I could not believe my eyes.... where's my tree?? what happened ? my tree has been killed, just like that ... has he changed his lonely life ?... but I feel it ..the roots of this tree deep in the earth are strong and have enough energy to re-grow sometimes a beautiful tree. I myself will no longer be able to experience, but someone will again sit under his proud crown.. I hope ..
Some time ago this tree was the Inspiration to found the group High Energy Places .....

There Is No Place Like Home
People often ask why I don’t travel more. In the past week alone, no fewer than five people have chastised me for it — as if staying close to home means I’m missing something essential. But I live on Canada’s west coast, surrounded by wilderness, endless landscapes, the Pacific Ocean, and two of the most beautiful cities in the world — Vancouver and Victoria. For me, discovery isn’t tied to distance. It lives right here.
Places like Pitt Polder Ecological Reserve remind me that familiarity never dulls beauty. Just beyond these wetlands lie Golden Ears and Garibaldi Provincial Parks — over 2,000 square kilometres of protected wilderness, from rugged peaks to deep forests and alpine icefields, all just minutes from my door. The light shifts, clouds gather and dissolve, and the water mirrors a new mood every time. Even after countless visits, it still feels like a first encounter.
I don’t feel the need to chase faraway horizons. There’s always something new here — some shift in light, some detail I’ve never noticed, some corner of this place I haven’t yet explored. I doubt I could discover it all in my lifetime, and I’m grateful to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Curious and friendly kitty who walked over to visit me and my camera while on a day trip in Johor Bahru.
Cattle Egrets characteristically follows moving cattle, native large mammals, birds, or tractors capturing food disturbed by their movement.
"..Cattle Egrets prefer animals that move forward at the most appropriate speed for their own Walking foraging. When following farm, mowing, or land moving equipment, it uses Leap Frog Feeding, in which birds land at the tractor, remain in place foraging, and then fly to the moving head of the flock again. It also uses this behavior without farm equipment, the flock serving as its own beater (Newton 1986)..."

This photo was taken in June, which coincides with the breeding season of the egrets in north India, which is why most of the birds are in breeding plumage.
Hotel in Montreal's Chinatown. I think Versailles has similarly placed stone lions near a side entrance :-]
We went upstairs to escape the vacuum and the crazy lady who runs it all the time. The look on the cat's face is one of great confusion and worry, "Why does this keep happening? When can we leave?"

Piazza del Duomo, Firenze, in un qualsiasi martedì mattina.
Lascio i commenti agli altri.
Vorrei solo precisare che ho fotografato questo signore, con molto rispetto per la sua persona e con molta vergogna per la sua condizione.
A caribbean octopus (Octopus briareus) in a row pore rope sponge (Aplysina Cauliformis). This is my second post from this encounter - it was just too much fun to leave at one.
You only find caribbean octopuses during the night and even then, they don't like our lights. (Note, not "octopi" because unlike the Latin derived "fungus", octupus is from Greek.) This is the only time I have found one "up" off the reef. I don't know exactly why it was there but it stayed for quite some time despite me shining a light on it and hitting it with strobes. I wish I were able to figure out why it was so motivated to be in the rope sponge, but I so enjoyed the encounter nonetheless.
For a sense of scale, my guess is that if the octopus fully tucked itself into a ball, it wouldn't be much larger than your fist. But those arms could outstretch to wrap around a soccer ball, maybe even a basketball.
Here we see it in its prettiest iridescent blue. In an instance, generally when hunting, it can turn white with brown spots. I don't do video, but I have to admit that a video would do a much better job than a still image to capture how amazing these creatures are.
perché? o come? o quando , in quale circostanza ?
ogni cosa ha un'anima !?
oppure nessuna !
diverso potrebbe essere per la coscienza o l'autocoscienza , che non tutti gli esseri senzienti possiedono , o nessuno tranne l'uomo! qualcuno potrebbe obiettare....ma...siamo proprio sicuri che gli umani ne siano dotati ?
di certo hanno un'anima , seppur per nulla si sa realmente di che cosa si trattata , però di certo potremmo affermare che consapevolmente oppure no , ad ogni manufatto ,strada o sentiero ,casa ,recinto o albero che viene potato imprimiamo qualcosa( totalmente o in parte) cambiandone il futuro e lasciando così una nostra impronta ;dunque trasferendo una parte di noi o della nostra anima . lo vediamo nei dipinti, scritti o statue di grandi pittori o scultori ,architetti o poeti le cui opere sono arrivate sino ai giorni nostri , ma se ben guardiamo ogni oggetto , per forma ,colore , funzione , se non prodotto dalla natura incontaminata , è il frutto del pensiero , conscio /inconscio ......dunque il rosso caramella della casa potrebbe essere legato all'infanzia di quell'uomo a cui appartenne un giocattolo che gli fu rotto da un'altro bimbo ...o mille altre storie , una ripicca, un capriccio della nostalgica moglie sudamericana , o chissà il colore di un rossetto perso in aeroporto ....
quante storie contiene un'oggetto ...
o quante anime vi abitano contemporaneamente ?
cosa è vivo e cosa non lo è ?
tutto ha un'anima nella religione shintoista difatti è una fede o credo animista ;cosa che a noi occidentali pare tanto assurda , seppur vero che l'animismo è nato prima ,molto prima di qualsiasi altra fede , per poi raffinarsi sempre più in concetti che mano a mano ci hanno portato ,via,via, sempre più lontano da tutto ciò che ci circonda.
per questo motivo alle volte ci sentiamo stranieri o alieni sulla nostra stessa terra , incapaci di vedere ,capire o sentire tutto ciò che va oltre le semplici apparenze.
Why change anything, when it works. What looked like a promising start with the colour only to see it highlighting the bank of cloud that would hide the sunburst. Oh well next year
In my dream children sing a song of love for every boy and girl
The sky is blue and fields are green and laughter is the language of the world
Then I wake and all I see is a world full of people in need
Tell me why (why) does it have to be like this?
Tell me why (why) is there something I have missed?
Tell me why (why) cos I don't understand.
When so many need somebody we don't give a helping hand.
Tell me why?
Everyday I ask myself what will I have to do to be a man?
Do I have to stand and fight to prove to everybody who I am?
Is that what my life is for to waste in a world full of war?
Tell me why?
I know as the night goes on
You might end up with someone
So why do I bite my tongue?
Oh, I wanna know ya
I'm lookin' around the room
Is one of those strangers you?
And do you notice me too?
Oh, I wanna know ya . . .

Honestly this image was inspired by this choreography, the way it was done and way it brought out the song’s emotions. I thought it was absolutely beautiful.
Obviously the picture is nothing close to that video, but meh - the feelings I hope were somehow captured.
My first shot on Flickr with my new mirrorless camera, the Sony a7R II. I wrote about why I'm making the jump in my new Why I'm Going Mirrorless blog post.
