I learned how the aoudad, Yellow, received her name. Years ago, there were several aoudads at the zoo. This last survivor of the group is the one who had a yellow tag on her ear.
Now, we all know.

Thanks Rubyblossom for the texture! www.flickr.com/photos/rubyblossom/
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 .....

“Why is it," he said, one time, at the subway entrance, "I feel I've known you so many years?"
"Because I like you," she said, "and I don't want anything from you.”

Curious and friendly kitty who walked over to visit me and my camera while on a day trip in Johor Bahru.
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.
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.
Thank you for the visit and comments are welcome.

Why are you still here little Hermit Thrush?
Most of his cousins and buddies must have migrated to warmer climates by now (like I intend to do in a few weeks!) ; -) But this little straggler is still here in the brutal coldness. Hope he makes his move soon to his spot in the sun!
Excerpt from winnie-the-pooh.bib.bz:
“You seem so sad, Eeyore.” “Sad? Why should I be sad? It's my birthday. The happiest day of the year.” “Your birthday?” said Pooh in great surprise. “Of course it is. Can't you see? Look at all the presents I have had.” He waved a foot from side to side. “Look at the birthday cake. Candles and pink sugar.” Pooh looked—first to the right and then to the left. “Presents?” said Pooh. “Birthday cake?” said Pooh. “Where?” “Can't you see them?” “No,” said Pooh. “Neither can I,” said Eeyore. “Joke,” he explained. “Ha ha!” Pooh scratched his head, being a little puzzled by all this. “But is it really your birthday?” he asked. “It is.” “Oh! Well, Many happy returns of the day, Eeyore.” “And many happy returns to you, Pooh Bear.” “But it isn't my birthday.” “No, it's mine.” “But you said 'Many happy returns'—” “Well, why not? You don't always want to be miserable on my birthday, do you?” “Oh, I see,” said Pooh. “It's bad enough.” said Eeyore. almost breaking down “being miserable myself, what with no presents and no cake and no candles, and no proper notice taken of me at all, but if everybody else is going to be miserable too—”
Whew, I thought you would never ask.
Why sheep, why silverfish, why Rrose? Why chickenman, why James and Marcel, why bother?
Why anything?
Why Marcel, the janitor, even?
Why not?

Why does this Verdin twist itself to select a pistach berry when it would be just as easy to stand upright to get it?
