A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard....
...Imagine That ?!...:D
A Shamgoma child stares me down. Wise beyond her years, she taught me a few things in the short time I spent with her.
A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke.
The less he spoke the more he heard...
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?
Whenever I see owls, I think of this fun quote. This owl was difficult to spot he was so quiet and still hiding behind the branches of the tree. I had to give it my best effort. Hope you like my peek-a-boo shot.
This is the Harbor Freight Tools hardware store located at 129 Ridgeview Road located in the Ridgeview Shopping Center in Wise, VA. It opened in part of the former Kmart in fall 2016; interestingly, in order to open this store, the old garden shop structure was taken down.
All I'm really asking is, what are we doing here
Are we just killing time just living year to year
In this big world, no one else can play our part
Ain't it time to just wake up and give it all
Lamb

'Wise old owl lived in an oak,
the more he saw the less he spoke,
the less he spoke the more he heard:
why can't we all be like that wise old bird?'

The four monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil. Sometimes there is a fourth monkey depicted with the three others; the last one, Shizaru, symbolizes the principle of "do no evil". He has shown crossing his arms.

I liked the way the light caught this horse's face as he turned his head away. Cropped down drastically from a much wider shot, I'm quite pleased with the way it's turned out. Did a colour version too, but really like it in monochrome.
Biography: Ozeline Pearson Wise was the first Black woman to be employed in the banking department of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. She grew up in Michigan and Massachusetts, graduating from high school in Cambridge, Mass. With the death of her father before she began college, she sought employment in the postal service. Despite a high score on the civil service examination, she was not hired and began to work at various clerical jobs. During World War II, she worked for the U.S. Navy in both ship fittings and personnel. She was then employed for 20 years by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In 1963, after the death of her husband, John Wise, she went to live in Cambridge with her sister, Satyra Bennett. Very active in St. Paul A.M.E. Church, which her father, the Rev. William B. Pearson, had pastored, she was trustee, Sunday School teacher, and chair of the building fund. Cofounder with her sister, and a charter member of the Citizens' Charitable Health Association, she also worked with Mrs. Bennett in other community organizations. Her contributions to her church were recognized in 1969 and again in 1978.

Our final day in the lakes and a more modest and flatter walk (less that 2500ft total ascent). This is Wise Een Tarn near Sawrey and Windermere.
(EXPLORE) Back to the Parrot Refuge in Coombs, B.C. for today's post......this older fellow was one of the first to greet me and had loads of personality. You can see he's looking a little worn around the edges but you barely noticed that with his sunny disposition.
I hope the response from Black Day Sunday opened some eyes and ears at flickr.....I think many of the old & wise members voiced their concerns very well. This site should not cater to just the new and young "followers", this is a community for all ages.
I have been checking an owl nest lately to see if the babies would show themselves. I finally saw them tonight but couldn't get any good shots - so I thought I would post a picture of the male.

Having grown up in the South (southern United States), it took a southern writer like Flannery O'Connor to peel the scales from my eyes. She showed me a different vision of spirituality and American belief. Although there are stand alone versions of Wise Blood, the one I read was in this edition, 3 By Flannery O'Connor.
