...." And when we bring what is within us out into the world, miracles happen" by Ralph Waldo Emmerson
"If it were within my power, I would bring you the moon just to see you smile. And if ever life demanded it, I would not hesitate to stand between you and the storm. That is how deeply you live in my heart. You are my reason, my strength, and my peace."
"Get You The Moon"
(feat. Snøw)
You gave me a shoulder when I needed it
You showed me love when I wasn't feeling it
You helped me fight when I was giving in
And you made me laugh when I was losing it
'Cause you are, you are
The reason why I'm still hanging on
'Cause you are, you are
The reason why my head is still above water
And if I could I'd get you the moon, yeah
And give it to you
And if death was coming for you
I'd give my life for you
'Cause you are, you are
The reason why I'm still hanging on
'Cause you are, you are
The reason why my head is still above water
And if I could I'd get you the moon
And give it to you
And if death was coming for you
I'd give my life for you
'Cause you are, you are
Oh, you are
Oh, you are
You are
'Cause you are, you are
The reason why I'm still hanging on
'Cause you are, you are
The reason why my head is still above water
And if I could I'd get you the moon
And give it to you
And if death was coming for you
I'd give my life for you

This rock within a rock caught my eye when we were exploring the Ojito wilderness. It speaks to me about the passage of time, deep time to be more specific. It looks to me as if eons ago a boulder got swallowed by the next rock layer of the next epoch. Then, in more modern times the lichen came and decorated the whole thing.
But even lichen are slow growing.
Everything seems to happen at a pace slower than fingernails grow.

Gorgeous Sunrise over Mont Saint Michel, Normandy, France
Well, I don't mind admitting that I was not expecting any sort of colour in the sky over Saint Michel when I visited one morning last week, partly because the sun rises over my right shoulder but alas, having arrived to find nobody in-situ, I quickly set up and waited.
The clouds started rolling by as the sun rose and within half an hour or so, the colour started to build. I was absolutely delighted I can tell you and even more so because this interesting and photogenic stretch of land before me while it looks like a tidal river, is in fact rain water that has filled this wonderful shallow gully.
It had rained quite a lot recently according to the locals and this provided me with a fantastic opportunity to capture water that makes an amazing lead in line. I was certainly blessed this morning for sure and with grey skies predicted for the rest of the week (which turned out to be partly true), it might have been great timing.
Have a great day/evening everyone 😁

Berkeley Castle is a castle in the town of Berkeley, Gloucestershire, UK. The castle's origins date back to the 11th century, and it has been designated by English Heritage as a grade I listed building.
The castle has remained within the Berkeley family since they reconstructed it in the 12th century, except for a period of royal ownership by the Tudors. It is traditionally believed to have been the scene of the murder of King Edward II in 1327.
In 1956 Berkeley Castle was opened to visitors and remains open today.
The Ripon Canal is located in North Yorkshire, England. It was built by the canal engineer William Jessop to link the city of Ripon with the navigable section of the River Ure at Oxclose Lock, from where boats could reach York and Hull. First used in 1773 and closed in 1956 consising of 3 locks over its 2.3 miles
In 1961, members of the Ripon Motor Boat Club formed the Ripon Canal Company Ltd, and gradually restored the canal up to Littlethorpe. Subsequently, the Ripon Canal Society spearheaded restoration, which was completed in 1996. It is now managed by the Canal & River Trust

“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.”

Within hours of seeing my first swallow return from Africa, they were down in the muddy puddles dipping dried grass into the wet mud for their nest building. That's dedication !!!
I travel into the light
Where the future shines, so bright
Down on me, down below
Where i feel its heavenly glow
Shining on my waiting skin
As into the light, i climb within
This year has been particularly smokey in southeast Utah. Fires belching smoke from California, Arizona, Colorado, and within Utah have kept us indoors several days. Last night as we drove in to Moab for groceries and pears to can, we noticed a fire crawling up the side of South Mountain, 3 miles from our house. It wasn't raging and the wind was fairly calm coming from the southwest which was a good sign. It was also burning up an alluvial fan that burned 7 years ago so there wasn't much fuel. There are still some smoke coming from the steep canyons, but no active fire is visible. I am thankful for my husband who has worked tirelessly the last couple of years to chop and mow a defensible space around our house amidst the dry, dry grasses and sagebrush. Sending out a global hug to all those who have been impacted by the disasters of flood, fire, earthquakes, and disease.
The Sphere Within Sphere, also known as Sfera con Sfera, is a series of sculptures created by Italian sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro depicting an enormous metal sphere with a cracked surface revealing an intricate interior with another cracked sphere inside.
Arnaldo Pomodoro says that the inner ball represents the Earth and outer ball represents Christianity. The design of the internal layers which look like the gears or cogwheels of a complex machine symbolizes the fragility and complexity of the world.
This sphere is at Trinity College in Dublin Ireland but it can be found at other prime location around the world. Originally created for the Vatican Church in the 1960s, also at the Headquarters of the UN in New York, The Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, USA, The Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, the Columbus Museum of Art in Columbus and the Tel Aviv University in Israel, to name a few.
In the garden this morning I found three insects stationed within one cubic foot of one another: a grasshopper, a bumblebee and a two-horned treehopper. All seemed prepared to wait out the impending rain.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

The trail is a cut between ridges, and still entirely in shadow as we trudge through patches of fine, deep sand on a January morning. As high points began illuminating here and there, I make my way up an incline of the Aztec sandstone, dunes compressed and cemented during the Jurassic with iron and limestone. The sand, of course, is still ubiquitous, every grain pried from the stone in protest. I angle towards an arch, which may be more of a fallen ceiling, the debris long ago crumbled, and washed and blown away, It imperfectly frames a more massive landform basking farther out in an open exposure. Its place in the scheme of things is more fortuitous, in the right place at the right time of day. So I set up and wait for my moment. Strange how time slows waiting for light to develop. The mind’s eye wants a balance, a perfection of the way the scenario should look. It believes it is only fair that the light within should equal the light without. But all things are not equal...we make our own light, content that there is contrast while we explore what we can attain. Through a lens I calculate decisions, made in a shutter click only I can hear. I look forward to the warmth inching down the wall in my little cove, where it’s chilly in the shade.

The black swan (Cygnus atratus) is a large waterbird, a species of swan which breeds mainly in the southeast and southwest regions of Australia. Within Australia, the black swan is nomadic, with erratic migration patterns dependent on climatic conditions. It is a large bird with black plumage and a red bill. It is a monogamous breeder, with both partners sharing incubation and cygnet-rearing duties.
The black swan was introduced to various countries as an ornamental bird in the 1800s, but has managed to escape and form stable populations. Described scientifically by English naturalist John Latham in 1790, the black swan was formerly placed into a monotypic genus, Chenopis. Black swans can be found singly, or in loose companies numbering into the hundreds or even thousands. It is a popular bird in zoological gardens and bird collections, and escapees are sometimes seen outside their natural range.
This bird is a regional symbol of both Western Australia, where it is native, and the English town of Dawlish, where it is an introduced species.
