Latin Name: Polygonatum multiflorum - Solomon's Seal
This is part of a spring floral series, showing some of the colours and plants in our garden in April/May/June.
A relative of the Lily of the Valley, its flowers greatly resemble those of that plant in shape and fragrance.
With its graceful arching branches, exquisite white flowers shaped like little bells and tipped with yellow or green, the Solomon's Seal plant is just the thing for the garden to usher in each new spring season.
The name originates from a mark where the stem rises out of the plant's rhizome that can often look like two interlocked triangles, the legendary 'Star of David' and the symbol of Solomon.
The stems can grow up to four feet high and look extremely attractive with their blue green leaves, each over six inches in length. These leaves will turn golden yellow in autumn, and at that time the plant will have blue berries.

The little furnace sleeps,
no smoke, no fire to tend.
Breath enters the earth,
returns through the leaves—
nothing carried, nothing sent.
Tightness comes, loosens,
light settles without asking.
Even the mantra dissolves
into the body’s listening.
No work today—
just sitting
while the bell remembers us.

Another portrait of Michela from our Ferragosto evening at the Aquaroof. This time, no sunglasses: the warm light falls directly on her face, while Rome remains quietly in the background.
I wanted a simple, natural portrait, with the blue of her blouse almost continuing into the summer sky. The Roman sunset took care of the lighting — fortunately, without sending me an invoice.

Un altro ritratto di Michela dalla nostra serata di Ferragosto all’Aquaroof. Questa volta senza occhiali da sole: la luce calda arriva direttamente sul viso, mentre Roma rimane discreta sullo sfondo.
Volevo un ritratto semplice e naturale, con l’azzurro della blusa che sembra quasi continuare nel cielo estivo. All’illuminazione ha pensato il tramonto romano — fortunatamente senza mandarmi la fattura.

Latin Name: Centranthus ruber - Red Valerian
A lovely rich pink Valerian growing in an area of our tiered section of garden leading down to our garden river walkway.
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis, Caprifoliaceae) is a perennial flowering herb plant native to Europe and Asia. In the summer when the mature plant may have a height of 1.5 metres (5 ft), it bears sweetly scented pink or white flowers that attract many fly species, especially hoverflies of the genus Eristalis. It is consumed as food by the larvae of some Lepidoptera (butterfly and moth) species, including the Grey Pug and Hummingbird Hawk Moth.
Crude extract of valerian root may have sedative and anxiolytic effects, and is commonly sold in dietary supplement capsules to promote sleep.

Though this was a day without crowds, my goal was to see nobody at Redwood National, and aside from the parking lot, mission accomplished. Instead of heading into the populated Fern Canyon, I headed further north, found a creek and decide to explore upstream. I could only get about 20 minutes in before it was impassable with downed trees so I headed back. It was the beginning of a fun adventure which involved maneuvering around two elk herds, seeing a nice sunset and crossing a marsh/bog after dark that took me in waist deep. The drive home could be described as squishy.

Gemeiner Lein (Linum usitatissimum), auch Saat-Lein oder Flachs genannt, ist eine alte Kulturpflanze, die zur Faser- (Faserlein) und zur Ölgewinnung (Öllein, Leinsamen, Leinöl) angebaut wird. Er ist eine Art aus der Gattung Lein (Linum) in der Familie der Leingewächse (Linaceae) und die einzige Lein-Art, deren Anbau eine wirtschaftliche Bedeutung hat. Es gibt mehrere Convarietäten sowie etliche Sorten. In der Praxis wird nach der Hauptverwendung Faserlein und Öllein unterschieden.
Das Artepitheton usitatissimum bedeutet in Latein sehr nützlich und bezieht sich auf die vielfältige Verwendbarkeit.„Flachs“ leitet sich von „flechten“ ab und bezieht sich auf die Verarbeitung.

Flax (also known as common flax or linseed), with the binomial name Linum usitatissimum, is a member of the genus Linum in the family Linaceae. It is a food and fiber crop that is grown in cooler regions of the world. The textiles made from flax are known in the West as linen, and traditionally used for bed sheets, underclothes and table linen. The oil is known as linseed oil. In addition to referring to the plant itself, the word "flax" may refer to the unspun fibers of the flax plant. The plant species is known only as a cultivated plant, and appears to have been domesticated just once from the wild species Linum bienne, called pale flax.

Back in the 70's we only had one good car/truck to use and I had a clunker 70 Chevy that had an ungodly amount of miles on it for the time. It had more than a few breakdowns and I'd often be without transportation while awaiting parts or someone to help me get the old 70 back running. If my parents were off somewhere I'd be sometimes stuck with a bicycle to get around on in summer or snowmobile in winter. This extra west nearly snuck by me on one of my stuck home with a bicycle days and I barely was able to grab the camera and rush out the door for this quick shot of Extra 413 west at Trout Lake. He was flying up the hill west of town with 413, 702 and 4415 leading only 22 cars. I was always happy to catch one of the EMD cab kit Geeps leading and was really glad I caught 413 leading as a year later it hit a gravel truck in Minnesota and was retired.
July 2, 1979.

Latin Name: Anas platyrhynchos - Mallard
Daisy, our pet rescued duck had a Spring visitor again this year. Obviously named Donald by us, he used to come and sit with her every day last year, and when he arrived again this year it was obvious that it was the same drake as the greeting between them was wonderful to see and hear. He is very protective of her and immediately saw off any other drake that dared to land in our garden in the vicinity of Daisy. This was one of his "look-out" spots, on the top of the side gate to our garden at the side of the property where Daisy is free to wander during the day and where her night hutch is situated. Other look-out positions were on top of the aviary roof where Jacko, our pet rescued Jackdaw is, also in the same side garden; on top of the worshop at the side of the back garden; or on top of the property roof! If another drake did land in the side garden a skirmish took place and .... well, let's just say that the interloper never stayed there very long before flying off in a hurry, often leaving behind some feathers!! He would arrive early in the morning and only leave after we put Daisy to bed in the hutch each night, often sitting outside the hutch for a while, softly talking to her. They made a very nice couple and I hope he is still around next year for his daily visits to keep her company during the Spring. This year she kept us well supplied with 102 eggs!!

Light Play
“Without the play of light, form is inert and space becomes static; I would like to think that when I design buildings light is one of my first considerations”, remarked leoh Ming Pei in a conversation with writer Gero von Boehm. (1).
The 101 year old Chinese-American modernist architect I. M. Pei, endured a roasting from critics before the giant glass structure opened in 1989, with up to 90 percent of Parisians said to be against the project at one point. « I received many angry glances in the streets of Paris," Pei later said, confessing that "after the Louvre I thought no project would be too difficult ».(2).
« By copying the 51-degree angle of the Great Pyramid at Giza, Pei reproduced a famous icon and symbolically reinforced the Grand Louvre’s pursuit of high culture. At the same time he modernized the antique symbol with transparent glass. Providing a counterpoint to the iconic main pyramid, Pei also added an inverse pyramid and surrounded them with grass and water, intensifying the Egyptian metaphors of life and death. However, from a functional point of view, Pei sought a solution in which he could create an optically minimal volume in the main courtyard for the new entrance, respecting the existing buildings. During the daytime, the sides of the central pyramid reflect the sky. The surrounding water creates a reflecting pool, underlining Pei’s desire to create a light atmosphere and to dematerialize the Egyptian symbol. Even from the underground entrance, visitors can enjoy the view to the surrounding historical Louvre facades. The filigree construction on the underside has turned the icon into a high-tech element, and at night the pyramid appears like an urban jewel in the city of Paris. » (1).
Interestingly, Pei was in the news earlier this week (17 October 2018) when he became the victim of a celebrity death hoax claiming that the 101 year old architect had passed away. Happily, this is not the case and Pei is still very much alive (3).
Happy Window Wednesday!

"I've always been an ironic dreamer, unfaithful to my inner promises.
Like a complete outsider, a casual observer of whom I thought I was,
I've always enjoyed watching my daydreams go down in defeat.
I was never convinced of what I believed in.
I filled my hands with sand, called it gold, and opened them up to let it slide through.
Words were my only truth.
When the right words were said, all was done; the rest was the sand that had always been."
Fernando Pessoa (The Book of Disquiet)

Its nice to be able to play with the patty pans without the actual cooking. Although I am tempted to make some cakes now. I love all the bright colours.

Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. Oceanville NJ.
The bald eagle, with its snowy-feathered (not bald) head and white tail, is the proud national bird symbol of the United States—yet the bird was nearly wiped out there. For many decades, bald eagles were hunted for sport and for the "protection" of fishing grounds. Pesticides like DDT also wreaked havoc on eagles and other birds. These chemicals collect in fish, which make up most of the eagle's diet. They weaken the bird's eggshells and severely limited their ability to reproduce. Since DDT use was heavily restricted in 1972, eagle numbers have rebounded significantly and have been aided by reintroduction programs. The result is a wildlife success story—the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has upgraded the birds from endangered to least concern.
