some rare quality of light that hold a body spellbound…

I smile at the wind,
I pick the hours,
like bubbles of light
bursting into laughter

I would like to take you for a walk in our sun.

~Franz Kafka, 1912.

We walk slowly into the mystery

Je marche à toi YouTube video by Chloé Sainte-Marie - Topic

j’ouvre mes bras à la croix des sommeils

mon corps est un dernier réseau de tics amoureux

avec à mes doigts les ficelles des souvenirs perdus

je n’attends pas à demain je t’attends

je n’attends pas la fin du monde je t’attends

~Gaston Miron, La Marche à l’amour

Nous deux nous tenant par la main
Nous nous croyons partout chez nous
Sous l’arbre doux sous le ciel noir
Dans la rue vide en plein soleil
Dans les yeux vagues de la foule
Auprès des sages et des fous

~Paul Éluard, Le Phénix

Un jour viendra où le soleil éteindra sur moi sa lumière et se lèvera pour faire de toi le nouveau roi. La vie sans être amoureux, c'est la destruction, c'est passer à côté de quelque chose d'essentiel comme le soleil ou la mer.

~Paul Éluard

Pour élever les nuages
Pour exalter le soleil
En hiver comme en été
Il faut être amoureux

~Paul Éluard / Poèmes retrouvés

You are a whole poem and I will always read you gently

There is poetry as soon as we realize that we possess nothing.

I’d like to go by climbing a birch tree,
And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more

“And when people cease to believe that there is
good and evil,
Only beauty will call to them and save them
So that they will know how to say:
this is true and that is false.”

Eurasian Blue Tit pecking open a poppy seed pod to get at the seeds. Common behaviour in that part of south Cheshire in the 1980s although apparently little documented. Around 40 years later an American naturalist observed American Goldfinches doing the same thing and suddenly it was interesting and unique behaviour.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Petals&Perches. A juvenile Eurasian Blue Tit pecking open a poppy seed pod in a south #Cheshire garden. More details in the alt text.

I live not in dreams but in contemplation of a reality that is perhaps the future.

The Qiantang river's tidal bore is the world's largest and most powerful of its kind. Sometimes two tides meet together forming a shape like a cross, that can become even more captivating at sunset.

A view of the wetlands There are grasses all throughout the water and mountains in the background.

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you.”
— Roald Dahl

till tomorrow🌾

By green investiture,
anoint the waiting rock;
a gentle tongue
spending itself in moss, and

mortal noise grows hushed to hear a broken water pray

The view captures tall trees with a carpet of bluebells for company. In the middle of the image a member of the public is walking focused on his mobile phone. The lesson, do not forget to look up!

I was in the process of framing a view and the gentleman captured walked across my lens. I decided to capture the image. Bluebells. Catch them when you can for they will not last!
