I am mist—
slipping between moments,
the breath gone quiet,
diffused at midair.

Birds Without Borders, this Rufous Hummingbird was found in the desert of SW New Mexico, maybe fueling up for a long migration taking her into some of at least 9 different countries, from Canada to South America.

A Cedar Waxwing 🪶 perched among the tangled branches of a multiflora rose, feasting on the bright red hips.

#birds #birding #BirdPhotography #naturePhotography #CedarWaxwing
When we were occupied the days were long and hollow. We rose with the gray light, tilled our fields beneath the watchtowers, and spoke softly so the wind could not carry the old prayers. The festivals were forbidden—no fires on the hills, no songs for the rivers. The druids’ stones were toppled, their names unspoken. Even the land seemed to sleep beneath the weight of Roman law. Praefectus called us to the green below the Great Oak. The old, gnarled tree spread wide on the ridge—roots older than memory, branches thick with the wisdom of age. Its bark still bore the ghost of the old runes, though the soldiers had scraped them once. We gathered there, thin and silent, and the Roman mounted a stone, sword at his hip. “People of the frontier,” he said, voice smooth as river clay, “you live in the peace of Rome. No hunger, no chaos, no fear. The Empire shall endure forever, and your children will praise it as you do today.” A few near the front nodded, murmuring “Yes, lord,” because such words were expected. The rest only watched with hollow eyes. Then the wind shifted—from the west, the direction of renewal, where the souls of the dead sail to rest. It came as a whisper through the oak’s leaves, speaking a language older than Rome. Out of that breath came a trembling of wings. A flock of waxwings fluttered down—gold and gray, hundreds of them—filling the branches above him. They plucked the acorns and passed them beak to beak, each taking one, each giving one, until the whole tree shimmered with motion and sharing. Someone began to hum a forbidden refrain, softly at first, then joined by others—the song of the circle unbroken. The Roman kept speaking, but his voice was only wind in the leaves. Our eyes had turned upward, following the birds, knowing the sign: the old ways were stirring, and the wheel was beginning to turn again.

A landscape oriented image of a beach at sunset. We’re on a Greek island, Lefkada, just after the sun has dropped from the sky. The black, volcanic, sand goes diagonally from above centre on the left to the bottom right corner. In the bottom right is a low rock, the gentle waves are just hitting it. In the low light it was a fairly long exposure so the sea appears milky and calm. To be fair it was quite calm. The top third is filled with sky that glows orange and red along the horizon. Also on the horizon, over on the left are a line of three small rock islands. The balance out the single rock on the foreshore.

❄️☀️❄️
Eine verschneite Winterlandschaft mit welligen, schneebedeckten Hügeln im Vordergrund, die sanfte Schatten werfen. Auf der Kuppe eines Hügels steht ein einzelner, frostbedeckter Baum mit weißen, verzweigten Ästen, der sich gegen einen blauen Himmel mit lockeren Wolken abhebt, was eine ruhige, sonnige Atmosphäre erzeugt.

Tristesse.
Doch von der Ferne Kinderlachen.
Nebel über der Landschaft. Vorne liegt Baumaterial in der Wiese. Kahle Bäume und Sträucher.
