Qu'est-ce que c'est qu'un "oid"?

Nicely recorded. Lutes are more polite than guitars.

On stage, I will take a chance. There has to be an element of daring in great music-making. These younger ones, they are too cautious. They take the music out of their pockets instead out of their hearts. And they know little about pedalling or tone production.

St James's Royal Park in London is probably the only place where you will find pelicans promenading together with people. For now, a heron diving for fish creating many #droplets with his #wings

A heron sat studiously on the bank of a water garden in Hyde Park. Gradually, he leaned forward and dived into the water. This image was captured at the moment of impact. The extensive water spray created, showered over the heron.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

La liberté de la presse ne peut être réelle que si elle est indépendante de l’État, des puissances d'argent et des influences étrangères; sinon, les médias deviennent vite des organes de #propagande pour les puissants... situation actuelle !

@twistopherrobin.bsky.social Hard to find anything as soft as rabbit fur.

It may seem like a little thing to some, but the little things in life mean the most. 🥰 Like the sweet, soft pets from mommy. ❤️

The most refreshing encounter I ever had was meeting a true Zen teacher. Listening to him was something I had rarely experienced: a person who wasn't trying to sell me anything, to convince me he was right. He explained his practice without the slightest need for me to agree with him. Remarkable.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Dia de pluja. Aigua a dojo.

Pluja intensa a Camprodon. Es veu la porta d'un hotel amb gent que mira com plou a bots i barrals i un home caminant sota un paraigües enfilant un carrer desert.

I had to drop everything and share this incredible public domain photo on Wikimedia Commons called rat_selfie_1:

"A rat in an operant conditioning chamber presses a button to take a selfie."

Windows on reflection
From my archives

#windowsOnwednesday #wednesdaywindows #windowswednesday #photography #reflection
A puddle between a wet footpath on the left and wet road on the right. A yellow line runs alongside the curb, broken only for a street drain. Windows from across the street are reflected upside down on the surface of the puddle. One window in arch shaped, two are square. Some fallen dead leaves are on the footpath, floating on the water and also under the water.
