Blog

Welcome!

I’m a photographer who writes to paraphrase Austin Kleon. Therefore, my blog combines posts on books (reading, writing, musing over), lots of photos (all taken by me, unless otherwise stated), culture and arts in general, some astronomy and space (I’m a Science-Fiction fan), and cats as cats rule the internet.

Squirrel with Daisy

In youth from rock to rock I went, 
From hill to hill, in discontent 
Of pleasure high and turbulent, 
               Most pleas’d when most uneasy;
But now my own delights I make,
My thirst at every rill can slake, 
And gladly Nature’s love partake 
               Of thee, sweet Daisy! 


                             2


When soothed a while by milder airs, 
Thee Winter in the garland wears 
That thinly shades his few grey hairs;
               Spring cannot shun thee;
Whole summer fields are thine by right;
And Autumn, melancholy Wight! 
Doth in thy crimson head delight
               When rains are on thee. 


In shoals and bands, a morrice train, 
Thou greet’st the Traveller in the lane;
If welcome once thou count’st it gain;
               Thou art not daunted, 
Nor car’st if thou be set at naught;
And oft alone in nooks remote 
We meet thee, like a pleasant thought, 
               When such are wanted. 


                             3


Be Violets in their secret mews
The flowers the wanton Zephyrs chuse;
Proud be the Rose, with rains and dews
               Her head impearling;
Thou liv’st with less ambitious aim,
Yet hast not gone without thy fame;
Thou art indeed by many a claim
               The Poet’s darling. 


If to a rock from rains he fly, 
Or, some bright day of April sky, 
Imprison’d by hot sunshine lie 
               Near the green holly, 
And wearily at length should fare;
He need but look about, and there 
Thou art! a Friend at hand, to scare
               His melancholy. 


                             4


A hundred times, by rock or bower,
Ere thus I have lain couch’d an hour, 
Have I derived from thy sweet power
               Some apprehension;
Some steady love; some brief delight;
Some memory that had taken flight;
Some chime of fancy wrong or right;
               Or stray invention. 


If stately passions in me burn, 
And one chance look to Thee should turn, 
I drink out of an humbler urn 
               A lowlier pleasure;
The homely sympathy that heeds 
The common life, our nature breeds;
A wisdom fitted to the needs 
               Of hearts at leisure. 


                             5


When, smitten by the morning ray, 
I see thee rise alert and gay,
Then, cheerful Flower! my spirits play
               With kindred motion:
At dusk, I’ve seldom mark’d thee press
The ground, as if in thankfulness 
Without some feeling, more or less,
               Of true devotion. 


And all day long I number yet, 
All seasons through another debt, 
Which I wherever thou art met, 
               To thee am owing;
An instinct call it, a blind sense;
A happy, genial influence, 
Coming one knows not how nor whence,
               Nor whither going. 


                             6


Child of the Year! that round dost run
Thy course, bold lover of the sun, 
And cheerful when the day’s begun 
               As morning Leveret, 
Thou long the Poet’s praise shalt gain:
Thou wilt be more belov’d by men
In times to come; thou not in vain 
               Art Nature’s Favorite.


William Wordsworth (1770 – 1850) was an English Romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped to launch the Romantic Age in English literature with their joint publication Lyrical Ballads (1798).

Kangaroo Island Kangaroos (Macropus fuliginosus fuliginosus), Kangaroo Island, South Australia
Kangaroo Island Kangaroos (Macropus fuliginosus fuliginosus), Kangaroo Island, South Australia

Two young kangaroos sparring at sunset. This is how they learn to fight, first with their mother and then with other young males. As they grow, sparring with other males helps them establish their position within the mob. With experience, the sparring sessions become longer and more intense.

Kangaroos use their sharp claws, strong back legs, and muscular tails —capable of supporting their entire body weight — to deliver powerful kicks that could disembowel a human.

However, these youngsters were only playing and started grooming each other shortly afterward.

Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus)
Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), Kangaroo Island, South Australia

The cutest koala ❤️. I was lucky to get this shot as the handsome boy went to sleep directly afterward; koalas sleep most of the time (18 to 20 hours a day) because they need all their energy to digest the poisonous eucalyptus leaves they eat.

Although koalas seem like they would be easy to photograph since they don’t move around much, this is only true if you’re okay with capturing images of sleeping koalas. If you’re hoping to find a more active koala, be prepared for a lot of patience.

Red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris)
Red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), Lidingö (Sweden)

A red squirrel from last year. The gardening season has started and I’m mostly out in the garden and not indoors editing photos this time of the year.

Crocodile

This is a crocodile photo I edited for the upcoming World Crocodile Day. I like using these special days to raise awareness about animals and, to be honest, it also makes writing a photo caption easier.

And a squirrel because I love squirrels ❤️ as you know.

Storm Clouds

The line-storm clouds fly tattered and swift,  
  The road is forlorn all day,  
Where a myriad snowy quartz stones lift,  
  And the hoof-prints vanish away.  
The roadside flowers, too wet for the bee,
  Expend their bloom in vain.  
Come over the hills and far with me,  
  And be my love in the rain.  

The birds have less to say for themselves  
  In the wood-world’s torn despair
Than now these numberless years the elves,  
  Although they are no less there:  
All song of the woods is crushed like some  
  Wild, easily shattered rose.  
Come, be my love in the wet woods; come,
  Where the boughs rain when it blows.  

There is the gale to urge behind  
  And bruit our singing down,  
And the shallow waters aflutter with wind  
  From which to gather your gown.     
What matter if we go clear to the west,  
  And come not through dry-shod?  
For wilding brooch shall wet your breast  
  The rain-fresh goldenrod.  

Oh, never this whelming east wind swells    
  But it seems like the sea’s return  
To the ancient lands where it left the shells  
  Before the age of the fern;  
And it seems like the time when after doubt  
  Our love came back amain.       
Oh, come forth into the storm and rout  
  And be my love in the rain.


Robert Frost 
(1874 – 1963) was an American poet and winner of four Pulitzer Prizes, most known for The Road Not Taken (a poem often read during graduation ceremonies), Fire and IceMending WallNothing Gold Can Stay, and Home Burial.

 On a night of whirling snow     
When every twig and star is dead     
There is a house where I can go      
And knock and enter and be fed


With fire and wine; and as we grumble  
Winter ceases on the panes.  
The outer heights of darkness tumble  
Down and in upon our brains,


And sitting there so bitter-bright 
We build a season of our own— 
Of cynic ice and sudden white 
Blasts of understanding blown.

Mark Van Doren (1894 – 1972) was an American poet, writer and critic.

Craft Is the Visible Edge of Art

Autumn Birch

The difference between art and craft lies not in the tools you hold in your hands, but in the mental set that guides them. For the artisan, craft is an end in itself. For you, the artist, craft is the vehicle for expressing your vision. Craft is the visible edge of art.

David Bayles (b. 1952) is an American photographer and author.

Photo by Claudio Testa on Unsplash edited by me

In the very early morning 
Long before Dawn time 
I lay down in the paddock 
And listened to the cold song of the grass. 
Between my fingers the green blades, 
And the green blades pressed against my body. 
“Who is she leaning so heavily upon me?” 
Sang the grass. 
“Why does she weep on my bosom,
Mingling her tears with the tears of my mystic lover?
Foolish little earth child! 
It is not yet time. 
One day I shall open my bosom 
And you shall slip in—but not weeping. 
Then in the early morning 
Long before Dawn time 
Your lover will lie in the paddock. 
Between his fingers the green blades 
And the green blades pressed against his body . . . 
My song shall not sound cold to him 
In my deep wave he will find the wave of your hair 
In my strong sweet perfume, the perfume of your kisses. 
Long and long he will lie there . . . 
Laughing—not weeping.”

Spring, a photo of a wood anemone

  With a difference — Hamlet.


Again the bloom, the northward flight, 
The fount freed at its silver height, 
And down the deep woods to the lowest, 
The fragrant shadows scarred with light. 


O inescapable joy of spring! 
For thee the world shall leap and sing;
But by her darkened door thou goest 
Forever as a spectral thing.

Louise Imogen Guiney (1861 – 1920) was an American poet, essayist and editor.
