Gentle and Wild

Gentle and Wild

Ocean so blue and calm. Gentle and still for recreation and fun. Rock you in the rolling waves. Invites to sit and listen to the sound of silence. Only broken by a screaming seagull. A boat passing by. Fishermen out to harvest the rich gifts of the giant blue. Smell the salty breeze, filling your lungs. Fill you with life itself.

There it stands, proud in on a tiny rock. The Väcker lighthouse. Tall to be seen and give ample warning. Lights the way in the night. Green and red. Be sure to choose wisely. Proud to show its rusty scars. Scars from salt splashing winds.

Roaring and wild. Incited by the wind. The howling strong wind. Bashing the waves against everything in its way. Try to stand, and wind will push you down. Splash saltwater in your face. Winds howling, drowns the seagulls screams. Pray that all has found a safe harbor. Give and take. Be sure to show respect.

Just a few days between the pictures. Ha de Gött!

Hot

Hot

In times you are distant and cold. Just stands there like a black orb. Then I open you up. Light you up, turn you on. Set you on fire. Get you flaming hot. Your passion burn my eyes. My skin.

I inhale your every scent. Your flaming smoking hot gases. Gently place the flesh to your burn. It frizzles as it meets your glowing bars. Together we spice things up. Feeding my desire. I love you my little Barbie Que.

Inspired by John Malone and my Aussie friends who has the cute nickname, Barbie for this fantastic cooking device. The grill. Ha de Gött!

Grumpy

Grumpy

The grumpy old mountain ogre. With his stone faced stare. Don’t disturb his peaceful waters. Thinking of the better days, way back when. Discipline and respect when he roamed the world. The stuff he has seen. Doesn’t say much, just a rumble now and then.

One day Mother Earth will let him loose again.

Hope you see him too. Ha de Gött!

Roe deer

Roe deer

I took these pictures through the window one morning last week. Just a few minutes before the first Teams meeting. The roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) is also know as European roe or just roe. It can be found all over Europe all the way to Caucasus. In the pictures is a female and two skids but I never got them together as one was running back and forth. Playing I think. Something I never seen before.

Cute, but not always so popular as they host ticks, eat mother-in-laws tulips and scratch against the new planted fruit trees. Ha de Gött!

White wagtail

White wagtail

The White wagtail (Motacilla alba) has its name from the constant wagging of its tail. It’s a migrating bird that, like rich retired people, fly to the Mediterranean during winter. Usually come back in April. According to my father, who was a farmer, it should arrive April 4th. If not, the harvest would be late and poor. Likes open country near water. National bird of Latvia. Ha de Gött!

Grief

Grief

Sneaks up 
like a bully
sudden slap
in the neck
think you 
are okay
safe on the 
other side
wet heavy
woolen blanket
gasping for air
a way out
ice pulling 
feet away
band aid time
stop the pain

Fish fry

Fish fry

Fish fry shoal looking for food under the jetty. No adult fish to show them the ropes. With nothing more than what’s coded in their DNA they have to find food. Steer away from bigger fish and birds trying to eat them. If the grow up someone might catch them and fry them.

Ha de Gött!

Seal

Seal

Meet the seal (Phoca vitulina). Last Saturday I got the boat in the water and today went for a short tour bringing the camera. I was hoping for some birds but this little girl, I think it is a she, turned up. I’ve seen her many times before but she is shy. So, every time I get the camera up she dives or stays out of reach. This time I had the zoom lens 55-250 mm. Ha de Gött!
