Needed a hike after the past weeks of heat and #ClimateCrises in the news. Oxley provides that place of #Solace and @Wonder that we all need. We are early in #Migration, but are seeing an amazing number of #Warblers already. I wonder if the spike in migration is related to the #Fires in Canada = purely conjecture on my part, not even at hypothesis rank.
This is one of my favorites, a #NortherParula. Their call reminds me of a small #VibroSeis running through a sweep. They can be very gregarious if you are lucky. and talk to them softly.
Other sightings today included
#WilsonsWarbler
#YellowWarbler
#LeastFlycatcher
#AmericanRedstart
along with the usual suspects.

… The game has 38 possible endings; which one you get will depend on your social engineering skills and how you handle Chloe’s various relationships throughout her journey. There are 31 characters in this game, three of whom are dateable.”
I’m fucking sold!

#SilentSunday. After the horrendous news cycle of the past week it is easy to get sucked into a cycle of doom. We all need a place of #Solace and #Serenity where we can sit and #Calm the inner turmoil. This is my place - a place to watch #Waterfowl, hear the thousands of bird calls, and the whisper of wind in the budding trees. There is new growth in the forest as it awakens. The warblers are returning from their wintering grounds, adding their voices to the air. The Gnatcatchers are building their first nests, planning for new life, and the Hawks are sitting on eggs that will soon hatch. Life goes on despite the turmoil, and hatred that is consuming the country. I will let those go for this day.

"Transitioning from synchronous to event-driven APIs modernizes the enterprise and unlocks real-time events and information," Hari Rangarajan from #Solace, with a historical and comprehensive overview, check it out on Foojay :foojay: Today:

#Solace is a decent film that could have been a pretty good one. WIth a cast like Anthony Hopkins, Colin Farrell et al, it should have not been quite so clunky, but left in the hands of a fairly greenhorn director (Brazilian Afonso Poyart, who did little before or since) probably was not a good sign.
Give me the hush
of a pillowed January morning,
snug as a fur-robed ermine
in its muffled den.
With another Christmas stored
in photographs
cookies in the freezer
boxes in the attic
and an extra pound or two on me,
December’s pressures
melt from my shoulders
like butter in hot buttered rum.
Cocooned in fleece,
I sink into my tufted mushroom chair
with a mug of hot chocolate
and a book I won’t finish till spring.

#Marsh in #Winter. This, again is at #OxleyNatureCenter, my prime focus area to help restore wetland systems, and improve people’s understanding of the importance of #Wetlands, #Floodplains, #Grasslands and #LowlandForests with #HydricSoils, and the importance of access to #Nature. We all need the #Solace of #Nature to help maintain balance. These systems are perfect habitats for overwintering #Birds. There are hundreds of birds in this photo, all hidden in the habitat. The habitat also includes #Waterfowl, #Hawks, #Woodpeckers, #Beaver, and #Muskrats along with #Deer, #Racoons, and #Coyotes. A walk here is like being in Nirvana with the lush sounds, sights and smells.

Another great announcement from @scottsports: In addition to their Lumen MTB, they are also offering their new #Solace in road and gravel configs powered by the amazing lightweight motor from TQ #ebike

We all need the #Peace and #SolaceInNature that hikes in #Nature and at #WildlifeSanctuaries offer. I hike regularly seeking #Solitude and #Solace. After 36 years in #HigherEd, I have become a bit #Apanthropic in my old age. These are from an interaction between #HoodedMergansers at #OxleyNatureCenter. They graced me by allowing my presence for several minutes (and too many photos) as they went through their courting dance. These #Ducks depend on #Wetlands for survival.

#OTD Anna Seward, #English #Romantic #Poet, is born.
She was often called the Swan of Lichfield.
Anna wrote a #Poem called "To the #Poppy," which ends with these #Words:
"#Kind #Dreams #Oblivious from thy #Juice proceed,
Thou #Flimsy, #Showy, #Melancholy #Weed."
- - - -
The poppy is an #August #Birth #Flower.
It is a #Symbol of #Remembrance.
In #Floriography, or the #Language of #Flowers, the Poppy represents #Comfort & #Solace.

令和四年最後の満月です。寝床に就く前に暫しの間、屋上に出て、師走の寒空の下、天頂の満月を見上げる。
あゝ、何と心に染み入ることであろう。
さすがに閉塞成冬の候であり、冷たく凛として澄み切った夜空に満月が煌々として、星々も瞬き、いかにも寒々と感じるが、それがまたひとしお美しく感じます。
わたくしの心も、そうありたいと願います。

Testing out more of the game I'm making with my team, Solace State! #SteamDeck has a resolution of 16:10 but our game of 150,000+ words with text in 3D placements have been designed for 16:9. So we're seeing what sort of resolution challenges this might have!
