Feet in the water today on the Platte River in Colorado.

[dimalink]

Summer. It is sun. And theme of water too. It is so nice to swim in a river. So, it is so nice to walk near the river and water, in summer. Water, little river. So, it is interesting to know - is it deep. To swim. So, it is very interesting bridge. And it is a picture of pacman there. It is even more – a whole animation. So, it shows you a different pictures.

Bridge shows you a pictures! Digital bridge!

Pacman at the bridge, look!

Water is blue, it goes some boats, ships, runabout. Lot of things are in water. And I remember in game Vice City, I use a runabout too. And, that was really fun! Wow!

#おでかけ #花桃の里

ゴールデンウィーク前の日曜日、ひょんなことで休みが取れたので、長野県阿智村の花桃の里に行ってきました。

例年だとゴールデンウィーク頃が花桃の見頃ですが、今年はやっぱり早かったようです。ゴールデンウィーク前なのに、もう花の見頃は終わりがけだとのこと。天気も良いし、散る前のギリギリ滑り込みで出掛けることにしました。

いつもは平日休みなのでそれほど人混みに巻き込まれることもないわけで、今回も呑気にホイホイ中央道で向かっていたのですが……。

春の快晴の日曜日を甘く見ていました。

そうですよね、こんな天気も気候も良い休日なんて、そりゃ皆々様方家に籠もってるわけないですよね。ワッサワッサ家から出てきますよね。

……というわけで、花桃まつりの会場から最寄りの園原インターまで約3キロ、私たちが向かった時には延々と車の大行列ができている状���でした。

そしてその行列はインターからさらに伸び、中央道の恵那山トンネル内まで…………。なんと花桃まつり渋滞に、高速の上の恵那山トンネルの中で捕まることになるのでした。嘘でしょ？？と言いたいけれど、大型連休とかっていつもこんな状態になってるんですかね？普段連休中に出掛けることがないのでただただびっくりです。

しかし高速道路上のトンネルの中で停車するって結構スリルがありますね。暗闇の中、走行車線は渋滞で車が連なり、その横の追い越し車線を時速100キロ以上の車が突っ走っていく……。トンネルに響き渡るごうごうという走行音が恐怖を誘います。

そんなこんなで、多分まともにこの渋滞列にはまっていたら花桃祭りの会場に辿り着くまで何時間かかるの？というような状態だったので、先に昼神温泉の方に向かい、昼過ぎに花桃祭りの会場方面に向かうことにしました。

昼神温泉付近も花桃の木がたくさんあって、見頃だとかなり綺麗なんですが、標高の低いこちら側は先に見頃を迎えるので、もう4月末時点ではとっくに散ってしまっていました。

特にあてもなく、阿知川まわりをウロウロしてみます。花はないけれど、青空と新緑がきれい！

  Silt and Steers…

Out of state license plates now fill local parking spots. Virginia, California buzz by us as we start out on our hike along the river… Officially it is Autumn.  The trees have begun to warm in color. Hilltops boast golden hues. Alizarin too… Passed fields of mud. The flooding rains of summer had left their reminder. While the waters have receded, the land is still burdened. Heavy equipment dots…

@aburakhiaibrahim and his family of 28(15 of them being children) need help.

Like many people in Gaza, Ibrahim Mohammed and his family have lost more in a year than most people lose in a lifetime. Their home was bombed while the children were playing, injuring them, they no longer have access to education, Ibrahim lost his job and his car, family members have passed away... Ibrahim's elderly parents need operations as soon as possible, but they can't get them due to the lack of healthcare were they are. This isn't the only right they've been denied. Like I've mentioned already, the children have lost their right to education, and they don't have any drinking water. Another very important thing I should mention is that the youngest child in this family is a baby who's only a few months old. Winter is coming and they need financial aid, they are very low on funds. If you can, please donate. If you can't, then please share their campaign.

Samah Aburakhia‬‏ is Ibrahim's sister in Canada. Here are some more accounts owned by members of the family: @salamamohammedr and @moatazmohammedr. If you know of any others please let me know.

This campaign has been vetted by @gaza-evacuation-funds. Thank you for reading!

Watching Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron again as an adult is so great because not only do you appreciate the nostalgia and joy of it, the stunning 2D animation mixed with early 3D techonology and well written tight story with a main character that never speaks.

But also you appreciate that the plot relies on horses, despite not being typical talking horses in cartoons, being extremely intelligent to the point that they are aware of their captivity and exploitation. And it involves a hyper intelligent horse dismantling (or, at the very least significantly delaying) American colonialism's expansion into the west.

This horse also very likely killed many colonialists when they were either launched at high speeds from his back, kicked in the head or blown up in a train explosion.

Good for him.

Help me get the future

Donate something simple to renew our lives 🙏

Islam and his family were injured in a bombing, but now he is in good health and wants your help in building his future.

Material support can build a future of Islam and make him a successful person by completing his university specialization nursing

Dann: Irgendwo an der Brücke, zwischen schwer motorisierten Pendlern und nervösen Joggern mit Stirnlampen. Über weite Strecken sind die Fußwege und Plätze leer, aber an kritischen Punkten schlängelt und drängt man sich durch Menschen, nimmt viel zu viel mit von all den Stimmungen, die ungefiltert und ungebremst in die Nacht schwappen. (Auch: Vietnamesischer Kaffee. Auf den Tischen flackern Kerzen. Durch das Glas wirkt das bunte Treiben nah genug, um es wahrzunehmen, aber fern genug, sich nicht darin zu verstricken. Blicke in die schwer bedeckten Himmel. Warten auf Augenkontakt mit dem Vollmond.)
