As soft as …
Our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves

I must have flowers, always, and always. ~ Claude Monet
Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts. – Charles Dickens
Communication…
Human communication was revolutionized with the origin of speech approximately 500,000 BCE. Symbols were developed about 30,000 years ago. The imperfection of speech, which nonetheless allowed easier dissemination of ideas and eventually resulted in the creation of new forms of communications, improving both the range at which people could communicate and the longevity of the information. All of those inventions were based on the key concept of the symbol.
This week’s theme for Lens artists photo challenge: communication is quite interesting and thus I spend more time in reading about it than creating my own post.
The ability to communicate effectively with other individuals plays a critical role in the lives of all animals. Whether we are examining how moths attract a mate, ground squirrels convey information about nearby predators, or chimpanzees maintain positions in a dominance hierarchy, communication systems are involved.

Who needs to talk
Studying communication not only gives us insight into the inner worlds of animals, but also allows us to better answer important evolutionary questions. A thorough understanding of animal communication systems can also be critical for making effective decisions about conservation of threatened and endangered species. As an example, recent research has focused on understanding how human-generated noise (from cars, trains, etc) can impact communication in a variety of animals.
Don’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say infinitely when you mean very; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.~ C.S. Lewis

No time to waste…

It seems like after 178 years I am doing the same.

Moment of surprise
The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.
There are in life a few moments so beautiful,that even words are a sort of profanity. ~
Even in the familiar there can be surprise and wonder.~

Change your perspective!
What we do see depends mainly on what we look for. … In the same field the farmer will notice the crop, the geologists the fossils, botanists the flowers, artists the colouring, sportmen the cover for the game. Though we may all look at the same things, it does not all follow that we should see them ~

For this week’s Lens artist photo challenge
My break in July!
In July I was on official break from my routine life. I was in India, confined to home in a way and had very seldom opportunities to go out with camera. I had limited access to internet but able to share a post in mid of July “My vacation” .
After coming back I shared another post, “Getting back after vacation is difficult“. For lens artists photo challenge, here I am presenting more pictures from my vacation which I captured either in my own garden or walking around a lake.
Relax, Recharge and Reflect. Sometimes it’s OK to do nothing ~
