Now I know where Wordsworth got his inspiration for "Daffodils".

Last year, @Eidon composed his track "Daffodils" and I recited Wordsworth's poem to it. Fugit tempus.

A very interesting article from the PvdA, a marxist political party in Belgium.
"Hoe de kolonisatie van Congo de grote Belgische patroons verrijkte"

(How Congo's colonization enriched Belgium's large companies)

It is in Dutch, I have pasted a DeepL translation here:

It was cloudy so the light was not great but this turned out quite well.

Lichen, not moss, but nevertheless

And this is nice too. I love blossoms but budding leaves are underrated

For a fleeting moment there was a break in the clouds and a glimpse of blue, just at the right time for these plum #blossoms.

Hey, fun fact. I bet you didn't know this, but...

... It's the weekend! Yes, things are good.

17 year-old Juliane Koepcke was sucked out of an airplane in 1971 after it was struck by a bolt of lightning. She fell 2 miles to the ground, strapped to her seat and survived after she endured 10 days in the Amazon Jungle.

She was the lone survivor of that plane crash and that the plane was "assembled entirely from spare parts of other planes"

ことしより春しりそむる桜花ちるといふことはならはさらなん

oh young cherry tree--
this year you have learned to dress
in spring's fresh array
but may you never learn to
let your soft petals scatter

(Kokinshu #49, by Ki no Tsurayuki, On seeing cherry blossoms blooming for the first time on a tree in someone's garden.)

Aren't they beautiful, those fast-fading blossoms?

I went flat on my back so that I could take a few pictures of blossoms against blue sky.
