Twelfth day, Wednesday March 25, 2020 in Barcelona

In order not to continue circulating inside a dark tunnel without lights, from now I am going to talk about beautiful things.

I like plants and I like animals, specially cats.

The lockdown has just been implemented here in New Zealand, 4 weeks, no contact with anyone outside our household. This is a photo I took yesterday while walking around Mount Maunganui before the track was closed.

The Candelabra is alive and well at the Smithsonian (as of Halloween 2018)


Many years ago (20? 30?) I saw a picture of the Candelabra cleaned and laid out prior to reassembly. Does anyone know if that picture is available anywhere online?

Hi everyone.

Yesterday was a hard day in Spain.

To support and encourage today those most affected, I upload some photos of orchids from the Medellín Flower Fair.

Medellin has a powerful flower industry and every August the farmers of the nearby villages parade with their best flowers arranged on chairs originally and now also on wooden frames in which they form circular motifs.

There is also an orchid contest at the Botanical Garden, where beauty overflows.

Aside classics such as "One Hundred Years of Solitude", what makes the pleasure of reading great is finding small jewels that connect with us in a unique way. In my case that small jewel is "Rituals" and its author is Cees Nooteboom. It is as if it were part of my life as it happens to me with some other book like "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert M. Pirsig or the "The Left Hand of Darkness" by Ursula K. Le Guin

Firmo,

Thanks for posting the orchid photos from the Medellin fair. My wife loves orchids and she maintains a small collection of mostly Phalaenopsis sp. but also has a few Cattleyas and Oncidiums.
