Today I stumbled across a new word, I came across abasourdi....meaning stunned or dumbfounded, it made me think about the English word absurd.
Sourd is the French word for deaf.
Do you ever stop to wonder about the joy of being able to see, or speak or hear, or even to be able to taste food.
Now that I enjoy taking photographs the joy of sight is even more special to me.

Below is a picture I took in early October, I liked the way the light plays on the leaves.
I was thinking today about how good the bread is here. When I cross the road to go to the boulangerie I must listen for the traffic coming around the bend, and so my ears become for a brief moment my eyes.

Enchanting picture! You have a way with the camera when it comes to light and your forest. I do notice how when one sense cannot be used - like eyes in pitch darkness outdoors, all other senses become very acute. It's like the total sensory perception has to be the same, so they all overcompensate for this one sense that's missing!
I know exactly what Bindu means because I'm quite short-sighted and if I happen to answer the phone without my glasses on, well I then having trouble hearing the person at the other end. We certainly take all our senses for granted though.
Do you often espy deer in the woods or forests you wander through, Blu?
Phew! Great Flickr set today. 'Fun' but also beautiful :)
I sometimes see the deer in the forest..but of course they do hunt and kill them too. They are sadly not that afraid and sometimes step right out on the tracks and look at you..then dash off.
