Bambi would like to thank you Gina for your beautiful pictures of nature taken yesterday in the area of Sainte-Thérèse-de-la-Gatineau in the province of Québec.
You kindly said that you thought of your friend when you encountered a few deer : ). You also generously accepted that she shares your pictures with this blog’s readers. Bambi is grateful!
Well, this post will be brief. First, you can appreciate Gina’s pictures. Second, if you wish, you can listen to the L’Hymne à la Beauté du Monde [“The Anthem of the beauty of the world“], as intepreted by one of Bambi’s preferred French-Canadian singers, Ms. Luce Dufault. Written by Ms. Francesca Gagnon, this song is a tribute to the beauty of nature. It is a call to preserve the latter for the next generations. Below is an English translation, for your convenience.
To conclude this post, Bambi hopes you will enjoy it. Happy Rosh Hashana for those of you celebrating this event and Happy new week to everyone [yes, it is Monday again, in case you have not realized it yet :)]!
The Anthem to the Beauty of the World (https://lyricstranslate.com)
“Let’s not kill the beauty of the world
Let’s not kill the beauty of the world
Let’s not kill the beauty of the world
Each flower, each tree that we kill
Returns to kill us on its turn
Let’s not kill the beauty of the world
Let’s not kill the singing of the birds
Let’s not kill the blue of the day
Let’s not kill the beauty of the world
Let’s not kill the beauty of the world
Let’s not kill the beauty of the world
The last chance of the earth
It is now in the play
Let’s not kill the beauty of the world
Let’s make a big garden of the earth
For those coming after us
After us
Let’s not kill the beauty of the world
The last chance of the earth
It is now in the play
Let’s not kill the beauty of the world
Let’s make a big garden of the earth
For those coming after us
After us“.

Breathtaking photos
Thank you, Achim. Bambi is happy you like the pictures!
These types of nature scenes always remind me of inspiring lines from British poet Gerard Manley Hopkins:
What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
