/ Calypso’s Quest by Karin Taylor / from the Beach Stuff Series / this is mixed media collaged piece / i have used acrylics and guache, watercolours, cut out paper / to form the sails and the hull This song is about the ship Calypso, which was bought by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and converted to an oceanographic ship. Cousteau wanted to understand “The silent world” better, in order to protect it. “To live on the land we must learn from the sea” – Cousteau was the first to do research on pollution and its effects on the sea and received many honors for his accomplishments. John Denver cared deeply about nature and this song was a tribute to both Calypso and her captain and their valuable work. (thanks, Marthe – Amsterdam, Netherlands) Calypso” Lyrics / To sail on a dream, on a crystal clear ocean, / To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm; / To work in the service of life and the living / In search of the answers to questions unknown; / To be part of the movement and part of the growing, / Part of beginning to understand . . . Aye, Calypso, the places you’ve been to, / The things that you’ve shown us, / The stories you tell; / Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit, / The men who have served you / So long and so well. Like the dolphin who guides you, / You bring us beside you / To light up the darkness and show us the way; / For, though we are strangers in your silent world, / To live on the land we must learn from the sea; / To be true as the tide and free as the wind-swell, / Joyful and loving in letting it be . . . / John Denver / Album: Windsong

They say life is a carnival. Which emotional car do you favor? Can you control the journey? Can you switch cars? Does any emotional state have a value any more than any another? Are we doomed to be trapped in these emoti-cars forever?

Featured in Endangered Plants – May 29, 2009 / Top 10 Placement in Challenge in Endangered Plants – May 6, 2009 Very Interesting Plant / The Calypso orchid (Calypso bulbosa), also known as the fairy slipper or Venus’s slipper, is a small pink, purple, pinkish-purple, or red flower accented with white lower lip, darker purple spottings, and yellow beard. A perennial member of the orchid family (Orchidaceae), it is found in undisturbed northern montane forests. It is the only species currently classified in the genus Calypso, which takes its name from the Greek signifying concealment, as they tend to favor sheltered areas on conifer forest floors. Their tiny purple blooms, typically about 10 cm in height, can be a pleasant sporadic sight on hiking trails from late March onwards, though in the more northerly parts of their range they do not bloom until May and June. These come to full bloom in nearly 20 years. Its range is circumpolar, and includes all the western states and most of the most northerly states of the United States. Furthermore Scandinavia (northern Sweden and Finland), northern part of European Russia and eastern Siberia and Canada – see external links for map. Two varieties are found in the USA, var. americana and var. occidentalis, which are found respectively east and west of the Sierra Nevada ranges. Although the calypso orchid’s distribution is wide, it is very susceptible to disturbance, and is therefore classified as threatened or endangered in several states, and in Sweden and Finland as well. It is easily disturbed and does not transplant well, owing to its mycorrhizal dependence on specific soil fungi. The bulbs have been used as a food source by North American native peoples, though this is not recommended now because the sites for these plants are now rare and easily destroyed. The Thompson Indians of British Columbia used it as a treatment for epilepsy. The Calypso Orchid relies on “pollination by deception”, as it attracts insects which it does not nourish and which eventually begin to learn not to revisit it. Avoiding such recognition may account for some of the small variation in the flower’s appearance. (Wikipedia.org) Photographed in Waterton National Park, Alberta, Canada / / / Laminated Print

This cave, known worldwide as Calypso’s Cave, is situated close to Xaghra. Tradition has it that Gozo is the island of Ogygia, described in Homer’s famous poem “The Odysseus”, on which the beautiful nymph Calypso kept Odysseus as a ‘prisoner of love’ for seven lony years. Calypso promised immortality to Odysseus if he would stay with her, but Odysseus rejected her and escaped to his faithful wife Penelope. One has a magnificent view of the sea and the sandy beach of “Ramla l-Hamra”, which is the Gozo’s finest bathing beach. From the cave visitors glimpse the remains of an underwater fortification built by the Knights in the mid-18th century. It was built to stop the invading boats on a line in the range of two huge fugasses. These fugasses were nothing other than stones. However they were carefully constructed in a way that their deadly load, in case of ignition would fall on boats which approached the underwater wall. Shot with a Canon S3 IS. Handheld.

This beauty was growing in a low wet area at Hunter’s Point Park in Copper Harbor, Michigan USA. / A member of the Orchid Family, it is also known as Fairy Slipper and Venus’s Slipper. / A single pink to purple flower nods at the tip of its stem. The plant is 3 to 8 inches high and blooms in late spring to early summer in swamps and wet woods. It is considered a “threatened species” / It is classified in the genus Calypso, which takes its name from the Greek signifying concealment, as they tend to favor sheltered areas on conifer forest floors. This also makes them very easy to overlook, I almost stepped on the ones in this shot!

Immortal Goddess Calypso gets Odysseus an axe to build a raft so he can leave her island and return to Ithaka and his beloved wife Penelope. ~~~~~~~~~ Inspired by Suzanne Vegas song Calypso: My name is Calypso / And I have lived alone / I live on an island / And I waken to the dawn / A long time ago / I watched him struggle with the sea / I knew that he was drowning / And I brought him into me / Now today / Come morning light / He sails away / After one last night / I let him go. My garden overflows / Thick and wild and hidden / Is the sweetness there that grows / My hair it blows long / As I sing into the wind / I tell of nights / Where I could taste the salt on his skin / Salt of the waves / And of tears / And though he pulled away / I kept him here for seven years / I let him go In the dawn he sails away / To be gone forever more / And the waves will take him in again / But he’ll know their ways now / I will stand upon the shore / With a clean heart / And my song in the wind The sand will sting my feet / And the sky will burn / It’s a lonely time ahead / I do not ask him to return ~~~~~~~~~~ / From HOMERS Odyssey: / [...] Odysseus was washed ashore on the island of Calypso, who saved him from Poseidon’s anger… / He has spent seven years on Calypso’s island and she fell so much in love with him… After all she is persuaded to release him by the messenger god Hermes, who has been sent by Zeus. Odysseus built a raft and sailed away forever…
