Contemplating the horse race tip sheet ...at the annual Keeneland horse track spring races. Ah, which one is most likely to win? On the other hand, which one can my betting dollar win the most? Which one is the best balance between risk and gain? Who is going to win?

<b>Technical note</b>: This is a great lens. With the aperture wide open, this telephoto lens completely separated the subject from a dense crowd of spectators in the stands. The background crowd is rendered as colorful bokeh. I am using a Nikkor FTZ2 adapter. — Contemplating the horse race tip sheet Credit: sniggie

Weeping cherry grove Japanese <i><a href="https://www.britannica.com/art/haiku" rel="noreferrer nofollow">haiku</a></i>
follows five-seven-five rule
Unless translated...

... from an original Japanese language <i>haiku</i> poem of seventeen syllables that is often about nature and a season, such as cherry blossoms and spring, into a foreign language that has to describe and try to explain what the Japanese are talking about. Haiku originally was a witty introduction to the rest of the prose before it was separated and became autonomous. Oops, I went past the limit, didn't I? Did I at least get the three-line form down? 😉

Orange you glad I didn't say banana? I would call this a creamsicle tulip.

Tulips around these parts mean Easter. Paler pastel colored tulips were not in vogue this year. Strong colors were.

Our Lady Justice was created by Augustus Caesar Yes, THAT <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/ancient-rome/emperor-augustus" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Augustus Caesar</a>.

With sword grasped in her right hand and a weight balance in her left, Lady Justice is what the British called her. Here, she is positioned above an American county courthouse. Before she was Lady Justice, she was Justitia, the Roman goddess of justice. We can thank Emporer Augustus for coming up with her and elevating her to a god. All Roman emperors loved to announce their love of justice to Roman citizens. Rome considered itself the apex of civilization, a society that dispensed just law and order. Justitia epitomized clearheaded thinking and fairness of the state in matters of legal judgment.

Before goddess Justitia, the concept of a goddess of justice came from ancient Egypt. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Justice" rel="noreferrer nofollow"> Wikipedia explains</a>, &quot;The personification of justice balancing the scales dates back to their goddess Maat, and later Isis, of ancient Egypt.&quot;

Country colts of Kentucky These horses may not be colts but mature thoroughbreds. I just wanted alliteration. If this scene were in Maryland, I'd probably write, &quot;Mature mares of Maryland,&quot; even if there were stallions in the herd, or &quot;Haleʻiwa horses of Hawaii,&quot; even if there were mules mixed in.

Hey, it's my photo and I'll do with it what I want to.😉
