And majestically the day awoke.

From the last shoot in my Liz Lewitt blue dress with trans black tights. Here showing my crazy Giaro 19cm wedge heels. The dress ripped during the shoot and was thrown out after as it was about 25 years old and the latex was dead.
I'm waiting for the return of summer and the wonderful days when I can just sit and relax in my garden...🌞🌷💋
Today is International Women’s Day. 💜
At Flickr + SmugMug + ThisWeekinPhoto, we are committed to ensuring that we are continually thinking about equity and inclusion: in our day jobs, in our personal lives, and in the lives of our customers.
The faces you see in today's International Women's Day blog post
are just a few of the awesome women in our company. They're amazing Support Heroes and Specialists, they're QA Analysts, members of our legal, engineering, marketing, and People teams.
We ask that you take a moment to read a heartfelt story on our blog from our Chief People Officer, Jill Valenzuela Schapiro, about this year's IWD2024 theme, Inspire Inclusion, and what it means to her and for our company. 🙌
February is Black History Month and each week we’re highlighting the work of some of the amazing Black photographers on Flickr. This week, we invite you to explore an album curated by the talented photographer, Felicia Renne Tolbert, and read the story behind the dance.
View the album here.
"Photography serves as my artistic lens through which I capture the essence of individuals showcasing their unique gifts to the world. The fusion of my lifelong passions for dance and photography allows me to freeze moments in time, preserving the beauty of human expression. These images are not just snapshots; they are a testament to the synergy between movement and stillness.”

Priapus son aof Dionysus and Aphrodite. The goddess it is said, had yielded to the embraces of Dionysus, but during his expedition to India, she became faithless to him, and lived with Adonis. On Dionysus' return from India, she indeed went to meet him, but soon left him again, and went to Lampsacus on the Hellespont, to give birth to the child of the god. But Hera, dissatisfied with her conduct, touched her, and, by her magic power, caused Aphrodite to give birth to a child of extreme ugliness, and with unusually large genitals. According to other myths, Priapus was son of Dionysus and a Naiad.
He was regarded as the promoter of fertility both of the vegetation and of all animals connected with an agricultural life, and in this capacity he was worshipped as the protector of flocks of sheep and goats, of bees, the vine, all
garden-produce, and even of fishing.
Priapus' images of the god of fertility were mass produced in Roman times and considered to be symbols of good luck.

Hi all!
Usually during these December weeks, I try to find a Xmas tree so that I can take some photos/videos in one my season appropriate dresses. 🎄
But these last few weeks of school have been a bit more hectic.. and I'm visiting my family tomorrow, so yeah: that Xmas dress + tree photo will have to wait. 😛
So, here's a photo of me in my red leather skirt with red heels. Still festive enough for the seasons, right? 😉
I hope everyone has a lovely time with their loved ones during these holidays! ❤️
This Hubble image features a massive cluster of brightly glowing galaxies, first identified as Abell 3192. Like all galaxy clusters, this one is suffused with hot gas that emits powerful X-rays, and it is enveloped in a halo of invisible dark matter. All this unseen material – not to mention the many galaxies visible in this image – comprises such a huge amount of mass that the galaxy cluster noticeably curves spacetime around it, making it into a gravitational lens. Smaller galaxies behind the cluster appear distorted into long, warped arcs around the cluster’s edges.
The galaxy cluster is in the constellation Eridanus, but the question of its distance from Earth is a more complicated one. Abell 3192 was originally documented in the 1989 update of the Abell catalog of galaxy clusters that was first published in 1958. At that time, Abell 3192 was thought to comprise a single cluster of galaxies, concentrated at a single distance. However, further research revealed something surprising: the cluster’s mass seemed to be densest at two distinct points rather than one.
It was subsequently shown that the original Abell cluster is actually comprised of two independent galaxy clusters – a foreground group around 2.3 billion light-years from Earth, and another group at the greater distance of about 5.4 billion light-years from our planet. The more distant galaxy cluster, included in the Massive Cluster Survey as MCS J0358.8-2955, is central in this image. The two galaxy groups are thought to have masses equivalent to around 30 trillion and 120 trillion times the mass of the Sun, respectively. Both of the two largest galaxies at the center of this image are part of MCS J0358.8-2955; the smaller galaxies you see here, however, are a mixture of the two groups within Abell 3192.

Just yesterday I found out about this curiosity. Scientists estimate that in the early days of life on Earth the day lasted only about 6 hours. Today we know that every year the day lengthens by 2 microseconds. But there is no need to worry. In 100 years, a day will be about 2 milliseconds longer than today, that is, 1/500 of a second, much less than the duration of a blink!
Justo ayer me enteré de esta curiosidad. Los científicos estiman que en los primeros tiempos de la vida de la Tierra el día duraba sólo unas 6 horas. Hoy se sabe que cada año el día se alarga 2 microsegundos. Pero no hay que preocuparse. Dentro de 100 años, un día tendrá unos 2 milisegundos más que hoy, es decir 1/500 de un segundo, mucho menos de lo que dura un parpadeo!
