“Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you've lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that's good.”
― Elizabeth Edwards

With thanks to Maria for the partial credit for this theme, though the truth is she and her fabulous moderating team had already come up with this wonderful idea. Such an inspiring, fun and creative theme...😊

Otrobanda (meaning ‘the other side’) is on the opposite side of St. Anna Bay. This district was developed in the 18th century. The main shopping street in Otrobanda is the Breedestraat. You can find this street between Kura Hulanda and the Riffort. Kura Hulanda is one of the best restorations of Otrobanda. An entire section of Otrobanda’s dilapidated slum was transformed into a magnificently renovated historical district, the best example of Dutch colonial architecture in the Caribbean.

Life is different every day... sometimes good, sometimes "bad"... we are happy, we are sad...
There will always be things and even people who will fall through the cracks... We have to acknowledge this and accept it, there is nothing we can change in the past... in order to make the cracks smaller we should let the past teach us how to see the present.
I like to use the morning to set a goal for the day... the path to achieve it is the adventure. Some paths are easy, others not so much, but in the end they should all be meaningful.
God, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can and the Wisdom to know the difference.
Accepter que la vie ne soit pas justifiée, c'est accepter vraiment la vie.
Le paradigme perdu - Edgar Morin
While not many of us suffer from multiple personality disorder life never is only in black or white and people very rarely have only good or bad traits of character which is why we should always try to accept the people we love for who they really are and not try to convert them into something they are not.
Learn the alchemy

The moment you accept
what troubles you've been given,
The door will open.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!
Today is a green day at Color my World Daily and we are even closer to the blue day (and yes, I already have a blue picture) which is my favourite day of the week : Friday. I don’t know if my picture will be accepted for today’s theme since there is some major orange action going on. i have a green background so lets keep our fingers crossed. Lots of people ask me (I’m lying, no one asked me this ...) : and if it isn’t accepted, then what ? And my answer is : Nothing !! We will still celebrate the green color and this fake mandarin - egg. Have a great one my friends !! And remember: sometimes, the mandarins are not what they seem… (any Twin Peaks fans out there ??).
Mucho, mucho amor for you my friends !! Have a beautiful day !!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !

The least chipmunk is the smallest squirrel in the park ranging in length from less than seven inches to nine inches. They can be identified by five stripes on the back and sides of their small bodies. Two of the stripes extend onto the head. Only the chipmunk has stripes on its face. If there are no stripes, it is a golden-mantled ground squirrel.
This species of chipmunk has the largest range of habitat, living from the lowest elevations to timberline and above, primarily in rocky areas.
Least chipmunks are not true hibernators. They are in a state of torpor from which they occasionally arouse to feed on stored food.

I was told that the art institute came out to the balloon lift off in chase of winning the photo contest that goes along with it. 4 people were roaming the first, each with about 30 grand worth of cameras strapped to every inch of their bodies.
I knew I couldn't possibly let these outsiders run away with the prize - i had to put my game face on. In this case, the game face was patience.

LENS TEST: OM ZUIKO Auto-Zoom 1:4 f = 75-150mm

Still testing out this old OM lens, of which I read a good review some times ago, after stumbling upon a series of very beautiful images taken with it, which did not give the feeling of being the product of a ’70-’80 lens at all. I've found by chance a mint copy for peanuts at the used camera store I frequently visit in the neighborhood to kill time (and with it, my these-days-always-too-few bucks) and only after I realized we had one in our collection...! Doh~!
Anyway... I love OM lenses because (beside being a log time Oly user) they belong to a time when Olympus used to do things very well and with pride. And while they can not equate modern HD lenses for digital, almost all of them are top notch and still delivers quality images with a special character. The only regret is that they can’t be used directly on Pentax FF bodies, unless you change their mount with a Leitax one, with some slight modification: flange distance is almost identical, therefore too thin to accept a standard adapter ring. So you need one with extra refocusing glass inside, which unfortunately tend to bring a loss of quality, brightness, colors when you less expect it (none to be seen in these images, though).
You can find a good description of the lens here:
www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/olympuso...
Despite its age and its pioneering status (the first Oly zoom) it is reasonably sharp, with a good color bouquet (greens and red are vivid and with a slight yellow component). The quick blur transition when you move away from the center is, I think, to be attributed to the extra glass of the adapter, which also contribute unwanted flares in frontal strong light, and a bit of iridescent glare at the edges of back-lit outlines.
I'll delete large or animated icons. those awards without their own words, too. dear admins, if you don't accept that, please don't invite me next time.
I always appreciate your visit and invitations, but I really HATE huge icons and awards without comment.
Il ne sert à rien de regretter des choix passés. La vie est ainsi, elle est jalonnée d'erreurs, et sans doute ces erreurs ont-elles leur raison d'être, sans doute nous apportent-elles quelque chose malgré tout. Accepter. L'acceptation est un art de vivre.
He(It) is of no use to regret past choices. The life is so, it is marked out by errors, and doubtless these errors have their reason for being, doubtless they bring us something nevertheless. Accept. The acceptance is a lifestyle.

This is a photo story that fascinated me! I was photographing a great blue heron rookery (600mm lens), and suddenly a pair of red-tail hawks began circling the top of the tree where one GBH was standing guard. One hawk continually flew close to the guard heron, who then swelled up its chest, spread its huge wings, and screamed at the hawk. This happened numerous times. Finally the hawk flew back in carrying some dried weeds in its beak and landed on a nest directly below the fierce-looking heron. The hawk tucked its reeds into the nest and then settled in. The heron, seeming to accept the hawk's presence, relaxed its threatening posture and resumed its regular guard position!

Just as a side note, my employer recently got a Hungarian Viszla after his previous dog passed away. A few weeks ago they discovered she had serious problems with her shoulder. Their vet said they were limited to what they could do. As she has her whole life ahead of her, they investigated the Supervet, Noel Fitzpatrick, and joy of joys he has accepted her as a patient. Hopefully, she will be operated in mid September (for those not in the UK, please google him - he does such terrific work with pets.

Elizabeth, Electress Palatine and Queen of Bohemia (born Elizabeth of Scotland; 19 August 1596 – 13 February 1662) was the eldest daughter of James VI and I, King of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and Anne of Denmark. She was thus sister to King Charles I and cousin to King Frederick III of Denmark. With the demise of the Stuart dynasty in 1714, her direct descendants, the Hanoverian rulers, succeeded to the British throne.
Elizabeth was born at Falkland Palace, Fife.[1] At the time of her birth, her father was still the King of Scots only. She was named in honor of the Queen of England, in an attempt by her father to flatter the old queen, whose kingdom he hoped to inherit. During her early life in Scotland, Elizabeth's governess was the Countess of Kildare.[1] When Elizabeth was six years old, in 1603, Elizabeth I of England died and James succeeded to the thrones of England and Ireland. When she came to England, she was consigned to the care of Lord Harington, with whom she spent the years of her happy childhood at Combe Abbey in Warwickshire.
Part of the intent of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 was to kidnap the nine-year-old Elizabeth and put her onto the throne of England (and, presumably, Scotland) as a Catholic monarch, after assassinating her father and the Protestant English aristocracy.
Among Elizabeth's suitors was King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, but she was eventually betrothed to the Elector Palatine in 1612.
On 14 February 1613, she married Frederick V, then Elector of the Palatinate in Germany, and took up her place in the court at Heidelberg. Frederick was the leader of the association of Protestant princes in the Holy Roman Empire known as the Evangelical Union, and Elizabeth was married to him in an effort to increase James's ties to these princes. In 1619, Frederick was offered and accepted the crown of Bohemia. Elizabeth was crowned Queen of Bohemia on 7 November 1619, three days after her husband was crowned King of Bohemia.[2] Frederick's rule was extremely brief, and thus Elizabeth became known as the "Winter Queen." She was also sometimes called "Queen of Hearts" because of her popularity.
Driven into exile, the couple took up residence in The Hague, and Frederick died in 1632. Elizabeth remained in Holland even after her son, Charles I Louis, regained his father's electorship in 1648. Following the Restoration of the English and Scottish monarchies, she travelled to London to visit her nephew, Charles II, and died while there.
Elizabeth's youngest daughter, Sophia of Hanover, had in 1658 married the future Elector of Hanover. The Electress Sophia became the nearest Protestant relative to the English, Scottish and Irish crowns (later British crown). Under the English Act of Settlement, the succession was settled on Sophia and her issue, so that all monarchs of Great Britain from George I are descendants of Elizabeth.

I'm not going to be around for a while - we're off to Southern India for a couple of weeks. The trip was originally planned for February, then moved to March because of Covid and India's reluctance to accept visitors. It looks like an amazing place to visit and we hope to see some great sights. Wish us well - current temperatures are 30+C, with high humidity. I might melt.
