Our neighbor's crape myrtle tree is beginning to blossom. Unfortunately the white crape myrtle that my wife and I have has yet to blossom this season.
On New Year's Day we celebrate new beginnings...but time continues to march on regardless of our plans.

Our daily challenge.
Beginning 2nd October. The beginning of my journey home!
Please check out my photography page guys! www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.340096379398726.77982.3... Soon to be uploaded. My first couple shoot!
The image above is a 2000 X 1250 pixel scan from an original slide. Anything that is not from an original Kodachrome™ is noted as such, including later digital images and a limited number of scanned prints. The vast majority of Kodachrome™ shots were scanned during the period 2007-2014. As of 2023, there remains thousands of scanned, and unscanned images yet to go.
Early uploads were done in a 1024 X 683 pixel size. Since then, technology and software has improved, so I am beginning to re-upload in the much larger 2000 X 1250 pixel size, with the eventual goal of having only that format.
The images in the various galleries come mostly from my slide collection, gathered over the past 40+ years. They are a combination of my own photographs and others acquired over those years through trading, purchasing, and attending conventions.
This photostream was created in 2017 for the sole purpose of holding my slide collection as an archive, and has had over 10 million image views (to 2023)

REMARKS:
The beginning of my first bobbin of "Macaw" merino from The Arts At Eagle's Find.
This wool is super bright. I love it. I'm hoping to finally, finally, FINALLY manage a 3 ply fingering weight. I keep on way undershooting or overshooting it.

Just think for a second how it really starts always .. You are scared of telling the person that you love him/her just cause you don't know if that person loves you back .. And then at times relationships ends cause of misunderstandings which is really sad .. But do you ever think at one moment you really love that relationship when you had it .. And whatever you did was good for you .. And you were all in love .. And at that time thats exactly what you wanted .. So if a good relationship ends don't be sad about it remember the part when you were happy in that relationship :) ..
The note in the picture was written by Hal's sister, Elizabeth so she could hold it up the window of the office where her father was holding a meeting. They (and we) had been waiting for this news for a long time!
I struggled with cropping this, because I did the edit on the whole pic, and loved some of the water effects that came out, but the lily pads were so bright that it really detracted from the overall look, so I put the emphasis back on the lotus, where it belonged.
A decorator once told me that you can't make everything in a room stand out and look beautiful, because then the special things no longer are focal points. I watched as she pickied the less pretty of two fabrics, because she wanted the chair it was going on to just fade into the background. It's a lesson I find comes in handy with photography, as well.
One of the only new buds in the pond, this flower was just beginning as most of the others were ending their life cycles. It almost seems to be bowing out of respect. Soon, it too would be going back into the pond from whence it came.
The bible says that a man's end is better than his beginning, and the day of death better than the day of birth. We've all heard it said that you can't take it with you. Well, that's not entirely true. We can't take THINGS with us, but we go out of this realm with a profoundly deeper life experience than what we had coming in, and hopefully, we have grown beautiful, and strong of character. Those things remain intact as we go to meet our Maker. Those things with which we end mean much more to Him than what we came into the world with, which was only what He gave us to start with. It's what we do with it that makes us who we are and shows our worth.
I wish I could have gone back and photographed this same bud as it opened and became a magnificent flower. Even nature itself displays the unfolding of the truth. This bud is pretty, but before it died, the water lily that burst forth would have been so much more lovely, so much more glorious, and so much more brave, that it would die at the height of its glory, and return to where it came from as others of its kind had done and will continue to do, becoming part of the future of life itself. Are we not more precious to God than a flower?
Silver ore was discovered in this range of mountains in 1864, but no important development took place until 1869 when mines were opened and the town of Pioche was founded. Pioche soon became the scene of a wild rush of prospectors and fortune seekers. It gained a reputation in the 1870s for tough gunmen and bitter lawsuits. Miners had retrieved over five million dollars in ore by 1872, but by 1900, Pioche was nearly a ghost town.
Designated as the seat of Lincoln County in 1871, Pioche survived hard times as a supply and government center for a vast area. Beginning in 1937, Pioche enjoyed two decades of profitable lead-zinc mining.
