Or, at least dwell a bit before words are spoken
It's not always easy tho
Words keep coming and sometimes you don't even know why you are saying them
Until you realize what is going on
And then you are stuck
Until you aren't
Somehow things must be clarified
You can't live with words spoken
Especially if you realize they came out the wrong way
You must pray that the words don't make everlasting scars
They can, you know
But I think that if they leave everlasting scars, well then they are said in a really bad manner
Or they hit a soar spot in you and then
You need to deal with it
Life sure is both a balance and a challenge sometimes
I think I will stay with my friend Squirr for a while to learn how to hibernate....
Dum-dee-dei :D
The peony is a flowering plant in the genus Paeonia, the only genus in the family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, Europe and Western North America. Scientists differ on the number of species that can be distinguished ranging from 25 to 40,although the current consensus is 33 known species.[The relationships between the species need to be further clarified

I wanted to extend the pattern of my small origami-tessellation "Arrow" (the upper one), but the grid I used wasn't big enough….. So I had to adjust the pattern and "Star-Row" ( the one on the button) is the result.
And I had to make a bigger grid, still folding on that one ;-))
Here is the raw version of the beginning.
The good thing about my 'mistake', is the fact that I can show better now (I hope) how moving the centre of a pattern, gives the possibility for creating a new pattern, although related.
I posted "Flower-Star" in the first comment box. You can see there that the little star is in the middle of the pattern and that in "Star-Row" there is a different centre.
I do hope it clarifies even more what my idea is than yesterday.
"Arrow":
folded from a hexagon 15x15cm, 'Anett-Paper', grid 1:32
"Star-Row:
folded from a hexagon 33x33cm, Anett-Paper', grid 1:64

Today's image was taken this late this afternoon in the countryside near to the village of Berkswell. It is a view of a raised pathway that forms the beginning of a public walkway between the village and the open countryside.
The photo was taken using the app ExposerGL on my iPhone 6.
First I used the app Snapseed to edit the picture. I cropped the image, then applied the Tonal Contrast preset. I decreased the highlights to help bring out the extra detail in the clouds. I also boosted the saturation and ambiance. Next I used the app Mextures to apply the formula called Baja Sunrise by Justin Halbert. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Clarify Preset and the Vibrant FX. I then added the Stucco texture and the Shadow II frame.

Job perk: He named a lot of birds.
This birb could be called the Yabba Dabba Doo bird because that's what he likes to yell.
I want to clarify something in this photo, this is a method of lens reversed, I attach a reversed 50mm lens to one 85mm prime lens. In This set-up, the 85mm lens is called the primary lens and the lens reversed the secondary lens. "This does not understand by the camera" but still makes the picture, that gives a reading of 105mm when in fact the experiment is crazy but goes well.
(Español)
Quiero aclarar que esta fotografia es llamada "método de lente invertido" que se hace adjunto un objetivo de 50mm invertido, este se une a un objetivo focal de 85mm. En esta configuración, el lente de 85mm es el que llama al lente primario y a la vez el primario revierte el lente secundaria. "Esto no es entendido por la cámara", pero de todas formas hace la imagen, que le da una lectura de 105 mm cuando en realidad el experimento es una locura, pero va bien.
This is a cropped image in color of the same photo below (Autumn Monochrome). Just to clarify that there isn't a man-made structure there at the right, as some members think. You can see that the shape was made by the foliage and our imagination.
On/Off - Thank you very much for your visit and taking the time to comment or fave! Much appreciated!
A b/w version I liked of an earlier post of Canmore's Three Sisters reflected in Policemen's Creek.
There is some confusion between the mono's. To clarify by definition the difference between monochrome (which this is) and monotones:
"A monochrome is an image that contains only one colour, but may have different shades of that colour. Most commonly shades of grey ranging from black to white, but it can be any colour.
A monotone is an image which only has one tone - i.e. no tonal gradation as you get in a monochrome. No "shades" of whatever colour it is in."
Thanks for your visit! Always appreciated!
This is for color fans. The silhouettes of trees filtering the spectacular colors of the sunset is a view that only happens in late fall, winter and early spring. It's a view I'm going to miss. Taken from the living room window in the house we're preparing to sell in Connecticut.
Please press "L" for the best view. And yes the color is pretty much SOOC. Just did crop and clarify.

In der Champagne im Marne Tal findet man im Nationalpark "Montagne de Reims" einen Buchenwald mit unzähligen Süntelbuchen - die weltweit größte Ansammlung, ca. 8oo Stück -. "fau" ist die altfranzösische Bezeichnung für "Buche". Von außen sehen sie aus wie unterschiedliche große grüne Hügel, im Inneren sieht man ein weit verzeigtes Gerüst mit vielen krummen und knorrigen Ästen und Zweigen, welche bis zum Boden reichen. Die Herkunft ist bisher nicht sicher geklärt.
In the "Montagne de Reims" national park in Champagne in the Marne valley you will find a beech forest with countless Süntelbuchen - the world's largest collection, approx. 800 pieces -. "fau" is the old French term for "beech". From the outside they look like different sized green hills, inside you can see a widely branched framework with many crooked and gnarled branches and twigs reaching to the ground. The origin has not yet been clarified with certainty.

2 out of 3 of my most important guys in my life
Gathered in one of my wonderful spots on earth
Sharing this place with Mark
Enjoying that he loves it too
Yes
A dream coming through
A dream came true
A dream will end
So now reality remains
Things need to be done
Arrangements need to be clarified
Exciting, isn't it
How to survive this
Well
I have no clue
One step at the time
I guess
And we will see
There is at least enough love here, from here to the moon and back
A detail of my corkscrew, I made this image with some extension tubes, it's so fun experiment with them! :)
* as its too abstract I clarify that its the gear of the corkscrew...!
* como es demasiado abstracto aclaro que es el engranaje del sacacorchos...!
Same blossom as in the previous pink blossom shots but between cloud cover and looking much warmer. This time I shot wide ( that much is obvious but how wide I'm not sure because I mainly shot between f/1.8 and f/5.6 ) looking at this it could easily have been f/2...not sure. I did take 196 shots in the short time I was out but that included the Forget me not and dandelion shots too. I did wish to clarify that that the non keepers I mentioned were not necessarily totally unusable but many that i simply didn't particularly like as although I tried my best to compose for a composition that I liked, nature in the form of the wind often rearranged my shots for me lol...this is one such. As I let things go cool before deleting the bokeh top left started to grow on me...
Thank you so much for all your faves and comments and as usual I am trying my best to keep up but I am still unwell and any forays out are very short...Sue

March 2017: Phalacrocorax carbo - Great Cormorant and wood bird
The first is well known and has long been persecuted by humans because of his fishing skills ... the second is not listed anywhere ... except in my imagination ...
March 2017: my first photo equipment, my first attempts at animal photos and yet ... ... one of my fondest memories ... The secrets of a Great Cormorant with the Wood Bird ...
I want to clarify: this photo is made without special effects and without taking any chemical substance or narcotic product that has altered my imagination, only the magic of the moment has acted ....... ;-))))
This species was everywhere during the few days I spent in Prince Edward County for the spring migration. This image was secured on a late day sweep of the National Wildlife Area, and on the edge of the cliffs overlooking Lake Ontario.
I should have clarified: the blue is not the sky but the Lake. The bird was down low enough that I caught the Lake in the background from the cliff. I tried to move around to have the bird wholly against the blue but it was not as patient as I was hoping for.
As is common in migration season, and especially in a fallout, birds mingled with each other, and the Sparrows were always a mixed gang. Vesper Sparrows were a big deal for me to see, and Savannah Sparrows sat in the young trees along Song Sparrows.
Some to separate
Pasture from pasture in order
To clarify the prairie,
Others to surround the farm,
Keeping the world
Out and the herd in.
Between the barbs designed
To bloom at intervals
Measuring the span of a hand,
Redwing blackbirds scolded
Both nations of grass
The fence divided.
The posts that stood
Where they’d been driven
Knee-deep in limestone
Had begun to lean
Like men forced to march
Into the wind.
And where oak saplings
Had had the audacity to grow,
They’d had no choice
But to swallow the wire,
Remembering via rings
The anniversary of that first summer
They sensed the wire tapping
Their bodies, then began,
Tentatively, to accept it,
To take it in, feeling
The wire grow taut
In the grip of their bark,
Until they began to believe
They needed it
In order to stand.

Leica M8, Voigtlaender 35/1.4 (image has been cropped). Henry Moore's bronze sculpture Double Oval (1966) seen through the gap of his bronze Two Piece Reclining Figure: Points (1969). It is perhaps helpful to clarify that I am not saying that, here, the topography is "imaginary" and outside it is not. Whatever we humans do and wherever we go, we always subject what is out there to our imagination. The point about Henry Moore's art is not that it is imaginary, but that it is an imagination that is different.

I now present a new series on a subject that has always fascinated me. Surprising compositions in the everyday, a special view of buildings, lines made abstract. I hope the intention comes across. The name of the new series is Lines and planes.
This image might be a little hard to read: in the corner of this building the opposite wall is reflected as a pair of triangles. Does this clarify the image or is it just adding one more item that is hard to read?

It’s all about the telegraph pole, naturally (and we were facing East-ish)…
This is another take on the very abstract image I published a short while ago flic.kr/p/2o5hz8C. They both use the same technique and are taken moments apart. At least in this version, you can get more of an idea of what is going on (see the description in the other if you are interested). It's an in-camera three-image multiple-exposure where all the images are wobblies (ICMs).
Again I have sharpened and haze adjusted and clarified and saturated, but not as much as last time - just enough to make it interesting I hope.
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Wednesday!

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him
Matthew 5:17-19 KJV
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22:36-40
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. Romans 3:31
(Just to clarify, no one is justified by keeping the law, we are saved by grace through faith and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. Yeshua did not come to destroy the law or the prophets, but to fulfil--establish in completeness. Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. Romans 3:31
There is much more to all this. Isaiah 8:20
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
Revelation 19:10
For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
He that hath an ear

Matthew 25:1-13
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Zechariah 4:12-14
And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
Jude 1:19-21
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Yeah, that's how I feel when someone ask me if I released my much awaited HDR UNLEASHED book.
But, I can finally announce now that by early July, this year 2012, it will be available to the public. My techniques will be finally revealed to everyone who will get the book.
During my absence from flickr, I fought so many demons in my life. I even forgot what I did before with my HDRs. But now, I got the courage to face all of you and finish what I said I will. With my KK Touch back in my system, it shall be written, it shall be done. I thank you all for being too patient and understanding.
It will not be a showcase of my HDR pictures alone. It will contain the recipe for my way of doing the Kris Kros HDRs.
So, in about 1 to 2 months from now, you can pre-order my book. And to those who asked about whether or not I will sign the books, yes, I will when ordered directly from me.

This is actually made up of 3 pictures courtesy of my new friend Rafael aka maesk. I was just browsing his photostream and my eyes got caught with these 3 beautiful pictures shot in South Africa. I asked him if I can work on his pictures and he was so kind to agree with the collaboration. I am so grateful to him that I was able to work on them.
Here are Rafael's originals if you want to take a look.

Since Orkanen is built on land owned by the city of Malmö and is very visible to Malmö residents, near the central station, much thought has been given to the appearance of the building. The hurricane's facade consists of light green glass against a dark green background. The glass causes the green shade to vary from dark green from the front to more light green and shimmering with increased viewing angle. The building has large dark tinted windows. The roof is flat with two box-shaped superstructures in gray sheet metal. The facade is decorated with words and phrases in different languages. They have been developed by the director of the university's Department of Art, Culture and Communication (K3). The idea is that the individual should stop to observe and reflect.
The words that decorate the facade are divided into three parts. The first part is quotes taken from Malmö-born poet Hjalmar Gullberg's poem "Only the real words" and from Malmö rapper Timbuktu's song "Ett brev". The second part reflects Malmö University's international connection, with the words "knowledge" and "freedom" in different languages. The third part is several words such as "listen think talk", "integrity self-esteem pride", "joy seriousness", "empathy perspective" and "brotherhood sisterhood fellow human". The letters, which are 30 centimeters high, are made of stainless steel and have been placed inside the glass. All words and phrases on the facade change expression according to the hours of the day, weather and own movements.
The building is supposed to be able to be used by another tenant if the college does not want to stay after 20 years. Therefore, the Orkanen is simple in its structure, the internal surfaces are large and airy. The ceiling height varies between 3, 6 and 8 metres. The largest premises at Orkanen are the auditorium for 400 people, lecture hall for 200 people, study hall for 100 people and sports hall for 100 people. Orkanen actually consists of six buildings that are built together with five courtyards in between. The building has five floors. It is 150 meters long and 60 meters wide.
Orkanen won the city planning award[clarify] in 2006, when it has become a symbol of Malmö University (then Malmö University) and also of the city's transformation.

Most are herbaceous perennial plants 0.25–1 metre (1–3 ft) tall, but some are woody shrubs 0.25–3.5 metres (1–11 ft) tall. They have compound, deeply lobed leaves and large, often fragrant flowers, in colors ranging from purple and pink to red, white or yellow, in late spring and early summer. The flowers have a short blooming season, usually only 7–10 days.
Today I finally got to meet up with someone I consider to be one of Somerset's finest Photographers Artur Szczeszek. I arranged that we should meet at Glastonbury Tor (down the road from the festival) a place I had not visited. The problem on arriving, as the sun was setting, was that all of Somerset and their friends had come to join us! Great place and great company, hope to visit again perhaps with out the County next time!
Glastonbury Tor is a hill near Glastonbury in the English county of Somerset, topped by the roofless St Michael's Tower, a Grade I listed building. The whole site is managed by the National Trust, and has been designated a scheduled monument.
The conical hill of clay and Blue Lias rises from the Somerset Levels. It was formed when surrounding softer deposits were eroded, leaving the hard cap of sandstone exposed. The slopes of the hill are terraced, but the method by which they were formed remains unexplained. Artefacts from human visitation have been found, dating from the Iron Age to Roman eras.
Several buildings were constructed on the summit during the Saxon and early medieval periods; they have been interpreted as an early church and monks' hermitage. The head of a wheel cross dating from the 10th or 11th century has been recovered. The original wooden church was destroyed by an earthquake in 1275, and the stone Church of St Michael built on the site in the 14th century. Its tower remains, although it has been restored and partially rebuilt several times. Archaeological excavations during the 20th century sought to clarify the background of the monument and church, but some aspects of their history remain unexplained. The Tor is mentioned in Celtic mythology, particularly in myths linked to King Arthur, and has a number of other enduring mythological and spiritual associations (Wiki)

Puisque tout le monde semble bien aimer ce magnifique pic, je vais me risquer à en publier un autre. Celle-ci est en vol. Je tiens à préciser, puisque certaines personnes me le demandent, j'utilise DxO Pure Raw 4 et Adobe Lightroom Classic.
Une prise qui a presque débordé du cadre de mon viseur tellement le Grand Pic était trop rapproché de moi, J'ai beaucoup de difficulté à le suivre dans le viseur. J'en suis encore à mes balbutiements avec le nouveau boîtier Canon R5 II et je ne l'ai pas encore complètement apprivoisé comme mon Canon R5.
Home, Saint-Hippolyte, Quebec, Canada.
Since everyone seems to like this magnificent woodpecker, I'm going to risk posting another one. This one is in flight. I want to clarify, since some people ask me, I use DxO Pure Raw 4 and Adobe Lightroom Classic.
A shot that almost overflowed the frame of my viewfinder because the Pileated Woodpecker was so close to me. I ad a hard time keeping it in the frame for a few seconds. I'm still in my infancy with the new Canon R5 II camera, and I haven't completely tamed it like my Canon R5 yet.
The peony is a flowering plant in the genus Paeonia, the only genus in the family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, Europe and Western North America. Scientists differ on the number of species that can be distinguished ranging from 25 to 40,although the current consensus is 33 known species.[The relationships between the species need to be further clarified
Hidden almost out of sight, just off the Huron Street bridge in downtown Stratford, Ontario lies the Shakespearean Gardens. This well manicured English garden offers a formal setting with boxwood hedges,stone walkways, benches and gazebo yet comes alive with the brilliant colour of an amazing array of flowers, herbs, shrubs and trees.
The views from the garden are just as impressive with the historic Perth County Courthouse to one side and the gently flowing Avon River on the other side. Stone steps and a pathway along the Avon River lead you underneath the old Huron Street bridge and towards the Shakespeare Festival.
#MINIMALGalleryPhotoContest
Here my contribution for this awesome contest. I enjoyed too much letting my imagination fly. This place is very important for me, and these doors means the growth of a person who I really appreciate. Thanks for letting me be part of the dream.
Obviously I have to clarify I'm not competing for the prizes, just hope this can inspire you guys <3

Kestrel perched on a sculpture at Yorkshire Sculpture Park earlier this week. We walked around a corner and there he was! He didn't stay long and this was the only shot I took. I think this is a male - hopefully my Flickr friends will clarify for me!
Thank you for stopping by to look at my images. Any faves and comments are always very much appreciated.
Have a great day Flickr friends.
From a beautiful walk along a rugged landscape made up of old quarries, cliffs and scree. Those green hills in the frame are overgrown spoil heaps. It was another walk from the short walks in the Brecon Beacons guide we followed which led us down a wrong path. Luckily we walked into a mum with her two boys along the way and she was following the same track, had the same guide with her. She clarified where we went wrong but also agreed that it was pretty poorly described. Without her we might still be wandering around those hills :-)
