Some items which gave earlier generations light, warmth, and comfort. They are antique lamp (patent date on gauge Oct. 28, 1890), vintage
quilt, vintage watch, vintage green pen, and antique books.
Their world now confined within white fences, a few horses take comfort in a refurbished barn. As we age, our lives narrow and we often find close comfort in routine and familiar friends.
I times of discomfort, fear, sadness, we gather, huddle and hug? We look for some kind of reassurance? Tears badly hidden, arms longing, feeling the need for one another more than ever.
An IMPORTANT, all too often forgotten,ingredient in photography, more IMPORTANT than technical prowess, a photo without emotion is ... just a 'picture'?
Yes, that can even be expressed with and by flowers. I do NOT talk to flowers... but I will gladly listen, with my eyes.
thanx for your visit, M, (*_*)

"I have realized; it is during the times I am far outside my element that I experience myself the most. That I see and feel who I really am, the most! I think that's what a comet is like, you see, a comet is born in the outer realms of the universe! But it's only when it ventures too close to our sun or to other stars that it releases the blazing "tail" behind it and shoots brazen through the heavens! And meteors become sucked into our atmosphere before they burst like firecrackers and realize that they're shooting stars! That's why I enjoy taking myself out of my own element, my own comfort zone, and hurling myself out into the unknown. Because it's during those scary moments, those unsure steps taken, that I am able to see that I'm like a comet hitting a new atmosphere: suddenly I illuminate magnificently and fire dusts begin to fall off of me! I discover a smile I didn't know I had, I uncover a feeling that I didn't know existed in me... I see myself. I'm a shooting star. A meteor shower. But I'm not going to die out. I guess I'm more like a comet then. I'm just going to keep on coming back.”

Argh! im so behind with my project (again) but I'm back on track with tons of ideas to keep me motivated.
I went to London yesterday for a day trip with Julia and Lewis, it was a 3 hour journey by bus and to my misery we didnt even get to sit by each other because it was so packed. so it was 3 hours of sitting uncomfortably next to a stranger hoping that you don't make a silly noise or embarrass yourself so they don't judge you the entire way.
I sat quietly for 2 hours, listening to my music and just thinking about the day ahead. Towards the end of the journey, the guy I was sat next to started to talk to me, he was a friendly guy from Italy named Stefano. He's in his early 20s and he's studying in uni to become some sort of world relations leader. we talked for ages about everything from jobs, to our hobbies, what cars we own, right down to swapping our countries chewing gum :') before I knew it, the journey was over and we shook hands and parted ways.
Im not sure what the point of my story is, it just made me see that I shouldn't make myself suffer when something out of my comfort zone can make things better.

"Calmness is the cradle of power." - Josiah Gilbert Holland
There was a bit of a chill in the air today, especially after yesterday's warmer than seasonal temperatures that broke records in Ottawa, so after a long day in the office and when all the day's errands had been completed, I decided on comfort food for dinner.
Nothing quite like soup (sweet basil and asparagus in this case) and grilled cheese (swiss, not cheddar) to warm you up after a chilly day.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand.

My favorite part of home is sitting by the firelight, and simply being able to sit in the quiet of my own space.

On Friday, Rose went in to the vet to get spayed. I admit, I worried about it from the time I made the appointment. Greyhounds and anesthesia don't do so well together. In the past couple of months, Rose has decided that we should share my recliner and that she will be a lapdog forever. Something went off in my head and I realized that what she and I needed was a chair and a half. So, I got one and we brought it home while she was at surgery. The vet scared me, talking about some oozing at her incision site and some bleeding and that she might have to spend the night there Friday night. However, since Rose tends to be a little nervous, she decided to let me bring her home with some very strict instructions about carrying her up and down stairs, no running, no jumping, just rest. I was willing to sign in blood if need be to bring her home. She agreed to let her come home and Friday night, she was a drunken little sailor. Saturday morning, however, she woke up and found the new chair on her own. When I woke up, she was sleeping on the chair like it was her new throne after my husband lifted her up on it. I have a feeling that she's going to be spoiled rotten before this week is over, but I'm okay with that. Give all your pups an extra hug for me because you just never know.

week 6
This week was tough and I'm so tired. This was some great fun to shoot. Some pedestrians didn't see me shooting him and thought that something happened to him while cowering there. We had a good time. Took way too long to edit.
Next week's gonna be awesome though. Have a great one!

#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY
A huge Victorian house, surrounded by gardens, an orchard, a vegetable plot, home to my dear friend, Mr G., 80, a widower, his children and grandchildren not living very close, no pets to take care off, except his beloved plants and precious seedlings.
Plenty of winter evenings, with the wind howling around this house on a height, are spent browsing the catalogs, prices compared, letters written, ordering the different seeds for flowers and vegetables.
The windowsills in his kitchen, the heart of his home, catch the sun at some time in the day, so, from early on, that becomes the ‘nursery’, once hardy enough the plants are moved into the small veranda built onto the backdoor (the majestic front door and hall get rarely used these days).
Facing the South, needless to say , they thrive in there, now what happens, since it can be very windy and a couple of degrees cooler up the hills, he waits and waits to plant them out, by then they fill the veranda with colour, fragrance and beauty… he keeps them there, where he sits and reads his newspaper.
I hope your day is filled with beauty, thanx for your comments, Magda, (*_*)

I created this picture today as a form of self expression, to get out into the world what is happened inside my head. As someone who experiences anxiety, I'm in a constant battle to be in my little safe zone, yet the willpower I have is always wanting to push myself out of it. Generally things are going well, learning to be adults and all that jazz. I've missed creating personal work so much.
I'm so ready to create more self portraits. I feel it's time.
