There is a moment when all becomes still and life is just solely about the two people in that moment

The Art Gallery, a two-storeyed masonry structure with a corrugated iron gable roof, is located on the eastern corner of the site fronting Abbott and Shields Streets. This Georgian Revival building was designed to be extended to the northeast along the Shields Street frontage, with a repeat of the portico on the western end of that facade, but this extension has never occurred. The building has glazed bricks with rendered quoining and opening surrounds. The Cairns Art Gallery (formerly known as the Cairns Regional Gallery) was officially opened on 15 July 1995 as a not-for-profit company managed by a Board of Directors. The building is a restored 1936 government building. The dream of a public art gallery for Cairns began to take shape in 1979 and over the next sixteen years it took a shared passion and vision for the future, as well as the tenacious commitment of Cairns Mayors, Councillors, State Ministers, artists and members of the community to raise over $2 million to repurpose the heritage listed Public Curators Building into an award-winning gallery. The Cairns Art Gallery is now one of Australia’s leading public galleries recognised for the excellence of it's programs and collections relating to the unique heritage and living culture of North Queensland in the context of the world’s tropic zone and the Asia Pacific region. 22681

Autumn in the Jardin de Luxembourg

This is again an attempt to photograph people and daily life in Paris in a way that keep the anonymity of the person. I will post soon some examples where people are recognizable. Here I was fascinated by the light on the chairs and his way of raking the leaves

There are only two options regarding commitment.

You're either in or out.

There's no such thing as a life in-between.

My coat, still in the January mirror.

My heart, tense and vicious. One word and life is being tossed in my ventricular system wandering far from commitments and courtrooms, always distracted by that intriguing, mysterious light over there. What is it?

It looks like a new kind of hunger.

I’m sorry to leave this important convo, but i need to know.

A new beginning is nearly here.

“Like the legend of the Phoenix

All ends with beginnings

What keeps the planets spinning (uh)

The force from the beginning

We've come too far to give up who we are

So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars

She's up all night to the sun

I'm up all night to get some

She's up all night for good fun

I'm up all night to get lucky”

Once upon a time the U.S. Senate was rightfully known as the "world's greatest deliberative body." Its members served our country with courage and honor and commitment to the principles enshrined in our Constitution. They were patriots. They had character we could always count on. That was then. Remember when.....if you can.

Sometimes I get lucky. This pair did not notice me standing with my tripod. They swam up close, completely undisturbed. Their gift presentation was also a gift to me; Clark's Grebes; Aechmophorus clarkii; Santa Margarita Lake; CA; USA

The Commitments

*Working Towards a Better World

The year you were born marks only your entry into the world. Other years where you prove your worth, they are the ones worth celebrating. - Jarod Kintz, This Book Title is Invisible

Mature love is composed and sustaining; a celebration of commitment, companionship, and trust. - H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Cakes are special. Every birthday, every celebration ends with something sweet, a cake, and people remember. It's all about the memories. -

Buddy Valastro

A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year. - Paul Sweeney

Any celebration meal to which guests are invited, be they family or friends, should be an occasion for generous hospitality. - Julian Baggini

People of our time are losing the power of celebration. Instead of celebrating we seek to be amused or entertained. Celebration is an active state, an act of expressing reverence or appreciation. To be entertained is a passive state--it is to receive pleasure afforded by an amusing act or a spectacle.... Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one's actions.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜

2024 was one of the hardest years of my life.

I learned so much about myself - strengths and weaknesses.

I broke myself repeatedly to form a more solid me.

I sacrificed true love on an altar of commitment.

I watched generations wither and stepped into the gap.

I gained beautiful flowers in my garden of friends.

I froze in the face of trial and closed within myself.

I created from the depths of my agony.

I screamed in silence for dreams unfulfilled.

I stepped up and made the choice - God over everything else.

I struggled out of the pit of surviving.

I don't know what 2025 holds.

But I know there will be continued pain... continued longing...continued moments of falling and picking myself back up. Moments of showing up for myself in solitude. Moments of nostalgia... and memory... that crush the air from my very chest.

And likely...Grief.

But through it all...

I will continue to persevere as best I can.

I will continue to cry out to God in my confusion and gain clarity.

I will continue to soak up the sun and dance in the rain.

I will continue to find small joys in the birds song.

I will continue to breathe in and out.

I will continue to believe.

I will continue to live.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11

Forever is composed of Nows

Tis not a different time

Except for Infiniteness

And Latitude of Home

~Emily Dickinson

A cruise aboard the Sam Patch departs from Schoen Place in the Port of Pittsford, NY, traveling west through the historic village of Pittsford, which retains much of its original charm and character thanks to a strong commitment to preservation.

It arrives at Lock 32 and passes through the 40 ton gates.

MUST HAVE SOMEBODY TO DIVID IT WITH.

Today's walk took me through Willband Creek Park, a wildlife preserve made up of marshes, ponds and wetlands.

This nesting box is currently vacant, but like my commitment to a daily photo, it will be filled soon. :-)

Have a nice weekend!

Project 365-034

Some family commitments involving a trip upt’ North stopped me posting over the weekend, so to prevent another Flickr blockage I made sure I did photoshop editing on my return to keep things loose, so to speak. However, when I thought this LE seascape was going to be a gas, I was wrong. It turned out a bit lumpier than I expected and I had a lot of cleaning up to do. Overconfidence can lead to embarrassing mistakes. That’s all I’m going to say about that.

The humanly side of photography contains at least three elements:

subjectivity

creativity

human initiative

If you going to purchase a camera and lenses you should try to be a photographer; however, for some (photographers?) laziness replaces human initiative.

Work commitments were favourable enough for me to hang on at Farnborough for this, and I was very glad that I did! Celebrity pairing of 66522 and 66721 head the 6Y48 09:02 Eastleigh to Hoo Jn engineers. One Freightliner and one GBRf 66 working a Colas infrastructure train. Privatisation at its best?

Dedicated Laysan albatross mates alternate parental duties taking turns sitting on the nest and foraging for food. Tending the nest can mean a commitment of up to two weeks or more before swapping duties and heading out to sea to feed. This Laysan albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis) nest site was in the shade of a naio shrub on the sand dunes of Ka’ena Point.

This farmer stood there for hours, on the side of the highway, braving dust and pollution, to offer free food and sweets to the passing traffic.

I salute him !

I apologise for not contributing anything to Flickr for a few days. Sometimes life just gets too busy.

A pair of Arriva Trains Wales Class 142 'Pacer' multiple units heads towards Cardiff Queen Street station on Saturday 9th January 2016. I was waiting, along with many other people, to gain access to the building just out of view on the right. Unfortunately the security guard had failed to turn up at the appointed time to open up, so naturally I grasped the opportunity for some railway photography.

Incidentally, I didn't plan to get these passers-by in the shot; they just happened to be there at the moment the 'Pacer' rolled past.

Does anyone believe in this anymore?

Commitment.
