Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
So if I remember it right, today is a yellow day on this Photostream. So my first yellow picture of 2022 must be a picture of my tiny yellow ducks. I hope you will like it my friends and thank you all for the motivation and inspiration your yesterday’s comments gave me ! I didn’t do much progress in my decluttering process but I took several pictures and now my living room is a mess… another day, another messy room to declutter... I'm so pathetic.
Have a beautiful day ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a black and white day at Color my world Daily and we celebrate Sliders Sunday. My today’s picture reflects how I see my near futur: very curvy and in a shape of a spiral. I must admit, Christmas isn’t exactly my favorite time of the year and being very disorganized doesn’t help the situation. I fell like I’m running in circles or just trying to climb a very, very curvy road on a tiny children’s bike… But, don’t you worry my friends, like each year, I will climb that spiral no matter what. I will set a Christmas tree (no, it isn’t done yet !!), I will declutter my house, I will cook, I will wrap all the gifts (since we only do gifts for children, there isn’t much stuff to wrap…), I will have my family and friends over and I will do it with a smile on my face and peace in my heart. And in the end, I will look at my pictures and tell myself how lucky I am to have such a « curvy » and far from boring family life ! So lets all enjoy, the bumps and curves ahead ! That is what makes life awesome !
See you later ! And have a beautiful day my friends ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a yellow day at Color my world Daily and I didn’t decorate my Christmas tree yet… I must admit, I have very little space and my home office (computer table) is at the exact spot where we usually put the Christmas tree… Last year we had a smaller modern cardboard tree… But apparently, this year I have even more stuff (hoarder’s life isn’t easy) and less space so I will have to declutter before even try to put some Christmas decorations in my house. I can’t believe it is already Christmas time ! Isn’t that crazy ?? Right now, I feel like the guy in my picture: alone on a planet egg with a dead and naked tree which illustrate the absence of Christmas ambiance in my life right now. I'm definitely not ready yet for Christmas 2021 !
See you later ! And have an awesome yellow day my friends ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
I find myself drawn more and more to simple images with minimal content.
Sometime you just need to declutter and get back to basics.
I get a nice feeling of serenity when I spend time with this image and I hope it does something good for you too.

Maybe this was the lull during Super Saturday. Remember Super Saturday? It was the day when the Snaefellsnes peninsula was our world and we explored it royally. From mid morning at Grundarfoss until after sunset under an enormous pink swirling cloud at the black church of Budir we stopped here there and everywhere on a day of maximum input and an output that will have me reaching into the archives for months, possibly years to come. I have no less than eighteen separate folders full of RAW files from that finest of days, some of which contain large numbers of images to pore over, while a few, such as the group I took from a layby on the road to Hellnar have just two or three files, little more than handheld snapshots.
By the time we arrived here, we’d already had a very agreeable few hours at the lesser known Svodufoss on the northwest corner of the peninsula, where we’d bathed in autumnal sunshine under the majestic white peak of Snaefellsjokull. We’d paused briefly to photograph the church of Ingjaldsholl in front of the glacier, before sauntering happily along the remote and empty Utnesvegur, passing a discarded landscape of twisted forms. A crater here, a lava field there. For now we were just driving through the landscape, enjoying the privilege of witnessing this extraordinary peninsula. We’d stop at Arnarstapi and photograph the white house again next, we decided. But for a moment we’d take that side road to Hellnar and pause in the layby for a snack, from where we could gaze down at the church we’d abandoned all intentions of photographing twenty-four hours earlier. I’d seen some very agreeable images of the subject in these pages, but from wherever you looked it was surrounded by clutter, and the most compelling pictures I’d found for reference had been simplified by a blanket of snow. Reluctantly we’d agreed that there probably wasn’t a shot here for this trip. I took a couple of snaps with the long lens and duly filed the results, instantly forgetting the episode as we moved on to the next stop where there was an already tried and tested composition to revisit. The lull was over, and the feeding frenzy of Super Saturday had resumed.
It was only much later, in one of those moments when I decided that while I wanted to play around with some shots in the editing suite, I wasn’t in the mood for sifting through a large number of candidates. I wanted simple, and simple didn’t come easier than a folder with only three RAW files, two of which appeared to be almost identical. The shortlisting would take approximately zero seconds. Maybe I could declutter the space around the church? Another monochrome conversion with a bit of contrast would help to simplify the scene, and perhaps there was an image hidden in plain sight that was worth persevering for. Just a quick half hour before I moved away from the computer and did something else with my Sunday afternoon, I thought to myself. And so I started to tinker, gradually removing one distraction after another with varying degrees of success, until the white church stood alone in its space against the quiet ocean. A dodge, a burn or several, a pair of levels and curves adjustments and the shapes of distant mountains somewhere closer to Reykjavik appeared across the water. Now an image that initially offered little promise began to take shape. It still wasn’t one I planned to share – at least not until the moment that I began to rather like what I was looking at. Somehow, an image had evolved from a messy starting point and I was happy.
It makes me wonder what else I’ve got lying around in my saved files; what images are hovering one step away from the dustbin of eternity that might have a hidden promise just waiting to be hatched from chaos. When there are so many fantastic moments still waiting to be captured, it may be a while before any more of the lesser lights appear, but anything is possible. “Never delete anything – just in case,” seems to be the lesson I’ve learned, not that I often do. You never know when you might see something in an unloved snapshot that you overlooked in the first place.
For the theme "minimalism" . This symbolizes how we like to keep our holidays in the great outdoors. Simple. How I am striving to declutter our home. Then to clear our mind. Even when considering an edit on this ICM image of a sunset, I kept it minimal. Happy Crazy Tuesday! Keep it simple.

NO MORE THE FOOL – ELKIE BROOKS
This “poem” is actually a song I wrote this morning.
One day when I perfect the tune, I may sing it to you …
My foolish heart can't take no more
I cry at night; my feelings hit the floor
and in the darkness I think of you
and my heart tears a little more for you're not true
The shadows grow and darken deep inside of me
it's hard to see the light until my heart breaks free
I know I've got to let you go
but it is hard to do the right thing, you should know
At last I fall asleep and dream
but fitfully in grey and cream
there is no room for black and white
for the little grey areas become more prominent at night
When I wake up to greet the dawn
I hear the peacocks cry mournfully on the lawn
the sun shines in and warms my face
there's no room for sadness; gladness takes it's place
I have survived another night
I have come through another self-inflicted fight
now it is clear; the veil falls free
my eyes are open wide to meet the change in me
I rise up high above the clouds
I shout your name and then goodbye so loud
you must hear me; let me fly free
for my wings can never be clipped; so let me be
For every fading memory and written word
I see before me flying free a fragile bird
it's wing-ed bones like angel's wings alight
the sun's warm rays; transparency in flight
For every spoken word of love a flower grows
and tilts it's face to Heaven like it knows
that lightness of our beings feed upon
the caress and the love we find beyond
I stand in tranquil silence to face the day
my hand moves up to wipe the tears away
and then I find I'm ready for this moment
that supersedes the past and all the torment.

Taken for the Macro Mondays theme of 'knolling'
Knolling refers to the practice of arranging similar objects in a precise, perpendicular manner. The goal of knolling is to create a sense of order and clarity in a space by aligning and organizing the objects within it
The term was coined by Andrew Kromelow in the late 1980s and later popularized by artist Tom Sachs. Kromelow was a janitor in Frank Gehry’s Santa Monica studio and had a habit of laying out
Knolling is a term coined by Andrew Kromelow in the late 1980s. Kromelow was a janitor in Frank Gehry’s Santa Monica studio at the time, and he came up with the concept of knolling as a way to organize the tools in the workshop when they were not in use. Kromelow observed that the tools in the workshop were often left in disarray, and he saw the potential for a more efficient and organized workspace by aligning and organizing the tools.
Kromelow’s colleague, artist Tom Sachs was intrigued by Kromelow’s method of organizing the tools. Sachs adopted the practice of knolling in his own studio and began incorporating it into his artwork. He has credited Kromelow as the inspiration for his use of knolling in his art.
Since then, the concept of knolling has gained widespread popularity, especially within the art world. It is often used as a way to photograph and display objects, such as tools or art supplies, in a visually appealing manner. Knolling has also been used as a way to organize and declutter workspaces, allowing for a more efficient and productive environment.
The appeal of knolling lies in its simplicity and minimalism. It is a way to showcase the beauty of everyday objects by presenting them in a clear and organized manner. It is also a way to bring attention to the forms and shapes of the objects themselves, rather than their function or purpose.
In addition to its practical applications, knolling can also be seen as a form of art in and of itself. The arrangement of objects in a knolling display requires a keen eye for balance and composition, as well as a sense of aesthetics. It is a way to transform a collection of seemingly mundane objects into a cohesive and visually striking display.
Overall, knolling is a unique and innovative way to approach organization and display. It is a concept that has gained widespread popularity within the art world and beyond, and it shows no signs of slowing down.

and silence your Inner critic. Taken from my kayak. Even though Spring seems like a long ways off with arctic temps still looming and 3 feet of snow outside thoughts of kayaking like this pleasure my mind and leave me in a meditative state.
Positive thinking is so important these days.
Hope you are all well.
"What's this?" you say. "That's not Iceland! It looks very much like Cornwall. Porthtowan if I'm not mistaken!" And yes, you'd be right.
I've decided to very briefly interrupt the recent deluge of Iceland drama for the odd interlude, just to keep things fresh and to confirm that, yes, I am still getting out with the camera here and there. Fear not though Iceland fans - I still feel like I've barely scratched the surface of the 106 folders into which I've divided the fourteen days we spent there. Yes, I did say 106 - I don't know whether that frightens of excites me in truth. Not all of them will produce an image worthy of sharing with you, but I think I can safely say that there are a lot of pictures in those files that are straining at the sidelines, like fish waiting to jump into an angler's net and be turned into another entry to these pages.
But just now and again, and nowhere near as often as usual, I've been out for the odd half-hearted escapade with the camera. This image barely hides that half-heartedness in fact. Taken with the rarely used "walkabout" lens, the one that I resort to when I want a large focal range without carrying much, and shot on the scarcely visited beach at Porthtowan just three miles from home are both factors that tell you I wasn't completely in the zone. It was only a late decision to get some fresh air, driven by the fact that I'd spent most of the last few days inside, gradually working my way through some of the contents of those 106 folders, that brought me here. "We'll borrow the dogs and walk over the clifftop at Porthtowan," I suggested. I took the camera, more for practice than anything else.
And so we found ourselves down on the beach, on the last day of the half term break. By now pretty much all of the tourists had headed for home, and so the mood was a distinctly local one. The Blue Bar at the edge of the sand had the usual Sunday afternoon crowd within its walls, nursing cups of coffee and pints of lager, while the beach was festooned with families wandering across the beach and back again in no particular direction as the children clung to the last moments of pleasure before the autumn term resumed. The only way to declutter the scene was to move over to the left hand side of the beach and shoot across the sweeping curve of cliffs that lead the way to St Ives and beyond. I had at least taken my lightweight travel tripod, the one that went to Madeira with me, but definitely wasn't going to stand up to Iceland's rigours. The incoming tide here tends to come in sudden instalments of several yards designed to catch the unwary, and without my welly boots I had to keep repositioning the tripod as the light started to do what it so often does in these soft clear evenings here. In time, the yellows morphed into tinges of pink, that bounced across the beach and onto my sensor. Once again I pondered at the mostly overlooked lens in this mostly ignored location on the doorstep. Both were performing admirably, or so I felt. Maybe there's something in the budget lens's lack of commitment to absolute sharpness that lends itself to a soft and dreamy scene such as this. And maybe I ought to stop ignoring Porthtowan quite so much. Although there's no obvious focal point, the light is really rather special here when the colder months arrive. And look - can you see it? I'd never noticed it before, but there's an enormous stone buddha carved into the side of the cliff right in front of me. It brings a whole new meaning to the term "Rockface."
In the next couple of posts, I'll take you back to Iceland for further adventures there. I've just double checked, and only 27 of the 106 folders have even been visited so far. It could take years of discovery and memory jolts before the story is anything like complete. But soon Ali and I are off on our travels again for a while - this time for a sunshine holiday, but it does happen to be a location with some photography to be had from it. I've got some stories that I hope to post while we're away that are "oven ready" as Boris would have said before he jumped into the oven himself. Meanwhile, I'm off to join forces with one of our Flickr friends later on this very day. Watch this space!
Week 7 in 52 Weeks for Dogs. I wanted to do a Valentine's theme image but it left very late to come with something - I have had a busy and tiring week - so I ended up searching for and using these 'LOVE' letters. Luckily I didn't throw them out in my latest declutter. Tasku sensed the letters being near her and didn't like them; she kept pushing them away which knocked them over. It took several attempts before I was successful.
Then a fair bit of work in processing to get the background clutter out, paint it white then add this bokeh flash texture by pareeerica.

happy friday, everyone. these pictures bring out a sense of calm and happy in me. i need to get there. it's like my therapy.
I took a drive today, the 1st day of a new year! Just a drive inspired by the will to get out into the world and follow a road which runs past my house. The "Wild Atlantic Way" a network of roads which twists and turns it's way along the western seaboard of Ireland, what a wonderful place to live! I got a little carried away and had to take a shortcut home!
I love going to garage sales and sifting through piles of stuff looking for hidden treasures. At one point my husband and I would go every weekend and scour for cds. We bought enough to fill 7 big binders. With online music apps available there isn't much demand for the cds any longer and what once was a treasure to us now feels like clutter. I'm not sure what to do with them now so they sit on a shelf, unused and collecting dust. It is time to declutter the house but I am still conflicted about getting rid of my music collection.
What are you holding on to in your life? I challenge you to finally think about why you are holding on and if it’s not serving a good purpose it is time to let it go.
This year I'm REALLY going to declutter…my life in general and wardrobes and cupboards in particular.
For Crazy Tuesday and the theme "New Purposes"
Have a fun day, everyone!
Consider starting with just two or three, and then gradually incorporating more into your routine.
1. Practice digital detox
Set aside regular periods where you disconnect from electronic devices, social media, and the constant stream of information. This can help reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance real-world connections.
2. Engage in creative activities
Pursue hobbies or artistic endeavors like painting, writing, playing music, or crafting. Creative expression can be therapeutic and help you process emotions while developing new skills.
3. Learn something new
Challenge your brain by taking up a new language, skill, or subject of interest. Continuous learning keeps your mind sharp and can boost self-confidence and personal growth.
4. Practice self-compassion
Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer a good friend. This involves acknowledging your struggles without harsh self-judgment and recognizing that imperfection is part of the human experience.
5. Cultivate a positive environment
Surround yourself with supportive people, declutter your living space, and create an atmosphere that promotes peace and positivity. This might include adding plants to your home, using aromatherapy, or curating a playlist of uplifting music.
Ladies, whether you are a Mama to someone, or just a single girl.. please take care of you. We, girls work so hard to be loyal, a friend, a leader, and so many other roles.. that we often forget to take care of ourselves.

2/52 Weeks - Resolutions
"Week 2 2024" "Monday, January 8, 2024" "52 Weeks: The 2024 Edition" "Resolutions"
Trying to downsize or declutter can get more complicated than it seems. Which room to start with, what to keep, donate, or give away? Some of the items being considered need to include conversations just to be sure that I'm on the right track. :)
....My remodeled work shop. Today was a nice day and time to declutter and throw out things that I had held on way too long to fix or repair at a later time. Nope; gone.
Shhhh; don't tell anyone; but working with wood is my first interest; and photography a close 2nd. And I used a cell phone camera to take this image. For shame. Haha
I passed by this fantastic Bisti formation many times but never quite figured out how to shoot it. It sits quite low and is difficult to declutter from the surroundings. Here is an idea executed by getting higher long after sunset to obtain a better contrast of the brownish hoodoo and its mushroom-like curled up hat (with a hole!) against cracked up purple-green clay. Manta Ray floats away into the night.
When your last 8 years are translated into 7 moving boxes 📦
After almost 3 weeks in customs my "shipment" was cleared, and got my boxes yesterday! Yay!! 🎉
Now is time to find a new home for my things ♀️
The house I used to live in London, was so old, I was always aware of the damp and the old carpets smell, I used fresh clean linen conditioner, candles etc that I loved, but would hardly notice it.
Only now, as I open the boxes I notice those clean fragrances 😍 even the books box!!! and my mother said, yes this room smells so much like you!
Because it's myself I can't really notice it, I know it will sound llame, but I'm so happy this lovely fresh smell is identified with me lol
Happy Friday!! ❤
declutter. +++
if there was ever a photograph to represent of my life right now, its probably this.

A while back ago, I took a few images of this mountain, and they were not widely popular. However, I still had in my mind the perfect image. Did I get it tonight? Closer then last time, thats for sure. One of the problems last time was too much "close" foreground. I say about half the image was kind of like a little hill before the mountain. I corrected that by walking about a quarter of a mile into the trail. SO that below me was the valley that stands between the hill I am standing and the mountain I am capturing. Problem two, when I drive home at night, the HUGE mountain behind the one you see, towers over this one. But when you are on this trail, they almost look the same hight. Because of the angle and all. So the whole image did not work out as well as I wanted it to. But tonight, there was enough clouds to cover the second mountain and yet, few enough to see there is actually a second mountain! And, I did the hike, all in all, I am happy with the image! I did do a pano crop on this. No, I did not take the time to take MANY images to stich together. Unfortunatly, I did not think of that while there! So, I will settle for taking a wide image and only showing you the top half. Why only the top half? Because it was HEAVY shadow down below. Kind of distracting on the complete view. I know, I also wish I had a bit more of the sky. It seamed that my wide lens was too wide and my mid lens was not wide enough. Too many mm between the two. :) Eventually, I would love to fill that gap in. (Can easily be done with a full frame sensor camera!) Oh, but then I would not be able to use my wide lens. Something to think about! Please enjoy!
tried to declutter today; will have to set up a rotation of framing all the lovely prints i've been sent from my amazingly talented flickr friends.

My part of the world had quite a lot of rainfall over the past couple of weeks and during that time, I tried to draw up some concepts that could be taken indoors. I came up with a few, this being one of them. I think the title speaks for itself (that, and I can't think of a better one at the moment). I'm happy to say that the sun has decided to show itself recently and I'm itching to head outside and declutter my mind of the accumulating ideas. I've taken to sketching them out but I'm not sure that this is really helping a great deal since my drawing skills are abysmal.
In other news, I was featured on Artist A Day and was selected as a Top Finalist for the See.Me competition - which is awesome!

Yesterday while working on my new focus of cleaning up my life, I was listening to Andy J. Miller's podcast, The Creative Peptalk (www.creativepeptalk.com/ )and he was interviewing Rogie King, who is an illustrator. Their conversation was quite personal, deep and illuminating. I felt that this image illustrated the openness and honesty of their conversation which left them bare and exposed. I recently discovered the podcast, it is filled with great information and I am working my way through them as I declutter my life and mind one day at a time. I appreciate his honesty and vulnerability as he shares his insights about working and living a creative life.
I'm not sure why but I like this photo a lot. I was taking it because I liked my hair, I didn't bother to declutter or try to make it interesting or anything. So there I am, in my room wearing my bathrobe. That's a perfectly right description of me, I never want to get dressed. My paintings and mirrors and tiny drawings are all around me, reflecting the oddity of my mind and my wandering thoughts. It may not be the most aesthetic photo but it is an honest documentation of my self, not trying to be anything special.

Purposely underexposed to keep details in the white and declutter a busy background
Phew, there has been NO time to play with my camera or on Flickr lately. This is definitely the longest stretch I've gone without taking a picture since I started the 365 more than 20 months ago!
I loved this image because the sheep just seem to carry right on up to the sky. Also, I need a peaceful and pastoral image right now to counteract the craziness that is my life: clean, paint, pack, declutter, buy, sell, renovate -- yeesh!
Sorry to all my Flickr friends, whom I am uniformly ignoring right now. I'll be baaaa-ck, I promise.
Edited to add: ha! After 10-months, my Explore drought is over - the donkey loves me again! Explored 23 Aug 2010, up to #98. Thanks all!
A shot of the Exmouth Lifeboat Station on a scorching but windy day. The clouds are coming in from the sea thick and fast. It looks like it's gonna get messy!
There were a few reasons why I needed/wanted to get out for a drive yesterday, 30 January 2019. I am wondering if the fact that I have had house mice is having an ill effect on my health. I have spent so much time the last few weeks, trying to declutter and get rid of a lot of stuff, and I'm not sure if I have disturbed the mouse spray and been breathing it in. You can't vacuum when you've had mice, so I haven't been doing that, but you still disturb things when sorting and moving belongings. I always have a cough - for years, and they couldn't find out the cause - but it has been worse recently. Anyway, I thought I would get out into the fresh air for a few hours today. Also, the forecast was for clouds and I thought this might be easier to drive in. The sun recently has been so glaringly bright and it affects my eyes. Note to self - must get my eyes checked sometime this year!
So, on this cloudy, low-light day, I made my way east of the city, hoping to maybe see an owl of some sort. I quickly checked to see if any Short-eared Owls were to be seen, though I knew it was probably too early in the day for them to be out. No sign of one at all. Time to drive a few back roads in case there was a Snowy Owl in sight. Some of the roads I travelled were ones that I hadn't driven before, which was good for me. Though I have been east of the city many times over the years, I have still only driven a few of the roads myself. I was fortunate to find two Snowy Owls; first a beautiful, streaked female, and then on a different road, a handsome male who flew off when I was still half a mile down the road.
There was still time to go back to look for a Short-eared Owl and this time, there were several of them. Most of the time, they were either flying far away or landing in the middle of a huge field. However, at the end, one did land on a post and stayed there for quite some time. Awkward to photograph, though, when there are other cars and photographers. I couldn't see anything at first, as there were two cars in front of me. In the end, I got out of my car and carefully stood between the two vehicles - couldn't see well around the first car and couldn't move out any further otherwise I would have blocked a friend's long lens behind me. I suspected that my photos were blurry because of the front car and for my last few photos, I moved around and stood away from the heat rising from the vehicle. That made a difference - now I have several somewhat sharper images, and an awful lot of blurry shots to delete. Sigh ....
A young relative of one of the landowners came across the field and I had quite a long, interesting talk with him. He wondered what all the cars in the area were doing and I explained about the owls and that we were all birders/photographers. He said his grandmother was so worried and stressed out - quite afraid. I told him that I am always concerned when photographers do this, as I know it must make some landowners nervous (understandably, with the crime rate in rural areas), and told him to please apologize to his grandma, and to also reassure her that we are all good, harmless people, interested only in trying to get photos of the owls.
Another reason to get out yesterday was that we are about to have a drastic change in our weather! For weeks now, we have been enjoying much milder winter weather, but on Sunday, 3 February, the forecast is for a high of -22C (windchill -31C). A high of -24C for Monday.
1.8.12 - 8/366
In the interest of maintaining some of the declutter revolution which occurred in my household (and several others), I decided to challenge myself with carrying only one prime lens with me this week.
Not to mention, the 50mm is also a perfect lens to continue to help in simplying vision and removing all the extra stuff. Assuming, of course, I use it wide open....
