“We define: ‘sepia’ means the colour of the standard sepia which is there kept hermetically sealed. Then it will make no sense to say of this sample either that it is of this colour or that it is not.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Sawmill De Salamander plays an important role in the history of Leidschendam and for a major part defines the appearance of the old Leidschendam centre near the Vliet canal. It is unique in its type and surely a monument to be proud of. At the mill wood is sawn in rough planks for wood floors, furniture, ship restoration, etc. Ask the miller, he can tell you more. And the mill guides lead the visitors through the mill.

I have often wondered if anyone reads the context to the photos posted on Flickr.
I have definitely had defining moments in my life that has made me who I am, those moments that make you glad to be alive, doing something and looking back without any regrets. This song for me is about wanting to be loved, it's about wanting time to never end, loving someone and being loved back.
It's about trust, companionship and closeness, and reaching out to those around you, and how that can just make you feel like you “just don't care” — “the thunder before the lightning” represents the seconds of doubt/worry before a defining moment and just having the guts to do it — “there you are sitting in my garden, clutching my coffee, calling me sugar” for me, represents that after taking the risk to reach out to someone, they may reach out to you too, and become part of your life, like you had never been apart, and now they are casually sitting in your garden sharing your coffee. This song makes you think twice about everyone around you and how much they mean to you in the past and present.
Had the day off. I went to the art museum with my family. 12 hours later I had emergency open heart surgery. How would your last frame define you? Why do you make art? I make art to connect with my family and friends. Enjoy the messiness of life. It ends too soon. HNY 2022

beauty is in the little details around us, you just have to notice them.
Macro Mondays - defining beauty
I was looking out the front window yesterday at the hummingbirds at our feeder when I saw a lesser goldfinch male in the Russian sage. I grabbed my camera, went out the front door and immediately caused multiple finches in the sage to fly away. Undaunted, I checked the bushes on the other side of the house and sure enough I saw this little female. She was in the perfect spot to get a super clean background (my neighbor's stucco house). I thought maybe they were after the myriad of bees and bugs in the flowers, but she was actually munching on the blossoms. Such a sweetheart!
My sincere thanks to all who spend the time to view, like or comment on my photos. It is much appreciated!

So....is "more interesting" a good thing? I could say that this has been an interesting week, but not an exceptionally good week. There are not enough hours in a day lately, and not enough fun in the hours, and there have been too many disappointments and a lack of motivation ....
Well, a new week begins tomorrow...and maybe it will be "more interesting." And I can only hope that that will be a good thing!
Happy Sliders Sunday
San Francisco Square in the Historic Center of Quito.
From left to right, in the San Francisco building, you can see the doors of the Chapel of Cantuña, the Chapel of Villacísla, the main church, the convent and the museum.
***
The Church and its chapels (La Iglesia de San Francisco), which were considered sacred places.
Together, Church and Convent encompass three hectares including 13 cloisters (six of them major), three churches, and a large courtyard. In total, about 40,000 square meters of construction. San Francisco follows the classical typology of medieval monasteries. The main Church is the guiding axis and from there the cloister galleries extend: the refectory, the chapterhouse, and winery. These define a quadrangular courtyard, with the four respective pandas, or galleries: that of the chapter room, the refectory, the converts, and the mandatum. In addition to the basic dependencies of a convent, there were areas devoted to health care, education, crafts, a garden, and even a jail (to maintain strict discipline). The kitchen and dispensery operated in the cloister of services.
***
Walking from the Old Town’s narrow colonial streets into this open plaza reveals one of the finest sights in all of Ecuador: a sweeping cobblestone plaza backed by the mountainous backdrop of Volcán Pichincha, and the long, whitewashed walls and twin bell towers of Ecuador’s oldest church.
***
The Public Square (Plaza de San Francisco) was a purely urban space, demarcated and connected to various public activities (teaching, market, water supply).
***
Sad part of our History.
In pre-Hispanic Quito, the current lands of the Church and Convent of San Francisco were occupied by the royal palace of the Inca Huayna Cápac, before the advance of the armies commanded by the Spaniards from the south and the impossibility of defending the city the indigenous general Rumiñahui arranged the total destruction of it. In the city fire the palace was destroyed and buried under a huge amount of rubble and garbage. One of Rumiñahui's soldiers was the great-grandfather of the indigenous Cantuña, who as an eyewitness to the events had full knowledge of what was buried in the place. The construction of the church and convent of San Francisco began around 1537, just three years after the Spanish foundation of the city, with the completion of a provisional temple that was maintained until 1550, when construction of the current building began and which was completed around 1680. Although the building was officially inaugurated in 1705.
Whale biologist Hal Whitehead defines a breach as when more than 40% of the animal is above water, whereas a lunge is when less than 40% appears. I remember that this adult Humpback Whale dropped back into the water straight after this shot, and I'd guess about 40% is on show, so this is a borderline breach. You can see water pouring out of its mouth (especially on the far side) and cascading down its back. I think the top of its pectoral fin is just visible if you zoom in, though it looks oddly absent. That misty area just left of its mouth is actually its breath as it quickly dissipates in the next pictures in the sequence. This was taken at Gorda Banks off the southern tip of the Baja peninsula.

This is my eye. Ridiculous.
HMM!
If sometimes you have no idea what kind of photo I am going to post, it's probably because I also have no idea what photo I am going to post, either. I usually decide about 15 seconds beforehand unless there's a birthday or Caturday post. Anyway, this was a reflection of the outside steps along the ceiling of the top floor of the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) and I thought ok I like that and can also relate to that. I feel like I don't post photos of my home city of Chicago as often as I should, either.
So...what does it actually mean to be defined by diagonals? There's an element of unpredictability here and perhaps of choice paralysis too....you are constantly caught between two simultaneous directions given the illusion of a shorter distance between points but only if you are brave enough to take it and can survive. So, you may end up feeling trapped with an illusion that you should be feeling more motivated with a clear direction.

Everyone enjoys “A Summer Day” but not without a price. Living in a single home presents us with lots of chores. Inside and outside of the home. Keeping the birds happy and fed is a chore too. Watching them daily I’ve tried to figure out their hierarchy. Who are the workers and who is the real “Big Bird” in this community. We have Cardinals, Robins Wrens and others I may not not know the names of. Nevertheless they’re fun to watch as they fly around here with grass and or twigs in their mouths as they build and repair their own homes. We have numerous feeders and birdhouses here to help them be comfortable and happy. We are a part of their life as they are a part of ours. Together “A Summer Day” is defined by living with and around all kinds of little critters, some stay grounded and the fortunate ones can take flight.
Thanks for viewing my work,

"If beauty was a drop of water, you'll be the ocean" ;)
My first try of capturing a water drop shot. It was a little bit trickier than what I initially thought. Nevertheless, I got this somewhat respectable beauty. HMM!
Have a Great Sunday Everyone
This is what i called "predicted focus" (keep focusing on the water, where the bird might landing), thanks to meetvasu for noticing!
