****************************************************

Another time it might have been so different

Oh if only we could do it all again

But now, now it's just another fading memory

Out of focus, though the outline still remains

So far away, away, fading distant lights

Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world

And you know that these are the days of our lives,

So remember...

Like the story that we wish was never ending

We know sometime we must reach that final page

And still we carry on just pretending

That there'll always be just one more day to go

So far away, away, fading distant lights

Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world

And you know that these are the days of our lives

So remember...

Another chance hello, another goodbye

And so many things we'll never see again

Oh, The days of life that seemed so unimportant

They seem to matter now, but to count much later on

So far away, away, fading distant lights

Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world

And you know that these are the days of our lives

Remember

Genesis Fading Lights (The Way We Walk)

Happy Bench Monday

We had just finished our tiring hike from Lake Haiyaha which was stunning, but also exhausting. This was the gorgeous sunset view we were greeted to at Dream Lake on our way back down to the trailhead. The sunset actually got even more vibrant as we were leaving, but we still got to soak it all in from the car and still make it back safely to our lodging for the night. We met a nice young g couple from out of state and got to visit with them and take in the stunning view together. It was a really lovely ending to an already amazing day. I truly am so thankful to the Lord for all of the ways He encountered us on this trip and for the abundance of beauty He showed us in His creation. I pray that this will be an encouragement to you even as you look at it. Thank you for your continued support of me on my photography journey!

The “line_up“ is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The “liners” are made out of paper (Din A3/A4),

oil paint and graphite. The theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers.

Sunset at the Fleetwood Marsh and the ship wrecks see out another day.

I tried to get the setting sun behind the rotting wooden carcass of the wreck and I now wished I had used a smaller aperture to get more starburst effect.

It had been such fun having a day at the waterfalls for a change, so I was still in a great mood when I went down the beach last night. It had been a grey misty day, so I hadn't gone down with any great expectation, just to get absorbed in the beauty of the beach. Unexpectedly the clouds started to tinge with colour, and the hunt for foregrounds began. I particularly loved these wonderfully textured rocks. It was a day of wonderful Happy Endings, by Pulp . A serene beauty washed over me in the still calm of the end of another amazing day.

Thursday morning was sunny and warm, so I headed to Deland Park to walk along the beach. Lake Michigan was in its calm mode .

This gull had been perched on the narrow part of the jetty and was headed towards the other gulls. These COVID-19 times seem to dominate the mind, so this title jumped into my head.

There is still time to make a substantial request. :)

In a world where words hold power, a simple request written on a piece of paper can manifest into reality. With a stroke of a pen, desires and dreams are set in motion, as the universe listens and responds. The words become a conduit for manifestation, unlocking possibilities and bringing forth the fulfillment of hopes and aspirations. So, carefully choose your words, for they possess the potential to shape your destiny and create a world of infinite possibilities.

A local sunset with a tree reaching the end of its time, looking rather forlorn in a field that has been home for the last Century or so!

It is sad to see so many of our stately trees dying off. I was actually driving back to the house and saw that the sky was quite interesting at dusk, so I stopped and took this shot. I had noticed this tree previously and thought it would make a worthy subject for an image if the conditions were decent..

52 Weeks: 2024 Edition: Week 49: ICM

Tired of me and love now a grave than the places we could have been,

Its leaves- all shed, and the twigs- dried and broken,

But I remain in the root, where it has kept me,

How, my body has outgrown my soul.

I loved this body, that loved me too,

We loved the light and had no fear of its ability to blind,

And loved the waters and had no fear of drowning

But it now float scarcely as it scarcely could see

I believe there was a time,

When it healed though I had it bruised,

When it recalled the faces of my own,

Then, It promised a youth, but so brief I do not recall

But were there, times too I could listen to it,

And failed like it failed in its promises to me,

And promised it a bathe, a walk, a caress,

but gave it none

But there were such times it wanted shelter; and for it I stole.

It has conveyed me through the deep and dark and cold

And has brought me love and mercy and love and kindness

But now it goes, and goes to rest or dance or blossom in the earth,

Leaving me with the waters, uncovered, unprotected, not to float like the water, but to drop evermore like a coin.

to end up summer .. I Still have one place to stop by ..

Conrail GP8 #5450 is running south through Norwich, NY with the local, just in from Sherburne, over the "hump" at Mitchell St. This was once the site of an overpass with tight confines. The railroad later removed it and raised the roadbed to accommodate a grade crossing instead. This would give head room for taller freight cars, such as trailers on flat cars.

The job will tie up in the Norwich Yard two blocks away.

A different Perspective of Oak's Bottom Wild life Refuge.

Eastern Chipmunk.

Between 8 1/2 to 11 3/4 inches in length. Reddish brown above with a white belly. 1 white stripe bordered by 2 black stripes on sides ending at the rump. 2 white stripes on back nuch thinner than side stripes. Dark center stripe down the back. Pale facial stripes above and below the eyes. Tail brown on tip and edged with black. Prominent ears.

The Eastern Chipmunk's habitat includes open deciduous woodlands, forest edges, brushy areas, bushes and stone walls in cemeteries and around houses.

They range from southeastern Canada and the north-eastern U.S. east from North Dakota and eastern Oklahoma and south to Missisippi, northwest Carolina and Virginia.

Kensington Metropark, Livingston County, Michigan.

I hope that 2007 held beautiful endings and that you have an outstanding new year!
