Yes, I've been deadheading the roses again...

 

The photo in this image is of my friend's late parents, Margaret and Sandy. Everyone was given a copy of the print at Margaret's funeral earlier this year. She was a truly remarkable lady. As soon as I saw the photo I knew I had to use it in a still life image. I sent the image to my friend who said she'd been having a really bad day and this picture gave her some comfort and seemed like a message from them. I don't know what made me decide to use the photo today but sometimes things just happen for a reason.

Xerochrysum bracteatum, commonly known as the golden everlasting, paper daisy or strawflower, is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae native to Australia.

 

These have been flowering continuously since I planted them in May before the winter.

Sunset from the hills of the Olympiapark in Munich, Germany. I shot this often but it really never gets old.

Bathed in early morning sunlight.

Texture by Alex Edgar. Thank You.

 

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments.

A night trying new ND filters out at Ogmore by Sea. It's a change for me to stand still for a minute or so, for that reason The Everlasting Gaze, by Smashing Pumpkins is fine.

……. Standing tall & never drooping one little bit are these flowers at Attingham Park (N/Trust). This was taken back in March and yep they are still standing upright today!! My entry for Smile on Saturday with the theme "flowers in vertical photo”…….. HS😊S, Alan:-)

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.

What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.

The sunset that seemed to go on forever and had me still shooting images well into the blue hour as the colours in the clouds were forever changing.

in natural habitat on Robberg Peninsular, Plettenberg Bay

I picked a few for inside and took a few photos.

Have a great day/night.

No Way Out

Rie Sinclair And Mike Suby

 

You turn the room a shade heaven

And learn my name

The world asleep

While stone and sand keep shifting

Were the heart made of brass?

Or I a bird inside a cage?

Waiting, unfolded, hue and clay

Giving into your refrain and melody

The very thought unbinding me

 

No one ever will love me better than

Your everlasting love

I found only one way in and no way out

 

Will time illuminate the stains

And stop the pain

The night you held me under a spell

You know I cannot hide

You're the very thing unwinding me

 

No one ever will love me better than

Your everlasting love

I found only one way in and no way out

 

Tear my soul like paper

Carefully breaking off

A bitter tonic of lies

You cut me deeper inside

Only to sew me back up

 

You turn the room a shade heaven

You know my name

 

No one ever will love me better than

Your everlasting love

I found only one way in and no way out

May the light always shine upon you Mum.

 

Happy Mothers Day.......Love Cheryl.

Lovely Everlasting was flowering in the front yard for ages.

This one isn’t fully open yet but is still lovely. A wonderful colour.
