Yesterday, I went out to a park I've never been to before and it was absolutely gorgeous! I really only stayed in this little section at the beginning of the trail because there was a creek and bridge I couldn't resist, but I'll definitely be going back soon to explore even further.
p.s. I tried changing the color of this dress, but a few specific parts refused to change color, so I settled on keeping it how it is. Does anyone have any tips for how to deal with stubborn areas when color changing? Send me a message if you do!

"Black Magic Woman" is a song written by Peter Green that first appeared as a Fleetwood Mac single in various countries in 1968, subsequently appearing on the 1969 Fleetwood Mac compilation albums English Rose (US) and The Pious Bird of Good Omen (UK).
It became a classic hit by Santana in 1970.
I got a Black Magic woman.
I got a Black Magic woman.
Yes, I got a Black Magic woman,
She's got me so blind I can't see;
But she's a Black Magic woman and
She's trying to make a devil out of me.
Don't turn your back on me, baby.
Don't turn your back on me, baby.
Yes, don't turn your back on me, baby,
Don't mess around with your tricks;
Don't turn your back on me, baby,
'Cause you might just wake up my magic sticks.
Got your spell on me, baby
Got your spell on me, baby
Yes, you got your spell on me, baby
Turning my heart into stone
I need you so bad, magic woman
I can't leave you alone
Early this summer, we took the kids up to Sundance Ski Resort to ride on the lift. It was a gorgeous evening, and had a blast riding together on Ray's Lift.

In a future shaped by the harsh realities of the climate crisis, deserts have expanded across vast areas of the world. The scarcity of water and relentless drought have rendered the land barren, while devastating wildfires have eradicated vegetation and life. In this new world, where rain has become a rare luxury, new deserts have emerged in what were once fertile regions. Humanity had forgotten that there were once peoples who lived and thrived in the desert—the nomads of the Sahara.
By a remarkable stroke of luck, a large, forgotten library was discovered in the region formerly known as Timbuktu. This discovery became a revelation, a beacon of hope in an otherwise bleak time. The library contained invaluable manuscripts and wisdom from the past, which could unveil the secrets behind the nomads' ability to survive in harsh desert conditions. In the many caves and underground grottos around Timbuktu, ancient documents were unearthed, bringing new knowledge to light.
This photo series explores the rediscovery of this forgotten wisdom, providing a glimpse into how our ancestors navigated life's challenges in the desert. Through these images, ancient truths are brought to life once more, inspiring us to learn from the nomads of the past, as we seek new paths forward in a world grappling with climate change.
In the sands of time, where dunes now rise,
A future unfolds under sunburned skies.
Forgotten whispers of a people long gone,
Nomads who thrived in the desert's dawn.
From Timbuktu's hidden troves they emerge,
Ancient tomes with knowledge to purge.
Beneath the earth, in caves so deep,
The secrets of survival, awake from sleep.
The world once forgot these sun-scorched lands,
But hope rekindles with ink-stained hands.
From parchments brittle, wisdom flows,
As past and present in the desert grows.
Haikus:
Lost in shifting sands,
Ancient voices rise again,
Nomads’ truths untold.
Dust of ages past,
Timbuktu’s wisdom revealed,
Hope in arid lands.
I set off early to explore somewhere i have had my eye on for a while. that turned out to be easier than i thought
La terre est bleue
La terre est bleue comme une orange
Jamais une erreur les mots ne mentent pas
Ils ne vous donnent plus à chanter
Au tour des baisers de s’entendre
Les fous et les amours
Elle sa bouche d’alliance
Tous les secrets tous les sourires
Et quels vêtements d’indulgence
À la croire toute nue.
Les guêpes fleurissent vert
L’aube se passe autour du cou
Un collier de fenêtres
Des ailes couvrent les feuilles
Tu as toutes les joies solaires
Tout le soleil sur la terre
Sur les chemins de ta beauté.
Paul Eluard, L’amour la poésie, 1929
Went for a sunset shoot with Lucy down at Polkerris beach. Borrowed her lens (yes - everyone in the world now has a Sigma 10-20mm lens except me) and took this.

A few weeks ago we had a torrential downpour. I have't seen it rain like that in a long time. My kids asked if they could go out in it. I thought for a second and said go for it. I think if we let our kids explore the world in their own way we can spark their natural love of learning. Oh, and the rain turned out to be a blast, I even joined them!

Gangolihat is a small Himalayan hill town in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, India. It is tehsil and sub divisional headquarters of the district. Gangolihat is famous for its Shakti Peethas of Hat Kalika of goddess Kali. Nearby at 'Patal Bhubneshwar', underground caves are major tourist attraction. Also nearby are the tiny hill stations of Chaukori and Berinag.From Gangolihat Panchchuli peaks and Nanda Devi are clearly visible.
Gangolihat is located at
29.48°N 80.05°E. It has an average elevation of 1,760 metres (5,773 feet). It is 78 km from Pithoragarh. The main town is at a hill top. The region is surrounded by two rivers Saryu and Ramganga. Which meet at Ghat at the foothill of the region. These two rivers make it like a Garland on the shoulders of mighty Himalaya. These two rivers gave the name to the region Gang (River in local dialect) + Awali (Garland) making Gangawali. Which became Gangoli later on. and Hat were the main markets/ gathering place for local people in past. Which made the name of Gangolihat.
Gangolihat is native of Pant Brahmins mainly. Along with Pant's, Joshi's, Upreti's, Pathak's, Mahar's, Negi's, Bisht, Rawal's, Verma's, Shah and Aryas are other major surnames found.
Gangolihaat is famous for its ancient temples and underground caves. 'Haat Kalika', 'Ambika Dewaal', 'Chamunda Mandir', 'Vaishnavi Mandir' are some of the famous temples here. 'Vaishnavi Mandir' is a special one because from here one can clearly view the Himalayas. This temple is situated on a mountain that is called 'Shail Parvat', which is notable in Hindu holy books.
There are many beautiful underground caves in Gangolihaat. 'Patal Bhuvneshwar', 'Shailashwer Gufa' and 'Mukteshwar Gufa' are most notable ones. A new underground cave has been also found recently and that is called 'Bholeshwar Gufa'.
'Haat Kalika Mandir' was chosen by Adi Guru Sankaracharya for installation of Mahakali Shaktipeeth. It is believed that the Original Goddes Kalika Mata, which supposed to be in West Bangal, shifted her place form Bangal to Gangolihat. This Temple is very famous all over the India, specially among Indian Armed Forces. Posthumous Param Veer Chakra award winner Capt. Bikram Batra was a great devotee of Goddess. The goddess Mahakali is the designated goddess of brave Kumaun Regiment which proved its unmatched bravery and patriotism during all major wars fought by India. Kumaun regiment has created an Army Rest House near the Temple for Army Personnel, who come Gangloihat to get the blessing of Goddess.
There are historical monuments made during 8-11th century near the famous temple. Which is a site preserved by Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). It depicts the nervelessness of the artistic creation at that time.
The highest peak in the range, Lankeshwar is a great picnic place. The view of greenery rich valleys of Kumaun Himalayas from this hilltop is memorable and heavenly.
