Out of all the decay, something steady still grows.
Found these tucked into the roots one afternoon.
The small, hidden places are teaching me patience again.

Une petite bâtisse de pierre, vestige discret de la campagne, se dresse face à un ciel menaçant. Les verts saturés des prairies contrastent avec les nuages lourds d’orage, créant une tension visuelle qui raconte la force tranquille du monde rural. Entre la rusticité des matériaux, la modernité des outils agricoles laissés au repos et la nature environnante, la photo capte ce mélange de permanence et de fragilité qui définit la vie à la campagne.

🇬🇧 Light seeps through the ruins,
touching what time tried to erase.
The air is thick with absence — yet something still breathes,
a quiet resilience beneath the decay.

In August while exploring the mountains in the Aspen area, I stumbled across this incredible place. Astonishingly the snow was still melting down the mountain sides at this point because of the great amount of snow we received last winter. This was also close to an area where the avalanches had caused much damage to the mountain sides of trees. Driving past the rows and rows of flattened trees was eerily fascinating. Finding this little place tucked away into the mountain side completely untouched was quite a thrill.The mist covered the entirety of the mountain peak and even as I stood there the mist slowly crept down the mountain side. You can't tell from the picture but there was quite a drizzle happening. I'm glad no one was there to see me huddling on my knees next to my tripod spreading my jacket in the air over my camera to prevent the rain from soaking it while getting this long exposure haha. Crazy things we do to get the shot we want. (If I knew it was going to rain I'd have brought an umbrella! Another thing to add to my list of things to keep in the car lol) I didn't stay here too long, maybe 20 minutes tops because of the steady rain and the promise of a frightful drive through the fog. But what an atmosphere, what a mood I felt here. It is one of those places where you could speak your deepest secrets out loud and only feel the comfort of the silence, the reassuring gurgle of the water in front of you. Dark watchers of the trees in the background making no move to comfort, to reprimand, only to listen.
I'd love to go back soon but unfortunately with all the snow happening recently I'm afraid it'll have to wait til next Spring. At least I know where its at though and I'm confident it will keep all my secrets ;)
Thanks for listening to my ramblings as always. And thank you for such kind comments, you have no idea how encouraging you all are to me to keep photographing even if for myself. thank you, thank you, thank you. xx
love always, Rachel

North Berwick's beautiful coastline is known for its stunning sunsets, and this image captures the magic of a sunset over Bass Rock and the nearby beach. The golden sands of the beach provide the perfect foreground to this breathtaking view, while the vibrant hues of the sky add to the beauty of the scene.

Hello friends,
Happy New Year! Well here I am emerging from the "dark". It's been a long couple of months. Well if we're going to be honest, it was long year?! But the year seemed to have culminated the last three months and I'm not going to lie - it's been rough waters over here. I won't get too deep into my personal life but I believe this year is going to be better. Is it because I think it will be easier somehow? I honestly believe this year will rival last year in terms of difficulties BUT I believe I've grown. How could I not? I've been stretched a hundred different ways out of what my definition of normal was. (As I know so many of you have been as well...)
° My faith has been challenged...
°and renewed.
°My hope has faltered
° but been steadied.
So here I am for better or worse. I want to thank you you all for the congratulations many of you sent me for placing in Flickr's top 25 of 2020. I was absolutely positively blown away to have placed. Today I was logging in and I gasped when I saw my own picture on the login page. What a HUGE honor... I also realized today due to logging in and going through my inbox (thanks to my dear friend Nick (@nrg_crisis ) that I was nominated in Flickr's 100 Members to Follow: www.flickr.com/photos/flickr/galleries/72157716008787368/
This is by nomination only! Thank you Nick! And thank you so much to anyone who is currently following me and who nominated me. I am so truly humbled and grateful. Truly blown away as I still remember the first time I posted here in 2015. I was nervous... anxious. A little worried about diving in with so many talented photographers. This community has been the most kindest and helpful creative platform by far... Thank you with all of my heart for following & supporting me <3
Many of you have been here with me since the beginning - reading my ramblings and late night thoughts throughout the last several years. Thank you <3
Finally reaching the end of this long winded narrative - I hope you enjoy the picture of this beautiful fox I captured from last year. It was late evening and the grain is a little bit much for my liking. The black and white version really added some intrigue and mystery to this little fellow. There are so many pictures I don't end up sharing bc they aren't "perfect" to me. But I desperately need to get in touch with my inner creativity again, in whatever aspect even if in the imperfections. I will share the colored version later. I would love to know which you prefer.
Dear friends, I wish you the very very best of this year.
Much love always,
Rachel

Happy Tuesday friends,
I hope your summer has been going well! The summer is flying by but I am fully satisfied that I am squeezing every ounce of sunshine out of the days as they go by. ;) My favorite thing about Summer is how long the evenings are. In the late fall and winter days golden hour is around 4:30 pm and the night is completely black by 5:30. What an amazing difference in the summer where images like this one are taken around 9:00 pm!
This is at Vallecito lake near Durango. My session was over and I stuck around for this picture as the view of the mountains across the lake was too glorious to leave just yet.
This year has been different for me in terms of portraiture. At the end of last year I felt utterly and completely spent. Burned out. Doing portrait work for me has been one of incredibly mixed feelings. It culminated in the symptoms of carpel tunnel that I began to developing at the beginning of the year. Working with people is a mixed blessing, like any job you get the chance to meet incredible souls, beautiful people who appreciate me and admire, support and love the work that I do and put into your session. And then you meet people who will try to take advantage of you, talk you down and be cruel just to get a better "deal". I've worked with people for mutual brand exposure - I photograph them and give them complimentary (i.e. free!) images and they in turn agree and sign a contract stating they will give bountiful credit to my work. These same people have taken the images and then turned around completely disregarded our agreement, failing to even tag me in the pictures being posted or credit me in any way. I learned the hard way to no longer show people all their images in a gallery for them to choose from after I found images screenshot and cropped with my watermark no longer present on it. "Stolen images" from the gallery so they wouldn't have to pay for the extras they wanted. I've slaved over galleries, including extras for clients, putting heart and soul into their session only to send it off and never hear anything back. To say that it's discouraging would be an understatement. It's difficult for me not to take these types of situations personal. Everything about my work is personal. I don't think people fully realize or maybe even care, how many hours go into their session and what the broken contracts, or stolen images actually mean or translate. As a stay at home Mom, I went into this fully hoping and believing I could make it work as a part time job to contribute to our family finances. I was so naive in thinking it would ever be a part time job! all of the behind the scenes part of running a business made this an easily 60+ hours a week job. I believe that when the symptoms of carpel tunnel hit it had a lot more to do with stress levels than it did physically. I took a complete step back not only from social media but my business. Interestingly, the intense pains in my hands vanished after a few months.
I'm at the point now where my passions are ever bubbling, overflowing. I love photography, I love being outdoors, meeting new people, being inspired by the amazing community around me. But I've had to draw a stark line boundary wise in my portrait work. I take a much smaller number of clients, usually only by referral from clients I love and respect. This was a hit to our finances and honestly I'll have to be looking for another source of income to keep the contribution the same. But it's been worth it in many other ways, peace of mind and soul. Taking that break gave me the opportunity to really step back and examine why I do what I do. Why do I love photography? How can I eliminate anything that is souring this creative process for me? What can I do to create boundaries so that creativity isn't squelched? And how can I make this into something profitable enough that it justifies the time spent in doing it?
Still finding the answers to these questions but moving back into what I love which is more outdoors and family time has been crucial to healing both physically and spiritually.
Time and time again I'm drawn back to my Flickr community. The life that is shared here, the stories that come with it, you fellow photographers who are doing what you love for the sole purpose of creating. I love you all to pieces. And the kind comments I receive here are a healing balm on my soul. So thank you - a huge thank if you've made it to the end of this abnormally longer epistle, and thank you for just being one of the voices on this page who support me in doing what I love and continue to be a home here on Flickr.
Much love always, Rachel

🇬🇧 Under the archway, life pulses in scattered rhythms. The crowded corridor opens onto a lane veiled in shadows and sun, where intimacy and anonymity coexist. The architecture frames a silent procession — modern, timeless, Italian.

🇫🇷 Sous la voûte, la vie bat à contre-temps. Ce corridor bondé s’ouvre sur une ruelle baignée d’ombre et de soleil, où l’intime et l’anonyme cohabitent. L’architecture encadre une procession silencieuse — moderne, intemporelle, italienne.
🇬🇧 In the dim light of a covered market, work unfolds without spectacle.
He stands behind the counter, between carcasses and conversations, embodying a craft that blends ritual and necessity.
Not a scene performed — but a life repeated, day after day, with silent pride.

🇫🇷 Sous la lumière tamisée d’un marché couvert, le travail se déroule sans mise en scène.
Il est là, derrière son étal, entre carcasses et conversations, incarnant un métier qui mêle rituel et nécessité.
Pas une scène jouée — mais une vie répétée, jour après jour, avec une fierté silencieuse.
Witnessing the tranquil beauty of dusk from Calton Hill is a moment that will stay with you forever. As the day draws to a close, the snow-covered Pentland Hills provide a stunning backdrop to the cityscape, while the lit buildings below create a magical ambiance.

Cassia bakeriana, commonly called pink shower tree is native to forested areas of Thailand and Myanmar. This tree is now grown primarily as an ornamental in tropical and subtropical areas around the world. It is noted for producing a showy display of fragrant pink-purple flowers with yellow stamens which bloom in early spring (March-April) in 4-10” long drooping racemes (20-40 flowers per raceme).
