Trying to forget
someone you love
is like trying to
remember someone
you never met.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
In Flanders Fields by John McRae
I love these little flowers brightening up the grass verges and corners of our garden at the moment - I think the tiny, furry purple buds are almost as pretty as the flowers :)
Forget the heat,
forget the palm trees,
forget the beaches,
forget the souks,
forget the couscous,
forget the architecture,
forget Marrakech,
we're on our way to the summit of Dejebel Toubkal, highest mountain in Morocco.
In a legend, God named all the plants but when a tiny unnamed one cried out, "Forget-me-not, O Lord!" God replied, "That shall be your name."
Another legend tells when the Creator thought he had finished giving the flowers their colours, he heard one whisper "Forget me not!" There was nothing left but a very small amount of blue, but the forget-me-not was delighted to wear such a light blue shade.
Whatever the source of it's name it's a lovely welcome to Spring.
“Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.” - Khalil Gibran

Feia molt de temps que no pujava de caça pel Bages. Els trens de mercaderies que mou FGC sempre m'han atret molt i semblava mentida que fes tant de temps que no anés a per ells. Així doncs, enganyant a l'Aleix i a en Carles, he tingut la sort de rememorar aquells matins que pujava per la zona minera amb en Lluís. Primer hem preguntat a l'estació de Manresa quina era la previsió, sent només el potasser qui circularia. Ràpidament hem sortit cap al punt de Pineda de Bages, perseguint-lo per fer una segona foto minuts després a la rasclosa de Martorell.
Hacía mucho tiempo que no subía de caza por el Bages. Los trenes de mercancías que mueve FGC siempre me han atraído mucho y parecía mentira que hiciera tanto tiempo que no fuera a por ellos. Así pues, engañando a Aleix y a Carles, he tenido la suerte de rememorar aquellas mañanas que subía por la zona minera con Lluís. Primero hemos preguntado en la estación de Manresa cuál era la previsión, siendo sólo el potasero el que circularía. Rápidamente salimos hacia el punto de Pineda de Bages, persiguiéndole para hacer una segunda foto minutos después a la rasclosa de Martorell.

I went along at 11 this morning, but didn't feel comfortable taking any shots, so I went back later in the afternoon to get this one.
HDR from 3 handheld shots.
Will be back shortly to check your streams.
I'm such a bad contact, really. I haven't uploaded for weeks, months or whatever. I don't really want to say that I'm back now but I will upload again because I sort of missed Flickr. Nevertheless I won't be that active again as in the past. I'm somehow struggling with life. I'm finish with school, I don't know what to do and where my talents are. I would love to write for a newspaper but realizing that I'm not good enough is more than hard.
Furthermore my family is battling with sicknesses. My mom might have cancer and I just don't want this to happen. I want to make her proud. I want her to be old and seeing me growing up. Sorry for writing all that but that somehow depresses me.
I'm not the person I have been in the past anymore. I'm stronger now, more grown up and a lover of life. I had beautiful days with my friends during the last weeks and I don't know but maybe I will find my strength someday again...

"Ah Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?..."
Romeo and Juliet, Dire Straits 1980
