Pas facile, les bulles de savon en hiver..mais ça sera à pratiquer pour faire mieux la prochaine fois :)
Blowing bubbles is not easy in winter .. but I will be practicing to do better next time :)
This is one of my older images but I thought it was perfect for this week's theme - Emotion.
One of the more emotional shots I have on my stream. No sense in trying to recreate it.
HMM
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

I don't know if everyone is getting so many small things going wrong with Flickr at the moment. It seems as if everything I try to do goes wrong or takes too long to work. Stats are a mess.
Last night and this morning, 2 November 2017, we had our first major fall of snow in the city (at least in my part of the city). Still snowing this afternoon, and I'm just thankful I don't have to go anywhere today. Temperature is -10C (windchill -18C) at around 1:30 pm. Stay warm, everyone, and drive safely!
Again, all three photos posted this morning were taken three days ago, on 30 October 2017. They show what a varied day I had. I spent the day driving mostly roads that I had been along before (a round trip of 230 km). I still find a few roads so confusing! My destination was partly to check on two old barns that I had only seen and photographed once before. Having been there with my daughter in January 2015, I knew that there were several other old barns and homesteads en route. This day was definitely a barn day, not a bird or wildlife day. I added a touch of filter in post-processing, to bring out a bit more detail.
The large barn in a photo I posted the day before yesterday was one that I had been looking forward to finding and seeing for the first time, which I finally did in January 2015, with my daughter. I would love to have been able to get photos from both sides of it, but it was in a farmer's field that was, of course, private property.
The second old barn that I saw in this area is in far worse condition, but I love it. It was funny, because I was standing in the road and had already taken a handful of photos of this crumbling, weathered structure, when I noticed someone walking towards me in the distance. Talk about deja vu! I started walking towards her and it turned out that she lived at the farm just down the road, but had previously lived in the house next to this decaying barn and it was her property. She told me to wander wherever I wished, take as many photos as I wanted. I laughed and said that in January 2015, when my daughter and I had been standing right there in the road, a lady came by on her horse and told us the very same story - it must have been the same person! Felt so good!
Another place I stopped at was a farmyard full of old barns, sheds and vehicles. I pulled over and got out to take a quick shot of an old, blue truck from across the road. A person happened to just appear, walking across his farmyard, so I called out to him and we had a delightful chat. I think he was very amused at my passion for old things and told me to walk around and take whatever photos I wanted. Which I did, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself! The blue truck in a photo posted two days ago was just one of several old vehicles, mainly cars. I told him what an amazing place he had, full of interesting things. I got the impression that he saw things very differently - lots of old things that needed fixing or tidying up : ) I told him to just leave everything as it is - a photographer's dream : )
On the way home, I called in at the Saskatoon Farm to see if the restaurant was still open, but it had just closed (3:30 pm). I realized I had been enjoying myself so much that I had totally forgotten to eat anything all day. Managed to get a much-needed cup of coffee, though, and I did buy a box of frozen, uncooked Saskatoon Berry and White Chocolate scones. I bought some of these last time I was there and they are so good, piping hot, straight out of the oven.
The ground is starting to get frosty and small puddles get fragile icy surface. Kuuva / Ruissalo area in Turku, Finland.
The fragility of the light drew my attention to go out ant take some shots… I haven't been to this location for a while but I knew that this wind-shaped tree was there and would complement the lens distortion.
Shot taken at Broekweg, Zoeterwoude (Netherlands) with a Sigma 10-20 F11 and a Hitech hard grad ND filter.
We all have a dame like this in our past.
You know the kind.
The one that stole your heart…
Then, later, ripped it right out of your chest.
The face of an angel,
And the devil horns on top to prove it.
When you look into those eyes, you see heaven.
Hard to say how or when things went so bad.
And the answers ain’t at the bottom of a bottle, either.
It was brilliant when you met her.
Then that brilliance shattered.
Fragile.

“The breath of wind that moved them was still chilly on this day; the flowers gently resisted, curling up with a kind of trembling grace and turning their pale stamens towards the ground. The sun shone through them, revealing a pattern of interlacing, delicate blue veins, visible through the opaque petals; this added something alive to the flower's fragility, to it's ethereal quality, something almost human ,in the way that human can mean frailty and endurance both at the same time. The wind could ruffle these ravishing creations but it couldn't destroy them, or even crush them; they swayed there, dreamily; they seemed ready to fall but held fast to their slim strong branches-...”

A shot from the backyard this morning. There where a few more of these fellows, some with damaged wings, hence the title of my shot.
A frozen bloom this morning, nearly as cold as my fingers! I'm a bit late starting Project Flickr this year but my resolution is to try and keep up.! So apologies for posting late....

- Lío 2.0 : Reto 2.0 - 30: Sin rostro. (Del 30 de mayo al 5 de junio)
Tratar de esconder tu fragilidad te incapacita para aceptarte como eres. Admitir tu vulnerabilidad es el mejor modo de alimentar tu propia fortaleza. No te escondas, asume que eres así, no te empeñes en confundir a los demás porque solo te engañarás a ti mismo. Abrazar tu debilidad hará que seas capaz de aceptar todo aquello que pueda dolerte, pero a la vez te dará capacidad para entender que de todo se puede salir...
--------------------------------------
He de reconocer que el reto de Lío 2.0 me traía de cabeza esta semana, jajaja... En serio, cuando tienes poco tiempo y la mente en mil cosas se vuelve uno obtuso, las ideas no solo se esfuman, establecer prioridades se vuelve el objetivo número uno.
Ayer di el carpetazo al final de la tarde, lo dejé todo, salí de casa con la meta de encontrar algo para taparme el rostro, afortunadamente encontré una caja de cartón con la medida perfecta y en dos de sus caras estaba impreso el texto "MUY FRAGIL", así que se iluminó la bombilla, cogí la mochila de la cámara, la moto y en unos minutos me planté en un bosque cercano y lo suficientemente tranquilo para hacer unas pocas de pruebas... Trípode, teléfono móvil conectado a la cámara (sólo en esta imagen, en la otra usé el enfoque puntual a un árbol cercano) ¡Y fuera ropa! Disfruté mucho esta sesión fotográfica, solo algún caminante al pasar perturbó un poco mi flujo de trabajo, bueno, más que ellos en sí, sus caras de sorpresa...
