"...its fragile grace."
Marcel Proust
"Gather ye rose-buds while ye may;
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying."
Robert Herrick

Somehow. .. we're both...
- BTW: At the moment I am very busy with all kind of things. Please don't mind if my comments for your photos are lagging behind a bit... ;)
Wish you a happy week, dear friends!

The counterpart shot for Delicate...They go together well. This shot also has duel meaning in its title. While the flowers themselves are fragile and delicate in their own right...the hand holding them is just as fragile and delicate for they are stricken with juvenille rheumatoid arthritis.
A photo I took for an art competition - I was honoured to be recognized in the top 6 or so out of many outstanding submissions!
The description given for the competition: The curled grasses blew in the wind, moving in and out of focus through my lens; I noticed that in this simple structure, as in the more complex human heart, everything is in a fragile balance. I was reminded of the strength and vulnerability of this life-sustaining organ.
not agile.......
This sums up how I feel on day 6 of my throat infection! Luckily the antibiotics have kicked in and the throat spray numbs it enough to allow me to eat! The constant headaches and lathargy still annoy me though. I'm bored of being tired and lying down all the time!
We arrived at Sans les Marquoin British Cemetery early on a bright March morning and entered the cemetery via the steps flanked by some flowering heather. The ranks of headstones faced us bathed in the early spring sun and to our right a butterfly, the first we had seen of the season, made its uncertain way past us.
To our astonishment, our little companion flew ahead, its apparently random flight path terminating on the very headstone that we sought, Gunner Harold Victor Mansell of Peaslake, Surrey, alighting to the side of the inscription that Harold's grieving mother had composed:
" In loving memory of dear Harold from Mother, Walter, Gracie, Kathleen "
This red admiral, so familiar in an English garden, held its damaged wings wide to welcome the spring sunshine and remained still on the headstone as we took our photographs and reflected on whether Harold's mother, Walter, Gracie or Kathleen had had the chance to visit Harold's grave, an ephemeral symbol of the vulnerability of life, before taking once again to the air.
As we walked amongst the headstones of the young men of Harold's war who had lost their lives a century ago our aerial companion made its way around the ranks, regularly passing us as we stopped and talked, subsequently appearing flying through numerous photographs, until finally we bid our farewell and left the men at Sans les Marquoin to their fragile friend.
The owner was inside, at this hair salon, and left the poor thing at the door, shaking in fear of everyone walking by...
I wouldn't normally be a fan of chihuauas, but this one was adorable and I wanted to hug him...

Cleaned of the covering of plaster, this wall shows large fractures. This brick front has been put on an older, timber-framed structure.

There are only 2 bulrush heads remaining in a local pond. One has been shredded by the wind, the other looks to be more robust.

After waiting weeks for a delivery, it has arrived. And I am so disappointed ... pretty sure that these aren't what I ordered ... so now the whole "checking and refunding" starts ...
@dailyshoot: 2010/02/17: Fragility conveys tension. Make a photo today of a person or object in a fragile state. #ds94
Not much more than we take for granted as being there rock solid forever, 4.2 billion years in the making, than our little lump of rock.
I do have my doubts.

A long wooden beam appears to be supporting the roof timbers. It's rotten. What's supporting the parapet here?
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Linda Thomas-Greenfield, ex-British Foreign Secretary David Miliband and Elizabeth Cousens, a former top American diplomat at the United Nations, join U.S. Institute of Peace President Nancy Lindborg for a conversation about the connections among state fragility, violent conflict, and humanitarianism. The discussion on June 3 took place as the U.N. finalizes its Sustainable Development Goals for adoption at a U.N. Summit in New York in September.

We went out to shoot for the 07_07_07 group and it was raining and we thought this might not be a sign of good luck. However, we have been in a prolonged drought, so the rain was welcomed, and my wife had this great idea to visit the local Botanical Garden to catch the water on the flowers. :-) Thanks baby!
Packages in the mail, in fact a new hard drive and a couple of sticks of memory, all now installed :-)
