"Free As A Bird"

 

Free as a bird

It's the next best thing to be

Free as a bird

 

Home, home and dry

Like a homing bird I'll fly

As a bird on wings

 

Whatever happened to

The life that we once knew?

Can we really live without each other?

 

Where did we lose the touch

That seemed to mean so much?

It always made me feel so...

 

Free as a bird

Like the next best thing to be

Free as a bird

 

Home, home and dry

Like a homing bird I'll fly

As a bird on wings

 

Whatever happened to

The life that we once knew?

Always made me feel so free

 

Ah...

Ah...

Ah...

 

Free as a bird

It's the next best thing to be

Free as a bird

Free as a bird

Free as a bird

Oooooo

 

Free...

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is a black and white day at Color my world Daily and we celebrate Sliders Sunday.

 

My weekend was super busy but very cool !! It was almost back to pre-pandemic era normal ! We had lots of kids over (my sons’s friends), my parents came and we had a power shortage !! I know that putting two exclamations points after a « power shortage » makes it feel like something very positive but in the end it was ! We had a BBQ with candles and lots of gin and tonic. It is hot as hell in Montreal right now so spending a night without AC was truly difficult but luckily for us the electricity came back just in time.

 

Today is my running day so I feel like this egg: I’m set free to go ! Since it is very hot, I will run inside. So far I did 295,2km this month and I hope I will get me badge (I know it is very insignificant but I have a very addictive personality !!) and be able to get to 400km until the end of this month…

Once again, with the power being out for more than 3 hours, I didn’t had the time to answer your comments. I will catch up as soon as possible…

 

Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! And see you soon !!

 

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !

Freedom is not about

the size of your cage

or power of your wings

or non-attachment to

a person or thing.

 

Freedom is about being so

truly, madly & deeply

attached to your own soul

that you can't bear -

if only for a moment -

a life that doesn't

honour it.

If I ever decide to give up on you, understand how much that took out of me. I'm the type to give endless chances, always have your back even when you're wrong, and truely accept you for who you are. When the rest of the world doesn't want you, I will. So if I decide to give up on you, understand it took everything I had left inside of me to leave you alone. Because if I love you and care for you, there isn't anything on the planet I won't do for you.

Every species, including human beings should be able to go anywhere they want, when they want and how they want. We must help the poor homeless and helpless refugees to have freedom and self respect again!

 

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

The blur and distortion match the "groupspeech" of the world I live in which is blurred and distorted along with any right of reply. The framing is also intentional to reflect the marginalisation of the common "man".

 

Every child born is an equal inheritor of Planet Earth whatever "they" try to tell you to the contrary to shape and mould you to stop you from being all you can be, The freedom to hold and express own's own individual thoughts is a core part of one's identity. Tame that en masse and you clip the wings of the masses.

Would you? In these contact- and closeness-avoiding times we could all do with more hugs. But would you accept a hug by a green huntsman spider? And is this a spider? Maybe it's a dew-covered spider that lurks in the darkness to surprise its unsuspecting "victims" with... a hug – a friendly, if rather wet hug. So maybe this is a new subspecies of huntsman spiders (Sparassidae), the green, glistening Hugsman Spider :)

 

Actually it is non of the above, but a simple sliders "accident", and what you see are the exact same leaves from my previous photo (please see the first comment) –, well, it is the same photo. As mentioned in my description for my previous image, I had processed it in HDR Efex. And the "accident" happened when I was done in HDR Efex and had returned to PS. I was wondering if I should use one of the layer blending modes to slightly soften the fairly bold look I had created in HDR Efex; I opted for the "Soft Light" blending mode, but accidentally activated the "Color Burn" blending mode instead: And all of a sudden this strange, spider-ish, alien creature looked at me, ready to hug :) And as for my previous image: I decided against the use of a blending mode, and only used the HDR Efex result for the final image.

 

Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, have a nice new week ahead, and always stay safe and take care!

 

In diesen kontaktbeschränkten, abstandswahrenden Zeiten könnten wir sicher alle mal eine zusätzliche Umarmung gebrauchen, oder? Aber muss es gleich die Umarmung einer Riesenkrabbenspinne sein? Und ist dies überhaupt eine Spinne? Vielleicht ist es eine, die im Schatten der Blätter eines Busches, von Tautropfen benetzt, auf ihre ahnungslose Beute lauert? Tatsächlich? Nun, Riesenkrabbenspinnen hören im Deutschen auch auf den charmanten Namen "Grüne Huschspinne" und hier handelt es sich wohl um ein besonders verhuschtes, ganz und gar freundliches Exemplar, hat sie doch nichts anderes im Sinn, als das nächstbeste Lebewesen, das an ihrem Versteck vorbeikommt, einmal herzhaft zu umarmen :-)

 

Tatsächlich sind dies genau dieselben, mit Regentropfen verzierten Blätter von meinem vorherigen Foto bzw. ist es das vorherige Foto (siehe den ersten Kommentar) in einer geringfügig anderen Bearbeitung. Nachdem ich mit den Anpassungen für das Blätterfoto in HDR Efex fertig war, hatte ich noch kurz überlegt, die Nik-Ebene mit der Ebene des Originalfotos zu überblenden, weil mir das HDR-Efex-Resultat zunächst etwas zu kräftig erschien. Mir schwebte "Abdunkeln" oder "Weiches Licht" vor, ich landete aber mit einem versehentlichen Klick bei "Farbig nachbelichten" – und auf einmal schaute mich dieses von tiefen Schatten umgebene, kuschelwütige Wesen an ;-) Da mir dieser "Bearbeitungsunfall" gefiel, habe ich beschlossen, einfach zwei Bilder aus dem Originalfoto zu machen :)

 

Ich wünsche Euch einen guten (und gut geschützten) Start in die neue Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

碧巖錄, The Blue Cliff Record, is a compilation of Chan Buddhist koans and commentary by Yuanwu Keqin (in Japanese, Engo), c. 1135, combining a few earlier collections. Koans are brief, puzzling anecdotes, often humorous and/or ironic, which generations of Zen students have used to free their minds.
