I can't now recall whether this was on the door of a Church or the Cathedral ... I do remember that it was impossible to get the whole building in the image due to the cramped positioning of the surrounding buildings, which adds to the charm of the area but is no help to photographers!

I had the fun of finding this mantis as it moved around on the balcony. It was kind enough to stick around while I shot a few pictures of it. I even had the fun of having it on my hand for a short time.

me and my friend. i always miss him

Two hands lifting me up from the ground...

Two hands wiping my tears...

Two hands caressing my hair...

Two hands giving unconditional love...

Your paradise hands...my forever guardian angels !!

Hand in hand

Hal realising he has hands and he can control them !!

what if you could jump back or forward in time?

what would you do? where would you go?

I know what to do, definitely.

But I know it is not mine to choose.

I also know not to delve on the impossible.

So I may as well use my time well.

And do more substantial things in the real world.

Now if I could just have a few more minutes of surfing :p

Asleep of hands...

She lay peacefully content in the comfort of home with the moon and stars glisten and sparkle through her window echoing silk reflections on her curtains in their delicate materials her light enveloping the nights shadows as she slowly drifts to sleep in her visionary dreams where numbers of hands ethereal glowing began to float, echo and recede in sweet harmony above her as if watching over her and slowly floating to her window on the night of silvery moon where light transcends through out time and space to leave feelings of peace and serenity in her visionary dreams where freedom resides.....

I am thinking about the very brave, courageous Israeli people right now and all of the innocent people there who are suffering, l pray for peace to the Israeli people to the world soon.

A message to all women in the world... Freedom resides deep within You!! You are precious, unique individuals !! Freedom of choice and expression is your human right. Sending love and light!!

I am thinking about humanity in art and the struggles many artists woman face in their art/ life. That ,pain we feel suffering real things that empower art the energy that moves resides deep within you that ignites it, We mustn't lose our essence, listen to your inner voice that helps you stay true and be free to express yourself as an artist creator an individual. This is precious!! It is important we stay true....

My heart goes out to the very brave, courageous Ukrainian people and all innocent people who are suffering through this war. l pray for peace and harmony soon to the Ukrainian people to the world. Stay strong !

I'm standing

on the edge of a precipice and

the ground under my feet

is burning

I won't rise from the ashes

Ivy's affinity for animals doesn't only attract the cute and lovely ones, she also gets the naughty ones like Mr Bad Fox here. He's grumpy but still a sweetheart underneath <3

This may or may not be as good as the last picture I posted...but thought I'd share with you all another one from the shoot.

It was finally nice enough in the upper Midwest USA to play outside early this past week. Our granddaughter asked to play with bubbles. Have a great week!
