There’s an old Hawaiian legend tied to the ohia tree and its flower, the lehua blossom: One day Pele, the goddess of volcanos, met a handsome warrior named Ohia and she asked him to marry her. But Ohia had already pledged his love to Lehua. Pele was furious when Ohia turned down her marriage proposal, so she turned Ohia into a twisted tree. Lehua was heartbroken. The gods took pity on Lehua and decided it was an injustice to have Ohia and Lehua separated. So, they turned Lehua into a flower on the o'hia tree so that the two lovers would be forever joined together. So you should never pick a lehua blossom from an o'hia tree.
Hope you have a wonderful week! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all. I'm so far behind with everything I may never catch up!

I was feeling alone, cold and heartbroken yesterday. Did a total of 10 drafts for this pic before finally settling on this version that i'm satisfied with, encapsulating every emotion that i was feeling yesterday.

"Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best, for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah."

An impressive new work for this well known wall in Hanbury Street - the best since The Octiphant I reckon.
Fairport Baptist Homes is in the background. I have volunteered there since 2013, when my mom was a residen for 3 years. After her death, I've continued to volunteer and have become close with residents and staff. This Independant/assisted living/long term care facility originated in 1904, a mission of the Baptist Church: and though unafilliated formally in the 1970's, it has remained a non-profit, caring, spiritual and reasonably priced facility. Last year it was reated #13 our of 600 in New York State for quality of care. Covid hit hard though and Fairport Baptist had no choice but to decalre bankruptcy - another non-profit home in Rochester was lending a hand and planned to purchase FBH, but they were WAY outbid by a huge "for-profit" company that operates over 100 nursing homes, mostly in Texas and Florida and has a poor reputation. I am heartbroken for the residents and staff of my beloved Fairport Baptist.
Sally and I had to say "goodbye" to Charlie on Wednesday. He had a number of significant problems (enlarged gall bladder, mass in his urinary bladder, heart murmur), but until Monday he was running, playing, his normal bossy magnificent self. Then he quit eating, and started getting some neurological symptoms. On his last day, he was restless, but visited all of his favorite spots for a few minutes each--the sofa cushions, each of the two window perches on the sofa back, even the cat enclosure (with 2 cats standing very close in a protective way). And one new place (next shot). This was the last photograph I took of him.
We are heartbroken, and I normally try to keep my photo posting upbeat. This loss has hit hard, though, and I find I need to share it with my flickr community. Charlie was a special cat. Surrendered to the shelter at 6yrs old, he lived for a year in a small cage before Goathouse Refuge rescued him. We adopted him at 7 years old, but he enriched our lives so much in the seven years he was with us.
I loaded a splash of photographs of Charlie that never made it to my photostream, but that I still like.
several years ago I was accused of posting these black photos when an awful massacre occurred in order to garner faves.
please don't fave this.
I post these because I am heartbroken for the victims, dead and alive.
my sorrow to El Paso, TX for the slaughter there today [aug 3].
earlier this week we had another one in California where 3 were killed, 2 children and a young man.
and there was yet another shooting in Southhaven, Mississippi where two walmart co-workers were killed.
El Paso sadly suffered many deaths and injured.
El Paso suffered domestic terrorism, a hate crime. it may turn out that hispanics, immigrants were targeted.
the NRA and mr trump should be proud. the shooter killed with an AK-47 legally purchased in Texas.
wikipedia:
As of January 1, 2016, holders of a Texas CHL or LTC are able to openly carry handguns in the same places that allow concealed carry with some exceptions. Openly carried handguns must be in a shoulder or belt holster. Existing CHL holders may continue to carry with a valid license.
where were all these gun totin' citizens when this murderer was killing?
IMHO it takes more than a license to be able to react properly in a mass shooting incident.
white supremacists are probably not composed of any nice people.
conspiracy theorists: if you feel that the government is staging these slaughters in order to legislate no guns for US citizens so the populace can be controlled, it's not working.
mr trump needs to admit that his rhetoric is causing hatred. this is a country of diversity, not a country of all-white fundamentalist christians. [who own guns]
I am, again, sick to my stomach.
This is from last Spring. One of the two juveniles shortly before they fledged (one parent in the nest on the left).
This American Bald Eagle nest has been active and produced babies for almost 12 years.
Hurricane Irma completely devastated the decade old nest in September, 2017. The mated pair came back though and began the rebuilding.
When they had a nice nest built, and started breeding ... a mated pair of Great Horned Owls moved in and took over the nest. I have learned this year that it's common for them to hijack existing nests.
I haven't been out much, but reports and photos show the female GHO in the Eagles' nest and they are sure she's sitting on eggs which should hatch shortly.
The Eagles were pictured this past week still showing up near the nest, but it's otherwise occupied for the year.
Will the Eagles come back next year? Many people will be heartbroken if they don't.
i have to go say goodbye in awhile. i cannot stop crying. i can't believe it. it happened so fast.
i love her so much. she was my first baby.
hurts so bad.
This is an old photo which I have re-jigged a bit. Its a bit of a tribute to our Ada, who is sadly no longer with us. We miss her like you wouldn't believe and are completely heartbroken. There will probably be a few Ada tributes to come over the coming months.
Farewell Ada. May you always have blue skies above and green fields below.

About two to three years ago I lost my baby, my best friend, my two year old German shepherd Dakota to cancer. I was so heartbroken that I thought that I would never get another dog until I saw this 4 year old cutie name chewy. I must say that she is smart and obedient...But she can be one stubborn little girl, and can ignore you like nobodies business..lol..love my little big girl 🐕 💕💕💕
I really did lost myself you know?
All those months have gone by and I just existed.
There were days that I just stood there and kept looking to the emptiness of my heart.
I lost myself and who I was, I knew nothing and every day I woke up and I faked smile to that person looking back at me in the mirror. I didn't know what she wanted from me.
I still don't know what it is that I want.
I know I lost my spark and I try to take it back every day. Little by little I will succeed, I have to.
I know it seems that I stopped grieving to those who are around me all day long, yet in me a tornado is still going, ripping everything apart. Maybe this is what it's supposed to happen. Destroy everything so someday everything shall regrowth.
that could've been and never was :-)

weathered exterior of an abandoned structure, alta, Colorado
Alta (near Telluride), Colorado
Elevation: ca. 11,800 ft.
The remnants of this ghost town still remain, some as little as heaps of wood, others as frames, and some as full structures. Alta was a small mining town between Telluride and Rico housing a population of a few hundred. Gold was discovered here first in 1878 by Jack Mann, then population trends alternated up through World War II. An aerial tramway moved the ore to the mill below. This was the first mine to use AC current. The Mill burnt down in 1948. Some famous residents were George Westinghouse, Nikola Tesla, and others who made the town what it became. Through the years, the remnants of the town were vandalized after the last residents left and most of what remains has been destroyed
This photo was made on another memorable day. My wife and I were both on parenting leave last September. The baby was four months old and I was jonesing for a day of photography. I dropped the two older kids off at school and daycare, and she graciously agreed to watch the baby while I went out for a day in the woods. I headed to Monadnock to get my mountain fix, and was able to enjoy a nice day in the woods and make it back in time to pick the kids up at the end of the school day.
Having hiked the mountain many times before, I was in no rush to see the summit, especially since I figured it would be crowded on such a beautiful early fall day. I took one of the trails less traveled to avoid the crowds and allowed myself to be completely sidetracked by a small pool in a brook filled with oils and biofilms. Sometimes you just gotta roll with whatever catches your eye. I spent a long time making compositions and playing with the reflection of the sun. Ultimately, after a lot of deliberation and consultation with friends, family, and peers, this was the photo that rose to the top of the curation contest. It's funny because when I made the photos that day, I wouldn't say this was the one that I knew would end up being my favorite.
After I wrapped up the biofilm photo session I began to high-tail it up the mountain. I found a patch of vibrant yellow ferns that had turned colors early and stopped for a photo break. I had packed a summit beer, which I usually reserve for the summit, but knowing that Monadnock would be crowded, I decided to make an exception and celebrate early and enjoy in peace with the yellow ferns. You can imagine my surprise when I cracked the can open and immediately an army of teenagers appeared out of nowhere, marching in groups of 3 or 4 up the trail. I didn't want to be the weird guy drinking beer by himself in the woods with the huge camera, so I hid it behind a rock and stole sips when there was a gap in their ranks as I photographed the ferns. Maybe that's even weirder. I don't know.
As far as the title is concerned, it raises a question I have about personally expressive photography and metaphors in landscape photography. I named the photo "Heartbroken" because the fractured leaf looks like a drawing of a broken heart. But luckily, I don't feel heartbroken at all. In fact, my heart was especially full of love and gratitude on that day as my wife gave me the gift of watching the baby so I could go spend a day in the woods. Does this make the photo a lie since the metaphor was not actually a translation of my feelings? I don't think so. I don't think a landscape photo needs to be connected to the photographer's internal feelings. But I recognize that could be difficult to reconcile with a philosophy that some folks have that their photographs are an outward expression of what they have going on internally.
Perhaps too heavy of a topic to be resolved by a guy that sneaks beers in the woods.
love can be a cruel, cruel game.
i'm not too keen on the tones and whatnot.
this will be the last of the pale, minimal style for a while before my photostream gets completely same-y.

HBW 😊😊😍
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
After eighteen years of marriage and twenty years together, my wife and I have filed for divorce. I never thought that two people could part ways and remain friends, but we are both trying very hard to do just that. There are no ongoing dramatic fights, just two people who changed but didn't change together. If there's something I have learned it's that you can only be in a one-sided relationship for so long. Relationships take work, and if both people are not in it or contributing after so long, it's best to move forward- even if it is apart from one another.
I am sad. I am heartbroken. But I at the same time I am also hopeful, believing in love still, believing that there is that sunshine in the future. I have not been myself for a while and this is why... but I believe that in the coming year I will find that side of Chris again, and find that joy in my life. The hardest thing for me will never getting to see her again, but if we can stay relative and stay friends in each others' lives- I'll take that.

i really don't know these fish, other than the really big ones, the really small ones or the one with the white spot, but i would be heartbroken if anything happened to any of them.
Been lost and wondering what I have done wrong and why men are like they are. Lost for words, can't believe, he ghosted me after he said how important family was to him and how much he loved me, and how I was going be his queen. I mean are the actually any good men out there..... #Zeek #Gay #Sexy #male #Heartbroken 3

Love
is a beautiful word.
I grew up with the perception and the belief that when love comes, it’ll come sweeping me off of my feet.
But no one warned me that-
Love doesn’t come without a price,
Love comes in an unexpected wave of emotions.
But love also gives you pain,
A pain that only you are privileged enough to feel.
Ultimately,
Love taught me that it is worth waiting for,
and it is worth fighting for.
And that is why,
loving yourself is the hardest because YOU are worth fighting for.
So fight,
and never look back.
Kmart Discount Store located at 10321 East 21st St. in Tulsa,OK. This store which opened on November 9th 1972 is closing on September 3rd 2017. This store was the first of four stores located in the City of Tulsa and ended up being the last of the four stores in operation. I had the pleasure of meeting an employee known among the crew as "Mrs. Leanne". She had worked at this store since 1977 and had very fond memories of working for the Kmart Corporation. She was heartbroken when she learned of the closure of "her" store but knew the day would come once Eddie Lampert became CEO of the Company. One of her favorite memories was the daily store meetings held in the Kmart Restaurant where the employees and managers would chain smoke discussing the daily blue light specials. The future of the building is unknown.
sono tornata e stava già facendo giorno.
un giorno nuovo, diverso.
allora ho deciso di spogliarmi,
di togliermi le scarpe.
di struccarmi.
di vedere la mia faccia come è davvero.
di coprirmi con la mia coperta di soffici piume
e di non viverlo questo nuovo giorno.
questo giorno diverso.
no.
finche non posso innamorarmi ancora di te
non voglio viverlo questo nuovo giorno.
spegni al luce e lasciami.
..for those, who knew me as the (not so talented) shutterbug...well I am no more. Last night my car was broken into and my camera bag with my camera, 3 lenses, 2 flashes and a tripod was stolen. My total monetary loss is at least $4200...not counting the backpack, the extra batteries and media cards, plus the flash accessories. Also not counting the window that was broken.
I am so heartbroken, I don't even know where to begin...I feel, I was violated and my heart was ripped out. I feel, I am going insane...many of you knew, that taking nature and baby photos WERE my sanity...well, it was taken away from me...........................................................................
...true colors, don't be afraid...
I believe in and support equal rights for all people, regardless of their gender, age, color, nationality, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or sexual identity. Today I grieve with the LGBT community, and all Americans, following the horrendous act of terror, violence, and hatred in Orlando.

It is with a heavy heart that we confirm the passing of our precious E14. Rest In Peace little one.

and just a little heartbroken...
Sometimes it just collapses around your ears.
I guess that's a grieving thing.
Ariel, you will always dance in the Rainbows!
This gentle and loving girl is no longer with us.
Jan, I am heartbroken to hear of the loss of your dearest one Ariel. This lovely cat brought so much Joy.
Ariel will never be forgotten and now dances with the butterflies at the Rainbow Bridge.

said goodbye to our beloved boy today, we're heartbroken, will be away from here for a few days, love y'all.
Once again, I am back to posting a few old photos from my archives. If I wrote a description under another photo taken on the same outing, I will add it here.
I don't know the Gorilla troupe enough to say which Gorilla is seen in this photo. Since posting it, I read this morning some very sad news from the Calgary Zoo:
"The Calgary Zoo/Wilder Institute announced on Wednesday that Kimani, a six-year-old western lowland gorilla, has died.
"We are heartbroken to share that our Animal Care, Health & Welfare (ACHW) team made the difficult but compassionate decision to euthanize our beloved … Kimani this morning," wrote the zoo on its website.
The gorilla had been suffering from a very serious form of pediatric liver cancer that was affecting her liver and lungs, and the support tissue for her heart, esophagus and blood vessels. Sadly, her condition deteriorated to the point we were no longer able to maintain her quality of life." From the Calgary Zoo.
"On 14 October 2014, I finally visited the Calgary Zoo again, after about a year and a half of not getting over there. The Western Lowland Gorillas were in their outdoor enclosure, which makes it much easier to photograph them. I didn't spend long with them, though, as I wanted to see if there was any sign of the Eurasian Lynx this time. The Gorillas were scooping up armfuls of loose hay and putting them on top of their heads and having fun shaking off the hay. They also would place an armful on top of a large rock and then lie down on it. The IUCN status of Lowland Gorillas is "Critically Endangered".
"There’s always something fun going on in the Calgary Zoo’s gorilla exhibit. Smart, gentle and peaceful, our gorillas form part of a close-knit family, called a troop. Kakinga, a giant male silverback gorilla, leads the troop gently, but firmly and the youngsters’ boundless energy always guarantees a show as they play, swing, climb and forage for food.
Kakinga is a valuable member of the Gorilla Species Survival Plan not only because of his amiable personality, but also because his genetics have added valuable diversity to the North American population of gorillas.
Lowland Gorillas come from lowland tropical forests of Cameroon, Gabon and Congo, Africa. Western lowland gorillas live in dense and remote rainforests, preferring swampy areas with dense, leafy growth.
In the wild, populations of western lowland gorillas are under siege, having dropped more than 80 percent in just three generations. These gorillas face exceptionally high levels of hunting, disease and habitat loss.
Western lowland gorillas live in groups, called troops, with complex social structures. Troops are led by dominant, older adult males, called silverbacks because of the silver hair that marks the otherwise dark fur on their backs. Troops also include young males, several females and their offspring. Silverbacks are responsible for organizing their troop’s activities – eating, nesting and moving around their home range." From the Calgary Zoo website. Though a lot of the information is about Kakinga, the Gorilla in this image is one of the other members of the group."
I hadn't visited Half Day Forest Preserve for a while…for over a month? (yeah, yeah, Garen, I know you don't believe me!) Because I was a little late for the sunrise, I began my walk at the opposite end of the pond. As I walked, I noticed that some trees had been cut down. I thought to myself, yes, that tree was looking rather bedraggled…wait…wait…did they cut my favorite tree down?
I reached the spot where I usually photograph this tree, and yes, sadly, the tree was gone. I guess it must've been diseased, because I couldn't really think of any other reason for it to be removed.
I guess this will force me to find more compositions at Half Day. Here's one from this past October, during that week of gorgeous misty mornings. The mist (not clouds) turned pink before the sun rose.
