we receive a gift from the sky, beautiful clouds after the sunset, drifting away over our garden.../รdmjukt, vi tar emot en gรฅva frรฅn himlen, fina moln vid skymningen, รถver vรฅr trรคdgรฅrd.../ Humildemente, recibimos un regalo del cielo, nubes al atardecer, alejรกndose sobre el jardรญn de casa...(DSC_9812-3)
I had the best day yesterday and it started with this. sunrise was 7:30ish but I was here at 6:00 because I didn't want to miss anything and wasn't disappointed. I've already seen several shots of this glorious sunrise so I'm going to lead with it's beginning. the birds in the surrounding trees were starting to sing and the ducks had just started taking flight when the first glow hits Rainier and it became visible after it's evening in the clouds. the dawn will become magnificent, but I think that it's important to remember it's humble beginning.
Duisburg, Germany, 2020.
This photo is far from being perfect โ and deliberately so. There's grain all over the place, which I have added purposely and sun rays without the sun being in the picture. I might have removed them in Photoshop but I didn't.
And yet, this image works for me. It speaks to me because of its flaws. Here, the result is more than the sum of its parts. After all, there's beauty in imperfection.
There's more on www.chm-photography.com.
Enjoy!

always try and capture the eyes. The eyes tell the story. So that is what I try to do]
Traveling in the Arctic can be a humbling experience. Yes itโs often numbingly cold, windy and inhospitable for humans. The isolation of some of these Arctic places is also striking. When you encounter the largest land predator on Earth, at eye level, and he stares right into your eyes, you realize how unimportant you really are. We thought this enormous male Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) would be preoccupied with the member of his own species approaching from behind. Instead he fixed his gaze on us. A safe but humbling encounter.

According to my humble knowledge, this is a Jizo statue.
Information found on internet:
""Jizo is the Japanese version of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, a Buddhist god worshiped mainly in East Asia. Jizo is, without doubt, one of the most popular and lovable of the Buddhist divinities and he has all the wisdom of the Lord Buddha himself, with this important difference, namely, that Jizo has waived aside Nirvana, and does not sit upon the Golden Lotus, but has become, through an exquisitely beautiful self-sacrifice, the divine playmate and protector of Japanese children.
โO-Jizo-sanโ in Japanese honorific language, is the God of smiles and long sleeves, the enemy of evil spirits, and the one being who can heal the wound of a mother who has lost her child in death. Jizo is also the guardian of travelers, women and the weak.
You can find Jizo peeking out among the grasses along the road, standing at intersections, overseeing borders, or sitting in a wooden shelter built especially for him.
Jizo is at temples too, where sometimes he holds a baby in his arms. He is found at boundaries between places both physical and spiritual, between here and there, life and death.
Jizo represents a monk, and when people dress a monk statue, they accrue merit. Dressing Jizo gives people a chance to interact with him.""
Here you see a close up from his fascinating expression on his face.
I've always loved daisies in all their forms, but the daisies that appear, without fail, every year in my lawn are possibly my favourites. There's something very comforting and familiar about the humble daisy.
This humble cabin is beside Echo Park Road in Dinosaur National Monument. There are no interpretive signs at this site. Because it is just one mile from the Chew Ranch, it is likely that this was occupied prior to the construction of the ranch house in 1940. It is near the junction of Echo Park Road and Yampa Bench Road--a very scenic area.

Many of the houses in Bannock are small humble structures like this one. The town of Bannock thrived in the 1860's as a result of successful gold mining in the area. But the population of Bannock declined as gold and other minerals began to be mined elsewhere. In addition, the railroad went to a nearby town. Eventually the town became a ghost town. Due to the efforts of a few residents in the area, the properties were acquired by the state of Montana and made into a park for the purpose of preservation.
God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God.
(1st Peter 5:5-6)
Mom said, we have to be humble .....
as she said that :
'The LORD upholdeth all that fall,
and raiseth up all those that be bowed down'
Psalm 145:14 (KJV)

If you set before me a vintage bike
Iโd floral it up and give it a start;
Busy as a bee Iโll clean off that rust
And add a few little spare parts.
Iโll take it down to the beach at night
And ride along the boardwalk
Where everyone will awe
At my garden art!

I cannot remember many times in my life where I have felt so utterly weak, broken, and destroyed. I am weary beyond what I knew I could be. This process is painful and I donโt know why it has to be this way, but it is not always for me to know the why in the moment. Suffering is hard to understand and it often makes little sense to us. To me right now this doesnโt all make all that much sense, it just hurts a lot. But I chose to still trust in God knowing that He is faithful and good! O Lord would you keep me humble and dependent on You. Keep my soul and preserve my life, for my soul feels faint and my bones feel weary. My body feels like it is wasting away and my soul feels like it cannot push through anymore; yet, I will still chose to put my hope in God. For where else would I go, for You O Lord have the words of eternal life and it is in Your arms that I take refuge!

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
