Common Bluebell - Spring plants are at their most vibrant during the months of April and May, bluebells cover the ground with their grace and beauty.
What do bluebells symbolize?
In the language of flowers, the bluebell symbolises constancy, humility and gratitude.
Are there different types of bluebells?
*Spanish bluebell and Common Bluebell.
What's the difference between Spanish bluebells and British bluebells?
The main differences between a Spanish bluebell and an English bluebell are: On the Spanish flower, the bells are all around the stem, not just on one side, which gives the English bluebell its drooping stature. The leaves are wider and bigger. The petals of each bell open wider and flare at the ends rather than curl.
Fragrance of Bluebell
The olfactive profile of the Bluebell is reminiscent of the Hyacinth. It is not a very strong fragrance but it becomes very noticeable when walking through a Bluebell wood. We describe it a green-floral, as it is oily-green and quite intoxicating.
Is a bluebell a hyacinth?
Although some confusion may occur from various English and Latin names, most bluebells are also known as wood hyacinths,

~Charles de Montesquieu on humility quotes (French Politician and Philosopher, 1689-1755)
What makes humility so desirable is the remarkable thing it does to us; it gives us the ability to be close and worship God. Have a blessed Holy Wednesday!
"Shine your soul with the same egoless humility as the rainbow does, and no matter where you go in this world or
the next, love will find you, attend you, and bless you."
~Aberjhani
You showed great thoughtfulness, generosity, humility, and creativity. A kind-hearted soul, I will truly miss your words, and mails. Bless you, my friend.
It is with humility that I share with you some exciting news!
I am honored to be featured on the cover and in an article in the very cool Eclipse Magazine! This is the image I did for the cover.
Here is a link to the magazine which just hit the newsstands today:
Keep shining everyone, and thank you for all the kindness and support that you share with me. I am so grateful to be part of our incredible universe.
Humility is the true key to success. Successful people lose their way at times and often embrace and overindulge from the fruits of success.

expired Kodak Portra 160, pushed two stops
Inspired by the movie 'Wings of desire' and its remake 'City of angels', I wanted to do this project for a long time. I even started it some time ago as self-portraits wearing long, leather, black jacket:
www.flickr.com/photos/toguko/4741327405/
But this time, I thought I would do something different. I think the use of the traditional, red, Chinese dress was more for the visual reasons in the beginning. Then I started to think what I wanted to show in this project. And the word 'nostalgia' came to my mind in a natural way - the use of an old camera, expired films, dress from another era, showing longing for the past. But when I developed the films, I was disappointed with the results. I was hoping they would look like old photographs. The colours came out more vivid than when using normal kodak portra 160 (perhaps because mine was expired and pushed two stops when developed). I felt that this is not what I wanted and also that it is not really my style. I guess I had some expectations about the whole thing.
And then I thought that I did the best I could, given the tools I have at the moment (I had to sell all my equipment for personal reasons and only kept my grandfather's camera for sentimental reasons and was left with few boxes of kodak portra 160 that I didn't sell) and that the final results were actually not up to me. I felt that this was a great lesson of humility, letting go, diminishing my ego and expectations, trying to deal with my 'control freak' and perfectionist side. So my new idea for the name of this project is 'humility', for the reasons above but also because of the small figure in the vastness of the landscapes (universe) as I am trying to show how small and insignificant we all are.
The other thing I thought about is what does the model feel/experience. What is her perspective? I feel not many people think about that. So I asked her. She said that in the beginning, the posing didn't feel natural to her, she felt akward standing there looking at all these landscapes in front of her. But in later shots, she started to relax, closed her eyes and meditated.
Changed the name of the project to 'h&n' (for humility&nostalgia but also here&now).
I wonder what you think.
very silent and focused, aware of their core selves. ... They never persuade, nor do they use manipulation or aggressiveness to get their way. They listen. If there is anything they can offer to assist you, they offer it; if not, they are silent :-)

La gratitude va de pair avec l'humilité comme la santé avec l'équilibre.

Humility (modesty, opposes Pride) Modest behavior, selflessness, and the giving of respect. Giving credit where credit is due; not unfairly glorifying one's own self.

Along the path that harrows at the top of the hill from there, you can admire the peaks. You see them in the majestic solemn enchantment like a god and you owe them to venerate them with your heart that beats, with humility you approach their feet raising your eyes to the top and sighing only remains to you. So powerful and almost alone as queens of peace, they seem like the abodes of saints and your pilgrim ascent will bring you close to God. Cime di Lavaredo Italy
One among infinity
Witnessing the majesty
Calm in this humility
Witnessing the majesty
Hope as far as one can see
Witnessing the majesty

The Human Abstract
(William Blake)
Pity would be no more
If we did not make somebody poor,
And Mercy no more could be
If all were as happy as we.
And mutual fear brings Peace,
Till the selfish loves increase;
Then Cruelty knits a snare,
And spreads his baits with care.
He sits down with holy fears,
And waters the ground with tears;
Then Humility takes its root
Underneath his foot.
Soon spreads the dismal shade
Of Mystery over his head,
And the caterpillar and fly
Feed on the Mystery.
And it bears the fruit of Deceit,
Ruddy and sweet to eat,
And the raven his nest has made
In its thickest shade.
The gods of the earth and sea
Sought through nature to find this tree,
But their search was all in vain:
There grows one in the human Brain.

This is a long overdue thank you for Laura for her sweet testimonial. Spend sometime to visit her photostream and I guarantee you will be in awe of her talent and creativity. She just uploaded some free textures for us to use.
Btw I just realized that I have been using whithering roses to convey my appreciation. I think I should've used fresh flowers instead. In my defense, I think flowers still look pretty even when they are whithering, especially roses. That's why I love them. :)
Have a lovely weekend my flickr friends. And oh... Spring, come sooner puh-leease. I've had enough of this cold weather and snow.
Orion Orbits Overhead On Stunning Starry Seaside Sky - IMRAN™
The cluster of stars often known as Orion’s Belt is one of the most familiar sights in the sky. It has fascinated humankind for millennia. Who knows if there are living creatures in the universe that also have views of this combination of heavenly bodies. I’m sure the shape would have to be significantly different ... unless their planet happened to be in the same exact linear alignment as our Earth’s position relative to the points of light making up that imaginary figure.
They are all different distances from earth. I was thinking about how the lights from some of the key stars took so many different periods to hit my eyes when I gazed upon them.
Light from one of them that I captured in this image left the star when Jesus was living, 2000 years ago. The light from another of the points is actually from a combination of stars with one revolving around the other every 1500 years. That is about the time since Prophet Muhammad was alive in Mecca.
Just the thought of the cosmic insignificance of our planet and our individual existences sent a shudder down my spine, as did the chilly Florida winter night as I stood seaside at home looking up at the sights past the palm tree. As I clicked the photo on the warm iPhone in the palm of my hand, I felt a warmth in my heart and a fire in my soul....
I got to see these stars’ lights from almost the exact times when God’s favorite prophets had likely looked up towards the stars near their last days on earth. And Allah, the One God, still has given insignificant me, standing alone on the shore on this cold night, on this tiny insignificant planet, to have unlimited powers.... of imagination, thought, and faith.... to achieve anything I dream, desire and decide. God willing.
