52 weeks in 2016 ... down low ...
... this was quite the challenge ... Drift would nót lie still as I was flat on my belly (not something we're used to haha) and I wanted the shot at f 1.4 for the bokeh and that's kinda difficult if your dog is constantly moving or coming towards you ... but we did it !

“If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him.”

That's what I decided to do when I spotted these Sunflowers. I started with What if and finished with Why Not : )

The Sunflower:
Helianthus is a genus comprising about 70 species of annual and perennial flowering plants in the daisy family Asteraceae commonly known as Sunflowers. Except for three South American species, the species of Helianthus are native to North America and Central America.
The best-known species is the common sunflower (Helianthus annuus), whose round flower heads in combination with the ligules look like the Sun. This and other species, notably Jerusalem artichoke are cultivated in temperate regions and some tropical regions as food crops for humans, cattle, and poultry, and as ornamental plants.

l love taking pictures of this cute cat ....but l think this is the last shot of Samantha and berries that l will try to do for awhile :-))))) LOL
... if the summer comes to an end now so slowly. One feels already sometimes how the nature prepares for it. Has found some sentences in addition:
The darkness
begins again earlier
and smokier breathes
the wilted nature.
The foliage covers
rustling the ways,
the autumn already signs
his coloured track.
Still summer
and, nevertheless, already past.
In the morning as a white frost ends
the fog in the grass.
At noon seems
still the warming sun,
if she transforms him
in pearls of glass.

If you should meet a Fairy
be sure to leave it be.
Ask for a little dusting
and Love and Hope you'll feel.
You may want it for keeping
but it must wonder free.
This little Fairy wonder
isn't yours to keep you see.

If you plant one dandelion, chances are you’ll soon have about eight hundred to pull up.
Dandelions reproduce asexually, so each new dandelion is a genetic copy of its parent plant

If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."
We haven't changed that much in 300,000 years of evolution.

__________________________
Met you by surprise,
I didn't realize
That my life would change forever
Saw you standing there,
I didn't know I cared
There was something special in the air
Dreams are my reality,
The only kind of real fantasy
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
It seems as if it's meant to be
Dreams are my reality,
A different kind of reality
I dream of loving in the night
And loving seems alright
Although it's only fantasy
If you do exist,
Honey don't resist
Show me a new way of loving
Tell me that it's true,
Show me what to do
I feel something special about you
Dreams are my reality,
The only kind of reality
May be my foolishness has past
And may be now at last
I'll see how a real thing can be
Dreams are my reality,
A wonderous world where I like to be
I dream of holding you all night
And holding you seems right
Perhaps that's my reality
Met you by surprise,
I didn't realize
That my life would change forever
Tell me that it's true,
Feelings that are cue
I feel something special about you
Dreams are my reality,
A wonderous world where I like to be
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
Although it's only fantasy
Dreams are my reality,
I like to dream of you close to me
I dream of loving in the night
And loving you seems right
Perhaps that's my reality
