We all have an unsuspected
reserve of strength inside that
emerges when life puts us to the test.
~Isabel Allende
Towards the end, a mild draft... the pollen spills onto the tender petals.
They are so fragile...
I photographed the 'demise' of this beauty in the studio, look out for next!
Again a 'study!
Anemone coronaria is a species of flowering plant in the genus Anemone, native to the Mediterranean region.
This comp 'in camera'... just how I like it!
Each time I think... that's it, there's only so much you can do with flowers... and yet again and again, I'll see something new.
Being creative is not a choice... it is an urge in me.
Take care, be safe!
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and thank you for your ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated, M, (*_*)

I think it might be an alien egg. Trying new things thanks to Brando. Back out at summit park despite the rain making a solid orb inside the horizontal orb.

She wanders and stumbles. Her mind racing with no direction. She opens her heart to find her inner peace has been there all along.

“How strange that the nature of life is change, yet the nature of human beings is to resist change. And how ironic that the difficult times we fear might ruin us are the very ones that can break us open and help us blossom into who we were meant to be.”
― Elizabeth Lesser
A photo taken 500m upstream from Nihonbashi. This section of the Expressway is to be removed by 2040.
Tokiwabashi (常盤橋) is the name of a bridge over the Furukawa / Nihonbashi-gawa / Sotobori. It is located in an immediate vicinity of Oote-mon by Uchibori, the inner moat. The old Hirakawa used to flow into Tokyo Bay near Yuurakucho, and the section of the Nihonbashi-gawa downstream from here is a canal excavated during the Edo Period.
Wooden gate structures were demolished in 1873, and a stone bridge replaced the old wooden one. A new stone bridge was constructed after the earthquake in 1923. It was damaged by the earthquake in 2011 and repaired for pedestrian use in 2021.
The statue half-hidden by foliage in the left is of Shibusawa Ei'chi (渋沢栄一 1840 - 1931). He helped the conservation of the stone base and the bridge.
He came from a peasant family in present-day Saitama prefecture, was promoted to Samurai by the Tokugawa shogunate, worked as a bureaucrat under the Meiji government, and turned to an entrepreneur establishing banks, factories, railway companies etc. while advocating the importance of education and social welfare. He is regarded the father of capitalism in Japan.
His portrait is now printed on the 10,000 yen bill.
As for personal life, he had a wife and several mistresses and fathered more than a dozen of children. He was criticised for letting his mistresses to live in the same residence as his wife.
Some people insist that the Shibusawa bill should not be used as a wedding gift but instead the old Fukuzawa Yukichi bill who was a monogamy (^_^; He was not a saint.
When looking into deep woods, some things are clear and others are mysterious. I love looking into the deep woods.

Nearing sunset an eastbound Ji Tong Railway freight approaches the west siding switch at Galadesitai, Inner Mongolia. The pair of QJ 2-10-2 locomotives have been drifting downgrade since cresting the grade at Shangdian some 20+ km distant. In the sub zero temps the ever present high winds are pushing the steam sideways as they prepare to stop for a meet here with a westbound. The windchills were nearing the -40F range resulting in real fun times using film and getting frostbite marks where the frozen camera body touched your face . . .

We all have some of that special magic inside of us...no matter what colour it may be!
This photo is a small celebration of mine for being accepted into the 2019 Mr and Miss Pride Pageant today, I've been very worried about showing that side of myself and today it feels like a boost to embrace it more often, even if some have left me in the dust because of it it is not me who has lost. But instead I am more free without having to hide myself around certain people or being looked down on or even being treated like it prevents me from being in a relationship. This past month has been rough but today is a win in my book. I have pride in myself and confidence I can do my best!
I had a couple of songs that made me smile while I was editing this I hope you enjoy them!

A rainy night in the City. Aimless taxis rubber by on rain slick streets, spraying fusillades of water on the wraithlike beings who inhabit the wee hours. Street lamps cast amber light reflections on the wet black asphalt. Poetry is born on urban nights like these.
Location: a very dark and soggy corner of my mind.
Image imagined in MidJourney AI and finished with Topaz Studio 2.0 and Lightroom Classic.
Channeling my inner witch with a touch of glamour ✨ Spooky vibes, lace, and a dash of magic for this Halloween season. Ready to cast some cute, yet creepy spells under the blood-red moon! 🔮🎃

They say don't let them in
Close your eyes and clear your thoughts again
But when I'm all alone, they show up on their own
'Cause inner demons fight their battles with fire
Inner demons don't play by the rules
They say "Just push them down, just fight them harder
Why would you give up on it so soon?"
So angels, angels please just keep on fighting
Angels don't give up on me today
'Cause the demons they are there, they just keep biting
'Cause inner demons just won't go away
So angels please, hear my prayer
Life is pain, life's not fair
So angels please, please stay here
Take the pain, take the fear
They say it won't be hard, they can't see the battles in my heart
But when I turn away
The demons seem to stay
'Cause inner demons don't play well with angels
They cheat and lie and steal and break and bruise
Angels please protect me from these rebels
This is a battle I don't want to lose
So angels, angels please just keep on fighting
Angels don't give up on me today
'Cause the demons they are there, they just keep biting
'Cause inner demons just won't go away
So angels, angels please keep on fighting
Angels don't give up on me today
'Cause the demons they are there, they just keep biting
'Cause inner demons just won't go away
So angels please, hear my prayer
Life is pain, life's not fair
So angels please, please stay here
Take the pain, take the fear
