Another foggy day! This photo was taken along Thurman Street. I drove up there with the intention of hiking in Forest Park in the fog, but it was sunny along the trail! The trailhead was less than 1/8th of a mile from where this photo was taken. I was surprised by the huge change in the weather in such a short distance.

Felt like uploading something that wasn't my face.
I love the way the light catches these plants.
You HAVE to view on black
As I took a respite from the hubbub of the festivities of our National holiday ...
Rue Ste Catherine O.
I could only feel and notice the empty pews of St James the Apostle Church
The secularization of spirituality was duly observed ...
Certainly felt.
" Maybe we are traveling at different times
A lonely spirit that sometimes collides "

I want to trust in your love - ( Bliss featuring Ane Brun )
In a time when nature and well-being are seen as ideals to strive for, it's hard not to be drawn to them, yet the pressure to follow through can feel overwhelming. The image reflects an internal struggle—between desire and inertia—where the urge for change exists, but taking the next step remains just out of reach. The lilies, symbols of purity and renewal, contrast with stillness, embodying the tension between aspiration and hesitation.

In the early hours, as the world still whispers its secrets and the sun tiptoes across the horizon, life seems to hold its breath. The warm embrace of a cup in hand, the quiet rustle of trees outside, and the soft hum of stillness—it’s in these fleeting moments that we finally meet ourselves.
Mornings like these invite reflection, the kind where life’s layers unfold like the steam rising from that first sip of coffee.
The ups and downs come into focus—the exhilarating victories that made your heart race and the stumbles that left you breathless, grappling with lessons you didn’t know you needed. Choices—good and bad—linger like shadows, each one a thread in the fabric of your story. Regrets might whisper faintly, but so do the triumphs, reminding you that even missteps carve pathways toward growth.
It’s here, in these quiet intervals, that you can hold both gratitude and self-forgiveness. The laughter that lit up darker days, the moments of courage when the road seemed unclear—they all take their place alongside the slip-ups and struggles. With the clarity of morning, you see it all, and maybe—just maybe—you realize you wouldn’t rewrite a single chapter. Every twist and turn, every joy and heartbreak, has shaped the person gazing out at the day ahead.
As the light grows stronger, so does the resolve to keep going, to face whatever awaits with a sense of purpose. Morning reflections may not give you all the answers, but they offer a pause—a breath between the chapters—to remind you how far you’ve come. And sometimes, that’s more than enough.
a few people have tagged me to do the 16-things thing. i was on the fence, then decided today's as good a day as any for some good ol' fashioned introspection. (alas, i'm not into tagging others to do something as involved as this. that said, if you're willing to try it, i highly recommend it.)
1. birding. many years ago, while taking the train down the hudson river, i noticed these tall, grey birds along the shore. i did some research, got some binoculars, and fell head over heels in love with the rush you get when you identify a bird in the wild. since photography and flickr and facebook took over, i rarely take my binoculars out anymore, except to spy on the chickadees and titmice in my little back yard. this year, birds, here i come.
2. pictures. i took thousands of photographs this year, mostly cos i saw something and thought it was cool. most go unedited, unseen. i plan to take a hell of a lot more pictures, but with a purpose. i don't have any illusions that photography will make me rich. but if i can work at it, and earn even a meager living from it, then yay on me.
3. exercise. i don't do it enough, plain and simple. like most of america, i'm overweight, and i'm incredibly insecure about it. i also have asthma and fibromyalgia, which makes typical exercise difficult. so my options are swimming and yoga. i've got the gym membership. the plan now is to, you know, use it.
4. shoes. i love them. seriously, dangerously love them. but you know which ones i miss? birkenstocks. i wore them for years, back in my munich days, when i didn't shave my pits or legs, drank beer from liter-sized mugs, and got around on a bicycle. now i'm down to one pair of birks, which i only wear around the house, symbols of my sedentary lifestyle. they're ugly, yes. but they're good for you; they're like oats for your feet. *looks down at bostons* *dreams of the footprints.com catalog*
5. art. a couple of years ago, i spent a small fortune on paint supplies -- canvases, brushes, acrylics, an easel. i love painting, using my fingers to move the colors where i want them. it makes me feel alive. this morning i took out a blank canvas, and it's sitting there looking at me, all white and confident like a writer's blank sheet. (speaking of which -- art includes writing. need to do more of that too.)
6. friends. when i was a girl growing up in my apartment building, i had very, very few friends. so i'd imagine them. but not imaginary playfriends -- these were people, boys, mostly -- who i imagined were hiding in the bushes, just watching me. as an adult i understand now that i was just desperate to be seen, to be noticed. some of that still lingers, but the more i realize what good, loving friends i do have, the easier that gets.
7. reading. i love books. LOVE them. they're all over the house, on shelves and in piles. time was, i'd be in the middle of three or four books at the same time. nowadays it takes me months to finish just one book. time to fix that.
8. family. the one i've got is very small; i'm an only child, whose parents split when i was four. i have one cousin (that i know of; i know i have dozens more, but we have no contact with that part of my family, nor do i wish to, for reasons i won't get into). but what little i have is incredibly important to me. i had willingly orphaned myself, because that was easier and safer than making myself vulnerable to assured pain. but i took a risk recently, and got my mother back. here's to taking more such risks this year.
9. quirk. my biggest outlet for quirk right now is wearing mismatched socks. this year, i want more ink, a brightly colored coat, longer hair for braids, and a display rack for my push-toy, wind-up-toy, and egg-cup collections. and, maybe, wear more orange.
10. marketing. i suck at promoting myself. goals for this year: create postcards, new business cards, ads for local papers, and buzz. plus a decal for my beetle.
11. tangibility. i spend an inordinate amount of time online, on flickr, on facebook, and on chat. that will change, because the real world is beckoning.
12. travel. in 1991, i went backpacking in ireland and met florian, my husband. in 2003 we went on a cross-country drive. we travel well together, but we don't do it all that often anymore. he has his motorcycle, i have my camera. but this year, i want to spend more time with him on the road. doesn't have to be a big trip -- hell, we don't even need to know where we're going. it's just the going that matters.
13. depression. yes. i have it. and i want to be more vocal about it, to help demystify it. so many of us suffer from it without knowing or admitting it. i can help... if you let me.
14. peanut butter. i'm a fan, to be sure (smucker's creamy all-natural). this year i want to learn how to make it, with a touch of honey thrown in. (i just made that up.)
15. me. i am a fantastic friend. i excel at taking care of other people, urging them to do what they need to do for themselves, making them feel like a million bucks. my biggest goal for 2009? befriending myself.
16. air. the fresh kind. i don't get enough of it. so right now, i'm shuttin' this laptop down, and going out in it.
What your eyes see may deceive you. Do not trust them fully or wholeheartedly without further introspection. The visual distortions abound as do all of the other sensory perceptions. What is might not be. What exists is not only what you perceive. What you perceive is all that exists to you. What is refracted, distorted, manipulated, and unwound from the chaotic nature of this universe is the confluence of the many facets of perceptive thinking and inclusive of the stream of consciousness within. You think, you exist. You exist, you think. Resistance is futile.

Its been a while. But like a junkie I needed to get my fix. The long days haven't helped and when I went for a walk today, I saw some woods I liked, so I went back to put them in my head.Tripod swap, First tripod set up and camera aimed at a small bedsheet (With me in front of it) with a flash gun aimed at the sheet. Started the exposure using my phone so I was lined up, Popped the flash, lens cap on. Move camera to tripod 2, Change focal length of lens and focus point, un cap lens, Walk in the dark carefully to the back of the scene in my head. Back light scanner on and walk towards camera. stopped exposure.
This photo was captured by looking through a curved glass bay window into an empty room with a large mirror on the opposing wall. The mansion overlooks the Mississippi River in Davenport, Iowa. This image is unedited.
More info on the Overview Mansion:
A graceful dream at Jackson bottom wetlands preserve today morning. It was as quiet as can be, the silence disrupted only by sporadic hunters' gunshots. Other than that um, minor, interruption, the whole experience was as dreamlike as can be.
The title of the photo was actually a bumper sticker I saw on a car on the way back from Jackson Bottom.
