A scene along the Brecon canal.

luminous clouds over the forest, an evening in spring just out of Uppsala.../Ett intryck som varar...molnen lyser över skogen, en vårkväll strax utanför Uppsala.../Una impresión duradera, nubes luminosas sobre el bosque, un atardecer de primavera en las afueras de Uppsala...(DSC_2397-3)

 

more lasting than what you profess. Whom you inspire is more significant than whom you impress :-)

This song has been "burning" inside me since its release in 2010. Just a few years earlier I experienced three intense and lasting losses in my real life that have left immutable marks on my soul. I've tried several times to express this in SL photography but can never seem to capture the emotion anywhere as deeply as Stone Sour does with their song. Please take a moment to watch this video (again) and remember that some losses help to direct us but they don't have to define us.

You were my fire, so I burned, 'til there was nothing left of me

I, I touched your face, I held you close, 'til I could barely breathe

Why give me hope, then give me up, just to be the death of me

Save the rest of me

 

'Cause I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away

I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate

Another vanda, this time a hybrid. One vanda crossed with another.

 

Vanda is a genus in the orchid family (Orchidaceae) which, although not massive (about eighty species), is one of the genera more commonly found in the market place. This genus and its allies are considered to be among the most specifically adapted of all orchids within Orchidaceae.

 

The genus is highly prized in horticulture for its showy, fragrant, long lasting, and intensely colorful flowers.

 

Vanda is widespread across East Asia, Southeast Asia, and New Guinea, with a few species extending into Queensland and some of the islands of the western Pacific. The genus is sometimes abbreviated as V. in the floral trade. - Wikipedia

The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.

 

Rûmî

“It was the time when they loved each other best, without hurry or excess, when both were most conscious of and grateful for their incredible victories over adversity. Life would still present them with other mortal trails, of course, but that no longer mattered: they were on the other shore. ”

Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

Point Pelee is found in Essex County which is the most southern part of Canada. Essex County including Windsor is less than six percent native forest cover and only three percent of wetlands remain intact. Much of the area has been converted to agricultural and industrial use or urban development which underscores how important Point Pelee is to this part of Canada.

My dad’s wedding ring. A marriage that lasted 64 years until his passing of age-related causes last year. He was a wonderful, loving man who introduced me to the love of the outdoors and photography!

 

Shot for Macro Mondays, Love

Rain on the Roof we had a real monsoon Monday, very hard rain lasting a long time, everything is green now for sure, shot in North Carolina.

Pollution lights can be pretty cool

We were hiking in the forest and it was about to turn dark and then we came to this nice opening in the forest and this light appeared, it was so beautiful

Now with the party people returning to their festivities I can do my typical long exposure. No fireworks in the sky tonight but what color was there was very calming in relation to the party noises next to me. Besides, if there were fiery skies tonight you couldn't pull people off that rock.

For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.

Hebrew 13:14 (ESV)

Sai qual'è il regalo perfetto per una persona a cui vuoi particolarmente bene?

Un cactus! Simbolo di forza, perseveranza, fedeltà e affetto duraturo!

 

Do you know what is the perfect gift for someone you particularly love?

A cactus! Symbol of strength, perseverance, fidelity and lasting affection!

Well today's "explored shots" on Flickr was dominated by flowers - so I thought I would post one.

 

Phalaenopsis (moth orchids) grow well in centrally heated rooms and have long-lasting flowers produced all year round.

"Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature"

Poet Gérard de Nerval

 

Love Dahlia's especially this rich purple one I found on a walk. Enjoy Macro's added some texture for fun.

 

So how are you? I am continuing to stay away from the public & travels ~ Covid-19 virus cases are still growing here in Washington State ~ with mass amounts of protesters we may see a second wave, we are praying for peace..

 

Stay well and safe Flickr friends.

Happy Macro Monday! :-))) Long Lasting Balloon! :-)))

 

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
