So, I was searching for quotes about love because of the graffiti on the wall behind me, and I came across this one below. I read it again, as I have before and the truth of so many of the things he said struck a cord with me. The thing is that Bob Marley said "only once in your life" this happens. I really hope he's wrong about that and that I'm lucky to have this kind of love in my life again.
I hope you're having a great weekend!! Mine is full, full, full and all photography-related, so that's fun!! I had a senior session this morning that went really well and I'm off shortly to go do head shots at my brother's lodge tonight. And tomorrow I'll be assisting on a fashion shoot with my friend, Pete.
“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
~ Bob Marley
In my loving memory of Stevie.
June 20, 1982 - August 24, 2010
Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without affect, without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same that it ever was. There is absolutely unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

My attempt at painting more loosely. This is from a montage of three different royalty free source photos; background, girl & chickens.
"Falta tanta coisa na minha janela, Como uma praia
Falta tanta coisa na memória, Como o rosto dele
Falta tanto tempo no relógio, Quanto uma semana
Sobra tanta falta de paciência, Que me desespero
Sobram tantas meias-verdades, Que guardo pra mim mesma
Sobram tantos medos, Que nem me protejo mais
Sobra tanto espaço, Dentro do abraço
Falta tanta coisa pra dizer
Que nunca consigo..."

Good news i am back on flicker and bad news that i lost around 25GB of pics on my Hard disk.
only able to recover few shots saved on my USB.
This is one of them
The stars of the show at the Bison Range are, of course, the bison. I did see small herds of cows and calves in the distance, plus a number of lone bulls around the reserve, peacefully enjoying the lush grasses on which they depend to fatten up for the winter lean season. The total number of bison on the range is about 300-500, depending on how many calves are born each year.
In 1908, the federal government carved 18,766 acres out of the Flathead Indian reservation for a very small bison conservation herd. Following the ensuing decades of negotiation, contracts signed and broken, purchases and sales, agreements and betrayals, and numerous legal and legislative actions, in late 2020, management of the range became a fruitful partnership between the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Confederated Kootenai and Salish Tribes (CKST) on whose land the range resides.
The range is meticulously managed to assure quality habitat for the 300-500 head of bison, plus elk, deer, pronghorns, bighorns, bears, many other small mammals, and birds, wildflowers and other native vegetation, and to maintain healthy waterways, including Mission Creek. Two loop roads and a lovely visitor center are open for public visitation for a modest fee.
