San Jose NM, mid-1950s . That's my great-grandpa Sam, WW1 vet. He was very much loved and is fondly remembered by many many people some 30 years after his death. He made homemade wine, and I'm guessing that's what's in the cup. He had a small ranch with horses in San Jose (at junction of Santa Fe Trail and Pecos River). That's my mom he's holding. She's still around, being my mommy:). I wish that Ford was in my driveway. Thanks for looking!

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated

We cannot pass our guardian angel's bounds, resigned or sullen, he will hear our sighs.

Il sole brilla sulla punta del faro antico di Lignano, facendo apparire tutto il resto avvolto nelle tenebre

 

Buona serata

Our "eating apple" Tree, in our garden.

The apples starting to get a little bigger every day !!

"Won't you take my hand

Take my heart

Promise to never stop dancing once we start

'Cause this is our song"

This little fella lives in my friend Kims garden so tame and beautiful loves the area as its full off trees and looks like a wild woodland in SE22

Our pets seem to know that we are going away for a long time. Is it just me or do they really know. I'm glad they will be well taken cared for when I'm gone. Would have taken them all if I could. I'd have to be a millionaire to achieve that. 6 dogs and 15 cats. Seriously

Sometimes our focus may be in the wrong direction. Things needing attention may be inadvertently overlooked in order to see or do the things we want to do. A balance wants to be found to assure appropriate attention is given where it’s deserved. I think that looking at the white flower here without considering the balance gained by the blue sky and green leaves and their contribution to the total capture would be a mistake.

 

Thanks very much for viewing my work.

We have had a foot or more of snow earlier in the week, most of which has melted. The weekend temperatures have been in the high forties. We are

expecting another foot of snow in the next two days, along with much lower temperatures.

Song by David Crosby, Graham Nash, and Stephen Stills

 

"I'll light the fire, you place the flowers

In the vase that you bought today

Staring at the fire for hours and hours

While I listen to you play your love songs

All night long for me, only for me

 

Come to me now, and rest your head for just five minutes

Everything is done

Such a cozy room, the windows are illuminated

By the evening sunshine through them

Fiery gems for you, only for you

 

Our house, is a very, very, very fine house

With two cats in the yard

Life used to be so hard

Now everything is easy 'cause of you

 

And now...

 

Now everything is easy 'cause of you

 

And now...

I'll light the fire, while you place the flowers

In the vase that you bought today."

In our earth-lab, a life form has existed randomly, thanks to the reaction of atoms of the ingredients which were already there, in the lab, for the creation of this life form. It has started to develop and expand on the earth, randomly. Later, after billions of years, it got conscious, randomly , but not all life forms have headed to the same direction. The evolution occurred according "the tree of life”.

 

Speculation:

Big bang has sealed the fate of our future by creating the atom based universe, like all the necessary ingredients were put in a beaker, in a chemical lab, to become the expected ( not randomly) chemical solution.

A life form is the expected result, depending of the time, of the existence and reaction of ingredients in a beaker.

Searching in the foliage, I was delighted to meet this tiny character, a jumping spider. Perhaps one within the Maratus genus.

 

For fun, I opened up the camera aperture especially wide - although a lot of detail is lost, I like the heavy depth of field and accent on the eyes here. I was trying to show how protected she looked, deep within the curled, golden leaves.

 

Dear little spiders, but supremely remarkable, efficient and successful hunters.

 

I estimate around 7 mm body length.

The Christmas Tree that grew !!!! In our garden

Well, not really. Too far of a commute to Edinburgh.

Through these city nightmares you'd walk with me

And we'd talk of it with idealistic assurance

That it wouldn't tear us apart

We'd keep our heads above the blackened water

But there's no room for ideals in this mechanical place

And you're gone now

 

Through a grimy window that I can't keep clean

Through billowing smoke that's swallowed the sun

You're nowhere to be seen

Great Exhibition Bay was our destination, but the headland won.

"Our Blue Dot" by The Barenaked Ladies

  

This blue dot is the only shot we've got

If it turns from blue to grey there'll be no way

To turn it back, that's not okay

It's our hometown, we won't let it burn down

It's only fair, let's dream to dare fresh water, food and air

Let's look after our blue dot

he's our dog a cockapoo this was today out in the mud lol

Ile des Pins, Nouvelle-Calédonie.

 

L’Ouré Lodge se niche dans une splendide cocoteraie bordée par les eaux calmes et transparentes de la Baie de Kanuméra, et sa plage d’un blanc immaculé.

Ses confortables bungalows en bois, de style tropical contemporain, se fondent à merveille dans cet environnement magnifique et préservé.

Les superbes jardins tropicaux, dominés par les cocotiers et les sculpturaux banians, où viennent nicher perruches et papillon colorés, sont un véritable havre de paix.

Meet Cawra our new resident crow.

 

I suspect it has been moved on by it's parents who claim the nearby field.

 

Our two dogs are still not completely sure about her, but Cawra seems totally nonplussed.

 

The shed provided stunning bokeh lol

We talk. We discuss.

Then we both laugh before we even finish the story because we both know what comes next.

It's just our thing.

Expired TMAX from 2004 with a Rodinal still gives such pleasing tones - few combinations like this. The T* lens does a nice job as well.

A day of walk - Walk On The Beach - with big waves :)

 

Από τη σελίδα καταφύγιο και τη θεία μου, Ελσα Χίου:

Ο φλοίσβος του Νοτιά μας ψιθύριζε τα παραμύθια της θάλασσας. Τ' ακούγαμε απ' το λίκνο μας, και προχωρούσαμε με τα τέσσερα να συναντήσουμε τα γοργονόπουλα, που παίζανε στους αφρούς των κυμάτων. Τελευταία το ήρεμο παραμύθι έγινε εφιάλτης. Τα παπουτσάκια που ξεβράζει η θάλασσα, οι σχολικές τσαντούλες, τα παιχνίδια, και κάτι ανθεκτικά μπιμπερό, μας παραπέμπουν στο βυθό της ασπλαχνίας, και στη ντροπή της πιο αναίσχυντης γυμνότητας. Στο βδέλιγμα της ερημώσεως από την ανθρωπιά, και τη φυσική υπόσταση του ανθρώπου.

Έλσα χίου
