Close to home…..
Snow comes to Cheddington.
For about 100 yds Church Path goes into a natural tunnel between Horse Chestnuts on the right and overgrown plum trees on the left. Because the leaves are still mostly on the trees it has completely sheltered this section of the path from our recent short-lived snow fall.
...well, not quite on the moon, but in a lunar landscape on the Canary Island of Lanzarote. Path in Timanfaya National Park. This may only be entered on a guided hike with a national park guide. You learn a lot about volcanism and move through a spectacular landscape, the barrenness of which is reminiscent of the moon.
...naja, nicht ganz auf dem Mond, aber in einer Mondlandschaft auf der Kanarischen Insel Lanzarote. Weg im Nationalpark Timanfaya. Dieser darf nur im Rahmen einer geführten Wanderung mit Nationalparkführern betreten werden. Man erfährt hierbei sehr viel über Vulkanismus und bewegt sich in einer spektakulären Landschaft, die tatsächlich in ihrer Kargheit an den Mond denken lässt.
Sunlight shines through a narrow opening of the forest down to the trail. Tettegouche State Park, Minnesota.
Follow me:
Life has roads.. paths.. and detours.. daily. Every single one of these are new changes, opportunities and outcomes. Every decision that you make is a new possibility.. and nobody ever really KNOWS what the outcome of that path will be.
...What could look like a long clear straight away path.. could instantly become blocked by a fallen tree or a big pothole.. or any other unforeseen obstacle.. that wasn't there before, but ... but THAT'S LIFE, ISN'T IT??!
If you really get into it.. and really think about it, it's kind of scary for some.. exciting for others. But then some of us believe that all of those paths/roads that we take were already chosen for us ((destiny)) & although we may THINK that we're making a decision.. it was already written for us to do so..
What do I believe??
Hmm.. I'm not sure. Probably a little bit of both?? LOL believe me, I have given this subject A LOT of thought! And, my answer.. is STILL UNSURE!
However, whatever you believe.. remember that each decision you make..every path or road that you decide to take.. can ultimately change your future.. (even the smaller paths & detours). Any little pothole in the road that you didn't see coming could cause your tire to blow out.. and you might have to sit on the side of the road "waiting for AAA" or taking less time to: "change your own tire"..
But always remember.. these decisions are important.. no matter how small.
When I am making big decisions, personally I choose to pray about them.. I ask God to help me make the right decision..
But all of us are different.. Some of us are more impulsive than others, or more impatient.
But no matter what, no matter which road we take..
All of us have the SAME THING IN COMMON: We all have choices.
..& We all hope that we make the right one.

Just some thoughts...
I hope that you all have a beautiful Tuesday! I hope that all of your days go nicely and you are healthy, happy & as stress free as possible!
I just got home from physical therapy and I have an important zoom appointment in a little while. My physical therapist did such a fantastic job on me today.. she did this new massage technique on my neck and upper back that I have never seen before.. and it was amazing. She pulled out these long metal things that looked almost like knives (kind of intimidating when you see them!) But she explained how they're smooth and won't hurt me, but they help her to reach deep into my very tight muscles to loosen them without tiring herself out quickly or hurting her self. She did let me know that I will probably bruise on my neck (which I did), but it's just 'the bad stuff coming out' or getting better.. because she actually was able to reach the worst part of the issue.
I am so grateful & thanked her probably 10 times !! I feel so great.. and I go back again Thursday morning to have this done again. It works so GOOD & my neck and upper back currently feel amazing!
..ALSO, I told her how on my way in how I had a migraine (I haven't had one in about 1 1/2 years), but when I do get them I cannot see. I took ibprofen and closed my eyes and rubbed my temples before I went inside and I was starting to feel better. (PT helped that 1000% it went away immediately, thank GOD!) but I also explained to her that the night before while I was at work that I lifted a few big trays of meat on a couple occasions.. (probably between 20-60 lbs each).. Even though my co-workers don't let me .. and try to do it all for me.. on a few occasions I had to. She was happy to hear that.. because she wants me to TRY to lift and see how it works for me.. She explained that she would much rather me practice lifting things at work, NOW (while I'm seeing her in physical therapy at least twice a week).. that way we can SEE how it affects me and how I feel.. and if anything, PT will help me if it hurts me at all.. and then she'd tell me NOT to. I was happy to hear that.. because I don't want to be considered useless because of this injury. I don't want to be a burden at my job.. or an inconvenience. So, I'm glad she suggested it.
Anyhoo, I feel great! And I'm SO GRATEFUL!

Again, I hope that you all have a fantastic day! Take care of yourselves! Stay safe & healthy & I look forward to seeing all of your new photos! Keep em' coming! I always enjoy to view your photography, guys!
I had such a fantatsic time shooting the very lovely Anouska yesterday - she is a beautiful model and super talented photographer. t was such a treat because she is so beautiful inside and out :) It was a little different this time though because Anouska shot me too! We did a photographer - photographer collaboration - I feel Anouska got a bit of a raw deal because I'm not a model at all but it was lots of fun & who knows we may even do another one soon!
I will be uploading some more shots from our shoot soon so stay tuned :) L x
I find landscapes easiest to photograph. They don't run off, fly off, or get tired posing. And they sit perfectly still.
A path between limestone formations on the Niagra Escarpment in High Cliff State Park near Sherwood Wisconsin.
Quiet the mind and the soul will speak! Just the place, simply couldn’t resist this one :)
