this morning, i was in the park, shooting dew-covered grass. it was quiet and peaceful. just me and the squirrels. sometimes i need to look more closely: attend and discern. other times—like today—i need to look up, broaden my perspective, and open to possibility.

I love the graduation from dark blue to light & fiery color in the sky. This was a magnificent sunset and I wish I was able to do it better justice :)!

There is always a door opened somewhere
There is always an opportunity awaiting
There is always an option
There is always a choice
One just have to be willing and enter
So here is a phone adventure with clouds

HMM......... the theme for today, 5/18 is, wabi-sabi. i think there are 4-5 possibilities. this one goes with the 'headshot' of the mannequin (see the first comment box). i bought this mannequin because someone had painted on him, then returned him to the store and i thought no one would buy him.
Wabi-sabi is a Japanese word roughly translating as 'imperfect aged beauty'. It is used to describe a particular philosophy that beauty can be found in the old, the everyday, the imperfect, broken and decaying subjects.
"macro mondays" wabi-sabi possibility
The Singing Bridge or Congosto in the locality of Lozoya, its origins are uncertain, shuffling two possibilities, that is of Roman time or of medieval time.
Located in the municipal area of Lozoya, in the Sierra Norte de Madrid, it saves a narrow and deep gorge cut into the rocks downstream from the Pinilla Reservoir by the erosive force of the waters of the Lozoya River. It is a construction that serves to illustrate the medieval legal entities represented by the Society of Quiñones and the Sexmo de Lozoya.
The place-name Lozoya, which gives its name to a valley, a river and a population, seems to come from the augmentative term Loza, oza, osa, which means pasture in the Basque dialect of Gipuzkoa.
It seems that among the hosts of Alfonso VI who occupied the Lozoya valley, people from the north of the peninsula, mainly Asturian-Leonese and Basque people, came. It was they who populated or repopulated the valley, and gave name to the place: LOZOIHA.
The valley was disputed for a long time by Segovia and Madrid. It was managed by the so-called "Society of Quinones", dependent on the Council of Segovia, and that forced those who settled in these lands "to build a house and own their own horse that was worth 200 maravedis and served to grab and carry spear". It seems that there already existed in the area many peasants and knights were needed to defend the area. Los Quiñones de Lozoya are the antecedents of the current municipalities of the valley. They were integrated into the Community of Tierras de Segovia and defended their agricultural interests as a community. All the inhabitants of the valley had the same rights and were subject to the same laws and judges charged with administering the same justice for all.
The councils represented by the Quiñones were subject to Lozoya, and managed to become independent from their jurisdiction in the last years of the reign of the Catholic Monarchs, who tried to control the vast autonomous power of the municipalities through the "corregimientos". The legal figure that gives life to the corregimientos is the "corregidor", a supervisor of the King, who directs the destinies of the municipality next to the mayor. The corregidor comes to acquire such power and importance with the passage of time, which shifts from its functions to the town councils elected by the people, becoming the concejil power, from democratic to autocratic, since the corregidor's approval was needed in any decision Take the town hall.

El Puente Canto o Congosto en la localidad de Lozoya, sus orígenes son inciertos, barajándose dos posibilidades, que sea de época romana o de época medieval.
Situado en el término municipal de Lozoya, en la sierra Norte de Madrid, salva aguas abajo del embalse de Pinilla una estrecha y profunda garganta horadada en las rocas por la fuerza erosiva de las aguas del río Lozoya. Es una construcción que nos sirve para ilustrar las entidades jurídicas medievales representadas por la Sociedad de Quiñones y el Sexmo de Lozoya.
El topónimo Lozoya, que da nombre a un valle, un río y una población parece proceder del aumentativo término Loza, oza, osa, que significa pastizal en el dialecto vasco guipuzcoano.
Parece ser que entre las huestes de Alfonso VI que ocuparon el valle de Lozoya, venían gentes del norte de la península, principalmente astur-leoneses y vascuences. Fueron ellos quienes poblaron o repoblaron el valle, y dieron nombre al lugar: LOZOIHA.
El valle fue disputado durante mucho tiempo por Segovia y Madrid. Fue gestionado por la denominada “Sociedad de Quiñones”, dependiente del Concejo de Segovia, y que obligaba a los que se establecieran en estas tierras “a fabricar casa y poseer caballo propio que valiera 200 maravedíes y sirviera para asir e portar lanza”. Parece que ya existían en la zona muchos campesinos y se necesitaban caballeros que defendiesen la zona. Los Quiñones de Lozoya son los antecedentes de los actuales municipios del valle. Estaban integrados en la Comunidad de Tierras de Segovia y defendían en comunidad sus intereses agropecuarios. Todos los habitantes del valle tenían los mismos derechos y estaban sujetos a las mismas leyes y jueces encargados de administrar la misma justicia para todos.
Los concejos representados por los Quiñones estaban sujetos a Lozoya, y lograron independizarse de su jurisdicción en los últimos años del reinado de los Reyes Católicos, quienes intentaron controlar el amplísimo poder autónomo de los municipios mediante los “corregimientos”. La figura jurídica que da vida a los corregimientos es el “corregidor”, un supervisor del Rey, que dirige los destinos del municipio junto al alcalde. El corregidor llega a adquirir tal poder e importancia con el paso del tiempo, que desplaza de sus funciones a los ayuntamientos elegidos por los pueblos, convirtiéndose el poder concejil, de democrático en autocrático, puesto que se necesitaba el visto bueno del corregidor en cualquier decisión que tomase el ayuntamiento.(Fuente : Rutas con Historia)

The cold has really set in here in the UK and there's the possibility of snow today and I'm dreaming of the Spring and warmer weather! :-) This artwork is from a photo I took at a local Garden Centre recently.
“You want me to give her a key?" the guy asked.
"I want you to give her a possibility," she told him. "And that's what a key represents. An open door, a chance. You know?”

Epithalamium ... Carol Ann Duffy Rings
For both to say
I might have raised your hand to the sky
to give you the ring surrounding the moon
looked to twin the rings of your eyes with mine
I might have tied a blade of grass ...
I whispered the word in your ear
that brought us here,
where nothing and no one is wrong,
and therefore I give you this ring...
Pictorial Perspective of a Realistic View over the Possibilities ...
Thoughts while getting ready for another ceremony tonight ...
Wishing them every Blesssing for their Future together ...

One of the inner hobbies extending from photography is getting lost somewhere, this moment was no exception. When one can observe, record and appreciate the environment and all the while not really know where you are, that is the hallmark of exploration and it’s a beautiful experience.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you 😊
