For me, presentation is part of the work, a way to voice the maker’s thoughts of his subject. I don’t think it can add appeal... perhaps more like clarity. I have begun to set some of my photographs before the public in small galleries these days and I find that imagining how something you have worked on looks to others’ eyes is as difficult as knowing what we look like if we are not looking at ourselves.
My neighbor, without realizing, has the most wonderful array of flowers that attract butterflies. exico, Central America, West Indies, and parts of South America). Today this lovely Gulf Fritillary was feasting there. The underside of the wings are brownish/orange with elongated silvery white spots. Adults are migrating southward to frost-free portions of their range (Southern U.S. south through MI’ll post a pic of the upper wings later.
As the air thickens with smoke and we all sit and wonder what is next... we realize we just need to breathe....

2 a.m. and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season"
Yeah, we walk through the doors, so accusing, their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize
Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe
Oh, breathe, just breathe
This male Wood Duck showed up at my pond...almost missed him... at first I thought he was a Mallard...upon closer inspection
viewed thru my camera I realized he was a stray Wood Duck!!! He stayed long enough that I was able to get lots and lots of pictures of him....some a wee bit too far, that's what the delete button is for, but he did manage to come close enough to where I was hiding ...in my bird blind so I was able to get some keepers!! The lighting wasn't the best, but I was pleased that the water was clear- that the algae hasn't taken over the pond water yet!!
Thanks for viewing, commenting on and/or faving this image as it is greatly appreciated!! Have a great weekend, stay safe and healthy!!💕😊
I realize it may sound innocent - perhaps naive - but one of the most surprising things to me about visiting Alaska was the rich color palette of the terrain. Despite being deep in Alaska, less than 250 miles from the Arctic Circle, the sun still holds its reign over the summer climate...and with nearly 24 hours of light, the vegetation has ample opportunity to grow.
Certainly, global warming, and glacial melt plays a role in seeing the deeply colored mountain range in the distance. It was surprising to me to learn that much of the green you see along the park road in Denali is vegetation growing atop the glaciers. All-in-all, I highly recommend taking the Kantishna bus tour (11-hours) in Denali, as it is the only method of getting deep into the park, with the opportunities to see as much of the geology, geography, .and wildlife possible.
While the namesake mountain is the primary calling card of this National Park, and rightfully so, it is only seen clearly by approximately 1/3 of the park's visitors, due to the near constant cloud cover. There is so much more, in terms of the vastness, grandeur, remoteness, and ecologic importance of this region to be experienced than simply the sight of Denali looming large above the subarctic plateau.

Today please rock me softly, because it is the day after Xday. On Wednesday this week I realized an "old" wish. Since month I'm training for a personal marathon around the Lake Constance in one day. And so I did. I started at 5 o'clock in the morning and finished the marathon at 8 o'clock in the evening. I made some breaks for short relaxing, photographing, eating and drinking. I did not want to finish the marathon in a special time. I only wanted to drive the 229 km in one day. And this was what I did. Local hero for myself.
So we all know now that "Cowboys ride harder" but please kill me softly with your smile after this really hard marathon. I was so tired after the marathon...;) Today I started the day with biking over the hill to buy fresh milk and eggs from the farmer. Also a really long and hard tour of 10 km...;)
Regards, Yarin

Looking back of the year, I realized that I was very inactive in Flickr in 2019. Greatly thanks to Flickr friends who still come to visit my Photostream, giving me favorites and comments. In the last day of this year I decided to post my 3rd picture for 2019 as a closing. Wish you all a happy New Year 2020!!

Lyrics:
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
The moment you realize
Those moments just pass you by
Gonna take you to paradise
Move it
Make you prove it, yeah
Breakin' out
Break it down
Feel the chill, feel the chill
Movin' down your spine
When we recall and realize
Make you realize
I've got the power to hypnotize
Make a play, mesmerize
Feel the chills up and down your spine
I'm gonna make you fly
And your eyes playin' tricks on you
And your mind will seek the truth
You know you're gonna make it through
I said, move it
Make you prove it
Shake it out
Shake it down
Feel the chill, feel the chill
Movin' down your spine
When we recall and realize, hey yeah
Gonna make you realize
I got the power to electrify
Make or break or satisfy
And feel a chill up and down your spine
I'm gonna make you fly
Fly, fly
When we recall and realize
Gonna make you realize
I got the power to hypnotize
Make a play, mesmerize
Feel the chills up and down your spine
I'm gonna make you fly
It's the moment you realize that the treasure you held in your hands you couldn't hold on to. In memory of Bart Bader, whom I sorely miss. 💕

"You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us?
Another star, you fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us alight
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Was it all in my fantasy?
Where are you now?
Were you only imaginary?
Where are you now?
Atlantis, under the sea, under the sea
Where are you now? Another dream
The monster's running wild inside of me
I'm faded, I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded, I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded!"
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
True colours are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
True colours are beautiful
Like a rainbow
[Whisper:] Can't remember, when I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
True colours
True colours are shining through
I see your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
True colours are beautiful
Like a rainbow
I just realized how long I haven't been to my beloved Elbe Sandstone Mountains. It's been a shocking 8 months now. I can not believe it.
Even though I've been to some beautiful places in the meantime, I really regret that I just didn't have the time.
To account for this and to remind myself that I would like to spend a day here again as soon as possible, I pull a previously unpublished photo from my archive.
The memory of that magnificent sunrise on mt. Lilienstein eases my pain somewhat and I hope the sight of the soft clouds floating over the forests and fields, bathed in an orange-pink light by the rising sun, brings you some joy.
Gerade ist mir bewusst geworden, wie lange ich nun schon nicht mehr in meinem geliebten Elbsandsteingebirge unterwegs war. Das ist jetzt schon schockierende 8 Monate her. Ich fasse es nicht.
Auch wenn ich in der Zwischenzeit an einigen wunderschönen Orten war bedaure ich es doch sehr, dass mir hierzu die Zeit einfach gefehlt hat.
Um dem Rechnung zu tragen und um mich daran zu erinnern, dass ich sobald wie möglich wieder einen Tag hier verbringen möchte, hole ich ein bisher unveröffentlichtes Foto aus meinem Archiv.
Die Erinnerung an diesen grandiosen Sonnenaufgang auf dem Lilienstein lindert meinen Schmerz etwas und ich hoffe, der Anblick von den weichen Wolken, die über den Wäldern und Feldern schweben, von der aufgehenden Sonne in ein orange rosa Licht getaucht,bereitet Euch etwas Freude.

"I finally realized that people are prisoners of their phones... that's why it's called a "cell" phone." Anonymous
Turning backwards, it is realized that in this high point of the ruins of the Pilaloma there are other ruins of the two lateral enclosures with their doors facing the Castle. These two enclosures leave a narrow intermediate runner of 0.80m which, coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the entire trapezoid, advances to its major base. Interestingly, the corridor divides into two elongated sections equal to Pilaloma, and goes through the Wanka that marks the multiple tomb. All these elements (geometry, tomb, wanka, corridor, orientation, etc.) have led to interpret the site as a testimony of something more transcendent of the Cañari culture. Indeed, the latest archaeoastronomic studies assert that the corridor and the wanka were associated with the observation of the sun on the summer solstice, on June 21.

It´s no shortcut to church, but I guess that is my destination anyway.... eventually.

Moment at San Monique:
I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. If you're interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it fullspeed. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it.
i realize that i have not written much here over the past few years. and i am a writer, first and foremost. how odd, to have abandoned the opportunity to paint with words, with sounds and rhythms, offer a complement to the images. so ...
i suppose if you are the kind of person who has a predilection for words, then you will read further. if not, well, there are many images in this stream (including this one, i hope) that speak their own language. :)
i have walked this path, this sentiero. i have walked it, felt the cold autumn air wash over me, the warmth of the sun on my face. i have seen deer bounding across the crests of the hills and pheasants skittering across the surface of the deeply plowed earth, the clay, the crete senesi. i have stood in the midst of this great space, small, very small amidst the waves of autumn blues and greys. i have felt this place, experienced it. and forgotten it. it takes so little time for memories to fade. it takes a conscious effort to preserve them. i work diligently to live in the moment, so diligently at times that i forget. and while the present is the only reality, the past does provide its context, the future does offer some hope, and my memory, though fallible, is not simply a nostalgic salve to ease my aging mind. it's a part of who i am, what i am likely to become.
i have walked this path, seen it anew. and remembered.

I realize that it is probably not a "barn" (probably a tool shed or work area) but I liked the title anyway. I spotted this beautiful autumn scene near Woodstock, Vermont. The light and fall colors were incredible. (Edited in Photoshop and Lightroom)
I visited Nancy in 2019. It was quite cold, albeit early fall. When I arrived there, I realized with dismay that I had forgotten my usual lens. All my photos of Nancy are therefore taken with a telephoto lens. So I had to handle myself : I didn't take everything I wanted, but I took other types of photos instead. Fortunately, they were also good.
The program of the week-end was busy, with a visit to the old town and Place Stanislas, and a tour of the high places of 1900 Art Nouveau, of which Nancy is one of the capitals.
Art Nouveau is not my cup of tea, but the city is magnificent.
It is not possible to visit Nancy without evoking King Stanislas, because we find his traces everywhere in the city. In the 18th century, Stanislas Leszczynski was a former king of Poland and had been dethroned. His daughter, Marie Leszczynska had married the King of France Louis XV. He had been made Duke of Lorraine by King Louis XV. He will be the last Duke of Lorraine from 1737 to 1766. On his death, the Duchy of Lorraine will be reunited with France.
King Louis XV had given him a generous pension. This enabled him to maintain a brilliant court and to embellish Nancy, his capital. In particular, Place Stanislas, which he commissioned, is an architectural masterpiece that fully deserves its immense fame. It has been listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We are here in front of Sainte-Catherine's gate, one of the 4 triumphal arches of Nancy. The monument is named in honor of Queen Catherine, wife of King Stanislas, and was built in 1761.

En visite à Nancy
J'ai visité Nancy en 2019. Il faisait plutôt froid, bien qu'au début de l'automne. En arrivant sur place, j'ai réalisé avec consternation que j'avais oublié mon objectif habituel. Toutes mes photos de Nancy sont donc prises au téléobjectif. J'ai dû me débrouiller : je n'ai pas pris tout ce que je voulais, mais j'ai pris d'autres types de photos à la place. Elles étaient heuseusement aussi réussies.
Le progranne du week-end était chargé, avec visite de la vieille ville et de la place Stanislas, et un tour des hauts lieu de l'Art Nouveau 1900 dont Nancy est une des capitales.
L'Art Nouveau n'est pas ma tasse de thé, mais la ville est magnifique.
Il n'est pas possible de visiter Nancy sans évoquer le roi Stanislas, car on retrouve partout ses traces dans la ville. Au 18ème siècle. Stanislas Leszczynski était un ancien roi de Pologne et avait été détrôné. Sa fille, Marie Leszczynska avait épousé le roi de France Louis XV. Il avait été fait duc de Lorraine par le roi Louis XV. Il sera le dernier duc de Lorraine de 1737 à 1766. A sa mort, le duché de Lorraine sera réuni à la France.
Le roi Louis XV lui avait donné une généreuse pension. Cela lui a permis d'entretenir une cour brillante et d'embellir Nancy, sa capitale. Notamment, la place Stanislas qu'il a fait réaliser est un chef d'oeuvre d'architecture qui mérite largement son immmense renommée. ELle a été inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.
Nous sommes ici devant la porte Sainte-Catherine, un des 4 arcs de triomphe de Nancy. Le monument est dénommé ainsi en l'honneur de la reine Catherine, femme du roi Stanislas, et a été bâti en 1761.

These two horses were nuzzling on their side of the fence today. It made me realize how much a simple touch or gesture can bring such warmth to the soul. I hope you get some nuzzle time in on this Fence Friday.
I realize how blessed I am, knowing that my grandchildren enjoy collaborating with their artworks. Good time spent, and hopefully, good memories for them.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

I realized there were a lot more ducks in Saskatchewan than in Ontario or Quebec. But they are all equally skittish, being hunted everywhere, they don't easily approach human beings and I understand them.
Il y a tellement de canards en Saskakchewan, c'est vraiment impressionnant. Mais tous aussi peureux les uns des autres, ils ne se laissent pas approcher et ne s'approchent pas des êtres humains facilement non plus.

if they're the right one, you won't have to tell them not to cheat, to unfollow their exes, or to respect you when you're not around. you won't have to teach them how to treat you at all.
While driving along the Kings Canyon we realized it was only a couple hours to sunset. Importantly we had not decided any place where we wanted to get the sunset. For a change it was drizzling all afternoon and I was thinking of getting some nice post-rain clouds for the sunset. We finally decided to drive back to Sequoia and get the sunset at the Moro Rock. It was about an hour away from the Kings Canyon National Park.
As we arrived at the spot after climbing like 500 stairs, we were greeted with this awesome view. This is the west side where all the magic was happening.
The stairs go right to the top, an exasperating climb but completely worth the effort. At times a bit unsafe as the railings are absent, but no biggy! Excellent place to watch stars if you stay late on the top. This was taken from about half climb where there is a small balcony put out to watch the wavy valley.
The windy roads down the valley looked tempting. I instantly wanted to get the light trails of the cars driving back from the NP. I stayed up late and tried many exposures before I was sure about the settings. About 20min after the sunset I started to see the trials in 3-4min exposures but still the top of the photograph was too exposed. Had to wait a bit more for the light on the top to get less intense. The worry was the valley can get too dark! This was my third and final shot with a 6min exposure after the sun was completely down. Eventually, I realized its only a 15min window when the light is right to expose the shot right and get the trails distinct enough to stand out of the scene. The lights in the back is Visalia and Tulare.
Will post a few more shots from a day before.

I did not realize that zucchini is so fascinating...
The fruit is ready when the female zucchini flowers. You can harvest the flowers and the swollen zucchini attached to it as soon as you see those orange, yellow petals. The male flowers, however, are produced on long, thin stalks with no such swelling.
"And that is when I realized, I had so much within me to share, to love and to be thankful for. I could conquer the world with just my smile, apart from my art and stories. Through my solitude, I can be happy and love myself as much as I love others, always..."
P.S. I finally decided to finally put an end to this series. I started this August 28th 2020 and today is ironically Jan 27 2021, it took 4 months to bloom. If you look from the beginning to the end of the album, you will see a surprising transition. This last picture was completely unexpected. I will thank 8f8 Creation for that little note on the Retracing Joy - Bathroom Essentials. And for all other cute messages in most of his creations, they are so uplifting! I also borrowed Sapphy to pose for me because she always reminds me of what is essential. I didn't expect I'd use someone else for this series but it sort of fits.
Here is a summary of the series.

You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you, realize what you had
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago (Who told me)
Just hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling to tightly
You're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
It's so damn easy, when your feelings are such
To overprotect her, to love her too much
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago (Who told me)
Just hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tight babe
You're gonna loose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
Don't let her slip away
Sentimental fool
Don't let your heart get in her way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
