The moment you realized you should have checked the weather channel before taking the bet, to shovel the neighborhood if it ever got hit with a snowstorm. Damn you, Jack Daniels...damn you to hell, for making me take that bet!!!
As the air thickens with smoke and we all sit and wonder what is next... we realize we just need to breathe....
please note I may not be able to post for a bit due to fires in our area but I will be back ♥☺

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

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.
This male cardinal posed forever - - I realized he wasn't right - - I'm not positive but he appears to be missing the back half of his crest. He did fly about and came and went from the area; it was just really odd that he posed for so long.

Just open your eyes and realize the way it's always been
Just open your mind and you will find the way it's always been
Just open your heart and that's a start
What I didn't realize until I was processing the image, is what the artist was saying. "Guns-N-Roses", the rock group. The rose made out of sand is pretty amazing. Hopefully, I can make it back there again next year.
My inspiration for this picture: In The End - By Linkin Park
When worries overwhelm you and you fade away . . . .
The feeling that you're losing yourself, losing everything that means anything to you. . . . . .
You're crying and desperate and there's nothing left no matter how hard you try . . . .
Hope is lost and you realize that everything you've ever done is meaningless. . . . . .
Do you know this feeling?

I realize that I've taken a little break from concert photos (which some of you might be happy by) but I'll never get over my love affair with music. That's just the type of human I am. Last night at the Empty Bottle in Chicago, I saw a band named Big Joanie, who are a very politically progressive feminist punk band. More photos and a review here:

Whether you’ve realized it or not, if you’ve been to Paris you’ve probably seen the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte, at least from a distance. Napoleon is buried inside the Dôme Des Invalides at Les Invalides (officially the Hôtel National des Invalides). The bright, gold dome of the chapel reaches high into the sky and stands out on the Paris landscape like a glittering beacon. 248
Never realized before that this "Chi-ca-go", "Chi-ca-go" is the onomatopoeia for the rallying cry of the California Quails… (Don't ask me to say this prase outloud, I am French after all ) Why not "Sa-cra-men-to" or "Vic-to-ria "… I don’t know. We moved into a more rural part of the Greater Victoria last December and I am so happy to see that we have a healthy population of California Quails around here. We initially had quite a few of them in our previous neighborhood in Saanich (we lioved there for 15 years) , but they all seem to disappear over the years. Apparently, they are heavily predated by the feral cats. The number I see here right now is very encouraging and I hope to be able to photograph them in the Winter, this would be especially nice on one of those rare snowy day. This one was caught on a trail in the woods around Metchosin not around our home. Unfortunately very high ISO.
"People don't realize now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind." - Eckhart Tolle
When I really think about it, I see the truth in this quote. It sounds silly, but the thought started while I remembered my anticipation of these grape hyacinths I planted years ago. Years went by with only foliage popping up...no blooms. Every year I would wait, get super excited...and be super disappointed. This year, I was finally rewarded with some long awaited blooms.
So the question is...and not just about flowers, about anything we experience in life...what's the best part: the anticipation, that's full of hope and fantasies...or the memories that can be looked back on in thought and in pictures? I think it's some combination of both...reminiscing old adventures while anticipating new ones....
Please view large. Have a wonderful Thursday, my friends :-)
I realize this won't be to everyone's taste, and it was different for me as well. But I had to take it. I probably have to describe what this is, as I wouldn't even know if I hadn't taken it :)
I was walking on the outer walkway of the second floor of a building with the sun shining in from the left. There was a wooden railing to the left and the building was to the right, with windows from floor to ceiling. As I only had my Pentacon AV lens with me, and it has a fixed aperture of f2.8, I could either focus on the foreground or the background, and I tried both, but choose the foreground focus, leaving the entire rest of the image in bokeh. So what you see is the railing, the shadows from it, and the reflections duplicated in the windows at the right, with the window frames in the centre, but not entirely symmetrical. Hope that makes sense!
“I was terrified as only grown men and women can be when they wake in the middle of the night and begin to realize, in the absolute silence and solitude all around them, that it is not only their dream that has woken them, that it is their whole way of life.”

Many don’t realize that two thirds of Oregon is considered high desert, and that something like the Alvord Desert exists in our gorgeous state. One of the great things about Oregon is how diverse the geology and landscape is, and that you can visit the coast one day, and be in the Alvord Desert camping on the playa and staring up at the milky way the next. (from That Oregon Life)
The Alvord Desert is one of the largest playas in Oregon at six miles wide and eleven miles long. This remote playa sits at approximately 4,000 feet in elevation and is the perfect place to camp and enjoy nature.
I was told by another camper, that this crystalline substance on the lake is an alkaline salt deposit. What ever it is, it is crunchy and has a bit of sparkle when the sun catches it right.
This was taken very early in the morning. It was still quite cold but since you can drive out on the playa I kept jumping back in my car to get warm.
..... didn´t realized I was the dinner, though !!
It´s no shortcut to church, but I guess that is my destination anyway.... eventually.

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 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!"
In Minnesota we are all very used to winter, and we all have that moment when we realize it is finally here and here to stay. Not many days after I took this photo, the North Shore received another 20" of fresh snow. It truly is a winter wonderland up there right now! Sometimes it feels like time just keeps flying by, we are near the end of another year and another year closer to the end. Sometimes when the seasons change it can feel easy to get lost in time or even lost in life. What is the meaning? What is the purpose? Another year is ending only to be replaced by another one coming. If we chose to look at life like this it can feel so shallow. We were made for more than to watch the sun rise and set day after day and with the years pass by. There is more to life than this. We are created for something more. We are called for something so much greater!
When that day came, I didn’t allow other people to dictate how I should feel or act. I learned there was no shame in imperfection because history had shown being different had the power to change perspectives and eventually the world. This is when I realized that flaws had responsibility. This was the day that I learned I was truly BLESSED.”

Back to black and white and shadows … I realize I haven’t posted a shadow shot in over a year, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t taken them :)
I didn't know Mr. Louis Mendes when I saw him in NYC subway, and unlikely he was noticed that I was taking the picture. A few months later I read an article about street photographers and realized that I took a picture of New York City icon!
I wrote an email to Mr. Louis Mendes and grant the permission to post this picture here.
Many thanks to Mr. Louis Mendes.

“That’s the magic of literature. We read a story, and something happens. We don’t know what or why, nor which sentence was responsible, but the world has changed and will never be the same again. Sometimes it take us several years to realize that a book tore a hole in reality through which we could escape from the pettiness and despondency of our surroundings” ~ The Book of Dreams
When I realized that the sunrise was going to be better than I had excpected, I had to run to get to a better vantage point. Yesterday's and today's images were the result of my running. It was fun!
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)

Thanks to all who take the time to view, comment on and favor my images. It is very much appreciated.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand— when I awake, I am still with you.

... realized how powerful your thoughts are, you’d never think a negative thought again.

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 suppose I don’t realize how often I make comments about cows when I’m in the car with Norm… which makes me wonder what it would be like if I were ever to see a transcript of my own running monologue.
Perish the thought.
We were out near Cambridge and, as I’ve mentioned in the past, Norm is especially good at exploring backroads (and finding his way out of them too). We had passed a few farms and I must have said something about looking for cows and he asked, ‘What is it with you and cows?’ I wasn’t sure how to answer that exactly because, after all, most of the time cows just stand there in the field munching. I expect it’s something about their big faces I like...or maybe it's the influence of those Elsie commercials when I was a kid.
So each time Norm saw cows he’d stop the car and I’d check to make sure the farmer wasn’t around, suspicious that I was from some government agency sneaking about early on a Sunday morning.
As it happened, the only ones suspicious of me were the cows.

The Other Side of Town (a photo series)
This photo shows the ghosted remnants of the Standard Oil Company logo clinging to this weathered facade on East Nevada Street in Marshalltown, Iowa. The grand old building stands as a silent eulogy to an era of unbridled Midwestern industrial dominance. However, decades of harsh Iowa weather have slowly bleached away the corporate emblem, transforming a once-ubiquitous mark of economic certainty into a faint, bleeding artifact of the past. Now abandoned, it is a portrait of corporate transience, with the vanishing emblem serving as a powerful visual metaphor for shifting global monopolies and the hollow architecture left in their wake.
About the Project
The Other Side of Town series invites you to closely examine the overlooked- and perhaps even avoided spaces around us. In photographing these scenes, my focus was on the striking tension between these enduring structures and the haunting absence of the people who built, inhabited, and worked within them.
Empty streets, abandoned homes, industrial areas, and neglected structures serve as portraits of culture, mapped through the traces we leave behind. Within these frames, the ordinary and the unsightly acquire an unexpected beauty- revealing powerful visual metaphors for transience, social inequality, and the lingering echo of human presence.
Looking through this series of photos may encourage you to see your own hometown differently. Ultimately, these overlooked surroundings may reveal more about our collective psyche and the unsettled time that we inhabit- maybe more than we realize- or care to admit.
