for decades I had a recurring nightmare…
my screams would awaken me
terrified, crying, frozen - unable to move,
my eyes wildly searching the dark room for movement
struggling to quiet my frantic breathing
for fear he would hear me, find me,
and kill me.
It was always the same man in my nightmare
I knew the man’s name and face and story
he had been my husband for years
until I escaped.
- - me
following my own path.
learning to sit with uncertainty.
embracing impermanence.
training the dragon in my heart.
reflecting on the mind,
so excitable, so uncertain,
so difficult to control.
inhale love… exhale doubt.
❣️ 💙 📷 🐄 🐾 🐎 💋

a soldier of peace
in the army of love.
These trees are one of my favourites when driving along State Highway 2 between Waipawa and Havelock North, Hawke's Bay.. This photo was taken just after sunrise when the sun was barely visible above the hills to the east of the trees. Thin streams of mist, lit up by the sun, were gently floating in the valley and I patiently waited for some of them to appear around the trees.
This group of trees is a regular subject of my photography. Have a look here for more: www.josbuurmans.nz/portfolio/hawkes-bay-recurring-trees

The photo is taken from one of my favorite (and recurring...) places along the Coastal Karst ridge, near Mount Belvedere (Banovski hrib, 448m a.s.l., Trieste Karst, Italia), which extends North and East of the City.
The entire Karst Region, between Italia, Slovenija and Hrvatska is part of the Northern Dinarides.
The City is located in a beautiful geographical context and is an excellent starting point for quick day trips from the Eastern Alps to Northern Croatia.
Recurring memories, of dreams, of day to day conversations intertwined, a blurring of boundaries, of heartfelt questioning, am I safe? Love says Yes, of course, that's all ....
Just kidding, that's Venus, but close enough. I stopped for this photo last night as I was driving by, and was reminded to always pause and enjoy life's small, beautiful moments no matter how crazy the world might seem. Today I'm reminded of this scene:
To quote from Whitman,
“O me, O life of the questions of these recurring. Of the endless trains of the faithless. Of cities filled with the foolish. What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer: that you are here. That life exists and identity. That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.”
“That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.”
What will your verse be?
La Muntanya de Sal és un fenomen natural únic al món i encara avui creix a mesura que la pluja l’erosiona. Els seus 120 metres són només la punta d’un enorme diapir de prop de dos quilòmetres de profunditat.
Durant anys, esdevingué una de les mines de sal potàssica més importants del món, Mina Nieves de Cardona (1929-1990). Avui, el vell recinte miner és el Parc Cultural de la Muntanya de Sal, un gran equipament cultural que pretén divulgar la importància de la sal, l’excepcionalitat geològica del jaciment i l’aprofitament que l’home ha fet d’aquest recurs natural durant segles.

Western Kingbirds were a recurring sight for much of the eastern leg of my journey north but Lincoln National Forest was only the second and last stop where I saw Cassin's Kingbirds. This one was working a field of dried seed stalks for insects, pausing for a portrait pose between dives to the ground.
The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, marking the official end of World War I. Nonetheless, the armistice date of November 11, 1918, remained in the public imagination as the date that marked the end of the conflict.
One year later, in November 1919, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day. The day’s observation included parades and public gatherings, as well as a brief pause in business and school activities at 11 a.m.
On November 11, 1921, an unidentified American soldier killed in the war was buried at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C. On the same day the previous year, unidentified soldiers were laid to rest at Westminster Abbey in London and at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
Did you know? Red poppies, a symbol of World War I from their appearance in the beloved poem "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae, are sold in Canada and the United Kingdom on Remembrance Day to raise money for veterans or worn in the lapel as a tribute.
On June 4, 1926, Congress passed a resolution that the “recurring anniversary of [November 11, 1918] should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations,” and that the president should issue an annual proclamation calling for the observance of Armistice Day.
By that time, 27 state legislatures had made November 11 a legal holiday. An act approved May 13, 1938 made November 11 a legal Federal holiday, “dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as ‘Armistice Day.'”
In actuality, there are no U.S. national holidays because the states retain the right to designate their own, and the government can only designate holidays for federal employees and for the District of Columbia. In practice, however, states almost always follow the federal lead.
From Armistice Day to Veterans Day
American effort during World War II saw the greatest mobilization of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force in the nation’s history (more than 16 million people); some 5.7 million more served in the Korean War.
In 1954, after lobbying efforts by veterans’ service organizations, the 83rd U.S. Congress amended the 1938 act that had made Armistice Day a holiday, striking the word “Armistice” in favor of “Veterans.” President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the legislation on June 1, 1954. From then on, November 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.
The next development in the story of Veterans Day unfolded in 1968, when Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which sought to ensure three-day weekends for federal employees—and encourage tourism and travel—by celebrating four national holidays (Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day and Columbus Day) on Mondays.
The observation of Veterans Day was set as the fourth Monday in October. The first Veterans Day under the new law was Monday, October 25, 1971; confusion ensued, as many states disapproved of this change, and continued to observe the holiday on its original date.
In 1975, after it became evident that the actual date of Veterans Day carried historical and patriotic significance to many Americans, President Gerald Ford signed a new law returning the observation of Veterans Day to November 11th beginning in 1978. If November 11 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the federal government observes the holiday on the previous Friday or following Monday, respectively. Government offices are closed on Veterans Day.
With Respect, Honor and Gratitude to all Veterans
Lorsqu'on s'intéresse aux métaphores de la fragilité, les œufs sont souvent un thème récurrent. Ils constituent également une force motrice dans la pratique de Larisa Safaryan , qui s'articule depuis longtemps autour des thèmes de la délicatesse et du renouveau.
Mais plutôt que d'utiliser les coquilles d'œufs comme simple support sculptural, Safaryan les disperse dans ses peintures abstraites.
°°°°°°°°
When considering metaphors for fragility, eggs are often a recurring theme. They also happen to be a guiding force throughout Larisa Safaryan’s practice, which has long revolved around themes of delicacy and renewal.
But, rather than simply using eggshells as a sculptural base, Safaryan scatters them across her abstract paintings.

Excerpt from www.oakvillegalleries.com/exhibitions/details/228/Sascha-...:
Sascha Braunig's paintings and drawings are exercises in colour, form, and illusion. Citing an artistic lineage that stretches from the Pictures Generation through to the Chicago Imagists and horror-movie practical effects, her sometimes barbed, tubular, netted, or neon-lit forms speak of many of the tensions of the current moment, such as being a subject within the grid of digital or gender systems.
In this exhibition, which stretches over both Oakville Galleries sites, the Canada-born, US-based artist brings together new and recent works that are based on the compositional motif of figures engaged in conflict with a dress-like structure. These works use material qualities to analogize an immaterial idea: the feeling of struggling with a system more powerful than you, in which you are also deeply entangled.
Braunig builds and uses three-dimensional models as visual aids in the making of her work, some of which are included in the exhibition. Because of this observational painting practice, she sees her work as being linked to the academic nineteenth-century painter's use of the “lay figure," a jointed doll, not quite to-scale, that artists used as a stand-in for a live model in the studio. The exhibition's title, Lay Figure, refers to this historical practice, but Braunig extends its meaning to the schematic wiry figure that recurs in her recent work. Here she imagines the lay figure coming into a life of its own, squirming to free itself from rigid systems and resisting its status as the inanimate muse in patriarchal painting's history.
Nobody expects the "Spanish Inquisition".
The Spanish Inquisition was a Catholic tribunal that operated in Spain and its colonies from 1478 for about three centuries. It was established by Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon.
"The Spanish Inquisition" is an episode and recurring segment in the British sketch comedy TV series Monty Python's Flying Circus, specifically series 2 episode 2 (first broadcast 22 September 1970), that satirises the Spanish Inquisition. The sketches are notable for the catchphrase, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!", which has been frequently quoted and become an Internet meme.
Seeing recurring numbers is thought to be a sign that the universe is trying to get your attention. It’s a sort of signal from unseen forces that are attempting to shift your focus to important life matters that you need to address or work on. So if you often pause and take note of the time when the numbers are repeating it’s perfectly normal and it means that your higher self, spirit guides, or angels are trying to connect and get through to you. By the way ... 111 is a wake up call from the Universe....to pay attention to what's going on around you and who you are with. 222 is partners and relationships... pay attention to who is showing up in your world. 333 ... mind, body, soul.... check what's out of balance. Hmmmm.... interesting!! (LOL!)

I wanna hear your voice
A love that nobody could destroy
Took photographs like Brautigan's book covers
That we both adored
And when you go away
I still see you
The sunlight on your face in my rearview
This always happens to me this way
Recurring visions of such sweet days

Breaking news: Griffin-like creature breaks havoc in central Copenhagen ! I shot this scaffolding a few times already without much success, but I love how they opened the decoration this morning ! This is also the first picture I am posting taken from my phone, which might become a more recurring thing, now that I am better equipped on that front.
Following reports of this comet in outburst in the latter half of Dec 2015/early days of 2016, the first opportunity I had to get a look at home was 7 January 2016. A very clear but windy night with seeing approx 5/10.
Through my binoculars: Estimated mag. 8.5, coma diameter 4'.
Comet was passing very close to a mag 14.5 star at the time which threw me off quite a bit during processing.
Equipment used:
Skywatcher 120ED Esprit (polar aligned)
Celestron AVX
Field flattener
Unmodded Canon 700D
47 Light frames
27 Dark frames
27 Flat frames
160 Bias frames
18 mins integration time. (all at 25 secs, ISO 1600)
Stacked in DSS: Median Kappa Sigma once with comet, once with stars.
Final processing in CS5 using Hubl method.
It's taken me a while to get this done as I've had a recurring headache since I shot the frames!

This photograph presents a sea of Daylilies, a symphony in yellow, bathed in soft sunlight. The focus is on the undulating waves of vibrant yellow blooms, interspersed with unopened buds poised to join the chorus. These flowers, known for their ephemeral beauty, are captured at the height of their one-day performance, exuding cheer and vitality. The green blades of foliage form an intricate dance of lines and patterns, creating a lush tapestry that cradles each blossom. Light and shadow play hide and seek across the petals and leaves, adding depth and dimension to the scene. As a collective, the Daylilies offer a breathtaking glimpse into the recurring cycles of nature, reminding us of the fleeting, yet recurring joy that each new day can bring.
Marasmiellus ramealis is a little white parachute-like mushroom that often grows at or above head height, first appearing in springtime and recurring throughout summer and autumn on twigs and small branches of conifers and deciduous broadleaf trees. (It is also a common sight on dead bramble stems.) (www.first-nature.com)

The idea of a "shadow government," a clandestine network wielding real power behind the scenes, is a recurring theme in conspiracy theories. This concept suggests that elected officials are mere figureheads, while unelected individuals or groups secretly control policy and exert influence over government actions.
Recent history all over the world but especially in the USA makes me think they are not just "conspiracy theories".
I'm including another one of my underwater photos.
We are here at a depth of about 10 meters in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Key Largo, Florida.
For once, what I saw here wasn't a sea creature. But it impressed me no less.
Never in my life would I have expected to find here a statue of Christ about 3 meters tall. But there it was, standing there, arms outstretched, looking up toward the water's surface.
The symbolism of this posture in this location immediately fascinated and moved me.
It's as if he, trapped in this dark and wet prison, is crying out for air and freedom.
This image may be a bit macabre, and you don't have to share it. But I immediately felt an oppressive feeling when I saw this sculpture. And this feeling recurs whenever I look at this photo.
Ich streue mal wieder eines meiner Unterwasser Fotos mit ein.
Wir befinden uns hier in ca. 10 Metern Tiefe im Atlantik vor der Küste von Key Largo in Florida.
Das was ich hier gesehen habe war ausnahmsweise mal kein Meeresbewohner. Doch es hat mich deswegen nicht weniger beeindruckt.
Nie im Leben hätte ich damit gerechnet, dass ich hier auf eine ca. 3 Meter hohe Christus Statue treffe. Doch da stand sie die Arme und den Blick nach oben in Richtung Wasseroberfläche gereckt.
Die Symbilk dieser Körperhaltung an dieser Standort hat mich schlagartig fasziniert und ergriffen.
Es ist als würde er, gefangen in diesem dunklen und nassen Gefängnis, nach Luft und nach Freiheit rufen.
Möglicherweise ist diese Vorstellung etwas makaber und ihr müsst diese auch nicht teilen. Doch ich hatte sofort ein beklemmendes Gefühl, als ich diese Skulptur gesehen habe. Und dieses Gefühl kehrt auch immer wieder, wenn ich dieses Foto betrachte.
This scene was almost directly opposite the photo I posted yesterday (this is looking north). I don't usually photograph barns that are covered in silver metal (I find them unappealing in photos most of the time). This caught my attention because of the ragweed in front and the dramatic clouds behind, which as I explained in the previous photo were moving quickly and recurring throughout the day. Also, the cedar shingles are nice. As with the last photo, the clouds received no editing.

Marsh Bridge dates from the early 18th Century.
Extract from English Heritage:
DULVERTON CP Marsh Bridge at NGR SS 9069 2895
II Road bridge over River Barle. Probably C18, repaired 1818-9, altered 1866-7 when central pier removed and iron bridge inserted, parapet destroyed 1952, reconstructed in steel 1979-80. Early C19 repairs by John Stone, mid C19 alterations by County Surveyor, Arthur Whitehead, iron work by Hennet and Spink of Bridgewater. Flat bedded local stone, rubble voussoirs and steel.
Plan: semi-circular head arched outer bays, centre spanned by steel bridge resting on pointed cutwater piers. Latticework steel parapet, pyramid topped lattice work piers flanking centre span, recurring cross pattee motif.
The original use of cast iron was suggested in 1851 by the preceeding County Surveyor Richard Carver. A chapel of ease was erected in the mid C19 on the north bank beside the bridge by John Locke of Northmoor (not included), which burnt down 1908.

A recurring theme throughout the streets of Paris is the café culture. I captured this shot in the sixth arrondisement with my Olympus E-M1, Mark II camera.
One of a series of encounters with these creatures last summer, in a variety of locations. They seem to be flourishing around this part of the world, though provincially they are listed as a species of ‘special concern’. Shoreline development is one of the biggest pressures on the species, and the absence of shoreline development along the Ottawa River (flooding is a recurring risk, even with managed water levels) may explain their abundance here. The Ottawa has a very uneven bottom as it passes through the city, and this provides for access to food (the River is full of molluscs) and the overwintering capacity the species needs as well.

Sunday.... All in all... a good day. I ran my 5K. I didn't meet the goals that I set for myself... I came ever so close to one of them, and I know that not meeting it was my own fault... it was within my control and I blew it. But, it's OK, I was out there with alot of really good people. There's always next year and I'm running this one until I get it right (a recurring theme in my life... have you noticed?).
Family, friends and coworkers that supported me turned in a $1770 donation to Special Olympics and I am so proud of them for being Super Heroes! 💥(THANK YOU! 💐)
The rains that were forecast held off so that we didn't have to stand out in the rain waiting to start. ☁️The cold temperature was perfect for running. My Disney princess sneakers were super comfy (although not magical 😔). I forgot about how much my shoulder has been hurting for the entire day. It was my second best LTC 5K run. 🏃♀️
Then I went to work and probably had far too much to laugh about.... but it is a good thing when you discover your purpose in life... and mine, at least at the workplace, seems to be to supply comic relief (at my own expense) Hey, I'm OK with that too! Yeah... all in all a good day! 👍💕😊
The Cornish-Windsor covered bridge, seen from a different vantage point than it's normally photographed. I've taken many photos of this historic structure over the years, but none from the air.
I had to take a couple of flights, dodging recurring storms, but I finally got a shot that I'm fairly happy with.
The Ross Jones Memorial Pool was built in 1947. It is located next to Coogee Surf Life Saving Club at the south end of Coogee Beach in Sydney. Waves from Coogee Beach spill over the concrete walls of the baths during high tide and rough seas. Very impressive. It was under repair when we visited as part of the recurring maintenance cycle so the composition is more focussed on the ocean vs pool connection. Will bring our swim gear next time.
In an earlier post I made mention of how amazed I am that these creators/artists keep managing to outdo them selves.
Six months ago at the last NEO JAPAN and as I posted here, I was raving about the quality of gifts offered each NEO JAPAN event by GABRIEL. I also mentioned that not one of the NEO JAPAN gifts would I have hesitated from purchasing and that October's off shoulder hoodie had been my favorite gift from Gabriel yet.
Well TAKUYA JIN has outdone himself AGAIN!!!
My first visit to the event, I had a problem with a lot of things not rezzing for me. I got to the GABRIEL booth and well, first of all I was blown away by a certain GACHA item and I just stood their in awe admiring it. After an eternity of that haha, I looked over and saw this awesome off shoulder jacket. I thought it was kick ass, said to myself "I am definitely BUYING that, lemme see how much it is." Well when I clicked to do so, it said ZERO linden, I thought I clicked on the demo icon, you see the sign beneath loudly marking it as a GIFT had not rezzed!! LMAO. Yes this jacket in the image is the gift, comes in both male and female versions and it's dope. I LOVE this jacket even more than the off shoulder hoodie. Really an ace piece.
There's only one shocker connected to this gift, I'll give everyone a clue, I am shocked. XD Shocked that for as much as I LOVE this jacket...that I came back the next day after getting it and I left that day with something from GABRIEL that I LOVE ten times more than this jacket!!!!
What's this??!!! You ask. Well, stay tuned you'll see. I'll give y'all another clue.
Back in the seventies, on Saturday Night Live, Garrett Morris had a recurring character who was a retired big league ball player. As with almost every recurring character during that iconic and legendary era of the show, this character had a catchphrase that became part of the public dialogue, that line was "Baseball has been Berry Berry good to me."
Well as is the case repeatedly for MOI..."Gacha machines have been BERRY BERRY good to me."
Acorn Woodpecker. Birder friends. Does this bill seem unusually long to you for an Acorn Woodpecker? It does to me. About a year to two years ago, I had a recurring Acorn Woodpecker with a deformed bill that was quite long. I'll put a link in the first comment. Any thoughts on whether this one might be a descendent?
Vlaamse Gaai - Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius) in flight.
A recurring theme: flying back and forth with acorns in autumn.
Still trying to get one to pass by closer.
They are very wary and veer off as soon as they spot you.
The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number (number of protons), electron configurations, and recurring chemical properties. This ordering shows periodic trends, such as elements with similar behavior in the same column. All elements from atomic numbers 1 (hydrogen) to 118 (ununoctium) have been discovered or synthesized, with the most recent additions (elements 113, 115, 117, and 118) being confirmed by the IUPAC on December 30, 2015.
Macromondays theme: "Periodic Table".

This image shows a dramatic and infrequent example of contact between two displaying male Sharp-tailed Grouse. This unfolded at a lek (accessible by permission) in southern Alberta, Canada. It is a privilege to be able to visit this place, although on this most recent occasion we were surprised and disappointed to have people who had clearly not made the required arrangements show up after the birds had started displaying (which could have potentially caused the Sharp-tailed Grouse to abandon a longstanding lek). This is a species sensitive to disturbance, which has lost many sites in recent times.
In another breach of the required etiquette, the same people who arrived late (and set up a tent rather than use the provided blind) left before the displays were completely finished — another possible cause of loss of this rare site. This represented a further instance of thoughtlessness, apparently prompted by the desire to get a few photos. I’m a bird photographer myself, and this appalling behaviour is what can alienate people who then judge others by this kind of selfish nonsense.
Hopefully such inconsideration will not recur and the birds at this amazing location will continue to utilize it for their essential breeding activity, while thoughtful and cooperative people will have the opportunity to experience a powerful aspect of Nature’s ways
From early times the main source of income in the town of Sheringham on the North Norfolk coast has been fishing. In the late 1800s there were upwards of 200 fishing boats operating from here. As the fishing industry flourished the loss of life at sea increased. These recurring tragedies led the wealthy Upcher family of Sheringham Hall to donate money to enable lifeboats to be built. Their generosity founded the first lifeboat service in Sheringham. In 1838 the first boathouse (pictured) for the then private service was built to house the Augusta. The lifeboat service was joined and eventually taken over by the newly named Royal National Lifeboat Institution in 1867.
The surrounding buildings are typically faced with Norfolk flint and edged with brick.
