Looking back, I realize that you weren't the right person. Weren't right for the first time and not for the second time either.
I asked myself why was it so hard for me to let go then?
I have a theory...all the painful memories that we kept holding on to no matter how much we were hurt by them, maybe because all these time we were just too afraid that if we let go, nothing better would come. Just a theory, nothing fancy.
I realized I was sick of my Katie Jump Rope collection sitting on the shelf collecting dust. I decided to cut into it and am using the Swoon pattern. The pattern calls for making these stars with just 2 colors, but I wanted to try a scrappy version and love how it looks in this block.
This was not the easiest block to come together. I am not a sewist that likes patterns and I realized you need to have a PERFECTLY consistent 1/4 inch to make this block perfect. But, I still love this pattern because it lets me have big pieces of my beloved fabric and not have to chop it up too much.
There's one mistake in this block (a half square triangle placed the wrong direction) but I'm leaving it in and didn't unpick it so that I won't have the pressure of this having to be THE perfect quilt. Also I see some prints I could have placed differently to mix it up better, but I'm just going to go with it and know that the whole quilt will be sufficiently scrappy to make it all mix in!
Don't look too closely or with a critical eye - also it hasn't been trimmed up! ;]
This is a huge block - if you aren't familiar with Swoon, this is a 24" x 24" block, you make 9 of these huge guys for a square quilt. Can't wait to sew more!

I realized that it's already one year today since I moved to my boyfriend on Eigerøy island, on the south-western coast of Norway.
Even though I don't know that many people here and I don't get to see my friends much, I love the stunning nature around our home, the possability to watch both beautiful sunrises and sunsets, to go on nice walks with my dog in all directions from our doorstep, and of course spending time with my cohabitant Richard ツ

They are some photographic short stories, collected walking on the street ... in search of fleeting moments ...
are photographic shots taken a few days ago, from all media it is suggested to respect social distancing, the use of masks especially in closed places, washing hands or, if this is not possible, in any case disinfecting hands; very important tips, especially for news of new infections that come constantly both from Italy and from the rest of the world where the pandemic is at the highest levels ... .. as someone has said ... about our Italian beginning of summer .... the covid-19 virus is not goes on vacation .....
that are Confused-moved-blurred-imprecise-indecisive-shots ... the Anglo-Saxon term encompasses with one word this photographic genre with the term "blur", these photos were thus taken during the shooting phase, lengthening the exposure time, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in post-production.
Sono queste alcune storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
sono scatti fotografici realizzati pochi giorni addietro, da più parti si suggerisce di rispettare il distanziamento sociale, l'uso delle mascherine soprattutto in luoghi chiusi, il lavarsi o comunque il disinfettarsi le mani ove ciò non sia possibile, suggerimenti importantissimi, soprattutto per le notizie di nuovi contagi che giungono costantemente sia dall'Italia, sia dal resto del mondo ove la pandemia “impazza”….. come qualcuno ha detto...a proposito di questo nostro inizio d'estate italiano....il virus covid-19 non va in vacanza.....
le foto sono Confuse-mosse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico col termine "blur", quese foto sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, allungando i tempi di esposizione, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in post-produzione.

I realized that I never showed my first TrickyBricks weekly challenge builds here, so here's the first one from August of last year. This challenge was to build something in a monochromatic color scheme so I chose grayscale. It's a small observatory with a telescope inside! I didn't have a lot of time to build this one so I couldn't get much more done than what you see here. The seed parts here were the curved balloon sections.
I was really inspired by Richard's lighting design tips for this one. For the cooler "moonlight" I used 2 Power Functions lights hanging from above and stuck them through chrome reflector dishes. The interior is lit by AA-powered fairy string lights that I got from the dollar store. The background is mostly real; blue and green paper with a double exposure overlay for the sky. I hope you guys like it!
on the 26 of April in 1986 the disaster of chernobyl occured.
i visited this place beginning of this year and it is still unbelivable... today the accident turns 32 years.
The shown mural is painted by the artist Guido van Helten.
The somber mural pays tribute to the longtime disaster photojournalist Igor Kostin. This photo is taken in the cooling tower from another unfinished powerplant close reactor no 4, where the catastrophic nuclear accident happend.
I didn't realize how low my shutter speed was when I was shooting this shortie, but I kind of like the blur I got on his wings. Thanks for looking, and Happy Thanksgiving to all!

When I realized I could capture the glorious Carina Nebula from Costa Rica, I was fixated on the idea. A seemingly simple task for an experienced imager like myself - boy was I wrong.

The heat, the lights, the wind, and lack of my trusty NORTH STAR made this project a challenge.

Total Exposure: 9 Minutes, 30 Seconds (18 x 30-seconds)
Camera: Canon EOS 7D Mark II
Filter: Optolong L-Pro (2")

Thought I had the whole gang in this image until I realized that there were two more still swimming in the lagoon for a total of 7 otters.
Just realized this is possible and wanted to keep it for future reference, as I have no direct need for it now. Hope others find it useful too. This should allow for reasonably decent angled stripes too because you could continue to go diagonal with multiple 2x2s, 3x3s or 4x4s in a row.
There are slight gaps, but not large enough to fill with ½ plate elements. Those gaps can be used as subtle greebling, so it's not that bad if you can make it work for you.
Note I did not have a 3x3 plate at hand but it's not required: the solution shown here is one plate higher than a single 3x3 plate would be. If you want to cover things with tiles, the extra plate height is unavoidable for 3x3 and 4x4 anyway.
You can do this with larger wedge plates too, obviously.
[ENG] Without realizing that the Glow Run took place on May 15 2015 I traveled to Scheveningen with a photographer friend to shoot a beautiful sunset and some night photos . Unfortunately the beautiful sunset did not took place. However while I shot this picture I saw some jogging people passing by with some lights on their outfit which gave an extra nice lightpainting effect in the picture.
[NL]Zonder besef dat de Glow Run op 15 mei 2015 plaatsvond was ik met een fotovriendin naar Scheveningen afgereisd met als doel om een mooi zonsondergang en wat avondfoto's vaste te leggen. De mooie zonsondergang bleef uit. Echter terwijl ik deze foto schoot zag ik wat joggende mensen voorbij komen met mooie lichtjes op hun outfit. Dit gaf een extra mooie lightpainting aan de foto .

Realizing that the three Christmas cacti in our southwest living room window have been receiving more sunlight than they like, I moved them around. Two I just backed away. One I moved to the northeast office window where it receives no direct sun this time of year. It's obviously happiest of the three, the foliage darkening to deep green. It put forth the most buds and it's the first to open this week.
Project 365, 2023 Edition: Day 338/365
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
Realized one day in late autumn that it was a long time since I took out my filters and tripod for some water long exposure, so I did that.
A few years ago I realized that I had a desire to find and see as much of this beautiful state as I could and researched hikes utilizing the Washington Trails Association (of which I am now a proud member) and I found all of the 'bunny trails', one to (gasp) six miles and I saw some amazing beauty, but two years ago I saw an image of Indian Henry's Hunting Ground and the Ranger Scout Cabin located there and realized that this was a place that I could not go to. They list it at 14 miles (the signs on the trail say 16, I can add) with 3200 feet of elevation gain. After working out this winter and hiking every chance I could I struck out for this mystical magical place on a trail that climbs and descends several ridges, crosses many beautiful streams, passes two pack in campgrounds and with the exception of Rampart Ridge you do it on a part of the 95 mile trail that's calling my name, the Wonderland.
You approach from the right and you just see the side of it tucked neatly in the trees and then you look up at the amazing south west face of Rainier towering behind it, I'd say that it was breathtaking, but I didn't have any anyway..... :-) I ate lunch and sipped a Gatorade on the back step and glowed at the beauty I had found and knowledge that there isn't a place in the park that I can't get to now, might take a few days, but I can get there. (I also tacked on two miles and got Mirror lakes after lunch, I mean, I was in the neighborhood.....) :-)
Boots on the trail at 5:40 a.m., butt in the truck at 4:00 p.m. It was a VERY good day. I saw three people coming down on my way up and spoke to a man who was arriving via the much easier Tahoma Creek route as I was leaving. I've never been so alone in my life. :-)
I realize a lot of my contacts celebrate Happy Bokeh Wednesday. My landscape shots are typically all middle apertures. But while preparing dinner a lime I pulled from a tree in my backyard and my all-time favorite knife, my Wustof santoku were perfectly backlit.
So HBW
I realized the other day that I missed the celebration of N&W 611's release from the Roanoke shops. A lot of people wonder why a railroad would go through the trouble of running steam and doing excursions. It's expensive, labor intensive, requires a ton of work. The answer, I would argue, is in this photo. The excitement and enthusiasm these machines generate is unparalleled, I would argue, in modern American times. They are incredible public relations tools in an era where that matters more than it ever has, and it's truly my hope that despite all the challenges, we see 611 back pulling trains soon.
I always give Banded Sphinx caterpillars the credit for turning my hiking interest to caterpillars about 10 years ago...the first one was so striking that I realized that Caterpillars were a lot more incredible than I'd imagined! Ironically, that life changing first Banded Sphinx was on the same trail at Weeks Bay as these three, the other day!
Never realized how many dozens of shots I never posted from last year's trip until I spent Saturday going through the archives....I think because we had so many crazy spring weather days (7 out of 9 days it snowed) that I wasn't that happy with the landscape shots I came away with, but I found a few that I think are worthy of sharing....after all, overcast days do have their benefits at times :-) This one was taken somewhere along the boardwalk at Midway Geyser Basin....the saturated colors caught my eye. We went there to see Grand Prismatic but never managed to get a good look because of all the heavy steam....there's always this year to try again....just 10 short days to go!!!!
Have a great Tuesday.....and thanks for all your visits and comments!!!!!

I realized too late that I had planted some of my hyacinths too close to one of the main deer paths on the property. I watched with apprehension as the tips of the sprouting hyacinth leaves disappeared one by one overnight. However, the deer left the flower stalk alone. It's well known that deer will not eat daffodils. Perhaps hyacinth flowers share some of daffodils' deer repellent properties.
======================================================
Spring is several weeks late this year and getting later because of the unseasonably cool weather. Fortunately, the bulbs I planted last year and in 2021 are now up and blooming.
Not having grown the large variety of hyacinths before, I overestimated their shade tolerance. As a result, some parts of my modest flower beds look like the site of an experiment on the effects of low light on hyacinths. Unlike the specimens seen here, which are upright, others are almost horizontal to the ground in their quest to reach a sunnier spot. I would not be surprised to wake up one morning and discover my bulbs had acquired the skill of locomotion.
I realize I've been underposting lately and it's not so much that life has been busy it's just that I don't have anything too great to show you guys. That being said I've gotten some nicely lit wedges in mud season up here so let's look at a few.
Same Engineer and same situation as the first photo of today's set just taken about 3 weeks prior.
We set out early fairly early for Yosemite Valley and soon realized many others had done the same. Of the three routes into the Valley, three were closed due to washed out roads. As we neared the park we were keenly aware of many of the mudslides and rocks that had nearly made it on to the highway. At the entrance we patiently waited in line which would prove to be fairly short but where then disappointed by the construction work delays. Arriving at the Southside parking area we were surprised to find already full with some people having been there as early as 6AM to stake out a spot. Claim jumpers wandered around looking a chance to slide in to get their own gold. We decided to seek unexplored vistas and spent the afternoon wandering around the forest. The ground was soggy and would suck your feet in making walking difficult. On the far side of a clearing we found the meadow flooded with a great reflection of Horsetail Falls. We setup our gear as the snow flurries wafted in the breeze around us. Clouds lingered in and around El Capitan and the sun began to set with wonderful colors upon the clouds. Glimmers of light occasionally would illuminate Horsetail for a few brief moments but it would take another days effort. The next evening we were back at our location. The crowds had doubled in size. We had hopes we'd get back to our claim. When we arrived our pool had dried up but we were more hopeful we would strike gold. The clouds began to build again and the Horsetail dimmed. But then, we heard a loud cheer go up around the park growing to a roar. We looked up to see Horsetail lighting up from the bottom. It crept up the falls till it reached the and the cheers continued as shutters clicked away. Soon the light faded but we felt satisfied as we jumped in the long line to head out of the park. It took two days to get the shot but it was worth it. This was Horsetail's Firefall Event of 2017.

I just realized the other day that I never posted stand-alone pictures of the snowspeeder I built for my final entry to this years IDSMO and thought I'd use the opportunity to test my new camera lense.
I tried to get as close to minifig-scale with this model as I possibly could. It's still a stud or two too long but there is only so much you can do with Lego if you still want a functional interior.
Let me know what you think of my Snowspeeder, I'd love to hear your opinion! Obviously there are still some parts that could do with some more work like the non existent upper airbrakes. If you have any ideas on how to improve the model, let me hear them! ;)
I was on vacation at my boyfriend's lake house with some friends for the past 1.5 weeks. My bathingsuit is pretty amazing and so we set up this photo to give it the vintage styling it deserves.
As you'll come to see, I'm "extremely good" at pulling packfilm out of the camera in a way that it messes up a corner of the photo...nearly every photo I've taken has a chunk taken out of it =(
But I'm excited to realize that my land camera makes double exposures really easy. Thanks, 230!
After realizing this small crab spider was not just debris (which discovered after getting home and downloading), I knew I hadn't seen one before. It looked like a Crab Spider to me, so I asked Spider Joe. Turns out it may be an undescribed species and Joe was really interested in learning what they eat. Luckily my first shot showed it eating an Acrobat Ant. I went back a few days later for better shots. It was still on the same side of the tree around two feet off the ground.
I realized recently that, for all the American classics I've done, I had only built one Buick! I also had not yet built a car in Medium Azure. This build ticks both boxes. It's also the first model of mine to utilize the new 1 x 1 x 2/3 SNOT element introduced in the 2023 Speed Champions sets, which came in really handy to solve a couple problems here.
Also, it's weird how poorly those Aston Martin wheels photograph. They look gorgeous in person, but uncanny and fake in photos. I think it's because your eye focuses more on the physical details of the mold when they're presented still and close-up like this.
I lacked creativity and originality all day long. But as it was my only day off, I desperately wanted to go out shooting. All of the places I frequent with my camera were disappointing in one way or another. One of the many, many complaints I voiced to the zero people I spent my day with, was that there were not more dead bugs in the vicinity.
After several early mornings in the mosquito-infested sewage lagoons, I realized that the setting of the lagoon and the birds dashing along the mucky shore was less than ideal for Spotted Sandpiper images. Apart from the fact that the birds were in constant motion, often with different parts of their bodies moving in different directions, decent images of shorebirds are often as interesting (or not) as the shore itself.
So I branched out a bit. The Ottawa River had been where I started trying to learn how to photograph shorebirds. But the last two years have seen record-high water levels in the spring and fall migration seasons, and the birds had stopped coming.
The levels are lower now - or were, until a few days ago: the shoreline in the image is now underwater.
In any event: I went to this location early one morning because of reports of a Northern Shoveller, one of my favourite ducks, and was delighted to find a pair of Sandpipers dashing about. The light and the water were a big improvement on my sewage lagoon experience.
This bird left what I suspect is a nesting area, in some reeds hidden from access, and made its way along the shoreline, grabbing insects out of the air and picking up bits and pieces from the soil. It made a few passes and by the third I had adjusted as best as I could to its speed and pathway.
Female Spotted Sandpipers can have up to four mating partners. The males take care of the nest, the eggs, and so on, freeing the female up for her polyandry. And it is females who establish the territory, arriving first and fighting off contenders. It is easy to imagine that the slightly aggressive first bird out at sunrise is a male, based on experience with other species, but it isn’t the case with these birds.
Just realized this shot is #100 on my stream. Although I've been on Flickr for a few years, I don't tend to post many photos. This year I've been picking up the pace and don't believe #200 will take quite that long
I realize I shoulda had the end parts of the back door separate so they would stay up while the door went down. I'll fix that soon.
4 Think of the visible horizon. It was realized that the past was for tomorrow. Your memory revived. It wraps her now.

Realized it is Wednesday while posting the last photo...so here we are...HBW!
.
This photo was shot at Wingfoot Lake State Park.. A beautiful Ohio State Park, Wingfoot Lake was used in the manufacturing of blimps beginning in 1917 with a contract with the US Navy. More than 600 cadets received flight instruction at this site during WWI. Of course, now we see blimps used at sporting events and as advertising. The park area was initially owned by Goodyear and used for employee family outings during the 60s through the 80s, but then it was closed in 2006. It was purchased in 2009 by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources with 121 of the 690 acres transferred to the Division of Parks and Recreation. If you are ever in the NE Ohio area, I would recommend this state park. You can see the blimp hangar across the lake and flights coming and going. The bokeh in the background of the photograph is the lake and maybe the hangar...it is that close! (And I didn't even get into the park itself with beautiful trails, pavilions, miniature golf, large and small dog parks!) :o)

I have just realized that I have become friends with 8f8 since 2013, July. His creative pictures and desires to be original, and unique were the reasons that I admired him. He has never disappointed 8f8 creation's fans, and remained outstanding for 6 years already.
When I first received this Little World set from 8f8, my heart was deeply touched. They are not regular Christmas ornaments to me. Unpacking the ornaments one after one, I felt as if I was going through the history of him: the well, the sakura trees, the buttercup flowers, the spring trinkets...I remembered all of them. This is the 8f8 I know - someone who tells great stories with his mesh.
This motivated me to create this [The Lover Series] to feature his SL stories as a designer, as well as my sl brother.
I specially want to thank him for his encouragement over these years: from my ugly pics to less ugly ones, he almost faved them all. I don't think he truly likes all of them but the thought of supporting me matter to me a great deal.
Thanks 8f8. :)
I wish you all the best.

I realized that my stream is very blue and cold so I wanted to find some color. I took this one morning before work. The sky was amazing. It was so bright but lasted for a very short time. Straight from the camera and I even turned down the brightness. Still, you might need sunglasses. :-))
Where Gabriel realizes we're not getting a tree this year, and he's it.
Just kidding... out-takes from the holiday card photo shoot :-)
PS - No children were harmed in the making of these photos. Can't say the same about the glass decorations, though :-)
I realize that to most landscape photographers the middle of the day is time for traveling, napping, having a beer, scoping out locations, etc. Sunrise & sunset are the only time that magic happens. Amazing how during the course of a normal day, there is only about an hour of really good time to shoot.
My next trip might not even be able to give me that option. It'll be the furthest away that I've traveled in years, further than Japan. I won't be able to have a rental car, and be stuck around the town of Osan. One of these days I'm bound to run into Trey aka Stuck in Customs on one of these goofy locations.
I realize this may not be the best quality of shots, it was taken with my cell phone after all but yesterday as I watched the sun set, I KNEW my beloved Aunt Sheila was smiling down on me. My Aunt Sheila passed away only two days ago.
Yesterday's sunset was the SAME sunset I witnessed right after my beloved Grandma passed away.
Yesterday I could feel her love wrapped around me. It gave me chills. Literally.
Thank you Aunt Sheila for smiling down on me and on US.
I felt it with all of my being.
Two cows I found wandering off and broght back to their bovine friends. They are smart. They do realize sometimes the grass is indeed greener on the other side, and they were not terribly eager to get back to their pasture until their bovine friends started mooing after them.

This is a collaborative work done in collaboration with my 6-year-old grandson, Niko Felton and all the children from 0-6 who participated in the Ringling Museum Education Center painting activities on July 13, 2018. It was a pleasure to see the pure joy on the children’s faces while they were freely creating individually and together to make 3 beautiful large paintings expressing free will, the ability to cooperate, the fun of learning and interacting. The time passed by so fast and was time well spent, several of the children would have stayed longer had the time allowed.
It is one in a series I have started to help us realize how important the family unit is and that no-one should be allowed to break it up.
Reading so many articles about children being forcefully separated from their families through war, greed and hunger make me realize that we artists must address this issue head-on. No family should have to resort to becoming a refugee in order to have a country, a home, food, good health, education and the ability to make a decent living. We all belong to the human race and therefore should help and respect one another it is the right and decent thing to do. If every country in the world got together to achieve this goal it would be possible so let us make it happen.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Just realized that probably the best time to shoot these statue groups would be early morning when there's not lots of people. In the mid day good angles were hard to come by in the crowd. Also the light would have been softer.
In every year Valencians create about 400 different statues. everywhere in the city. They are shown for five days and after that they burn all them down. All I we saw were really beautiful.
Had fun week in Valencia and we saw the mighty Fallas/Falles. Highly recommended to see!
