I realized today, that during this time back in 2008, I joined flickr and dived into a world of self portraiture. Back then, there was no such thing as a selfie, now almost everyone takes selfies...but I'd like to think that what I do is considered creative self portraiture! my passion for light has been an obsession for many years and using myself as a model was almost necessary as I was available 24 hours a day! always willing to step in front of my camera. now more than a decade later and much older! I am still experimenting in self portraiture, but it's becoming a little bit more difficult to do for numerous obvious and maybe not so obvious and personal reasons. But for today, I leave you with a few that I took today to mark this 12 year obsession? and what a journey it has been....I should really do a book, I just wonder if anyone would actually buy it ? :-))
Thank you all for sticking by me all these years, you now who you are.

[Realizing, everything I love is slowly killing me
I know I know, we're taking off together
Even though we always crash and burn
Tonight you and I will fall from the sky
Drag me all the way to hell
'Cause I'm never gonna let it go
Never gonna let it go…]

I didn't realize that Arches has a timed entry program and wasn't able to get into the park until after 1:00 P. M. Because of my mistake, I didn't have a lot of time to visit at each of the main arches. So, I only went part way up to this feature that actually has two arches. The hike on the trail isn't that difficult and was well maintained.
They have the timed entry system because of the limited parking at each of the arches. People were driving around this parking area more than one time to find a place to park. That being said, once you get out of your car and get to explore, the place is pretty magical. Everyone has a smile on their face and is in a great mood. There are so many different opportunities to frame different perspectives of each arch. This was my first arch and I couldn't wait to see what the rest had in store for me.
I realize this one doesn't have much to do with Japan Day, but heck, I took it during the festival so into this series it goes. ;)

I realized that Prague Castle is mostly captured from Charles Bridge or Staroměstká... I like the view from Čechův Bridge too :-)
Cropped it a little bit because of an old and ugly boat...
I realized yesterday that my trip to Antarctica is only 7 weeks away! So I've been researching what clothing I'll need, how to carry 2 cameras, how to protect the cameras, etc. I was going to buy an expensive 2-camera harness, but decided I can manage the cameras with the Joby straps that I already use.

I can't thank my friend Jan Maguire enough for sharing her Milky Way expertise and for all of her efforts that led us to photographing this stunning scene on Monday morning. When I first found out I was coming to CA we started planning it. And it all worked out perfectly. It was so much fun and a dream come true. Thank you, again, Jan!

there is no other way

There’s a room in my heart

이제 난 그 곳으로 가는 중
Keep me busy
I’ll never think about you
어제와는 다른 내가 어색해도
it’s not easy
love is so fast
I don’t know how to let go
그게 너라면 난
기꺼이 바랄게
you’ll be with me
where are you now?
I miss you bad
굳이 하지 않아도 될 말을 해
니가 너무 얄밉다가도
너를 바라 볼 때만
난 웃음이 새어나와
There’s a room in my heart
with the memories made

니가 없는 삶은 공허해

“Sometimes I long for a convent cell, with the sublime wisdom of centuries set out on bookshelves all along the wall and a view across the cornfields--there must be cornfields and they must wave in the breeze--and there I would immerse myself in the wisdom of the ages and in myself. Then I might perhaps find peace and clarity. But that would be no great feat. It is right here, in this very place, in the here and the now, that I must find them. ”
-Etty Hillesum, An Interrupted Life

While few people realize it, the ARR does own trackage outside the Last Frontier. Not much though!
The ARR owns the barge slip on Harbor Island in Seattle that they use as their interchange point to the UP and BNSF and the greater North American rail network. The ownership is actually 50/50 with Seaspan Corp (a Washington Group company) although Seaspan has never used the slip. Over time ARR’s ownership stake gradually rises since they presently pay for all maintenance and upkeep on the structure. ARR’s trackage ends adjacent the nose of the unit (hence the ARR logo on the sign) meaning the railroad owns about one car length on solid ground.
UP Seattle based yard crew YSE51R is seen here beginning the process of stripping the weekly barge that has arrived from the 49th State. Three barges owned and operated by Alaska Railbelt Marine (a member of the Lynden family of companies) are constantly cycling between Seattle and Whittier, AK carrying railcars on 8 tracks and containers stacked three high in the racks above. They are truly marvels of modern logistics!
Since the ARR owns no yard trackage in Seattle and has no locomotives of its own with which to switch the barge, the UP provides this service since it is the railroad that owns the connecting rails on Harbor Island. At the time this yard assignment was normally just a two man RCL crew, but on barge days an engineer was called and the barge is worked by a conventional three man crew.
In this view the UP crew has reached in with their handle (in order to keep the locomotive off the slip itself) consisting of a covered hopper and three old cabooses to begin pulling cars off the southbound ARMS voyage 1023 (the 23rd sailing of 2010). This particular barge is the Fairbanks Provider built by Gunderson in 2001 it is 420 ft long and 100 ft wide with 3190 linear feet of track on the deck and a dead weight of 15,300 tons.

Have you all realized about your second life addiction?
Until this day, the 15th year of my second life, that one click had a lot of struggle. Mainly on the time and money i've invested in this game. It was a relief, and I was able to do it because my brother assured me that secondlife isn't the only thing in the world. Thank you for those I have met, and I have decided to move forward to focus on my real life and my health since I needed the time and focus. There weren't any regrets, there was the occasional habit of looking for the firestorm button! but then I smiled then looked away, I knew that it was time to let go.

As I was going over my photos from 2015 I realized there were many images that were never processed. Last year was a very busy travel and home renovation year for us and I did not take the time to fully enjoy the photos sitting on my hard drive.
Last year we went to the Annual Rally on the Rocks for side by side off road vehicles. Unfortunately we had a mechanical failure on the first day minutes into our first trail ride. We made it back to camp but could not get a replacement part and install it before the rally would end. We made the most of the trip and enjoyed taking the La Sal Mountain Loop drive in the truck. Then the rains came.... we were kind of glad we were not on the trails!

"The shadow, when it is realized, is the source of renewal; the new and productive impulse cannot come from established values of the ego. When there is an impasse, and sterile time in our lives—despite an adequate ego development—we must look to the dark, hitherto unacceptable side which has been at our conscious disposal….This brings us to the fundamental fact that the shadow is the door to our individuality. In so far as the shadow renders us our first view of the unconscious part of our personality, it represents the first stage toward meeting the Self. There is, in fact, no access to the unconscious and to our own reality but through the shadow. Only when we realize that part of ourselves which we have not hitherto seen or preferred not to see can we proceed to question and find the sources from which it feeds and the basis on which it rests. Hence no progress or growth is possible until the shadow is adequately confronted and confronting means more than merely knowing about it. It is not until we have truly been shocked into seeing ourselves as we really are, instead of as we wish or hopefully assume we are, that we can take the first step toward individual reality.
There are at least five effective pathways for traveling inward to gain insight into the composition of our shadow: (1) soliciting feedback from others as to how they perceive us; (2) uncovering the content of our projections; (3) examining our “slips” of tongue and behavior, and investigating what is really occurring when we are perceived other than we intended to be perceived; (4) considering our humor and our identifications; and (5) studying our dreams, daydreams, and fantasies."

I didn't realize Alien 5 was a thing (or for that matter another Predator movie, but that's not until 2018 apparently) until Grantmasters started promoting it, so I decided to revisit the genera as my latest temporary obsession.
As such, this is just a small quick build to go with my Alien figure I built a while back. I was working to get a minifigure scaled Facehugger, and I think I largely succeeded--its a bit big, but it works. Incidentally, if anyone wants to build one, it's just six hands (it works with 4 actually, too), a Gollum arm, a jumper plate, and a 1x1 tooth plate (pointed towards the tail--which you cannot see at this angle).
I'd like to make tons of these, but like my Alien (black gun legs) I ended up using "rare" pieces, which makes it expensive to army build--didn't realize tan hands were hard to come by. Someone else get on that!
I realized a week or so ago that I only had 44 pics in the Mount Saint Helen folder and thought that odd as I've been there many times so I've been rooting around in my archive and realized that I once again had grabbed the wrong shot, this is nearly identical to 'Windy Ridge' but there is less fog and one can see the terrain much better so.....
I realize over time I have gotten quite a little Grumpy Cat Collection... First I got the tiny Needle Felted girl to ease my pain when I missed out on Miss Ixnay...Then Came the art from my lovely friend Punky Blythster and I found a couple of mugs last weekend :D
And Of course Ixnay Finally joined the Lawdeda Clan <3 So happy!
Hope you are all having a great weekend!
I didn't even realize until last week that Minnesota has ocean like beaches. Who would have thought that a state known for freezing cold, snowy, and looooonnng winters (notice spelling for emphasis) would have sandy beaches that look just like the ocean! We hung out here the night before (Labor Day Weekend), so it was a bit crowded, but I went back the next morning and I had the whole beach to myself which was very nice. The more I explore our state and country, the more I am mesmerized by the astounding beauty that God has made! His creation is so diverse and it is hard to comprehend how it can all be packed into such a small place.

Winner's will get their Linden prize today, and the additional gifts will come to winners and *all* participants as soon as possible.
I realized last year that I have to do something to jump start my creativity. I rarely picked up my camera since Greg died a year ago. But photography has always been one of my great pleasures and I want it back. So I am going to try to do another 52 week project. I found two prompts on line and I am going to combine them for this project. My first entry represents "Beginnings" and this photo is of another project I'm taking on this year. I am going to make a temperature scarf. I will crochet a row every day representing the high temperature of the day and these are the colors I chose to use going from cold to hot.

It's always sad to realize someone died at a beautiful waterfall. Waterfalls are supposed to create a connection with nature and a feeling of peace and well being. But they can also quickly turn deadly. At only 23, I'm sure family and friends still miss losing Timmy to a senseless tragedy.
A few years ago, I met a mother at Hooker Falls near Brevard, NC. She had been maintaining a simple memorial to her young son who drowned there. She said her son was just swimming and got too close to the waterfall and the undertow just pulled him under the water. Heartbreaking.
So during a recent visit to Little Brasstown Falls I saw this memorial marker off to the side of the waterfall. I wanted my photo to try to capture this dichotomy of beauty and danger.
Thanks for viewing my photos. Comments are always welcome.

Sometimes, I look through old photos and what I didn’t realize was there was actually present all along…that growing unease that something wasn’t quite right…this was 2019 but there were times you could sense it in the sigh of a parent and the look of anxiety in one’s eyes. And, you know you hold your loved ones close and you know you’d do anything to make sure they survived even a pandemic.
And I look at this photo and I hope they are still alive. The child may be 6 or 7 by now. We’ve learned quite a bit about the world and ourselves if we’re still breathing. And, in every lift there is an “I love you” and in every gesture there is, “I promise I’ll protect you.” But, in every exhalation, there’s a feeling that the world is bigger than all of us and we’ll never be the same again.
We are all funny little beasts when you really think about it and we all share a space in a vast and impossible world.

Taino Park was realized in 1991 on a project of the artist Giò Pomodoro, author of the sculpture "The Place of the four cardinal points" located in the center of the park. The park is a large green space in the center of the town, leaning towards Lake Maggiore and Monte Rosa, which enchants the visitor for its unique and suggestive panorama. The monument "The place of the four cardinal points" by Giò Pomodoro is a work made of white, grey and pink granite, water and iron, celebrating the summer solstice. It has at its center the tall pillar-gnomon (8.64 m from the ground level), which, precisely on the date of June 21 at noon, captures through a slot cut into it and marked in black marble on the surface, the sun's rays and projects them onto the fallen pillar, at the point indicated on a notch. On that day, the sun, which is on the north-south alignment behind the pillar, obscures the horizontal monolith with its bronze pyramidal tip with its shadow, except for a portion carved into the notch that remains lit for a short time, signaling the summer solstice.
Realized I can never win
Sometimes I feel like I have failed
Inside where do I begin
My mind is laughing at me
Tell me why am I to blame
Arent we suppose to be the same
Thats why I will never change
This thing thats burning in me
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldnt last
I am alive full of pain
I feel the anger changing me
Sometimes I can never tell
If I got something to help the pain
Thats why I just beg and plead
For this curse to leave me
Tell me why am I to blame
Arent we suppose to be the same
Thats why I will never change
This thing thats burning in me
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldnt last
I am alive full of pain
I feel the anger changing me
Beaten
I feel so
Insane
I really
Tried
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldnt last
I feel alive full of pain
I feel the anger changing me
O god the angers changing me
O god the angers changïng me
🔆 What is a sovereign?
I have realized that I have my own truth within me.
I have realized that I am free from manipulation on the outside and that my inner voice is my guide.
I have realized that I am never alone because I am part of the All Being.
I have realized that I want to use my abilities to serve nature, people and animals.
I have realized that my free will has meaning.

Realized I never posted this. One of the first trains I bagged after moving to Lincoln for college, was the 627 with the area’s only non-yard SD60M on the point.
We all have two lives. The second life begins when we realize that we only have one.
Real life can be so short and also very hard... you usually only realize that when it's almost too late.
Don't waste time on unimportant people and things... instead enjoy your time with your loved ones and live your dreams. The most beautiful dreams are free and so much more beautiful.
I realize, but I like the end result.
This is a piece that started out as a hydranga, again that I was going to use for Bokeh Wednesday, and found itself becoming something like a piece of art in my eyes. I just couldn't help playing with it until I got it to the mood I felt fit the photo and made it more dramatic at least in my eyes! I hope you like it.

I'm sorry I've posted so many tonight. As I have said in the past, when I have time to work on my photography, I like to get as much done as possible and share with all my friends. Thanks for being so understanding!
