Snowflake used to love to sit in the window and watch the snowflakes falling. I made this creation for my grand daughter Lydia that adored her and when Snowflake went to kitty heaven I got a silver frame and put this picture in it for her to remember her by.

I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.

Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)

Its a bird kind of week. This time of year its hard to do anything else!

Many thanks for your visit - I'll do my best to reply in and around work. Be well, my Flickr friends:)

“I wish the children wouldn't die

I wish they could fly temporarily in the sky

Until the war is over

Then they could return home safe and sound,

and when their parents ask them

“Where were you?” they would reply

“We were playing in the clouds.”

The blur and distortion match the "groupspeech" of the world I live in which is blurred and distorted along with any right of reply. The framing is also intentional to reflect the marginalisation of the common "man".

Every child born is an equal inheritor of Planet Earth whatever "they" try to tell you to the contrary to shape and mould you to stop you from being all you can be, The freedom to hold and express own's own individual thoughts is a core part of one's identity. Tame that en masse and you clip the wings of the masses.

A telephoto zoom into the last port picking up the background fruit trees with pink-orange hues to contrast the gold of the larger trees. The Clutha river is the second longest in NZ and runs almost from one coast to the other in the South Island.

MY river runs to thee:

Blue sea, wilt welcome me?

My river waits reply.

Oh sea, look graciously!

I ’ll fetch thee brooks

From spotted nooks,—

Say, sea,

Take me!

I have disabled the comments because at this time I am so very busy and don't have time to reply individually.. I thank everyone that took the time to take a peek.

I'm thankful for those who do the difficult, dangerous, dirty, and almost impossible jobs.

I asked this ironworker if I could take his picture. He ask me, what do you want me to do? I replied, just stand there being the bad-ass that you are.

Fluffy Feline in the Rain in Europe

Created with DDG Text 2 AI engine. PP work in Adobe PS Elements 2024 RAW filters, Auto Sharpen.

Create an anthropomorphic, long-haired kitten standing upright on a wet cobblestone street. The kitten has fluffy fur in shades of light brown and grey with distinct tabby markings on its face. Its large, expressive eyes are a deep emerald green and it has a small, pink nose. The kitten is wearing a beige, vintage-style dress with delicate lace and floral patterns adorning the hem and bodice. It is holding a clear, glittering umbrella in one paw that shelters it from a gentle drizzle, while the other paw grasps a small burlap sack with a small paw print depicted on it. Behind the kitten, out-of-focus city lights create a bokeh effect with warm, amber hues, and wooden chairs on the side provide a quaint, rustic atmosphere.

Ho incontrato quest'uomo durante una passeggiata mattutina qualche mese fa.

Sono stata attratta dal suo baschetto.

Abbiamo chiacchierato per un po' e fumato una sigaretta insieme.

Gli dissi che mi piaceva il suo cappellino, e lui rispose orgogliosamente che lo indossava sin da quando aveva 12 anni.

E guardando nei suoi occhi brillanti e sorridenti è stato come vederlo bambino :)

I've met this man during a morning walk some months ago.

I've been attracted by his beret.

We talked for a while and smoked a cigarette together.

I said him I liked his cute hat, and he replied proudly that he had been wearing it since when he was 12.

And looking into his smiling and sparkling eyes it has been like to see him child :)

He's the same man many of you have already seen there

I wish you all well in whatever way is most appropriate for you but cannot take on the extra work of writing it to you individually. Thank you for your good wishes and to those who have made me their contact. Due to poor health, eye problems and low energy I regret I can't take on any new contacts but nearly always manage to reply to your comments. Please no more than 1 invite

When I drew the curtains early this morning there were many vapour trails in the sky.

Due to long-term poor health I'm unable to take on new contacts but do my best to reply to comments. Thank you so much for your interest, comments and favours on my photostream. Also for your good wishes. I send you joy and peace

or ever

This photo is so very, very old. I went through my photostream the other day and came across this photo from a very windy day back in february 2010, and I realised I'd never edited all of my favourites.

It's weird how things have changed, I took this photo right before my a-levels that I was so scared of, and now I'm attending university.

I have never experienced such heavy wind again ever since, especially not during sunset.

Older Japanese Lady with Bonsai Tree

The word “Bon-sai” (often misspelled as bonzai or banzai) is a Japanese term which, literally translated, means “planted in a container”. This art form is derived from an ancient Chinese horticultural practice, part of which was then redeveloped under the influence of Japanese Zen Buddhism.

Head Raven 3.1

One of a pair of Razorbills, (Alca torda) replies to its partner after the other bird had also called, beak agape. Taken at RSPB Bempton Cliffs in East Yorkshire, UK.

Our Wednesday day out was to see our (Flickr) friend Caroline and her husband. It was so good to see them, their lovely house and garden again.

(Sorry I've been absent from commenting and replying most of this week - friends that know me well guessed I had a migraine and they were right! This was a particularly rotten one with sickness all day Wednesday - they seem to happen about twice a year to this degree, the last one being when I had my first Covid jab - purely a coincidence. I'm not completely out of the woods yet, but a lot better than I was. Will catch up with you all over the next few days.)
