Any closer and the camera would have been behind me. :)

Joking aside, these are actually really hard for me to do and I have tremendous admiration

for those that do these on a regular basis.

Have a lovely Monday dear friends. Hugs~

Belki de yarısında uyandığımız düşlerin yaşanmamış kısmıydı, yaşamak..

Maybe living, was the unlived part of the dreams we woke up in half.

Mood: Not Sad Anymore

I think I'm gonna clean my apartment

Get rid of all the things that I don't need

Come and pick 'em up if you want them

I'll leave 'em right by the door

I don't want it anymore

I think I'm gonna go to a party

Hang out with a friend you were worried 'bout

And I don't have to say I'm sorry

For something I didn't do

Ain't making it all 'bout you

So, hey, what's the use being sad over you

Now I can't seem to remember being broken

And hey, what's the time? 'Cause you're not on my mind

I'm just making sure I won't forget the moment

When I'm not sad anymore

I'm not sad anymore, no more now

I'm just mad at myself for being dumb enough to love you

But I'm not sad anymore

I'm gonna reconnect with my old self

I like the one I was before we met

I'm gonna buy a one-way ticket

Go places I've never been

'Cause I can do anything

Going out on Monday

Spend all of my money

Sleep into the afternoon

I got all this time now

When you're not around and

I'm not running after

You took up all my space

And it feels so good to say

Hey, what's the use being sad over you

Now I can't seem to remember being broken

And hey, what's the time? 'Cause you're not on my mind

I'm just making sure I won't forget the moment...

How I am???

I am pink; I'm black; I'm white; I am of all colors; I'm colorless ...

Como sou???

Sou cor-de-rosa; sou negra; sou branca; sou de todas as cores; sou sem cor...

This singing toad was photographed by my sister Judy. The pond in front of her house in rural Michigan is overrun with croaking, male toads (not frogs!) during their mating season.

It’s important to know who you are. At least until you figure out that who you are has nothing to do with anything you think about that.

“We can't be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don't have something better.”

― C. JoyBell C. ―

“Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself to become a new person.”

you have the answer;

you know who you are

Took it a while back when I was in Japan. I was really excited about taking photos in the snow but it never snowed :(. More photos to come!

Ephesians 4:18 “For their [moral] understanding is darkened and their reasoning is clouded; [they are] alienated and self-banished from the life of God [with no share in it; this is] because of the [willful] ignorance and spiritual blindness that is [deep-seated] within them, because of the hardness and insensitivity of their heart.”

Bald Eagle standing in the the water, looking at its own reflection and possibly waiting for fish to pass by. It was the first time for me seeing a bald eagle almost half soaked.

Getting their feathers all wet is a big no-no for bald eagles, since they instantly loose their ability to fly, becoming prey for other predators.

By Eckhart Tolle

There are two dimensions to who you are. The first is what I sometimes call the “surface I”—the person with a past and a future. This is your historical identity, which is relatively fragile because the past and future only exist as thought forms or concepts in the mind. Most people on the planet are completely identified with the “surface I.”

The second dimension to who you are is what I like to call the “Deep I.” The most vital realization in your lifetime is to see that in addition to being a historical person or a “surface I,” you are more fundamentally the “Deep I.” This realization frees you from looking only to the “surface I” for your ultimate sense of identity—where it can never be found...

...So, how do you realize it? You realize it in the gap between two thoughts, the space in which the historical person of the “surface I” momentarily subsides and disappears. What’s left of you is nothing that you could talk about or even understand conceptually. All you know is there is an underlying sense of presence, of being-ness, that is at once still, alert, and vitally alive. This is what it means to become aware of awareness. The practice is to invite moments of presence into your daily life so that you don’t spend your entire day dragged along by the stream of thought in the mind.

It’s important to recognize that the “surface I” and the “Deep I” are ultimately not separate. The “surface I” is a manifestation of consciousness in the same way that the ripple on the surface of the ocean is a manifestation of the ocean. It’s only when the ripple is unaware that it is the ocean that a sense of separateness arises—which of course is an illusion.

This realization of yourself as the “Deep I” is so freeing, so liberating, because you’re being liberated from the burden of knowing yourself only as the “surface I” and its so-called “drama.” When you realize yourself as the “Deep I,” it enables you to have a compassionate attitude toward everything that makes up the “surface I”—your physical form, your personal identity (or the historical person), the thoughts and emotions you experience, and so on. It also gives you access to true creativity and true intelligence—both of which are rooted in the formless dimension.

It gives the impression that it is self playing as the musician is hidden from view.

During the Unlock Camden activities visitors were presented with a musical interlude courtesy of the Camden Community Band.

David Pollard is the hidden musician behind the tuba.

Hi Flickr universe! Have not had much time to post here lately since I have been preoccupied with my new website and blog that I wrote about earlier in the summer:

sandiegoinbloom.com/

It is getting less time consuming after initial website creation and set up, so I hope to get more time to post more on Flickr too soon. I do love the blog part of it as it gives me a chance to post more images from some particular outing in one post vs one image here on Flickr.

I hope everyone's summer is going well and you are taking your cameras everywhere and taking new exciting images. I have been exploring photographing butterflies with different lenses to see the differences and similarities. Hoping to write about it soon and post some pictures. Turned out I had no images of butterflies taken with my Pentacon 50 lens!!! I had to run out and correct that asap. ;-)

For now, this self portrait from yesterday I took on my phone. :-)

Till next time,

Diana

Wenn bloß das Ersatzkabel für meinen Auslöser mal käme... Aber im Moment ist ohnehin so viel Arbeit zu tun, dass ich für ein vernünftig geplantes Bild gar keine Zeit hätte.

So richtig glücklich bin ich mit dem Look noch nicht. Die Blümchen wollen gerne leicht, romantisch und sommerlich inszeniert werden, aber der Schnee mag es lieber kühl getönt. Also vielleicht einfach mal etwas völlig Unnatürliches ausprobieren?
