Azizi (previously known as Flora!) washing himself amidst holding his strawberry. What you see is him creating his own dribble in order to wash his face. He does this ritual every evening, usually after his tea.

Self Portrait

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~

* Saint-Roch-de-l'Achigan *

- Around 1750, colonists from the neighboring parishes of L'Assomption, Mascouche and elsewhere began to settle in the territory which became Saint-Roch-de-L'Achigan in 1787. Mainly a green zone, Saint-Roch-de-L'Achigan therefore has an important agricultural vocation, characterized mainly by growing vegetables. The Municipality of Saint-Roch-de-l'Achigan is located forty kilometers northeast of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Majoritairement situé en zone verte, Saint-Roch-de-L’Achigan a donc une importante vocation agricole, caractérisée surtout par la culture des légumes. La Municipalité de Saint-Roch-de-L'Achigan est située à une quarantaine de kilomètres au nord-est de Montréal au Québec.

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.”

“At the center of your being

you have the answer;

you know who you are

and you know what you want.”

A self portrait taken at the cabin at our old place.

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.”

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

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

About loss

i realize now that this was subconsciously inspired by lexi (sea legs snapshots)

View On Black

I am not the body

Nor am I the mind,

Neither the machine

Nor the interpreter

Discard the shells

Isolate the 'Self'

The examiner cannot be

The object to be examined

This 'I Am' , so pure

Immortal, unstinted

Drop of divine ocean

The ray of Almighty
