We're Here: Self Reflection
I found myself at home unexpectedly on a Saturday {was on call and didn't get called to work} so as I was looking at everyones photos I realized I actually had time to take a photo myself, so I did!

As former president Teddy Roosevelt puts it...behold it is the "Eighth Wonder of the World." The water originates from underground springs above and at the falls. Even during the dry summer months and at 129 feet in height, the water provides an almost constant flow rate of 100 million U.S. gallons / day. Photo of Burney Falls captured from McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park in Shasta County. Northern California. Late March 2013.

This is yours truly reflected in the sculpture "Cloud Gate" in Chicago's Millenium Park.
Behind me are are the buildings that line Michigan Avenue. If you look at the large view, you can see better how the mirrored surface of the sculpture subtly distorts everything as well as how streaks of dried rain line the reflective surface. ("Subtly distorted" might actually be a good byline for me, now that I think of it.)
As usual, I don't like having my picture taken, but "The Bean" (as Cloud Gate is popularly known) is one of my favorite places.
(Thought this might be a good way to say thanks to everyone out there in Flickr-land for your support, feedback, and kind words about my photos: my photostream just passed 100,000 total views today. Thanks again, everyone! Ain't Flickr grand?)

Every human experience is unique. We all have trials and tribulations, hopes and dreams. What's interesting about this fact is that it puts into perspective how everyone is just like us in the sense that we all undergo a complexity of emotions and experiences. Reflect on that today and let's be compassionate to our fellow human BEings. #InspireDaily - bit.ly/InspireWithWords
Rising like a prism in the heart of the nation’s capital, the Conrad Hotel in Washington, D.C. is a sleek testament to contemporary luxury and thoughtful design. Captured here on a crisp winter day, the glass façade reflects its surroundings—and itself—with hypnotic symmetry. Located on New York Avenue NW near CityCenterDC, this modernist masterpiece by Herzog & de Meuron brings a European architectural sensibility to the American skyline. The mirror-like surfaces blur the lines between structure and sky, creating a visual paradox that draws the eye and rewards it with layers of abstraction. In the foreground, a Capital Bikeshare station anchors the scene in everyday D.C. life, while the juxtaposition of old and new buildings tells a story of a city forever evolving. Whether admired for its engineering, aesthetics, or as a sanctuary for travelers, the Conrad is more than a hotel—it’s a reflective experience, both literally and metaphorically.

This month I am celebrating my 7th Flickr Birthday...I would have never thought that this thing would be so much fun and have such an influence on my life when I opened my account in 2006. I want to thank all of you lovely people for making it such a great experience, and of course also a big thank you to the Interwebs for offering such interesting ways to share part of our lives with the rest of the world...on to the next 7 years :)

I have so many great shots from this location.... This is one of my favorite places. I go here often in the early morning and sit in the fog enjoying the view in silent contemplation.
Photo of the rugged Santa Lucia Mountains captured alongside the El Sur Ranch on the Old Coast Road in Big Sur. Monterey County. Mid April 2013.
Photo captured alongside U.S. 101, the Redwood Highway, near the Ridgewood Summit just south of the city of Willits via Minolta MD Zoom Rokkor-X 75-200mm f4.5 lens. Mendocino County. Late October 2013.
Me and my shots of webs...but I do find them a bit cathartic somehow. They serve as a good indicator for how I think and feel right now..they have a sense of being tangled and wrapped up yet easy to break through and always have the ability to be seen through even when one is tangled up inside or viewing from behind them. Today I also enjoyed some beautiful morning light that allowed for me to capture many multi-faceted bokeh orbs of varying hues and degrees of light...
So I use this opportunity to express how I think and feel, have thought and felt and more importantly how I want to think and feel...It is a bit of a release I suppose. My need to give and receive love has so been tainted by my actual ability of it...Wanting to be loved and adored for more than just what I am perceived as or from the many titles I hold from a life of matrimony and motherhood. Those true signs and deep feelings of love have been so absent for so long that I don't know if I'd recognize it now if it slapped me in the face. But I feel it looming..from a far off distance but not so far away that it is unobtainable...My desire to give it feeds the desire to get it..and my ability to show it fuels its...I am still guarded by past hurts, lost love..and years of my love being neglected...only to be noticed when I have far surpassed the feelings of it...So my sense to seek it elsewhere is only second to the knowing that I will get it...so long as I let it...to open my heart completely...to speak the words freely..to allow it to come back to me..to absorb it in instead of reflecting it back out..to truly know what loving is...only achievable if you are willing and ready to accept it...
We learn from reflecting on experience

sometimes I try to learn new skills with Danbo. He is very patient
When you are bound for so long you forget that there is any other option than to submit to the darkness created by others.

I’m having my day
My place in the sun
I’ll grow to resemble
The man I’ve become
There’ll be time for reflection
When I reach that plateau
When the war has been won
No farther to go
And I fear that it isn’t enough
I’m making a fortune
I swore to enjoy
These things I promised myself
When I was a boy
When I was a boy
And things moved too slow
And universes revolved around
Things I didn’t know
When I was a boy
And I made mistakes
I was humiliated
Til I knew my place
And I fear that it isn’t enough
Ignorance hurts
Injustice inflames
I remember the feelings
But forgotten their names
When I was a boy
I saw through their lies
I swore I wouldn’t become
The thing I despised
But events over take you
While you set your sights
On bigger game
On greater heights
God bless amnesia
And the things I’ve suppressed
I can reframe the image
I can discard the rest
A history of holes
Where the pieces that won’t fit
With the story you told yourself
And your place in it
And I fear that it isn’t enough
So put on a brave face
Straighten that tie
And speak like you mean it
Give truth to the lie
And I fear that it isn’t enough

Sasha is a native Russian speaker, and was more comfortable writing out her personal statement in that language. This is the translation:Two weeks ago I turned 30. When I look back on these 30 years, I understand that my life, full of moving to places and traveling - from the South of Kazakhstan to Switzerland through Siberia and the Gulf of Finland to Saint Petersburg - tells a lot about myself: observer by nature, I love to contemplate and experience the richness of this world in its entire contradictory nature. These lines are written at the ocean, in Florida, and I look, with joy and gratitude, forward into the future.
