... logo de manhã, passar um sonho pelo rosto. É isso que impede o tempo e atrasa a ruga."

Simple things like...
... first thing in the morning,
cleanse the face with a dream. That's what stops time and delays the wrinkle."
After sifting through and editing 600-odd images from Saturday night I'm all photo-ed out today!
For some reason Toby finds the name of this plant hilarious ;)
Some more South London cloud reflections.
This is the Blue Fin Building. Completed 2007.
Architects: Allies and Morrison.
I actually stole this idea from Leif Mannerström, former owner of the best restaurant, "Kometen" in Gothenburg.
You don´t only boil pasta, but you cook all ingredients basically at the same time, in the same pot.
I don´t remember what I put into it, but it includes chives, pesto, sundried tomatoes, olives and some big shrimp.
I do recall that my spouse was praising me for this meal.
She thought it was delicious.
But no recipe, sorry.
Towards the light. Stratosphere, a new East London residential development designed by Stockwool for Telford Homes,
Had a walk up on the Ridgeway on Saturday , decided to travel light and just take my camera and a couple of lenses rather than carrying my usual back braking amount of gear with me
Its nice sometimes to just keep it simple, No tripod , no filters , Just shoot it as it is .......

Plants have to be pretty hardy to survive the hot dry air of California summer weather. Jade plants rank right up at the top as being up to the task. I have had this plant for 40 years.

Another detail shot of the 1970s extension to Stockport Civic Offices. Built in 1975. (Same facade, different perspective).
Designed by J.S. Rank, OBE.

Detail shot of Whittle Arch, public art installation in Coventry, England. It is dedicated to Sir Frank Whittle, the inventor of the turbojet engine, who was born in Coventry.
The arches are one of two steel complex torsion structures built in 2003 designed by architects MacCormac Jamieson Pritchard.
I believe they were designed to resemble vapour trails.
The building through the arch is 'Millenium View', student accomodation in Coventry, England.

Another photo of the building shown in Simple Abstract 120.
This recently refurbished former Port Authority building in Tarragona, Spain, resembles an abstract crab. It is brutalist building designed in the 1970s, constructed in 1978, by the local architect Josep Maria Garreta Cusidó and stands boldly on Tarragona’s shoreline.

"The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong." - Laura Ingalls Wilder
These past few days have felt like summer with warm temperatures, sunny skies and trees turning that wonderful lime green with new leaves. So I have been distracted from Flickr by doing the things I love to do in the summer. My garden is looking so great. I worked on an art project for my garden as well as tidied up the weeds. I have enjoyed watching all the beautiful birds visit my backyard and a few of them build nests. We have meals on our back deck which feels like camping. We hike long urban hikes which includes our local park. Then last night we camped out all night in our backyard.
The Trilliums are out and I said I wouldn't take any more Trillium pictures because I have so many good ones in my files. However, there was the odd one posed so nicely that it caught my attention. This one had such a gentle Purple/red color compared to the others in its group that I honored it with a portrait. It also made me stop to realize that I normally would take this pictures on the Bruce Trail. With that trail being closed right now I was glad to see the blooms in our own park nearby.
I also realized that it was the simple pleasures of outdoor experiences I love so much and it didn't really matter where these things happened. It can be in our own backyard. The things we see every year can be beautiful each time you see them again if you use fresh eyes.
