"A teu lado me deitei. A ria ofereceu-me um espelho perfeito em todas as dimensões, e para onde quer que me voltasse o brilho do teu olhar me iluminava e seduzia. Neste mundo velho e cinzento a tua cor renovou a minha existência em garridos tons que assim me permitiram sorrir-te em cada hora minha que é tua também.
Ficaste. E assim no calor do dia e na frescura da noite a pureza do teu ser me alimentou de constante felicidade. O céu encheu-se de azul e o horizonte de luz. O tempo deu lugar à esperança que indo-se embora ficou. Como assim ficou a beleza da tua imagem de azul-celeste que eu retive, e retendo-te amei… Amei até ao infinito como amo hoje e amarei. Fineza mais fina, pureza mais pura, prazer mais intenso, intensidade de viver. E vivendo em ti morri porque morrendo na tristeza ressuscitei na mais desejada felicidade.

Flowers from the garden arranged around a Chinese made teacup. This teacup was a gift many years ago from my daughter who spent a year in China on missionary work. This was hand-painted and also has a lovely matching plate with it.
Lighting was a strong backlight up high to create some translucent in the leaves/petals and a rim light on the vase. Main light was a soft window light. Post In ON1. Background and texture work created in Corel Painter.

I have gone past this old house on the Molson Chesaw Road many times in my Washington State adventures, but it never really stood out to me. Normally, this area of the Okanogan Highlands is very dry and brown. A few days ago, I once again was in the area and the old house looked different, maybe it was the angry clouds or the tall green grass that drew me in to stopping. I parked and walked up and down the road as I took a few shots from different angles. I settled on this shot as I think it conveys more of the mood I was looking for.

TRANQUILLITÉ
Un silence profond, abyssal succéda à la furieuse tempête de neige qui avait foudroyé la vallée de la rivière, la forêt environnante et notre modeste cabane grinçante.
Ce silence aussi soudain qu’étrange calma mon esprit, comme s’il avait été sous l’emprise d’une Magicienne, d’une Enchanteresse. Une tranquillité absolue qui m’imposa un moment de recueillement, improbable autrement. En moi, une sensation s’imposait de plus en plus nettement: celle de ce lien indicible qui nous unit, nous les êtres vivants, à notre planète, à nos origines, à l’Univers…
…dans un silence profond.

STILLNESS
A deep, abyssal silence followed the furious snowstorm that had struck down the river valley, the surrounding forest and our modest creaking cabin.
This sudden and strange silence calmed my mind, as if it had been under the influence of a Magician, an Enchantress. An absolute tranquility that imposed on me a moment of contemplation, improbable otherwise. In me, a feeling imposed itself more and more clearly: that of this unspeakable bond which unites us, us the living beings, with our planet, with our origins, with the Universe…
…in deep silence.

The other day heading out for a walk/ride after work I came across a persons garden still lush with Roses. It was a very windy day and not much sun. Sun came out for a few seconds. Enough to shed a little light on this pale pink beauty. Hard shot to capture with the strong winds but managed a few.
See in Large !!!! Ver en Grande !!!

which is my work,
which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished."

Now long abandoned, the Hawkscraig pier was erected in 1866 for paddle-steamers carrying day-trippers across the Forth from Edinburgh.
When the railway came to Aberdour in the 1890s via the Forth Rail Bridge, the demand for the service declined and the demise of the pier shortly followed.
The island in view is Inchcolm.
Many thanks as always for your welcome views and comments.
