"Smile at a stranger. See what happens."
Quote - Patti LuPone
I see one blue-eyed stranger with a very big smile ;-)))
What do you see?
Happy weekend.
You had to shimmy past other walkers because the snow off the packed path was so deep. From a fabulous break in Lake Louise just before the world shut down in 2020.
“With her seasons misled
Stronger than her moods
When our parts parted
She bled and bled and bled…”
(listen to the tune)

Niki de Saint Phalle's Queen Califia's Magical Circle, Escondido, CA, near San Diego. So much hand work here. Walls covered in broken mirrors, polished gemstones, pottery, and tile. Niki's artwork is not to be missed!

It’s just an old grain structure on a country backroad, but it seemed interesting enough for a shot. Rusting away, abandoned....but striking against a blue fall sky, at least to me.
When mom talks we all listen, but we are still allowed to stare at strangers.

In this world we all are strangers. Life and death what we share, will lead us to separate one day.
Who am I …?. Where I came from …. ?. In front of the creator
I sat for many years with my empty heart. I hated and I suffered and I watched that the destiny was unfair .
Then I become blind …. My heart died and I lost all my hope to return. I do rather die but I can’t kill myself. So I just survived !!!!
A Southern Pacific SD40M-2 leads Union Pacific's Moapa, Nevada to Wildcat, Utah coal empty through the Barry Curve in Santaquin, Utah on July 23, 1995. This dangerous little farm crossing (Utah County 4800 West), which sliced through both ends of the famous curve, would later be closed and removed.
Forest Tent Caterpillar Moth, Malacosoma disstria, one above and one below the leaf. Reminded me of that engaging but creepy US TV series about another world connected to ours, but somehow upside down.

Been in SL since 2007.
This August 22nd I'll be 12 years in this world that I live in, just like I live in my RL. No lies at all!
I can't accept one simple lie - either in SL or in RL.
So, we met in this metaverse reality, like eight years ago?
You were never easy, I was never easy.
I'm not easy at all and you never left. Kept coming back to me, with your own truth and me with mine.
This is probably the last image we take ...
... before we meet in person!!
I only have to be grateful to you, the one who lever left. The only person who never left me, despite everything I carry - good or bad, you always believed in me, trusted me. This is priceless in life, either real or "imaginary".
Can't wait to see you!
This time, I know I'll be completely vulnerable.
Thank you M!

A lone sundown walker.
I titled this sundown image, 'Stranger Danger'......when in all actuality, there were likely no threats at all.
This person may have had a dog on lead.
I especially like how parts of this lone stranger seem to be missing from the image. The light reflections on the bench seat and the top of the backrest, give the illusion that he is partially invisible.

Each and every view, comment and fave are so very much appreciated. Thanks for visiting.......

We met Anita one lunchtime in a café in Petworth after our visit to a nearby National Trust Property. She was with her little dog, Benji, who was wanting to be friendly with us. I asked to take his photo, which led us into conversation.
Anita told us they were in the area house-sitting for her niece, away on holiday in New York. Billy the cat also lives in the house, not a problem as he and Benji ignore each other - after a quick hiss and scramble!
I explained my strangers' portrait project and she was happy for me to take her photo. In response to my request for information about herself, she told me about her interest in craftwork: decoupage and pyrography.
She has since sent me photos and explained that she taught herself decoupage, the art of decorating objects with paper cutouts, during lockdown. It involves taking items, painting them, and decorating with images mainly cut from napkins. "Very relaxing and time consuming, just what I needed to while away the days during lockdown!"
Pyrography is the art of burning decorative designs on wooden items with a heated tool, which Anita learnt, also self-taught, during 2025. She described this as "fun to learn as different woods burn differently and I hope to return to this to learn more about shading and techniques in general."
I must admit that the idea of pyrography seemed a little hazardous before Anita enlightened me.
I promised to send photos and the link to her story when posted.
Mutual thanks and goodbyes made, we left the warmth inside the café to be on our way home. It had been a lovely and unexpected encounter.

This photo is special to me because it was my first time to ask a complete stranger if I could take her photo. I was sitting outside on a patio having a beer when I noticed her at the next table. I finally drank enough alcohol to get my courage up to ask if I could take her picture. She said yes and then invited me to come see her perform at a local variety show and photographer her there as well.
