I attended a farm auction and they were selling the house also with all the stuff inside. I was really drawn to these jeans and clothing that have probably been hanging there for quite a few years. I didn't venture further into the house though..
Experiencing Things Physical
While capturing things with my eye
Walking forward, backward, and spinning around
I have the gift of time spent
And a wondering mind
It's magical and explainable
A story told in words and photos by me.
Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in northern New Mexico with the southern Rocky Mountains. The view is looking to the northwest to the ridges and peaks with the Brazos Cliffs in the Tusas Mountains. This was at a roadside pullout along U.S. Route 64. With this image, I zoomed in a little with the focal length to center the cliffs off in the distance, while still including some foreground interest with the nearby grassy meadow and forest of evergreen trees.

“Good morning, Sky, Bertie; a lovely bright one too.” Said Posh Bear as he sat down beside his friends.
“It is indeed Posh, but it is a worrying one too, well for some of us.” Replied Sky.
“Why would that be, Sky?” Asked Posh.
“I have been having an enormous thunk, and I can tell you both that I am a tad concerned.”
“Poor Sky, I’m sorry to hear that Sky. What have you been thinking about? What, is wrong?” Asked Bertie.
“It’s the buzzy things Bertie. I’m so worried about the buzzy things.”
“I don’t see why Sky, they don’t hurt you and they make our honey, so what is to worry about?” Asked Posh.
“I worry about how clever they are? I mean, how good are their memories. Suppose they had all forgotten that they are supposed to flit around the flowers and then make us honey, what then?”
“I can’t see that happening Sky, they have always made sure we have enough honey.” Argued Bertie.
“I don’t know Bertie; they might forget and the we would have no honey. I was wondering if we should help them, what do you chaps think?”
“I think you are bonkers Sky. How can we help the buzzy things remember what they are supposed to do?” Asked Posh.
“I was thinking that maybe we need to begin writing notices that we can place by the flowers to tell the buzzy things to visit them and start making honey.”
“No, that would never work Sky. We can’t write in bee and they can’t understand bear, so no point in notices.” Said Bertie.
“Ah, I see your thinking Bertie, I hadn’t thought about that. So, what can we do?”
“A difficult one Sky. How about we begin keeping all our empty jars and place them by the flowers so the bees can just drop the honey straight in the jars and that’ll save us ordering on the man’s thingy machine?”
“Brilliant Bertie, you are a genius. Why didn’t I think of that? Simply brilliant, that is what we have to do from now on. We’ll even leave the labels on the jars so if the buzzy things can read, they will know why the jars have been put there.”
“It won’t work fellas, for one thing the man won’t want empty glass jars strewn all over the flower beds. Even if he didn’t mind that or notice, the buzzy things will do what they have always done and that is take the honey to their nest which is called a hive. Only there can it be turned into real honey and then placed in jars for us bears and a little bit we allow hoomans to have too.” Said Posh Bear.
Posh looked at his two friends and could see their concern and so decided to try and help them forget all this nonsense and let the buzzy things do what they are best at on their own.
“Look, how about we go to my store and I give you both a full jar of my honey and the we all go out for a long walk in the garden?”
“What a good idea Posh.” Said Sky as he winked at Bertie. “I knew you would come up with a brilliant idea eventually, Posh.”
“Yes, I agree Sky, our friend Posh is quite brilliant at times.” Agreed Bertie.
“Just not quite often enough.” Whispered Sky as he and Bertie gave a soft chuckle as Posh stood up and they followed him to where he stored his honey.
I have been tagged to tell you 16 things about me by:
Emerald*Boy, paulinou, erregiro, supernenek, buganville, anaosito y madrizmemata
1- My name is Carmen and I live in Santander, one of the most beautiful cities that I´ve known. I love my family, the sea, sealing… and blythe dolls.
2- I have four daughters and I just adore them.
3-My favourite food is “paella”. I could eat paella every day, haha.
4- My favourite song is: Stand by me... but I love almost every kind of music specially of the 60´s.
5- I hate waking up in the morning, I am a night owl. I'm not really a morning person so when I get up early it´s better you don´t talk to me!
6- I love reading, though I admire very much Benedetti, Galeano, Neruda, Coelho…
7- I adore animals but I specially love dogs. I have a dog called Chester and is part of the family. I have a parrot too, his name is Gustavo.
8- I really love flowering plants, my fave is the gardenia plant. So I don´t like that people gives me fresh flowers because I hate to see them fade away and die.
9- Friends are a very important part of my life.
10- I dedicate a lot of time collaborating with an association. People who know me say when I believe in something so strongly I can go on till exhausting all resources.
11- I love taking photos, I always takes my camera in my bag everywhere. When I miss someone I can remember special moments taking a look at my albums.
12- I am hypochondriac... I´m not perfect, haha.
13- I don´t like forced holidays, when you have to celebrate a concrete day because calendar says it, I prefer to choose my free days of parties…
14- I hate routine, I like looking for new experiences.
15- My zodiac sign is aquarius, so my birthday is coming soon!
16- I don´t want to stop doing things that makes me happy. I like a song that says: be happy because it´s free.
Thank you very much for your patience if you have read all of this.
Emerald*Boy, paulinou, erregiro, supernenek, buganville, anaosito y,madrizmemata, no se si daros las gracias x el regalito o mandaros muchos besos por acordaros de mi.....
1- Me llamo Carmen y vivo en una de las ciudades más bonitas que conozco: Santander. Me encanta mi familia, el mar, navegar...... y las muñecas blythe.
2- Tengo 4 hijas a las que adoro y dos nietas a las que malcriar.
3- Mi comida favorita, la paella. Me gusta tanto q no me importaría comerla a diario hasta q se me pusiera cara de china.
4- Mi canción favorita: Stand by me... pero me gusta casi toda la música, en especial la de los 60..
5- Por las noches no me acostaría, soy un búho declarado. Como consecuencia, no me gusta madrugar, cuando me levanto necesito una hora para despertarme y que no suene el tfn .... Durante ese tiempo es mejor no hablarme, jajaja, los q me conocen lo saben muy bien.
6- Me gusta leer todo lo que encuentro, aunque los que me conocen saben que tengo más que admiración por Benedetti, Galeano, Neruda y Coelho entre otros.
7- Adoro los animales, sobre todo los perros. Tengo uno que se llama Chester aunque el no se considera perro y para nosotros es como si fuera parte de la familia. También tengo un loro, Gustavo, que pasa de ser el más cariñoso al más arisco, no se si se parecerá a su dueña...
8- Me gustan mucho las plantas con flores, sobre todo las gardenias. Me encanta ver como salen las flores y disfrutar de ellas en la planta sin cortarlas. Por lo tanto, no soporto que me regalen orquídeas xq me da pena verlas metidas en esas cajitas....
9- Valoro mucho la amistad. Soy, o me considero, muy amiga de mis amig@s.
10- Colaboro en una asociación a la que dedico muchas horas. Algunos dicen que soy defensora de causas perdidas, pero la verdad es que cuando creo en algo, sigo adelante hasta agotar todos los recursos.
11- Me encanta hacer fotos, voy con la cámara a casi todas partes, pero sobre todo fotos de las personas a las q quiero para recordaros en esos momentos en los que duelen ausencias, esos que reconfortan los recuerdos.
12- Soy una hipocondríaca, que le voy a hacer. No soy perfecta ni lo pretendo, y hay cosas de mí que no me gustan, y otras que, a lo mejor, no le gustarán a los que me rodean, pero no creo que cambiar de repente hiciera de mi alguien mejor.
13- No me gustan las fiestas “ de calendario” prefiero festejar libremente....
14- También me gusta experimentar cosas nuevas, cambiar la rutina y escuchar....
15- Soy acuario, dentro de poco cumplo años, o un día más como me gusta decir a mi.
16- No quiero dejar de hacer cosas que me puedan hacer feliz. Como dice una canción de Roxana. Sé feliz, es gratis.
No se si habéis llegado hasta aquí, no me extrañaría, gracias por la paciencia.
Spectacular view during a Hurtigruten Cruise along the Norwegian Coastline. There was Rain throughout the Day, but around 21:30 the Clouds began to disappear and an awesome "lightshow" began.....
This little thing has kept me sane during this extended lockdown... no doubt speaking to like minded people here.
be my friend
hold me
wrap me up
unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
warm me up and breathe me
breathe me

A set up shot for Studio 26 assignment 'exploring the colour red'. I have just read the book; a strange tale, I think aimed mainly at young teenagers but I still enjoyed it.
Having said I had nothing red, I then thought of Clive's red pot and 'grumpy old man' mug, put together with my book.

"There is a loveliness to life that does not fade. Even in the terrors of the night, there is a tendency toward grace that does not fail us. "
— Robert Goolrick (The End of the World as We Know It: Scenes from a Life)
If you look at the photo in lightbox, you will see someone watching you.
Happy Fence Friday, my friends! May you know a Grace that does not fail you.
When we recall the past, we usually find that it is the simplest things - not the great occasions - that in retrospect give off the greatest glow of happiness.

Due to the rapid demise of my faithful old SX10is...
I came home with a new camera yesterday (!!!)
I was expecting to be ambivalent about it
but... it's not too bad ;-)
It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary; only wise men are able to understand them

Life seems to be running at about half speed for me these days. Before the pandemic, my work never seemed to be completed. I'd accomplish whatever I could, whatever was necessary each day, but never really got caught up. Tasks inevitably got pushed into the next day or days. A steady flow of new work ensured that there was never more than a momentary lull. All that's in the past now. Lately I'm adjusting to the new slower pace. What little work comes in is easily knocked out the same day. I just don't feel comfortable with the increasing down time. I'm losing my focus and sense of purpose. Good or bad, our work life tends to define us and our worlds revolve around it. The disruption on work life has brought a fundamental disruption of routine. This on top of the social upheaval of distancing. It's that layering effect where multiple facets of normal life ripped apart, compounded by the open-ended nature of the pandemic...not knowing hot it will play out and what form of conclusion is in store. Lots to consider here. and none of it really good. For the moment I'm grabbing at any straw of normalcy I can still reach. Photography is one outlet. I still find myself reacting to light and shadow. Dramatic end of day lighting in particular as it descends over a cemetery. Things like this seem even more meaningful now than ever. In this dreary old cemetery, I still have a sense of purpose.
