[Papaver orientale “Royal Wedding”]
This poppy in my garden has received the most love, care and attention I could possibly lavish on it, over the past few weeks. I transferred it from a pot in the yard to a new rock container that I made, in the new part of the garden. Initially, it was quite happy and produced a beautiful, large, white flower with a deep purple centre....Then it drooped!!
I decided to get a forked twig to hold up the very delicate head and this seemed to work for a couple of days. Today - the petals are falling off. Such a traumatic time. Who knew?
There are another four flower heads almost ready to bloom, though. Deep breath...

Ended up making and modding like hell to make this but happy with the outcome. End result was suppose to be a sci-fi scientist of sorts but turned into a trauma thot. Still adore it.

Ayer hice un acto de fe, y tras haber habido un enganchón por la mañana en Ataquines por la tarde dieron una vía expedita y me animé a acudir a la imperial para ver si iban dando paso a varios trenes.
Después del paso por Mingorría de uno de los Irún - Abroñigal desviados por las obras de la L.200 salí pitando para Navalgrande porque quería explorar el encuadre que podéis ver en la foto para esta hora de la tarde en los días de verano. Cuando llegué, efectivamente había foto y muy bonita, pero lamentablemente dudo que vaya a volver jamás, ya que en 15 minutos de espera hasta 5 garrapatas llegué a despojarme de encima. Una situación bastante asquerosa que no recomiendo a nadie, así que seguramente me quedaré con las ganas de pillar aquí un tren más vistoso que este chatarrero Vallecas Industrial - Vilar Formoso remolcado por la 335.005 de Transfesa.
[EN] The Transfesa scrap train Vallecas - Vilar Formoso goes trough the Navalgrande station as the evening sun begins to set between the mountains. Tick infested area, be careful!
In honor of the brave Men,Women and Children who endured hell on earth during Australia's worst bush fires in history.
Acknowledging the trauma experienced from Men, Women, Children, our wildlife and farm stock, all creatures great and small.
Small steps on the road to recovery. The ramifications for communities, cities will be huge.
May we continue to stand united as one as we rebuild, heal and dig deep for the strength when the going get's too tough.
We witnessed humanity at it's very best, courage beyond belief, stories of terror and miraculous escapes from hell on earth.
To the many men and women who sacrificed their lives including Canadian Firefighters - we Salute you and will never forget you. R.I.P.
Bravery
DO NOT BE THIS PERSON! "Trauma dumping is when someone shares their traumatic experiences in an overwhelming way, often without the other person's consent. It can be harmful to mental health and friendships."
I believe in persistency sometimes determinedly so, obstinate in the face of adversity. I believe in forever and 3 days, in dreams and soulmates, fairytales. I believe in wild, glorious, delicious dynamic that sings and hums through every communication. I believe in vibrant, luminous, electric, vital and deep connection. I believe in intensity that radiates heat, scatters stars, shivers in the air like a lightning storm, dances beneath your skin, makes you nervous, elated, hungry, naked. I believe in words that make you drown and leave you numb. I believe in intimacy. Also, I am not so narratively gracious sometimes. In which case i apologise.

'Condition of subject is problematic. In addition to the fractures and lacerations sustained on impact after her VTOL was shot down - Which I'd like to be on record as saying was idiotic and irresponsable - she also has 3rd tier burns on the majority of her body from the burning fuel leaking from ruptured fuel tanks. I recommend that the Arulan Cartel is immediately reprimanded for this. That this rare chance at NATO intel could be handled so indelicately is beyond infuriating, it's insanity. How can South America ever achieve independance with people such as this heading our operations?
On the rare occasion we bring the subject back up from her sedative induced sleep, she constantly mutters the word 'Morrow'. I do not know to what this refers to. Tomorrow? It is difficult to say.'

As some of you know - I recently had so called "boo boo"...
I can not walk and I'm in pain - which is not so bad coz I'm allowed to take very strong pain killers- after which I am very dizzy and very happy :)
But everything has a bad side - today I had to change bandage on my own and let me tell you - do not let any surgeons near you...ever! Never ever - it can end up badly - trust me :)
But anyway - I guess it's true what they say - inspiration comes from pain and trauma :P
This smiley face that one of my children drew with sidewalk chalk on our driveway caught my attention. I saw a mixture of happy and sad. Happy in the smiling face and sad that a crack in the concrete cut through the side of the smiling face. This was captivating to me and seemed to tell a story I could relate to—that I often experience multiple feelings that seem to be opposite one another yet both valid. It was so fascinating to me that one of my children’s sidewalk chalk drawings brought up these thoughts.
It’s ok to seek and receive support.
One morning while sitting at the kitchen table I was looking at the flowers in front of me. I noticed there were two yellow flowers—one of them pointed upward and the one next to it was curled downward and was resting on the one that looked like it was standing tall. I thought of the word “together” and the series of images I’ve taken with this theme that has been very meaningful and helpful for me. I spent some time with these flowers, sitting on top of the kitchen table (so I could get the best vantage point) taking several “together” photos. In some of the pictures I noticed the downcast flower—that was receiving support from the flower that was standing tall—was in the shadows while the tall flower was in more direct sunlight which was relatable and added to the meaning for me. I appreciated the beautiful reminder that it’s ok to seek and receive support.

I notice I’ve experienced a deep interest in capturing “together” photos in nature—two plants or leaves together at various stages of growth or decay. This reminds me of moments with a few people who are of incredible support to me, moments when I was not alone (feeling and/or being alone has often been my experience throughout my life) and what a gift it is to truly be together in each other’s presence, connected in a healthy, meaningful, mindful, validating, authentic, caring way, to be seen and accepted in a healing way (which I believe also has some similarities to relationship with God). This can be scary and overwhelming because it’s so unfamiliar to me. It has taken me a significant amount of time to even be able to try to put the meaning I see in my “together” photos into words because it is a very deep, foreign experience to me and I didn’t really have the words for it. And I’m so thankful that these “together” moments I find in nature gently remind me it’s ok and even healthy to be together in healthy connection with others who are safe for me as I work to navigate my intense, challenging, meaningful and rewarding healing journey.

As a way to cope with circumstances beyond my control, survive and work to keep fighting for life I decided to try to take at least one photo (or more) each day. I call this “a photo (or more) a day.” Practicing this form of therapeutic photography helps me work to focus on the present moment, gives me something familiar and enjoyable to focus on as I use photography skills that have become like second-nature to me and being able to view the images I capture helps me recall what I was thinking, feeling and noticing at the moment when I created the photos. More of the photos from this series can be seen on my Instagram account
I may not always have the energy, time or capacity to share photos from this series—especially with the very challenging circumstances my family and I are experiencing—and will do my best to continue taking a photo (or more) a day even if I’m not able to share.
If you would like to support my work and my family, one way you can do so is by ordering my zines:
Many thanks for your support.
