The church that stands today was completed in 1717. This church was built on the rubble of the 1625 church destroyed in the Pueblo Indian Revolt.

I took a drive through rural Indiana yesterday. I've driven most of the roads plenty of times before but still find something new to photograph each time. Also sad to see a few old places have disappeared or are quickly disappearing, but more on that later.
This old house stands in the shadows of the surrounding trees. Vines typically cover the walls making it blend in with the surrounding landscape. However on this rather cool day in early spring, you can see this house and all of its glory.

So, this shot has been sitting on my hard drive since I took it back in January 2017, I loved the fractured reflection and the sort of dark, surreal alternate reality it conveyed with golden glitter and distorted classic architecture. It's as if the building is saying, "Look at me" but it's not real, it's a distortion of reality taken from the surrounding buildings. Take away the reflection and it's dark building that struggles to convey power and strength, a false power and strength but alluring all the same. So it's with this in mind that it never got posted.
I decided to post it today because of some factors that seem to have come together. One is the obvious end of a four year nightmare and one has to do with me just missing a good walk in the city due to COVID. I've been looking through my archive folders at city pics that never were posted and thinking now is the time. Along this line, I was conversing with Leon, a new contact here on Flickr and was a bit surprised to find that he hadn't seen any architectural shots in my photostream. The reason goes back to not being able to get to NYC or any city for that matter since COVID started so not much architectural or travel photography in quite some time.
With this in mind it seems the time is right to post this shot.
Now that February is behind us ...the anticipation of Spring & its unfolding flowers grows ever keener . This Germanium 'Gerwat' rozanne was unfolding in a local garden on a sunny morning last May ...
Thanks for the visit ....wishing you a happy March :-)
If you read
what this April
rain writes
on gold leaves
in transparent ink,
a blurring script
of how what falls
through air
from nowhere
and shimmers,
for the moment,
a book of days
of unsayable
syllables, lovely,
nevertheless,
bejeweled,
reflective
of late light
along the deckle
edge, dissolving,
running off, falling
again, as all brief
infatuations do
into silence,
perhaps, in time
bittersweet memory,
then you know
the feeling.
--Miguel de O
Green Heron scratching that itch, having a bad hair day too... I could hardly hold the camera still (no tripod of course) because I was laughing, good thing I was far away, didn't want to disturb!!
Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday! HWW too!
Thank you for your visit and support!
Palm trees, ocean breeze.
Salty air , sun kissed hair,
that endless summer......

Legend says that Atlantis city was built by Poseidon, god of sea when he fell in love with a mortal woman Cleito. He made this city on top of a nearby hill and named it Atlantis. It is believed that he walked through these islands until he reached the biggest of them all- Atlantis and found it to be inhabited by people more beautiful and intelligent than rest of the world. It is here he first saw his future wife and fell in love with her.
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week my friends!! :)
Please do me a favor and follow me on my other social sites found below:
I like to isolate myself from the world from time to time, I like to listen to my thoughts and repeat that phrase that we sometimes say "I'm fine".
I like to lose myself in the silence or in the music and redecorate those empty spaces when my desire and my dreams lose intensity.
When doubts corner me, I go to that place to remind myself that I can and always will.

Seems that all herons make this maneuver from the tip of the beak to the back for the final swallow. The green heron is no exception.
...that matches your heels, well, its a moment of happy! I was wandering through this pretty sim, and it was a breath of fresh cheerful air and a respite from the snowy landscapes, that although are pretty, are essentially alien to me since it doesn't snow where I live. I was scampering about in my sassy yellow shoes when I spotted this door...inspiration grasped me! I think I might be becoming an artist, y'all! haha Kidding! I was in the mood for a cheery color palette today though. :)

“You need to spend time crawling alone through shadows to truly appreciate what it is to stand in the sun.” ― Shaun Hick
And if to-night my soul may find her peace
in sleep, and sink in good oblivion,
and in the morning wake like a new-opened flower
then I have been dipped again in God, and new created.
And if, as weeks go round, in the dark of the moon
my spirit darkens and goes out, and soft strange gloom
pervades my movements and my thoughts and words
then shall I know that I am walking still
with God, we are close together now the moon's in shadow.
And if, as autumn deepens and darkens
I feel the pain of falling leaves, and stems that break in storms
and trouble and dissolution and distress
and then the softness of deep shadows folding, folding
around my soul and spirit, around my lips
so sweet, like a swoon, or more like the drowse of a low, sad song
singing darker than the nightingale, on, on to the solstice
and the silence of short days, the silence of the year, the shadow,
then I shall know that my life is moving still
with the dark earth, and drenched
with the deep oblivion of earth's lapse and renewal.
And if, in the changing phases of man's life
I fall in sickness and in misery
my wrists seem broken and my heart seems dead
and strength is gone, and my life
is only the leavings of a life:
and still, among it all, snatches of lovely oblivion, and snatches of renewal
odd, wintry flowers upon the withered stem, yet new, strange flowers
such as my life has not brought forth before, new blossoms of me,
then I must know that still
I am in the hands of the unknown God,
he is breaking me down to his own oblivion
to send me forth on a new morning, a new man.
- D.H. Lawrence, Shadows (1930)

That is how the tourism department of Himachal advertises this state and I think the words are very apt.:-)
It was a lovely cold and clear day today and we went for a drive to Narkanda,some 70 kms from here.There has been fresh snowfall on the peaks and they were sparkling white today.This is a view of the peaks from Fagu some 20 kms from Shimla.The building with the red roof is the Hotel Apple Blossom of the Himachal tourism department.

This beautiful stone bench was a welcome sight on the steep trail up to Anna Ruby Falls in northern Georgia. It looked SO inviting! However, I did not “sit a spell”, fearing that once I did, I might not be able to get back up.

He was walking along looking at the birds, I was waiting till he reached this spot, As it begins to seriously heat up here in the Sonora desert I try to start my morning bike rides about an hour before sunrise and always bring a camera. On this morning i also brought a thermos of tea and some cinnamon toast so Lakeside Park was a good place to stop.Early rides also means less people to avoid due to the pandemic.

I love old fashioned ornaments!
Update: We are making progress! We have found my mother in law a wonderful care home only minutes away from our house. She can move in anytime after Christmas!
Still a lot to do but the part that was worrying us the most is done!
Thank you each and everyone one of you for your kind words of support! You are all awesome!
Well maybe it's just this mishmash of images that makes no sense but I like it and it's made up of a few shots I took this morning. I started with a visit from my deer family, progressed through some dew covered spiders and webs in the sunlight and ended up with a 4 inch long Imperial Moth caterpillar. Interesting morning. I've been working on my vacation shots to the exclusion of a good slide so I thought I'd craft up something from this morning with the caterpillar and the other images composited together.
If you have forgotten or this is your first time viewing my photostream: Things That Make No Sense are just that, assorted bits of amusement for nothing more than visual curiosity and my idea of what I call art or abstract art. Now a series of sorts, the series is interrupted with photographs that do make sense, or at least make sense to me. You can like them or not but they make me smile.
Happy Slider Sunday - HSS!
