Sometimes it’s all about being in the right place at the right time along with the right lighting.

🌹I forgot that I might see

So many beautiful things

I forgot that I might need

To find out what life could bring

I have never watched any of the movies in the "Alien" franchise (kindly restrain your incredulity, outrage, pity or cheers!), but I was inspired by a comment on a similar photo taken at this pond to make the most of these strange shapes in the ice, originating here on earth. Enjoy your visit with Dr. Rorschach, if I haven't already ruined it! And Happy Sliders Sunday!

"Things Fall Apart" by Cristina

My mother said, "I'm a survivor

I pull together Christmas every year"

"Something has to last," she said

"Once a year let's have the past"

And then one year to reach up high

To hang an angel from the tree

Became a painful thing

"Besides, she's lost her wing," my mother said

Slipknot- Snuff

Bury all your secrets in my skin

Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins

The air around me still feels like a cage

And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again

So if you love me let me go

And run away before I know

My heart is just too dark to care

I can't destroy what isn't there

Deliver me into my fate

If I'm alone I cannot hate

I don't deserve to have you

Ooh, my smile was taken long ago

If I can change I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips

And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss

I couldn't face a life without your lights

But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

So save your breath, I will not care

I think I made it very clear

You couldn't hate enough to love

Is that supposed to be enough?

I only wish you weren't my friend

Then I could hurt you in the end

I never claimed to be a saint

Ooh, my own was banished long ago

It took the death of hope to let you go

So break yourself against my stones

And spit your pity in my soul

You never needed any help

You sold me out to save yourself

And I won't listen to your shame

You ran away, you're all the same

Angels lie to keep control

Ooh, my love was punished long ago

If you still care don't ever let me know

If you still care don't ever let me know

I sometimes see things a little differently then some people, that being said, I liked this shot although it is not your ordinary autumn shot.

Have a great day. Thanks for the visits.

Här kommer mitt bidrag till fotosöndags veckoutmaning - udda.

Tre udda saker i min bild (fast det finns säkert fler!). Odd one out (vet inte hur jag ska skriva den på svenska), udda nummer, och slutligen (och det viktigaste) udda sockor. Idag, söndag 21 mars, är det världsdagen för Downs syndrom. Ett sätt att visa sitt stöd är att ha udda sockor - rocka sockorna - under dagen. Tack till min familj som var modeller för mig och till detta underbara skäl.

Here comes my contribution to fotosöndag's weekly challenge - odd.

Three odd things in my picture (though there's probably more!). Odd one out, odd number and finally (and most importantly) odd socks. Today, Sunday 21st March, is World Down Syndrome day. One way of showing support is to wear odd socks - rock your socks - for the day. Thanks to my family for modelling for me and for this wonderful cause!

Strobist info: One Godox AD200, in a gridded softbox, was placed directly over the "subjects". Triggered with a wireless remote.

Got out and did a little bird photography today. It was sunny and gorgeous, 53F +/-

Hopefully you'll like this more than my little bear cub photo from this morning. :-).

A generous dose of Cassia adds great flavour to a curry made with these lovely chillies - yum!

I got a little time off for bad behavior (caught another cold and am quarantined)! Now if only I felt well enough to be chatty with my Flickr friends...!
