The clothes that you're wearing
They will one day be out of style
And the car that you're driving
One day will wax out in time
Kindness is timeless
Love is so easy to give
It just takes a moment
To show someone you care

It was all just a pile of leaves underwater but the cool thing was that I thought it was really beautiful how it all looked like every one of them were frozen in time.
A long exposure of twilight on the edge of Texas, where steel and light blur into memory. The lamps burn steady while the highway breathes in motion, leaving only traces — a reminder that the road holds stories we can’t always see.
A gritty, soulful study of time, silence, and movement.
Zeitlos —
Mit der Geburt erhält jeder
seine eigene Sanduhr.
Timeless —
With birth everybody
receives their own hourglass.
On a serene countryside lane, under the embrace of a timeless highveld storm, the Blue Train gracefully interrupts the tranquility, its rhythmic 'clickety-clack' resonating across the expansive plains... Only to swiftly recede, leaving behind a peaceful hush.

30th March
Continuing my Gone With the Wind series, I acquired the beautiful White Prayer dress from the Barbie Timeless Treasures Scarlett O'Hara doll. The dress is beautiful and really nicely made. It is white cotton with lace trim, tiny buttons down the front, cameo jewel at the neck and a red satin ribbon belt. It also has a lace edged petticoat with loops for a crinoline cage. As usual, however, the back closure is marred by the use of poppers so I decided to upcycle it with some tiny pearl buttons. I also added a hoop of dressmakers boning to the crinoline loop. I will be taking some photos of my gorgeous Agnes/ Scarlett wearing this fabulous dress but just wanted to share the upcycling process:
- Remove poppers
- Dress the doll in the dress and on the right side of the fabric sew the back seam using back stitch exactly down the middle of her back, correcting the fit as much as possible to the new doll body (this was made for the traditional large busted Barbie). Use a contrasting thread because the idea is to mark the new sewing line.
Using small sharp dressmaking scissors, carefully cut down the threads to open up the seam making sure some threads are retained on both sides.
Sew a running thread down this line, again using contrasting thread, having first measured from the side seams to make sure each side of the dress is equal.
At this point I needed to cut shaping slits in the bound edges of the dress because it needs to curve into her back. Without these cuts the dress would sit badly and give her a humped look.
Remove all the loose threads carefully. You don't want any to be trapped inside the turned edge, especially if you used a colour that could stain the fabric... you still have the running thread marking the line of the back closure.
Now turn the edges of the dress inside and careful tack it in place making sure to fold the edges exactly along the running thread marking the line of the back closure. When you have finished tacking the folded-in edges in place, the exact position of the back closure has been fixed so you can remove the running thread.
Next stitch the turned edges to the inside of the dress using a combination of fine 'invisible' hemming stitch (taking only a couple of threads from the dress side of the fabric) and at this point I also bound the edges of the shaping slits to prevent fraying using a small blanket stitch. I did not fix down the edge bound slits to the dress, to keep some flexibility in how the dress fits the curve of her back.
Once you have a nicely finished edge, all you need to do is add tiny beads or buttons and loops to close the back. I like to add a matching set of buttons opposite the functional ones so the look is more even. I sew on the 'functional' buttons first then create the loops at the right position opposite and at the same time attach the decorative matching button.
Now the dress looks as beautiful from the back as it does from the front!
Timeless sea breezes,
sea-wind of the night:
you come for no one;
if someone should wake,
he must be prepared
how to survive you.
Timeless sea breezes,
that for aeons have
blown ancient rocks,
you are purest space
coming from afar...
Oh, how a fruit-bearing
fig tree feels your coming
high up in the moonlight.

I got lucky twice yesterday - first by being able to get a Nikon D800 camera body at my local Best Buy (my original order with one of the big online retailers was back-ordered and there was no telling when it would ship) and then secondly by having a perfectly calm day in Texas to test out the new camera. No wind is a rarity in this part of the world.
As you can tell, the bluebonnets are in full peak this week and I stumbled upon this magnificent field that covered acres of farmland.
If you have a moment, I hope you'll press "L" and see this in the larger sizes that are produced with 36 megapixels. I'm going to need to buy a BIG external hard drive.
Thanks - as always - for stopping by my photostream today.
19/09/2015, a very hot day at Praia Fluvial Azenhas do Guadiana, Mértola, Portugal.
Timeless tranquility on the Rio Guadiana.
With a known history of some three thousand years, Mértola has been occupied by Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, and Christians.
One thing I doubt has changed in all that time; the animal grazing & watering right here at this spot.
This comparatively low and flat area, at the narrowing of the river to the north of the town, provides easy access to the river.
The town itself sits high up, overlooking the river; ideal for defence.
This point has always defined the uppermost limit of the navigable Rio Guadiana, especially in ancient times, and this, in turn, led to the development of Mértola as a trading port.
A different angle for a portrait, I love the bokeh in the back and the intensity of her headband and her eyes.
Step into the serene ambiance of a traditional Japanese Shinto shrine. This image captures the essence of spiritual Japan with a stone torii gate standing proudly at the entrance. The gate, a common symbol in Shintoism, marks the transition from the mundane world to a sacred space. Its weathered stone texture and robust structure evoke a sense of timeless reverence.
Just beyond the torii gate lies a small shrine building with a gracefully curved tiled roof. The roof's design isn't just beautiful; it efficiently channels rainwater, highlighting the practical wisdom embedded in traditional Japanese architecture. The entrance to the shrine is adorned with lanterns and shimenawa (sacred ropes), which signify purity and protection.
Surrounding the shrine, lush greenery and pine trees enhance the peaceful atmosphere. The natural setting frames the shrine beautifully, adding to its serene and spiritual ambiance. The nearby building hints that this sacred space is embedded in a residential area, illustrating the harmonious blend of everyday life and spiritual sanctuaries in Japan.
This shrine scene isn't just picturesque; it offers a glimpse into the spiritual heart of Japanese culture. The details, from the stone torii gate to the shimenawa and lanterns, embody the deep-rooted traditions and reverence that characterize Shinto practices. This space serves as a tranquil retreat for reflection, spiritual practice, and a moment of calm amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life.
just another sunset to end a perfect day in FL....
