Natural One/ The Folk Implosion
We were back to the gannet colony on Oct 10, 26 days later than when this image was taken. There has been quite a change in the appearance of the chicks and many of them had already left the nesting rock. I believe this to be the same chick as I photographed on Oct 10th (see previous image)

Transformation. The former EC-1 power plant in Łódź. After closing, transformed into a center of science and technology.
A Golden-crowned Sparrow appeared in a local park back in November and stayed through the winter until it left sometime around second half of April. This gave an opportunity to study how the bird plumage changed over the months from basic to breeding. Here's a composite of two photos, the one on the left was taken on Nov 21 2021, whereas the second on the right was taken on April 17, 2022. The faint yellow on its crown transformed into bright yellow with black marking around the eyebrow, giving it a full adult breeding plumage. Scarborough Heights Park, Toronto, Ontario.

i glitter upon your arrival
embracing your warmth
melting into you
~mao~
There is nothing more welcoming than the morning sun rising to bring warmth. It is even more exciting to watch the overnight icy crystal formation comes to life before your eyes the next morning, glittering like a beautiful symphony and melting away to start my day. I would like to thank all my wonderful friend, my ray of sunshine, my inspiration and my symphony conductors to start my 2024.

So, with each personal season of distress we receive the opportunity to evolve and grow. Transformation is life.

When the light reflects
in oh so many ways
we wander into rain
to cool our brains
and watch afar for
the sounds of
sizzling.
Butterflies represent transformation. I have been seeing a lot of butterflies lately and saw this when visiting Mall of America in Minneapolis.
The sun is getting high enough in the sky to start burning off the heavy fog that has enveloped the Morton Arboretum on Christmas Eve, 2019. I was struck by the sense of transformation when I made this photo. Night into day. Fog into sunlight. And the last few leaves still hanging on for a bit longer despite winter's arrival with the solstice three days earlier. All life is change.
In healthy togetherness there is a beautiful though risky and vulnerable transformation when the parts of you that are wounded, harmed, neglected, faded, worn and torn start to be seen, validated and cared for. You internally take the shape and meaning of a butterfly and—often alongside the deep sadness and pain—begin to experience metamorphosis and live in a new light, filled with a little more life, courage, hope and grace as your body, spirit and soul begin to break free from a lifelong prison. It certainly isn’t easy, and—as you are able—it is worth taking the steps of the intense work and courage that is required at a pace appropriate for you.

As I looked through some photos I’ve taken I noticed a few that I categorized and called “together” (it seems perhaps this has become a new, naturally occurring photo project)—they were photos of two dandelions or two leaves together at various stages of growth or decay. This reminded 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 something I’d often been drawn to capture—the feeling of “alone”) 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) though it can be scary and overwhelming because it’s so unfamiliar to me. I’ve been thinking about this a lot as I look at, share a few of the “together” photos and notice and capture more “together” sightings I encounter. And it has taken me a significant amount of time to even been able to try to put the meaning I see in the photos into words because it is a very deep, foreign experience to me and I didn’t really have the words for it.
Fantastic news! I was notified to be a multiple winner of the International Color Awards 2016 with four different photos.
This image won the 2nd Prize (abstract / professional category). I also won another 2nd Prize (architecture / professional category) and two honorable mentions.

In the Greek myth, Leda was ravaged by Zeus who had assumed the form of a swan. In my version of the story, it is Leda who possesses the power of transformation. Zeus beware!
