While I was driving home from church, reflecting on troubles and peace in the past week, cloudy skies began to break, with light again shining. Wintering trees lifted branches in praise or prayer. I stopped my car to capture this picture. The following song played on the radio: Unbroken - "The Cure" - www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JKXhxFwVZc
We're all related, brothers and strangers
The king and the beggar bleed the same
We've all got a sickness, a terminal condition
We medicate it but the pain won't go away
See the eyes of a million faces
Looking for it in a million places
Only one can save us, Jesus
You are the cure
Everybody's searching for it
Everybody's reaching out
Trying to grab a hold of something real
You are the cure
Only you can satisfy us
Fill up the void inside us
Never been a heart you couldn't heal
Romans 12:2
Do not allow this world to mold you in its own image. Instead, be transformed from the inside out by renewing your mind. As a result, you will be able to discern what God wills and whatever God finds good, pleasing, and complete.
“Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg.” ~ H. C. Andersen ~
Sometimes we just don't know what we are capable of becoming until we spread our wings.
Swan Lake, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.

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)

S Barciński in 1884 founded a woolen factory at 6 Tylna Street, and two years later a woolen and semi-woolen spinning mill, weaving and finishing shop was established - one of the first electrically illuminated enterprises in Łódź.
Currently, the area of the Barciński Park housing estate. A successful example of revitalizing former factory areas.
Transformation. The former EC-1 power plant in Łódź. After closing, transformed into a center of science and technology.
No more oppression!

Flickr, today was a pretty sad day- one of my pets died this night. she was quite old, a 14 year old cat. But I was really sad today and I feel like I am missing her.
I hope she is doing good, where ever she might be!

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 was fortunate enough to witness the full process of a dragonfly (Possibly a Spiny Baskettail) emerging and transforming from the nymph stage. The full sequence is here if you are interested:

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.

What I loved about this walk was that I didn't know what I was going to find. This golden moment was captured in Oregon during the fall when leaves undergone a transformation of colors. It was a season of pure magic.
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.
