An image made during that wonderful time of the evening and morning we call twilight. Although, some of the other terms describing the general period, like 'magic hour' or 'magic light' might make more sense to a photographer.

Now and then, I try to remember to actually photograph in black and white, like the good old days. At least I think they were good.

Anyhow, thanks for having a look!

My ways

Went to visit my Common Loon pair this morning to rekindle our friendship. The moment we locked eyes I knew they recognized me from the previous years. The Loon either likes you or it doesn't, It's that simple and very transparent. They were quite calm and relaxed with me. I usually place my kayak in their territory and wait. Within minutes they pop up like Jack-in-the-box. I wished them a successful job raising their young this year and was on my way. This time they came up real close to my kayak for their portrait. I wonder if people were more transparent would we like it as much. Probably not, I notice people rarely want to hear the truth they much rather be pacified with little white lies....or half truths. I bite my tongue a lot. So much so the Natives would probably call me "Sore tongue". lol The "Truth Seeker" has his work cut out for him that's for sure.

#Truth - someone asked me to come back in my mail box today so here I am ;-)

Transparency, as used in business, the humanities and in other social contexts, implies openness, communication, and accountability. Transparency is operating in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are performed. It has been defined simply as "the perceived quality of intentionally shared information from a sender"

One species in the garden is doing particularly well at present with all the rain that's been falling. The molluscs are certainly thriving and loving the new watery conditions after our seven year long drought. Plant life is loving the rain too and the broccoli has grown up like trees, much to the snails' delight. You can almost see what this one had for supper last night with the morning sun shining through its semi-transparent body and shell.

What's our mission

Do we know

But never listen

For too long

They held me under

But I hear

It's almost over

In Detroit

On a Memphis train

Like you said it's

Down in the heat and the summer rain of

The automatic gauze of your memories

Down in the sleep at the airplane races

Try to hold on

To this heart

A little bit longer

Try to hold on

To this love aloud

Try to hold on

For this heart's

A little bit colder

Try to hold on

To this love

Paperback scrawl your hidden poems

Written around the dried out flowers

Here we are still trading places

To try to hold on

Pop tart

Can you envision

A free world

Of clear division

For too long

They held us under

But I know

We're getting over

In Detroit

With the Nashville tears

Like you said it's

Down in the heat with the broken numbers

Down in the gaze of solemnity

Down in the way you've held together

To try to hold on

To this heart

A little bit closer

Try to hold on

To this love aloud

Try to hold on

For this heart's

A little bit older

Try to hold on

To this love aloud

And we are still alive

Try to hold on

And we have survived

Try to hold on

And no one should deny

We tried to hold on to the pulse of the feedback current

Into the flow of encrypted movement

Slapback kills the ancient remnants

That try to hold on

Try to hold on

To this heart alive

Try to hold on

To this love aloud

Try to hold on

And we are still alive

Try to hold on

And we have survived

Try to hold on

Pop tart

You never listen

Skinned knees

Try to hold on

Stop start

What's our mission

Skinned knees

Try to hold on
