... in my tulip
The story behind this photo.
In the past, I took many photos of tulips. They are very photogenic flowers. Most of my floral images were taken in my favourite park. This spring, the park is under renovation. Therefore, I look for tulips elsewhere. One day I came across an old man's (90) beautiful garden. I admired his garden before, not knowing anything about the gardener. This time he came out of his house and greeted me. We started to talk. He told me about himself, about living alone after the love of his life passed away. We talked about his great passion for gardening. ... we talked about me too :) Our encounter was enjoyable for both of us. I took some photos and promised him, that I'll be back and we'll talk again.
Many thanks to those who take the time to view, fave, or comment. It is truly appreciated.

19880618DE Unknown sewer inspector under Theodor-Heuss-Platz Berlin Germany #blackandwhite #192 #sewer #inspector #abwasser #knownknowns&unknownknowns #art #realpeople #reallives #truestories #portraits #b&w #photography #instagram #street www.hughes-photography.eu www.hughes-photography.eu www.flickr.com/photos/michael_hughes www.flickr.com/photos/michael_hughes www.hughes.berlin @michaelcameronhughes
As this is Horace’s first year in Cornwall he is more than keen to get up to speed with places of interest. So we loaded him into the car and set off for St Michael’s Mount.
Hoof was busy on this day wallpapering his lounge, don’t ask, so this was an ideal time to introduce Horace to those famous legends of Cornish folklore Denzil Penberthy and Slipalong Trevaskis, most of you will be familiar with this pair as they fill quite a few columns of celebrity publications.
However for any newcomers that may be unfamiliar with Denzil and Slipalong, plus some of the history of Cornwall you will probably find the following true information facinating.
From about 1193, I say loosely as the internet was a bit unreliable in those days until about 1473 just after the Wars of the Roses, the Mount had weathered many battles.
So from 1473 until this day Denzil and Slipalong have been in charge of security of the Mount and guess what, not a single attempt has been made to launch an attack on it, or even enter the waters of Mounts Bay.
This is largely due to the fact that Penberthy has this ability to drink anyone under the table, and this is the ultimate deterrent for any wannabe troublemaker.
Remember Napoleon who was exiled to the Island of St Helena in 1815 for being defeated at Waterloo. Well that was all set up and a big cover up, basically Denzil challenged Napoleon to a drinking contest in Marazion one Friday afternoon (like you do) well Napoleon was just a lightweight in drinking terms, and did not have the stomach to keep up with Denzil and in turn lost face, and quite a bit else and it all got a bit messy as you can imagine and the rest is history as they say.
Ask Denzil and Slipalong about retirement and they will hear nothing of it, as they feel it is their duty to protect the Mount into eternity.
Horace so enjoyed meeting this pair of legends and came away a very enlightened Pig.
As always thank you so much for viewing my photos and reading these true stories plus the comments you leave.🍺🍺🍺🐎🐷😎😂😂😂
Beneath this tree lies a story. (When the day comes to cut it down, don’t forget to dig among its roots.)
There is a letter whose ink has surely been washed away by the summer rains, and whose message will remain unknown forever.
Calvin Dussart and Charles Myncke are two students of the Mons School of Arts. Their project was born in the drawing workshop of said school in the class of Djos Janssens, who advised and guided them throughout the creation of True Story.
They wondered about the many walled windows the city had and what that meant. Their curiosity gave their imagination free rein. They tried to imagine what was going on behind these walled windows with a wink and a nod through reproductions of Hollywood comic books and movie posters from the fifties.

I was barefoot on the beach and pushing Blanca along in her limousine when I suddenly stopped in my tracks: There was a garter snake on the beach right at the waterline! It was low tide and the distance to any wooded area was considerable. I was baffled how this snake could have gotten there.
The snake seemed unhurt albeit somewhat slow and disoriented, seeming just as puzzled as I was to understand what had happened. Since I didn't have my camera (of course!), I fumbled with my cell phone to at least get a couple of pictures before any rescue attempt. The waves came closer and closer to the snake and after endless minutes my phone only managed to tell me that it hadn't enough battery power to start up! Tssss, isn't it always like that?!
So I scooped up the mysterious little castaway and carried her to where the forest begins. She curled up in my hand and looked directly at me during the whole walk. It was a rare moment of closeness with a wild snake and very adorable!
I found a nice place among the trees at the bottom of the hill. A trail winds up the hill from the beach and on this trail I have seen garter snakes a number of times - right before they vanish into the underbrush. Snakes are so shy in Oregon! I gently set her down and she was still looking at me. I gave her a long goodbye glance, wishing her all the best and wishing I'd been able to get a picture.
At first, since all things on the beach are brought there by the waves, I just assumed she must've somehow fallen into the Rogue River and then been washed out to sea and up onto this beach, which is what happens to branches and trees after storms. It just seemed so hard to believe how she could survive that. I know some snakes are excellent swimmers but garter snakes? She was dry when I found her. I didn't see any slithering tracks around her in any direction.
Later, it occurred to me that a hawk may have grabbed her from somewhere and for some strange reason flew out to the beach and accidentally dropped her there? That also seems pretty hard to believe. I just don't know!!
A few days later, still regretting that I wasn't able to get a photo, it suddenly occurred to me that I could illustrate the encounter another way. Back in December I had started using watercolors, learning from the many excellent YouTube tutorials out there. It's a difficult art and quite intimidating for a beginner, but when I thought of it as simply the only methodology available to me for documenting my snake encounter, I found it most enjoyable!
She was very beautiful! I think she was a Coast Gartersnake but I'm no expert. I hope she was able to recover and thrive. :)

Was in the creek last week and Lance Rudge took a snap of me in the water at almost the same spot and I really liked it hence I decided to compstomp him. LOL. I was here again with Justin Poe and it was his first time hopping around the creek his attractive two-tone waders that he just bought; That I recommended; That lance recommended me to buy 2 years ago. I thought I will grab him a snap with it and he happened to wade to almost the same spot.. Gone are the days where he had to balance on 2 rocks in the creek so to stay dry and to quote DeAnn, "Justin was like a kid in a candy store." #truestory

All I did was clicked the shutter. >:D
Yesterday evening I watched the film "The Cove" on DVD.
It is about the true story of dolphins killing in a Japanese town called Taiji. The fishermen there killed 23,000 dolphins every year using spears and knives in a secret lagoon.
The lagoon water was all covered with blood red. The dolphins were struggling in the water and it was such a cruelty scene.
I have to calm myself down with the all-green picture.
The anti-whaling activist Ric O'Barry in the movie asked the audience to act against all these killings and captivity of dolphins (in those aquariums). It is the captivity of dolphins that creates the market of dolphins catching and selling.
I am a pessimistic person. It is so difficult to change human behavior collectively. I believe the only way to stop making more harm to the planet and other wildlifes is to remove human race totally from Earth.
It is sad I am one of the members of this spieces.

I am a one year old tom-cat. I was born in Napanee, Ontario at the trailer park. *OSPCA workers found me there and took care of me. Later they placed me at the PetSmart store, so I could find a new family. However, I ran away, taking with me some toys. For a short time, I lived close to the store and visited it to get my meals. OSPCA ladies took care of me again and after the vet's check-up, I was sent to OSPCA facility close to Toronto. Let me tell you, it is one of the most luxurious shelters. A new family found me there and I was adopted.
I am a very energetic, playful and loving boy. I adapted quickly and found endless love.

Just one of those situations where the ol oojamaflip is drashed int deck, translating this from Cornish to English will read -: Emphasis must be placed on securing the tripod and its associated equipment securely into the sand as much as possible then wait in anticipation because when the tide goes back out it nearly takes you and the gear with it.🏊♂️
You then regroup do it all over again until you get a shot that (a) is not out of level and (b) looks half sensible, well actually that is a decision you good people will make.
Then it is back to the rocks and drink in the wonderful surroundings as darkness falls over the Camel Estuary, like a little piece of Heaven. 😎
I very much appreciate the time you take in visiting my photostream, your comments and faves are most welcome, thank you.
this was in a hotel bar that i kinda, sorta, crashed. the building itself looked like a cathedral, but when i found out it was a hotel i figured i would risk getting yelled at for entering those imposing golden doors. as it turns out, the man who greeted me listened to my plea to "only take a few images" with kind amusement. the fact that i was holding the rolleicord probably helped - max does seem to disarm people with his charm :)

when she uses her boyfriend as a prop for an instagram photo and he has to stay still for more than a couple hours when he'd rather be watching some random video gamer on twitch. :P
and he didn't object because he adored her.
absolutely. unconditionally.
oh, and he also wouldn't let any other boy do it.

The Lord Jesus Is My Savior | God’s word "The True Story Behind Work in the Age of Redemption"
www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/true-story-behind-work-in...
Introduction
Almighty God says, "Jesus represents all the work of the Age of Grace; He was incarnated and crucified, and inaugurated the Age of Grace. He was crucified in order to complete the redemptive work, to end the Age of Law and begin the Age of Grace … The work of Jesus represents only the Age of Grace; it does not represent the Age of Law and is no substitute for the work of the last days. This is the essence of Jesus’ work in the Age of Grace, the second age of mankind—the Age of Redemption."
Recommend For You : knock and the door shall be opened
Not sure about this one, I've seen so much b&w about recently and felt inspired to give it a go again, I'm never happy with my b&w conversions and always end up going back to colour when I try it these days....It makes me so happy that Griffin enjoy's reading, we had our routine check up at the dentist a few day's back and it's always quite a wait in the waiting room, I said to him why don't you take your psp along and he said he would rather take one of his books (swoon).
