We zoom past so many seconds, minutes, hours, killing them with the frantic way we live that it's important we take at least this one collective sigh and stop, take stock, and acknowledge our place in time before diving back into the melee.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
I just had to use this lovely dress that just screams Jane Austen and her beloved character, Elizabeth Bennet.

The Tamaracks are acknowledging the season in glorious colour now, our forests are dripping with gold. They have turned a bit later than usual - all the other trees have already dropped their leaves on the ground save for a stubborn few.
This particular Tamarack is in our backyard ... we transplanted it about 10 years ago and it is thriving in its new location. My American friends may know the tree by another name - the Eastern or Black Larch.
Six Aboriginal language groups are the traditional owners of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area:

Terrace Falls are located near Lawson and Hazelbrook, small towns approximately 90 kilometers (1.5 hour drive) from Sydney.
Falls are accessible by the short 800 meter walk from the bottom of Terrace Falls Road, or from the other side, Valley Road Hazelbrook. There are now gates on both sides to
stop the dickheads that either dump cars or rip up the unsealed fire trail
The walking track starts approximately half way between these two gated. There are two entry points along the track and it just depends from which Road you access it from.
The track itself is a beautiful example of temperate rainforest with many flowering native mountain plants, fungi, birds and sunning reptiles. Don't forget to look out for the colourful freshwater crustacean, locally known as the yabbie!!!
This walk has come rather rich and lush moss and lichens, not to mention the wonderful tree ferns!
Take your time and scamper up and down rocks, stop, listen and just chill to experience a true Blue Mountains experience!!! You might even get lucky as I did and witness the majestic Lyrebird.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
The intelligence of Crows is well-acknowledged. I have often observed a "murder" of crows seemingly working cooperatively. It often seems that one or more of them acts as a sentinel, loudly proclaiming when a potential danger is near (like mistakenly taking me as danger when I raise my camera). As the crow "caws" loudly, other crows nearby in the trees respond. Those on the ground feeding then take flight. Maybe I am reading too much into this observation, but it has happened often.
Ely Cathedral dates back to 673 and is located north of Cambridge. The Octagon Tower is often acknowledged as one of the wonders of the medieval world and represents a unique structure of medieval engineering dating 1342. The main wooden structural posts weigh 17 tonnes each and are over 60ft in length.
Chapter Three:
The little prince shares with his friends…
Not long ago, one of my closest friends released a collection so incredibly beautiful, so emotionally resonant, and so filled with wonder and delight that I was inspired to try something new and exciting. I decided to create a story that went beyond a single frame, a short picture book, if you will. This is the third, and final, image from the series.
This amazing collection was created by the astoundingly talented iBi, under his in-world brand 8f8. He entitled his collection "Once Broken and Forgotten". Yet, there is nothing forgettable about this breathtaking work. The collection, I believe, is filled with hope, light, and love, and it invites us to dream and create a brighter future. Simply put, its one of the most beautiful collections I've ever experienced.
The bright shining iBi shares his own story regarding his new work HERE.
The innovative new collection, Once Broken and Forgotten, not only enchants but also amazes in it's versatility. From multiple seasons, full packs, gacha items, individual pieces, and a gift, the creative iBi encourages us to think differently and gives us lots of choices.
In addition, throughout the short story, I worked with 8f8's spirited and gentle Sewing Own Happiness Collection!
Stop by the 8f8 store and be inspired!
Keep shining so bright, my friends!
And I hope you enjoyed my little storytelling experiment...

IU-Hi spring Bye
www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLDH-rcYd8c
Your name that was once painful
Doesn't make me regretful anymore
I live as if I have forgotten
You're a coincidence that I want to face again
A low wind blows
In this faint hint of a season
It's not unfamiliar to me at all
My heart reaches out just in case
Spring, you must have been spring to me
Like the voice that used to call my name warmly
Maybe you're doing well
I guess this is a friendly regard
You're still pretty
Hi, hi
On the street we used to walk side by side
There is a flower that blooms out of nowhere
I was in a hurry, pretending not to notice it
But I'm suddenly thinking of it
Spring, you must have been spring to me
Like a comfortable smile shining with full cheeks glistening
Maybe you're doing well
I guess this is a friendly regard
You're still pretty
Hi, hi
So that we can meet on a different road everyday
I walk diligently
I'll be waiting like this
It feels like you're hugging me again
It's what you used to do in the past, without saying a word
In order to get along better
I guess this is a friendly goodbye
I won't not know you
I'll acknowledge you first, like this
Bye

Interior of the Isa Khan Tomb in Delhi. The tomb was built in 1547-48 and is quite well preserved. It is a part of the UNESCO Heritage Site centered on the Humayun's Tomb, which contains a number of opulent toms from the Mughal and Suri periods. Isa Khan Niazi was a noble at the court of Sher Shah Suri.

This image serves as a call to action, urging us to acknowledge the existence of marginalized communities and their struggle for basic necessities. It prompts reflection on the systemic issues that perpetuate poverty and the need for collective efforts to create a more equitable world. While the girl's identity remains anonymous, her indomitable spirit shines through, leaving a lasting impact on those who encounter her gaze.

Contemporary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama is one of the most popular artists in the world, drawing millions to experience her immersive installations.
Exclusively at NYBG, Kusama reveals her lifelong fascination with the natural world, beginning with her childhood spent in the greenhouses and fields of her family’s seed nursery. Her artistic concepts of obliteration, infinity, and eternity are inspired by her intimate engagement with the colors, patterns, and life cycles of plants and flowers.
"Yayoi Kusama (草間 彌生, Kusama Yayoi, born 22 March 1929) is a Japanese contemporary artist who works primarily in sculpture and installation, but is also active in painting, performance, film, fashion, poetry, fiction, and other arts. Her work is based in conceptual art and shows some attributes of feminism, minimalism, surrealism, Art Brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism, and is infused with autobiographical, psychological, and sexual content. She has been acknowledged as one of the most important living artists to come out of Japan.[1]
Downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba. Nobody sees them, yet everyone knows they are there. I'm not sure if they are homeless, drunks, addicts, jobless or all of the above. Everyone sees them, but nobody acknowledges them.
take me to a quiet place
with earth under our backs,
cradled in a forest glade.
there we will point out
things we see and
acknowledge those things
we do not.
in solitude
we take in the wisdom
offered in each other and
take in the hum of the
forest. - PhoebeWahl
Peace in dry country
stone, water, and memory
rest in quiet green
Yes, that was my attempt at haiku. This is a blast from the past of the Cowra Japanese Garden.
I’m doing yet another round of culling my photography archives — the third deep dive in as many years (clearly a slow process). I first posted a version of this shot back when I’d just picked up a camera and joined Flickr. Also when I was overenthusiastically experimenting with that classic fake HDR look. This is a refreshed take with a lighter hand on the sliders, still a combination of 3 bracketed exposures.
The gardens are located in the town of Cowra in the Central West region of NSW, Australia. The gardens were created to honour the historical and ongoing relationship between the people of Cowra and Japan — and the story behind it is surprisingly moving.
In 1960, the Japanese government decided to bring the remains of their war dead from around Australia to be reburied in Cowra, which already housed a cemetery for 231 Japanese soldiers killed during the 1944 Cowra breakout - a dramatic and tragic chapter involving a nearby prisoner-of-war camp. After the war, the Cowra RSL took on the respectful maintenance of the cemetery, which was formally ceded to Japan in 1963. In 1971, Cowra Tourism proposed the idea of a Japanese garden to acknowledge this connection, and Japan agreed to support it, as a gesture of appreciation for the town’s care of their fallen soldiers. It’s a nice outcome I think, for something rooted in war - a story worth reading if you’re into history.
The gardens themselves are a little pocket of Japan tucked into the dry, sunburnt hills of inland NSW. Think: manicured hedges, waterfalls, rocky slopes, peaceful lakes, and the occasional waterbird. There’s also a traditional Edo cottage, an open-air tea house (& you can get Japanese sweets), and a bonsai house (I've always loved Bonsai, don't have the patience to grow one though).
Hard to believe this peaceful garden is in regional NSW - we’re hoping to explore the real thing in Japan next year.
Have a great week out there. Thanks for any comments and likes, they are all appreciated!

Wisteria in full bloom ( my garden )
A climbing vine in the pea family, with delicate hanging clusters of beautiful, pale bluish-lilac flowers that emit a heavenly scent. Native to North America and eastern Asia, ornamental varieties are widely grown on walls and pergolas.
Flora records indicate wisteria has been known to live up to 100 years and even older (there is a 1200 year old wisteria tree in Japan). It's long-life bestows the symbolic meaning of immortality and longevity to the wisteria.

The blown out background sometimes impossible to avoid in a city grid at higher latitudes and perhaps why this shot was left in the archive so long. Enjoy.
They are such good parents, always watching the little ones and guarding them!! At supper time they will watch to make sure that dinner goes down safely! They will often chew the fish up so it is easier for them to eat!! They are so much fun to watch and enjoy!! Thank you as always for the kind comments and favorites!!
Please note!!! I shoot with a huge lens well away from boundaries and off the beach for hours at a time!! It is very important not to bother these birds!! If you are scaring the parents or the babies it is wrong and not worth it!!

Understanding and acknowledging its existence is the pathway to Light
Remaining in Ignorance enables it
It is dark, it is ugly – it is vile
It is the devil’s playground
It is seductive
Only through shining a light on its existence . . .
Can humanity and our earth heal
Humanity is on the precipice
Let’s pray - Amen
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
–Isaiah 5:20
A PRAYER TO DEFEAT THE WORK OF SATAN
O Divine Eternal Father, in union with your Divine Son and the Holy Spirit, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg You to destroy the Power of your greatest enemy – the evil spirits. Cast them into the deepest recesses of hell and chain them there forever!
Take possession of your Kingdom which You have created and which is rightfully yours. Heavenly Father, give us the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I repeat this prayer out of pure love for You with every beat of my heart and with every breath I take.
Amen.
When we acknowledge that daylight is passing and sunset arrives in the truest of beauty a sense of peace overtakes us. The day was long and now we welcome a good nights rest in preparation for a new day. Gratitude and Kindness were a part of today and will be part of tomorrow’s sunrise.
Acknowledge what was.
Make peace with what has been.
Feel the cycle and the flow of the universe.
One deep breath in to hold.
Listen to your heartbeat.
Listen to your soul.
Exhale and release.

Lavenham in Suffolk is widely acknowledged as the best example of a medieval wool town in England.
In Tudor times, Lavenham was said to be the fourteenth wealthiest town in England, despite its small size. Its fine timber-framed buildings and beautiful church, built on the success of the wool trade, make it a fascinating place to explore today.
Although Lavenham goes back to Saxon times, it is best known as a medieval wool town. It was granted its market charter in 1257 and started exporting its famous blue broadcloth as far afield as Russia.
In the 14th century Edward III encouraged the English weaving industry and Lavenham began to prosper. However in the late 16th century Dutch refugees in Colchester began weaving a lighter, cheaper and more fashionable cloth and the woollen trade in Lavenham began to fail.
Most of the buildings in Lavenham today date from the 15th century, many of these were never altered due to the fall of the weaving industry. Consequently the town is still very much on the same scale as it must have been in the 15th century.
I've been watching these boys bond since they met a week ago, but this is another "first"--finding them snuggling together. This series of 4 shots was shot in this sequence. Muse and Guru acknowledged my presence with a few stretches, without waking up as far as I could tell. Then they settled right back to what they were doing. Power napping.
