Plant macro, b&w, negative. Love is ... the holding hands on the road towards destinies.

BCC Treasure Hunt Theme 21 (June) Affection - Affection takes many different forms and perhaps companionship is one of the most enduring. The affection between companions grows perhaps from a shared interest. Most lightly this couple share an interest in birdwatching as they were spotted at RSPB Arne sheltering on the edge of the woods as the temperatures in the open reached 27°C.

この祭りの雰囲気が”温かい”理由が、少しわかったような気がしました。

A child finds the light which he made and gives a mother the place.

A mother takes a picture of the light in a photograph joyfully.

I felt that the atmosphere of this festival understood a few.

I noticed these two never had sexy time. Also never showed Tamuz' back tattoo.

Unfortunately Stravos' face-up chipped for the 4th time so it's time to try something different once again : P

Viridiana

In 1960, for political propaganda reasons, Franco instructed his minister of culture to invite the country's most famous filmmaker to return to Spain to direct a film of his choice. Buñuel accepted and proceeded to make Viridiana produced by Mexican film tycoon Gustavo Alatriste and starring Mexican actress Silvia Pinal. He left Spain as soon as he finished the film, but left a few official copies. After viewing them, the copies were burned by the dictator's authorities. The minister of culture was reprimanded for having passed the screenplay in the first place.

A copy of Viridiana, however, had been smuggled to France, where it proceeded to win the Palme D'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival. The film was banned in Spain, but got international attention and praise (with some exceptions).

Here's Hannah waiting for her supper. Rosie had already passed this month, so there was only one supper bowl. This is a sad image for me, as Hannah died this year, May 2023. I am so sorry that she is not a part of our lives anymore, but still happy with her in our memories, such a loving and sweet companion.
