In Memoriam
LÉOPOLD SÉDAR SENGHOR
translated, from the French, by Zack Rogow
It’s Sunday.
I’m afraid of the crowd that looks like me with its stone faces.
From my glass tower crowded with migraines and impatient Ancestors
I muse over the rooftops and hills in the mist
In the calm—the chimneys are serious and naked.
At their feet my dead are sleeping; all my dreams deeds—dust
All my dreams, needless blood spilled down the streets, mixing with the blood of butcher shops.
And now, from this observation post, as if from the outskirts of the city
I muse over my dreams walking distractedly down the streets, sleeping at the foot of the hills,
Like the drovers of my race on the banks of the Gambia and the Saloum
And now the Seine, at the foot of the hills.
Let me think about my dead!
Yesterday was All Saints, the Sun’s solemn birthday
And all the cemeteries were empty of memories.
Oh my Dead, who always refused to die, who were able to keep Death at bay
Away from the Sine, away from the Seine, and in my fragile veins, my indomitable blood
Protect my dreams as you protected your migratory sons with their skinny legs.
Oh my dead! defend the Paris rooftops in the Sunday fog
The rooftops that protect my dead.
Let me leave my dangerously safe tower and walk down to the street
With my brothers who have blue eyes
And rough hands.

and I'm afraid you'll have to see a few too many shots of the birds.
Low and behold, this never happened to me before (unless I can't remember). Unfortunately my backyard has gotten away from me with my bad health, and there is a tall weed just covered with seeds. Well ...
last week, in flies a scurry of birds. Ran for my binoculars and camera and look. A beautiful male House Finch (we're just starting with him). I used to have them in God's backyard garden when I first got here and had tons of feeders up. But not for a long, long time.
There was such a flurry of activity, and they were all pigging out on the fresh, natural seeds! It was awesome.
Shot through my dirty backdoor, unfortunately, but I was afraid to go outside and possibly frighten them away. Oh my ... I enjoyed this little Creation adventure in my backyard. Thank You, Jesus.
Sorry for you, but more shots to follow!
Although this photograph appears to be a street scene caught on the fly -an instance of what Henri Cartier-Bresson called the “decisive moment” -it was actually staged for the camera by Ruth Orkin and her model.
“The idea for this picture had been in my mind for years, ever since I had been old enough to go through the experience myself,” Orkin later wrote. While traveling alone in Italy, she met the young woman in the photograph at a hotel in Florence and together they set out to reenact scenes from their experiences as lone travellers.
“We were having a hilarious time when this corner of the Piazza della Repubblica suddenly loomed on our horizon,” the photographer recalled. “Here was the perfect setting I had been waiting for all these years… And here I was, camera in hand, with the ideal model!
All those fellows were positioned perfectly, there was no distracting sun, the background was harmonious, and the intersection was not jammed with traffic, which allowed me to stand in the middle of it for a moment.” The picture, with its eloquent blend of realism and theatricality, was later published in Cosmopolitan magazine as part of the story “Don’t Be Afraid to Travel Alone.”

How do you feel?
What is there to feel?
So how do we now come to be
Afraid of sunlight?
Not much going on here but the broad leaf trees reaching across the divide, in the gloom, somehow struck a chord.

I’ve recently been attacked by the urge to shoot film again. I’m afraid it’s virulent. I began as a black and white film photographer decades ago and did my own darkroom work. (These pages are littered with some of that b&w work, especially the early ones.) Now, I’ve been shooting digital for some years. So I thought, “Why not try to make digital look like film?”
I have no idea if these most recent four images look like any particular film in any particular developer. They might still look digital, since I didn’t make huge changes. The most drastic was conversion to b&w; then, a little reduction in dynamic range, some grain, and not much else.
I think film is in my future, though. In the meantime, this has been fun; and maybe I learned something, even if it’s not to try this again.

Doing self portraits is a completely different experience and always a new adventure.
Why do you like doing self portraits?
Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. It's where all the fruit is.

wish you a good sunday :)
On a windy bluff in my city is an area where Pasque Flowers bloom annually, an almost hidden area not many know about....and yet, every time I go there is always at least one person looking for them too:)
I was afraid I waited too long this year to visit but clearly I was on time...
Often known as an Easter flower due to its timing but in our climate it rarely blooms that early.
Happy late midweek, flickr friends...thanks for your visit....Pat...xo

I could keep digging
Provide all the things that you're missing, boy
But why should I worry that I'm not enough
Say you don't like me
Enough to stand up and just fight me, boy
Then we will both know that it's time to give up
If I could just tell you
I've fallen in more than I care to now
It's strange so afraid that I might be in love, oh
Love
Devotion
Feeling
Emotion
Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
The return to innocence
And if you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence
That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence
That's return to innocence

Alright, so from what I can see, there is a lot of confusion behind Emma's character :P So I'm going to just straight-up tell you all a bit about her, so maybe you can understand her better :)
1.) Emma is a pythonist. Don't bother look it up, cause all it will say is "A conjurer; a diviner." I liked the original idea, but wanted to make her a bit more interesting, so I built off of that and created my own "supernatural species" :)
2.) Emma does not need to eat human food, though she can taste and enjoy it. What she does need to have to fuel her system (and this is going to sound a bit strange ^_^;) is actually sex. Yes, you read that right, sex. (if you know me well you saw that coming XD)
3.) Emma will never admit to loving someone, at least not easily. "Loving" is against what her species believe. Whether she actually feels love for anyone at the moment remains to be seen.
I hope that helps a bit :) Any more questions, please ask in a comment. Emma and/or I will be happy to answer them (Though there is not garentee Emma will admit to anything ;P)

When I slip into the Yolande Mini, I know I’m wearing more than just a dress—it’s a bold declaration of confidence and edge. Designed with Soft PBR, this piece doesn’t just shine—it mesmerizes, wrapping me in a deep, silky glow that catches the light with every daring step I take. It’s a mini that says I’m not afraid to stand out.
The edgy allure of the Yolande Mini comes alive in its provocative cut. Barely-there straps frame my shoulders, while the plunging back and unapologetically short hemline reveal just enough to keep them guessing. Every detail is deliberate, from the delicate garter accents that tease rebellion to the impossibly realistic transparencies that flirt with danger.
The textures are a masterpiece—finely detailed 2K brilliance that looks almost too real. Whether I’m glowing under PBR-enabled viewers or rocking classic Blinn Phong settings, this dress adapts flawlessly to the mood I want to create. Toggleable PBR and Blinn Phong options via HUD let me choose between a high-gloss shine or a more traditional shimmer—because edgy means having options.
Tailored for perfection, this mini hugs my curves with compatibility for LaraX, PetiteX, Legacy, Perky, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies—yes, Waifu, with transparency and shine intact. It’s the ultimate mix of high fashion and fearless sensuality.
The Yolande Mini isn’t just a dress—it’s my armor, my edge, my unapologetic self. With every step, I own the room. With Yolande, I’m the moment.

Cette année, la couvée comporatit quatre jeunes.
J'ai craint, à cause de la canicule, que ces jeunes meurent de faim ou de soif.
Mais, il sont tous pu finalement prendre leur envol.
Ces trois photos montrent deux jeunes faucons, un arrive à peine à voler alors que l'autre sûrement un peu plus jeune n'ose pas encore prendre son envol.
Bonne journée à tous.
Merci pour vos visites et commentaires

This year, the brood comporatit four young people.
I was afraid, because of the heat wave, that these young people are dying of hunger or thirst.
But, they are all finally able to take flight.
These three photographs show two young hawks, one can barely fly, while the other is probably a little bit younger does not yet dare to take flight.
Good day to all.
Thank you for your visits and comments

Aber, es sind alle endlich ihre flügel ausbreiten können.

Guten tag an alle.

Tenía miedo de que, a causa de la ola de calor, que estos jóvenes están muriendo de hambre o de sed.
Pero, todos ellos son finalmente capaces de emprender el vuelo.
Estas tres fotografías muestran dos pequeños halcones, un apenas puede volar, mientras que el otro es, probablemente, un poco más joven aún no se atreven a emprender el vuelo.
Buen día a todos.

Dit jaar, het brood comporatit vier jonge mensen.
Ik was bang, want van de hittegolf, die deze jonge mensen sterven van honger of dorst.
Maar, ze zijn allemaal eindelijk in staat om het luchtruim te kiezen.
Deze drie foto ' s tonen twee jonge haviken, een nauwelijks kunnen vliegen, terwijl de andere is waarschijnlijk een beetje jonger nog niet durft te nemen de vlucht.
Goede dag allemaal.

Ho avuto paura, perché l'ondata di calore, che questi giovani stanno morendo di fame o di sete.
Ma sono finalmente in grado di prendere il volo.
Questi tre foto mostrano due giovani falchi, un volare a stento, mentre l'altro è probabilmente un po ' più giovane, non ha ancora il coraggio di prendere il volo.
Buona giornata a tutte.

Este ano, a ninhada comporatit quatro jovens.
Eu estava com medo, por causa da onda de calor, o que estes jovens estão morrendo de fome ou de sede.
Mas, todos eles são finalmente capazes de tomar o vôo.
Destas três imagens mostram dois jovens falcões, um mal consegue voar, enquanto que o outro é, provavelmente, um pouco mais novo ainda não se atrevem a tomar o vôo.
Bom dia a todos.

You could buy me diamonds
You could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby you know I'm worth it
Dinner lit by candles
Run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last, to last
'Cause baby you know I'm worth it
Wanna please wanna keep wanna treat your woman right
Not just dough but to show that you know she is worth your time
You will lose if you chose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can find a man who knows her worth
'Cause a real man, knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth
If you treat me fairly
I'll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby I…

Mini-me out in the woods.
I had to change into warmer clothing for the winter months!
Now that it is getting closer to 2025, I am thinking of doing a 365 project that will feature a Lego a day?
I've seen others that do it and I think it is a great photo project!
We’ve had a lot of stormy days lately, with heavy rain and sudden thundershowers. Charlie, like most cats, is not a fan of the thunder, but she does like to watch the rain. I captured this shot of her when I went outside to see if I could get any good garden photos in the bright golden sunshine that followed a soaking. Her buddy Rosie is afraid of both thunder and rain, but I’m pretty sure that eventually Charlie will show her how much fun playing with raindrops can be.
Happy Caturday!
