Remember, O most chaste Spouse of the Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who implored your help and sought your intercession was left unassisted. Full of confidence in your power, I fly unto you, and beg your protection. Despise not, O foster-father of the Redeemer, my humble supplication, but in your bounty, hear and answer me.
Rings in the water
It is pretty cool
Have you ever thought about it
A word here
A word there
We aren't even aware of the impact we have upon others
It can be the word that turns everything around for the recipient
Suddenly it all comes in a new light
We must of course choose our words
But being silent is never the answer
We all have so many different things to come up with
Lots of valuable experience
So speak up
Don't be afraid to be a fellow human
Speaking up is caring too
This is another for my "Waiting for his return" series. This is the prequel to my prior "No Answer" post which I have reposted in the comments.
Thanks for looking!!!
I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teaching my blood whispers to me. Hermann Hesse
A friend of mine asked why Chicago is always used as Gotham City... I took this picture as my answer.

Two weeks into writing to amazing designers and (oh my god) I still can't believe that so many of them already said: "Yes of course!" (Having in mind that actually everybody said yes, the others simply didn't answer. Sounds even better, right?) Looking at some shops on Etsy, I didn't think in a million years that those people would actually trust me so much with their artwork.
This is what I want to do, working with creative people from all around the world, and I promise you with all the passion I've got:
I will do my very best! *Pinky promise*
Times are quite hard right now, but your encouraging messages and compliments on my work gave me such an uplift, everytime when this white number one on blue backround suddenly popped up, my heart jumped up and down and I felt like doing some cartwheels ..
I can't wait to hold the very first item in my hand, whether it will be some sort of jewelry, an amazingly detailed garment or a headdress slash headpiece, you have no idea how much I appreciate your trust. I really feel honoured, and already a little bit proud, because if my portfolio wasn't what it is today, it would have been a lot harder to crawl out of my comfort zone and ask for collabs. There is still a lot of self-confidence missing when it comes to photography, but I already feel so much better because of your support.
I'm so looking forward to meet some of you sometime next year in the UK, along with a couple of fellow photographers and models. Everytime I think about it I wish I could pack my suitcase right here and now. But as always: Haste makes waste. Thank you so much. ♥
Why do the camels sit in the same direction? That's the question I keep asking myself :D Well, I still don't know the answer... maybe cos they can just like dogs can lick their .... hmm let's move on lol! Honestly I have to admit I am not too fond of the extreme heat in Marrakech, however it was the heartwarming locals who made me forgot all the unpleasant moments with the weather. Going to this city was kind of a last time min decision during my planning & I am so glad I went as it was truly a very interesting place to visit. Before this trip, I have read somewhere before that Moroccans are ranked #3 in the world for their friendliest towards tourists and gosh do they REALLY LIVE UP TO IT!!!... despite English is not their main language to start with. Almost everyone I have came across in Casablanca & Marrakech are so friendly and willing to help ... I am just Amazed with a capital 'A'!! Thank you for making this trip so memorable :)

Hello my Flickr friends!!
Today we have a pink/purple day at Color my world daily and the focus is on heels at Make me smile on Saturday. I don’t know if my picture answers all the criteria for this theme but I had lot of pleasure taking it so it is all good.
Since I’m rather tall (and clumsy) I rarely wear high heels… But when I do, usually something bad happens to me… Note to myself: did I wear high heels just seconds before the pandemic started??
So yes, usually when I have my high heels on, I will fall … at least once during the evening…. Few years ago, I actually broke my wrist because of my high heel slippery shoe!
Or I did wear high heels to an office party, and I was so much taller than my boss at the time… Poor man, it made him super nervous… He was literally at my cleavage height and I was looking at the bald spot on his head from above… And the pictures of him standing next to me were hilarious (at least for me, since I was the taller one lol). I wonder why they didn’t keep me longer at that job?
I don’t know how to walk gracefully in high heels… I always feel like a horse walking across a porcelain store, making so much noise and looking uncoordinated.
and my heel will get stuck in something for sure! Usually it will be in a manhole cover or it will get caught in rug…And everything after that happens in slow motion: you see a rather tall women (that is me) falling like a piece of Polish sausage… and if you are lucky you may see my high heel shoes fly very high and maybe even hit someone ion the head, or maybe just land in a bowl of rhum punch….so my personal clumsiness and inability to walk in high heels was the inspiration for my picture. And I realized that it is been ages since I dressed up nicely (and unfortunately me clothes won’t fit anymore because of all that Nutella I’m eating like crazy with a soup spoon while my kids are sleeping) … It seems like we are in lockdown since forever!!!
Who else has problems walking with high heels?
See you later my friends! Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts / positive vibes!! It is truly appreciated! I sincerely hope everyone is all right and you all have everything you need to survive this with a smile! Have a great day and see you soon!!

The woodpecker does not like the cracked preferring only the sunflower seeds that are mixed in. So he will move his head and toss the seeds around with his beak.
The "Hen Party", the pigeons and the small sparrows are happy when this happens as they get to get the seeds that fall from the feeding platform to the ground.

Today at university a girl asked a question about God and his mystery... in few words my professor replied with the quote written..
I love listening and discovering how people think.. Even if their answer might be incomplete..one day it will be complete.
Český ráj National Park, Czech Republic. Shot "in answer" to an image shot by Ming Thein, and then paid homage to by Gerner Christensen. I felt it might be difficult to tred the same path and somehow find an equal image...fortunately Mother Nature provided the inspiration...

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must the white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
