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!!!
1995 Oklahoma city bombing, I worked in ICU and took care of 'the little red headed girl', we had many patients and it was so heartless cruel and gutless to do this to innocent people, especially our children...I woke up one night after I had this dream, I painted it and called it the 'answer' we needed one. The painting is n the bombing memorial archives and traveled to New York after 911 with the traveling archive...still an amature but came across this the other day
Answers are always / kept in closed boxes / with just a few elected / to hold a key. // The boxes further, are defined by codes / like 'AEG', or 'Sch T1'

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. ♥
When I was young the answer was "Poke him in the eye!" But these days I suspect traffic and parking are enough to make a Maltese very cross indeed. Around Valletta and Sliema traffic is horrendous and parking no better, both a real nightmare. For a change there was nothing in front of this garage, so I was able to get my photo. But this was probably the exception to the rule...

I do like a sunbathe every now and then. It reminds me of my desert home beyond the Land of Blue. Though I'm happy in the Land of Green, I do miss the desert. I wonder about the other foxes in my clan. Did they find safe sanctuaries too? Maybe there's a Saffron and a Cinnamon out there calling across the dunes.
I think we will be reunited with Saffron and Cinnamon one day. After all, their souls are on the journey even if their bodies are gone. They probably have new bodies now, and it's only time before we find them again. But will it be the Land of Yellow or the Land of Green? Or maybe a different land all together. The Land of Green is changing now, but our home is still here.
I should tell you about the little one beside me. His name is Labneh. Our human companion adopted him after Hanukkah last year. He was really shy at first until I took him under my ear. He's nervous about that bit of string on his nose. But we all tell him it's part of who he is, and that makes him so endearing to our human companion. Now Labneh accompanies our human companion on all her adventures. I wish I was able to as well, but it is also great to stay snug and safe at home.
But where is home? The answer is the same place as our temple. The place where the memory of Saffron and Cinnamon live on. It's not quite a forest or a river or a desert. Home is where we can be together, safe and snug and warm. It is that temple within our hearts.

Thank you for everyone who has subscribed to my mailing list, I'm trying to do this more frequently to exercise my writing part of my brain. If you have a question (depends on the question)- I might answer it very quickly here but expand upon it in the next email!

I have been listening to The Killers non-stop lately. I'm so in love. But I also bought an old Kings of Leon album and a couple Spoon albums... As well as a ton of other ones. I've spent too much money in the last little while... All on music. But I'm okay with that xD
Also, my photos have been extremely dark lately, mainly because I haven't been in a very good mood. But I'm starting to feel a bit better, so they should be getting a little brighter in no time :)
+Some in comments :)

If not clear from below this shoot opening in Rosslyn Castle was for relief of waste in times of siege acting as a protected stones enclosed shute that was also historically noted as offering up a potential to shoot an opponent in the fundament. I am a shute sayer, though the preferential is chute and castle chute looks good, but so does siege shute. Please do not follow me down the shute spelling and have no fear of looking up this long disused and recently sealed chute. It used to be possible to see the stars from the bottom outpouring exit frame up through the higher open aperture of this stone enclosed safety minded waste disposal feature.
There have been modifications and new building work at Rosslyn Castle in Roslin Glen and the heavens above are no longer visible up through the Garderobe of discontent from the former midden below. The Sallyport contains root words of jump and door and the jump door was close to this dump shute. From former midden and possibly the groaning moat sometimes answered with a wash of the Roskelyn the swirling waters that carved out the foundational rock for the castle all the way with a fall to the stars.

Trying to catch up my delay ... (which is still very big) ... but I need to post a new photo from time to time ...
Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several WEEKS/MONTHS later. And I might post several photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. Je vous répondrai peut-être dans plusieurs SEMAINES/MOIS. Et je posterai peut-être plusieurs photos entre temps.
France. Vosges. Alsace. Bas-Rhin. Cet étang est situé au Col de Steige (534m), qui relie la Vallée de la Bruche et le Val de Villé. Photo prise en improvisant de faire le tour de l'étang.
La photo a été prise depuis la rive ouest de l'étang.
En ce samedi 17 décembre 2022, il y avait encore beaucoup de neige à basse altitude en Alsace, une mer de nuages pas trop épaisse sur la plaine d'Alsace et au-dessus du grand soleil dans un ciel peu nuageux. Ce cocktail est tellement rare, surtout un samedi, que j'ai eu envie d'en profiter au maximum, en allant faire des mini-randonnées à plusieurs endroits différents. Je me suis fixé 2 objectifs principaux. Le 1er à la Cascade de l'Andlau près du Hohwald et le 2nd au Donon. Et pour relier ces 2 endroits, j'avais prévu de passer par le Col du Kreuzweg, Breitenbach, le Val de Villé, le Col de Steige, Ranrupt et la Vallée de la Bruche. Tout au long de cet itinétaire de liaison, je m'autorisais à faire une halte à tout endroit que je trouverais très beau.
Et c'est ce qui s'est passé au Col de Steige. Pourtant, j'y étais déjà passé à d'autres moments de l'année et je n'avais pas estimé que ça valait le coup de s'y arrêter, mais ce n'était pas en conditions hivernales. Il faut dire, que cet étang est particulièrement défiguré par les cicatrices de la civilisation humaine, avec :
- Une grosse et vilaine ligne à haute tension sur sa rive OUEST
- La route D424 sur sa rive EST
- La route D50 sur sa rive SUD
Et avec 2 ronds-points entre les 2 routes. Sa seule rive préservée est la rive NORD mais elle est toute petite ...
Mais ce jour-là, avec la neige et l'étang gelé, le cadre était magique alors je me suis laissé tenter pour en faire le tour (que j'ai bouclé en 30 minutes en prenant tout mon temps). Et je ne l'ai pas regretté, d'autant que je n'y ai croisé que 3 personnes. Sans doute parce qu'il faisait froid (malgré le soleil) et que c'était samedi, où les gens vont beaucoup dans les magasins (surtout si près de Noël).
Sur ce cliché, on peut voir au centre ce petit îlot caractéristique, qui lui apporte une touche bien sympathique, avec sa 10aine d'arbres feuillus et résineux. Pour ce qui est des cicatrices de la civilisation, elles ne sont pas trop visibles sur ce cliché car :
- La ligne à haute tension était dans mon dos,
- Il n'y avait aucune voiture sur les 2 routes au moment de la prise,
- Le Col de Steige et les 2 ronds-points sont cachés derrière l'îlot,
- Les quelques panneaux de signalisation routière ne se voient presque pas grâce aux branches devant ou à la distance.
An answer to how to make a photo that lacks symmetry into one that has some. Thanks to the viewers. I liked the textured plaster on the wall - it adds as much as the wooden things on the shelf.
With pilotman aboard, 47460 hauls 87001 and the heavily delayed 0900 Euston-Ayr 'through the road' onto the Up Main at Lanark Jn. It will work wrong line as far as Law Jn, approx 7 miles away. SLW and isolation necessitated by planned track renewals at Law Jn. Why didn't they plan diversions via the G&SW? Answers on a postcard, please. 20th June 1987.
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you
Will you keep it safe for me
I'll lend it to you
If you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
There's a sun shining in the sky
But that's not the reason why
I'm feeling warm inside
The answer isn't classified, it's my heart
From the moment I started
I tried to be goodhearted
Yes I tried my best
And more or less
I spoke from my heart
There's a lot to be learnt
And you learn when you heart gets burnt
Hearts could never be owned
Hearts only come on loan
If I want it back
I will take it back, I'll take my heart
But I will try my best and more or less
I will speak from my heart
Yes I will speak from my heart
Speak from my heart

Questions lead our lives. From childhood to demise.
We all pass through life looking for answers.
.
Few keep looking for them everyday. Few find them in their calling.
.
Few become the answers.
.
.
So here's a question for you:-
"Which is greater 'the need for more' or 'lack of satisfaction'?"
Right key is always the answer. How often we find it? How often we have the courage to use it?

{Time - Really late at night. Like past your bed time late.
The Wizard paces across the floor in front of a large vault door. His teammate, The Trapster, is trying to break the seal of the door. Whirlwind is on the ground enjoying a cup of coffee, wondering why he's here. Taskmaster is leaning back on the wall wondering the same. He knows he is better off on his own, but for some reason accepted the offer the Wizard gave him.
(Pshuw!)
Suddenly the sound of a teleporter fills the silence in the long hallway. The sound causes all of the "Fightful Four" to direct their attention to the source of the sound.
"Pardon the interruption. I'm looking for the bathroom."
"Piss off, mate!"
"That's exactly what I'm trying to do Paste Pot Pete."
"The name's Tra..."
"Quiet, fool!" The wizard exclaims. The Trapster directs his attention back the door.
"Why are you here, Deadpool?" Whirlwind chimes in.
"No one's listening. I'd just like to find the bathroom.
The Frightful Four make no effort in amusing Deadpool with an answer. Seconds pass and The Trapster finally cracks the code on the vault door.
"Got it!"
"Taskmaster and Whirlwind, go inside the vault room. Get the weapon ready for extraction. Trapster, go get the car."
The three follow the commands. The Wizard walks towards Deadpool and rips off the cheap wizard cap from Deadpool's head.
"Hey! Mickey gave me that!"
"Bugger off, Deadpool. You have no business being here."
"I actually do. You however, do not. I'm here to stop you and your partners from stealing that weapon."
"Why do you care? This weapon will allow me to rule this world. Defeat any hero that comes in my way."
"Y'see that's the problem. I like the way this world is. Sure a few changes here and there would be nice, but I don't want to see anything you'd think of as the ruler of the world."
"Then you'll have to stop me..."
"Gladly..."

Lost my hard drive while I was uploading these photos on the 9th, with years of photos on it... until my husband found the program from Wondershare "recoverit". Highly recommended. If you ever lose a drive, use this before you do anything else. As far as I can see ALL photos where recovered! He bought the full version, in my opinion, well worth it!
