The lovely “Stokknes” and the mountain, “Vestrahorn” on a beautiful July evening

(I am aware of the repeating heads I only realised after I'd taken it and didn't want to go to the trouble to setting everything up to redo it)

 

The first figure (Same as in 1940) is an RAF airman, representing not only the bomber campaign over Germany but one of the most famous raids of the Second World War. The Dambusters raid in May 1943 attacked German dams in the Ruhr, a heavily industry area using a specially designed bomb. The flooding caused put factories out of action and stopped any water fueled power stations from generating electricity. The second figure represents the German army's retreat through Russia as the Russian army with new tactics and more men gain the upper hand. In July of 1943 Commonwealth and American forces landed at Sicily to begin the Italian campaign following after the African campaign. And finally is a French Resistance fighter, which represents the increased attacks on German communications, vehicles and men as the invasion of Europe drew closer.

 

Thanks for taking a look, would love to hear your comments as always. :)

I think it's always important to be vigilant of what you're doing and aware of your surroundings.

[Leona Lewis]

 

With this series of images I'm hoping to raise awareness of mental health and stop the stigma, when it comes to mental illnesses. Stay strong!

Being aware is being alive, remember that you aren't your mind and your thoughts, you are the one observing it the "I" that is consciousness.

October

 

O hushed October morning mild,

Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;

Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,

Should waste them all.

The crows above the forest call;

Tomorrow they may form and go.

O hushed October morning mild,

Begin the hours of this day slow.

Make the day seem to us less brief.

Hearts not averse to being beguiled,

Beguile us in the way you know.

Release one leaf at break of day;

At noon release another leaf;

One from our trees, one far away.

Retard the sun with gentle mist;

Enchant the land with amethyst.

Slow, slow!

For the grapes' sake, if the were all,

Whose elaves already are burnt with frost,

Whose clustered fruit must else be lost—

For the grapes' sake along the all.

  

Robert Frost

When you go walking, train your senses, see what was previously hidden. See the sights, colors, shapes, textures, hear the sounds, subtle noises, smell the floral fragrance wafting through the air, feel the wind on your face, stop at the bakery and taste some fresh baked goods. Take time to tune yourself in to your everyday surroundings, you'll see what you are missing.

We’re Here! -- The Anti Penguin Domination League.

 

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and it’s time for my annual self portrait in pink on behalf of the Sutter Home For Hope campaign. Over the past 16 years, Sutter Home has donated more than $1,250,000 to support breast cancer research, treatment and education nationwide. Every year the employees wear pink on the first Friday of October, and they also prepare a self portrait in pink and include it in a collection we all enjoy.

 

I decided to do something a little different this year. Lemon~art is hosting Treat This Challenge 180 at Kreative People, and the images provided just seem so right to combine with my self portrait. You can see the originals in the first comment box below.

 

Seems that the signs of fall started early this year, or maybe it's just that I was hoping for a delayed transition to put off winter a bit longer.

 

Either way, it seemed like overnight the leaves started to change and fall and suddenly the neighbour's had started to clean up their gardens for the change in seasons.

 

Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

A Zínia elegans, originária do México e membro da família Asteraceae, foi fotografada no Festival Internacional de Jardins de Ponte de Lima, evento anual português que visa promover a arte nos jardins e a consciência ambiental. Esta planta herbácea anual destaca-se pela sua floração prolongada do verão ao outono e pela variedade de cores vibrantes, atraindo polinizadores como borboletas e abelhas. As zínias são frequentemente utilizadas em composições paisagísticas do festival devido à sua facilidade de cultivo, resistência ao calor, diversidade cromática e capacidade de atrair insetos polinizadores. A sua estrutura floral característica, com pétalas dispostas em camadas concêntricas e um centro rico em estames amarelos, contribui para a polinização cruzada e biodiversidade. A sua durabilidade como flor de corte e a adaptação a solos bem drenados e exposição solar plena tornam-na uma escolha comum tanto em jardins domésticos como em projetos de educação ambiental.

 

Zinnia elegans, native to Mexico and a member of the Asteraceae family, was photographed at the Ponte de Lima International Garden Festival, an annual Portuguese event that aims to promote art in gardens and environmental awareness. This annual herbaceous plant stands out for its prolonged flowering from summer to autumn and for the variety of vibrant colors, attracting pollinators such as butterflies and bees. Zinnias are often used in the festival's landscape compositions due to their ease of cultivation, heat resistance, chromatic diversity and ability to attract pollinating insects. Its characteristic floral structure, with petals arranged in concentric layers and a center rich in yellow stamens, contributes to cross-pollination and biodiversity. Its durability as a cut flower and adaptation to well-drained soils and full sun exposure make it a common choice in both home gardens and environmental education projects.

May every landscape bring beauty to your lives; and may you always be aware of what, where, or who in your own life brings it color!

  

Happy Thanksgiving!

While many of these people wouldn't proclaim themselves artists, I like to refer visitors of my photostream to some awesome photos that exist in others'. Please visit my favorites from other flickr artists. These people are amazing, and most photos are of places like this.

Dawn is drab,

Since night’s dealings of daylight’s doubts

Left a murky, lead air to

Hold out the light,

Leaving sleepers dumb and wakers faint in a fog

But somewhere in a field, something’s eyes are

Awake.

Somewhere in a field, they

Wobble, glimmer, reflect from

All Angles.

Somewhere in a field something slept on Shards of Awareness,

Even when the rest went blunt

The Crespi Lacrosse team is walking around their home track on February 14th to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. My boyfriend Blake Gaytan who is on the team told me about their cause and I really think what they are doing is an amazing thing. I along with the Lacrosse team as well as many other participants am going to also walk for this cause. Since I know that all of you cannot be there to walk with us I would really love if you could visit the following website to get more information and pledge.

Dana Lam and the old guards reclaimed the stage.

It seems that Stockwell has decreed this to be Pan Am EMD Awareness Week, and who am I to argue?

 

Here we see NMED getting underway from CPF-Dunkin Donuts in Lowell. Oh, did I say CPF-Dunkin Donuts? I meant CPF-WA. Never mind the GEeez behind the curtain.

Sorry Tim, but the song parody is where I draw the line...though I have a few more photos cued up for the rest of the week.
