The never ending process of erosion, even of billion year old rocks is more than evident near St..John's, NL, Canada.
There is nothing the human spirit cannot overcome when there is hope. The smallest glimmer can light the path from out of the darkest shadows, we all need to help light that path for one another free from judgment and indifference. Never alone, never unheard and never forgotten. What was once in secret is now our story...to overcome, to heal, to thrive and to inspire others. From out of the darkness and ashes we RISE!!! 💛💛💛

"Still I Rise"
Each struggle is unique to you, but you are not alone.
We all deserve to be loved the right way, and for all the right reasons.
“Instead of saying, "I'm damaged, I'm broken, I have trust issues" say "I'm healing, I'm rediscovering myself, I'm starting over.”

More details about this campaign @ SL:One Billion Rising Campaign
It was half a billion years in the making, two ancient continents collide, and the Earth's inner soul, the mantle, shows itself.
We hiked this trail under darks clouds, ran between raindrops, and stood in awe of the barren red landscape as the clouds gently rolled over the mountains. It was an unforgettable experience and watching these two take it all in made my heart happy.

ONE BILLION RISING 2021: RISING GARDENS CAMPAIGN
1 in 3 women across the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. That’s ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS. Every February, we rise – in countries across the world – to show our local communities and the world what one billion looks like and shine a light on the rampant impunity and injustice that survivors most often face. We rise through dance to express joy and community and celebrate the fact that we have not been defeated by this violence. We rise to show we are determined to create a new kind of consciousness – one where violence will be resisted until it is unthinkable.
Thanks Millionaire of the opportunity of having my picture as cover for your awesome group. You are the best!!!
It is with great pleasure and humility that I participate in this campaign for such a necessary and present cause of our conscience and attention.
Violence is a monster that lives in all environments, in all social classes and respects nothing and no one. It is imperative that we open our eyes, look around and help those who suffer from this hell. It is imperative that we give our children fundamental values such as humility, empathy, solidarity, a sense of justice and, above all, respect for ourselves and others.
For all women who suffer violence, never forget ... It is your silence that dictates the strength of your abuser.
A huge thank you, Lawrence and Kess for this initiative.

But I firmy believe that there’s a crack where the light comes in and that crack gets wider with (y)our help ❣️

What does it even mean to be 1.5 billion years old? Carbon dating has confirmed the rocks at Cameron Falls to be Precambrian, at that age. To think of that much time is just mind blowing. Can you imagine finding some kind of fossilized life in the stones? How incredible would that be?!
OMG!!!!

Song: Bebe - Malo
The bushfires are still raging nationwide having started way back in June 2019.
There were 34 fatalities so far including firefighters who so bravely fought the fires so others could be safe and more than 6,500 properties destroyed and not to mentioned a billion animals had perished.
As of 14 January 2020, 18.626 million hectares (46.03 million acres) was burnt or is burning across all Australian states and territories. ... In comparison, the 2018 California wildfires consumed 800,000 hectares (2 million acres) and the 2019 Amazon rainforest wildfires burnt 900,000 hectares (2.2 million acres) of land.
Major cities were blanketed in smoke , schools were closed and sporting events cancelled. The smoke has travelled as far as Chile and Argentina.
Could all this be prevented? Did the authorities see this coming? Who is to be blamed? There is more questions than answers but the main issues have been hijacked and politicised so much so that facts and fallacies are all muddled up.
Suffer the animals, suffer those who are affected and kudos and tributes to those who fight the fires and perished so to keep the rest of us safe !

I've always found it very ironic that the one day in America designated for kindness and gratitude is also a day when the multitudes make a conscious choice to eat an animal when they don't have to.
It was my love of cats that made me decide to go vegetarian at 13 years old because I was taught to not discriminate against humans so why not apply the same to animals? How could I justify eating a pig, a turkey, a cow if I could never eat a cat or a dog? It made me question the way our society values some lives more than others and caused me to start thinking with a mind for social justice too. When systems say "It's ok to do this even when you feel this...." all you have to do is follow the money. Factory farming in this country in and of itself is a multi billion dollar industry that causes great harm to both animals and the environment. Why should we choose profit over the lives of animals as well as our own health?
There are so many stray cats in need of love and medical treatment. To me, it is like living in a city where you see people sleeping and begging on the street often. You feel like every dollar you give will never be enough. But, there's something to be said for when you are part of a vast world of great suffering and you help even one life.
This cat was found in a rescue orientated cat café and was actually provided with multiple medical treatments out of the pockets of the volunteers who worked there to keep it alive. One of the best cats I ever had, Buckley (named after Tim and Jeff), was a cat I adopted after a volunteer at the rescue agency paid over $2000 for a surgery, which I definitely would not have been able to afford at that time in my life. Buckley lived at least a decade in my arms and resembled this little guy. He would head butt me in bed and I'd lift up my blanket and he'd sleep and purr right beside me all night. When the time came for his life to end, I held him in my arms until his very last breath and I have no doubt he knew he was loved. All of this because someone said, "Yes, there is immeasurable suffering on this Earth but I can make a choice to make it less for this creature. "
Our choices matter.

This is dedicated to Betelgeuse. Rumour has it, it exploded and we'll see the evidence one day soon. Or not. In any event? This is for you, most strangely named star who might or might not be gone. Oh and also? Happy Gorgeous Green Thursday.
somewhat surprisingly, there was ten billion dollars worth of gold bullion in there. Time to buy a better camera!
Thank you so very much my sweet friend for this amazing group cover, honored you chose my foto for your group cover... hugs u super tight Millionaire xoxo
Check the wonderful group here
"Sometimes the cord likes to break
Sometimes the light tries to bend away
Sometimes you're thrust against the wall
Sometimes the world wants to see you crawl
And you can't decide if it's enough
You can't decide if it's enough
Six billion lives looking for love
You can't decide if it's enough
The end is the same for everyone
Should be enough for us to be as one
Watch me fall apart over you
Watch me fall apart
Tryna please you
And you can't decide if it's enough
You can't decide if it's enough
Six billion lives looking for love
And you can't decide if it's enough"
"Billions and billions of stars." That's how Carl Sagan characterized the visible universe. These billions with the Milky Way were photographed with the camera on a beanbag on a wall overlooking the Tarangire River plain in northwest Tanzania. Safaris demand that one travel light, and that usually means no tripod, especially when it's dangerous to go outside at night anyway. Leopards are about! So a guide with a rifle hung out while I was photographing. The lights on the ground are night safari drivers with their guests. ©2019 | John M. Hudson
Thank you for visiting - ❤ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, order beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.
Recently we passed by Mono Lake in California. The lake has iconic tufa towers. You can see the Milky Way - it was new moon, there is no light pollution.
The Milky Way is our galaxy. From the latest Hubble telescope observation we learned that there are at least 100 billion galaxies in the universe. We are just tiny tiny creatures in this vast space.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted the curves and color balance.

Dying is easy it's living that scares me to death, ooh, yeah
I could be so content hearing the sound of your breath, ooh, yeah
Cold is the colour of crystal the snowlight
That falls from the heavenly skies
Catch me and let me dive under
For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes
Billions and billions of stars. Well, maybe closer to 100 stick-on foil stars. They have been sitting in my desk drawer for many many years, but they now have an opportunity to shine. This idea came to me immediately upon reading the Stars theme for the week. I tried a few different POV, lighting, and background schemes and came up with a set of four photos that I like. Did I pick the STAR for Macro Mondays? HMM
