"She got blood cold as ice
And a heart made of stone
But she keeps me alive
She's the beast down on my bones
She gets everything she wants
When she gets me alone
Like it's nothin'
She got two little horns
And they get me a little bit"

DUE TO A FAMILY COMMITMENT
HOPEFULLY BACK TO NORMAL - JUN 18th
You have no engagements, commitments, obligations, or duties; no special ambitions and only the smallest, least complicated of wants; you exist in a tranquil tedium, serenely beyond the reach of exasperation, “far removed from the seats of strife,” as the early explorer and botanist William Bartram put it. All that is required of you is a willingness to trudge.
There is no point in hurrying because you are not actually going anywhere. However far or long you plod, you are always in the same place: in the woods. It’s where you were yesterday, where you will be tomorrow. The woods is one boundless singularity. Every bend in the path presents a prospect indistinguishable from every other, every glimpse into the trees the same tangled mass. For all you know, your route could describe a very large, pointless circle. In a way, it would hardly matter.
-- Bill Bryson
If you see a married couple still in love through the
years, you may think how lucky they are.
But in marital relations, there is no such thing as
luck.
They made many compromises, they overlooked each others faults.
They forgave many mistakes, and endured many problems.
They spent years learning to understand one another.
Love has never been a matter of luck, its a mutual giving
compromise, shared dreams, care, respect, mercy and patience.
*Thank you Adrian for sticking with this bag of bones for decades....I love the new home, I love the beautiful gardens you masterfully set down, and I love you.
*No landmark, taken at our new beautiful home!

Autumn in the Jardin de Luxembourg
This is again an attempt to photograph people and daily life in Paris in a way that keep the anonymity of the person. I will post soon some examples where people are recognizable. Here I was fascinated by the light on the chairs and his way of raking the leaves
2024 was one of the hardest years of my life.
I learned so much about myself - strengths and weaknesses.
I broke myself repeatedly to form a more solid me.
I sacrificed true love on an altar of commitment.
I watched generations wither and stepped into the gap.
I gained beautiful flowers in my garden of friends.
I froze in the face of trial and closed within myself.
I created from the depths of my agony.
I screamed in silence for dreams unfulfilled.
I stepped up and made the choice - God over everything else.
I struggled out of the pit of surviving.
I don't know what 2025 holds.
But I know there will be continued pain... continued longing...continued moments of falling and picking myself back up. Moments of showing up for myself in solitude. Moments of nostalgia... and memory... that crush the air from my very chest.
And likely...Grief.
But through it all...
I will continue to persevere as best I can.
I will continue to cry out to God in my confusion and gain clarity.
I will continue to soak up the sun and dance in the rain.
I will continue to find small joys in the birds song.
I will continue to breathe in and out.
I will continue to believe.
I will continue to live.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11
Forever is composed of Nows
Tis not a different time
Except for Infiniteness
And Latitude of Home

I normally take the months of June, July and most of August off due to summer commitments and other (golf) obligations! :)
Once in a while there is a moment when you just have to dust off the camera and capture the moment! Hope you all are having a "good" summer!

For Fence Friday is this lovely rock wall fence beside the pond in the Treasury Gardens that remembers Ambulance Victoria personnel who "died in the service of others. Your unconditional care and commitment to the community will be remembered always"
The humanly side of photography contains at least three elements:
subjectivity
creativity
human initiative
If you going to purchase a camera and lenses you should try to be a photographer; however, for some (photographers?) laziness replaces human initiative.
The first outing in my book "Ridgewalks in the Canadian Rockies, second edition” describes a long but rewarding day in Waterton Lakes National Park taking in Vimy Peak and Vimy Ridge to its east. This image from the townsite shows whitecaps on Upper Waterton Lake, an indication of typically windy Waterton weather, and the summit of Vimy Peak. The trip I describe takes trail and a bit of scrambling that lead to the top from behind the ridge to the left. Vimy Ridge lies directly behind the high point.
As mentioned, it’s a big commitment — involving some 35 km total distance and over 1000 metres of elevation gain and loss. If you have lots of energy and a long summer day, it’s well worth checking out.

The Angel of the North is on the way to my daughter's house and so I pass it regularly. Even though it's a photogenic structure, I do feel it's a bit of a cheat to use it for my daily picture. A complete betrayal of my commitment to grit, grime and grey.
Family commitments have kept me away from photography (and Flickr) for most of the year and I am not sure that this will ease off . . .
I photographed this DLR Tunnel from a moving train one night after visiting my sister (she lives on the DLR route).

An early morning shot taken at Draycott Sleights.
Its been a while since I've been out with the camera, mainly due to work commitments, however last night I went into Bristol with my daughter Jenny, chasing sheep and whale spotting and then this morning up early to hopefully photograph butterflies in dew. It wasn't quite cool enough for a heavy dew, although there is some dew on this skipper you do have to look quite hard to see it.
Best viewed very large.

Dedicated Laysan albatross mates alternate parental duties taking turns sitting on the nest and foraging for food. Tending the nest can mean a commitment of up to two weeks or more before swapping duties and heading out to sea to feed. This Laysan albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis) nest site was in the shade of a naio shrub on the sand dunes of Ka’ena Point.
This farmer stood there for hours, on the side of the highway, braving dust and pollution, to offer free food and sweets to the passing traffic.
I salute him !
15/06/2011Coca-Cola is marking its milestone 125th anniversary with a fabulous 1950’s-style pop- up soda bar in Selfridges, London, for a limited run of six weeks from Friday 17th June. Positioned in the women’s street department on the ground floor, the soda bar pays homage to Coke’s first ever soda bar, established in Selfridges back in 1926. The Soda Bar will be manned by 50’s styled waitresses, who will be serving perfectly chilled Coca-Cola in beautiful limited edition ‘Hutchinson’ bottles, specially re-created to mark the company’s 125th anniversary. Situated in the busy women’s fashion department, the soda bar will provide the perfect opportunity to stop and enjoy a cool refreshing drink after a hard day’s shopping. The Hutchinson bottle, first created in 1899 is available at Selfridges to buy exclusively alongside a collection of heritage bottles inspired by different shaped Coca-Cola bottles during the brand’s 125-year history. Tanya McMullen, Grocery Buying Manager, Selfridges comments "Like Selfridges, Coca-Cola has a lasting heritage and it is exciting to be able to offer a contrast to the limited edition bottles of more recent years with a celebration of the original designs. The soda bar gives Coca-Cola the opportunity to showcase one of the brand's most celebrated eras, as well as provide some theatre for our customers." Zoe Howorth, Market Activation Director for Coca-Cola Great Britain, explains: “2011 is an incredibly significant milestone for Coca-Cola, as we’re celebrating 125 years of happiness in a bottle. The 1950s, pop-up Soda Bar at Selfridges is a great way for us to thank our drinkers and partners, who have made Coca-Cola the iconic brand it is today in Great Britain.” The Soda Bar will land in Selfridges on Friday 17th June and will remain in store for 6 weeks.- ‘From Pop Star, to Pop Bar, Myleene Klass launches Coca-Cola Soda Bar at Selfridges to mark the brand's 125th Anniversary. The 1950’s-style pop-up soda bar will be in the 'Spirit' fashion department of Selfridges, London, for a limited run of six weeks from Friday 17th June.’ - ENDS - For further information please contact:Gemma Bell at Lexis PR on 020 7908 6517 gbell@lexispr.comStacey Pinkus 020 7908 6502 spinkus@lexispr.com Notes for EditorsThe Coca-Cola story began on 8 May 1886 when a pharmacist named Dr. John Pemberton carried a jug of Coca-Cola syrup to Jacobs' Pharmacy in downtown Atlanta, where it was mixed with carbonated water and sold for five cents a glass. To this day, the secret formula remains a closely guarded secret within the vaults of Atlanta. From these humble beginnings in the Deep South 125 years ago, the brand remains as relevant today as it was then - Coca-Cola has grown into one of the world’s most recognisable brands, loved by consumers and celebrities alike.The Coca-Cola CompanyCoca-Cola is a registered trademark of The Coca-Cola Company.The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) is the world’s largest beverage company, refreshing consumers with more than 500 sparkling and still brands.

I spent a couple of days in Nottingham this week due to a combination of family commitments and trying to cheer up an old buddy who's currently not quite as mobile as he'd like to be. Anyhow a more than pleasant day was spent revisiting the spots of my youth trying to secure a few pics and hopefully avoiding some of the mistakes I made 40 odd years ago.
This shot catches Freightliner Shed 66556 restarting from just south of Toton Yard and passing the level crossing on Station Road, Long Eaton that once served the station of the same name - that is before it was closed in January 1967 and the station formerly known as Sawley Junction became the "new" Long Eaton station.
The old LMS footbridge is still in situ, and surprisingly being given a repaint which suggests it's going to be around for a while yet, despite the open-lattice face which isn't exactly flavour of the month with Network Rail. The old station used to lie beyond the footbridge although pretty well all signs of it have now been obliterated and it would be hard to tell one previously existed.
Interestingly enough the Shed, working the 12.13 Leeds FLT - Southampton FLT (4O95), had been snapped not too many minutes earlier at Sandiacre just to the north of Toton Yard. The train typically has to wait time before threading the busy complex of lines around Trent Junction and, due to its length, is stopped a mile or so away to avoid fouling the two busy road crossings in Long Eaton. We were able to use this to our advantage and secure the two shots which, given freight was thin on the Erewash Valley that day, was helpful.
Quite a nice cloud formation here so I put on the 16-35 lens and went as wide as it would go - the lady wasn't trying to hide but rather manage her hair that was blowing in the sudden gust of wind - thankfully not a problem I had to deal with.
