Starfishes exposed during low tide
They tend to bury themselves
On the watery sands of the beach
In Panglao Island, Philippines
Some left home so others wouldn't have to
Some helped so others could have home
Some made it back, some didn't
Some left the homeland behind
Some are left behind ... ...
The Recreation Center invited folks to bring an ornament and help decorate the holiday tree. It is a great way to bring folks together and feel part of the community.
This is one portion of one tree of many at the Rockport Rookery. The Great blue herons are all facing the setting sun except the one that just returned with some nest builind materials. There was lots of mating rituals, gift, and nest material presentation going on in the colony.
Part of a mural that caught my eye, while walking in the neighborhood--when I attended the Kwanza celebration at Weeksville Heritage Center.

Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven't time - and to see takes time,
like to have a friend takes time

Can you see him there, in the middle? Its a dog... :¬)
This is a very poor community (or Favela, in Portuguese) called Santa Marta, on the mount Dona Marta. For many years it was devastated by the violence caused by the organized crime, specially because of the drug traffic. I could never imagine myself entering there, but, since November 2008, its permanently occupied by the police and, since this date, the inhabitants are free of the violence. Them, I could walk all the place without problem (well, almost...), but, in general, was everything very well, even I'm being with a bit of fear...
In LARGE you will certainly find him.
Botafogo's District, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Have a nice day... :¬)
Brothel ruins at Montgomery Pass.
Located on US Highway 6, "the loneliest road" in Mineral County, Nevada. Before Interstate highways, US6 was busy.
This is not wedding related, but my daughter is taking a very special trip for the next two weeks - Community Camp!
I am grateful to those staff members who are taking time out of their lives to bring a little joy to the world - virtually and otherwise. ♥

This is the fourth piece in the series I am calling Community. This work is in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and continues my experiences in the seniors photography workshop where we are looking at the communities in which we live. We are working towards a group project of some sort that we are collectively trying to define. It is very interesting for me as I have not worked collaboratively in my art very much.

I have been attending a (seniors) photography workshop where we are looking at the communities in which we live. We are working towards a group project of some sort that we are collectively trying to define. It is very interesting for me as I have not worked collaboratively in my art very much.
Part of the progress is journaling as we try to individually place ourselves to experience new aspects of our neighbourhoods with the goal to tell a collective story on some level. It is interesting for me as I have mostly focused on the E+Ps of image making and have not initiated work with a any specific objectives in mind.
In the end I will not tell you what I see in this, what it means, that is for you to contribute. I will tell you that It does address many aspects of community I see around me in 2020 both good and bad.
Porch Party
Come sit with me and we’ll not be alone.
We’ll chill by the pool and forget about the phone.
Schoolchildren's art on display in the Tateishi Nakamise shopping arcade. Local shops and the shopping street association give prizes for kids' art, and some of the winners were on display when I visited.
To me, this photo shows the strong connection between local shopping streets and the community. They are one and the same, essentially. Gut one, you're going to end up gutting the other. This arcade is over sixty years old, and arguably needs to be rebuilt. Rebuilt--not replaced by something that will primarily serve the interests of entities outside the community, who have no vested interest in it, and see it only as a locus for extracting profit.
Something unusual - the finials on this metal fence each had a crocheted cover. I am guessing a community art project but lovely to see
