“But many of us seek community
solely to escape the fear of being alone.
Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving.
When we can be alone, we can be with others
without using them as a means of escape.”
― Bell Hooks
Although I did a tiny bit of "tweaking" in PS, I was really quite surprised to see all the different coloured bokeh I was able to get with this series of spring blossoms.

Sunlight squeezes through the bell tower on an old rural church. Rays radiate through the opening. A gravel road shoots across the the scene, electric poles follow. A few clouds linger in the sky.

Cochin (Inde) - Nous sommes dans le bâtiment collectif de la communauté Dhobi-Wallah. C'est une salle multifonctions. On y sèche le linge lorsqu'il pleut, mais c'est surtout la salle de repassage.
Malgré la présence de l'électricité, les repasseuses préfèrent utiliser leurs vieux fer à alimentés par des braises brûlantes. S'il est plus lourd que le fer électrique (modèle années 1950 tout de même), selon cette dame, l'antique fer à braises offre une qualité de travail incomparable.
Ironing room
Cochin (India) - We are in the collective building of the Dhobi-Wallah community. It is a multifunction room. Laundry is dried there when it rains, but it is especially the ironing room.
Despite the presence of electricity, ironers prefer to use their old irons powered by hot embers. If they are very heavy compared to electric irons, according to this lady, the antique charcoal iron offers an incomparable quality of work.
A thriving group of Common Bonnets (Mycena galericulata) covered a thick fallen tree branch all over. This is a widespread species of fungi belonging to a big Mycena family. The genus name “Mycena” originates from the ancient Greek work” mykes” meaning “fungus”. The scientific epithet “galericulata” comes from the Latin word ‘galer’ which is be translated as ‘helmet’ or ‘hat’. If you compare its small cap with the length of the stem it sits on – it is indeed an elegant ‘fungus with a small hat’. Their appearance also reflected in other names like the ‘helmeted high-stool’, the ‘togue mycena’, and the ‘rosy-gill fairy helmet’. A rosy colour refers to the tint of the gills these fungi could develop when aged. Beechwood fungi. Lansdown near Bath, BANES, Somerset, England UK.

Well, Part of it anyway. A Nuthatch with a Oregon Junco in the backround. Actually I had Chickadees, Nuthatches, Juncos and Finches in that tree all at once.
Not as dramatic as the stag pictures taken at the same time, and yet there is something about this shot, that very much leans me towards favouring it, over all the others

My plant ID app says this is an elegant zinnia, but I'm not sure. It's in a raised bed in the education garden at Lexington Community Farm.
This abandoned place was an old community school. The road is used by locals and tourists, it's an undiscovered beauty route to travel through. Nowadays there is a discussion who would be responsible, however I look forward to be restore and give an worthy use.
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.

Have a nice day... :¬)
"Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up."
........Robert Frost
This fence is part of an historical community garden, which in turn is part of a larger heritage precinct in the little town of Penola, South Australia which lies in the heart of the famous wine area of Coonawarra.
I doubt it serves a lot of practical purpose now - except for looking gorgeous and being a prop for photographers. Its a wonderful tribute to the community who maintain and preserve these historical treasures. HFF
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.
