In the 1750s at his family seat in Buckinghamshire, Ralph Verney set out to create a country house of extraordinary grandeur that would dazzle his wealthy neighbours and outdo his political rivals. Claydon has been occupied by the Verney family for more than 550 years; the place is a testament to their fascinating fluctuating fortunes, from their close involvement in the English Civil War to the family connection with Florence Nightingale.
Macro Mondays "Connection"
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photos.
Morning photoart capture at Nth Stradbroke Island, Queensland, Australia.
This mini-series explores alon-ness, which is usually hard to attain in a society constantly on the move, time-poor, too busy, and always encouraging group-think and sharing. Subsequently, alon-ness often highlights the value of solitude.
Solitude enhances self-awareness, recollection, and connection to self. In addition, dependent on circumstances, to nature, as illustrated here at the beach with the beautiful ocean and cloudscape.
In turn, this informs one’s well-being and life integrity to get along at all times, despite the usual difficulties and challenges.
Hope you enjoy the first pic on this theme, best! Ardan.

We all live on planet Earth, connected with each other. Sometimes this connection is obvious, like family and friends, or being a member of the "Marco Mondays"-group ;-)
Sometimes it isn't clear at all and then there are still secrets to reveal ;-)
Also in nature there is a connection between plants and animals. Looking inside this black Petunia, you see the pistil and stamens trying to tempt insects to enter. You know the rest of that story ;-))
I like this lovely little universe and if you do too, we are also connected ;-)
Wishing you all a very Happy Macro Monday!
He wears specs; Yes, I wear specs
He wears a black coat; Yes, I wear a black coat
He has a beard; Yes, of course, I have a beard
We both have ordinary cameras - smartphones
We both aim at the same object - a set of unconnected lines
We both shoot at the same time - before our lunch time 😀
He's on the 2nd floor, but I'm on the 3rd
He looks at its bottom, but I look at its top
He holds the camera with both hands, but I hold my daughter with one hand 😀

The only certainty is that nothing is certain;
Little Red says: Stay calm, Stay strong, and Be kind.. We are all in this together.
Thank-you to all who take the time to comment on my photos, your words are greatly appreciated. <3

As 2022 draws to a close, I am looking forward to turning the page on this year, which has been a difficult one for me, and starting the new chapter that is 2023.
There are a few lines from a Josh Groban song called "Thankful", that I have always loved:
Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each others' light
For me, Flickr has become a beautiful place to find that light and that connection, especially in a world that seems to grow increasingly dark and troubled. So I want to share a deep and sincere Thank You to all my Flickr friends and contacts for the light you give and all the ways in which you uplift my spirit. Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity which both awe and inspire me, for sharing your beautiful places, special moments, and great adventures, for your thoughtful and generous support of my photography and writing, and most of all for your personal kindness, caring, and humanity. I truly enjoy all of the conversations, comments, and connection with each of you, and am incredibly thankful for your encouragement and good wishes through some of the tough times this year.
I am profoundly grateful to have met such wonderful people here on Flickr. Because in the words of the incomparable Maya Angelou in the poem below,
"Nobody, but nobody, Can make it out here alone.
I wish each of you health, happiness, and beautiful light (both in photography and life) in the new year ahead!
Alone
by Maya Angelou
Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
There are some millionaires
With money they can't use
Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They've got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone.
But nobody
No, nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
'Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
"The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all.
Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself."
Chief Seattle
life lessons from a puddle: it’s in our frayed, raw places that light shines through; vulnerability is a portal to connection, acceptance, and healing.
