Macro Mondays "Connection"
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photos.
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 😀

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.
Built in 1957, the Mackinac Bridge connects the Upper and Lower Michigan Peninsulas. It's an impressive structure.
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.

The blue connection
The construction of the blue connection began in 2012 and continued until 2020.
It is a special connection between the South Park in Rotterdam , the landscape Buijtenland in Rhoon and Zuidpolder in Barendrecht , South Holland , the Netherlands .
It is a complete recreational navigable route to and at the same time functions as an ecological connection between the green areas in and around Rotterdam . The blue connection, also ensures clean water that comes from the Oude Maas and serves as a climate buffer .
A grand project , which is something different than the mega buildings major cities normally construct.
The blue connection is a recreational route for people with their canoes , small rowing boats and electric little boats and also is an attractive place for swimmers and fishermen. The shorelines are made as naturally as possible.
The plant and animal life to flourish will come through this connection. It's a matter of time before we can identify the beaver. There already live rabbits , bats , songbirds and waterfowl in the area. In addition to the herons , we can also find the spoonbill and they even hope that the bittern returns. Highland cattle is grazing in the Koedood , which is also a part of this structure .
The Pendrechtse Mill is a true photographic attraction in the Southern Border Park , the part of the connection between Rotterdam and Barendrecht . This is mainly because the sunset and sunrise, during a few weeks each year , are behind the mill
Areas to enjoy , photograph and just that piece of nature that we need in our overpopulated country.
De blauwe verbinding
De aanleg van de blauwe verbinding startte in 2012 en was klaar in 2020.
Het is een bijzondere verbinding worden tussen het Zuiderpark in Rotterdam, het landschapspark het Buijtenland in Rhoon en de Zuidpolder in Barendrecht, in Zuid-Holland , Nederland.
Het is een compleet recreatieve bevaarbare route worden en tegelijkertijd fuctionert het als een ecologische verbinding tussen de verschillende groengebieden in en om Rotterdam. Ook zorgt de blauwe verbinding voor schoon water, wat afkomstig is van de Oude Maas en dient het als klimaatbuffer.
Een groots project, wat wel even iets anders is dan de megagebouwen die de grote steden normaliter neerzetten.
De blauwe verbinding , of aansluiting, wordt een vaarroute voor recreanten met hun kano’s, kleine roei- en elektrische motorbootjes. Ook is de verbinding een aantrekkelijke plek voor zwemmers en sportvissers. De oevers worden natuurlijk ingericht.
Het planten en dierenleven zal tot een grote bloei komen door deze verbinding. Het is een kwestie van tijd voordat we de bever kunnen signaleren. Er leven al konijnen, vleermuizen, zang- en watervogels in het gebied. Naast de reigers, kunnen we ook de lepelaar vinden en ze hopen zelfs dat de roerdomp terugkeert. Schotse Hooglanders grazen in de Koedood, wat ook een onderdeel van deze structuur is.
De Pendrechtse Molen is een ware fotografische attractie in het Zuidelijk Randpark, het deel van de verbinding wat tussen Rotterdam en Barendrecht ligt. Dit komt vooral omdat, gedurende enkele weken per jaar, de zonsondergang en zonsopkomst de molen prachtig tot zijn recht laten komen.
Gebieden om van te genieten, te fotograferen en net dat stuk natuur wat we in ons overbevolkte land nodig hebben.
If you like this photo, please just give a favorite (I have less time for answering, commenting)! Thank you!
