Relay For Life of Second Life Attention Magazine's June 22 Issue
"Live Tomorrow"
It's cold around me, the night is young
The sun has fallen
And I've become the lonely one
The moon is dancing among the clouds
And my knees are shaking
And my dreams are braking
But I know I live
But I know I live, today
I know we could live tomorrow
(live tomorrow)
But I know I live today
I know we could live tomorrow
But I don't think we should wait! No
I know we could live tomorrow
But I know I live today
I know we could live tomorrow
But I don't think we should wait! No
I know we could...
Taking my life in my hands!
(the power who has it?)
Taking my life in my hands!
(the power who has it?)
I don't like to wait! No, no...
It's happening, It's happening...
I don't like to wait! No, no...
It's happening...
I know we could live tomorrow
But I know I live today
I know we could live tomorrow
But I don't think we should wait! No
I know we could live tomorrow
But I know I live today
I know we could live tomorrow
But I don't think we should wait! No
I know we could live tomorrow
(live tomorrow)
But I know I live today
(I live today)
I know we could live tomorrow
(live tomorrow)
But I don't think we should wait! No
(I live today)
I know we could live tomorrow
(live tomorrow)
But I know I live today
I know we could live tomorrow
But I don't think we should wait! No

Relay For Life of Second Life Attention Magazine's June 22 Issue
I know may of you have in some way or the other felt Cancer close up, either had Cancer your self or know of somebody who is or has been fighting the battle of cancer. Even though some dont make it trough the battle, we must always remain hopeful that there is hope. That is why we have to keep up the work in finding ways to fight this disease, by awareness and research that can help fight the disease.
I am crying as I write this, because I am thinking of those I have lost in my RL as well as in SL. But I know that those I have lost would want me to stay positive and hopeful, and to love and live my life to the fullest each day, because we never know what tomorrow brings. I also want to dedicate this picture in memory of our dearest Beautiful Angel Amber who lost the fight against Cancer, she was the most positive, loving, caring and most uplifting person I have ever met in the virtual world of Second life, She will always be missed and never be forgotten, she will always be in our hearts, as well as to my dear Uncle who also passed away too soon, due to Cancer.
"Better Days"
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
But if you're feeling lost in the night
It's okay to cry
Just as long as you hold your head
'Cause we're on our way to better
Better's ahead, better's ahead
It get's worse 'fore it gets better
But better's ahead, better's ahead
Better days are comin' (Better and better and better, ooh-ooh)
Better days are comin' (Ooh-ooh, better days)
Better days, better days (Better and better and better, oh-ooh)
Better days are comin' (Better days, better days)
I know you've been kicked down
Slept on, let down, faith gone
Waited for too long for something to lean on (Lean on)
You feel weak, just be strong (Ooh)
Deep breath, stay calm
If you just press on, press on, press on
You gon' see there's a light at the end of the tunnel (At the end of the tunnel)
Keep your eyes on the road ahead (On the road ahead)
And if you're feelin' lost in the night (Lost in the night)
It's okay to cry (It's okay to cry)
Just as long as you hold your head
'Cause we're on our way to better (Aah)
Better's ahead, (Better) better's ahead (Aah)
It get's worse 'fore it gets better (Ah-ah-ah)
But better's ahead, better's ahead
Better days are comin' (Better and better and better, ooh-ooh, I know, I know)
Better days are comin' (Ooh-ooh)
(Better days, better days) (Better and better and better, ooh-ooh)
Better days are comin' (Ooh-ooh)
(Better days, better days)
I know you feel left out and stepped on
Keep goin', keep goin'
Shine bright, don't dim yours for no one
Keep goin' higher, and higher and higher and higher
(Because there's better)
Better days, better days are comin' (Better days)
Better days, better days (On their way) are comin' ('Cause I know)
Better days, better days (Better days) are comin' (Yeah)
Better days, (Oh) better days are comin' (I know)
Better days are comin'

Hope your're not all tired of wild flower fields by now ! Here is my contribution - a beautiful field of wild flowers, dominated by scarlet poppies, near Moulton College, Northampton. The field is owned by the college - so my map location is very 'approximate' indeed. This field is near Entrance 4 to Moulton College. Tony (Guy@Fawkes) and I visited there last Thursday, nearly a week ago now. My previous upload is of Tony in the field ... Tony's picture of the field itself is in my first comment box here.
Thank you so much ~ **Barbara ** ~ for telling us how to get there and making our day !

My contribution for this weeks #sundayslider. Early morning view of Lake Leelanau in Michigan with the most wonderful reeds poking through the misty waters. #hss #sundaysliders
This is my contribution to demonstrating against any kind of censoring art.
Originally it had "censored" writen on it, but I like it better this way.
No rubber ducks were harmed in the making of this picture and .. uhm well, the squid was deep-frozen when I bought it.
The Flickr community really shows its capability of protesting in creative ways. Thanks everyone for supporting this!
My humble contribution for the "The Journey" Exhibition currently in the Galerie des Beaux-Arts
You have to visit and contemplate the art pieces made by a group of very talented Photographers/Artists.
We all live in a world, where life is treated as a race and not as a journey.
LIFE IS NOT A RACE
Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going.
Life is a journey to be savoured each step of the way
My contribution of a hovering Kingfisher at Lackford Lakes... The hide was crowded with awesome fellow togs who have captured and posted some amazing hover shots over the last week of welcomed record breaking winter sunshine. I thank you kindly for you comments and support. Take care

My contribution to Photo Sunday's theme light.
A lovely chilly day with sunshine, frost on the ground and nice air to breathe.
My contribution to Photo Sunday with the theme of prints.
I think the tree's image against the sky fits the theme.
Mitt bidrag till Fotosöndag med temat avtryck.
Trädets avbildning mot himlen tycker jag passar till temat.
My contribution to the theme autumn feeling @fotosondag.
With a little imagination, the leaf can become an enchanted frog with a tail
My contribution to Colorful Nature with the theme red Monday.
Red is sweet is a sentence from a Swedish children's rhyme about colors. red is sweet, green is nice etc
My contribution to Photo Sunday with the theme heart matter. When I inhale the fragrance of the flowers, my heart and mind lift to greater heights.
My contribution to the springtime cuteness fest that's broken out across the flickr wildlife groups ;-)
macro mondays contribution.
One of quite a few taken for this week's theme so still trying to decide, it will be one of those occasions I decide on the bus in to work!
Done!!
I keep reliving MM challenges, this week sweet spot and inspired by a song!
contribution to MM challenge for 12/10/20, theme: Translucent
a long over due return to what I like photographing most. really really need to shoot more

Contribution to MM challenge for 4/3/18, theme "Jewelry".
Slightly tricky challenge due to the number of times I've used jewellery in the past, not least as my Flickr avatar, but not helped by the fact my partner and I are living 200 miles apart at the moment so I can't raid her jewellery!! And I've already used my mother's wedding ring
This is all mine though and is one of those things that is never taken off. The star I bought on a school trip to France in the early 80s and the necklace it's attached to my sister bought me for my 18th. It's a while now to be wearing the same 2 chunks of metal around my neck!!
Labor Day is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. It is the Monday of the long weekend known as Labor Day Weekend.
Have a nice Holiday.
Contribution to MM challenge for 6/7/20, theme: "Squared Circle"
None of the pictures I took quite delivered what I was looking for within the frame. I was tempted to change lens (I use this 105mm 99.99% of the time but also have a 60mm to get a wider field of view and greater DoF) but didn't. So the round thing is very much the centre of attention.
This was a good challenge though (the sort I like). Came up with an idea immediately but then more options came to mind. From what I've seen of the pool so far there are a great many out there that I hadn't even thought of too so this might be (another) one to revisit at some point. For the one person who might be reading this who actually knows me personally - yep, you know how likely that is!!
My contribution to this weeks theme "less than an inch" to the group Macro Mondays. Do you see what it is?
his contribution....his favorite purple vase and our feather duster he plopped in it.

contribution to MM challenge for 13/7/20, theme: Spiral
Quite possibly not technically spirals - but they might be!
Llenroc is a Gothic revival house constructed for Ezra Cornell just below the campus of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, United States. It now houses the Cornell chapter of the Delta Phi fraternity.
Llenroc was built for Ezra Cornell between 1865 and 1875. It is a fine and well preserved example of masonry Gothic Revival architecture.
The house is constructed of "Llenroc limestone", a name used for the limestone quarried as building material taken from west of Libe Slope. Artisans from around the world created the many elaborate fixtures of the house including: English woodcarvers responsible for the carved interior molding on the first and second floor and stonemasons from Germany completed the exterior stonework. Irish, Scottish, Italian, and Indian craftsmen also made significant contributions. Eight complete marble fireplaces were also imported from Europe to be plac 242
contribution to MM challenge for 3/2/20 - theme: "The Odd One"
The subject matter doesn't (or shouldn't!) need any explanation other than these are some of my partner's hobby tools.
The title is a direct take from the 70s sitcom featuring one of the best characters of all time - Arnold. That said I have no idea if it has stood the test of time, but he certainly was an odd one!
My contribution to this weeks #sundaysliders #hss #sliderssunday. A young lion cub showing some teeth. The next generation of hunters. Cropped heavily and lots of additional saturation, clarity and contrast.
Lions have three types of teeth: Incisors, the smallest teeth at the front of the mouth, are used for gripping and tearing meat. Canines, the four largest teeth (either side of the incisors), can reach up to 7 centimetres in length. What size is a lion cub? Mothers give birth to up to 6 cubs at a time but litters of 2 or 3 are more common.
MM contribution for 25/3/18, theme: "Hot or Cold"
Again I'm not a massive fan of themes with such a large scope as I find them difficult to narrow down. In fact talking to my partner about what I was doing she came with with about another 20 suggestions!!
What this did give me though was the opportunity to try out quite a few things. I fell foul of living at both ends of the country again because my zippo isn't 'here'!
So to catch a match just as it catches. Easy (really???). And I didn't even get through a whole box! Apparently they burn at around 800c - I think that qualifies as hot?!. And have a light temp of around 1500K which leads on to...
...strobist bit: 1 SB900 set to manual at 1/20, positioned to the left and firing toward the background. Using dark amber gel with WB set to tungston.
contribution to Macro Mondays theme for 24/04/17 of "intentional blur"
the effect here is created with flash (slow rear sync for anyone interested and it was entirely experimental on my part!). ironically the shutter speed used is faster than most of my other contributions to the MM group!
my contribution to the thousands of shots of the Hohenzollern castle, all shot from the same vantage point...
contribution to Macro Mondays group for 26/06/17 the theme being "Broken"
I'm away for a few days so may not see many contributions so HMM to one and all!!
I found this challenge hard, not because I couldn't think what to do but because the choice was too big and I think I've ended up being a bit cliche.
