Now it was Rollo's turn to become embarrassed.
"But I have nothing for you," he said quietly and bowed his head.
"Silly you! You have already given me two greatest presents I could ever get: your precious friendship and my creativity and therefore I will always cherish and love you. Before I leave, can I hold you?" Manna ventured to ask.
"You not only can. You must", he answered and they embraced each other, while December's silent dusk fell and surrounded them.

I want to thank to everyone who were patient enough to follow this story- I know it's been quite a marathon, as I started this story over a month ago by accident.
There are also lots of language mistakes all along the way and I'm aware that I started this story in present but at some point I changed it in past tense, which is more natural and fits better. I will change those present- texts to past tense at some point.
Finally-- I want to dedicate this tale to all of us, who by different reasons sometimes loose our inspiration, that shining star of ours which we are meant to follow.
43 years old and still got to stand in the corner, naughty sissy boy!!! Maybe the following spanking will help him.
Grabbing a quick break at the park only to discover that my skirt is on the wrong way. In a hurry, not paying attention to wear the tag goes. I didn't notice this until I got home. Oh well, hopefully, nobody noticed this...How embarrassing!!!
I should be embarrassed to share this shot—my camera (or I) glitched—but I think it’s still pretty in a weird way.

Blushing and socially awkward, peppers are quite intelligent, but extremely shy, rarely speaking to humans. Please do not stare at them, that stuns their nervous systems, inducing short term paralysis. Occasionally, peppers morf into extroverts, hot and spicy; walking the walk, and talking the talk. You can eat them but they resent it, and would prefer otherwise.
You won’t see too many lingerie shots from me as I am quite embarrassed about my weight. But I couldn’t resist showing this beautiful bra I bought yesterday. Was SO nice taking a range of bras into the change room to try on. Ended up with a D cup for those interested.
This is almost embarrassing due to the messy-ness and "unprofessional" quality of the layout, yet because it was going to be a "night shot" I knew it would all work out. Experience has taught me to focus on the important points of each photo while the rest of the set will automatically take care of itself [most of the time].
After all of these years, it's funny to note that the learning curve is still happening. Hey, it keeps you honest and on your toes.
I just wanted to share what goes on behind the scenes.
By the way, you might be able to spot Robby the Robot in the scene. It didn't work out in the final shot, but if it did, it could have
presented a very different
story line.
Here is the completed shot:

Actually, the lady on the rear right with a pointy hat, Lyla, was one of my parent's coolest friends. She was a bit of a nonconformist. I remember that she was a BLAST at parties after a few drinks!
Can you imagine how embarrassing it is to go out to a fancy event in a gorgeous dress and then see your sister there wearing a dress just like yours? If that isn't embarrassing enough, there were so many cameras there to capture this awkward moment.
I am embarrassed to say I didn't remember Jeep having any pickup trucks. After looking it up I think this one was made in the 1950's because of the small rear window, truck bed shape and fenders.

I've been locked up in my room for a while now. Ever since my mother's death, I haven't had the energy to go anywhere. Nothing has helped to quell this pain in my stomach. Tamara has tried to cheer me up, and that didn't work. Music didn't help me either. So I've just sat here, and thought a lot. Thought about if I really deserve this second chance on Earth. To play the hero. All of it.. We stopped Assassin, and most recently Stinger, but is that enough? I didn't even get revenge on that psycho who killed my mother.. I can't even do that now even if I wanted to, as the Stinger got murdered in his cell earlier this week. I wanted him to suffer in prison for the rest of his life, but that didn't happen. They say that it was a guard, but I have a feeling that Pirate is behind this somehow. I hear a knock on my bedroom door as I sit up on my bed.
Chris: "Who is it??"
Tamara: "It's me, Tamara. You haven't been out for weeks.. C'mon Chris, you got to come out of that room sometime. Come with me and dad to the bank, please.. I miss hanging out with my bro."
Chris: "Even if I wasn't in here, you've been too busy with shifts at the diner."
Tamara: "Yeah well I've had to pick up some of the slack since you know.."
Chris: "Yeah... I know."
Tamara: "I even made some new friends there! I think you would like Lucy. She has a heart of gold."
Chris: "Trying to play matchmaker now sis? Woww.."
Tamara: "Oh I'm sorry, but it's not like you're doing yourself any favours. Anyways, would you please go with us? Please!!!!"
Chris: "Ugh, fine.. I'll be out in a few minutes."
Tamara: "Yay!! I'll go let dad know." I hear her footsteps getting quieter as she walks downstairs.. I put a shirt and jeans on, and walk downstairs. When I reach the last step, I stumble a bit, but I'm able to catch myself. That would've been embarrassing I mutter to myself as I head towards the refrigerator. As I open the door, I see there isn't much milk left in the jug. I grab it, take the lid off, and chug whats left.
Tamara: "Seriously?" I hear Tamara ask, as I finish the last drops.
Chris: "What? There wasn't much left anyway!"
Tamara: "Doesn't mean you drink straight from the jug! You ready to go? We're heading out soon.."
Chris: "Yea yea, I'm good." Not really of course. I still have morning breath, and I smell bad. I speed over to the bathroom, so I can gargle some mouthwash, and put on some deodorant. Not ideal, but it'll do. Oh right, forgot about the fridge door. After I finish cleaning up some, I close the fridge door, and head out to the car. We all hop inside, and drive. On the way there, my father and sister make small talk.. I'm not really sure what it was about cause I zoned out looking out of the car window. A few minutes later we arrive at Sky High Financial Group. We get out of the car, and walk into the bank. Once inside, I look around, and see the symbolic cloud with Sky High Financial Group in big font. I notice that the song Into You by Ariana Grande is playing in the background as I walk in. That songs my jam! I groove out a bit, but then I notice my father is already at the teller. Oh whoops, good one Chris. Trying to catch up to my father, I speed-walk. As I'm about to reach the teller, I hear a gunshot go off.
Tamara: "What was that?" As she's talking, I see 5 people dressed in black come from the entrance..
Robber #1: "This is a robbery!! All valuables and cash go into these bags that my associates have.." Oh great, just what I needed today.. Civilians start putting their valuables into the bag
Robber #1: "That would be NOW!!!" He yells at a blonde girl, who looks around my age. I look at her piercing blue eyes, and she looks at me, so scared for her life.
Chris: "Leave her alone!"
Robber #2: "Oh, you wanna play hero now, is that it? Well don't come any closer, or else I'll blow her brains out!!" the second robber says as he walks up to the girl and puts his gun to her head. One wrong move here, and she's dead.. Crap, I don't even have my costume on me.. Think fast Chris, think fast.. One of the others, that I'm gonna call Robber 3 whispers something to the reckless number 2. I focus my hearing to hear them.
Robber #3: "This wasn't part of the plan Landon! We had a plan, a simple plan, but a plan, and somehow, you've found a way to screw it up!" The voice sounds feminine.
Landon: "Oh relax Alexa, it's not like I've hurt anyone yet.."
I take that opportunity to fire off heat vision at this Landon's hand that's holding the gun. He screeches in pain, and drops the gun. In that moment, I sprint over, and punch him in the gut. Robber 3 has a look of shock on her face as she sees Landon go flying into the wall, with the impact of him hitting the wall knocking him out.
Robber #1: "Whaa-What the heck? One of those meta freaks? Here? Crap!!" He says as he freaks out. He shoots at some of the civilians, with one bullet heading my way. I catch it in mid-air, and try to jump in the way of the other ones. But it's too late, as one pierces through a man's hip, and another went through the shoulder of an elderly woman. Seeing this, the robber runs for it, but it's no good, as I hear sirens outside the building.
My father goes to help the wounded, and Tamara takes care of the other two robbers that are on the other side of the room. She does it with ease, with a smile on her face. Three down, two to go. I grab the robber named Alexa, and go towards the robber that tried to get away. I drop her beside him.
Chris: "I suggest you surrender now."
Alexa: "Ok ok, I give in.."
Robber #1: "I can't go back, I can't do it. Prison is hell. Curse you, meta scum." He yells at me, as he unloads the rest of his clip into me. The bullets drop down to the floor, and he faints, most likely due to shock.
Alexa "You win this time, Superboy. That is your name right? I've watched the news.. So strong, and powerful.. Maybe I chose the wrong side here. May our next encounter be even hotter than today. I look forward to our relationship blossoming further Superboy." She blows me a kiss, as I open the door to let the police take them away.
I walk up to the girl I saved beforehand, to make sure she's ok. I notice the wounded civilians get taken out of the building, and put into ambulances.
Superboy: "You ok?"
Girl: "Yeah, I'm good. Thanks to you that is."She leans in and kisses me right on the lips. I step back, with a look of surprise on my face.
Superboy: "Wha-What was that for?" I say, as my cheeks start to redden.
Girl: "You saved my life.. Without your bravery, I would've probably died."
Superboy: "It was nothing, really. Right place, right time kinda thing ya know?"
Girl: "You're a hero, and for that, I figured you deserve a heroes reward."
Superboy: "Well I guess I have to save beautiful girls more often..." I say with a grin on my face.
Girl: "Haha maybe. What's your name, hero boy?"
Superboy: "Chris.. Chris Danvers." I say nervously.
Girl: "Nice to meet you Chris!"
Superboy: "Nice to meet ya too... I'm sorry, what's your name?"
Girl: "Alicia.. Alicia Baker"

So, this issue is my longest issue to date. Sorry in advanced. It was necessary for setup. Hope you liked the issue, as I liked writing it. :)
Shot in September 1989 with a Contax 137MA + Carl Zeiss Planar 1,4/50mm in a Kodachrome 200ASA. Years later the photo digitized with a Canon Pixma 4200F scanner.
It's very difficult to get work done when assholes are trying to tear your country down. I am on a deadline that I have very little chance of meeting but am also being distracted because racist, wannabe fascists have stormed the Capitol building. I'm angry, I'm frustrated, I'm saddened, I'm wishing I was shocked but I'm not. Most of all, I'm embarrassed. The people who are making this happen are also the same people that spout off about American Exceptionalism. We aren't exceptional. Certainly not anymore at least. This is not exceptional, this is pathetic.
There is a lot of work to do and deadlines are looming.
MacroMondays: Embarrassed...
A day in the life of yours truly back in elementary school :/ Unfortunately for me I would find notes like this on my back or backpack.... Sometimes after being kicked once or twice only to realize the great kick me sign...

I'm a little embarrassed, this is certainly one of Norway's most photographed stones. But I liked how the sea broke over it and now I have a photograph of it.
Mølen is Norway's largest beach of rolling stones, and is a part of Vestfoldraet: the terrain left behind after the end of the most recent Ice age around 10,000 years ago.
Mølen - nature, culture, geology and bird life, all in the same place. The wind and sea have lashed the landscape of Mølen for thousands of years, and the place takes its name from the Old Norse word "mol", meaning a stone mound or bank of stones.
Cultural history
The cultural landscape of Mølen, with its total of 230 cairns, is one of the most majestic in Norway. The area has 16 large cairns, many up to 35 m in diameter, with almost 200 small cairns in rows parallel to the shoreline. In one of the cairns, burnt stones were found; this could be the result of a cremation dating back to the 5th century A.D. The small cairns may symbolise warriors who fell in battle or were shipwrecked together with their captains.
Geology
Traces of volcanic activity. On Salstein, a southerly headland with a beach composed almost entirely of pebbles, we find rare traces of the so called Brunlane volcano. The volcano itself ceased to be part of the landscape a long time ago, but the dark types of rock on Saltstein are remnants of a defunct and deeply eroded shield volcano. Relics have also been found on Oddane and also on the skerries between Oddane, as well as to the south.
Lava, volcanic ash and corridors
The long headland of Saltstein comprises alternating layers of lava and volcanic ash. The lava is in the form of dark types of rock with white flecks. The white flecks were originally gas-filled bubbles. Volcanic ash can be seen in layers between individual layers of lava; it is often very stratified and green or brownish in colour. The ash resulted from volcanic eruptions. In the far west of Saltstein, there is an approximately 4 m thick layer of fragments of rock of various sizes. This layer was created in a massive volcanic eruption. Molten basal and rhomb porphyry forced its way up through the volcano after the lava had overflowed. Today, we can see these molten substances as east-west corridors on Saltstein. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%c3%b8len
Life is full of its little ironies. This is a photo of a little tree frog with a mosquito feeding on its head. For perspective, the tree frog is about the size of my thumb. If the mosquito were in front of the tree frog, it would be it next meal. Now, the roles are reversed. ;) I found this shot in an archived file. Although it is not very sharp, it is something you do not see very often. The photo was taken in July 2016, with my trusty digital camera.
A student on a tour bends down to take notes and reminds everyone in the room of the fatal flaw in low-rise jeans.
So I am embarrassed that I didn't upload an image for my 365 yesterday. It was raining outside and I had put HDR as my theme for week one and didn't know what I wanted to photograph inside the house for HDR. So I thought about it all day and came up with what I thought were good ideas. But when I viewed them on the computer I really was not happy at all.
I am not the type of person that can upload something I am not happy with. I guess the mentality of a person that is serious about a 365 project is willing to upload something everyday, even if they are not too happy about their image. I just can't bring myself to do something like that. Up until recently my uploads were not very frequent due to being way to picky. I am not saying I am great or anything, but I at least need to be willing to stand behind my image and I don't think I will be able to do that for a 365 project. Maybe when I get more experience and knowledge I can try again. I will do my best to upload images on a regular basis.
This image is an hdr image comprised of three 30 second exposures. I applied a lot of dodging and burning.
Thanks for looking.
