Took this shot on one of the participants right before the start of the parade. Everyone was in their own little corners, resting, fixing and applying makeup and props. Perfect time to go near and ask permission to take their pictures.
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse...

well there's not a lot for you to give,
if you're giving in,
and there's not a lot for you to feel,
if you're not feeling it..

"The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is always about people." Cesar Chavez
The lettuce was about three times bigger when I started but I did a poor job of fixing it to the stand so it fell down and disintegrated in a way you would not think possible....it just went to pieces :)) so I taped the usable bits back together and fixed it to the lightstand again and quickly did some shots ...phew - very dramatic lettuce photo session

Cusco was once the capital of the Inca empire and now is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, convenient to nearby archaeological ruins. It’s a great place to photograph old Spanish colonial architecture, grab a tasty local lunch or spend the night in a historic hotel. We enjoyed all three! Texture by SkeletalMess.

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Today I did some cleaning and prepping for my room to be painted and for my new wood floors to be placed in. I'm so excited! I love redecorating and my room is over-do for a makeover. I also started on my summer homework and went to the library to check out some summer reading novels.
Hope you had a wonderful Wednesday<3
ps. Sorry for doing this pose so much. I think it is my comfort pose- I just always resort back to it.
Enjoying the sunshine and hoping to get a 'clicker fix' I got a full shot of this adorable skunk that wasn't lying in the middle of the road but was enjoying the sunshine also.
I have to admit that when I got out of the car it must have startled him/her, it raised it's tail, turned around, and sprayed. It was too far away and the wind was blowing away from me, but I could smell the scent...then it completely ignored me as it found a place to lay in the sun and take a nap...lol
After weeks of mulling it over in my mind I figured out my mini peg board. My husband suggested the graph paper to keep it straight, attach to cardboard for structure, attach grommets then add styrofoam backing and organize tools pushing wire into the strofoam to secure. Happy Father's Day, off to get ready for Sunday brunch.
As of last september, St. Sulpice was still under construction. This was the church in Da Vinci Code, and now that I think of it, I believe it was under construction when they filmed the movie, but I don't remember seeing a shot if the facade in the film so maybe they just convieniently avoided it.
I'm quite sure this will be the only "fake tilt-shift" image I ever post. It's fun, but not really my style of processing. I did this one for the current Theme Competition.
This was taken from Montparnasse, and oh man do I wish I had had a better zoom because the view is INCREDIBLE from up there on a clear day. Much much more interesting than from the Eiffel Tower...
To get the proper effect you really need to See it BIG!

I went to my local park in hopes of getting a 'clicker fix' so when I spotted this young Gallinule posing I clicked away...:)
Thank you for your visit and comments.
Trying to catch up my delay ... (which is still very big) ... but I need to post a new photo from time to time ...
Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several WEEKS/MONTHS later. And I might post several photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. Je vous répondrai peut-être dans plusieurs SEMAINES/MOIS. Et je posterai peut-être plusieurs photos entre temps.
France. Vosges. Alsace. Bas-Rhin. Cet étang est situé au Col de Steige (534m), qui relie la Vallée de la Bruche et le Val de Villé. Photo prise en improvisant de faire le tour de l'étang.
La photo a été prise depuis la rive ouest de l'étang.
En ce samedi 17 décembre 2022, il y avait encore beaucoup de neige à basse altitude en Alsace, une mer de nuages pas trop épaisse sur la plaine d'Alsace et au-dessus du grand soleil dans un ciel peu nuageux. Ce cocktail est tellement rare, surtout un samedi, que j'ai eu envie d'en profiter au maximum, en allant faire des mini-randonnées à plusieurs endroits différents. Je me suis fixé 2 objectifs principaux. Le 1er à la Cascade de l'Andlau près du Hohwald et le 2nd au Donon. Et pour relier ces 2 endroits, j'avais prévu de passer par le Col du Kreuzweg, Breitenbach, le Val de Villé, le Col de Steige, Ranrupt et la Vallée de la Bruche. Tout au long de cet itinétaire de liaison, je m'autorisais à faire une halte à tout endroit que je trouverais très beau.
Et c'est ce qui s'est passé au Col de Steige. Pourtant, j'y étais déjà passé à d'autres moments de l'année et je n'avais pas estimé que ça valait le coup de s'y arrêter, mais ce n'était pas en conditions hivernales. Il faut dire, que cet étang est particulièrement défiguré par les cicatrices de la civilisation humaine, avec :
- Une grosse et vilaine ligne à haute tension sur sa rive OUEST
- La route D424 sur sa rive EST
- La route D50 sur sa rive SUD
Et avec 2 ronds-points entre les 2 routes. Sa seule rive préservée est la rive NORD mais elle est toute petite ...
Mais ce jour-là, avec la neige et l'étang gelé, le cadre était magique alors je me suis laissé tenter pour en faire le tour (que j'ai bouclé en 30 minutes en prenant tout mon temps). Et je ne l'ai pas regretté, d'autant que je n'y ai croisé que 3 personnes. Sans doute parce qu'il faisait froid (malgré le soleil) et que c'était samedi, où les gens vont beaucoup dans les magasins (surtout si près de Noël).
Sur ce cliché, on peut voir au centre ce petit îlot caractéristique, qui lui apporte une touche bien sympathique, avec sa 10aine d'arbres feuillus et résineux. Pour ce qui est des cicatrices de la civilisation, elles ne sont pas trop visibles sur ce cliché car :
- La ligne à haute tension était dans mon dos,
- Il n'y avait aucune voiture sur les 2 routes au moment de la prise,
- Le Col de Steige et les 2 ronds-points sont cachés derrière l'îlot,
- Les quelques panneaux de signalisation routière ne se voient presque pas grâce aux branches devant ou à la distance.
