She has such a fragile form. She sat there hugging her knees, complaining that she was cold because I opened the veranda door. So I took the shot and sent her to finish getting ready for school.
For ODC "Knees"
This was a cool challenge as I love playing with light and form :D
Sorry I switched up the photos, so what was last in comments is now here and vice versa
Found on the lakeshore, I don't know what kind of bird this is from, perhaps some sort of gull. It's hard to imagine this single feather is part of producing flight. I like the transition of the white to black combined with it's delicate shape.
One of my new year's resolutions is to start a blog. I never start on January 1st. Yesterday, I began. Have look, and please if you have any ideas, comments and/or suggestions - please tell me. Only one post so far, but it is a start. If anyone uses wordpress - can they give me some tips/tricks, please?
Photographic Punctuation - THANKS!
Will get to your streams later today - a million and one things to get done first.

Even if it sometimes seems that I'm updating my blog with a certain ease, my photography is not without problems and challenges. One thing I'm contemplating almost on a daily basis relates to my goals regarding this photography project. As I've already explained before, one goal of this project is to keep me active and regain my inspiration for my photography again (and to catalyze that inspiration to others as well). But there is also another goal. During this year I would love to come up with a portfolio that, in some ways, would define my own visual style and identity as a photographer. And I feel, that to be 'a more serious photographer' I should have my own visual style, subject of some other well defined thing that would separate me from other photographers out there and which would guide me from hereafter. Doing 'the dark frames' is part of that mission, but I feel I haven't quite yet succeeded in a way that I see them in my mind (and other things in life have kept me out of them recently).
When I look, for example, the work of different brand ambassadors (most often landscape or portrait photographers), they have usually mastered their own genre and a part of me feels this certain kind of pressure to do the same. And I'm asking myself if I'm doing something wrong as I haven't bought a pile of ND-filters, astro trackers or flying drones and I'm not searching for 'those pictures' that are so contemporary today (really a polite way to put it). To get to the point, here's the problem: I don't warm up for conventional genres because as soon as I start to work with some particular picture idea which I have already seen elsewhere (sometimes a hundred times), my motivation runs out. I enjoy too much diversity, small photography, unexpected pictures and doing images that I think some way exemplify my own photographic eye (whatever I think it is in my illusions). That's also a reason why I don't see myself working as a professional photographer, I would just lose my inspiration while molding clients wishes again and again into popular visual motifs (studio headshots, product photography, etc.).
To be honest, I think photography is a thing which I want to keep it just for myself (even if sharing my work online is important to me). I believe there is certain enchantment in a situation when we are capturing that unique light which the life is emitting and I don't want to derange it with other factors of life like work, livelihood or even 'art'. I understand that this is a fragile idea in a world where everything is made to serve some other purpose out there and because of that I don't mention it too often. Does this idea contradict with my need to find my own identity as a photographer and will I be losing something if I don't follow the path taken by professionals, brand ambassadors and other serious photographers, I don't know. All I know is that my visual taste is coming from my own heart and I'm following it, even if it comes with a certain fragile ideas.

The fragile day when you're alone upset and you just don't feel like doing anything or being with anyone. It's a lost day.
It's ok to be fragile sometimes.
The Victorian skirt...
The realization of this skirt cost me hours of work... (｡◕‿-｡)
I had to make two studies before finding the system to obtain conical tubular folds that I wanted. So I finally sewed several triangular pieces, each with a double fold. The bottom of the skirt is decorated with a veritable old Mechlin lace, very delicate and fragile, suspended by small bows of pink silk chiffon. This skirt is longer at the back than the front, and the small bows follow the curvature of the profile.
"fragile
she doesn't see her beauty
she tries to get away
sometimes
it's just that nothing seems worth saving
I can't watch her slip away
I won't let you fall apart"

Fear seems in control during this time we're living. I don't want to give in to fear. I'm trying not to. However as I deal with a chronic disease and already have too much weight on my shoulders...I have to be careful.
Going in walks with my camera is a treat I wont deny myself...
The beauty of the world will always be there running its course. It doesn't ask for attention, It doesn't care for bad weather. It seems fragile but It survives a pandemic. It thrives through it all.
It feels lonely not be able to be enjoy Spring more vividly. To breathe in and scream "I'm here! I see you".

People die all the time. Life is a lot more fragile than we think. So we should treat others in a way that leaves no regrets. Fairly, sincerely and with respect. It's too easy not to make the effort, then weep and wring your hands after the person dies.
People souls are like flowers...
Colourful, variable and beautiful in their own way.
In time they die but they grow again soon.
Above all they are delicate, fragile and if they are harmed the scars remain on their petals until they die no matter how much they try to heal them...
Among the smallest of damselflies in this area. I spotted it flying or probably would have missed it. Thankfully it landed on a peppervine leaf which is big enough for the auto-focus on my camera to work properly. When these tiny damselflies perch on a small stem or narrow grass blade, I usually have trouble getting a good auto-focus.

I wholeheartedly hope things will be okay.
everyone will get through this hard time without fear.
everyone will make it.
I now start counting down for the next 5 months to be back home.
Fragile as a dried out thistle

Nature seems to hold its breath, draped in a fragile layer of frost, as if bracing for the weight of the snow to come. Each branch carries the icy stillness of winter, waiting patiently for the sun’s warmth to bring it back to life. 🌿
"Both sides of the Atlantic Ocean are visible in this view from the Apollo 8 spacecraft. The large, most prominent land mass is the bulge of west Africa. The portion of Africa near the equator is dark and cloudy, but the more northerly portions are clear, showing the prominent cape at Dakar and the Senegal River in Senegal; Cap Blanc; the Adrar Plateau in Mauritania; the wide expanse of desert in Algeria and Spanish Sahara; and at the far edge, the Atlas and Anti-Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Clouds cover the eastern coast of South America, southward from Surinam and Guyana to near the City of Salvador, Brazil. This view was taken after translunar insertion."
Both the photo identification number & caption of “Earth above Lunar Horizon” on the verso are wrong. I’d assume then so is the negative number. Photographer is annotated as “Cape”.

The graffiti on the wall translated to English says something like "Fanatical Grochów" (Grochów is a district of Warsaw). So it hardly makes any sense for me either :)
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
The Sergeant's journal Prologue
And I am in the city again...
It’s been 3 years since the end of the war now. After almost 7 years of brutal battles, orbital bombardments and ruthless killing, the war had finally come to an end and both species had worked out a contract for peaceful co-existence. It’s a fragile peace, though.
I’m now in New Chicago, the Earth-Alliance’s new capital. They live among us now. You can see them here and there. There are not many of them. But they are here. That makes me feel uneasy. Sometimes it seems like they are observing and planning. The headquarter doesn’t belive me and the doctors say I’m mad. But I know: THEY ARE WATCHING US !
