Fried Food on our Minds

Misty hills from wind blown sea spray.
The ocean roared low in our ears.
Beautiful waves kept rolling on in.
A blowhole spat water over the road.
Well timed crossings were required.
I ran he walked not sure what that says.
Okay, so... today I'm in a state of high anxiety. Why? Because. GULP. Yesterday I sent (for the first time ever) a batch of my stories to a learned person, requesting his honest feedback.
Said learned person was my English instructor in college in the 80s. I haven't seen him since that fateful day when I sold my books, vacated my apartment and tossed away plans to pursue a degree in favour of working in radio.
He was the last person to formally teach me anything in any way related to writing. He also encouraged me greatly, way back when. He thought I had potential.
So imagine how scary it is for me to show him my work... more than two decades later. I haven't had any additional schooling or instruction or even advice in the intervening years... and I've never allowed anyone to read my personal writing... except here on Flickr. That's what gave me the courage to send a few stories to my old prof. And now I'm all anxiety.
Meantime, I have hack work to do, so I'll try to forget about personal writing for now.
I just wanted to thank my Flickr friends for giving me the confidence to take one more step forward with my (always anxiety producing) scribbling.
A garden loaded with goodness awaited me when I came back from vacation...
Thank you everyone, have a beautiful Wednesday!

His goodness overcomes all evil and circumstances! God's goodness is near to His children and His grace is extended to His people. His goodness is everlasting without an end! Praise be to God for all His goodness to us!
Trees for Tuesday
Various mosses and lichens cover almost everything in Washington's Hoh Rainforest. These two trees caught my eye while hiking the Spruce Tree trail. Such a special place.
Thanks for taking a look!

I had been told that the training procedure with cats was difficult.
It's not. Mine had me trained in two days. ;-) ~Bill Dana

Durford Wood, Petersfield, Hampshire
Another 'Run & Gun' shot from my all too brief visit to Durford Wood near Liss/Petersfield. Forgive the obvious leading line but I was pressed for time.
Here's hoping for some more foggy mornings .....without work meetings!!😣

Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) looking a bit shocked.
I was missing most of the Siskins, Goldfinches and Greenfinches to Birdwatch today. Lots of other regulars arrived plus two Starlings on the cage feeder, they normally stick to the front garden where the Laurel hedge is.
This cool helmet is from L'Emporio. The Fallout helmet comes in a few colors with a hud also!
The awesome armour is by P.O.E and at the Engine Room. Alex was super nice and helpful with a problem I had (my own fault) so he deserves a shout out.
Egyptian Goodness, this image represents the impression that I get from my visit to this special, beautiful and magnetic country, its simple, authentic and kind people

Been working on my focus stacking lately. Looking for more intimate comps. New perspectives. Thank you for all the positive feedback.
It's about time I posted photos of my big brother ... he is the reason I took up photography now more than 50 years ago. Today would have been his 73rd birthday but he left us at age 46. I won't bother with bemoaning and detailing how profound our loss was ... he wouldn't condone it if he were here.
We photographed together when time and circumstance allowed and I would often turn my camera to him as my subject. Two examples of my informal portraiture of him are in this diptych. Although I had no way of knowing it at the time, all of these extemporaneous portraits would become a treasure to me after his death. I return to them often to provoke good memories that deserve provocation for their goodness and if only to remind me of our times together and to serve as the 'voice in my ear' when I am editing my own work. I often look at my own images when deciding if they are 'keepers' by asking myself "what would my brother have said about them?" It keeps me honest in some mysterious and wondrous way ... thank you big brother and happy birthday. "Anon, or sooner!"

Foggy fall goodness at Burnaby Mountain Park near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: A photo from one of my favourite places in fall attire that can't be missed from my photostream! I enjoyed a visit to Burnaby Mountain Park today as I had hoped the tree lined path with benches would be in full fall colours. To my surprise those trees were still pretty green with some orange hues. I think another week or maybe even 2 before they will be in full fall foliage.
Thankfully there were other trees in the park that have fully changed colour and looked so pretty. It was a bit foggy up there which added to the wonderful fall mood. The grass had fallen leaves on it which looked so pretty. I thought this angle was nice with some distant colourful trees as well.

Some information on Burnaby Mountain: Burnaby is a city which belongs to the Greater Vancouver area and is about 10-15 minutes from downtown Vancouver. Burnaby Mountain is one of the beautiful places to visit in Burnaby and is located near the Simon Fraser University. The views over the mountains, the Burrard Inlet, downtown Vancouver and Indian arm from up here make it such a great place. This is a fairly popular destination for visitors and locals alike. The green hillside offers room to throw a frisbee or send a kite soaring. There is a network of trails which offer a variety of hiking, walking and jogging options. There is a picnic area and a small playground near the parking lot and there is also a playground tucked away in the upper hillside.
The Centennial Pavilion area features the Rose Garden, with its vibrant colours in season and a great variety of roses. There used to be the Horizons restaurant as well which has been closed and "Mintara atop Burnaby Mountain" is now the new restaurant up there. Towering over the distant city are the tall Kamui Mintara (Playground of the Gods) sculptures. The Kamui Mintara is more than a dozen carved poles created by Japanese sculptors Nuburi Toko and his son, Shusei. These impressive sculptures commemorate the goodwill between Burnaby and its sister city, Kushiro, Japan.
Burnaby Mountain is a great place to enjoy in any season as there are always the beautiful views over the city, the mountains, the Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm (a coastal fjord of about 18km/11.25mi long).

#50 - 100 x challenge - Lensbaby
These pretty and unusual flowers were in my flower delivery a couple of weeks ago and are only just showing signs of wilting. I wanted to get a photo before they finish completely. They are called ornithogalum (thank goodness they are prettier than their name!)
The lace is a scarf I bought in Bruges a few years ago, the charms on the frame are part of the scarf. I always like to bring something home to remember my travels...when I used to travel!
Lensbaby Velvet 56...I know the Velvet isn't really made for flat lay style but I still like the glow it gives.
Halfway through my 100 x challenge.

You can't ignore the Atomium I guess, thank goodness for 'panoramic freedom'.
I had one night only, and the evening was unfortunately not exactly spectacular, but hey. It's a lovely and attractive structure anyway. Enjoy!
