Do you know what hope is? It's that weird little superpower that keeps you from giving up. You have that.

"Try Again Tomorrow"

(feat. Darling West)

If all you did today was, open your eyes

If all you did today was, turn off your phone

If all you had the energy to do today was, cry

Then you should know, that you're not alone

And it's okay to hide

If all you said today was, leave me alone

Push your friends away, and say 'go mind your own'

If all you did today was try to not feel anything, for anyone

Then you should know, you're not alone

'Cause it's okay, it's okay to feel lost, and feel tired

It's alright, you can turn off the light uninspired

And try again tomorrow, try again tomorrow

Alright

Just try again tomorrow, try again tomorrow

Alright

If all you did today was, try to survive

Force a smile and say that, everything's fine

If all you did was try to keep up appearances, a front for everyone

Then you should know, that you're not alone

Then it's okay, it's okay to feel lost, and feel tired

It's alright, you can turn off the light uninspired

And try again tomorrow, try again tomorrow

Alright

Just try again tomorrow, try again tomorrow

Alright

All I did today was, go back to bed

Pray for better days as I, laid down my head

Hello Flickr Friends ❤️💙

It's been awhile, I've missed being here admiring and enjoying your photos, I look forward to catching up soon! :) I hope you are well, enjoying the season in your neck of the woods!:)

....travelling is a privilege, grateful and lucky to be able to experience a new place!

. .. Newfoundland was a bucket list place to visit. The 2 things I hoped to see most was an iceberg and a Puffin. yay :) (Puffin photo coming soon)

.....As such you can imagine how incredible this was to witness part of this iceberg falling off and crashing into the ocean!... ..still in complete awe! lol . The sound and details of it collapsing!..the wave it created. the chances to witness such a thing in nature! (and safely) :) I will treasure the moment forever.

The color, and size was magnificent! every angle is a completely new look to an iceberg. I will be posting more:)

Even though I researched the best time to see icebergs, it does not always guarantee you will. Apparently last year there were none in this area. Twillingate.(part of iceberg alley)...it all depends on the weather, currents, wind direction etc.

"Q: How much of an iceberg is below water?".....Answer below at the end:)

some more fascinating facts if you are interested:

Source:

icebergfinder.com/s/facts

________________

"A: Almost 90% of an iceberg is under water, hence the phrase “tip of the iceberg.” Its maximum width under water is 20-30% larger than you can see at the surface. The average depth, or draught of an iceberg, is slightly less than its apparent length above water."

Once again, some leaves dipped into the welcoming water of a small pond. End or beginning of the eternal cycle of life on Earth?

Once again: Remember, there is no Planet B.

P.S. I was away for a while, now back home again (for a while).

When the world looks at me

I wonder what they see

Underneath these eyes

Oh, smiles masquerade as pain

And grow up to be shame

Then leave me with a lie

I know they, they don't see my flaws

Or these hidden scars

And all the mess I've made

Oh, so don't, don't let Sunday fool ya

Here's my hallelujah

Every single day, I'm running to Your grace

Ey, ey, ey

I'm tired of this dirty heart

That keeps our world apart

I need Your loving fire

And even in these church clothes

I can't dress up my soul

To be free is my desire

I'm so far from where they think I am

But when I raise my hands

I'm reaching out for life

Oh, so don't, don't let Sunday fool ya

Here's my hallelujah

Every single day, I'm running to Your grace

I know they, they don't see my flaws

Or these hidden scars

And all the mess I've made

Oh, so don't, don't let Sunday fool ya

Here's my hallelujah

Every single day, I'm running to Your grace

Running to Your grace

Ooh, I need it everyday

Things I Am Grateful For Today (And Always)

Needless to say I am grateful for many things in my life- including traveling....

Taxidi - Nikos Portokaloglou

This time of year I feel especially grateful. I'm very grateful for all of you, my Flickr friends. Without asking, you give me joy...and that joy turns into a creative attitude:)

I think we all believe that grateful living is a celebration of the universal give and take of life. A limitless yes to belonging.

And I feel a very special sense of belonging with all of you, my Flickr friends.

The flat lay portion of this image is for a weekly theme:

I'll post each day until Christmas as I finally have some time away from work to play with my camera.

Blessings, Joan

I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. - Henry David Thoreau

Have a wonderful day, everyone...

-Meister Eckhart

I didn't get a chance to post this for the holidays seeing I was so busy. I am posting it now, on the last day of November. Let us give thanks for this month and all the rest. Have an attitude of gratitude. Tomorrow starts my 25 Days of Christmas! I am excited for the first time in a long time. I think, with everything going on in the world right now, all that is so wrong......the things that are right are emphasized in my heart more. Let us get ready for a very Merry Christmas!

Maybe one of these days you can let the light in"

Danbo is happy the sprinkling of snow we had yesterday is melting quickly today.

How I have missed those wonderful moments at the waterholes and today I went back in the archives to see if there were some files that could be edited. I love the zebras and it is so much fun to see how excited they get when they know they are nearing the waterhole. Etosha, Namibia is an awesome place and I will always be grateful to Michael Rosenbaum for encouraging Gary and I to go and we spent a month there learning all we could about this magical place . Fortunately we have been able to return many times since and have taken several groups to see the incredible raw beauty it has to offer. Hopefully we will be going back shortly as soon as Covid is under control .

Wishing you all a lovely and blessed evening.

Today I'm grateful for the colors of Lake Superior rocks I've collected over the years and I’ve put them all around my house.

Color are the SMILES of nature.

Another composition which is quite similar to my last bleeding heart image, where I again used our columbine to create a bokeh which frames the heart in focus. I hope you like it! Wish you a great Sunday evening!

“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” – Marcel Proust

95:366:2020

I have learned that peace is found not in knowing where every road will lead, but in being grateful for the people, the moments and the quite blessing that make this journey worthwhile. For me there is a quiet beauty in no longer questioning every step of this journey… but simply being grateful for the moments, the kindness, and the unexpected souls who make the path brighter.

*Prompt used in Chatgpt:

A sepia-toned digital portrait of Charly (use portrait shown).

She is positioned in the center, facing slightly downward and away from the viewer with her eyes closed, exuding an aura of serene contemplation. Her facial features are soft and delicate, highlighted by subtle makeup and elegant, long, wavy dark brown hair that cascades over her shoulders. She wears a rustic, off-the-shoulder cream-colored lace dress with textured

trim that exposes her collarbones. The background consists of a textured, smoky sepia-toned wash that creates a soft-focus effect. The lighting is warm and ethereal, casting gentle shadows across her skin, emphasizing her graceful posture and the smooth contours of her face and shoulders. The overall aesthetic is romantic, vintage, and ethereal, rendered with a painterly texture that blends realistic details with an artistic, sketched quality.

Another beautiful custom made iron gate to a ranch property in the Hill Country of Texas. Had to show this gate before moving to a different part of Texas.

Despite this year being horrendous in multiple ways, I can’t help but be grateful for the things that did go right. We’re ending it with all of us healthy, and for that I am extremely thankful (especially being very aware of how suddenly & drastically life can change).

Life weaves and twists itself, but I'm very grateful for having the loving people around me and for all the wonderful memories.

To 40 more!
