A different version of that mythological tale.
One day Narcissus was walking in the woods when Echo, an Oread (mountain nymph) saw him, fell deeply in love, and followed him.
Narcissus sensed he was being followed and shouted "Who's there?".
Echo repeated "Who's there?"
She eventually revealed her identity and attempted to embrace him.
He stepped away and told her to leave him alone.
She was heartbroken and spent the rest of her life in lonely glens until nothing but an echo sound remained of her.
Nemesis, the goddess of revenge, noticed this behaviour after learning the story and decided to punish Narcissus.
Once, during the summer, he was getting thirsty after hunting, and the goddess lured him to a pool where he leaned upon the water and saw himself in the bloom of youth.
Narcissus did not realise it was merely his own reflection and fell deeply in love with it, as if it was somebody else.
Unable to leave the allure of his image, he eventually realised that his love could not be reciprocated and he melted away from the fire of passion burning inside him, eventually turning into a gold, yellow and white flower.
Thank you, M, (*_*)

We used to have four goldfish - one for each member of the family. Mine was called Spotty, my daughter’s was Cupcake, my son’s was Bugeye and daddy’s was called Goldie. We had them for two years and they were a nice addition to the family especially at the height of the pandemic and lockdown last year - though a bit of a pain to take care of, if you know anything about goldfish you’ll understand. We woke up one day and found Spotty had died. Heartbroken, we decided to re-home them because we didn’t feel we could continue looking after them adequately. This photo is a lovely memory of their time with us.

INNER DEMONS - JULIA BRENNAN
I try to always choose a different song each time, but although I've used this one before, it just fit somehow better than any other to describe my feelings in this moment …
Seems a long, long way back to you
I don't know if I can spare the time
am I better off leaving you
where you are knowing you'll be fine
you left me remember that
and I just didn't have the fight
left in me to call you back
seems it happened as often as the night
eyes like blueberries
lips like red cherries
words that could sting my ears and my eyes
warm as the Summer
cold as the Winter
emotions that could ring in my ears; make me cry
I am strung out; my soul seems to twist and to turn
your words and your actions make my heart burn
how can you say that you love me so much
when you hurt me; deprive me of your tender touch
alone in your torment; you want me to fall
you fill up my senses; you make me your all
I am ruined for anyone else
I am steering a course to a world I once felt
dreams come to me; they flood my mind
I thought that you were one of a kind
exhausted I lay and I pray for release
of this prison you made me; the sheets that you creased
mock me and mimic my cries; I fall back
drained of the energy; courage I lack
thoughts of you make me so weak
scent of you tainted now; havoc you wreak
why can't you leave me alone
you left me begging to bring you back home
can't live without you; can't seem to die
these feelings that clout me and cloud up my eyes
I crave you; the brave you; the one who got out
my soul and my heart skipped a beat so devout
in praise of your being; in love with your bones
so deep is this feeling that won't leave me alone
Dante's Inferno burns my fevered brow
a travesty; tragedy; I feel the heat now
licking and curling these pitiful pages
yellowing; make brittle the words that take ages
to write and then later they don't mean a thing
if you can still leave me on a tightrope of string
so narrow and pointless; my world seems to shrink
a life time without you; a life time to think
if only I could be at rest
I'm striving to do it; to be whole; the best
but still in my heart I feel you
and still in my soul I am torn right in two
writhing; surviving; damaged by love
you ripped something from me
can't find it here or above
pushing and shoving I try to control
the endless beginnings; the endings; the toll
it takes me further away from you
I can hardly make the night through
even my dreams; perpetual in motion
find no remedy; no magic potion
still I awake in the cold light of morning
realise you're not here; once again I start mourning
yet what is the use of grieving
it won't bring you back to the land of the living
I place fresh flowers by the smooth marble stone
that marks where you lay; the wind sets the tone
cold and relentless it whips at my face
how I wish you were standing here in my place
I gave everything up for you
yet still you left me broken in two
my tears water the flowers
I kneel; pray for the hours
to pass gently and swiftly until I reach the day
when I can rejoin you
until then I remember true
the plans that we made
if only you'd stayed
I promise I will carry on
just as you wanted; I'll sing our life song
do all the things that we wanted to do
try not to cry when all I wanted was you
goodbye my sweetheart; goodbye ...

Hello people!
Today is a black & white day at Color my World Daily. I always want to show you some of my more serious pictures (yes, I’m not always goofy and funny, I have a very mature and serious side to me…well, at least it is what I like to think…) but then I have so many ideas for my more staged pictures…. And then I’m always ending up with another “funny” story and less serious picture....
Today we have two identical twins: Mr. Left and Mr. Right. They are super competitive, and they are always fighting who will be the first one to answer the phone. Since there is very rarely (we may even say “never”) someone calling them, they are always staying ready and very close to the phone. They don’t want to miss that very, very important phone call. Who knows? Maybe a winning lottery ticket? Or some luxurious cruise? They are constantly waiting near the phone. Hands up, each of them is ready, waiting for the phone to ring!!
I heard that Mr. Right missed his wedding because he didn’t answer the phone. The bride, all guests were waiting for him at the church, he never showed up… So, his best man called him; no answer… he was busy… The wedding was ruined and called off after 12 hours of waiting and calling Mr. Right without success. Apparently, he was playing an electric guitar solo for his twin brother Mr. Left. He was very proud of his super loud performance (he just learned to play electric guitar to impress his future wife during the first night as married couple…) but he missed THE CALL. His ex-wife to be, left the church heartbroken and he never heard from her again….
For Mr. Left it was even a more disastrous situation. He missed the birth of his only son. The doctor called several times… the situation was at the point where there was no turning back …. The mother to be, just had to push her baby out to this world! The nurse, the doctor, everyone called Mr. Left several times… no answer… He was listening to his twin brother playing a very long electric guitar solo. And he missed THE CALL. The mother and the baby left the hospital and he never heard from them again….
The twins don’t want to make the same mistake twice: Mr. Left and Mr. Right are waiting for the call!!! In total silence: just the two of them and the phone… which apparently isn’t not connected to any line…And since they are not paying the bills, their phone number is not even listed in the phone book…(and no they don’t have a cellular phone, they are not eligible for any plan…).
So, who else is like me: always missing a call?
Happy Sliders Sunday and Happy Color My World Daily Black & White to all participants!!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts / positive vibes!! It is truly appreciated! Have a great day and see you soon!!
The world feels just that bit different today. Like so many others I was heartbroken to learn of the death of our beloved Queen yesterday. In one frail faint breath we went from living in the Era of Elizabeth II to the Era of Charles III. It seems unreal and I struggle to imagine a world without her presence. Oh I know that logically her advanced age was against her but there was a part of me that believed she was immortal and would always be with us. She truly was a remarkable woman who ruled for 70 years with grace and dignity, never putting a foot wrong.
But now we move forward and I anxiously await to see what our King has in store. He is a man who had ideas ahead of the times and was talking about the environment, climate change and social reform long before the rest of us got on board. If we give him a chance I believe he will be a good king and hopefully bring about some changes in our world.
Dear community,
It is time for the final battle between Obi-Wan and Vader, it is time to present the final creation of my #building series. This one is the highlight of the 6️⃣ episodes, because it shows the dtamatic lightsaber duel between Vader and Kenobi on a rocky moon
Here is a short summary of the scene which I build:
[...] Meanwhile, Kenobi flies his starship to a rocky moon covered with rocky pinnacles. Vader orders his crew to prepare his shuttle and vows to face Kenobi alone. As Vader flies down to the moon to face his former master, Kenobi leaves Lola inside the ship's cockpit. Vader lands his shuttle on the barren moon. Vader finds Kenobi nearby and asks if he has come to destroy him. Kenobi replies that he will do as he must before igniting his lightsaber. Vader vows that Kenobi will die and the two engage in a lightsaber duel. Kenobi uses the Force to hurl Vader against a rock before pummeling him with rocks. Kenobi then resumes his lightsaber duel with Vader. Meanwhile, Kenobi damages Vader's armor and life support system with his lightsaber and rocks. After overpowering Lord Vader, Kenobi deals a decisive strike upon his helmet, damaging his mask and exposing the left side of his scarred face. Kenobi addresses him as Anakin Skywalker, prompting Vader to respond that Anakin is gone and that he is all that remains. Kenobi is visibly heartbroken, and tearfully apologizes to Anakin.
Vader replies that he is not his failure and that Kenobi did not kill Anakin. With a feral smile, Vader replies that he killed Anakin and vows to destroy Kenobi as well. Kenobi's anguish turns to resignation and he forlornly responds that his friend is truly dead before bidding the Dark Lord farewell. As Kenobi leaves, Vader calls out to him while rising to his feet. He screams Kenobi's name once again in helpless fury as Kenobi departs the rocky moon in his starship. [...]

Merle Haggard One Day At A Time (Gospel Song)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELZ4QouVNFc
I'm only human
I'm just a man
Help me to believe in what I can be and all that I am
Show me the stairway
That I have to climb
Lord for my sake teach me to take one day at a time
One day at a time, sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking of you
Give me the strength to do everyday
What I have to do
Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine
So for my sake, teach me to take one day at a time
Do you remember when you walked among men?
Well Jesus you know if you're looking below
It's worse now than then
Pushing and shoving crowding my mind
So for my sake, teach me to take one day at a time
One day at a time, sweet Jesus (sweet Jesus)
That's all I'm asking of you
Give me the strength to do everyday
What I have to do
Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus (sweet Jesus)
And tomorrow may never be mine
So, for my sake, teach me to take one day at a time
Yes, for just my sake, teach me to take one day at a time
The man. I think I can see sadness. I think I can feel it in the air. This is a picture of what I really see..
This iconic County Park is adjacent to Whitefish Dunes State Park. It consists of 19 acres of land that has become one of the favorite points of interest in Door County. The waves have been carving the caves/rocks for centuries. The Waves can easily reach heights of over 30 ft. high making this a remarkable place to visit any time of the year.
I think my favorite time of the year is Winter the ice formations are spectacular - though one must use extreme caution a slip could /would lead to severe injury or death with little to no way out from the rocks and cold water below.
In summer when water levels are high many come here to jump off the cliffs into still frigid waters.
IT is invigorating (and YES I have made that jump in the summer) :)
NOTE: A very sad notation ...a photographer from my area was here at this location on Sunday and slipped and fell. The police found is car in the parking lot along with some of his gear on the edge My heart is breaking and it is a reminder that we love the places we go ,,,, but it comes with danger and we need to know our surroundings and and not push ourselves just to get the shot we want.
Although we will never know the full situation or circumstances an accident is just that an accident but it still leaves me heartbroken.
Be safe out there wherever you are!!
I am heartbroken because my beautiful maple tree......on the left....has only one trunk left. It had 3 before the storm.

What Hurts The Most- Rascal Flats
"What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin’
What could've been
And not seein' that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do"
time after time, I finally just end up being another heartbroken youngster.

Because tomorrow is Thanksgiving, I'll go ahead and say what I am thankful for.
I am thankful for the ability to create. I'm so thankful that I have an outlet that helps get me through these hard times where I otherwise wouldn't know how to cope or where to turn.
And I am grateful for those of you who are continuously incredibly supportive. It means so much to me.

Tonight's Sunset at Cleadon Windmill.
The ruined windmill on the hills was constructed in the 1820s. The mill is built on the highest part of Cleadon Hills on a slight artificial mound. The building incorporates a stone reefing stage, a feature that was peculiar to windmills in the area.
The mill was severely damaged in a storm at some time during the 1870s, and then suffered the indignity of being a target for gunnery practice during the First World War. A photograph dating from the 1920s shows the rotating cap and the windshaft more or less intact but without the sails, which were presumably destroyed during the storm that put the mill out of business. Nowadays the entrances to the mill are barred and locked, the remains of internal machinery that were visible in the mill during the 1970s are now gone, although broken fragments of a millstone remain.
A local legend relates the story of Elizabeth Gibbon, a heartbroken woman who threw herself from the top of the mill tower and whose ghost apparently haunts the ruin of the mill to this day. The windmill was operated by the Gibbon family at the time the storm took place, which lends some weight to the tale of Elizabeth's suicide.
...to the loveliest purr in the world. To say we are heartbroken would be an understatement. We are devastated.
Izzie and Gabie Smith, #1 and #2 ... aarrgghhhh! They started it all, right after I retired disabled and moved after being so sick with two major cancer battles, then my last dog, Gabe, died. I was heartbroken and knew I'd never have another pet. Then ...
"How much are those kittens in the window?" she asks walking one day downtown in my new historic town of Sebring. They were in a filthy, horrible little bird cage in the window of a groomer's shop. Tiny little creatures who needed me to rescue them. Izzie locked eyes with me through the shop window, and even though I moved and moved, she never broke her beseeching gaze.
I had a third major cancer battle after rescuing so many. I truly think they helped save me ... until Jesus saved my soul in 2006 that is!
So that's how the Smith clan of eleven got started. I rescued feral cats for the next seven years before I moved to Orlando and retired that mission and passion! Well, that's not exactly correct. I moved here with nine, then got taken advantage of by a new neighbor ... and then there were eleven! Abbie and Ashlie are truly, TRULY the last ones! I promise (again), Jesus.
Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on while things have made me heartbroken..
"And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am"

I came home and found my mother dead on the floor.
I am extremely heartbroken and will miss her more than anything in my life. I have one of my friends in the photo with me right now, but we can't get a hold of the other yet.
Forgive me for not responding right now.
It's been a long time since I came around
Been a long time but I'm back in town
This time I'm not leaving without you

Striped Kukri Snake (Oligodon octolineatus) - Malua Forest Reserve, Malaysia
A beautiful snake which I had been hoping to see during my time in Borneo. I was somewhat heartbroken when I came across my first one freshly dead on a road in Danum Valley, a few days later in Malua, I came across another one which was alive! At first I thought it might be a coral snake (Calliophis sp.) but I quickly determined it was a kukri snake. Thinking I had nothing to fear I picked it up and quickly learned why this is called a kukri snake, a kukri is a type of Nepalese knife and apparently this snakes teeth are shaped like the knife. It immediately demonstrated the efficiency of its teeth and left its mark; several impressive slashes across my fingers and knuckles. My hand was bleeding quite profusely but I was unwilling to let this snake go as it was the first of its kind that I had seen alive, but I took care to not let it bite me anymore. Apparently I'm not the only one who has had a bite by an Oligodon bleed excessively, its thought that perhaps they have some anticoagulant in their saliva. Its amazing how effective its 'kukri' teeth were, I have been bitten by many snakes over the years and usually a nonvenomous colubrid of this size is of no concern and can barely break the skin, the Oligodon showed me it wasn't the average run of the mill colubrid. Despite being effective their teeth aren't designed to savage photographers, they're also useful when it comes to their prey which is mostly eggs but lizards are also taken. The teeth are used to slice the egg and allow for easier consumption.

Where do you start to sum up your feelings about the loss of a Pet. Needless to say we are heartbroken and there is a big hole in our family. We inherited Tilly nearly ten years ago when she was about two. She was the most good natured dog I have ever known and was perfect for us, she quickly set about worming her way into our affections and breaking through every barrier and rule that we set for her.
We have been lucky to have enjoyed her and she has left us with many happy memories, a couple that I would like to share.
She was quite a quirky looking thing, being a cross between a Pointer and Jack Russell, we entered her into a local dog competition, that was just for fun. She won the waggiest tail trophy, which was quite something as her tail had been docked before we had her. I dread to think of the damage that tail might have done as she always wagged the stump furiously.
Some years ago I posted an image of her called Bandit. It was taken in our kitchen as she was trying to make a dash for the garden carrying her ill gotten gains. My son, rather foolishly, left a Pizza unattended in his room, She helped herself to a slice and made a run for it. Having been found out she proceeded to try and look innocent. The image is one of my family’s favourite of her and sums her up completely, the link is below if you would like to see it.
She was diagnosed with Heart and Kidney failure in January, we were told at the time that she probably only had weeks, over 6 months later she finally lost her battle but the fact she lasted so long shows what a fighter she was.
Rest in Peace little one
OK maybe not quite yet fierce! Yesterday I was heartbroken to learn that two of the great horned owlet trio I’ve been watching had died. The third also seemed near death but apparently pulled through. At first I thought oh no not the avian flu again, but the symptoms people reported seem more consistent with rodenticide poisoning. Given the urban setting of the nest site it is likely. Representatives from our local raptor center came to pick up the bodies of the two dead owlets and will let a friend of mine know the testing results. Although I did not witness their suffering myself I was beside myself with grief. I will post all my photos and videos to honor them.
You say you need me,
that I'm the light in the end of the tunnel,
the prettiest rose,
that I'm the one who you'll always come back to...
Yet you try to change me,
to someone who I am not,
to someone I can never be...
me - change

While I think about all I have to be grateful for on this Thanksgiving day, I can't help but be heartbroken by the death of the six children in Chattanooga TN a few days ago in a horrible school bus accident. It reminded me of a very similar accident back in 1959 in Garrett County MD that I learned about this summer. We visited this memorial back in June, and I was very moved by the joyful sculpture and beautiful poem.

Some of you know that one of my kitties became poorly just over a week ago. Since last Wednesday she's been gone :( and we're all heartbroken.
She had been by my side for over 17 years, and had such a big and loving character. The house feels empty without her. I miss her so much :(
Miss Abbie Smith died unexpectedly yesterday. One hour after her rabies vaccination. She was only four years old. My heart is broken ... outcry, Father, outcry.
