Honesty is such a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly ever heard

And mostly what I need from you

Honestidad es una palabra solitaria

Todo el mundo es tan poco sincero

Honestidad se escucha raramente

y es principalmente lo que necesito de ti

Billy Joel Honesty

Sweet Honesty (Lunaria annua) that was growing in my back yard.

Silberblatt

(Lunaria annua)

She photographs what she likes, simply and directly. All photographers start off with this honesty but most unfortunately lose it as soon as they attempt to become a “better” photographer. Their integrity is swamped by gimmickry and the control of technique. Too often photographers aim for visual effect. Pure boredom. They should forget about being conscious of composition and attempt to be more conscious of feeling. Good photographs come from a photographer having a genuine feeling towards a subject and a desire to record it. If you photograph something that really interests you in a direct and simple way it is a fair bet that your pictures will be more significant.

Lyrics by Billy Joel

If you search for tenderness

It isn't hard to find

You can have the love you need to live

But if you look for truthfulness

You might just as well be blind

It always seems to be so hard to give

Honesty is such a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly ever heard

And mostly what I need from you

I can always find someone

To say they sympathize

If I wear my heart out on my sleeve

But I don't want some pretty face

To tell me pretty lies

All I want is someone to believe

Honesty is such a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly ever heard

And mostly what I need from you

I can find a lover

I can find a friend

I can have security until the bitter end

Anyone can comfort me

With promises again

I know, I know

When I'm deep inside of me

Don't be too concerned

I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone

But when I want sincerity

Tell me where else can I turn

'Cause you're the one I depend upon

Honesty is such a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly ever heard

And mostly what I need from you

My Jam

Honesty

.....the ONLY policy!!

Honesty (Lunaria) - in my garden and in my heart. With the latter, unlike the former, it doesn't just appear in spring, there are no stages, no tweaking, no compromises and no exceptions, it is a guiding Light, Take it or leave it.

In the times of inversion and great deceit in which we live, a world where lies are the accepted norm, from the very top down and throughout all media, then speaking the truth is considered a subversive act ..... or at least it soon will be.

It is an interesting contemplation that honesty and truth are not necessarily synonymous. Truth by definition is honest, but without honesty that which is true can be difficult to discern.

This flower also has lovely papery white seed pods that the sun shines through and illuminates in autumn.

We're leaving all the windows open

We don't even mind the rain

Or where we let the floors get wet

So what if the hardwood stains?

'Cause we're collecting evidence

Of one remarkable storm

How wild it was to find it, finally feel the climate

Instead of only staying dry and warm

Rain on us, Saint Honesty

Salvation is coming in the morning, but now what we need

Is a little rain on our face from you, sweet Saint Honesty

So we won't sleep tonight

While we brace against the wind

Oh, these hearts, they're weather-makers

We'll go where they take us

Until we find ourselves shelter again

We won't settle for the silence

We won't drown in the tears

We'll say every single word even if we think they'll hurt

Let the rain wash away these tears

Rain on us, Saint Honesty

Salvation is coming in the morning, and now what we need

Is a little rain on our face from you, sweet Saint Honesty

Oh, we won't let go, we'll be soaked to the bone

Baptized by truth, we will reap what we sow

Build our own higher ground when the rain's coming down

This is worth it to me, Saint Honesty

Rain

Salvation is coming in the morning

Wait patiently, aiming straight for it

But now what we need

Is a little rain on our face from you, sweet Saint Honesty

I had posted a photo of these growing in my yard earlier in the year. See below in comments.

Honesty, of the genus Lunaria, silver dollar plants are named for their fruit, with pods dry to flat silverish discs about the size of — you guessed it! — silver dollars. from Wikipedia

Madame Molotova is #13 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100Strangers.com

She insists she is not a real fortune teller. She's a fake! There is a lot of irony in that statement. I liked her honesty and her sense of humor. I ran into her down on Union Street today where they had the annual Easter Sunday street faire and parade. She's an entertainer and she charmed me into taking her photo.

On her website she claims to be Auntie Mame, Dame Edna and Nostrodamus rolled into one. She reminded more of my Aunt Peggy!

And mostly

What I need from you.

I've not done a "real" bokeh photo for Wednesday for ages so this afternoon I put the 50mm on the camera and ventured forth into the garden. I took this one between gusts of wind.

Processed with Flypaper Apple Blush and a yet unnamed new texture (which you can't even see in any case :-).

HBW everyone!

HMT!

I was going to leave this B&W, but after playing with different tones, I felt sepia suited it more.

This grows as a wild flower in my garden. It's seed pods when dried are much used by flower arrangers. An example of it's flat round seed pods may be seen just to the right of the flower above. They become silvery white, translucent and papery with time.

Lunaria Annua.

This biennial plant comes in white or purple, and, apart from it's sweet-smelling flowers, is popular with flower arrangers for it's coin-shaped silvery translucent seed pods. Honesty is it's common name in the UK. Here it is , in flower at the moment, in my garden.

Beautiful flowers in my garden. Don't know what they are! Taken with Microsoft Lumia phone on July 12 2019 My camera app became corrupted and stopped saving Camera information last year.

I love Honesty seed pods for their transparency and delicacy. The common name "honesty" arose in the 16th century, and may also relate to the translucence of the seedpods. In South East Asia, it is called the "money plant" and in the United States it is commonly known as "silver dollars", "Chinese money", or "Chinese coins" because its seedpods have the appearance of silvery coins. For the same reason, in French it is known as monnaie du pape ("the Pope's money"). In Denmark it is known as judaspenge and in Dutch-speaking countries as judaspenning (coins of Judas), an allusion to the story of Judas Iscariot and the thirty pieces of silver he was paid for betraying Christ.

Hold your breath and feel the tension

Devils hide behind redemption

Honesty is a one-way gate to hell

I wanna taste consumption

Breathe faster to waste oxygen ... ♪♫♫
