„... I focus on the pain. The only thing that's real... Ein photographisches Gedächtnis zu haben ist nicht immer ein Segen. Hättest Du gesehen, was ich gesehen habe.. Das Leben ist eine einzige Möglichkeit. Du hast viele Optionen, aber am Ende bist Du nur einen Weg gegangen. Stilwandel oder im stillen wandeln. Dem eigenen, einem manchmal fremden Wesen treu zu bleiben. An manchen Tagen einer Welt zu entspringen, die in Scherben liegt. Um am nächsten Tag ein Mosaik aus den vielfarbigen Bruchstücken zu formen. Selbstgeständnisse... Irgendwann habe ich gelernt, keine Spuren zu hinterlassen. Außer den Spuren, von denen ich möchte, das man sie sieht... Verantwortung... Stefan war 2 Meter groß. Aber sein Sarg war bedeutend kleiner. Zwei S-Bahnen hatten ihn schon überrollt, bevor der Fahrer der Dritten ihn bemerkt hat. An seinem Grab habe ich keine Worte mehr gefunden. Anders als damals bei Andreas. Stefan habe ich wortlos das paar schwarzer Sneaker auf den Sarg gelegt... Schuldgefühle... Kennenlernen am Bahnhof beim Fotografieren. Die ersten Gespräche, ohne zu wissen, wer da wen vor sich hat. Der Austausch. Von Wissen und Orten. Each one teach one ist eben keine Floskel. Aktionen, Partys, Reisen... Und am Ende dann das Ende... Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair...“

It's snowing in Texas! I've never seen so much snow in one winter before. Love it!
Thanks so much for the get well wishes for Lily. She seems like she's feeling a little bit better today. She's wanting to go out in the snow, but of course I can't allow it. I think play-dough will distract her. =)
Inspired by this shot.
I didn't do anything to fit the PPT group theme (again) this week. Too busy still playing with Florabella textures and editing my last photo session.
Flowers from my yard, speaking of which....I HAVE to get out there and work today. I've been very neglectful lately and would just rather take pics than work in the yard :)
I used Worn linen (overlay), Allure (multiply) and Teastained (screen and overlay).
Oh how I love these textures!!!

diavola with roquitos, no tomato sauce, extra pepperoni, black olives and red onions from pizza express. They were a bit stingy with those extra toppings, but I was too hungry and time-pressured to make a fuss.
i am so glad flickr is working again.

Wish I could say I was on vacation, but it was flickr who locked me out for the past two weeks!! It's been very frustrating not to have access to flickr & my photostream for this long! I've missed you all & hope to be commenting on your beautiful photos as fast as I can! Hope you haven't forgotten me!
For a short time, Amtrak’s California Zephyr saw 161 on rotation. This was Amtrak’s Phase I heritage unit and replaced the previous Phase I, 156, after it hit a truck and got severely damaged. Just like 156, 161 also has been retired as a few weeks ago it caught fire in Washington D.C. and was burnt to a crisp.
I'm ready for everything!!
I’m white & backlit to make you smile on Saturday. :-)
I got my bunny ears on for Halloween! 🎃
I got my mittens and scarf on for the cold winter. ❄️
And some of my friends are in back for support. 👍
I'm ready for everything!!
Although I'm good as is.. 🐭 ;-)
Happy Smile on Saturday. 😊
In Colorado I could see the sun set over the mountains from my front balcony in our condo. Our place was tiny, way too small for our growing family and my balcony became my escape. There were times as a stay at home homeschooling Mom that by the end of the day my sanity was hanging on just by a frazzled thread. In the evenings I would go outside and soak up the last rays of sun and admire the beautiful sunset. I used it as a time for myself to calm myself, reflect, usually pray. Some people have a glass of wine or maybe a cigaret to unwind. Watching the sunset was my glass of wine. This was a tradition for me during my last two pregnancies which because of severe complications I was put on extreme bed rest in my third trimester with both. After my youngest was born in March, the pandemic was in full swing. I believe it was only a few days after her birth (hard to remember, but very shortly after) that our state shut down. For several months we were stuck inside like the rest of the world. I maintained my sanity by slipping away each day to watch the sun go down. it meant I had survived another day and sometimes that was hard enough by itself. When we made the move to Texas to by dismay the area we moved to had no vantage point whatsoever to see the sun drop. The trees although pretty, block any indication of the sun setting and obviously the elevation is pretty flat! For the first several weeks I feel silly admitting that I became deeply depressed and sad that I could no longer carry on this tradition of watching the sun go down. When I found this lake (which is about 40 minutes from town!) and realized I'd get to see the sun set for the first time in weeks, I was ecstatic. We brought our portable grill and set up by the lake. And that was where I saw my very first Texas sunset. I was so emotional about it I actually cried. I remember sending my Mom a Marco Polo of the sun setting... I know I sound a bit unstable. Give me some grace, 2020 and all lol. Since then it's became one of my favorite places to go. Because of the distance Im not able to go every day but when I am I savor that experience and always take pictures of it to bring home. I didn't realize how much I took for granted in being able to see the sun set in Colorado but it is one of the things I miss the most. The sunset tonight was so beautiful. This area is unique in the fact that the bottom of the lake seems to be all red clay. It makes it almost peculiar as you get the blue of the sky reflected onto the water but the red tones are also there. Lots of scraggly bushes and rocks in this area that do get in my way for pictures. I'm not sure how well it works in this picture but I still wanted to share. I hope you enjoy the glimpse into my world and hopefully it brings you some joy as well.
Almost 1 in the morning here so I will end this. Goodnight dear friends. xx

How precious how lovely
Are your thoughts oh Lord toward me
How truly amazing
Is the grace that you have shown
Oh majesty I live to see your face
I will search for you
And I will find you
I will find you with all my heart
I will lift my hands to you in worship
And I will worship with all my heart
How gracious relentless
Is the Father's love toward us
Breathtaking the beauty
And the radiance of you
Oh majesty I live to see your face
And be transformed
Into your image
Oh majesty I live to see your face
And be transformed
Into your image
Oh Oh I will worship you with all my heart
Oh Oh I will worshio you with all my heart
I got this lens for over three weeks now from a highly talented and seasoned photographer. Now, the pressure is on for me to develop good result. I think I screwed up the first two rolls. It will be confirmed when I send the rolls for processing this weekend. Legend? Yes, the MAT not me.
Godsmack-I stand alone
Now I've told you this once before
You can't control me
If you try to take me down you're gonna break
I feel your every nothing that you're doing for me
I'm picking you out of me
You run away
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
You're always hiding behind your so called goddess
So what you don't think that we can see your face
Resurrected back before the final fallen
Now they've arrest until I can make my own way
I'm not afraid of fading
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
And now its my time (now its my time)
It's my time to dream (my time to dream)
Dream of the sky (dream of the sky)
Make me believe that this place is inplagued
By the poison in me
Help me decide if my fire will burn out
Before you can breathe
Breathe into me
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone
Inside

These were the biggest bags of garlic or shallots that I have ever seen. I'm really not sure the quantity she was pointing at but I was certain it was bigger than my usual little bag.
much better larger and on black - molto meglio in grande e su sfondo nero
Tomorrow it will start a two 24hours/a/day days meeting with the american architect on site; it will be boring and unpleasant.
I'm ready to fall.
Will you pardon me if I'll not be on flickr?
Domani comincia una due giorni non stop di riunioni con l'architetto americano in cantiere. Sarà fastidiosa e noiosa.
Sono pronto a cadere.
Spero mi perdoniate per la mia assenza.
After a very long break I am back on Flickr! Hopefully I can now post a picture every other day again!
[It will take some time until I can upload pictures I am taking at the moment - I recently moved to Japan! Yay! :)

I took this picture in Oaxaca during one of my neighborhood walks. The mural is on a busy street, but fortunately, the curb in front of it is painted yellow, so cars can't park there and block the view. I lingered across the street for a few minutes as people passed by, and I was able to capture a few shots.

I need you back
Here with me
Why don't you return
Are you scared
That you might not want
To leave me?
It is time to find me again
Where it all began
It is time to find yourself
Where your life
Opened right up
And you could really see
I have been calling you
Calling for so long now
You have heard me
Not forgotten me
But you are denying me
Why is that so?
Leave it all now
Answer my love for you
Let me remind you
Of what I am to you
You have always known
What we can do
This image is calling me, to go back. And I must answer. I thought I would place this work up here at this point as I have been reflecting on my journey of sharing my work after many years of seclusion. This image reminds me of when things started to connect for me after a tumultuous time in 2019.
Then my dear friend the vicar [who quite frankly saved my sanity back in 2019] persuaded me that other people would really like to see my work, that he was convinced that it had some value and possible qualities to it that could help and comfort them. I didn't know what was going to happen or if anybody would respond to my work. I set up a website on Wix.com, and using their design editor, I designed how I wanted the site to look. I knew how I wanted it to appear, as the poetry and images are meant to be seen together, as they are deeply connected. It took me over five months and many long hours.
Then I decided to join Flickr as I liked the format and the way people were interacting. It seemed to me a platform that would suit me better than some others. I saw that people were also writing about their images, experiences and poetry. But I still didn't know if people would respond. Nobody knew me on here, nobody in my life except my partner knew I was thinking of joining. Nobody until recently knew I even took photographs.
On another social site I have remained a bit niche, shall we say, but I have met some nice people on there.
However, on here it seems to be a different story and after nearly eight months, I have been constantly surprised and delighted that you seem to like this melancholic, empathetic photographer and poet. Thank you to all who have viewed, faved and commented. You have got me over the 100,000K mark and counting, and things seem to have changed a bit.
So I will keep going and we will see where it leads. There will be patches of time where I am working on my pieces and then I will load the work up on here and my website. The good thing is that I have a backlog of work to do stored in my files! I am compelled to do this work, as it gives me great peace and joy, and I enjoy sharing it with you all.
Forgive me in the future if I have to do a 'multi-thank you' on some of the work if there are lots of faves; I shall always endeavour to answer comments as usual, but now more people have found me, I felt that I just wanted to to let you know that I still appreciate your generosity.
But while this work of mine is still forthcoming and I am able to create it I sense I must do just that. I am in my middle years, I do not have time to waste.
I hope that you will continue to accompany me on my creative and spiritual journey and enjoy the work that appears!
Best Wishes, and thank you again, Shelley.
