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.

old pumpkin store ! a beautiful combinations of colors and textures.. i was in a moving car so the pic look a little out of focus.
One reason I look forward to frosty mornings is the way the frost highlights the shapes and structure of the leaves on the ground.
Our first snow - just a light dusting but enough to settle on the leave of this Katsura Tree. What a pretty tree tucked behind the fragrance garden at the arboretum. The leave are sort of heart shaped. I love fall!
Rustic bridges, rustic-themed poetry… there's something nostalgic and healing about Brooklyn’s urban-suburban autumn. So many parallels that have nothing in common are somehow intertwined inside the heart and soul.

I probably didn’t learn much in this life (if keep making mistakes) but ONE thing know for sure ... If something doesn’t make you happy get off your a.. & move on ... or ... change the road ♥️
Personally, even though this photo is more gloomy than others, it turned out to be my favorite of the day. The thought of “unknown” & “unexpected turn”... the unexpected is what keeps us going & hoping.
I’m not in the mood to explore this year (new places). That feeling is foreign to me. And I have so many days off that must be used before the end of the year. Meanwhile all I want is a familiar place I fell in love with, beautiful sunsets, cold crispy nights, random books, fireplace and sunrise stroll. And repeat. Makes sense ?!! Not even to me, but every vacation is the same & probably will be the same till end of the year & I really love 💕 t ! . . . And my stylish Lululemons are all very for mid-October 💕💕
Fell in love with just a word ‘Italy’ when Italian was introduced to me at 14. Didn’t think back then that it was possible to carry love for something through the years & experience. That’s the thing once we start noticing the details they stay with us forever 💛
This empty place for sunset is breathtaking ... Empty because it was already closed ... but when did it ever stop me ?!! 🍂🍂♥️🍁🍁 Was worth it !!!! My new very favorite place !!! Love love love it !!
Happiness breeds happiness.
The sun shines even in bad weather.
Just love every day with all your heart.
Give the wings freedom.
Call Mom today.
If you have not forgiven someone, you forgive.
Our lives are unique...
Don't lie to yourself!
Now and here
Live, don't wait!
Chorus:
I love life!
I love to live!
I live love!
I love you!..
I absolutely in love with nature & Brooklyn, NY is probably the only urban area where I can actually live because it’s half urban & half suburban ♥️♥️🍂 Perfection !!!
I know I know I'm behind again LOL. Sorry I will be catching up by tomorrow night.
HBM I will be gone most of tomorrow! Xoxo
I really have mixed feelings about November. Sometimes I look at it and everything around is really beautiful. Other times I get sad from the way seasons change & time flies.
I don’t know ... but those late October nights after work 12 years ago reading books about New York by the window with a hot drink something there made me happy ♥️
This place is not anything special but it is my favorite intersection for various reasons & family related moments ♥️
"You realize that a man can take a train and never reach his destination, that a man has no destination at the end of the road, but that he merely has a starting point on the road - which is Home. You see it all, this epic of mankind, before your eyes; it is a limpid and awful truth, it has a naked and beautiful reality."

How more beautiful everything looks from above ... when I look down at nature or anything else from top just think to myself “f... this life is gorgeous” ... it’s like going through reincarnation every time & being reborn again ♥️♥️♥️
I know people who, when they get upset over any reason, first say they need alcohol. I realized even before I was legal that alcohol when I'm upset, is not my thing. It makes me more sad. I need beauty. It makes me feel better. It makes me feel like I have no reason to be upset, even when I do. I'm somewhat like Scarlett O’Hara… It breaks my heart, but I’ll think about it tomorrow. The next day, I don't think about how unfortunate I am but how lucky I am to be alive, and everything else will eventually resolve.
While traveling I meet people from different cultures from all over the world & I think that’s fascinating ♥️
Seeing something is not the same as looking at something. Seeing requires use of other senses not just one’s sight. A person can have 20/20 vision & still be blind to the world
