Foo Fighters - There is Nothing Left to Lose (1999)

The two drug dealers who appear at the beginning of this video clip of Foo Fighters, trying to camouflage drugs on the plane, are Jack Black and Kyle Gass, two musicians who make up the rock group Tenacious D. This song will never be the best song of the rock history, even if the lyrics say so. Nor will they be remembered as one of the best rock bands. But something if they have both: they are two very funny guys. And his music videos and concerts, more. A good group. And "Tribute" a fun video clip.

American Beauty (final scene). Director: Sam Mendes

A film to think and reflect on. A highly recommended film.

Y entonces fluye a través de mi como la lluvia. Y no siento otra cosa que gratitud por cada instante de mi estúpida e insignicante vida.

No tienen ni idea de lo que le hablo, seguro. Pero no se preocupen... algún día la tendrán.

"Life fits in a 'click', in the blink of an eye, in any flake of oatmeal. It is about distinguishing what is worth from what is not"

...Squeeze every second of your life. Learn to fly, even if only as a simple plastic bag blown by the wind blowing in the streets. Otherwise, you will have flown through life... without having understood your own life.

PS: There is one thing I don't like about this photo... the use of pesticides. I prefer organic, ecological and sustainable crops. Pesticides kill insects. If the insects die, the birds have no food. And every day that passes, there are fewer birds... simply because there are no insects. The only species that is a plague on Earth... is humans.

PS: And as explained in ecology and ecosystems or the same words of the best ecologist, oceanographer and limnologist, Ramón Margalef... no plague can survive. Sooner or later... all the plagues, they finish and they are extinguished.

¿Que pasó aquí? La mariposa ha perdido sus alas. el aire es demasiado denso para respirar y hay algo en el agua potable.

Sale el sol y estás solo. Tu sentido de propósito se deshace. El tráfico vuelve al laberinto de la 101 y las noticias del cielo, se ven mejor por hoy, en todos los sentidos, pero no para ti, ciudadano del mundo. No es seguro.

Todos los pájaros amarillos están durmiendo porque el aire no es apto para respirar. No es seguro.

Happy summer.

Same place and time as in the previous photo but the landscape is seasoned with ICM swing. Finland. ICM. Abstract.

When you can't fly, and you keep falling out of trees, climbing skills are in order.

My most-believed quote. Not skilled in black and white photography, but what better time to learn?

While I was working from home, a baby pigeon was flying for the first time and landed in front of my window. I’m not that fond of pigeons to be honest, but witnessing this fragile creature discovering the big wide world for the first time really made my day ☺️

I have not seen Rama Bear around anywhere in a long time. I am going on a hunt for him. maybe he is lost in this house somewhere. Oh no.

This is an old shot

Continuing to learn something new whether I think I'll use it or not. Study engages my mind during these cringeworthy days.

While some photographers offer luminosity masks to purchase, the steps are easy enough to learn by watching youtube videos.

For this simple dewy, foggy belly shot in August, I used luminosity seven masks and curves to tweak highlights, watching the histogram carefully.

Many thanks for looking!

Why do we publish our work on Flickr? Isn't it because we like it, even are proud of it? Just a thought....

Featured Favorite:

With new each image I will mention one of my very favorite Flicker photographers. These are not in any order except for chronologically - how could one possibly rank such different artists?

Father and son fishing

First you need a run in the water, then you need to break away from it and pick up your feet.

Thank you all for visits, favs and comments! It's greatly appreciated.

Today we took Mia to the beautiful park at the Peaks of Otter and she got all caught up in the big wild world and started pretending to be a wolf.

It's been a while since I've posted anything on Flickr. I've been A) busy, and 2) learning more about my cameras. So - hello again :)

Learning to fish

I enjoy watching young birds such as these juvenile Black-crowned Night-herons learning necessary life skills. In this case the one on the left needs to improve its rock hopping before it can perfect its fishing skills.

Coming down is the hardest thing (Tom Petty)

But the claws are out. Not good☺

As promised! I used a tutorial by Cassandra Middles, and this is what I came up with!

My blog post can be seen here sohawtsl.wordpress.com/2019/02/26/some-things-you-cant-see/

And the link to her tutorial is in the description.

Let me know what you think.

“Recall the moment that recalls you,” the Core sang, its voice a melody braided from collapsing epochs. “It is older than stars, and younger than your next breath.”

The harmonics deepened.

“All time bends toward you. All time breaks because of you. All time begins again through you.

You will end what cannot end. You will begin what cannot begin. You will stand where time kneels.”

“I don’t understand,” Adrienne whispered. “Stop speaking in riddles. Just tell me what I’m supposed to do.”

The Core answered on a soft tone, “Stand upon the Ovum Stone… and open your mind.”

Adrienne looked down. At her feet rested an egg-shaped stone, smooth, pale, impossibly ancient — a relic of the first moment, humming with energy.

She stepped onto its center.

The floating rings around the Core shifted, descending through her body like luminous vertebrae. They passed into the ground beneath her. Her muscles loosened; her weight dissolved. She hovered above the stone, suspended in a cradle of unseen force.

Unfamiliar thoughts surged through her — not memories, but possibilities. Her arms rose on instinct. Lightning crackled around the Core, spiraling upward like a storm learning to speak.

Symbols flashed before her eyes, too fast to grasp, too old to name.

The voice whispered, “Stand before the sum of all moments. Every beginning is still beginning. Every ending has already ended. Every possibility exists in superposition.”

Adrienne didn’t know how she knew — but she knew. She was the conduit. She was the interface. She was the one who could command the Core.

“Time has now ceased,” the voice murmured.

All machinery froze. The ground shuddered once. Silence swallowed everything.

Adrienne hung suspended — not breathing, not feeling, only existing. Terror flooded her.

“What have I done…”

Moments — or eternities — passed.

Then the Core spoke again, no longer melodic, but absolute, “Begin the sequencing of moments.”

Conduits erupted with blue white chronal fire. Gears slowly began to rotate, aligning constellations of runes that had not been seen since the universe was young. Pendulums resumed their swing, counting centuries, correcting drift, stitching time back together.

A haze lifted from her. Breath returned. She collapsed to her knees, trembling, exhausted.

“Reset complete,” the Core intoned.

A pause. Then, almost gently, “Would you like me to foretell your future?”

Today’s bear picture is of a youngster (probably a year or two old) sitting and watching in search of what it is doing wrong…with a spattering of pity party mingled in.

The ranger assigned there to keep stupid people from doing stupid things said that the larger, thriving bears adapt several ways of catching the salmon where the scrawny ones concentrate all their time and effort on only one way to fish.

Some people could learn a lot from watching the bears!
