I've worked in a few kitchens in my lifetime. Or, should I say in another lifetime? To this day, I still get a kick out of poking my head into a restaurant kitchen, greeting the chefs and cooks, and snapping a photo or two as they work. I captured this image in the kitchen of the Copper Chimney in Mumbai, India. And, yes, the food was delicious and memorable! [Flickr Explore #81, August 3, 2021.]

“The ocean mist engulfs me,
like a lifetime’s friendship honored.”
― Sanober Khan, A touch, a tear, a tempest.
If I had a rose for every time I thought of you, I’d be picking roses for a lifetime. – Swedish Proverb
"Still I Rise"
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
-Maya Angelou-
"One Billion Rising is the biggest mass action to end violence against women (cisgender, transgender, and those who hold fluid identities that are subject to gender-based violence) in human history. (The reality that): 1 in 3 women across the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. That’s ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS. Every February, we rise – in countries across the world – to show our local communities and the world what one billion looks like and shine a light on the rampant impunity and injustice that survivors most often face. We rise through dance to express joy and community and celebrate the fact that we have not been defeated by this violence. We rise to show we are determined to create a new kind of consciousness – one where violence will be resisted until it is unthinkable."
I just need to have your love
J'ai juste besoin d'avoir ton amour
I just can't say no
Je ne peux simplement pas dire non
It's a gift from way above
C'est un cadeau du ciel
I just can't say no
Je ne peux simplement pas dire non
It's the one big difference
C'est la seule grande différence
If there's one thing I can have
S'il y a une chose que je peux avoir
I just can't say no
Je ne peux simplement pas dire non
I just can't say no
Je ne peux simplement pas dire non

The Al-Madras Trail is a hiking trail located in Petra, Jordan. It is a relatively short trail, taking about half a day to complete, and offers stunning views of the ancient city from a different perspective. The trail is named after the Arabic word for "oil press," as the area was once used for agriculture.
The trail starts just before you reach the Siq, the narrow gorge that leads to the main entrance of Petra. From there, it winds through the Wadi Al Madras, a valley that runs parallel to the Siq. Along the way, you will see a variety of Nabataean tombs and other archaeological features.
The highlight of the trail is the High Place of Sacrifice, a religious complex that sits on a hilltop overlooking Petra. The views from here are truly breathtaking.
Here are some additional things to know about the Al-Madras Trail:
It is not as well-marked as some of the other trails in Petra, so it is a good idea to have a map or guide.
The trail can be quite dusty, so it is a good idea to wear shoes with good traction.
There is no shade on the trail, so be sure to wear sunscreen and bring a hat.
The trail is not suitable for people with mobility issues.
If you are looking for a challenging and rewarding hike with amazing views, the Al-Madras Trail is a great option. Just be sure to be prepared for the heat and dust.

Mont Saint Michel is a small rocky islet, roughly one kilometer from the north coast of France at the mouth of the Couesnon River, near Avranches in Normandy, close to the border of Brittany. It is home to the unusual Benedictine Abbey Church (built between the 11th and 16th centuries) which occupies most of the one kilometer diameter clump of rocks jutting out of the ocean.
It is connected to the mainland via a thin natural land bridge, which before modernization was covered at high tide, and revealed at low tide. Thus, Mont Saint Michel gained a mystical quality, being an island half the time, and being attached to land the other : a tidal island.
In 708 the Archangel Michael appeared to Aubert, Bishop of Avranches, and commanded him to build a chapel on the top of Mont Tombe, a rocky island in the middle of an immense bay. Overawed by this apparition, Aubert obeyed and built a sanctuary to the glory of God and Archangel Michael.
Throughout its long history, Mont Saint Michel has had many roles. First a religious sanctuary with its monastic communities, it became a place of worship with its immense pilgrimages, a centre of intense academic activity with its production of manuscripts and illuminations, a symbol of national resistance with the glorious feats of arms of its knights and a formidable prison when the priests were ousted in the French Revolution of 1789, putting an end to the religious vocation of Mont Saint Michel.

After much love and care for over 4 years, one of my air plants has finally bloomed! 😃
Well, to my surprise, I just learned that air plants only bloom once in their lifetime. 😥
Once blooming is over, baby air plants will be produced, and they will eventually mature into their own “adult” air plant. 😊
Such a beautiful circle of life! 💖
PS: I recognize it's not the best photo. The light was flat yesterday, but I am too lazy to take another one today. Indoor flower macro shots are not easy to take IMO; I applaud all the macro photographers out there! 👏👏👏
A cabin along the Alaska Highway between Haines Junction, Yukon Territory, Canada and Tok, Alaska, USA.
Jack London was a man of adventure and action and an intense intellectual.
Oyster pirate, deep-sea sailor, hobo, Alaskan prospector In 1897 for the Klondike Gold Rush, he died when he was only forty, but he accomplished more in this short lifetime than most men could in several lifetimes.
Even if he found very little gold, he became a popular novelist and short story writer as : "The Call of the Wild" and "White Fang".
This is not the original Jack London’s cabin in the Klondike, in fact, two identical cabins have been constructed, each having half of the original logs : one to be erected at Jack London Square in Oakland, California and the other in Dawson City, Yukon Territory.

Every morning during the Corvid 19 lockdown I am walking around the lake in my local park just as the sun is coming up. It has brought some great opportunities to capture sunrises and to spend time with the wildlife. This particular pair of swans are a new pairing. The male had a lifetime mate and she died earlier this year. This was a sad event but the cob flew off and returned about a week later with a new mate. It is lovely to watch them together. I do not think we will have cygnets this year, but maybe next year we can look forward to them again.
Let the Honors Begin...

seeing and recording are almost simultaneous. His output is limited only by his ability to see. For this reason it has always been my belief that an experienced photographer, given the means to devote himself entirely to creative expression, should be able to produce a tremendous amount of valuable work.

Fruits of a lifetime
Gathered together
All experiences I have made
All the knowledge I have gained
All the goals I have accomplished
All the people I have met
All the words that have made an impact
For better and for worse
I'm feeling gratitude towards it all
If it hadn't been
I wouldn't be
Nothing couldn't have been undone
Even the worse parts
It all made me to the one I am today
To where I am today
Sometimes life surprises you in the nicest way. After a lifetime of having hyperactive small dogs that barked at the slightest noise, I now have a large, gentle dog that basically wags his tail at everyone. The joy he has brought me and the rest of the humans in my family grows every day. Long live Cooper, the wonder dog!

Sometimes love is just something very fragile, almost did not touch. But who of us feel it, enjoy it, receive it.
Do you want my love forever even a lifetime?
In 2011 it snowed here in the area we live, and people who have lived here for 50 years have not seen it ever happen, I was so glad that we could also have the opportunity to see it! www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/5442971/Wellingtons-on...
