This lovely necklace was a wedding gift given to Di’s Grandmother Beatrice from her new husband James. I have placed it on a small reproduction of Nymphéas by Monet I found in an art book.

Leaf shutter, flash, inbuilt ND filter - a glorious combination. Warning: do not let technology distract you from the subject matter!
Once again craning from a perch aboard the ferry home, this time has me viewing from the port side. The sun is brilliant, overhead and I am witness to a powerful opportunity. There is very little color so a B&W photo becomes the goal. At its peak, the cloud is incredibly white, while the island in its depths, is in shadow and almost black. The contrast is wonderful and makes for a very dynamic result.
The shape too adds to the overall energy of the image. A triangle is a very strong shape in photography, and this moment cooperates in form. I am not concerned with depth, but instead both shape and contrast. And, as good fortune would have it, the grey sky delivers the ideal palette.
My Partner and I have been together for 19 Years and decided to make it legal and official today....I am now known as Mrs Janet Cartwright ..
I caught these two eagles screaming at each other. I have no idea what their problem was.
I have observed some basic principles about healthy marriages throughout the last six decades. Nearly every married couple is eager to get advice about their marriage, especially when their marriage is fresh and young. As the years go by, the eagerness wanes for most.
However, here's one thing I have learned: married couples need to know how to get their point across to their mate. Sometimes couples will pray about problems, some will do research and present their viewpoint logically while others just wing it and hope for the best.
But I have noticed that the most effective couples have one of the partners who knows how to couple emotional attachment to their argument and simply go head to head and let it rip.
A successful marriage requires
falling in love many times,
always with the same person.

My twin daughters gave these tiny dolls to Freya (their elder sister) and Sam on their wedding day (October 28, 2016).
Last Tuesday, July 10 2018, Freya gave birth to our first grandchild:
a boy named Eli! :-)

Marriages are long cumbersome tiring and very expensive affair in Pakistan... but boy are they fun !
“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person”
Marriage statistics are disheartening to look at.
Half of marriages end in divorce. It's a fact, but it isn't the full reality. The statistics don't even take "seperations" into account. A lot of people are legally married and yet no longer together. It just costs too much money for the lawyer fees and they don't want to deal with the hassle. I know 3 couples that are in that situation.
So MORE than half of marriages fail.
Yet people are getting married every day even though the odds are clearly against them succeeding.
Why is that?
I guess it's for the same reason Eric and I got married. We want to believe that we're going to be the small percentage bracket that makes it to the end. The old couple on the park bench holding hands and gazing into eachother's sagging watery eyes still with the love and passion that we feel today.
I really believe we will. You can chalk it up to youthful idealism, but thats how I feel in my heart. I look forward to growing old with Eric.
I found these Tiny dolls in a small box of knick knacks I unpacked today. I'm not sure where they came from! I used them to test out the macro function on my Nikon.
It's hard to ignore how they both look a little afraid and uneasy.
I love this- on a beach at a Resort in the Dominican Republic they have a set up for couples to get married. They stand there facing the ocean with the Banana boat shipwreck in the distance. How many grooms have wanted to RUN instead of saying their vows while staring at a shipwreck. PLEASE VIEW LARGE TO SEE SHIPWRECK! I feel the title says volumes! Happy Holidays Everyone, and for those of you who are not overly PC Merry Christmas!

A marriage of state is a diplomatic marriage or union between two members of different nation-states or internally, between two power blocs, usually in authoritarian societies and is a practice which dates back to ancient times, as far back as early Grecian cultures in western society, and of similar antiquity in other civilizations. A Marriage of State often involved surrendering a female member of a ruling line to gain peace or shore up alliances of state between nation-states headed by small oligarchies or acknowledged royalty. -- Courtesy Wikipedia
"Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day." -Barbara De Angelis
OK, it's been done before. I get that. But it's also a compositional idea that appears simple and one I wanted to try for myself. With today a write-off through rain, I decided to give it a whack.
Two hours later I finally got the shot I envisaged, with the assistance of the kitchen bench, a black shirt, a torch, a tissue to muffle the torchlight, a ring, an old book by Balzac (the source of the title), a wireless remote, tripod, a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III and a Canon EF 85mm f1.2L II lens.
Please type "L" for a much better view.
When the groom goes to pick up the bride from her house,
the daughter crying, because he leaves forever his father's house,
and until she goes to the groom's house, she is very sad.
But there she dances with her beloved,
and finally smiles at her new life!

Not sure what kind of person would make a marriage proposal in graffiti on an abandoned grain elevator. Perhaps it is the kind of person who would add "Let us be Wild and Free".

Autumn Marriage, Autumn Love
A poem by Richard Hemenway
This year the Fall has seemed to linger long
Upon the earth and in the balmy air,
Like the singer who so loves their song
That they sing on though there be none to share.
The leaves are changing slow in subtle tints,
The grass is in no hurry to turn brown,
The night air whispers just the smallest hints
That we will soon be seeking wool and down.
So should we make our time together last
Having less than most husbands and wives:
Celebrating, after mistakes done and past,
Our marriage in the autumn of our lives.
Though every Season must, in time, give way,
We'll reap a long Love's Harvest while we may.
