I've never been very much on making plans and setting goals. Oh... sure... I've made them and set them in the past. But I never follow through so... what the heck's the point? Plus, I've found that happenstance is frequently my friend so... I'm pretty much content to just let life happen.
It's funny thinking back on all the many things I thought I wanted, and wanted to be, growing up... all the different jobs and professions I considered... not to mention the days I cursed the simple fact of having choices. In my mother's day, things were simpler, I thought. If you chose to do something other than raise kids and/or look after some man, your choices were relatively limited - the conventional ones being nurse, teacher, nun.
By the time I was on the scene, everything had changed. My parents told me constantly that I could be and do absolutely anything I wanted. Nice. But also... aacck... highly pressurized. Anything? Geez. You mean I have to choose from an infinite number of options? It was pretty overwhelming, especially since the things to which I naturally gravitated all seemed problematic.
I wanted to be a poet. My mom said: impractical.
I wanted to be a philosopher. My parents assured me: not at all viable if you want to eat on a regular basis.
Then I wanted to be a vet. Until I learned about medical school and the long taxing hours that would have to be got through.
At one point, I honestly thought I'd want to do AI - artificial insemination. It seemed rather "vet lite"... and the AI guys who came to our farm to inseminate our cows seemed to have a pretty spiffy life... driving around the countryside with a trunk full of frozen semen, putting on the long glove and reaching way inside a beast... bringing together the first two key ingredients in a brand new life... and then driving on to do the same thing somewhere else.
Then I got older and lazier. I started assessing career options based on the length and complexity of the required preparation. Interior designer, I thought at one point. I figured I could be done with the training and working and supporting myself well before my 20th birthday. Then I took a related course in high school. Ha-a-a-ted it. And decided to just chuck the whole career idea entirely.
Most of what's happened since has been accidental. Or coincidental. Or whatever you want to call it.
It may be sad from a certain perspective, but many of the major changes in my life were precipitated, over the years, by partnerships with men.
I took my first radio job - not because I loved the work, but because it would bring me closer to my then-boyfriend.
Years later, I moved to The Big City and took a job there to be with another boyfriend.
Ultimately, I left radio entirely and moved here, to the Island, to be with Husband Mike. And I'm certainly not complaining; it's all worked out.
So I wasn't at all surprised when I saw this pic. It was completely unintentional... but I love what resulted. This was from Friday, when I was gearing up for the knife shot. My dear little fuzzy friend was nearby, as always. I'd already triggered the shutter... on a timer... when she walked into the shot and sat there looking at me... all ears and quizzical eyes. I started laughing... and she turned to face the camera just as it clicked.
Anyway... like I said... I'm a fan of happenstance. So this is my little tribute to it.
And really... what's better than going through life knowing that you never know - and can't know - what great thing will happen next?? Bring it on.
When I do crap like this, I hold down the shutter button and click away. SO, that being said, I did not erase the bottom of the flow, it's what the camera captured.

These are new buds on my favourite corkscrew hazelnut tree in a community garden near me.
I haven't been online for four days so am way behind on commenting. I will try to catch up with your latest images soon :)
The lovely ocotillo (Fouquieria splendens) bloom was captred at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, AZ. "Macro Mondays" and "Negative Space"
Macro Mondays 23/01/17 theme It's A-Peeling To Me.So to begin with I the idea was going to be a simple photo of black tape being peeled from a white background but the results were a little to simple.So next I thought about putting a object behind and have it reveiled by the peeled backed tape but what object was small enough and had something to do with the word peel.Then I had a thought why not photograph my eye.So I taped across a piece of glass cut the tape and peeled it back and the with my camera connected to my computer I used remote capture to try and get the shot I wanted.Easier said than done,with lighting issues,holding the glass,trying to focus whilst looking at the computer screen and taking the shot I gave up and went for the easier option of taking two seperate shots ond putting them together in PS.

"Yes, more ducks! 😉 I'll be back to catch up with you...have a beautiful day!
"Meerkats live in the deserts and grasslands of the southern tip of Africa. They are extremely cute, with bushy, brown-striped fur, a small, pointed face, and large eyes surrounded by dark patches. They average about 20 inches (50 centimeters) long, including their tail.
One or more members of the mob is always on sentry duty – standing on a high point like a stump or termite mound. They stand on their hind legs and utilise their keen vision to spot threats. To notify the mob of danger, the sentry will deliver a high pitched squeal, sending the mob scrambling for cover"
Crazy Tuesday theme: Negative-Space
Thank you everyone for your kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated.
Between the two districts of Imperia, Oneglia and Porto Marizio, there is a beautiful palace, all in white (hardly marble), which is now used by Telecom. As I let my gaze wander over the chapter of the building, a lone seagull looked down as if it were the master of the house. Of course, this gave a minimalist shot.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is an orange day at Color my world Daily and we have a very cool theme at Crazy Tuesday : negative space. Of course, Mr. Teddy Bear is with us, since he loves Happy Teddy Bear Tuesdays (and so do I).
If you don’t know that yet, Mr. Teddy Bear is a very, very positive character. So when he heard that the theme was all about negative space, he started to wonder how we can turn this negative space into a positive picture. We had a brain storm on how to turn a negative into a positive. After several hours, few gin and tonics, lots of coffee and Nutella, the answer appeared like by magic. We have to take a picture of something very, very positive and smile inducing, surrounded by all that negative space. And what is smile inducing each time we see it? M. Teddy Bear with an umbrella.
So here, we go, Mr. Teddy bear pretending to be Mary Poppins. And juste like this all negative space becomes very positive, don’t you think ?
See you later !! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
A brief description:
Anhedonia is the inability or reduced ability to feel pleasure. When a person suffers from anhedonia, they lose interest in the activities, hobbies, or experiences they used to love. Anhedonia makes relationships a struggle and a chore, no matter how close the people were before it manifested. It comes in two distinct flavors:
* Social anhedonia - when someone does not want to engage with other people and becomes withdrawn.
* Physical anhedonia - when someone does not derive physical joy from physical actions. For example, a hug can leave them feeling cold or empty.

I had some spare time when i was taking this shot so i thought i write down what i did and took a picture it's in the first comment box
Placed the Bus on a white wall tile shot at 1/200th at F11
Taken with off camera flash, pointed upwards to bounce flash off the ceiling with the deflector up on the flash to make the shadow of the bus, also place the Flash on a candle to so that the shadow was not to long.
Old note pad used to reflect some light back towards bus
Cuore Cosa Fai — Papik & Francesca Gramegna
Heart, what are you doing
that you are all alone.
The sun is high and already shining
on the city.
In the dark you won't heal,
don't stay there, listen to me.
Beyond the glass maybe there is
one for you, for you.
At least look down
and among the people you will see
there is always one, one that
it's like you.
An anonymous face that knows
what is ingratitude,
and a word will find
for you too, for you.
And then you go,
you haven't lost anything yet.
To another life, another love
never give.
The high sun is already shining
on whose anonymous face
can steal another yes,
another yes.
The world is there.
It is there.
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with others; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.
― Herman Melville
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying.

Crazy Tuesday: "Negative Space" theme
HCT
I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's waters
Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders
Unrepenting, often empty
Sail on, sail on sailor
“Don't Just
Don't just learn, experience.
Don't just read, absorb.
Don't just change, transform.
Don't just relate, advocate.
Don't just promise, prove.
Don't just criticize, encourage.
Don't just think, ponder.
Don't just take, give.
Don't just see, feel.
Don’t just dream, do.
Don't just hear, listen.
Don't just talk, act.
Don't just tell, show.
Don't just exist, live.”
Poem ― Roy T. Bennett
