Marqs DeSade, Held Together By Duct Tape
I’ve turned the corner.
Not dramatically. No wind machine. No swelling orchestral score.
Just a quiet pivot.
I miss her.
Still.
Always.
But today, I remembered that missing someone doesn’t mean falling apart like a dollar-store lawn chair.
It means loving them enough to stay upright-even if you’re held together with emotional duct tape and three leftover pizza crusts.
So I sat on the dock, wearing a tank top that says Never GIVE UP!
Because sometimes your clothes have to do the motivational speaking when your heart’s curled up in a hoodie whispering “meh.”
The birds flew overhead like they were judging me.
The sailboat drifted by, purple sails catching a wind I couldn’t feel.
And I thought:
I owe it to her.
To the love that made me want to be better, funnier, more patient, and slightly less dramatic about socks.
(Still dramatic. Just less.)
This is day six
I'm still here.
I'm wearing a kinda shirt.
Holding it together (mostly)
Realizing she will return soon, and I will soon have to start cleaning the house. Not today.. but soon.

Into the thick of it with stinging smoke in your eye's and your vision impaired by the heavy smoke, your only companions are the men beside you as you fight one of the world's best trained armies; the British Army during our Revolutionary War.

Sign seen on the Biltmore Estate beside the French Broad River. The Asheville Marathon is today, March 15th, and will benefit various charities. This sign is on the approach to the 22nd mile marker of the 26.2 mile course.
However, I didn't know any of this yesterday when I spotted this sign. I took it as a much-needed message to me personally. :-)
I am grateful.
Lenticular clouds above Schreckhorn mountain (4,078 m) in the Bernese Alps as seen from Faulhorn (2,681m) summit. It was raining for the most part of the day and we were lucky to escape the heavy hail near the summit, so the chances to see some decent (if any) sunset were really slim. However, just before the sun went down the skies cleared and we had a good 15-20 minutes of the amazing sunset light.
So I guess never give up :)

STAY STRONG - NEVER GIVE UP
A place for all cancer fighters, survivors, warriors
This brave little mallard duck was forging ahead out on the frozen Fox River in Batavia, Illinois on this brisk Valentine's Day morning. Temperatures ranged from -4F to +3F, or -20C to -16C using the other arbitrary scale.
The recovery continues and I owe you all my continued thanks for your patience and well wishes.... It means a lot to know that my little musings and images are seen and read by others who offer so much in return as good will and friendship. Thank you so.

It really is amazing how well these guys or "snow quails" blend into their habitat and surroundings. This is true both in summer and winter. I've been lucky enough to see them in both plumages in my life. I have to say the winter one is my fave. Sometimes when this hen stood still we complete;y lost her. The young birders and I found 5 of them (a hen with chicks) on our last field trip. It has been a nemesis bird for our youth group for far too long and a lifer for most of them! We walked a total of 13 km to see these guys and it was worth every minute!
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
Pushing with all her might, Caroline raised the top of the feeder. It sat on her head like a little helmet. But she was IN and it had been worth all the effort.

54 days of amazingness, shot yesterday. This tiny bird is a pure joy. Here he is kindly posing for me, proudly showing how he can now securely stand on a perch.
On Dec. 22 he will be 2 months old, a very important goal.
In this super macro can be seen one of his several sweet expressions, how his plumes are particularly fluffy and voluminous and he has so many, more than any other Lovebird in my Family. Belly and face are mainly light yellow, I will try to take a super macro to show his amazing colours in the back and tail.
Although he has been unfortunate at birth, Nature gifted him with many talents, a lively smartness, tons of stubborness to learn and improve his growing steps in life and an incredible beauty.

These trees seem to survive anything! Fire, lightening strikes, soil erosion, wind, rain, snow, drought...you name it. I loved its indomitable spirit and wanted to capture it as a moment in time. NEVER GIVE UP....zoom in for all the textures, details, and colours.
Taken at Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah...one amazing place!

Novembre 2014.
Photographed at the age of 47 days, on Decembre 9 2023, this is what revealed to be a marvelous creature,
my beautiful little Lovebird Angel MICRO! Just one day after the date of this photo he begun to fly!
Here, Micro is portrayed in a bed of panic seeds, his most preferred seeds in the way of weaning. Presently, at the age of 52 days, he can walk pretty well, climb and also stand (still with some difficulties) on the perches.
He still eats the baby food but probably, when he will be 2 months old, he will be weaned, with a delay of 2/3 weeks from the usual standards. We adopted a Lovebird mate to teach him and keep him company. Her name is Gigia, she is a fantastic friend full of cares for Micro. We don't know yet if Micro is male of female...
Micro, born on Oct. 22 2023, from Violetta (purple mutation), and Juri (a creamy yellow). They abandoned the nest for mysterious reasons, the hatching from the 10th day has been assigned to my couple of cockatiels in love Sconsy flic.kr/p/2kWCWam & Sconso,
who can't have children. When Micro was born, they didn't know yet how to feed him, so we gave him to the cares of the Lovebird couple Biondina & Jeanpierre who fed him but he could not grow, so at 1 week of age, to resque him we have forcedly taken care personally of feeding him while he lived in a warmed incubator for a whole month.
Considering his delay in growing and the objective handicap at his legs, although aware this was a desperate operation, it worked out and now Micro is in excellent health & cognitive conditions :-)
(I've written his whole story & progresses in growth in my last 2 comments below this previous photo:
www.flickr.com/photos/white-angel/53320599909/ )
Good news: the cockatiel couple took care of hatching 2 eggs of another cockatiel couple too, Bella & Nello, who don't want
(or don't know yet how) to hatch. Two sweet puppies are recently born and this time Sconsy & Sconso engaged in feeding them!
Two more lives resqued, their wish to become parents came true and what the beautiful puppy creatures!
(Soon a photo post, when they will be grown enough for a photo shooting).
