Thanks for stopping by.

There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on

the feelings as now in October.

 

-- Nathaniel Hawthorne

No está todo lo nítida que quisiera debido al movimiento rápido que hizo, pero me parece una toma distinta y un momento curioso cazando esa mosca.

maybe the last one this year.

Garden, The Netherlands

In joy or sadness flowers are our constant friends.

A drift of buttercups accent a density of green...

It was deep afternoon when shadows begin to grow, light becomes gold, and you realize that this particular day has reached its destiny. Like old age, it’s not yet over, but there’s no denying the time of day.

But I remember more dearly autumn afternoons in bottoms that lay intensely silent under old great trees.

 

-- C. S. Lewis

  

A little of the sky is reflected in the water. So peaceful and calm.

老壶上着气,冬天的寒颤被那股子劲儿蒸发了一些,有一阵没一阵的会发出点声响,就像有一肚子故事却说不清楚的糊涂老人。【 去年冬天我和这老壶的缘分】

O sol nasce em Lisboa.

for not being around much. Yesterday, 28th January, we suffered an extremely close family bereavement, so I am not able to be on Flickr very much. Please forgive my absences. You are all very special to me, but this is something which has devastated us. (My husband's son died suddenly at the age of 48 from an unknown cause. He was buried yesterday, 8th January - a moving and wonderful experience - but painful, as you can imagine.)

 

Thanks so much for your understanding and I hope things will return to normal before too long. Meanwhile, I hope you like this painting of Windermere under thick cloud.

Cruising the spring shoreline offers a myriad of photo ops, the eye moving from spot to spot, the ear taking in the variety of sounds a wilderness provides. The challenge always becomes one of deciding which image of many deserves further attention after initial review...as well as keeping the canoe stable and in position for the shot. Here an example in which I tried to avoid ripples from the canoe while avoiding moving into the scene itself. (SOOC)

Thank you to all for your kind words at this most difficult time. Your friendship and thoughts, and, yes, even prayers, are greatly appreciated and provide welcome solace.

 

I've always found that one effective way to counteract grief is to stay involved with one's routines and habits as much as possible. They provide needed distraction. For me, Flickr is certainly that and serves the purpose well.

leave me a smile

just warm enough...

to spend a million

golden afternoons in.

Wie vangt nu wie?

Ik moet net zo voorzichtig bewegen en focussen als hij...

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose control.
