Still not finding direction.
Which way to go?
Still flailing around in the dark.
Must I go so slow?
Still reaching out; to feel, to touch.
When will I stop groping for air and not finding much?
Oh to breathe a sigh of relief!
Oh gosh...there goes that elusive leaf...
I take solace in just one thing: Today's winter will eventually turn into tomorrow's renewed spring.
This was taken on an adventure with a good friend at Big Talbot Island on the Boneyard Beach. It was my first time among the driftwood. It was eerie and oh so beautiful. So much movement!
My imagination was intrigued and going a mile a minute. My mind tends to do that. Sometimes having an active imagination is helpful when creating and sometimes it is not. My friend encourages me to stay calm and focus of the things I can do. Sometimes all we can do is hold on during our storms in life. Today, I would encourage you all to focus on what is really important and don't let the little things distract you.
Thanks for your kind favs and comments! I'll come visit your thoughts and fine photos soon.

People like me fall in love too fast
Give their heart away, don't get it back
People like me like to overthink
Every little word, every little thing
Don't matter how much you calculatе
Someone will find something to hatе
So I'ma let it go, wanna be free
Of all the wondering, wondering
If people like me
Carcassonne Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Michel de Carcassonne) is a cathedral and designated national monument in Carcassonne, France. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Carcassonne and Narbonne. The building was built in the thirteenth century as a parish church, dedicated to Saint Michael. Following war damage in the fourteenth century it was rebuilt as a fortified church. In 1803 St. Michael's was elevated to cathedral status, replacing the earlier cathedral dedicated to Saints Nazarius and Celsus, now the Basilica of St. Nazaire and St. Celse. St. Michael's is used by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcassonne_Cathedral

Mindy Top by Newphe — casual chic, with a wink 🌸
There’s something about slipping into the Mindy Top that instantly lifts my mood. I pull it on and it hugs me just right—soft, smooth, and confidently playful. The silhouette is clean and modern: a strapless, bandeau-style cut that gently contours the bust, fitted without feeling restrictive, shaping without ever trying too hard. Cropped perfectly at the waist, it shows just enough skin to feel fresh, youthful, and effortlessly cool.
The fabric looks sleek, silky, and lightly stretchy. The minimalist finish and streamlined shape make it endlessly versatile, whether I’m styling it with denim shorts, a relaxed mini, or layered under an open cardigan for an easy day-to-night look.
One of my favorite features is the HUD, which lets this top match my mood in seconds. With multiple silk-screened statement options—ranging from playful to bold—I can decide exactly how much attitude I want to bring that day. Soft neutrals and flirty pinks combine with graphic text details, turning a simple bandeau into a statement piece that always feels current and fun.
✨ A nod to fashion history:
The bandeau top traces its roots from 1940s resortwear through 1990s minimalist street style—favored by women who understood that confidence doesn’t need excess. It’s a silhouette that has always belonged to those who appreciate simplicity with intention.
👖 Casual-chic styling tips I swear by:
Do's:
* Pair with high-waisted denim, tailored trousers, or a relaxed mini
* Layer with a cropped jacket, fuzzy shrug, or open cardigan
* Keep accessories minimal—small hoops, soft glam makeup, effortless hair
Don'ts:
* Over-accessorize around the neckline
* Size down too aggressively—the beauty is in the smooth, natural fit
* Overthink it—this top thrives in simplicity
💗 Compatible mesh bodies:
* Legacy
* Legacy Perky
* Legacy Bombshell
* LaraX
* PetiteX
* Reborn
* Waifu

Final fashion advice:
Let your clothes support your confidence—not compete with it. When a piece feels this easy to wear, you’re already doing it right. 💕

... and sometimes it's good not to overthink, just point and shoot....
I had just been to this beach the previous evening and was looking forward to a casual night at home but high clouds streaming in over Marin looked too promising to ignore. Off to the beach again! No need to overthink things. I set up at this popular spot with the primary subject right smack in the center of the frame. I especially liked the way the white veins of quartz in the foreground rocks mimic the surrounding water channels. It wasn't until after the sun slipped below the horizon that the high clouds above were painted with intense pink and orange light. The burn lasted long enough to wait for a more powerful wave to sweep high up the beach. It was a good winter evening in Northern California.

I'm trying to catch up on this project. I'm still a couple weeks behind, but I have pictures from them that still need to be edited.
I could consider this a part of my "home" series, since I made myself a home among those plants that I saw, but it feels so different from the others that I'm not sure if it should be included.
I shot this on a foggy day, by myself, in the cold, and it was just the self portrait therapy I needed. I ventured out to a field that I've been wanting to shoot at since I've been back at school and pass by all the time. It was the right time to shoot, and I've been overthinking a lot so I just went out and did it. I think that was all I needed, but I'm getting back into planned shoots, and I'm excited to share them with all you soon.
Hi! I'm posting after a little break. From time to time, I need those moments for thinking, reading, learning, listening other voices, admiring others' work, growing, and focusing.
During these days, I discovered Sean Tucker's work and YouTube channel, and one video particularly touched my heart: Photograph what makes you happy. I loved the message.
Some days I tend to overthink what to post (perfectionist here). The reality is that I love Nature, and some days I will capture flowers or bugs, trees or animals, other days I love landscapes, some days I like simplicity. I love taking photos of my kids too and I could continue.
From now on, I will post what makes me happy, hoping to brighten your day in some way with my work.

Again, I'm drawn to views that already have a 'frame' (like on my last visit to the building site in Shoreham). Maybe I'm just letting the buildings I visit do the work for me, but I'm always keen to show the world as it is - if you were standing where I was, this is exactly what you would have been looking at.
Maybe I'm overthinking it.

London, August 1997. Some photographs don’t need an explanation—they come with their own soundtrack.
A black cab, evening traffic, the soft blur of the city settling into twilight, and Michela waiting with that wonderfully calm expression that suggests either infinite patience… or complete confidence that the taxi was definitely for us.
This is London in its purest shorthand: the iconic cab, the layered movement of buses and city lights, the sense that everything is in motion even when you’ve decided to stand still for a second.
I didn’t overthink this shot. Sometimes travel photography works best when you simply recognize a scene that already knows exactly what it is. The black cab plays its starring role, naturally—but Michela manages the rare feat of making one of London’s most recognizable symbols look like background decoration.
Quite an achievement, really.

Londra, agosto 1997. Alcune fotografie non hanno bisogno di spiegazioni—arrivano già con una colonna sonora.
Un black cab, il traffico della sera, il leggero sfocato della città che si sistema nel crepuscolo, e Michela in attesa con quell’espressione meravigliosamente tranquilla che suggerisce o infinita pazienza… o assoluta certezza che quel taxi fosse decisamente per noi.
Questa è Londra nella sua forma più immediatamente riconoscibile: il taxi iconico, il movimento stratificato di bus e luci cittadine, quella sensazione che tutto sia in movimento anche quando per un secondo hai deciso di fermarti.
Non ho pensato troppo a questo scatto. A volte la fotografia di viaggio funziona meglio quando riconosci semplicemente una scena che sa già perfettamente cosa vuole essere. Il black cab interpreta naturalmente il suo ruolo da protagonista—ma Michela riesce nella rara impresa di trasformare uno dei simboli più riconoscibili di Londra in semplice scenografia.
Un risultato non da poco, in effetti.

"Uh-uh, uh-uh, unstable
Sometimes I think I overthink (think I)
And I start to feel anxiety (anxie-)
There were times I couldn't even breathe (mmm)
But you never once abandoned me (no, you never, ooh)
I tried to scare you, scare you away
Showed you the door, you adored me anyway
When I was broken in pieces
You were my peace of mind
You were my peace of mind
Yeah, you loved, yeah, you loved
Yeah, you loved me when I was unstable
Never judged, never judged
Never judged me when I was unable
To love myself, to trust myself
Yeah, you loved, yeah, you loved
Yeah, you loved me when I was unstable
White knuckles tryna own my sanity (hold my)
Not every wound is the kind that bleeds, uh, uh
Never know when my mind's gonna turn on me (never know)
But you're the one I call for security (oh, baby)
These memories have been toxic (oh)
I tried to wean and get off it (oh)
Through everything, you been my rock
I think you're the only thing I didn't get wrong
Oh, I know God was listening
Every night when I would pray
You're an angel watchin' over me (oh)
All I need
I tried to scare you, scare you away
Showed you the door, you adored me anyway
When I was broken in pieces
You were my peace of mind
You were my peace of mind
Yeah, you loved, yeah, you loved
Yeah, you loved me when I was unstable
Never judged, never judged
Never judged me when I was unable
To love myself, to trust myself
Yeah, you loved, yeah, you loved
Yeah, you loved me when I was unstable"
I finally went mirrorless and bought a Nikon Z8. I was waiting for a mirrorless Nikon in my price range that had all the capabilities of my D850. The Z*8 is definitely that and then some.
Today was my first day using it and man, do I need to practice. I'm probably overthinking the autofocus options and I was struggling a little today. I don't know what I was doing wrong but the subject detection just wasn't sticking I guess I might need to actually read the manual.

Indecision is the unsettling state of being stuck between choices, where hesitation overrides clarity. It often stems from fear—fear of making the wrong move, missing out, or facing consequences. In this limbo, time slips by as overthinking takes the place of action, leaving a person feeling anxious, powerless, or frustrated. Though meant to avoid mistakes, indecision can become its own kind of failure, halting growth and momentum.
Or for us older people "just not remembering why you came into town".

Batik on habotai silk
60cm x 60cm
Currently in the International Year of Batik Exhibition at Rugby Art Gallery and Museum in Warwickshire until 10th August.
A lot of my recent work is quite experimental, deliberately aiming to bypass the thought process and allowing for a more intuitive expression.
I took the unusual step of posting the work stage by stage on Facebook www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1328414350&locale=en_GB
Creating work this way is like stepping into the unknown and I like that. No boundaries, just unlimited possibilities.
I know and understand the medium of batik very well, so I can make marks and textures well enough without any overthinking.
One of the things that I've always loved about this medium is the element of chance that comes with the unique interaction of wax resist and dyes. Add to that mix wonderful textural black mono-print marks, discharged browns of potassium permanganate and all the resultant chemical interactions and changes to the fibre structure, the overlaying of procion dye colours in successive wax removals and re-workings and that chance element takes on another dimension.
Moonchild was created with a sense of playfulness and spontaneity.
It reflects back to me all of the thoughts, feelings, emotions and ideas that have gone before into an almost human form, iconic, caught somewhere between the digital and analogue, spirit striving for form. An apparition.
Inside our brains is a labyrinth of records. Only you could know how far it goes. Whether it is a limited or unlimited space is in your hands. Hold onto em for as long as you can (good or bad ones, both can make you a more experienced individual).
So there was a room at hopscotch that I initially didn't intend to explore for reasons that should be obvious to more then a few individuals, it was a ball pit (shocker). As expected there were smaller kids going in with their parents, which was already a red flag. I saw another photographer in there though so I thought I'd suck it up (plus if I remember correctly she had a Nikon, wasn't about to be shown up like that as a proud Canon user).
The balls were see through with the LED lights underneath. I got low and waded through. I got a perfectly aligned shot but as I was experimenting, I also got a slanted shot and I kinda like it more. Doesn't help that as the LED was changing colors, I got it mid-transition while trying this angle, adding to the need to make this the official shot. Did almost nothing in editing except maybe turn the contrast up. I didn't eliminate the black area cause I think it contributes to the unusual nature of this shot.
Still haven't gotten ringworm, but I would still advise against walking into any ball pits. Just shoot from the side. Or maybe I'm trying way too hard to overthink how to present this (always needing to write these elongated entries). Searching my brain for any semblance of creativity after I think flickr drained it from me over the past couple of months. Not giving up, but could be overthinking or rambling. My memories are not as strong as they used to be.

Evening arrived and the light turned warm. Flybys were constant. Most of the feeding shorebirds - principally Red-necked Phalaropes and Semipalmated Sandpipers - were in the paler, shallow water. When I saw the two American Avocets coming, I had just enough time to raise my camera, focus, and compose before they flew across the patch of darker blue. This separated them nicely from the background. One of those intuitive moments when I guessed correctly what would happen and how it would look. I can be guilty of "overthink", so sometimes not having time to think at all is a good thing...
That's the female in front, with the more pronounced curve to her bill; the male is following. I was lucky to get both up and down wing positions in this shot.

"This town is filled with retired lesbian doctors," she said, with a bit too much enthusiasm. Or maybe I was overthinking it.
If life ever pulled one of those poetic curveballs, one of those “pack your board, we’re dropping you on an abandoned island” kind of deals, and told me I could only take one piece of music, just a single melody to echo across the empty shoreline… I already know how it would go.
I wouldn’t panic. I wouldn’t overthink it. I’d just feel that familiar tug in my chest, that homesick-but-happy California heartbeat, and instantly know the artist. It would have to be Blink-182. No hesitation. That band helped wire my DNA.
But the song?
Yeah, that took a minute.
Because picking just one Blink track is like standing at the edge of the ocean with a whole set rolling in, every wave good, each one carrying its own memory, its own moment, its own little spark of who you were when you first heard it.
And after thinking about it, replaying albums in my head like some internal mixtape from a life spent half in the water and half in the chaos of growing up… it had to be “The Rock Show.”
That song is youth.
It’s summer pavement still warm under your feet.
It’s the windows down on the San Diego freeway before anyone called it nostalgia.
It’s the soundtrack of skating until your legs burn, of late-night beach hangs, of falling stupidly in love with some girl laughing under neon venue lights.
I grew up on this band, hell, their songs are stitched into the back of every chapter of my life like salt into a wetsuit. They hype me up, they calm me down, and they always get me moving. Blink has been in my Spotify Top 5 so consistently that at this point it’s basically a personality trait.
So if I’m being shipped off to some lonely spit of sand in the middle of nowhere, just me, a surfboard, and the sound of the tide for company…
Yeah. I’m taking Blink-182 with me.
Here’s to The Rock Show, to California nights, and to the girl at the rock show who somehow lives forever in three chords and a chorus.
As for the tags... Emi, Abbeh, and Navy. You're up.

So, there we were. Two strangers, one room. I am not the shy type, usually, but she was different. She got under my skin, you know? Deep in there but slowly, like a soft, velvet blade. Was I overthinking it? Maybe. Thinking too much has always been a weakness of mine. But every once in a while, things work out in ways you don't expect, ways that are not immediate, or obvious. Tonight was one of those ambiguous nights.

The emotion, the rhythm, the atmosphere - it pulled me in. I didn’t overthink it. I just let instinct take the lead.
This wasn’t about perfection or planning - it was about exploration. I let the music guide me through visuals, through movement, through feeling. I tried something different, and honestly, it was a blast I couldn't expect. The whole process reminded me that creativity doesn’t have to follow a formula. Sometimes it’s just about showing up, tuning in, and creating from a place of curiosity.
Needed something different, and here it is.
I hope you enjoy the result as much as I enjoyed the process. Cause sometimes it's not about the final destination. It's about the journey. May it take you somewhere unexpected.
Have a safe travel.

...typically gets the worm. On this day though, despite an early start, this photographer got partially side lit, partially backlit scraps.
Despite a late night shooting time exposures in Williams, I was up and out of the hotel before dawn and was bouncing down the ranch roads north of Ash Fork when the sun made its first appearance over the tall mesas to the east. My goal was to spend the morning crossing another name off of my list of Seligman Sub locations that I had missed on my previous trip; Eagle Nest.
Eagle Nest, Arizona is one of three control points on the 'Crookton Cutoff' line change that the Santa Fe opened in 1960. The cutoff is typified by wide, sweeping curves through deep cuttings, or over high fills. Eagle Nest has these in spades, with the added appeal of red lava rock, and flagstone. Photo angles are virtually unlimited, provided you are willing to take a walk, hike, or drive to gain elevation above the line.
One this day, one angle in particular was my goal. The shot that trumps the rest is a view of a westbound, through the 's' curve between MP 408 and 410. 'Over the shoulder' lighting would occur around 14:30 that day, but a dramatic backlit shot was possible not long after dawn. The prior year I had reached East Eagle Nest not long before dusk, and promptly got my rental stuck, then up on three wheels. This experience left me gunshy about the direct route to the vantage point. With a year to think, and overthink my options, I made the mistake of taking a 'creative' route along some range roads which appeared in better condition than the BNSF access road; at least on a map, and in satellite imagery. My alternate route cost me about an hours time, traversing much rougher roads and trails than I would have if I had just gone the direct route.
As a result I missed two of the three westbounds that had passed through Flagstaff earlier, before a long work block held up traffic for several hours. As what would turn out to be the only westbound that I would see that morning approached, I heard the roar of locomotives escaping the deep cutting beside me. An eastbound stack train charged up the grade, and onto the scene just as the westbound's headlights appeared. I ended up capturing a neat scene, despite the less than ideal lighting due to my late arrival.
