A rainy day with Photoshop instead of camera. For my album "Creativity, Close-up and Macro". Take a look !
Last week sometime, there was some activity on an old photo from a few years back. So I went to the photo and looked at some of the contacts and saw a name of a lady I had not seen in my stream for some time.
So I visited her stream to see what she had been up to knowing that sometimes people just stop posting for some reason or another. Someone commented that she had passed away and I immediately felt saddened. I realize that we have only small relationships here. But I do know some small things about my contacts and what you like to shoot and basically where you live.
I was upset with myself for having forgotten her or not noticing. I have been bothered all week that a year or more have gone by and I wish I had of known.
Yet her stream is there. This I love.

Blessed is the water
in the stone fountain
and blessed be the light
on the water and the hymn
of the city rising and falling
as lights change, as cars wait
and pedestrians walk, as walkers
wait and taxis lurch, go-slow-stop,
shamrock green, amber, bloody
crimson, bike courier cruising,
metro bus, delivery trucks and
whose dog has shed his leash
and what of the baby rat
at the trash buffet and here
is the one-armed gimme gimme
man at his office under the awning,
his empty can clinking if it's payday
as passersby try not to notice
and pass by, but the busker
with his toy ukulele is strumming
up business, scatting in tongues,
jive talking to himself as if he
is light years away from 5th Ave,
center city, Madison Gardens
not so square anymore, the day
losing its luster: so turn up
the pzazz a little, tweak
the backbeat, praise the pigeon
choir flocking down to perform,
Alleluia, Alleluia.
--Miguel de O
It was a soft gray day near the California coastal town of Montera. A field of agapanthus were looking quite grand as they flaunted their colorful flowers against the gun metal gray of the ocean. A trifecta of artists were diligently working, attempting to capture the landscape on their easels. I felt a little guilty about how easy it was for me to memorialize the scene with my camera, while the artists had to work so hard. I'm guessing none of them saw it as hard work at all. Sure wish I could paint a lick.

The St. Louis Blues won their first ever Stanley Cup championship in professional ice hockey over the Boston Bruins. Named after Lord Stanley of Preston, Governor General of Canada who enjoyed ice hockey, the silver cup has been present annually since 1892 -- and from the Blues' first season in 1967 until now, St Louis had never won. A great weekend to everyone!
