Mirror shot in my Air B&B April 2023. There were two mirrors opposite each other on either side of the roof dormer in our room, so you are actually seeing in the reverse direction of the lens . It made for an interesting angle to show the street view and my lens reflection simultaneously so I couldn't resist giving it an opportunity. Uniquely there is only one window in the area but the mirrors give the impression of two, both with their individual views. I was quite pleased with the peculiar results. I tried so hard to show more of the street lamp but it was not to be while maintaining the straight lines , squared window frame and the reflection on the lens. This was our second afternoon in Lisbon on our trip through Portugal having departed Porto. I was trying to share something unusual I had seen in my peripheral vision on this occasion and this was as close as I could accomplish. When I tried moving the camera higher in the tight position I lost all the magic. I realized there is no defined focal point within the image and the subject is entirely the illusion itself. So confusing for the eye that the lens appears to be aiming away from it's image captured.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to all !
Joyeux Noël et bonne année à tous !
Frohe Weihnachten und ein gutes neues Jahr an alle !
Buon Natale e felice anno nuovo a tutti !
Feliz Navidad y Feliz año nuevo a todos !
Peripherally flitting by,
I caught a glimpse of something bright,
a shimmer like the stars at night,
a dancing, daring damselfly.
She swooped above me in an arc,
and came to rest right on my shoulder;
what a vision, to behold her
eyes so large and dark.
She was there to speak in whisper-
She lingered with me sping and summer,
while I tried hard to become her
friend; she left. And now I miss her.

"...Ne me quitte pas
Je ne vais plus pleurer
Je ne vais plus parler
Je me cacherai là
À te regarder danser et sourire et
À t'écouter chanter et puis rire
Laisse-moi devenir
L'ombre de ton ombre
L'ombre de ta main
L'ombre de ton chien
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas...."
There is actually a disproportional representation of this image but that is a tale for another day or you could visit Deviant Art where they host a host of other entirely different images and versions of images that I have created that you may or may not have seen.

ELLIE GOULDING – YOUR SONG
FREEDOM
Seated in my dining room
I look towards the patio
where Buddha watches over me
through closed and hooded lids
so wise; so tranquil; so knowledgeable
an oasis of calm upon the ledge of the boundary of my life
my life may seem smaller now in some respects
my plans may have recently been shelved
but within the confines of my garden
my world is complete and in perfect harmony
there will be time enough I hope
when the illness that restricts my movements
has ended it's journey so that mine can then begin
this year I wanted to travel more
to see new places and revisit old memories
but “life is what happens
when we are making other plans” clichéd, yet true
so here I am and I can either watch the world go by
or I can wait for the world to come to me
for our knowledge of the world can be completely found
within the intricacies of nature; from the smallest insect
to the tallest tree and I can still lay on the grass
and look up to the sky; watch clouds endlessly floating by
imagine where they've been and all that they have seen
their watchful gaze takes in my form and carries it along
to another sky where someone else is also watching
how exciting it is to be a part of something
so much bigger than we are
the Universe; the Moon; the Sun and stars
I am not unique, but I am a part of you
and you are a part of me; together we make up the world
and who is to say that collective consciousness
is not within the clouds
or in the blinking of a shooting star;
or even a speck of dust carried on the wind
tomorrow that dust may settle on your shoulder or your shoe
and as you brush it gently away think of me
and I will know by the sound of the whispering wind
as it gently touches my face that the thought of me has travelled
and the thought of you is here,
so though we may stand still and barely move at all
we have in fact travelled the world together
have you ever caught a glimpse of a shadow
within your peripheral vision
only to turn and there is nothing there
perhaps that is me or one of you;
or at least the imprint that you have made upon this world
that travels freely within your mind and mine;
no borders can prevent this freedom that we have
the freedom of our minds can take us to the moon and back
in the blinking of an eye and the rain that falls on me
may someday fall on you; and can you see what happens
when raindrops trickle down the window
they merge and form a pool and that is us
one drop at a time we form the world; the whole.
