Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's Party!"
~ Robin Williams
This is the last in my series of four crocus images.
Shot with Pentacon AV and 12mm extension tube.
I have often asked myself weather sunsets have brothers or sisters, and knowing that sunrise is actually Sunset's brother, I, for my entire life searched for it's sisters.
And than it happened the other day. Climbing a small grassy hill in the most beloved part of the world, my Homeland, I came about what I was searching for. Sunset sisters were there talking to the Sun in a way lovers talk to each other.
Now I have to find out about who is it's Mother...b.mikic
My one minute poetry/prose continues...
After a miserably hectic week, I have a few things to show off!
If you haven't stopped by Kurenai yet, you should stop by for a unique variety of Japanese and Taiwanese fashion! There the Yuzu Onzen decoration available from Violetility, and these awesome bento Nogitsune tails and ears available from Aii!
We <3 RP just opened as well, where you can grab this lovely Azrael Mask and Arrow from Azoury! There's also a wide variety of 50L items from a ton of vendors this month, so check it out!

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Their lives brushed ours like passing wings: soft, invisible, unforgettable. You never saw them in person, but your heart knows what it felt every time you read their comments on your photos. Like butterflies with broken wings, shining in their brevity, they still take flight.
And although your friends are no longer within your reach, they have been etched in the quiet corners of your soul. Every echo of kindness in their written messages, every feeling of being known without ever having met us, remains.

Rest in Peace

FADE INTO YOU – MAZZY STAR
ABUNDANCY
Pure of heart lights the way
shines like sun in the month of May
carries me throughout this day
Abundancy of Love
How I wish I could slip away
to my little island not far away
and linger longer; warm hazy days
Abundancy of Being
I can see you in my dreams
feel your touch and all it seems
is all I need and tranquil streams
Abundancy of Soul
Roses perfumed sweetness flows
cherry blossom falls like snow
seasons come and seasons go
Abundancy of Nature
Silence; tranquil; peace and quiet
nightingales sing throughout the night
twinkling winking stars and moonlight
Abundancy of Heaven
Close my eyes and turn my cheek
love me if I'm who you seek
refresh my spirit when I feel weak
Abundancy of Life
Open my heart and let me sing
beauty is found in everything
be more aware and life will bring
Abundancy of All.

ONLY TO FLY – CHRIS REA
Zebra fly, zebra fly
what are you doing here
where are you going on this fine day
in your striped pyjamas
watching the panorama
can you hear the sea come in
to our little bay
have you been up to London
in your pin-striped suit
tell me was it busy
did you have a hoot
did you take your car
or did you just commute
Zebra fly, zebra fly
with your new Doc Marten boots
how I love the retro vibe
it's trending now in hot pursuit
with your big and stylish sunglasses
tinted red do you imbibe
a Pimm's and High Tea on the lawn
will you take a bribe
or can I gatecrash anyway
and join you on the bench
a Summer's day is here to stay
to leave is such a wrench
Zebra fly, zebra fly
please do mind the gap
at the station there are signs
next to the Underground map
you're looking good against the wood
you seem so cool; relaxed
your wings transparent, clear and bright
shining like they've just been waxed
Zebra fly, zebra fly
one more thing before I go
can a zebra really fly
an urban myth or no ...

Happy Flyday and a Beautiful Weekend dear friends <3
Groundskeeping
Throughout a lifetime
Our garden prose
Has carried heart weight
And it has been amongst the boughs
And arbors and mindful footfall
That new seasons are nourished
And my fingers are rooted in yours

Happy Valentine's Day to my love. xoxoxo

Mountains Make Me Happy
Being in a forest also makes me happy
Having both makes me blessed
Seeing trees thousands of years old
Brings out a wonder in shared world
I then see the blue skies above
And know I am truly experiencing life.
Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in Inyo National Forest while walking the Methuselah Walk. The view is looking to the north up a nearby mountainside seemingly covered with those ancient bristlecone pine trees. I felt the blue skies would be more of a negative space, so I decided to angle my Nikon SLR camera and zoom in so that this mountainside filled up most of the image. There would be a portion of blue skies though to act as a color contrast to the earth tones present in the rest of the image. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

Good Morning!
My Hand, My Reverent Hands
Holding a camera
Capturing a small snippet of now
Which will be gone a moment later
But not forgotten
Or at least not for a while
Clouded memories of a distant past
Or was that yesterday
It's easy to get lost in thought holding my camera
And seeing what was or used to be.
Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one morning in Capitol Reef National Park while hiking the Chimney Rock Trail. My thinking in composing this image was to capture a layered look with the nearby foreground leading up to the cliff edge with the sage grass and nearby old tree. That would then lead to the monocline and Waterpocket Fold present in the middle part of the image and national park. The blue skies and clouds would be that color contrast to complement the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image.I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

I'm a sucker for wildflowers; more so when they're truly wild in a field. I love them, they brighten any spot, even the side of a road that's riddled with potholes.
And so, this morning when I was walking back from an appointment and spotted this field of wild growth I had to pull the camera out and see what I could capture.
No field is ever the same. If I were to go back tomorrow, it would be different and I think that's what I love about places like this.
Variety, it's the spice of life!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

I Met Another on the Road, And We Both Enjoyed the Mountains
For no wrongs have been done to me when I walk amongst them
I have heard said to live in a beautiful mansion. Why?
I say it is far better to live amongst the woods and mountains!
For I have lifted my eyes to look at a beauty of a distant peak
And let it fill me with grandeur of a full day.
Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one early evening not long before sunset at a marked viewpoint for Denali along the main highway leading out of Talkeetna. With the golden hour light, the grandeur of Denali came out...really came out! To capture this image, I pulled out my Tamron SP 150-600mm lens. I decided that I wanted to zoom in as much as I could while still keeping a little around the mountain peak to complement the setting for this image. I then made adjustment to shutter speed and aperture until I got the look I wanted.
I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 3 that I’d recently purchased after moving away from Capture NX2. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I added a Foliage, Polarization and Pro Contrast filter for that last effect on the image captured.

Pain or something like it, all the memories just as well forgotten...nothing matters because it's the time of year when the sun's down before we're fully awake, when the full moon hardly shows from behind the stars and the only thoughts worth having are thoughts that come just before sleep, making the pillow their grave and inviting dreams instead. We collect these dreams like dying stalks of wildflowers, brittle, lost, then gone forever.
