Last spring, I was taking a drive through the park, and it was lightly snowing. It wasn't hard to spot this bright blue mountain bluebird off in the distance because he really stood out against the snowy landscape. Generally, they are pretty skittish, but this little guy hung around for quite some time, giving me ample opportunity to capture a few decent shots. I just loved his expressions in this one, like he was questioning whether it was really spring. Apparently, there have been sightings of them in the park already this year, so I'm hoping to catch up with them later this weekend.
From 2022. For the last image in the series exploring an abandoned sanatorium, I thought I'd leave with a more uplifting photo. This beauty poked her head in to one of the lab rooms, curious to see someone in a place she'd likely never seen anyone before. Rather bold for me to suggest this, but she reminded me of Steve McCurry's famous 'Afghan Girl'. They both have the same questioning look at the photographer, I suppose.
Ever felt like going somewhere else?
Away from all this chaos
I've been questioning my mental ill
Breaking for my day up
You give it all but it's never enough
I hold on but the day's never done
Let me go, yeah
'Cause I can't go on
Running from myself, running from myself
Running from myself, running from myself
Running from myself, running from myself
Ever felt you're going nowhere fast?
Tripping over nothing
Every time I try to change my past
I go falling down the river up the blue again
I give it all but it's never enough
I hold on but the day's never done
Let me go, yeah
'Cause I can't go on
Running from myself, running from myself
Running from myself, running from myself
Running from myself, running from myself
Let me go, let me go, yeah
Can't go on
Can't keep running, can't keep running
Can't keep running, can't keep running
Can't keep running, can't keep running
Running from myself, running from myself
Running from myself, running from myself
It isn't everyday that I see something that makes me do a serious double take, questioning what I saw, expecting the worst but getting the best. With a pair that drew the attention of many after sunrise, my attention was focused on the night portion. In the damp cool still air, the echo of the non-turbo IC GP40R that still retains its ratty, yet classic death star paint screaming uphill with its perfectly paired BC Rail Dash-9 assisting was absolutely perfect.
This cow was questioning me on my ability to frame a good photo of her. Note the ear tag says OA, hence the title.
My heart fry in the air without questioning heaven.
When you think of men .... My lost soul cry in the wood.
Won’t share life and death - I am sad and lonely.
Another view of the Common Yellowthroat that visited in the Spring of 2021. I like the questioning look on his face. Thanks for visiting.
when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality :-)

My love's been proven
It's you that's been
Not tryna be exclusive
You're only interested
When you feel like someone's stepping up
And I start questioning this situationship
And all the time that I've put in
You're not supposed to be here
Why can't you just let me heal?
You don't feel love
You just don't want me to move on
Through the rain the flowers are blossoming
Through with pain, back to doing me again

Fa sempre paura quello che non si capisce. E ragionare è sempre più difficile che allinearsi senza farsi mezza domanda. (Cit.)
Verso il Monte Tirasso, sopra Alassio. Liguria
The green and the light blue of the sea that fades into the sky
What you don't understand is always frightening. And reasoning is always more difficult than aligning without questioning themselves
"You, when it's good I'm questioning | You, then I stop to take it in | Is my head in the way? | Cause my heart can't explain | Where we going now? | Build it up, we tear down | Cared before but baby | Now I don’t give a fuck | All the way down | On a one way to you | I'm on my way down | No matter what you're going through" Lyrics from "All The Way Down" by Kelela

LIU Wei, plastic bags (2017), 120x240 cm
LIU Wei repurposes everyday materials to explore perception, societal contradictions and environmental impact by transforming post-industrial objects – especially plastic bags – into intricate wire mesh artworks. Glossy, vibrant and cheap but, simultaneously, toxic plastic bags embody both convenience and ecological harm. Through months of meticulous labour, LIU reshapes the waste materials into luminous forms, questioning whether discarded remnants of modern life can find redemption through artistic reconfiguration.
His work invites reflection on the long-term consequences of industrialisation, as the PVC in his objects takes a millennium to degrade. While these artworks will ultimately vanish, their message endures, offering a striking meditation on waste, permanence and the role of art in confronting crises.

LIU Wei: "Wald der Verwirrung" (2017), Plastiktüten, 120x240 cm
LIU Wei verwendet Alltagsmaterialien, um Wahrnehmung, gesellschaftliche Widersprüche und Umweltauswirkungen zu erforschen, indem er postindustrielle Objekte – insbesondere Plastiktüten – in filigrane Kunstwerke verwandelt. Glänzende, leuchtende und billige, aber gleichzeitig giftige Plastiktüten verkörpern sowohl Bequemlichkeit als auch ökologischen Schaden. In monatelanger akribischer Arbeit formt LIU die Abfallmaterialien zu lebendigen Bildern um und erforscht die Themen der Kontamination. Seine Arbeiten regen zum Nachdenken über die langfristigen Folgen der Industrialisierung an, denn das PVC in seinen Objekten braucht ein Jahrtausend, um sich abzubauen. Während diese Kunstwerke letztlich verschwinden werden, bleibt ihre Botschaft bestehen und bietet eine eindrucksvolle Meditation über Abfall, Beständigkeit und die Rolle der Kunst bei der Bewältigung von Krisen.

This bird was seen at Virginia Lake and had us questioning what it was, It did one spin in front of us and Judy thought that is might be a phalarope. We also wondered if it was a stilt sandpiper.
Confirmed by Ken to be a Phalarope Another rare sighting for us
It is migratory, wintering in inland salt lakes near the Andes in Argentina.[2] They are passage migrants through Central America around March/April and again during September/October Wikipedia"
anyone had forgotten what this tree looked like.
Having photography as a hobby has many benefits over philately; the hours spent inhaling fresh air whilst exploring the natural world, the locomotive advantages of moving your backside off the sofa, not to mention the chance to meet like minded togs, although I can live without the questioning scowls from the Bank Manager as you justify the necessity of that new lens purchase.
Furthermore, it is the effect it has on simply opening our eyes as we become acutely aware of the changing light, the graceful flow and development of the clouds as they dance and flit across the sky and how a scene can change dramatically from one moment to another.
I’n't nature wonderful!
Anyone recognise the lighthouse in this video?
I read a little less this year than usual. I found when my dad passed this summer, I became quickly wrapped up in the funeral and all of the things you have to take care of and then it took awhile to build up my concentration again. I only read 140 books this year, which is far lower than my usual amount of over 200. One year, I read 365 books! So, I slacked off this year. I found myself lingering along different pages and chapters more so than ever. Here are some of my favorite books that I read. They didn’t all come out this year but time is an illusion anyway.
I'd love to hear about all of your favorite reads from this year or other years!
Photo above is a multiple exposure from Iceland..a reading/study room with a landscape photo in honor of my favorite read of the year.
1. Rooms for Vanishing by Stuart Nadler
A real wonder of a book about different possibilities, split timelines, divergent futures confronting the personal horrors of WWII in one of the most creative and thought provoking ways I’ve ever seen. I read several chapters again and again and felt like this was one of the most philosophical and creative books Ive ever read!
2. The Membranes by Chi Ta-wei
Extremely ahead of its time and published originally 30 years ago and translated into English fairly recently. This is a glimpse of a future world which many facets have proved to be fairly accurate predictions but it is also about queer identity and is written sort of like a gay Taiwanese young William Gibson might write it. Wholly original!
3. Is a River Alive? by Robert McFarlane
Yes, a river is very much alive! This is a wondrous work of nonfiction that really explores some diverse and hard to reach areas of nature and its effect on both the nearby inhabitants and the visitors like this author. I loved its sense of environmental advocacy and questioning why we would allot personhood to corporations but not bodies of water, for instance. You really feel like you go on a psychological journey with the author and learn so much between the rivers he explores and the people he meets.
Thanks to my friend Bob for this recommendation!
4. Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich
There was a period of my life where I just didn’t quite get Erdrich for some reason…it just didn’t click…but now, I am reading at least a couple of books a year by her. This is really a striking book about desperate women who have lost all body autonomy. Her books are always well written and engaging but this one felt more fast paced and thrilling than the others in style and topic.
5. House of Day, House of Night: by Olga Tokarczuk
I really love how Tokarczuk writes about dreams and mushrooms in this one especially. There is quite a bit about religion as well as physical gender identity within that religious space and a really interesting sense of the people who live in Poland in a border town with Germany and remnants of WWII even. She just has a really poetic way of writing.
6. The Measure by Nikki Erlick
I read this on recommendation from my sister in law in one sitting on the plane to Los Angeles. It is one of the most engaging book I have ever read and a speculative fiction masterpiece exploring the psychology behind lifespan and how society might change if everyone over 21 was sent a single string of a certain length that told them how much longer they would live….but not how they would die. Fascinating storyline and very well executed…I kept wondering how I would handle this situation myself. Another book that made me cry this year…I guess I am a bit of a mess! Apparently, this was an “instant” NYT Bestseller back in 2022 but I hadn’t heard of it until my sister in law mentioned it…I guess I just don’t pay attention to popular culture.
7. Archipelago of the Sun by Yoko Tawada
This is the third book of the trilogy of friends where Tawada explores language and identity within the context of our current world and its insistence on borders and a national identity that not all have and definitely not all share the same level of privilege. These friends are so diverse and interesting and also one of the characters and their transitioning identity is also explored so it is rather complex but also very thought provoking and meditative the way she writes…you just want to linger on certain sentences again and again.
8. Tell Me Everything by Erika Krouse
I read three books by Erika Krouse and loved all three-this one is nonfiction and is about all of the horrific ways a football team takes advantage of, persecutes, and threatens women and how deep the cover up goes. Krouse is helping the investigator while also going through the horrors of her past and personal identity. I was honestly not expecting to find this book as engaging as I did but Krouse is an exceptional author whose short stories Save Me, Stranger have stuck with me for many months and who also writes vivid characters in fiction books (see Contenders). Highly recommended!!
9. The True True Story of Raja the Gullible (and his Mother) by Rabih Alameddine
If you ever have the chance to see Rabih Alameddine speak, DO IT! I saw him a few years back after Trump was office the first time around and he spoke about how art including writing is in and of itself an act of resistance. This book is both tragic and funny. There’s an image of our protagonist hero escaping a bunker during a civil war in Lebanon that actually had me laughing so hard I’m surprised I could stop. But, this is also a portrait study of a city and how it changed when the fighting began and equally an exploration of a mother and her gay son as they navigate through their relationship across decades. This is technically fiction but reads at times like an autobiography and, after all, it is a true true story.
10. The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami
This book scared the crap out of me and if it had been published when she first had started working on it, it would have been even more terrifying. The premise reads like a Black Mirror story where there are corporations who own and monitor your dreams and might even insert products into them. You can also be suspect based on your dreams but people give up their dreams in desperate situations just to fall asleep….very riveting and terrifying!
11. Poets Square Cats by Courtney Gustafson
I’ve been following this author’s cat rescue in Tucson, Arizona for a few years now but only had part of the story before I read this book. This is the autobiographical back story of the author and cat rescuer herself and the ways in which becoming a full time cat rescuer changed her and perhaps made her more human or at least helped her focus her values and what being alive truly means to her. She is doing very good work and it is important to support this work. This book also gives the back story behind so many important characters, many of whom don’t seem quite so feral when you see their true feline selves in her way. A book to be treasured!
12. Sunbirth by An Yu
I loved her speculative novel Ghost Music and this new one is even more bizarre and has an apocalyptic angle about the sun slowly disappearing and people in this town being enveloped by and exploding with light. None of the characters know what it is like in other cities and towns and some try to escape but, after all, the sun is something we all share so you wonder how it could be different when it is the same major problem occurring. I loved these astounding characters and the sense of imagination here.
13. ACLU The Fight of the Century: Edited by Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman
Never has there been a more important time to stand up for human rights and also understand the history of human rights. I loved some of the authors responding to historical cases that are organized chronologically. Yea Gyasi Viet Thanh Nguyen, Elizabeth Strout, Salman Rushdie, Aleksander Hemon, Brit Bennett, Li Yiyun, Rabih Alameddine, Louise Erdrich, and Anthony Doerr amongst main more give us glimpses into their own personal history and how these cases may have impacted them. Some of these chapters are also critical of the ACLU’s stance too in some aspects in a healthy way as in the case of campaign funding, for example. Regardless, it’s an organization under great threat in America whose continued existence is vital.
14. Bad Bad Girl by Gish Jen
This is partly a memoir of the author but also an exploration of her mother’s past and her ancestry from back in Shanghai. It explores the horrors of the history they lived through while her mother escaped to America but it’s also an engaging imaginary conversation Gish Jen has with her mother who suffered sexism in her own life and treats her daughter as if she should also be quiet and easy and not have so many opinions. But Gish Jen is a phenomenal author of so many great fictional stories exploring culture and identity and she will always be a Good Bad Girl that we should be grateful for. Thank goodness for the women who don’t succumb to societal and family pressures put on us.
15. My Beloved Monster: Masha, the Half-Wild Rescue Cat Who Rescued Me by Caleb Carr
An extraordinary nonfiction work that really had me on the edge of my seat several times and crying at others. This is a story of a human who Is battling a personal history with physical abuse and has gone through several surgeries that have been only minimally successful. He is an acclaimed author (I haven’t read any of his other books) and lives alone when he decides to adopt a cat later on in life. I just love how he explores his relationship with his cat and the cat’s personality and sense of adventure. This is actually a story about two wandering souls who find each other and meet in the middle and I do believe that they have found each other again in the ether of the afterlife.
16. Generosity by Richard Powers
I read four different books by Powers this year. If you haven’t read his work, it’s quite masterful! He is one of those authors that has great ideas and can truly craft a complex storyline and bring it all back home in an impressive way. This one is interesting because it focuses on an immigrant who by all accounts should be miserable…she has very little and her parents have been murdered and her brother imprisoned. At one point, she is even sexually molested. Still, throughout all of this, our protagonist, Thassadit Amzwar. remains happy and joyful in a way that others just can’t quite seem to manage or understand. As one might imagine, people try to diagnose her as if something is wrong with her and study her DNA…things go so haywire because other humans literally just can’t imagine how this human could be this happy when the rest of us are so depressed.
17. Bewilderment by Richard Powers
This book really got to me in so many ways…it’s so much about the relationship between a father and a son who is neurodivergent and tests him in so many ways but it is also about biofeedback, flexible thinking, and consciousness after death. It is filled with wonder and sorrow both and really explores the complexity of human consciousness.
18. Beyond Anxiety by Martha Beck
I read quite a few nonfiction books this year related to flexible thinkers, nature, human consciousness existing after death, and octopuses but this one really resonated with me in the sense that it helped me immediately to manage my anxiety and is highly recommended to any artists. There are people in this world who consume art and those who create art and those who do both. I am probably in the latter category because I create art but also really love being part of an international community like Flickr and don’t really enjoy participating in other social media type of sites that seem to focus more on making oneself look cool or rich or just a made up version of a human.
This nonfiction is about how creativity can cancel out the heightened anxiety that threatens to overwhelm us every day. If you start to feel the heightened sensation taking over like you can’t even breathe except to scream, maybe this book is for you. Also, just sitting down and doing art for hours is indeed a luxury and makes it hard to go back to the “real world” of capitalism, etc. but sometimes this is exactly what self care is needed
19. A Love Story From the End of the World by Juhea Kim
I loved the wild weirdness and environmental focus of these short stories set all across the world in this time of climate chaos and political upheaval. Kim is an author and activist with a truly creative spirit!
20. After by Bruce Greyson M.D.
After what happened this summer with my dad passing, I read a ton of nonfiction regarding human consciousness continuing and this one really goes through quite a variety of Near Death Experiences and how it also ends up changing people. It’s a really fascinating look into human consciousness and how it continues from a medical expert. I am fascinated by these human stories and really enjoy the perspective of someone from a background in Science. I do believe that, when the body dies, the consciousness and soul of the spirit does continue and that most of us have already lived multiple lives at this point.

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning."
Albert Einstein
(Agalychnis callidryas) Many scientists believe the red-eyed tree frog developed its vivid scarlet peepers to shock predators into at least briefly questioning their meal choice.
These iconic rain-forest amphibians sleep by day stuck to leaf-bottoms with their eyes closed and body markings covered. When disturbed, they flash their bulging red eyes and reveal their huge, webbed orange feet and bright blue-and-yellow flanks. This technique, called startle coloration, may give a bird or snake pause, offering a precious instant for the frog to spring to safety.
Their neon-green bodies may play a similar role in thwarting predators. Many of the animals that eat red-eyed tree frogs are nocturnal hunters that use keen eyesight to find prey. The shocking colors of this frog may over-stimulate a predator's eyes, creating a confusing ghost image that remains behind as the frog jumps away.
Red-eyed tree frogs, despite their conspicuous coloration, are not venomous. They are found in tropical lowlands from southern Mexico, throughout Central America, and in northern South America. Nocturnal carnivores, they hide in the rain forest canopy and ambush crickets, flies, and moths with their long, sticky tongues.
Red-eyed tree frogs are not endangered. But their habitat is shrinking at an alarming rate, and their highly recognizable image is often used to promote the cause of saving the world's rain forests.
Some of my followers may be questioning my ability to identify vegetables and flowers with good reason. However, I planted this myself and am pretty sure that it is a tomato...snicker.
Thank you to all who try to educate me on the stuff in my images.
for serious carnivores, grilling is a giant overkill. not to mention questioning the landscape maintenance.

The name Galgenstraat refers to the view you had of the Galgenveld from Prinseneiland. Criminals were first put to death on Dam Square near the Waag by strangulation or hanging, then the corpses were taken by boat to Amsterdam North. There, the corpses of convicted criminals dangled, clearly visible to everyone so that they had a deterrent effect. The corpses were left hanging until the ropes perished or were pecked to pieces by crows.
"To those who think as we do, all things themselves are dancing: they come and offer their hands and laugh and flee- and come back. Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of being. Everything dies, everything blossoms again; eternally runs the year of being. Everything breaks, everything is joined anew; eternally the same house of being is built. Everything parts, everything greets every other thing again; eternally the ring of being remains faithful to itself. In every Now, being begins; round every Here rolls the sphere There, The center is everywhere. Bent is the path of eternity." ...
"A long twilight limped before me, a sadness, weary to death, drunken with death speaking with a yawning mouth. 'Eternally recurs the man of whom you are weary, the small man' - thus yawned my sadness and dragged its feet and could not go to sleep. Man's earth turned into a cave for me, its chest sunken; all that is living became human mold and bones and musty paste to me. My sighing sat on all human tombs and could not longer get up; my sighing and questioning croaked and gagged and gnawed and wailed by day and night: 'Alas, man recurs eternally! The small man recurs eternally!'"
Happy Caturday 2.1.2021 "Make me smile"
In the morning, Timmy likes to lie in front of our door for a
while, on the doormat with the three cats, and check everything that happens in front of the house. Here he examines me questioningly "is your head better again?"
The story about it: in the afternoon of Christmas Eve, after the arrival of sister and brother-in-law, I began to set the coffee table. The good coffee set is upstairs in the living room closet.
So the upper cupboard door was open when I put something from the table on the bottom off the cupboard. And while straightening up again, hit my head full force against the corner of the upper cabinet door. "Not Christmas Eve to the emergency room!" was my first thought, the second is not ready for print ;-)
I voluntarily went to the ground because my feeling told me that otherwise this could happen involuntarily in a moment. My sister quickly fetched a cold wet washcloth, which I pressed against the wound.
After a short time I was able to get up and walk up and down the living room cursing with the washcloth pressed against my head. Then I saw Timmy asleep on the terrace on the bank and went out to him to let him comfort me a little. I squatted down in front of him and his reaction amazed me a lot:
He opened his eyes a little crack at first, but when he saw that
washcloth on my head, he snapped his eyes wide open, sat up, and got his little head very close to the problem area and sniffed it. Maybe he would have liked to lick a little blood ;-)
Then he looked at me and rubbed his head against mine. I
immediately felt much better, the pain subsided and a smile
crossed my face :-)
Since then I have to examine two heads in bed in the morning and see if some crust can be scraped off ;-)

She sat there and for a long while, not forbearingly, not enduringly, but questioningly, not even, to test memory, and even maybe to correspond, caressed the back of one hand with the other. Wasn’t he closer

'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside"
The Killers
www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGdGFtwCNBE
Mr Brightside was abit of an anthem for this weekend away. Couldn't get it out of my head.
I am trying to find my "Mr Brightside" after a weekend where I am questioning how on earth I can call myself a photographer. I have hit the delete button more times than I care to count. Especially disappointing when I am supposed to be in my element photographing seascapes.
The brightside was the wonderful people I shared my time with while away, not least of all my dear friend Andrew and my ever patient Sherpa and enjoying some red wine, pizza, many laughs and very wet pants and socks.
I think this image was the pick of the weekend for me. Maybe.
