Perdonatemi, ma -come si sa- la carne è debole e l'ego, qualche volta- prende il sopravvento!

Forgive me ... but the flesh is weak and the ego -sometimes- takes over!
The face of the Olympian Hermes. Just a tiny part of the whole statue. The other parts, represented by Fujifilm boxes, you have to visualise yourself or, since his image is scattered over the world-wide web, you can look it up. Here, I am offering just a visual quotation. It refers to something larger and, at the end of the day, to a long narrative which, in itself, is invisible.
Fujifilm X-Pro1 plus Helios 44M-7 (wide-open).

“What an astonishing thing it is to find something. Children, who excel at it—chiefly because the world is still so new to them that they can’t help but notice it—understand this, and automatically delight in it… Finding is usually rewarding and sometimes exhilarating: a reunion with something old or an encounter with something new, a happy meeting between ourselves and some previously missing or mysterious bit of the cosmos.”
—Kathryn Schulz
The above quotation basically sums up how I feel about photography. We find things that are treasures to us, and we photograph and share them. Like Show and Tell. Remember that from elementary school? ;) A whole year (and longer) slipped away since I took this photo, but I’m finally sharing this found thing with you.
Thank you to everyone for your recent, generous faves and supportive comments. It encourages me, and it’s appreciated more than you know. My apologies for not being able to follow everyone that follows me. With Flickr’s settings, it makes it challenging to follow too many people without being overwhelmed. As a general rule, for everyone that visits my photostream, I make an effort to reciprocate by visiting theirs.
I wish you all the best now and always. Keep looking, finding and sharing. x

When you're not being able to do much there's always technology to make you have a dialogue with your many florals, which I did yesterday. Many quotes spring to mind, but I chose this one.
"The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and harmonious tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs to him" ~ August Rodin
"I remember a hundred lovely lakes,
and recall the fragrant breath of pine
and fir and cedar and poplar trees.
The trail has strung upon it, as upon a thread of silk,
opalescent dawns and saffron sunsets."
~ Hamlin Garland ~
Which came first? The fiber arts tassel or the verse?
Serendipitously the short, poetic composition popped up and brought even more meaning, surprise and delight as it accented the opalescent and saffron beads which had been strung on silken threads upon the dangle, attached to a charm of golden pine cones!
Happy Gorgeous Green Thursday everyone!
I come across another funny Quotation on FaceBook and wanted to share this with you all. Have a fantastic day, everyone!
"Everything faded into mist. The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth."
— George Orwell ("1984")
...posted, the morning after the presidential election, upon pondering the horrors to be inflicted upon the United States of America in the months to come.

on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on."
~~ Carl Sandburg

Quotations from Augustine of Hippo, asking for God's enlightenment. The second quote refers to:
James 1:16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. (World English Bible, public domain.)
Thanks for looking!
This is a black and white photograph of the Lighthouse erected on the Northern tip of Skopelos Island, Greece, at Cape Gourouni, viewed from afar. The 46-ft (14-m) high tower is rectangular and made of stone. The lighthouse has got a luminous range of 20 nautical miles; it functioned in 1884 for the first time.
The shot was inspired by the quotation from Virginia Woolf: ❝Lighthouses are endlessly suggestive signifiers of both human isolation and our ultimate connectedness to each other.❞
Mother Nature has the US in her grasp. I hope you are all warm and safe as this continues to pass through our lives.
A few hours earlier this long rubber fisherman's walkway had been flying through the air, tossed around by the strong winds blowing across Dungeness beach. It came to rest in this serendipitous form and just had to be photographed!
