. . . a strange reality has united all humankind
in a new kind of protection, all over the world . . .
I looked at over 100 quotations on *protection* and only one came slightly close to my feelings . . . and it was based on Confidence . . .
"Confidence ...
thrives on honesty,
on honor,
on the sacredness of obligations,
on faithful protection
and on unselfish performance.
Without them it cannot live."
~Franklin D. Roosevelt ~
We need to have *confidence* that we will get through this pandemic. Prayers for all humankind . . .

Again, serendipity popped its amazing head as yesterday I had photographed this little hut at my favorite herb farm and came home to a lovely testimonial from my flickr calligraphy friend, Blunder.
Goodness, don't know what I've done to deserve such staggering compliments, but am genuinely grateful to have been an inspiration in some small way! To "possess a skeleton key that unlocks all the doors and windows of the souls in the world, in every person" is an astounding statement!
I love Sir Blunder's words, "Personally I think that the soul can only be truly free when it can find a door or a window through which it can express itself creatively."
I can truly attest to that feeling of "freedom" and have to agree with the following quotations:
“Art is the window to man's soul. Without it, he would never be able to see beyond his immediate world; nor could the world see the man within.” ~ Claudia Lady Bird Johnson ~
“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon – instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.” ~ Dale Carnegie ~
“Let there be many windows to your soul, that all the glory of the world may beautify it.”
~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox ~
Michel Houellebecq :
La société érotique-publicitaire où nous vivons s'attache à organiser le désir, à développer le désir dans des proportions inouïes, tout en maintenant la satisfaction dans le domaine de la sphère privée. Pour que la société fonctionne, pour que la compétition continue, il faut que le désir croisse, s'étende et dévore la vie des hommes
The erotic-publicity minded society in which we live endeavours to organise and develop desire to unprecedented levels, while maintaining satisfaction within the sphere of private life. So that society may function and competition persist, desire must increase, spread out and devour the lives of men
La società erotico-pubblicitaria in cui viviamo si adopera a organizzare il desiderio, a sviluppare il desiderio in proporzioni inaudite, mantenendo la soddisfazione nella sfera della vita privata. Perché la società funzioni, perché la competizione continui, bisogna che il desiderio cresca, si estenda e divori la vita degli uomini
La sociedad erótico-publicitaria en la que vivimos se afana en organizar el deseo, en desarrollar el deseo hasta proporciones inauditas, mientras mantiene la satisfacción en la esfera privada. Para que la sociedad funcione, para que la competición continúe, es necesario que el deseo crezca, se extienda y devore la vida de los hombres
Die erotisch öffentlich eingestellte Gesellschaft in der wir leben befasst sich damit, das Verlangen zu organisieren und zu unerreichter Größe zu steigern und hält dabei die Befriedigung immer im privaten Bereich. Damit diese Gesellschaft funktioniert und der Wettbewerb weiter bestehen kann, muss das Verlangen wachsen, sich ausbreiten und das Leben der Menschen verschlingen
A sociedade erótico-publicitária em que vivemos desdobra-se para organizar o desejo, para desenvolver o desejo de modo exagerado, mantendo a satisfação na esfera privada. Para que a sociedade funcione, para que a competição continue, é preciso fazer com que o desejo aumente, até que devore a vida dos homens

From the author: My personal quotation wants to mean hope in my way, was inspired by & is dedicated to Micio, my forever friend, brother in spirit, my soulmate and the man I love, in the belief that, by means of the Love as via his strong will & efforts, all his misfortunes are being turned in a better, healthier and much happy life, happier than for the "average" ppl.
The whole quotation, taken from Richard Lovelace is "Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage" (1642).
I thought of this as I was walking around the zoo in Buenos Aires. It was so hot and humid that the animals were either listless or sleeping...children were disappointed for the kangarous were not jumping, and the monkies were not playing....I felt sorry for the animals in their overcrowded, small cages: while I can understand the need for zoos, I somehow felt they could be larger, with more room for the habitat to be re-created. Of course, this is a metropolitan zoo, and as in other countries all over the world, funding is undoubtedly very limited.
To my Flickr friends, I'm sorry if I haven't been able to comment on your photos: I am away from home, and internet where I am almost never allows me to visualize a photo online, or to download....I'll catch up again! Promise!
After selecting the quotation by Tagore, these words came to me:
when our steps are suddenly broken
and our climb is thus impaired
may we embrace this time
to travel within
to pause, reflect and begin
a g a i n . . .
“Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
in the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action....
into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.”
~ Rabindranath Tagore ~
Giving a man a fish and he will have something to eat for a day; teaching a man to fish and he will have something to eat for a lifetime; giving a man religion and he will die praying for a fish to come to him

Revealing Life Learning Quotations
I came across a few funny and silly Quotations, and I want to share with you.I hope their make you laugh.
“Human decency is not derived from religion. It precedes it.”
― Christopher Hitchens, God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything
Christopher Hitchens (Part 1)
A fellow photographer taught me these principles. She didn't use these words; I just condensed her concepts.
It took me four months to learn the first one after I got a new camera. I'm still chasing the second one...
Quotation from In The Flesh - Pink Floyd (The Wall)
Love this kind of look that said: "What a hell?"
Have a great Thursday my friends :)
If you truly love someone, let it be known, because very often broken hearts succumb to sadness because of unspoken words.
Here's a line my dad always uses, he runs a farm and he often hires newcombers that spend more time nagging than working!:
‘’Since you people think it's everyone else's problem because you seem to be so perfect... why don't you perfect your own damn country and we'll come over, eh?"
Take your choice:
"Don't be a fish; be a frog.
Swim in the water and jump when you hit ground. "
~ Kim Young-ha ~
. . . or if a fish, just hope when the frog hits ground,
there is a pond nearby!
Whatever way you interpret this quotation,
it kinda seems like a lose lose situation! LOL . . .
This frog sculpture was sitting outside a garden store, just begging to be photographed! The fish only appeared during processing, as a little blue thing that looked like a fish!
Somehow frogs are hopping all over the place lately!

This image was posted for the 1/30/15 challenge at Digitalmania (www.flickr.com/groups/digitalmania/pool/) to use an affirmative quotation about art in images.
Also posted for the Feb 2015 challenge at The Hypothetical Awards (www.flickr.com/groups/1179479@N25/discuss/), theme: Passion for Photography, Love of Art.
I used "Art is Life. Life is Art" as my quotation for this image. The quote has been attributed to both Kahlil Gibran and Deiter Rot (or Roth.) Yoko Ono also said, “Art is my life and my life is art.”
Regardless of who said it, it has always been one of my favorite art quotations.
I used trees as symbols of life and the up-side-down trees as roots that go deep, beyond what is seen with the naked eye. The circle is symbolic of the life cycle. The gradual change from black and white realistic photo to colorful abstract art represents how an artist views the world, not as what is, but what can be.
NOTE: I replaced the image with a different version on 2/7/15. I thought the text obliterated some of the more interesting parts of the background and it was bothering me for several days, so I finally changed and reposted it. The image is the same; only the text size & placement has changed.
Quotation from internet: "Pin-tails Whydah needs plenty of room to fly and perching in the open to keep their tails in good condition. Since they re-grow a new tail each season, a damaged feather is not cause for great concern."

Another priceless quote that got a fair few laughs from Gooners. “I’d like to be here forever and ...
Wholeness or Individualism? There must certainly be spaced out for a bit of each.

First of all,
I needed to play this afternoon!
Hours later . . . here is what transpired.
Without going into detail, I must add that in the past few days
I've encountered some strange situations . . . and when I looked up "Harriet Comfort" . . . and discovered she was "a tireless advocate for the mentally ill, after struggling to get treatment for a family member diagnosed with bipolar disorder" . . .
well, it just all fit . . .
like a good crown on a tooth . . .
So the silly quotation also seemed appropriate, after having to get up to an alarm this morning at o dark 30 . . .
The only thing that didn't fit was my toothbrush in the wine bottle! (only kidding, I'm not into the alcohol . . .
not to mention the awful way red wine stains one's teeth!)
“The first thing I do is check my alarm clock
to make sure the time is right,
then I wash my hands,
then I check my alarm clock again,
so I have to wash my hands again.
Then I dip my toothbrush in alcohol
to make sure there are no germs on it.”
~ Harriet Comfort ~
Not the most calming quotation for a commuter who has had their train cancelled, some may say it is taking the p**s

And may we live in a world at peace and with the awareness of God's love in every sunset, every flower's unfolding petals, every baby's smile, every lover's kiss, and every wonderful, astonishing, miraculous beat of our heart.Best wishes!
Serendipity is visiting again! Wanted to get away from the "casino" images and back to wild life (an oxymoron here?). This piece reminds me of a burst of nature. I love how certain images imply immediate words and reactions to those words . . . how my mind wanders, holding hands with those words, walking down unknown paths in my mind.
HOWEVER, look what quotations came up for me today! References, quite coincidentally, to my last post of the casino, high in the sky!
“Spirit has given us a wonderful window into the very ancient past of Mars. It was a violent place, a place where meteorite impacts, volcanic explosions happened frequently, where hot stuff was raining from the sky.” ~ Steve Squyres ~
“You're benefiting from the explosion of the casinos. They give artists chances to be seen in new markets, and the casinos can pay a good amount of money to bring in these acts.” ~ Gary Bongiovanni ~
I don't necessarily agree with the latter statement, but it's certainly food for thought! I guess, as artists, we must all get used to exposure, along with the explosions which occur in our minds!
I think I'm going to BURST with new ideas for the day! Have a wonderfully explosive week, my friends!
“Grant me some wild expressions, Heavens, or I shall burst.” ~ George Farquhar ~
Eternal lovers don't sense whether it is spring or winter while they're happy, as soon as they get used to it can last forever.
How do I choose a quotation? Let me count the ways . . .
If I'm needing a good laugh, I choose one that causes an instant giggle.
“No good fish goes anywhere without a porpoise.” ~ Lewis Carroll ~
If I'm in a serious, processing mood, I choose a philosophical verse.
“No human being, however great, or powerful, was ever so free as a fish.” ~ John Ruskin ~
Today I'm needing both! Enjoy! And remember the old proverb,
"Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.
Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime!"
