For me, presentation is part of the work, a way to voice the maker’s thoughts of his subject. I don’t think it can add appeal... perhaps more like clarity. I have begun to set some of my photographs before the public in small galleries these days and I find that imagining how something you have worked on looks to others’ eyes is as difficult as knowing what we look like if we are not looking at ourselves.

I realize there's something incredibly honest about trees in winter, how they are experts at letting things go.

2 a.m. and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake

"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?

I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season"

Yeah, we walk through the doors, so accusing, their eyes

Like they have any right at all to criticize

Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason

'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable

And life's like an hourglass glued to the table

No one can find the rewind button, girl

So cradle your head in your hands

And breathe, just breathe

Oh, breathe, just breathe

She was a little all over the place, that was for sure. But the good news is that when she loved, she loved big. And if she loved you, you knew she loved you. You never had to wonder.......

I realize that I've taken a little break from concert photos (which some of you might be happy by) but I'll never get over my love affair with music. That's just the type of human I am. Last night at the Empty Bottle in Chicago, I saw a band named Big Joanie, who are a very politically progressive feminist punk band. More photos and a review here:

Whether you’ve realized it or not, if you’ve been to Paris you’ve probably seen the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte, at least from a distance. Napoleon is buried inside the Dôme Des Invalides at Les Invalides (officially the Hôtel National des Invalides). The bright, gold dome of the chapel reaches high into the sky and stands out on the Paris landscape like a glittering beacon. 248

Never realized before that this "Chi-ca-go", "Chi-ca-go" is the onomatopoeia for the rallying cry of the California Quails… (Don't ask me to say this prase outloud, I am French after all ) Why not "Sa-cra-men-to" or "Vic-to-ria "… I don’t know. We moved into a more rural part of the Greater Victoria last December and I am so happy to see that we have a healthy population of California Quails around here. We initially had quite a few of them in our previous neighborhood in Saanich (we lioved there for 15 years) , but they all seem to disappear over the years. Apparently, they are heavily predated by the feral cats. The number I see here right now is very encouraging and I hope to be able to photograph them in the Winter, this would be especially nice on one of those rare snowy day. This one was caught on a trail in the woods around Metchosin not around our home. Unfortunately very high ISO.

Without realizing it, the individual composes his/her life according to the laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress.

"People don't realize now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind." - Eckhart Tolle

When I really think about it, I see the truth in this quote. It sounds silly, but the thought started while I remembered my anticipation of these grape hyacinths I planted years ago. Years went by with only foliage popping up...no blooms. Every year I would wait, get super excited...and be super disappointed. This year, I was finally rewarded with some long awaited blooms.

So the question is...and not just about flowers, about anything we experience in life...what's the best part: the anticipation, that's full of hope and fantasies...or the memories that can be looked back on in thought and in pictures? I think it's some combination of both...reminiscing old adventures while anticipating new ones....

Please view large. Have a wonderful Thursday, my friends :-)

"You were the shadow to my light

Did you feel us?

Another star, you fade away

Afraid our aim is out of sight

Wanna see us alight

Where are you now?

Where are you now?

Where are you now?

Was it all in my fantasy?

Where are you now?

Were you only imaginary?

Where are you now?

Atlantis, under the sea, under the sea

Where are you now? Another dream

The monster's running wild inside of me

I'm faded, I'm faded

So lost, I'm faded, I'm faded

So lost, I'm faded!"

I realized I hadn't posted this cub's photo and I had meant to because I thought he/she has the strangest looking face.

It's one of a set of triplets, the ones that I did the video of them walking practically right up to my cabin door and growling. You remember that, right?

This cub didn't look odd to me then but this picture, I don't know.

Just something about its face looks strange to me.

I just realized how long I haven't been to my beloved Elbe Sandstone Mountains. It's been a shocking 8 months now. I can not believe it.

Even though I've been to some beautiful places in the meantime, I really regret that I just didn't have the time.

To account for this and to remind myself that I would like to spend a day here again as soon as possible, I pull a previously unpublished photo from my archive.

The memory of that magnificent sunrise on mt. Lilienstein eases my pain somewhat and I hope the sight of the soft clouds floating over the forests and fields, bathed in an orange-pink light by the rising sun, brings you some joy.

Gerade ist mir bewusst geworden, wie lange ich nun schon nicht mehr in meinem geliebten Elbsandsteingebirge unterwegs war. Das ist jetzt schon schockierende 8 Monate her. Ich fasse es nicht.

Auch wenn ich in der Zwischenzeit an einigen wunderschönen Orten war bedaure ich es doch sehr, dass mir hierzu die Zeit einfach gefehlt hat.

Um dem Rechnung zu tragen und um mich daran zu erinnern, dass ich sobald wie möglich wieder einen Tag hier verbringen möchte, hole ich ein bisher unveröffentlichtes Foto aus meinem Archiv.

Die Erinnerung an diesen grandiosen Sonnenaufgang auf dem Lilienstein lindert meinen Schmerz etwas und ich hoffe, der Anblick von den weichen Wolken, die über den Wäldern und Feldern schweben, von der aufgehenden Sonne in ein orange rosa Licht getaucht,bereitet Euch etwas Freude.

Turning backwards, it is realized that in this high point of the ruins of the Pilaloma there are other ruins of the two lateral enclosures with their doors facing the Castle. These two enclosures leave a narrow intermediate runner of 0.80m which, coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the entire trapezoid, advances to its major base. Interestingly, the corridor divides into two elongated sections equal to Pilaloma, and goes through the Wanka that marks the multiple tomb. All these elements (geometry, tomb, wanka, corridor, orientation, etc.) have led to interpret the site as a testimony of something more transcendent of the Cañari culture. Indeed, the latest archaeoastronomic studies assert that the corridor and the wanka were associated with the observation of the sun on the summer solstice, on June 21.

Alvin turned his head and knew the argument was over.

i realize that i have not written much here over the past few years. and i am a writer, first and foremost. how odd, to have abandoned the opportunity to paint with words, with sounds and rhythms, offer a complement to the images. so ...

i suppose if you are the kind of person who has a predilection for words, then you will read further. if not, well, there are many images in this stream (including this one, i hope) that speak their own language. :)

i have walked this path, this sentiero. i have walked it, felt the cold autumn air wash over me, the warmth of the sun on my face. i have seen deer bounding across the crests of the hills and pheasants skittering across the surface of the deeply plowed earth, the clay, the crete senesi. i have stood in the midst of this great space, small, very small amidst the waves of autumn blues and greys. i have felt this place, experienced it. and forgotten it. it takes so little time for memories to fade. it takes a conscious effort to preserve them. i work diligently to live in the moment, so diligently at times that i forget. and while the present is the only reality, the past does provide its context, the future does offer some hope, and my memory, though fallible, is not simply a nostalgic salve to ease my aging mind. it's a part of who i am, what i am likely to become.

i have walked this path, seen it anew. and remembered.

Realizing lately I've been ignoring my favorite little winter ducks, the Hooded Mergansers, I went off to the park today to pay my respects. To my disappointment, there was only one male, and I lost him amongst the other sleepers. So, here's a female from a couple of months ago. I thought her coif was perfect, like she'd just come from the coiffeur. Her crayfish appears to be giving its final salute.

When I realized that the sunrise was going to be better than I had excpected, I had to run to get to a better vantage point. Yesterday's and today's images were the result of my running. It was fun!

I realize most of you will think I am nuts for going back to this same UFO landing pad (trust me, me too!). When I saw the area was flooded, I had to go out for a look.

On this day, Salt Lake City set a new daily precipitation record with 0.8 inches (2.032 cm)of rain. Remember, most of Utah is a desert, so this amount of rain in one day was significant.

This area of salt is very flat, and the water was paper-thin but just enough for reflections. You can also see where the aliens collected the rocks and moved them into position to mark a safe landing for their spaceship.

Also, note the shades of green - this is seasonal. Most of the year, its yellow. So the green is another bonus.

The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.

No more plans to shoot here unless a Christmas tree magically appears!

I realize that it is probably not a "barn" (probably a tool shed or work area) but I liked the title anyway. I spotted this beautiful autumn scene near Woodstock, Vermont. The light and fall colors were incredible. (Edited in Photoshop and Lightroom)

I realize how blessed I am, knowing that my grandchildren enjoy collaborating with their artworks. Good time spent, and hopefully, good memories for them.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Ok, check it out

Happy Blue Monday 😊😊😍

I suppose I don’t realize how often I make comments about cows when I’m in the car with Norm… which makes me wonder what it would be like if I were ever to see a transcript of my own running monologue.

Perish the thought.

We were out near Cambridge and, as I’ve mentioned in the past, Norm is especially good at exploring backroads (and finding his way out of them too). We had passed a few farms and I must have said something about looking for cows and he asked, ‘What is it with you and cows?’ I wasn’t sure how to answer that exactly because, after all, most of the time cows just stand there in the field munching. I expect it’s something about their big faces I like...or maybe it's the influence of those Elsie commercials when I was a kid.

So each time Norm saw cows he’d stop the car and I’d check to make sure the farmer wasn’t around, suspicious that I was from some government agency sneaking about early on a Sunday morning.

As it happened, the only ones suspicious of me were the cows.

flickr friends+me = twice as nice

Thank you for putting up with me flickr friends. I know I type dyslexic all the time without realizing it. I leave words out of my sentences completely. My friends tell me they have learned a new language by being my buddy on instant messages. Now I just noticed I have been handing out spanish invites to all of my friends for two days! I told you yesterday I am still silly. Well here you go!!! LOL

Have a wonderful day!!

I use to be scared

then I realized I’m a god . . .

I only recently realized that among all my pictures a black and white image of this iconic mountain was missing, so last week i just grabbed the occasion to fill this void when a few nice clouds passed over the top of Plattkofel half an hour before sunset, mission accomplished!

"And that is when I realized, I had so much within me to share, to love and to be thankful for. I could conquer the world with just my smile, apart from my art and stories. Through my solitude, I can be happy and love myself as much as I love others, always..."

P.S. I finally decided to finally put an end to this series. I started this August 28th 2020 and today is ironically Jan 27 2021, it took 4 months to bloom. If you look from the beginning to the end of the album, you will see a surprising transition. This last picture was completely unexpected. I will thank 8f8 Creation for that little note on the Retracing Joy - Bathroom Essentials. And for all other cute messages in most of his creations, they are so uplifting! I also borrowed Sapphy to pose for me because she always reminds me of what is essential. I didn't expect I'd use someone else for this series but it sort of fits.

Here is a summary of the series.
