I didn't realize until I uploaded that there is a slight tripple reflection of the moorhen in this shot. Well, I can see it even if no-one else can:)
Enjoy a lovely weekend everyone!
My neighbor, without realizing, has the most wonderful array of flowers that attract butterflies. exico, Central America, West Indies, and parts of South America). Today this lovely Gulf Fritillary was feasting there. The underside of the wings are brownish/orange with elongated silvery white spots. Adults are migrating southward to frost-free portions of their range (Southern U.S. south through MI’ll post a pic of the upper wings later.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Smile on Saturday is dolls.
I don’t have that many dolls in my house so I decided to go with my Russian dolls collection. And since they all look very much alike, why not add some variety ? Yes, I realize that an egg can’t be a doll but a floating egg can be in the picture with all the dolls, don’t you think ? It makes the picture more diversified, lets just hope it will be accepted for this theme ;-).
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! Have a beautiful day my friends!! See you later!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Until very recently, I never realized how much flamingos are adding to my old pictures. Here we have a tiny mill house, on a pencil with a green tree… Rather boring and ordinary suburban life… But then: just add a neon pink flamingo and you have a very creative (and a little bit weird) vision of the same decor…. I promise, I will try to find another animal to fit so well in my pictures, but for today we have another flamingo. Or maybe, I will just go back to the egg pictures…
Have a beautiful day ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
FYI: I apologize for not answering any comments lately since I’m in the middle of creating our annual photo book, which takes literally forever since someone was very lazy and didn’t not selected or edited any photos during the whole year…

Looking back of the year, I realized that I was very inactive in Flickr in 2019. Greatly thanks to Flickr friends who still come to visit my Photostream, giving me favorites and comments. In the last day of this year I decided to post my 3rd picture for 2019 as a closing. Wish you all a happy New Year 2020!!

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a yellow day at Color my World Daily and i just realized that I never saw an egg and a lemon kissing… Can an egg fall in love with a lemon ? Or does it only happen with Avocados ? They say love is blind so who knows ? Maybe there is an egg living with his lemon lover…
Another day, another video meeting !! See you later my friends !!

"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....

Wandering through my gallery of previously unpublished images, I realized that I haven't yet managed to keep a promise I made to you.
I spent a night in the Italian Alps on my spring trip to Tuscany.
The morning after, from my pitch, I had a beautiful view of the mountains behind which the sun had just risen.
I put this photo back at the time because I couldn't wait to get to the photos I was actually there for.
In the meantime, so many new impressions have been added that the picture has slipped backwards. Now I'm bringing it up again because those craggy snowy rocks with the golden sky in the background are worth showing off.
Even if the viewing angle from my position is unfortunately not quite as ideal.
Beim Wandern durch meine Galerie der bisher noch unveröffentlichten Bilder ist mir bewust geworden, dass es mir noch nicht gelungen ist ein Versprechen einzulösen, was ich Euch gegeben habe.
Auf meiner Fahrt in die Toskana im Frühling habe ich eine Nacht in den italienischen Alpen verbracht.
Am Morgen danach, von meinem Stellplatz aus hatte ich einen wunderschönen Blick auf die Berge, hinter denen gerade die Sonne aufgegangen war.
Dieses Foto hatte ich damals zurück gestellt, da ich es nicht erwarten konnte zu den Fotos zu kommen, wegen denen ich eigentlich dort war.
Inzwischen sind so viele neue Eindrücke dazu gekommen, dass das Bild nach hinten gerutscht ist. Jetzt hole ich es wieder nach vorn, denn diese schroffen schneebedeckten Felsen mit dem goldenen Himmel im Hintergrund sind es wert gezeigt zu werden.
Auch wenn der Blickwinkel von meiner Position aus, leider nicht ganz so optimal ist.

Many don’t realize that two thirds of Oregon is considered high desert, and that something like the Alvord Desert exists in our gorgeous state. One of the great things about Oregon is how diverse the geology and landscape is, and that you can visit the coast one day, and be in the Alvord Desert camping on the playa and staring up at the milky way the next. (from That Oregon Life)
The Alvord Desert is one of the largest playas in Oregon at six miles wide and eleven miles long. This remote playa sits at approximately 4,000 feet in elevation and is the perfect place to camp and enjoy nature.
I was told by another camper, that this crystalline substance on the lake is an alkaline salt deposit. What ever it is, it is crunchy and has a bit of sparkle when the sun catches it right.
This was taken very early in the morning. It was still quite cold but since you can drive out on the playa I kept jumping back in my car to get warm.

Pahto (Mount Adams), seen from Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
Last weekend I decided to meet up with a friend for a sunset hike at Mount Rainier National Park. We made detailed plans ahead of time for both the hike and sunset watching, and then ended up both arriving later than planned, doing a different hike, and hiking more slowly than anticipated due to snow (yes, more snow!) on the trail and a stop to search for my friend's dropped phone. But sunset wasn't until 8:51pm so we figured we still had plenty of time.
We were hiking with the sun behind us, and time was flying by as it has a way of doing when we hike together, so when we emerged from a forested section of the trail into a meadow, we suddenly noticed that the sun was starting to drop into the trees, and realized we had to turn around and hustle back down the trail to where we had planned to watch the sunset over Tahoma (Mount Rainier).
As we hiked at a quick pace back, through every break in the trees, my eyes were drawn to this view of Pahto and the south Cascades. In the evening light, with that fog rising from the forest below, I finally decided it was necessary to stop for photos, despite our time constraints.
Note: Pahto is the second highest peak in Washington, standing 12,281 feet/3743 meters tall and is considered one of the 5 active volcanoes in the state, although the last eruption was 1000 years ago. It is one of the five sacred mountains to the native Yakama peoples and part of the mountain is territory of the Yakama Nation.
“Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.”
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I walked into the sad part of sunset and as I was there talking to myself, I realized that the other side was oh so close, only a step away, but I could not go astray....My side was already chosen ...To be among the hues of orange and red and forever be sad...b.mikic
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.
..... didn´t realized I was the dinner, though !!
It´s no shortcut to church, but I guess that is my destination anyway.... eventually.

"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 too fell in love in the past
It was this love that inflamed my life
Realized the cost of this love,
It was my youth that slipped away.
I was on my knees.. but
She was not to be mine
I lost myself in the end
in the green sea of her eyes
Though I haven't hugged her on the waist, I did not let go of my passion.
It's been a sad adventure, they took her away from my hand.
She became someone else's, others became happy.
My heart became all over a place in ruin.
The past is a wound in my heart
My fortune is darker than my hair
What tears me up from time to time
is this sad memory of her.
Has never let me sleep in her bosom
Has never consoled me with a kiss
Many years passed since
That woman too forgot me.
Though I haven't hugged her on the waist, I did not let go of my passion.
It's been a sad adventure, they took her away from my hand.
She became someone else's, others became happy.
My heart became all over a place in ruin.
It is the first Turkish tango (Tango Turco) composed by Necip Celal Andel, whose lyrics were written by Necdet Rüştü Efe Tara.
After it was composed in 1928, its first interpretation was sung by Seyyan Hanım, one of the famous voices of the period, in 1932, and it has preserved its place among the much-loved tangos ever since.
Recently, it has been reinterpreted by Ms. Dilek Türkan.
We know rainbows for their renowned beauty and for the fact that they form when the sun hits water particles in the sky at 22 degrees usually in mid morning or late afternoon. But, there is a whole lot more to a rainbow than what many may know. It is a symbol to remind the world that God would never flood the whole earth ever again. We know the science behind a rainbow and many other natural wonders that leave us breathless. What we don't realize is that creation responds to its Creator. Rainbows form across the sky as a reminder and a promise. Winds come to a calm by a word from the mouth of Jesus. The whole Earth and everything it contains was formed by a word spoken from its Creator, the LORD of all of heaven and earth. What is so special to me about rainbows is that they truly have symbolized promises made to us and answered prayers from God. I asked for a rainbow on my engagement day and there was a rainbow, I asked for a rainbow over a lake on the day of our wedding shower and there was a rainbow over a lake on our wedding shower as a promised reminder of the covenant to come.

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.
Same deal, if you would like to comment on this series, drop the comment over here flic.kr/p/2kTxRt1
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)

Silent Lucidity
Queensrÿche
Hush now don't cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over
Or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run to in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize it and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly, you hear and see
This magic new dimension
I will be watching over you
I am gonna help you see it through
I will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity
Visualize your dream
Record it in the present tense
Put it into a permanent form
If you persist in your efforts
You can achieve dream control
Dream control
How's that then, better?
Dream control
Dream control (hug me)
Dream control
Hug me
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but
I will be watching over you
I am gonna help you see it through
I will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you

A row of buildings in Luebeck, a town in North Germany. I read that these were used for salt storage. I took the buildings (3 or 4 pictures) on a gloomy afternoon 4 years ago and stitched them together. I had in mind to just use the buildings and have the already washed out sky brilliantly white. But I never liked that look and the buildings always seemed askew. One day I realized that it was not about my image, they really were askew. And then I played around with my trusted presets in LR and now I began to like what I saw. I also added texture and fake snow. No white sky now, much better.
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! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

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.

if they're the right one, you won't have to tell them not to cheat, to unfollow their exes, or to respect you when you're not around. you won't have to teach them how to treat you at all.
While driving along the Kings Canyon we realized it was only a couple hours to sunset. Importantly we had not decided any place where we wanted to get the sunset. For a change it was drizzling all afternoon and I was thinking of getting some nice post-rain clouds for the sunset. We finally decided to drive back to Sequoia and get the sunset at the Moro Rock. It was about an hour away from the Kings Canyon National Park.
As we arrived at the spot after climbing like 500 stairs, we were greeted with this awesome view. This is the west side where all the magic was happening.
The stairs go right to the top, an exasperating climb but completely worth the effort. At times a bit unsafe as the railings are absent, but no biggy! Excellent place to watch stars if you stay late on the top. This was taken from about half climb where there is a small balcony put out to watch the wavy valley.
The windy roads down the valley looked tempting. I instantly wanted to get the light trails of the cars driving back from the NP. I stayed up late and tried many exposures before I was sure about the settings. About 20min after the sunset I started to see the trials in 3-4min exposures but still the top of the photograph was too exposed. Had to wait a bit more for the light on the top to get less intense. The worry was the valley can get too dark! This was my third and final shot with a 6min exposure after the sun was completely down. Eventually, I realized its only a 15min window when the light is right to expose the shot right and get the trails distinct enough to stand out of the scene. The lights in the back is Visalia and Tulare.
Will post a few more shots from a day before.

Please don't post any graphics or awards. I just want to know what you think and highly appreciate any inputs to improve my photographs. Thank you for your favorites and comments!
Realized the other shot had been posted before....sorry.
This was last winter but we have had a couple of days here and there with some snow that stayed.
This is not an explored image but I have been very lucky as of late to have my images go to Explore. Some were good shots and some meh.... Seems to be every couple of weeks. Still lucky at any rate.
