sitting on a bench in a park, enjoying the first sunny evening of the (probably) second last "summer time" (daylight saving time):
serenity ... and a little wistfulness (I will miss the DST with the "longer" daylight of spring and summer evenings) !!
(and yes: I forgot to change the time in my camera once again - so the time was 18:55 / 7 pm in fact)

... die Abendsonne genießen
Diesen wunderschönen Blick auf die gold-rot glühenden Blätter einer Buchenhecke hatte ich am ersten sonnigen Abend der (wahrscheinlich) vorletzten "Sommerzeit" von einer Parkbank aus:
Balsam für die Seele, aber auch ein wenig Wehmut (... ich werde die "Sommerzeit" mit dem längeren Tageslicht an den Abenden vermissen!)
(und ja: ich hatte - wieder mal - die Uhr in der Kamera nicht rechtzeitig umgestellt ... es war daher tatsächlich schon fast 19 Uhr)
Sometime, in this past decade, snow clearing has become a major winter industry. I can't count the number of contractors in town -- well I could but i can't be bothered. We are on about our 5th, and I think we like the current gut the best. Yesterday, when I got up at 3:30, I looked out the window, and our drive had been plowed, but the town plows has deposited a bank at the edge of the drive. When I looked again, it had also been plowed. That's what we like best about this contractor -- he returns for a second pass in good time.
This was our contractor but is not our street. I just happened to see him and grab a quick photo while out walking.By the time we returned home, our drive had also been plowed.

I've fought through the pain
Through the wood through the steel and the blood
I've broken you #FatherFreud just as much as you broke my spirit the past weeks
And now.. Me and Bunny,
We're together again❤️

Elsa is saving a couple Mpolys. Maybe she can buy a new pair of shoes soon.
This piggy bank is Hamm from Toy Story.
Blythe a Day. January 2026. Day 24.
Another one of this beautiful White Peacock butterfly in the backyard. The backyard has gotten away from me AGAIN as my health has been awful. But here was this beauty. The sprinklers were on (it's so hot here) and it was on the beautiful Lantana. Unfortunately, one of my water buckets (turned over ... I use them to catch rainwater, etc.) was in her background. So I cropped this sucker three times and resized it each time. Painted it which I love to do anyway, and I was pleased that my editing skills sometimes save my ruined photos. My pride gets in the way sometimes, so I didn't let it this time, the shot of the butterfly WAS perfect before all the cropping. And those are water drops from the sprinklers which I wanted to save, too, but ...
The Saving Grace when the World has gone Mad
In shadows deep where madness reigns,
The heart of earth beats loud with pain,
Through chaos thick the spirits wade,
Yet find in darkness a light's cascade.
As Beauty fades in the grasp of fear,
The souls imprisoned shed their tears;
With every blow from Hate's cruel hand,
They rise anew to take a stand.
For once in silence all was lost,
When Nature wept at her heavy cost;
The whispers of ghosts from histories past,
Echo the lessons too long amassed.
Adversity walks a path unknown,
In fields once lush, now overgrown;
But through the fire of forged despair,
Blooms the strength of the ones who dare.
Death’s cold breath wraps close its claims,
Yet life persists amidst the frames;
A tapestry woven with threads of strife,
Unraveling truths about this life.
Betrayed by power’s relentless chase,
We yearn for Justice—a saving grace;
Through desolate nights where terrors play,
Hope glimmers softly in shades of gray.
Communities rise where division falls,
In unity’s warmth, each spirit calls;
To break free from chains that bind our sight—
Empathy shines like stars in the night.
Though politics twist and turn like fates,
And History whispers of vengeful states;
We gather our hearts and draw forth our might—
To shape a tomorrow bathed in light.
Oh journey through peace—let hatred cease!
In Nature's cradle find our release;
For through this madness we still must strive—
In love and compassion we find our drive.
So lift your gaze when darkness is near,
For even in peril true hope appears;
And as we forge through our mortal fate—
Together we've sculpted a world less great.
I took this snapshot eight years ago. It came up yesterday on my Amazon cloud storage because of the link that shows all of my photos on their anniversary.
Other than the fact that I took this on January 21, 2009 and that in a wider shot there was a dragon on the roof. I have no clue where this was or what it was for.

I have been collecting memories for a life time.....albums, pictures, and stories ......... storing them as we all have. This is a reminder of the beauty of it all!
A wind turbine dominates the landscape & towers over a large tree, making it look small. Great Orton Wind Farm, Cumbria, UK.
I'm living in this fantasy
You are the words to my melody....Is this a dream?
I'm losing touch with reality
Unsure if you're killing me
Or saving me....
Baby I don't know.
Every two weeks our local Council provides a collection service for household recyclable items.
Garden refuse and plastics are collected separately and this vehicle collects paper, card, glass and tins.
They didn't want to say goodbye to winter, or to Frosty, who was truly an outstanding snowman. So they saved his head (the only part of him that would fit in the refrigerator), turned the temperature all the way down, and hoped for the best.
Vera Florentine and Nellie Nibbles are the actresses in today's little drama. This picture is for the theme "snow." It was the best I could do!
This was taken while my beautiful friend and photog Christine was visiting...she brought the rainy weather with her from Seattle, which turned out to be a great thing for photography :-) We traveled all up and down SoCal taking photos...she even took some of me. This one is a self portrait also featuring Olivia Clemens :-)
Now I am in PA for a week visiting family...a much needed trip as I was extremely homesick and longed for the familiar feeling of a cool breeze, autumn leaves, and my dad's famous soups.

As the sun sets on the evening of Sunday, March 9, 2025 - the first day of Daylight Savings Time - an eastbound BNSF "Z" train carries intermodal loads through the hills of Granby, MO.
Dieses schöne alte Bank-Gebäude mit der güldenen Kuppel über dem Uhrturm habe ich schon unzählige Male fotografiert, aber in Kombination mit dem blauen Himmel ist es immer wieder unwiderstehlich...
Quer über die Straße, keine 300m entfernt, steht das Weiße Haus.
The National Saving And Trust Company, presently occupied by Sun Trust Bank is a historic bank building located at the corner of New York Avenue and 15th Street, NW in Downtown Washington, D.C. It was designed by architect James H. Windrim and built in 1888. The Queen Anne Style building is constructed in red brick, and elaborately detailed with copper and terracotta (Wiki)
Something more hopeful this time... I love black and white photography and i truly feel that most of my work will be b&w, but i really like some concepts with color. It's hard making the commitment to a certain style even if it evolves in an organic way. You are always learning, always changing.
This one is about holding on to your dreams even if it looks you are loosing, and trying to get there alone... Keep going, you can't insert a coin for continues.
These are the bulbs that produce the light for Fanad Lighthouse on Fanad peninsula, Donegal, Ireland. If I remember rightly, one set of two are backed up by the other other set of two.
When you have a full fridge, no cake saver, and need to safely store a cake from marauding critters, you store that confection in the microwave - right?.....

The two pirates of Pen's Aunts are discussing how to save time since Daylight Saving Time is soon to come. But their discussion ended when the Clock King came waltzing by. "Great timing," the first pirate grunted. "It looks like we have more time to kill!"
"Nah," retorted the other. "It looks like you have a lot of time on your hand already. And besides,do we really save any daylight by switching our clocks around?"
They begin singing:
"A rollicking band of pirates we,
Who, tired of tossing on the sea,
Are trying their hand at a burglaree,
With weapons grim and gory."
