BNSF SD75M number 260 is seen outside of Mid American Car in Kansas City. This engine is still painted in the iconic Warbonnet colors. A large puddle made a semi reflection shot possible.
A little self reflection in the evening, alone in the evening sun, alone by the pond, gathering wool.
You know, someone wrote that 80% of human pain and misery could well be erased by a few hours alone each day in a quiet, empty room. I know it works for me.
I've been tagged by my new full of life friend,
Jaime973. So here are 10 random things about me.
1 - I'm a trained Swiss graphic designer by trade.
2 - I attended the same summer program that Kevin Bacon went to, PA Governor School for the Arts.
3 - If I'm rich, I would be a ceramist doing pottery, my first love in art.
4 - I have koi pond in my back yard, I've learn so much about keeping the water clear and clean. I also made lots and lots of mistakes with my pond, that's life, live and learn.
5 - My three design masters that I admire are Paul Rand (an American designer), Ikko Tanaka (a Japanese Designer), and Armin Hofmann (a Swiss Designer).
6 - I love all type of music. From classical to the modern music.
7 - I love to play sports, volleyball was my thing.
8 - I love to be surrounded by people with passions. About life, interest, family, etc.
9 - I'm an old school.
10 - Last, but not least, I'm a sponge in life. I love to soak in what's around me.
I'm not going to tag other people, but please feel free to join the fun. We can all learn a thing or two from each other.
Week # 01 for my 52 Challenge. Week one and the theme is "Every journey starts with a...".
*Every journey start with self-reflection.
*Every journey starts with reflecting on the past (so you don't repeat you past mistakes!)
This one would have been much easier if I still had my remote control! Need to get another one! Luckily the 70D has a 10sec timer and live view that can flip to the front of the camera....
Now here's to hoping this journey starts with photo 1 of 52 and ends with photo 52 of 52!!! :)

Hello my Flickr friends!!!
Today we celebrate the orange color at Color My world Daily Group. Teddy Bears are our heroes at Happy Teddy Bear Tuesdays. And finally, “in the mirror” is the theme at the awesome Crazy Tuesday! Group.
Mr. Teddy Bear was supposed to practice social distancing after his quarantine with Red Lady. He wasn’t doing that bad: he only left his house a few times and each time he was keeping a safe distance between himself and others. He didn’t invite any friends over, and he only spoke on telephone with his beloved Mom.
Today, Mr. Teddy Bear had a phone call. His brother in law, a Russian circus bear named Borys, needed his help. Mr. Teddy Bear didn’t want to offend his brother in law and have any problems with his own sister after the end of the pandemic… So Teddy Bear agreed to meet Borys in his dance studio…Apparently, Borys was very active and worldwide known as a dancing bear ! He had a very good reputation and was a celebrity in his field… His partner, another Russian and circus bear named Igor, was nowhere to be found… According to the last news of Igor, he was waiting in line at the liquor store… Some people were saying that the liquor stores will be closed during the pandemic, so everybody rushed to buy a few more bottles of alcohol … just in case (and sherry was in high demand because they were giving one roll of toilet paper for everyone buying 5 bottles of sherry or more!!).
Borys had to practice his new dancing act and he badly needed a partner!! His act was standing on one foot on a giant orange and balancing his partner (Igor) while painting (and please take a look at my painting miniature palette, a gift from a very dear friend of mine !!) while dancing to the song Rasputin by Boney M (which he loved very much and it reminded him of communist Russia). The show was only in 6 months, but they had to start practicing very early since it was a very dangerous and time-consuming act!!! So, Borys asked his brother in-law to help...
Mr. Teddy Bear was anxious about not respecting his social distancing rules, but he couldn’t refuse to help Borys…. He was truly a family-oriented bear!
So, when, standing on Borys’s head, listing to Rasputin song and watching himself in the mirror Mr. Teddy Bear decided it was a perfect time to self-reflect on his life…Pandemic is a perfect time to meditate and find what is important in your life…and also sing very loud in your dining room / new office on Boney M and Rasputin (if you don’t know this song, I strongly suggest this link : www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYnVYJDxu2Q), this was a very, very popular song in the 1970-80 in Eastern Europe…
So let’s take the time to drink our coffee and breath very, very slowly and profoundly… and just relax for few minutes …. And I have to go to my new office (dining room !!!). Time to work !! See you later!!! Be safe and healthy!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts / positive vibes!! It is truly appreciated! I sincerely hope everyone is all right and you all have everything you need to survive this with a smile! Have a great day and see you soon!!

Self-reflection
"Ogni tanto... scendeva fino al lago e passava ore a guardarlo, giacché, disegnato sull’acqua, gli pareva di vedere l’inspiegabile spettacolo, lieve, che era stata la sua vita." - Alessandro Baricco.
Alba di qualche giorno fa... avevo le mani congelate ma gli occhi pieni di luce e di bellezza... e la paura di scivolare e scomparire in un istante in questo specchio di cielo e di me.
Buona giornata :)
I got this Tattered texture from Playing with Brushes (thank you so much you are incredible)
so for todays FGR Self Reflection. I was so happy to see this selected today, self reflection is always a good thing... i tend to focus on the bad.. BUT... well anyway I thought about this a lot today and for every bad, I had to have a good...
1. I have worked hard, damn hard, to get where I am and I deserve that sucess
2. I have done some things that I'm not proud of, that I think about all the time, that have hurt people, though never my intention, and I'm sorry and my heart aches for you every mintue of every day
3. I am blessed in life, I have an incredible family and fantastic friends, i'd lay down in traffic for them
4. I like the drama, the sadness, the hardtimes, as much as i hate it, i like it... i think it makes me stronger (that is so weird)
5. I want to be better at everything, instantly, now!
keeps popping into explore... and popping out :)
at the city beach of palma, just before the sun slipped below the horizon, she stood with a selfie stick in hand. for thirty minutes, she turned in slow circles, filming herself against the setting sun. over and over again, as if rehearsing for an audience that wasn’t there. the sky, painted in shades of silver and grey, played its quiet role, indifferent to the performance. it felt absurd, almost theatrical. and so i captured her – a silhouette caught between the ocean and a moment that will never repeat itself.
