True love from the heart is eternal. I take pride in being 100% real and bleed passion and knowledge it self. People come in and out of our lives, we can just hope when it's time to part we can live forever within each other. Good spirits travel and stick to true love of our connections.

There's a limit to what you can photograph when you have to self-isolate. So out with my long lens to capture this bird sitting alone for a while on a branch of a neighbour's tree at sunrise - a bit like me! I had symptoms - sore throat, runny nose, fatigue - for a week but can't complain. Covid has caused many people a lot more pain and grief.
I am really looking forward to getting out and about again. Another day to go...
Self heal [Prunella vulgaris]
In our garden this little plant grows with gay abandon in our poor well drained almost structureless soil. An ideal habit indeed.
Handsome as self heal is, its tendency to creep and success in self seeding does not put a smile on a gardeners face. I however, have left self heal to do its thing unmolested in our rockery.
I used a vintage lens, namely the Takumar 55mm f2:2. Wide open
Messing around with ideas for a self portrait contest in the North Alabama Photographers Guild (NAPG) group here on Flickr. This is the type of portrait photography I like to do, so it seemed fitting to portray myself as the model and the photographer.
I was going to change shirts and pants for each shot, but it was kinda cool out and getting late, so I didn't bother. :-)
Wow! #14 (2/23/09) on Explore!
The water was 18 degrees and I enjoy wild swimming. But, I'd reached my limit and was starting to feel cold so I quickly grabbed the fabric and made about 8 images in the last minute I was swimming in the river.
I didn't have time to think about posing, but recently this image resonates.
(Many thanks to the group of ladies I went with and Chiara for pressing the remote control button because I didn't trust myself not to drop it in the river.)

I had a slight mental breakdown yesterday. I think it was a mixture of stress from finals and a feeling of photographic inadequacy. I keep seeing the amazing photos others are creating and the success they are having and feeling like mine will never be as good. I kept looking back at all my photos and found that most of the ones I was most proud of were from months ago or were followed by ones that I really don’t care for. I started having a personal identity crisis and just wanted to crawl into a hole and hibernate until I was ready to face the world. I eventually decided that what I really needed was to go out and lose myself in the forest. I ended up going to a completely different area of the forest and just wandering about and ended up finding an amazing area that I plan on shooting in a lot. It was exactly what I needed. I eventually got out of my funk and realized that I was the only one creating my problems and was the only one who could fix them. If I want to get better I need to put in more effort. It’s as simple as that. So today while editing this I made myself become a perfectionist, working every detail until I got it how I wanted it. And then my computer shut off for no reason at all, of course on the one day that I wasn’t saving every so often. I wanted to rage/cry. But instead I just turned it back on and started all over again. I got this.
Also on a separate note, a lot of you are commenting on how cold I must have been. Well surprisingly it hasn’t actually been that cold. It’s usually been around only 32ºF, yesterday even getting up to 37! This is like October weather for Montana. Usually by now we could easily be having wind chill down to -20ºF or colder!
I'm going to put a rotated version of this on my Facebook becasue it loses the concept but has a strange uneasiness to it. Formspring. Tumblr
Taken on my 28th birthday. It's the feeling of doubting on yourself so much sometimes that it's like pushing yourself under water. Hopefully when I do the self portrait next year, I feel more confident and I have a better vision of where I am going. A lot of work ahead Also on another note: It's so hard to be in front of the camera!!! I just felt like a crazy person in public beach going into the water wearing my favourite dress and pulling funny poses A huge thank you to Brian who was the one who helped me out and took this photo based on my instructions
A Green heron not to far from the nest. On a few occasions, I was fortunate to witness the change of guard at this nest site. Shortly after one parent would emerge from the nest and stretch a couple of times, the other would return. Telepathy?
Taken earlier this year. Wildwood Lake, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Thank you so much for visiting!
Self-anointing is a behaviour exhibited by all species of Hedgehog, but nobody really knows why they do it. I have never seen a wild Hedgehog self-anoint, but rearing this orphaned youngster has given me plenty of opportunities to witness it. They create a foamy saliva then undergo contortions to cover those hard-to-reach bits using their surprisingly long tongues. You can see the foamy saliva on that ridge near her tongue. My Hedgehog self-anoints when she tastes or smells something new, such as the first time she tasted cat-food, a worm, marjoram, and even after licking my son's feet. But sometimes she just does it for no apparent reason. The term self-anointing was coined by Maurice Burton, and was first used in a 1958 paper in New Scientist documenting the behaviour. But the behaviour was first recorded by German zoologist Ludwig Heck in 1912, when he called it selbstbespuchen, or ‘self-spitting’. Various theories have been put forward to exlain it (eg masking their smell, creating an extra irritant for would-be predators, deterring parasites) but for each idea there are examples that run counter to it. Anyway, there seem to be very few photographs on Flickr showing this behaviour, and it is something I wasn't previously aware of, so I thought I would share it. If you want to read more about the various theories attempting to explain the behaviour this is the best site: www.wildlifeonline.me.uk/animals/article/european-hedgeho...
