“Yes, star-crossed in pleasure,
the stream flows on by
Yes, as we're sated in leisure,
we watch it fly, yes
And time waits for no one,
and it won't wait for me
And time waits for no one,
and it won't wait for me…
Drink in your summer,
gather your corn
The dreams of the nighttime
will vanish by dawn
And time waits for no one,
and it won't wait for me”

The world is a small place and many times people enter your life and some leave. Others you can't get rid of no matter how hard you try ... lol (kiddingg!!!). But through it all these special individuals become friends, family. The ones that keep you grounded, are not afraid to tell you when you are dead wrong, or when you are correct, tells you to stop being an ass or that is ok to be an ass, lend needed counsel when it's needed. A listening ear when its needed, in your corner when RL or SL life feels as though it is spiraling out of control, but at all times genuine. Over the past 7 years this has been my sister to me. Always awesome!
Laowa 2X Macro - f/8.0
Since this is a totally manual lens, the camera doesn't record most of the EXIF data. Learning to use this lens is definitely a 'work in progress' for me. My other macro lens is a 50mm Zeiss, which basically makes everything look better. I think maybe the Laowa lens requires a certain skill (which I don't have just yet) to create a quality image.
The spoon is a small vintage "grapefruit" spoon. The bowl of this spoon at this angle is 1.5" wide. Super 2X macro is a wonderful thing !!
As he sat there, the coldness of life steadily draining away as the emptying of a vessel, an addled expression marked his visage. The glinting of the beautifully crafted metal protruding his chest stained in crimson red, gave his reeling thoughts pause. All seemed surreal in the moment. Casting a look to his left hand, the smoking gun held therein felt too heavy to lift. An imperceptible scoff escaped his blood stained lips and within this solitude of silence, a presence was there. Her voice beautiful and calm. Seductive and reassuring.
"Believe in me and give in"
The man turned his head only slightly and responded, "I didn't expect you."
She uttered a soft laugh. It was the sweetest laugh one would ever hear. Then she replied, "No one ever does."
He heard her voice and the warmth of her breath upon the skin of his ear, and her soothing voice once more, "You are bleeding. You do not have to. I can help you, if you would only trust in me."
In disgust he spat, "You drove your blade through my chest. Caused me immeasurable pain, and you want me to trust you. Not a chance!"
She exhaled a soft sigh, "It is not my intention to cause pain. People have hunted me, fallen for me, died for me, lived for me, spoke ill of me, spoken good of me, not trusted me. And only a few took the opportunity to truly know me. Most of all, although you have never once took notice of me, I do know you, better than you know yourself, and have been with you all along."
The slumped man soaked in blood gasped for air, and looked into the intense beauty of her face. The most beautiful woman he had ever existed, or will ever exist.
A look of concern and care caressed her features and she whisper insistance, "You are expiring, you do not have long. Please, do not be cold. Do not be hard hearted. Let me help you."
With a look of disdain the gargled inquiry, "Who are you?"
"You already know who I am." She regarded him curiously, "I am Love."
His eyes glared in foul rage, and with all his force he seethed, "I will never believe in you. I will never trust you."
With a heavy heart she stood away from him, the tears began streaming her face, and with an almost inaudible whisper, "Then you are truly dead."

Aerial view of Svalbard, seen from a night flight from Oslo to Svalbard's main town Longyearbyen. At such high northern latitudes, the sun never sets in late May, so that this midnight scene (local time about 1 am) looks like a late afternoon.
Camera: Canon PowerShot G12.
Edited with Adobe Photoshop.
The second upload from the recent visit to Gauxholme, albeit taken some 40 minutes earlier to the one shared a week or so ago. The cloud was still in the process of burning off and there was a hint of mist in the valley, all making the light a bit softer.
Knowing I'd be snapping DMUs for a while I adopted a different position which I thought suited shorter trains. Luckily a brief interlude of sunshine over the viaduct coincided with the passing of this CAF class 195, unit 195108, working Northern's 10.58am Manchester Victoria - Leeds service (1J08).
If you follow the valley around, you can just see the elegant outline of the classically designed Todmorden Town Hall. Built in 1875, it's certainly one of the most striking, and perhaps even the finest, of buildings in these parts.
A steep-sided valley notorious for the three forms of transport competing for space on its narrow floor, in addition to the railway, you can see the Rochdale Canal and the A6033 road to Manchester in the frame.
Still catching up after a few days away so commenting is turned off for this one, thanks. Better viewed full-screen.

Looking across Stirkfield Hope from Green Law on the Broughton Heights as the light invades the shadows.
The Beguinage in Bruges, founded around 1244, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The small white buildings are from the late 16th, 17th and 18th century.
There are no more Beguines living there, however, this place of silence and peace is the residence of Benedictine nuns nowadays.

Another egg showed up in the nest. I did not get a picture of all of them hatched, mommy was mad. They are getting big now, starting to get feathers. I'll be posting more pictures when time permits. They're super cute. :)

The weather is permitting so I have now been able to start my daily 6 mile bike ride around the lake,through the woods on some fantastic trails. It is the most enjoyable experience of my day. I find it extremely soothing for my mind and body. It gives me some quiet reflection time and a good work out to get that blood pumping.
My husband so kindly bought me the cool bike. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning getting their first bike. I am a lucky girl. I think this is the best present EVER! :)

I love my hammock. I could rest in there all day with a good book. Nothing beats a hammock nap either. :)
Standing by the great London Plane tree in the morning light, the roots were lit and the leaves on the tree were being reflected in the lake beyond.
