A building in Canary Wharf, East London, which I have turned on its side purely to extract abstract patterns...... it was not occupied at the time.

This apartment building is One Park Drive. Architects: Herzog & de Meuron

This is another view of the Bernini’s spiral staircase, looking up at the residential apartment attached to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. The “hidden” staircase can only be viewed through a guided tour conducted by the Basilica’s personnel.

♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥

Thanks so much for your visits.

This is the Halifax Building in West Yorkshire, built from 1968 to 1974 as the headquarters of the Halifax Building Society. Architects: Building Design Partnership.

Ok, so maybe it’s not such a simple abstract….

Detail shot of the recently refurbished Port Authority Building, Tarragona, Spain.

A brutalist building designed in the 1970s, constructed in 1978, by the local architect Josep Maria Garreta Cusidó that stands boldly on Tarragona’s shoreline.

“This is the true fruit and true purpose of Christian solitude: that what we learn leads us out to others with a stronger love that is pure. We can go out to them without vanity and without complacency, loving others with something of the purity and gentleness and hiddenness of God’s love for us. We do not cease to be men in order to become angels or gods, but the love of my man’s heart becomes God’s love for God and men, and my human tears can fall from my eyes as the tears of God because they well up from the motion of His Spirit in the heart of His incarnate Son. The one true God sent His only begotten Son to men in the likeness of man that they, while still remaining men, might love Him with a divine love.”

- Thomas Merton from Thoughts in Solitude pgs. 129-130

"The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong." - Laura Ingalls Wilder

These past few days have felt like summer with warm temperatures, sunny skies and trees turning that wonderful lime green with new leaves. So I have been distracted from Flickr by doing the things I love to do in the summer. My garden is looking so great. I worked on an art project for my garden as well as tidied up the weeds. I have enjoyed watching all the beautiful birds visit my backyard and a few of them build nests. We have meals on our back deck which feels like camping. We hike long urban hikes which includes our local park. Then last night we camped out all night in our backyard.

The Trilliums are out and I said I wouldn't take any more Trillium pictures because I have so many good ones in my files. However, there was the odd one posed so nicely that it caught my attention. This one had such a gentle Purple/red color compared to the others in its group that I honored it with a portrait. It also made me stop to realize that I normally would take this pictures on the Bruce Trail. With that trail being closed right now I was glad to see the blooms in our own park nearby.

I also realized that it was the simple pleasures of outdoor experiences I love so much and it didn't really matter where these things happened. It can be in our own backyard. The things we see every year can be beautiful each time you see them again if you use fresh eyes.

Have a great weekend my friends :-)

Another photo of this car park in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, affectionately known as the ‘Cheesegrater’. It was designed by architects Allies and Morrison.

In 2009 it won a RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Regional Award. These awards are given to UK buildings for their regional architectural importance. In 2013 it gained third place in the 'World’s Coolest Car Park' awards.

I was lucky to visit it on a sunny day in June 2022.

A lovely, and nearly perfect, Chrysanthemum left over from a Valentine's bouquet! Such a joy to see....flower power!

Finding beauty alongside the creek near my backyard.

Shadows and silhouettes. Looking through the window of a derelict warehouse in West Yorkshire on a sunny day.

The light showing through the space where the roof once was has created an abstract feel to the dilapidated structure behind the window.

I got caught up in the race

I kept spinning and turning

Lost myself my hope my faith

The Scalpel, one of the latest additions to the City of London skyline and its neighbouring building.

I was born in Poland in the early 80's. The times of the worst political system in the world, the times when the only thing you could buy at store was vinegar, when you had to stand in lines for several days and nights to buy a piece of furniture and if you wanted to buy a toilet paper you had to bring a string with you. But I don't remember all that. All I remember that those were the happiest days of my life because I was with my brother and parents. It sometimes is not so obvious with the world filled with toys, noise, media that what my kids need the most is me. And spending time with them is the best thing I can do for them.

Just sitting at my desk on this snowy/rainy afternoon.

... just torch ... on a piece of paper in a dark room ...

Out in the country, she walks with her horses through fields that don’t hurry. No clock, no crowd — just the smell of hay, the sound of hooves, and a life made of simple, honest days
