See this single lit up flower? Well, that's me today. Not that I am bright, or white, or anything special. Only that I must stand up and speak out.
Today!
About the craziness that is Flickr!
The emotional health of my friends here on Flickr is of a great concern to me.
I see so many people crushed by the weight of Flickring, and trying to "catch up." (Here's a clue --- you can't ever catch up, so why bother trying to?)
And so many thinking they need to apologize. Can we all just stop that nonsense now? Please?
If I can lift even one ounce of "guilt" from your shoulders by telling you, "It's okay," then I will do so.
To all my Flickr friends:
"Stop saying, "Sorry." You are my friend. Whether or not you visit my images makes no differnce to me. And whether or not I visit your images regularly shouldn't make a difference to you, either. That is, if we are truly friends.
In real life, I don't see or even speak to my friends every day! So, why should I do that on Flickr? Why?
For EXPLORE purposes? That's just stupid.
I am about friendship. If you don't see that, then you have missed the point.
It's nice to have an image explored, but that is NOT what I am about.
I am about friendship. If you and I are friends, then we ARE friends. No matter how many times you do or do not visit my photostream. Okay?
And, I am about great photography and art! And enjoying the creativity that comes from a friend's soul. I visit your photostream, because I LIKE your art! Not because I am trying to get you to reciprocate. That you do visit my photostream, is wonderful. And it reminds me to come and visit yours.
So, understand this...I will see you when I see you. And you will see me...when you see me.
Blessings to all of you who are struggling with Flickr commitments.
My prayer for you is that you stop struggling, relax, and just enjoy. Take time to smell the roses.
And another thing...I HATE the *&%R^$#^& word, "Ban!" I am so sick of seeing that word on Flickr. I can barely express my disgust. Are we children? Criminals? Are we intent on wrong-doing? Good grief!!!
If you want to hang out at a group that doesn't use the word, "ban," then try Mama's Bloomers. We have rules, but we don't have any threats for non-compliance. We expect that we are all adults, and can conduct ourselves accordingly.
Please, my friends, relax. You came to Flickr because you love photography. Can we just get back to that?
Can we?
Please?
Blessings,
Sheree
(Shot this in one of my absolute favorite places in the world - a farmers market. I saw the sun lighting up this single bloom, and I had to make it mine!!!)
One of at least a dozen migrating Monarchs in the butterfly gardens at The Holden Arboretum - Lake County, OH
This narrow one-lane tunnel passes through the Marin headlands. Traffic lights [hopefully] allow only cars traveling in one direction to alternatively pass through the tunnel.
This was shot from a moving car using an ISO of 3200. (I was not driving, by the way.) The orange color is from the sodium-vapor lights inside the tunnel. It's actually more of a concrete gray.
A single snowdrop for the 2014 season, seen here in the gardens of Hodsock Priory in Nottinghamshire, as part of the February snowdrop season they open the grounds to visitors to admire the beauty of the small white flowers.
ODC Interesting. Many things are interesting to me, but Gwennie is near the top of the list.

Merry Chistmas and a Happy New Year to all my flickr friends!
We spent a lovely Christmas week visiting my Aunt & Uncle in Austria. They live in a wonderful house overlooking the beautiful Millstaetter Lake , and always make us feel very welcome.
(my spies tell me this picture apparently made it to No 69 in explore on the 18th of Feb. Thank you all- and thanks lg...)
Prompt: Create a single ultra-realistic digital fine art image depicting an anthropomorphic West Highland White Terrier (Westie) as a professional luge athlete. The Westie has expressive, intelligent eyes and realistic white fur texture, with subtle anthropomorphic posture while clearly retaining canine anatomy and likeness. The dog is lying face-up, feet-first on a sleek carbon-fiber luge sled, racing through a modern Olympic luge ice track at extreme speed. The course curves sharply with icy walls, motion blur, flying ice particles, and frosted vapor emphasizing velocity and danger. The Westie is dressed in authentic Team USA Olympic luge attire: a form-fitting aerodynamic race suit in red, white, and blue, USA markings, stars and stripes accents, protective gloves, and helmet-style headgear adapted naturally for a dog. Lighting is dramatic and cinematic, with cold blue ice reflections, high contrast highlights, and crisp shadows. Camera angle is dynamic low-front perspective, slightly tilted for intensity. Hyper-detailed fur, fabric, ice texture, and reflections; no cartoon styling. Vertical aspect ratio. Photorealistic, ultra-sharp, competition realism, no text, no logos beyond Team USA markings.
This digital fine art was created using OpenAI Sora AI and Photoshop

Lake Wilderness Arboretum
Maple Valley, Washington
In June I took a day to visit Lake Wilderness Arboretum. To learn more about my visit and to see more photos, check out my post Discovering Beautiful Lake Wilderness Arboretum and Park on my blog Batteredsuitcase.net
The Kingsbury-Humber discharge tanks, as you can plainly see with a Shed up front and not a Tug, crosses the River Witham, giving a somewhat fuzzy reflection as it does so.
Later on, and I must point out that I've only just found this out, the Colas Rectory Junction which RTT said was cancelled, ran. This is now becoming horribly obvious to me, a very difficult train to photograph. Of the three times I've headed out in this direction, twice it has not run due to whatever problem and this last time I drove off fully understanding it had been cancelled and as already pointed out, it ran. At the precise moment it crossed where this shot was taken, I was stuck in traffic heading for the A46. My horoscope said nothing about this in my future, not a single sausage... Mystic Meg, I need help! The stars WILL align one of these days.
If anyone fancies meeting up in Lincoln to track this damn train down, let me know.
Ex oil, and water I guess.
Class 150 diesel multiple unit No. 150242 (coupled to Class 153 No. 153303) waits at Pembroke Dock station with the 17:09 service to Swansea on Wednesday 15th February 2012.
I needed the track between Pembroke Dock and Tenby so I devised a little trip to do it. Starting from Haverfordwest I caught a bus to Pembroke Dock, then boarded the train shown above, alighting at Narberth. From there I mounted my Brompton and cycled the last few miles to the place we were staying on holiday.

Thanks a lot for your comments and faves! :)
Up close and personal with one of the charcoal kilns from the ghost town of Bayhorse in Custer County Idaho. The smelters took a large quantity of tree to run and is part of the transformation of the surrounding landscape and its impact as seen for miles.

I know, I know. Another sissy shot. But I'm sorta gettin in touch with the girlie side, so I might post a couple more of these this week. But... to offset it, I did take an hdr of a piece of farm equipment this week, that I can post later.

"The Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in the country with a width of 25 metres (82 feet) and a drop of 60 m (200 ft). Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is normally visible on sunny days. According to legend, the first Viking settler in the area, Þrasi Þórólfsson, buried a treasure in a cave behind the waterfall. The legend continues that locals found the chest years later, but were only able to grasp the ring on the side of the chest before it disappeared again. The ring was allegedly given to the local church. The old church door ring is now in a museum, though whether it gives any credence to the folklore is debatable." (Wikipedia)

"Nachdem die Küstenlinie sich nach Süden verschoben hatte, blieb über Hunderte von Kilometern ein Steilabfall vom isländischen Hochland Richtung Meer übrig.
An einer solchen Stelle ergießt sich der Skógafoss über eine Breite von 25 Metern 60 Meter in die Tiefe.
[...]
Eine Sage erzählt, dass der erste Wikingersiedler in dieser Gegend, Þrasi Þórólfsson, einen Schatz in einer Höhle hinter dem Skógafoss vergraben hat. Jahre später entdeckte ein isländischer Junge die Truhe, konnte aber nur nach dem Griff greifen, ehe die Kiste verschwand. Der Ring der Schatztruhe wird jetzt im Museum Skógasafn verwahrt."
