So this is a bit of a longer story. I heard that Vivian Maier's work was at the Art Gallery of Hamilton. So yesterday My wife and I tripped down there to check it out. Fantastic. If anyone has the chance to see her work, it is well worth the trip. I was in awe. I saw the DVD some years ago. I don't believe she knew how good she was.

Windows everywhere. Windows on the van. On the little buildings. Window looking out to windows on Hamilton City Hall.
Happy Window Wednesday
I hope, one per day might keep the doctor away :-)

If you look at things long enough, they start looking back.

This is the 105th picture in my series of Reading Arundhati Roy. Here a man is seen with Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things.

da vieles von den genannten "condiments" optisch eher nicht so ansprechend ist hab ich nach einer einfachen klaren ästhetisch ansprechenden Form gesucht - und wie ich sehen konnte haben viele ebenfalls zum Löffel gegriffen ;-)
Shell on a hand, 1 of 2: I love the patterns on these.
Enjoying small things: it was a pleasure to walk along a beach, pick up shells, and look at their patterns. (Near Batemans Bay, NSW)

Finally, a touch of tenderness.
The kind that arrives quietly,
asking for no space.
A tiny violet,
in my parents’ garden.
The first one I noticed.
I removed the color
to restore the dignity of its form,
so often overlooked,
dazzled by what shines the most.
There is no spectacle here.
Only presence.
And that is enough.
Infine, un po’ di dolcezza.
Quella che arriva piano,
senza chiedere spazio.
Una violetta piccolissima,
nel giardino dei miei genitori.
La prima che vedo.
Ho tolto il colore
per restituirle la dignità della sua forma,
spesso ignorata,
abbagliata da ciò che colpisce di più.
Qui non c’è spettacolo.
C’è presenza.
E basta.
Caught this stunning purple flower during my walk through Hainault Forest, London. Nature always manages to surprise with its bursts of color and intricate details. It was a peaceful moment, a reminder to stop and appreciate the little things.

Kalle hat es gewagt. Er ist in das wirklich kalte Wasser. Aber wenn man erstmal ein wenig drin ist geht es eigentlich.

Kalle does it. He went in the really cold water. But if you there for a while it is not such cold any longer.
Hello everyone. I am a little bit busy at the moment with some art work. But this great little view is telling me that I never want to forget the small unperfect moments in life. Where the Sun shines bright and let me smile.
Away from all perfectionism.
So enjoy this summer!! - Nodomé
Amongst the flooded riverbed live a group of gum tree fairies, or so it seems in someone's imagination. At least their home was high enough not to be inundated! HFF
The instant film photos are actually softer (in lower contrast) than shown here. The right-bottom strange one was because mistakenly flashed.
The lower foggy part was probably caused by my mistouching the shutter button during changing aperture.

I went out after a rain to look for fungi and mushrooms. I found many slugs!

I tossed out the idea of a big garden this year and decided to use what we have on the farm.
Old pallets, old tubs, ... great soil from the old Bull Pen...
and some help from my Lego friends.

have a nice week end, you all :-)
Along the shores of the Hungry Horse Reservoir, within the Flathead National Forest in Montana, there are grand views of mountains, trees, and expansive lakes, and there are just as spectacular, smaller views of beauty too--like this little section of colored stones slowly being washed free from a strawberry ice cream colored clay along the banks of the lake. These are fragments of argillite, a fine-grained sedimentary rock composed primarily of indurated clay. Larger slabs and outcrops of this argillite stone are found abundantly in a broad area around Glacier National Park.

Time/Line(d): Joys Of Random Alignments 02:11:11 01/02/2021 - IMRAN™
Got a second? Lend a hand. Or two, or three. Not to me but to your own self. Take a moment to align ... all three hands on the long arms of time of our too short journeys... live, love, laugh.
I happened to see the seconds-hand of a brand-new clock moving towards being totally in-line with the minutes & hours hands on this wall clock I just mounted. I bought it to match the wall color in my living room when the previous timepiece died.
I took the photo just half a second before their total alignment would’ve made it impossible to make out the three separate hands. Nothing earth -shaking to commemorate, it would seem, right? Just another second of the thousands we take for granted, daily. True. But.... stop, see, speculate.
It is a very special event. Not because of the random alignment of the hands on a wall clock, which literally happen every hour at different spots on the clock face. Not because I hung a new thing on the wall. Instead, realize and appreciate that this is another moment you’re blessed to have. Another opportunity to appreciate the tiny details of life which can be routinely ignored or regularly missed, — or by choice turned into something to celebrate,... a moment of joy, a tiny synchronicity, something more to smile about and be grateful for.
Gather enough of moments like these and even the most ordinary days can add up to a happy life fully lived, totally savored. Have you smiled at some random moment of joy today? Do it now. Tick-Tock. Tick-Tick-Tock.

doppelter Bildstabilisator - aufgenommen freihand mit dem LEICA DG Vario-ELMAR 100-400 und 2fach-optischem Zoom der Lumix G9 mit 1/25 sec und 3200 ISO- das entspricht einer auf Kleinbild bezogenen Brennweite von 1600mm. Um damit verwacklungsfreie Aufnahmen zu erreichen, müßte man ohne Bildstabilisator etwa 1/1600sec. belichten. Kamera und Objektiv haben einen eigenen Bildstabilisator, beide zusammen ermögliche dann eine solche Aufnahme. Das Motiv hat eine Größe von ca. 3x4cm und ist Teil einer Bronze-Plastik.
double image stabilizer - taken freehand with the LEICA DG Vario-ELMAR 100-400 and 2x optical zoom of the Lumix G9 at 1/25 sec and 3200 ISO - this corresponds to a focal length of 1600mm in 35mm. To achieve blur-free shots with this, you would have to expose for about 1/1600sec without image stabilizer. Camera and lens have their own image stabilizer, both together make such a shot possible. The subject has a size of about 3x4cm.
