Surrender yourself. Let go of control, and allow the Universe to take the natural course. Open a new world of possibilities...
By the tranquil river's edge,
where soft winds blow,
A whispered tale of peace begins to weave.
The sun sets low,
casting a golden glow,
As nature bids the weary soul to leave.
In the meadow lush with flowers bright,
A gentle breeze caresses each bloom.
The sky in hues of pink and purple light,
Nature's lullaby dispels all gloom.
Beneath the ancient oak,
shadows play,
Leaves rustle secrets to the evening air.
Silent surrender marks the end of day,
A promise kept when life is laid bare.
Stars emerge as night takes her reign,
Guiding souls to rest in calm embrace.
In dreams they find no sorrow or pain,
Peaceful surrender in night's quiet place.
There are times in life when you feel like surrendering to the juggernaut that you feel is descending on you ....

This was actually quite an impromptu shot to take. I had just finished taking some light-trail photographs on a country road near Loch Tarsan and had headed to Jubilee Point on Loch Eck to see if it was suitable for another photoshoot I planned to take later that weekend ("Death Of Childhood Dreams"). It was ... but before heading home the idea for this shot popped into my head :)

The "Unconditional Surrender" statue of a sailor and nurse kissing will be moved from San Diego to New Jersey after Memorial Day, loaned to San Diego in 2007 by the Sculpture Foundation, where it will undergo maintenance before the roughly 6,000-pound sculpture and its 24,000-pound base will be shipped to New Jersey according to the Port of San Diego.

After a busy week and week end, an opportunity came up to head out and explore after some bad weather started to clear. It great finding old ruins.
Seaside Serendipity: Seeing Solo Swan, Sidling Steamy Showers, Sultry Serenity Silently Sweetly Surrendering - IMRAN™
What a blessing to look out the windows of my blessed home to witness this. Even an imperfect weather moment like this is magic. Come see the sensuality of nature, as the sultry serenity of Tampa Bay waters surrender silently and sweetly to the steamy showers sidling by. Can you see the solo swan slide by? Serendipity.

I originally shot this for a book cover but the publishers ended up going a slightly different direction. I loved it though, and couldn't help myself with Halloween so near! I love Halloween but I'm terrified of all things scary, so in reality we shouldn't mix. The most I can do is watch Hocus Pocus, carve pumpkins, and bake apple crisp. All of which I am doing several times over.
I feel a sense of joy and lightness with the end of October nearing. It marks the end of a lot of travel, and there is nothing I value more than being home. To me, home is where I can settle into myself. I'm spending the next two months re-writing my novel, printing the new series I've been working on all year, and creating new works by myself and for myself. Home is an amazing place if you cultivate it as such.

Bandera negra estelada dalt el Cargol, a L'Escala. Amb Empuries i el Canigó al darrera. No ens rendim, seguim aquí. Compte! Independencia i Visca la Terra.
=====================
The black flag means no surrender. This is OUR black flag, blending the estelada of the independence of Catalonia with the cross of Saint Eulalia, the banner of the Coronela, the 1714 milita of Barcelona. We still stand here, no surrender. Freedom for Catalonia.

Standing right by the Midway Aircraft Carrier is this 25 ft. statue of the iconic photo taken Aug. 14, 1945, in Times Square New York City the day World War II ended. A sailor stopped a nurse, gave her a big kiss which was captured by a random photographer.
It become the symbol of the joy felt when the war was finally over. Called, "The Kiss" or "Unconditional Surrender" it's replicated here in bronze, overlaid with painted aluminum.
I had to post a collage because there were no people to show scale when we first got there in the morning.
Chalkhill Blue "surrendering" to my macro lens...Lol..!!!!

Surrender, a word that we don't understand
How are we to get ahead when we have empty hands?
We fight for what will fade
We cling to that from which we're saved
And soon we'll wake to find
We've naught but fists of sand
What good is the whole world
If you've no soul?

I just adore their lyrics. Oh how they make me think!
On another note - yeah....winter sucks. Maybe it's still fall where you are....not here.
