My oldest possession, not sure of exact age although there is a printed date of 1798. A gift to my great, great grandfather in 1846, sadly both covers have become detached. See my first comment below for the records written inside.

John Lennon wrote this beautiful song in 1971, more than 40 years ago ... it seems that some things never change:

..And so this is Christmas

For weak and for strong

For rich and the poor ones

The world is so wrong

And so happy Christmas

For black and for white

For yellow and red ones

Let's stop all the fight

A very merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear...

John Lennon

Taking care of everyone like they were on a piece of land?

Most of you already know, that I like macro a lot and most of the time I want to push the limits to get as close as possible with my camera. So I did with the frozen puddle of water and this is the result. I see al kind of faces, you too?

Just a SOOC, no processing whatever.

A remake of an earlier photo for macro monday :-))

It has always amazed me to see hummingbirds close-up and in person. This was shot at Huntington Beach Central Park, and then I added a couple of layers of my own texture.

Y allí estaba esta cerradura, casi invitándome a echar una miradita a traves de ella para poder ver lo que había al otro lado.

Y así lo hice.

Longing is like the Seed

That wrestles in the Ground,

Believing if it intercede

It shall at length be found.

The Hour, and the Clime -

Each Circumstance unknown,

What Constancy must be achieved

Before it see the Sun!
