I've taken many photos of these irises over the years. They're descendants of flowers I've kept for about 35 years. I took this photo over the weekend, using a Bronica SQ-B with a closeup filter (I think 4x).

 

Developed using the FPP Unicolor C-41 kit. Post-pocessing in Affinity Photo.

Feliz aniversário, meu caro irmão! :-)

Somewhere along the way

I got caught up in the race

I kept spinning and turning

Lost myself my hope my faith

 

We're always wanting more than what we have

And what I've learned is all I really need are...

 

The simple things

That come without a price

The simple things

Like happiness joy and love in my life

I've seen it all from so many sides

And I hope you would agree

The best things in life

Are the simple things

 

Hey everybody don't get me wrong you got to understand ambition and knowledge

Are the seeds of every woman and man

 

It's good to work... work hard and prosper

As long as you take time to find...

 

The simple things

That come without a price

The simple things

Like happiness joy and love in my life

I've seen it all from so many sides

And I hope you would agree

That the best things in life

Are the simple things

 

Solo

 

This world moves so fast

Sometimes you got to slow down, down, down

To find out what its all about

 

We're always wanting more than what we have

What I've learned, is what I really need are

 

The simple things

That come without a price

The simple things

Like happiness joy and love in my life

I've seen it all from so many sides

And I hope you would agree

The best things in life

Are the simple things

Just a few of my glass props.

I have never watched any of the movies in the "Alien" franchise (kindly restrain your incredulity, outrage, pity or cheers!), but I was inspired by a comment on a similar photo taken at this pond to make the most of these strange shapes in the ice, originating here on earth. Enjoy your visit with Dr. Rorschach, if I haven't already ruined it! And Happy Sliders Sunday!

Cassia bark and chillies.

A generous dose of Cassia adds great flavour to a curry made with these lovely chillies - yum!

 

Weekly Theme Challenge - Something from the Kitchen

A CSX business train tippy-toes across the former Wabash at Ashburn.

 

The train was running on Canadian National's Elsdon Subdivision on an inspection trip from Indianapolis via the Monon and the CN's Grand Trunk to the Belt's Clearing Yard and then to Danville via Dolton and the C&EI.

In tallgrass still, the boat now lies,

Its bow turned up to watch the skies.

Once it danced through storms and spray,

Carried hope across the bay.

 

It bore new life and saved the lost,

Fought against the flood and frost.

Now faded paint and aching wood

Mark where something brave once stood.

 

The boy says, “Let me haul it free

It’s just old junk to you and me.”

She only smiles, her hand held flat,

“This boat remembers more than that.”

 

“They say some nights when fog drifts near,

You’ll see it on the water, clear.

No hands to row, no soul to steer,

Just something finding who needs here.”

 

So still it rests by weed and tree,

Not gone, not lost, just simply meant to be.

Day 334: The Little Things

Several conversations this week have got me thinking about how this past year, in narrowing our options and cancelling our lifelong busy-ness, has taught us all to notice and take pleasure in the little things. Things like the sound of Gershwin from a distant window, like children giggling in the street, like the perfect caper lemon sauce, like raindrops on a leaf. May we keep this quiet sense of wonder whenever it is we get to where we’re going next.

On the quiet shores of Orion Beach, Jervis Bay before dawn in the midst of a clouded future - Jupiter, Saturn and Mars shine through, delivering hope for the days ahead.

When I made the town calendar for its 200th anniversary in 2019, the idea was to juxtapose an old photo of a scene with a modern one.

 

I created the photo that you see in the comment section.

 

I liked and like it fine, but someone just had another idea -- that of fading one to the other in the same frame. So, I took the same two photos as did what you see here.

 

Those were photos that I had on hand, but this may become a project as the year unfolds, but it will need more careful matching of photos. One would have to take the actual old photo out onto the field and try to line up the new one. I had to do a lot of manipulation to get these two photos to fit together.

 

Not now though, for today begins a Stay at Home that will last for a month and maybe longer. We need to do this because the world is full of irresponsible nitwits.

 

Speaking of nitwits, I now see that I hadn't made the previous photo public until now although I uploaded it 2 years ago.

Here is an idea that I've had in my brain for quite a while. There is a story that goes with it. I forewarn you...it's a lot of reading, but it you want to know where the idea came from, or just what the MOC as a whole means, head here: www.mocpages.com/moc.php/407756

We had our first big snow of the season and it blanketed the landscape with a foot of beautiful snow!

 

I hope that all is well, I have been extremely busy and an preparing to go to Washington DC this weekend to see my image being used by the US Navy Band during their Holiday Concert at DAR Constitution Hall! I am super excited and of course will be bringing my camera!

 

I will be catching up with everyone before Christmas, in the meantime sending holiday blessings to each of you!
