Have you ever looked in my eyes?
I guess you didn't.
Because all the stories are inside my eyes.
A thousand words can't be tell, even with myself.
The Thousand Islands constitute a North American archipelago of 1,864 islands that straddles the Canada–US border in the Saint Lawrence River as it emerges from the northeast corner of Lake Ontario. They stretch for about 80 km downstream from Kingston, Ontario. The Canadian islands are in the province of Ontario and the U.S. islands in the state of New York.
The islands range in size from over 100 km2 to smaller islands occupied by a single residence, or uninhabited outcroppings of rocks. To count as one of the Thousand Islands, emergent land within the river channel must have at least one square foot (0.093 m2) of land above water level year-round, and support at least two living trees.
Las Mil Islas constituyen un archipiélago norteamericano de 1.864 islas que se extienden a ambos lados de la frontera entre Canadá y Estados Unidos en el río San Lorenzo, cuando emerge del extremo noreste del lago Ontario. Se extienden unos 80 km río abajo desde Kingston, Ontario. Las islas canadienses están en la provincia de Ontario y las islas estadounidenses en el estado de Nueva York.
El tamaño de las islas varía desde más de 100 km2 hasta islas más pequeñas ocupadas por una sola residencia o afloramientos de rocas deshabitados. Para ser consideradas como una de las Mil Islas, el terreno emergente dentro del canal del río debe tener al menos un pie cuadrado (0,093 m2) de tierra por encima del nivel del agua durante todo el año y sustentar al menos dos árboles vivos.
All night my heart makes its way
however it can over the rough ground
of uncertainties, but only until night
meets and then is overwhelmed by
morning, the light deepening, the
wind easing and just waiting, as I
too wait ( and when have I ever been
disappointed?) for redbird to sing.

Thousands of people poured into Manchester City Centre on 24th August 2024 for the annual Pride celebrations.
The streets were filled full of colour as the Manchester Pride parade set off from Deansgate. Taking on a 'Buzzin to be Queer Theme' inspired by the hardworking Manchester bee, 17,000 took part in the parade - the biggest ever number of participants according to Pride bosses.
Held each year, the parade takes place from Deansgate towards the Gay Village and sees thousands of people line the streets to take in the positive vibes of the event and to show unity with the LGBTQ+ community.
As usual, this year’s parade saw drag artists, community groups and allies take part, with the likes of Danny Beard, Tia Kofi, Su Pollard, DJ Paulette, Russell T Davies and Charity Shop Sue amongst some of the famous faces taking part.
Amongst the corporations, community groups and clubs taking part in this year’s parade were the Manchester Runners, George House Trust, Aer Lingus, Moxy Manchester, African Rainbow Family, The Proud Trust, Village Manchester Football Club and Heart radio station.
Speaking about the parade, Mark Fletcher, CEO of Manchester Pride, told the Manchester Evening News: “I am overwhelmed by the turnout of the Parade this year - it is the longest parade we have ever had, and that’s an achievement considering what we’ve had in the past. It’s free for all the community groups and LGBTQ+ organisations to take part, and we always encourage them to take part as much as possible. One of the things I always say is how proud I am of our allies who take part in the parade too.”
Adding about the theme to this year’s parade, Mark said: “We wanted to take the worker bee, which represents Manchester, and adopt that almost in a way that charts the progress of how far we’ve come in terms of LGBTQ+ equality as well as the need to ‘buzz’ the progress on a little bit too. That’s why we created the Progress Bee - we’ve used that symbol as a degree of ownership and identity. It’s part of the fabric of what Manchester stands for, and the support that we’ve had and that so many pioneers have stepped out and pushed the movement forward.
“We wanted to chart it as a hive of progress recognising all of those that have gone before us and those who take the bee on today and march for continued progress.”
One thousand people are estimated to have died in the Mediterranean Sea during the days of Hurricane Harry. They were desperate, people searching for hope. Their deaths have passed almost unnoticed by the media. We have grown so accustomed to this tragedy that we barely pause to acknowledge it. One thousand lives vanished into the silence of our society.
Si stima che mille persone siano morte nel Mar Mediterraneo durante i giorni dell’uragano Harry. Erano persone disperate, in cerca di speranza. Le loro morti sono passate quasi inosservate dai media. Ci siamo talmente abituati a questa tragedia che ormai non ci fermiamo più a riflettere. Mille vite sono svanite nel silenzio della nostra società.

"For thousands of years one of Iceland’s largest rivers, Jokulsa a Fjollum, (The Glacier River from the Mountains) has continued to flow from under the Vatnajokull glacier ice cap. It winds its way through a landscape of diverse aspects for a distance of 206 km, runs north to the sea and empties at Oxarfjordur bay. Besides being the country’s second longest river, its catchment area is the largest of all. North of Vatnajokull, the river crosses a barren, gently sloping plateau, but the current gains speed towards the edge of the highlands, where powerful waterfalls drop into the canyon. On its long journey, the river has carved numerous channels into the highland bedrock and to the west of Holsfjoll it cascades from a tall rocky ledge, forming the huge waterfall Dettifoss, plunging into magnificent canyons which extend all the way down to the bridge over the river on highway 85" (from Extreme Iceland)

There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of abandoned homes strewn throughout the countryside in Alberta. They did not fall out of the sky, but rather, were thoughtfully placed with the intentions of building a life within the four walls and a roof - a very long time ago.
When I come across these homesteads, I just have to stop. I don’t know why I am drawn to these old relics. Fossils of the past. It is as if can hear their heart beat in the solitude of the countryside.
Who lived here? What kind of life did they have? Did they conquer their hardships or challenges? It is without a doubt that the occupants encountered insurmountable struggles.
I try to imagine the essence of the house. Were there moments of joy and contentment despite the harshness and difficulties of the environment? I find it incredulous that it still stands even though it has been ravaged by time.
My imagination begins to percolate.
I want to hear the happy, contagious squeals of children giggling as they raced to the warmth of their beds at night; the sound of Mother humming as she lovingly brushed her daughter’s hair by the fire, or Father whistling with an air of fulfillment at a satisfying day of work that had been done and in anticipation of the hot meal waiting for him as he walked in, through the door. Goals, dreams and aspirations were quietly shared in the secrecy of night. Stolen kisses and affirmations of love and commitment were whispered as the children slept.
I wonder if this house had been enough for them? Why did they leave? What were their parting thoughts as they turned the key for that one last time? So many questions. No answers…
I snap a photo of the old gal.
I start driving down the lonely road but take one last look in my rearview mirror. I see a house surrounded by mass plantings of flowers, a thriving garden, chickens milling about and a clothesline that has a congregation of well worn clothes that are being gently seduced by an unusually warm summer breeze. The children are playing Kick-the-can out in the fields.
The joy of their laughter is a welcome sound to their Mother and Father who are sitting together on the porch sipping lemonade and enjoying a respite from the monotony of chores. No words pass between them. They bask in the silence of their mutual contentment.
I see a house that was once brimming with life and love. It stands proud and tenacious as a testament to those who happen to pass by on this lonely country road and those who have the ears to hear the echoes of laughter wafting in the wind, proclaiming that this house was more than four walls and a roof - it was a home…
Thousands of visitors have gridlocked a small village in Gloucestershire as they head to see sculptures of soldiers made from chicken wire. The ghost-like figures, created by sculptor Jackie Lantelli, guard the graves of 11 fallen soldiers from the village of Slimbridge. The ‘ghost’ soldiers, and a well-researched exhibition on the effects of war on the parish, mark 100 years since the end of World War One.

I'm not sure how many of you know of Clyde Butcher. Clyde is a photographer I have followed for a number of years. I had a chance to meet Clyde and hear him speak a couple years ago. Clyde has a large collection of photographs of Florida among many other locations around the U.S. I'm a fan of his work. Clyde suffered a stroke a few weeks ago. He is recovering and hopefully he will be clicking the shutter again soon.
This shot is taken not far from his gallery in the Everglades of Florida.
If you are not familiar with Clyde's work please google him and spend a few moments with his images. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
Today has been one of those days where I just felt like getting in my car and driving to someplace far away that I've never visited before.
It took me a while to figure out how to edit the birds in.. I'm actually pretty proud of this :)

From Wikipedia:
Designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, One Thousand Museum was Zaha Hadid's first residential tower in the Western Hemisphere, and one of the final projects designed by Hadid in her lifetime. It was designed in association with O’Donnell Dannwolf Partners Architects, a local architecture firm.
A notable feature of the building is the curving exoskeleton, allowing the interior space to have fewer columns. The exoskeleton is composed of 5,000 pieces of glass fiber reinforced concrete. These pieces were shipped from Dubai early in the construction process. The exoskeleton is located in front of a glass facade.
