...and with that I realised there wasn't anything I could do.
It was an odd feeling, a little too much like relief if you ask me, but that was how I felt, and this was the way it was. I asked my Dad for a moment alone, said my goodbye's to my Uncle and then walked quickly away.
I've never been fond of saying goodbye. That awareness of time, emotion and all that you didn't quite appreciate while you had it always hits me far too hard.
Not this time though, this time I was neither in the past or the present and I'll be damned if I could even think of a future. This was now and I was lost in it, I felt gone, wasted as if my life had just slipped out of focus.
This really reminded me of the giant clock that one can see in the cafe at the Musee D'orsay, Paris But is an iconic image regarding the Time Exhibition by Rone. Industrialisation brought different ideas of time, time keeping and the "protestant" work ethic. rone.art/
Chinese New Year! In my photographs so far there hasn't been much of an indication of the time of year. Down at the waterfront you couldn't miss it.
Unfortunately, it being the New Year meant that things were shut or otherwise different from normal. Typically the famous Clock Tower at the Kowloon waterfront is lit at night. Not this time...
Another thing you're missing: Right behind us was a small crowd watching the rehearsals for the New Year Parade. I imagine it looked a bit weird; one tourist looking the opposite way entirely.

Hong Kong! Again! After the first time not working out so well (mostly due to my condition) me and my best friend Michael returned to do the bits we missed out on and generally have a few different experiences than before.

[17:36] Taladis Tower wrinkled his nose as he came down from the small ramp. Reaching up the dark cat pulled the cigar from his mouth - tossed it to the floor and proceeded to step on it. He walked forward and leaned on the railing that led to the beach, looking over at the Cyborg Zero.
[17:39] Damienn Kiranov is blatantly amused when he sees the black cat walk up to the railing. He takes a drink from his flask, then puts it back in his pocket. A wry smirk crosses his lips as he speaks. "Well well well. Look what we have here. Sure as hell took you long enough. Surprised?"
[17:41] Taladis Tower grumbled in response to the man's comment. Instead, he moved down the sidewalk - as he walked he was unwrapping the gauntlets around his wrists. He tossed them on the ground as he continued to walk, only leaving the wrappings on his hands. Closing his fists, he just looked at Kiranov with that cold expression.
[17:43] Damienn Kiranov yawns. "Oh God. Now we go to this again... What are you gonna do now? Hmm? Seems kinda pointless to start a brawl when we don't have an audience."
[17:44] Taladis Tower wrinkled his nose at Kiranov's comment before practically growling out, "This isn't about people watching." His ears falling against his head, "You were supposed to be dead."
[17:45] Damienn Kiranov laughs and shakes his head. "You've got to be kidding me... Do you really think they would've left out any explosives training when I worked as an operator?"
[17:47] Taladis Tower grumbled lowly, "I don't care. I walked away because I expected you to be dead. You shot me, you left me for dead. I left /you/ for dead, you were just supposed to die. Now - we're somewhat at a crossroads, aren't we?"
[17:49] Damienn Kiranov pops his knuckles and takes his flask out of his pocket. "I guess we would be. So, what's your choice? I could care less about continuing this boring rivalry, since you're not the one I was looking for." He takes a drink from his flask, then pockets it.
[17:50] Taladis Tower watches Kiranov's movements carefully. Tal's cold gaze soon locking on the man's face once more. He wrinkled his nose, a grumble escaping his lips, "Next time that I see you? This won't be 'boring.'" Tal growled as he turned away, then knelt over to pick up his gauntlets before wandering off.

Obviously from a previous summer.
Prospects for macro work THIS summer are greatly diminished I fear. The two gardens where I do most of my insect / flower photography are both out of commission; thank you covid. The historic mansion grounds, originally set to re-open June 1, remain closed and padlocked, with the resurgence of the little virii. Future uncertain.
The city gardens...not fenced or gated, just stand untended. Untilled plots, browning dead weeds...sad. And the word I was given was that no summer workers are going to be hired this year AND volunteers wouldn't be used either. That left a three person crew...and that crew is just too small for this large area.
All of this is subject to change at some point, but for now, my go to macro sites are DON'T GO TO.
Time to Reflect by Simon Gudgeon at Sculpture by the Lakes.
Sculpture by the Lakes is set in 26 acres of beautiful Dorset countryside and showcases around 40 of Simon's sculptures. The gardens are designed by his wife, Monique.

It's a time for everything
When you know you have to wait, well then you wait
All the feelings you have managed to put a lid on are being felt in your stomach as the time is soon to come to an end and a new beginning
The good feelings
The joy
The craving you can feel so deep in your body
The longing for oneness
Closeness
Togetherness
My ultimate best friend is coming
My partner in crime is on his way
My lover
My soulmate
Off his ship today
It will still take some days until he can wrap his arms around me
But
It's time again
We made it this time too
Nothing is taken for granted
Every moment is cherished
I'm the luckiest girl in this Universe

Macro Mondays: time...has stopped for all the old watches I keep in my watch graveyard...Not sure why I keep them - a bit of nostalgia, maybe?
"7 Days of Shooting" "Week #48" "Nostalgia" "Macro Monday"
Taken whilst taking images for Macro Monday group... I particularly like the way the off-light illuminates the watch face and really makes it stand out from the low-key setting.
To my yard, that is. These rose-breasted grosbeaks were especially welcome since I've had no time to walk around and look for migrants this fall. They stopped to eat berries, along with a resident northern cardinal, in the dogwood tree in my front yard before moving on.
Persistence of Time
For a few people time never flies. It never changes. Case in point is this brick factory worker.
She stands motionless, as the Salvador Dali painted stack of clouds whisk by her in a hurry, leaving her state unchanged. She has been destined to be a brick worker for her entire lifetime.
Persistence of Time indeed.
It has been awhile since I have posted to Photochallenge and I must say that my photography has suffered as a result. My intention is to be more active with the group this year! My very first photograph I posted to photochallenge 4 years ago was for a Macro challenge in which I photographed these very same watch gears. Since I was new to this type of photography and did not have a proper Macro lens I took the shot using the "poor mans macro" technique (my first time trying the technique). For me, photochallenge was not solely about the photograph, it was about the research and the information I learned as a result of the challenge. So for my comeback photo I thought it would be significant to "redo" that first photo with all the knowledge and experience I gained since first joining photochallenge and being able to now use a proper Macro lens, since it was the weekly challenges of this group that helped me identify my photographic style and also influence the type of gear I have invested in over the years. I would like to thank Jeanie and Eric for continuing the challenges and everyone else who is kind enough to donate their time to the group! (If interested in viewing the "original" photo, it can be found at the bottom of my feed).
