Some randomness today...a bumblebee on the window. I rescued it and took it outside after this. It's sad to hear that even bumblebees are facing extinction in some parts of the world:-(

I have had this image for ages on my hard drive. This is a bunch of traps I had in my previous neighbourhood. The disorder and colours attracted me and I shot many shots of this, never quite happy with the result.
This is as close to what I wanted to end up with....

All I See is You
I want to be your fragrant musk,
I want to be that soft breeze that gently touches your soul,
I want to be that fire, which enflames your heart,
I want to bathe in the ocean of your passions,
And feel the caresses of the waves of your love,
I eat, I drink, I sleep you,
These words resonate in me,
“Blessed be thou forever”,
God above- only knows what I desire,
I am sinking -yes I am sinking
Into that labyrinth of love.
I am now a captive of your spell,
My reasoning is blocked,
My sanity stolen,
My normal life seems so out of reach,
You surround me by your powerful aroma of musk,
You so far away across the ocean,
Yet that asian perfume so powerful,
Draws me to you,
My heart is trapped by your love,
And when the shades of twilight close the day,
All I see is you! ! ! -you! ! ! -you! ! ! .

I love Sydney, but there's a definite similarity to living and working in a big city and being a bird in a cage.

This poor mozzie did not want its photo taken.
No matter how much it wriggled, it could not get free.
“Some of my old memories feel trapped in amber in my brain, lucid and burning, while others are like the wing beat of a hummingbird, an intangible, ephemeral blur.”

Hops are the flowers (also called seed cones or strobiles) of the hop plant Humulus lupulus. They are used primarily as a flavoring and stability agent in beer, to which they impart a bitter, tangy flavor, though they are also used for various purposes in other beverages and herbal medicine.

A few weeks ago I had a portfolio review with a Swedish photographer and gallery owner. He discovered that a common theme in many of my photos was captivity versus freedom. Not until he said it, I realized that he was right. I keep coming back to it. Here's another "captivity versus freedom" photo that I photographed at a nature reserve at sunrise.

A small Venus fly trap.. I focus stacked quite a few shots of these but I could not seem to get a real super sharp result.. The plants trigger hairs, or the lobes seemed to be very slowly opening and closing. maybe the plants reacted to the two small lights that I placed either side.
A young fisherman goes about the usual preparation of his shellfish traps before taking yet another nighttime boat trip to a certain deep area in Subic Bay where he will submerge the said traps to catch blue crab.

Creativity has to be a practice. If you wait for divine inspiration, it may never come. This week proved that. I unexpectedly have a foster baby 🐣 with me and came down with the nastiest stomach virus I've ever had, all in tandem with attempting to launch a new creative challenge. Any one of those things is anxiety-inducing for me. Life is unpredictable. I quite literally don't know when I'm going to be a mother and when motherhood will be suddenly taken away. I don't know what my health will do. None of us get guarantees.
And that is why creativity needs to be a practice, because when we cultivate a deep understanding of where our creativity comes from, how to access it, and how to act on it, we more successfully achieve ☑️ flow state ☑️ optimum productivity ☑️ deepest creativity.
And when we fail to cultivate that deep understanding of our creativity, we find ourselves waiting for it, and upset when it doesn't come. We use terms like "writer's block" and "dry spell", when most of the time what we suffer from is a lack of underlying connection to what makes us creative.
There's one more day to sign up for the creativity challenge. It's free: brookeshaden.com/events/impact.php
And I've thrown in an editing tutorial and chance for a Sony camera giveaway for anyone who registers. There are 2,000 of us taking the challenge. It's a gentle guide deeper into our creativity for a more sustainable practice. Because while life sometimes throws us curve balls, we can still cultivate a sense of creative security within.
