Paying Rent 🌹
I Own Nothing
I Rent A Space In Time
This Is A place I Occupy
But I Can't Say It's Mine
For A Few Short moments Only
The Blink Of A Tearful Eye
That's How Long I'll Be Here
In This Space That I occupy
I Bring No goods, No Land, No Wealth As I Am Born Into This Place
Luckily For Me though
I Can Rent This Little Space.

When a neighbor decided to reconfigure the flowers planted in her raised flowerbed, she was going to toss the green bits away.
Fortunately I love gardening surprises...so I quickly planted them in a shady spot. This was the wonderful result of my adoption.
Wikipedia states..."Chives, (scientific name...Schoenoprasum), is an edible species of the genus Allium. Its close relatives include the garlic, shallot, leek, scallion, and Chinese onion."
What I know about this beautiful plant is that the bees love to traverse the hills and valleys of this flower. Once the bloom has faded, you'll find tiny black seeds inside the folds of each blossom. What a great way to spread the wealth. Life is wonderful that way!
Stay close. Wait for the trickle-down effect. You know that there is a very good reason, they say, that governments should help the rich to get richer even easier and much faster. Yes, it is the trickle-down effect. One day, eventually that is, some of the new wealth will trickle down into my watering can and make me rich too. I live in hope. And I am staying ever so close to my watering can. Helios 44M-7 manual lens at F2, one LED lamp.

J’inaugure mon nouvel appareil photo (panasonic lumix fz150) par cette image qui vous donne au premier abord une idée sur le temps qu'il fait chez nous, mais qui représente pour moi la richesse en amitié quand je pense à vous tous.
I inaugurate my new camera (panasonic lumix fz150) by this picture that gives you initially an idea on the time that it does at our place, but that represents for me the wealth in friendship when I think about you all.
The Second George Room
Burghley House is a grand 16th-century English country house near Stamford on the Cambrigeshire/Lincolnshire border, built by William Cecil. The estate features magnificent State Rooms, art collections and grounds designed by Capability Brown.
William Cecil (later the 1st Baron Burghley) began building the house as a demonstration of his wealth and power and to establish a dynastic family seat, contruction began in 1555 and the house mostly comple by 1587. He was heavily involved in its design, which was intended to impress the Queen (Elizabeth I) and her court.
While the exterior largely retains its original Elizabethan look, the interiors were extensively remodeled in the Baroque style by the 5th Earl of Exeter in the late 17th century. This included commissioning the famous "Heaven Room" and "Hell Staircase" ceiling paintings by the Italian artist Antonio Verrio.
In the 18th century, the renowned landscape architect Lancelot 'Capability' Brown was employed by the 9th Earl to redesign the gardens and parkland. Brown created the sweeping vistas, the lake, and the Lion Bridge, even altering the house's structure to enhance the views.
The 6th Marquess of Exeter, a gold-medal-winning Olympic athlete immortalized in the film Chariots of Fire, oversaw significant modernization of the house, including the introduction of electricity. In 1961, he established the Burghley House Preservation Trust, a charitable trust that now owns and maintains the house, its contents, and the surrounding estate for the public's enjoyment.

Can you believe they want to raise our taxes?
Unreal. It's total class warfare, is what it is.
This commie wealth redistribution has to stop. I mean, I may have to sell one of my airplanes.
Too outrageous to even consider.
Say, I don't believe we've been introduced.
Oh, I just saw this fancy party, and wandered in.
You weren't actually invited? How interesting.
Yes, and it will be more interesting once you give me your wallet.
My. . . what did you say?
I'm taking the wealth redistribution thing personally.
So it appears.

Wealth is power. With wealth many things are possible.
George Clason
Power is not all bad, if wielded properly, you can change the world for the better. It gets a bad name from those who abuse it.
For those who may think power is bad, remember the power of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Princess Diana, and others who sought to bring positive changes to the world.
So here we are at Brockhampton Manor House in Herefordshire – a fine 14th-century timber-framed house surrounded by a wide moat (foreground) and ‘guarded’ by a gate house on the left. It was built by the Brockhampton family, who had lived here since at least the 12th century. The name comes from a combination of words meaning 'brook settlement', and was first recorded as Brochantone in 1166.
The now charmingly lopsided gatehouse was never intended to guard the house; instead, it was an ostentatious symbol of wealth, informing people that they were visiting a very important family.
When the Brockhampton family line died out in 1948 the house, together with a substantial estate of buildings and land, was given to the National Trust, which continues to care for and administer the place today.

- According to an old German legend, if you find a bird nest in your Christmas tree, you will have an entire year of health, wealth and happiness !
And lucky me..., I did find this bird nest in my Christmas tree (of course I added the baubles and the bird).
I wish you all a very lucky new year too !
- Volgens een oude Duitse legende voorspelt het vinden van een vogelnest in de kerstboom dat je een heel jaar van gezondheid, rijkdom en geluk te wachten staat !
En...., bij het optuigen vond deze geluksvogel een vogelnest in de kerstboom (natuurlijk heb ik de kerstballen en de vogel toegevoegd).
Ik wens jullie allen ook een zeer gelukkig nieuw jaar !

Still need to fix the haloing around the House.
The phrase "as happy as Larry" is a common expression in British, Australian, and New Zealand English, meaning extremely happy or very content.
Its origin isn't definitively known, but a widely discussed theories:
Larry Foley – the Australian boxer
Who: Larry Foley (1847–1917), a famous Australian bare-knuckle boxer.
He reportedly retired undefeated and won a large sum of money (about £1,000—a fortune at the time).
His success and wealth made him famously “happy,” and the phrase may have been coined in reference to him.
Evidence: The phrase began appearing in Australian newspapers around the early 20th century, close to the time of Foley’s fame.

Fountain Of Wealth
Supported by four 13.8 metres high bronze legs and spreading over an area of 1683.07 metres, the Fountain of Wealth has been accorded the status of "World's Largest Fountain" in the 1998 edition of the Guinness Book of Records. It is symbolically the ring in the palm of the hand, guaranteeing the retention of wealth. It is destined to be Singapore's most visited tourist destination.
The plaza would provide a large outdoor space for people to gather. But on its own, it would not achieve sufficient visual impact. A dramatic fountain was proposed as a visual focus. The Fountain Plaza, now the focal point of Suntec City, is also at the heart of the Marina Centre area. Not only is it the hub of circulation within the development, it also draws life from the surrounding buildings. This is why it sits off centre within Suntec City -so that it can be directly connected to its neighbours.
The flowing water from the Fountain is also a potent symbol as water is the essence of life in almost every culture. Located round this symbolic centre of life are the buildings which make up Suntec City. These buildings attract human activity - life - to the area. At ground level, vehicles flow around the fountain plaza while pedestrians flow into the buildings around it. Below ground, at the Fountain Terrace, all the buildings are interconnected by shops and restaurants. The complex is also connected to its neighbours by both underground and street-level pedestrian linkways.
Petra (Arabic: البتراء, Al-Batrāʾ; Ancient Greek: Πέτρα), originally known as Raqmu (Nabataean Arabic: الرقيم), is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan. Petra lies on the slope of Jabal Al-Madbah in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah valley that run from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. Established possibly as early as the 4th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataean Kingdom. The Nabataeans were nomadic Arabs who invested in Petra's proximity to the trade routes by establishing it as a major regional trading hub.
The trading business gained the Nabataeans considerable revenue, and Petra became the focus of their wealth. The earliest recorded historical reference to the city was when an envious Greek dynasty attempted to ransack the city in 312 BC. The Nabataeans were, unlike their enemies, accustomed to living in the barren deserts, and were able to repel attacks by utilizing the area's mountainous terrain. They were particularly skillful in harvesting rainwater, agriculture and stone carving. The Kingdom's capital continued to flourish until the 1st century AD when its famous Al-Khazneh facade was constructed, and its population peaked at an estimated 20,000 inhabitants.
Encroaching troops of the Roman Empire in 106 AD forced the Nabataeans to surrender. The Romans annexed and renamed the Kingdom to Arabia Petraea. Petra's importance declined as sea trade routes emerged, and after a 363 earthquake destroyed many structures. The Byzantine Era witnessed the construction of several Christian churches. By 700, the city became an abandoned place where only a handful of nomads grazed goats. It remained an unknown place until it was rediscovered by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812, sparking renewed interest in the city.
The city is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system. Another name for Petra is the Rose City due to the color of the stone out of which it is carved. It is a symbol of Jordan, as well as Jordan's most-visited tourist attraction. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage
I created this mandala for spiritual and material wealth and abundance and it is dedicated to the beautiful Goddess Lakshmi. I created it out of different textures and images and put them together like a collage in Photoshop.

It's been almost a year since I took this photograph, one of my favorites from my portfolio of Ireland, an image that acquires even more value for me in these uncertain days. After more than two months without being able to breathe properly due to my pollen allergy, accentuated by the high levels of pollution in Dublin in spring, we decided to escape for two days to the small town of Kinvara, in the west of Ireland. Upon arrival, I only needed to feel the clean sea breeze for 5 minutes so that my nostrils got released and I could breathe fresh air again. Throughout the day we walked around the bay and then through fields full of flowers that did not provoke me allergy at all.
At dusk, I took the photograph "Poets Refuge" that I published when I returned from the trip. And the next morning I woke up to photograph one of the most incredible sunrises I have ever seen. The sky burned in warm colors before the sun rose, but the tide was so low that the compositions I got did not satisfy me. Even so, I took advantage of the situation to reach an islet that is usually isolated with the water of the sea. My instinct pushed me to walk on the algae-filled rocks and explore that unknown area, I knew that a special photograph was waiting for me. It was then that I found a tree whose branches almost touched the ground, in front of which the sky and part of the castle reflected in the water, while the sun filtered its golden light through its branches. Pure gold for my mental and physical health I found, there will never be greater wealth.

Hace ya casi un año que realicé esta fotografía, una de mis favoritas de mi portafolio de Irlanda, una imagen que adquiere para mí aún más valor en estos días de incertidumbre. Después de más de dos meses sin poder respirar de forma adecuada debido a mi alergia al polen, acentuada por los altos niveles de contaminación en Dublín en primavera, decidimos escaparnos durante dos días al pequeño pueblo de Kinvara, al oeste de Irlanda. Al llegar, solo necesité sentir la brisa limpia del mar durante 5 minutos para que se liberaran mis fosas nasales y poder respirar aire puro de nuevo. Durante todo el día caminamos por la bahía y luego por campos llenos de flores que no me provocaron alergia en absoluto.
Al atardecer, realicé la fotografía "Refugio de Poetas" que publiqué al volver del viaje. Y a la mañana siguiente me desperté para fotografiar uno de los amaneceres más increíbles que he visto nunca. El cielo ardió en colores cálidos antes de salir el sol, pero la marea estaba tan baja que las composiciones que conseguí no me satisficieron. Aún así aproveché la situación para alcanzar un islote que normalmente se aísla con el agua del mar. Mi instinto me empujó a caminar por las rocas llenas de algas y explorar aquella zona desconocida, sabía que una fotografía especial me estaba esperando. Fue entonces cuando encontré un árbol cuyas ramas casi tocaban el suelo, frente al cual se reflejaban en el agua el cielo y parte del castillo, mientras que el sol filtraba su luz dorada a través de sus ramas. Oro puro para mi salud mental y corporal encontré, nunca habrá riqueza mayor.
