Week 42/52

 

The Fall and the Winter are never easy on me. They're the time when everything always seems to go wrong, when I go down the drain, when I slide into bed and don't have the will to come out until it's warm outside, again. That's a little of what this shot is about.

 

The dark seasons, as I call them, are isolating. The rain keeps you inside, the cold makes you get into a thousand pieces of clothing and you feel stuffed, constrained. There's none of that freedom from the Summer. There's no hope, no reason to wait for anything. For me, it's excruciating.

 

I'm trying to turn it around, though. I'm trying to enjoy the Fall, I'm getting excited about my trip to England in December, I'm actually enjoying making pies and jams and sweets. I'm trying to fight it. But at the same time, I feel like I have to fight off my demons — and this is how I do it. It's just so I don't wake up in the middle of the night, my chest clad in that anxiety that makes me want to scream; it's just so I don't let the darkness get the best of me and run away with my thoughts and my smile; it's just so I don't succumb to the coldness outside. Because that's all I ask for the months to come: that they allow me to keep my head above the surface.

hi there. i finally developed a roll of film :)

 

how's the pandemic treating you? i've been growing out my natural hair since the beginning. 9 months later, this virus is worse than when it started and i'm almost a brand new person. ;)

 

i have been very safe and remained healthy. i was tested last week after not feeling well for a few days, but it was only a cold. i was negative. however, i have spoken with many people who have not been so lucky.

 

be well. stay home. take care of yourself.

 

we will survive.

Week 10: Pairs (Mar 5th - Mar 11th)

Rectangles and Squares

Hannibal, Missouri

So I'd taken this already but forgotton and have been getting behind in my shot a week!

A take on a common shot but wanting to use some natural light from the patio doors to cast a smooth diffuse shadow to one side too. Hope you like.

Chaque Week-End je présente à mes amis une de mes photos souvenir, (enfance, jeunesse) je commence par celle-ci... je suis entrain de choisir une musique pour une fiction que nous avons réalisée

 

C'était en 1980, stage de fin d'études à Bouvines nous étions une trentaine d'étudiants, chaque groupe de 3 choisit une activité, j'avais opté pour la vidéo

 

Par la même occasion qui connait la région pour me donner des infos sur le centre d'animations culturelles pour stagiaires à Bouvines - Lille s'il existe encore. Merci

iPhone panorama taken on a lazy Sunday at Portland Head Light. I would call this love under the tree.

 

A feather from my collection. Not my best effort, but it was a busy week. Will try harder this week.

Please pardon this. I have finals that week, and was studying for ten hours a day. It was horrible. But they're done now!

  

edit

Oh my god, this almost has 50 favorites, thank you so much! It's kinda growing on me, it makes me feel calm looking at it :3

home alone 48...make of it what you will ;-)

 

This weeks message is "Go With the Flow"

 

A Taoist story tells of an old man who accidentally fell into the river rapids leading to a high and dangerous waterfall. Onlookers feared for his life. Miraculously, he came out alive and unharmed downstream at the bottom of the falls. People asked him how he managed to survive. "I accommodated myself to the water, not the water to me. Without thinking, I allowed myself to be shaped by it. Plunging into the swirl, I came out with the swirl. This is how I survived."

 

I had a different plan for this weeks photo, and it did not work out. I had this idea last night, and it also did not come out as planned. I became so frustrated with the details of the photo, and my inability to achieve the results I wanted, that i don't even remember what point i was trying to make. So, I begrudgingly accepted what I had and posted it. After sleeping on it the message became clear.

We cannot always control the events of our lives. even the little details tend to go awry. A zipper breaks, the road is closed, they are out of your flavor of ice cream, or you photo is not what you wanted. It is by accepting what comes our way, and going with it, that we will reach our destination.

So, I am not thrilled with the photo, but I get the message, and that is good.

 

Lesson 2

 

When all else fails, laugh at yourself!

animals are kind of like little children =)

Wikipedia: This was a British coin worth one quarter of a penny, or in other words 960 coins were worth a pound sterling. The wren motif appeared from 1937 until 1956.

For the Nighttime Long Exposure theme at 52 weeks in 2018.

Well, it rained most of the week and all of the weekend so my plans for an outdoor shot didn't work. Hope this is acceptable.

Explored!

it's day five already!

thank you for all the fantastic amounts of inspiration this week, polaroid people! :)

(if for some reason you haven't been introduced to the amazingness that is 'roid week.. here ya go.)

No more placenta previa :)

 

Feeling baby's hiccups every once and a while. What an odd feeling!

  

Refraction is such a cool theme and it brings back memories of this group. My first ever Explore was from a refraction theme for this group in 2013 and it’s still my profile pic.

Last week my love and I were on our way to botanical garden. But the traffic was dreadful, and since we couldn’t change the traffic we changed our route: outside the city…up to the mountains. And then down to a lake.

There was a summerish autumn in İstanbul. As we started climbing, the temperature started declining. When we reached the top, there was 15 degrees difference... and chilly yet most refreshing air…reviving us.

Most of the mountain trees had worn their autumn clothes, though some of them were still green. The trees in the city were still green back then.

Things had changed in the last week: the trees of the city started to wear their autumn clothes, too. The weeds and grass got green and greener because of soft rain and sunshine following each other, yet the trees tell me it is autumn!

 

On a trip out today with the wife and happened upon this old abandoned barn on the side of the road near Daventry, Northamptonshire and just had to take a look. I took a few shots but this is one of the favourites and meets week 17's theme in my photo a week challenge.

 

I love the geometry of the beams and rafters which practically scream triangles, rectangles and probably even parallelograms everywhere. Certainly a testament to the workmanship given this roof is still standing when some of the brick walls have holes you could walk through! And no, I don't mean doors LOL

What I do every single day of the week, is go for a walk. Walking is healthy, we sit around too much so I walk and I love it.

Early mornings are the best !

  

Thank you for your views, faves and or comments, they are greatly appreciated !!!

Me at 31 weeks pregnant. Time for new shirts!!

I'm now 29 weeks pregnant.... where has the time gone?

 

My tummy is expanding more than I ever thought it could... I actually have a baby in there! I sometimes forget how real it is!

I love being pregnant... I reckon I'm going to miss my bump....

Had a pretty good photog day......which always makes me happy. I have so many to look through and so I'm sure I'll be uploading more photos throughout the week.

 

I took the time today to lay out under the sun...and just enjoy the nature around me. The sky has been SO blue here in the Keys lately. I mean BLUE! It's gorgeous.

 

A little update on my continuing Anxiety situation. I had another visit with my doc who decided that he would like to try me on Buspar next. Though I'm still apprehensive about it, I will give it a shot. I am also starting counseling this week as well as the woman's bible study from my church. I am so excited about these things and look forward to seeing how this will help me. The funny thing is....I"m already feeling a difference in myself, just making these choices to find help in various avenues.

 

For the first time in a while....I am looking forward to the future. THough I know that there will be some challenges ahead, I'm really ready to take them as they come.

 

Plus I have my most awesome flickr friends to help me out when I need it!

 

xoxoxoxo

 

much luv!

This is an old travel trunk of my Dad's, and is at least 60+ years old!

[ 02 / 52 Weeks - 09 - 15 january ]

This week subject: Nature.

 

Metamorphosis.

Sono in una situazione di stallo. Una parte di me vuole "rinnovarsi", l'altra rimane ancorata saldamente alle scelte passate.

Inizialmente avevo in testa un altro progetto, ma credo che questo esprima in pieno il mio presente. L'idea mi piace, non sono entusiasta del risultato, ma ormai è fatta.

 

Due settimane di progetto e due foto alle mani. Giuro che nella prossima cambio soggetto e location!XD

 

La foto non vuole essere REALISTICA, sennò mi mettevo a photoshoppare al posto di infilarmi dei rametti nella manica!XD

This shot has NOT a realistic aim.

Small road not far from the house.

Colors manipulated, plus I replaced a Northern Shoveler duck with this Cormorant, which I was able to photograph a few minutes later - but in a less desirable location :)

 

Compositionally Challenged, Week 47, Water.

For 52 weeks the 2016 Edition - What is it?

The blue is just a reflection.

Fleet Week begins!

Stealth.

Liberty Harbor.

We've had a few welcome sunny days this week but there's mention of the s work in the forecast for Easter.

This is where we take Fudge for his daily walk. Unfortunately it's close to a busy road so we don't let him run off the lead.

I started this project exactly half a year ago. I’m sad that the time passed so fast and happy because there’s another 26 weeks left.

 

in twenty six weeks...

... I will be 20 and it will be okay.

... I will be done with school for good.

... I will be able to not care about what others think.

... I will be content with who I am.

... I will know what I want to achieve.

... I will be happy.

 

as for last week, I spent my time on studying ethics and french and realizing how bad I really am at maths.

and I noticed how much I love spending my time with the people I got to know at school. I am incredibly happy I changed schools in 10th grade. I had so many problems and I don’t have any of them anymore. I am grateful for the people I have around me and I enjoy random moments with them so much. sometimes I just remember what that change did to me. and I know it was the best decision I have ever made.
