This was meant to be just a recce as I favour a good sunset (ok we don't seem to get those atm) but the walk from where you park the car is longer then I expected especially when I've been suffering from a bit of a Lyme flare up this week. However for me poppies are enough of a motivation to shake off any aches and pains!!

The light and shadows I think were enough for me to come away with a couple of shots that weren't completely flat but I do favour that golden light

I hope to return before they go over! And summer where are you?

Binx loves to help with anything. Right now, he is helping my husband play Madden Football. He has all sorts of good ideas and he will even tell you when you have played long enough with a little nip at your hand. Do you think the cat runs the house? Well, you would be correct! Haha!

Lots of sun today, giving me a chance to bundle up and get some shots.

Thank you for looking at my photos. It is very much appreciated.

....they leave us all the more vibrant for the pleasure of their company.

(and the pun is entirely intentional)

Morning has broken in the Karwendel mountains...

When the sun hits this window, light bounces off in all directions.

Not sure if this little barn will last another winter, but it looks like the tree decided to help protect it over the years...

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

When you are fighting to be with him but you feel second best, when you wait around for him and for the rest of your life to start with him.

I've waited all my life... If not now, when?

When you feel like you're on a downward escalator and everyone's rushing at you.

Even the most vivid memories fade with age.

Memories fade with age:

Due to normal brain changes like shrinking, reduced white matter (disrupting brain cell communication), and declining neurogenesis (new brain cell growth) in areas like the hippocampus, alongside less blood flow and fewer protective hormones/proteins, affecting memory storage and retrieval. It's a natural process, like a muscle weakening, where less-used connections falter, making recall slower.

Memories change:

Because they are dynamic and reconstructed, not perfect recordings; each time you recall a memory, it can be updated with new information, emotions, or suggestions, similar to the game of whispers, leading to distortions, added false details, or fading details to keep them relevant, useful, and less cluttered for the present. This process, called reconsolidation, allows the brain to adapt memories for future use, even if it sacrifices perfect accuracy, - - - - sad but you can't really trust your memory.

The moment I saw you I knew my life would never be the same again. At the time, I didn't know what that actually meant.

It was only over time that I realized what a gift, what an enrichment you are for my life. That there is a person who means more to me than anything else. It still overwhelms me when I think back to your first hour in the world, which I was allowed to spend with you. Okay, most of the time you were yelling at me, but since then, at least that's how it feels to me, something special connects us.

And now look at you, 18 years later. This little baby whose feet were smaller than my thumb has grown into a beautiful young woman.

A young woman with personality, with rough edges, with a lot of empathy and humor. It fills me with great pride to see you like this today.

I am very happy to have you in my life and that I was able to accompany you on your way to here and that I can continue to do so.

For your further journey, which is called life, I wish you much success and happiness and all the best. At the same time, I wish you the strength and self-confidence to overcome setbacks and defeats. I am excited to see where your journey will take you and i will always be there for you if you need me.

In dem Moment, als ich Dich zum ersten Mal sah wusste ich, dass mein Leben nie wieder so sein wird wie es vorher war. Was das tatsächlich bedeutet, wusste ich zu diesem Zeitpunkt allerdings noch nicht.

Erst mit der Zeit begriff ich, welch ein Geschenk, welch eine Bereicherung du für mein Leben bist. Das da ein Mensch ist, der mir mehr bedeutet als alles andere. Noch immer überwältigt es mich, wenn ich an deine erste Stunde auf der Welt zurück denke, welche ich mit dir verbringen durfte. Ok, die meiste Zweit davon hast du mich angeschrien doch seit dem, so fühlt es sich für mich zumindest an, verbindet uns etwas Besonderes.

Und nun sieh Dich an, 18 Jahre später. Aus diesem kleinen Baby, deren Füße kleiner waren als mein Daumen, ist eine wunderschöne, junge Frau geworden.

Eine junge Frau mit Persönlichkeit, mit Ecken und Kanten, mit viel Empathie und Humor. Es erfüllt mich mit großem Stolz, dich heute so zu sehen.

Ich bin sehr glücklich, Dich in meinem Leben zu haben und darüber, dass ich Dich auf deinem Weg bis hier her begleiten durfte und dies auch weiterhin darf.

Für Deine weitere Reise, die sich das Leben nennt, wünsche ich Dir viel Erfolg und Glück und auch sonst alles erdenklich Gute. Gleichzeitig wünsche ich Dir auch die Kraft und das Selbstvertrauen Rückschläge und Niederlagen zu meistern. Ich bin gespannt zu sehen, wo Dich deine Reise hinführen wird und immer für Dich da, wenn du mich brauchst.

goodbye, summer.

You can surf anytime :). Taken this winter at the Cap d'Espoir beach in Gaspésie, Québec, Canada

When one could still walk in the woods, in France.

When you get up early on your day off at work and observe the awakening of the city you feel an immense satisfaction at being able to witness that moment and photograph what other days do not allow you to see.

This is an image of Madrid skyline today at sunrise, at 07:46 AM, before sunrise, more and more late, at 08:12 AM, and with a temperature of 57F (14ºC).

Enjoy this Wednesday!

Especially dedicated to my beloved wife, who will soon turn 40 ...

Better viewed large.

___________________________________________

Cuando uno se levanta temprano en su día libre en el trabajo y observa el despertar de la ciudad se siente una inmensa satisfacción por poder presenciar ese momento y fotografiar lo que otros días no te permiten ver.

Esta es imagen del skyline de Madrid hoy al amanecer, a las 07:46 AM, antes de la salida del sol, cada vez más tarde, a las 08:12 AM, y con una temperatura de 57F (14ºC).

¡Disfruta de este miércoles!

Especialmente dedicada a mi amada esposa, quien pronto cumplirá 40 años...
