Hello! 😃

He will live on through his works, his loved ones, and even through us. ✨

My heart breaks to hear this. He will be so missed, in many spheres.

Happy 2025 to you Angela. 😃

Drink in the calm.
So beautiful.

I love this so much. 🥰

I wonder who is the model?

I love.love.love golden gingkos. I’ve very happily found a few big ones by the town cemetery.

Thank you!
I must admit I was embarrassed when I finally discovered the stop sign reality. 🫢

This is stunning!!

Thank you so much for being interested and reading my little story. I have many photos from that trip. I hope you will get to see some of the others too to vicariously experience the place. 🥰

I’m in New England at the moment.

I love foggy days.
My Boxing Day is slightly snowy and cold.

Such a classic British scene. ☺️

A lovely hidden gem!

My photos often marinate on the HD for very long periods of time.

You too 🙂

😁 🥰

Thank you Eric. I hope you’re having a great end to 2024.

A black and white, portrait orientated, infrared photograph of a single "Christmas Tree" in a field of wheat. The foreground is soil in a dark shade. The mid-ground field of grain zigzags in from the left in a light shade. Through the middle of the field, there is a diagonal path from right to left in a dark shade breaking the field and the photo in half. Centered on the path is a Christmas tree (cone) shaped evergreen that is similarly dark toned. The wheat field meets the horizon as a hill. The sky is light at the horizon and gradually becomes dark as it rises. It is speckled with soft brush stroke clouds. The essence of the image is one of calm, peace and hope. I made this in Hokkaido Japan. I went alone a few years ago, which was a challenge as there is little English spoken, I speak virtually no Japanese and I don't even like most Japanese food. Difficulty began on arrival. I could not find the car rental place at the little airport. There were no signs I could read and no one spoke English. Eventually I found a counter with a lady. She had a laminated A4 paper with multiple choice questions written in Japanese and English. I chose the one that applied. The car rental place was a bus ride away - another adventure. And once there another laminated A4 paper. The second of many. Sadly, the car I had reserved specifically with an English speaking GPS, had no such thing. Lots of (friendly) hand gestures later, I accepted that I would need to figure this out on my own. I used Google Maps, but it would not speak to me, so it was basically a very small paper map in the front seat. A few days later, I learned that stop signs in Japan are not octagonal. They are red triangles and of course, do not say "STOP". Opps. Fortunately there were very few other cars around, so I probably didn't irritate too many people before learning this. There were many challenges on this trip. but it was overwhelmingly one of my favorite adventures ever. :)

Wishing you all a delightful end of 2024, filled with light, love and laughter. 🎄✨❤️

This photo is from a solo trip I made to Hokkaido, Japan. I have included a small story from that very interesting adventure below the alt text for anyone interested. 🙂
