Last summer when Maya was small and finding her feet with it all, her favourite (and probably many dogs), was to be out in the sun. She no longer poses like this outside as gets far too excited or just wants to lick the camera. For that reason, this photo will remain one of my favourites.
Although, she has developed a more casual approach in the house now she is older which I am able to photograph. Still just as adorable.

By the bank Palit got his flute out. He blew a long, monotone sound. Then they waited. Nothing happened. -Maybe we’re in the wrong place? Nista glanced over at Palit staring out on the lake. -Look! The water moved. Something came up, emerged through the surface. A hippo creature, big as a whale. It moved in to the shore and waited. Palit leaped out on the big beast’s back. -Come on, jump! Nista hesitated. It didn’t look safe. The animal sunk down, moved away from the shore. -Jump! She jumped, landed on its back. Slipped, fell into the water. Palit pulled her up. The journey was long. The creature walked on the bottom where it could, swam where it had to. The water got deeper, the rocks on the sides taller. -Where are we going? Nista said. -I have no idea. The old man only told me I had to blow the flute. The rest would be up to fate. They moved out into open water…. (more)

We go from here
The narrative set
Is a landscape of fear
Turned they have
The normal brain
To be taboo
To feel insane
For questioning
What should be fine
But instead
We walk the line
Of knowing not
Where this will go
Beholden to
The strangest show
Yet on we go
Because we must
No longer sure
If we can trust
Ourselves

I used to make cards for friends and family for Christmas and birthdays and everyone always seemed to love them.
So after a few years of no longer having anyone to make cards for I decided to see if anyone out there might like them 😁
I brought some new coloured card having previously only used red, blue, green and pale lilac. I use my hand drawn art to print on the card, then I add the extra touches by hand. Once I have a set completed, then I will post the finished product. Getting the reflective silver and gold to shimmer in the photographs isn’t working out so well yet.

Having only recently got back into reading short stories I was very happy with this choice.
This story is a bit longer than a short, and a bit shorter than a novella, but it wasn’t noticed once I started reading.
Infinity by Marc W Shako.
Quite an unusual storyline, reminiscent of Logans Run for me, but slightly more gritty and quite fast paced. Each chapter led on well to the next and although the immediate story going on was wrapped up, there was the implication of much more. It would be nice to see the story developed into a full novel. But definite thumbs up from me.
I love sunrise and today I was up at the right time to catch it. Not one to usually want to remember anniversaries of things, but today marks 17 years since my mother passed away. She loved pink, so maybe this one was for her 🙂
These changed within about 5-10 minutes from pink to purple to looking like the sky has become a volcano. A nice way to start the say.

This last summer we have had some lovely days in the garden. Usually meaning ball time, me convincing Maya to drop it, and finally her being over the top catching it.
Here are the results.

I love patterns and photography, and managed to find a way to mix the two. All of my patterns are from my own macro and nature photography turned into bright and colourful designs. There are over 1200 original designs in my shop and all are available on a range of products. If you want to add a bit of colour to your life, I’ve got you covered 🙂
Link for this product as the bottom of post, but feel free to ask if any assistance is required to help pick a colour or design.

So much has happened
It’s hard to explain
And so consumed
One can’t contain
The rug’s been pulled
From underfoot
While what you knew
Is firmly put
Away, behind you
To be no more
The futures changed
And now seems war
Is being raged
Against your mind
Manipulated
I think you’ll find
What they seek
They do not hide
To conquer us
They must divide
What we think
And friend from friend
And forward we go
To whatever end
