God bless everyone at this time and I hope you are all doing well and making the best of it with your families. We had a few health issues this year and it’s been an all round stressful time. I’m less active on social media -But still photographing – and, there is a light coming!!

An old Mariner reminisces as smoke from the Oregon fires hovers over the Juan de Fuca Strait( I got a recognition award for this one)
We’ll get together soon Dad!November light
Wait in silence oh my soul
I know you’re tired but come, this is the way – Rumi
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
there’s a crack, a crack in everything
that’s how the light gets in
I wish all the best for our neighbours in America this next while
Hi, welcome back. I wondered where you had got to.
These photos are truly autumnal, a shade off sepia. I’m using my Samsung right now so must go to the Laptop for a larger view.
In spite of bad times all is ok here. I’m not alone this time because a wonderful Golden Retriever, Mia, is with me! As you can imagine I’m quite busy but happy! 🙂
Worthy images. I like them. I know you are a superlative photographer and deserve recognition!
Hugs hugs hugs!

oh a golden retriever!! I am so happy you are well Glauco and that I still hear from you. Thank you for your wonderful words and support and I send love back to you!
So beautiful! Sorry you’ve been dealing with health issues. This has been a crazy and difficult year all around. As crazy as it is, I know all will be well. We all know the how the story ends in the great scheme of things! 😉 I’m so glad you keep taking your photos! Wishing you health and happiness! ❤
and to you too Linda. Yes to all you said and thank you for your good wishes. I send them back to you and hope the winter season will be kind to all of us!!
All your lovely images are award winners in my opinion. This has been a very tough year in many ways. Health concerns and politics are things that cause so much stress. I hope for a brighter future for us all and for this planet. So good to see your post.
Magical images as always Cybele – congratulations on the recognition award! I hope that your medical issues are getting better and that you get some enjoyment and peace from the coming season.
Thank you so much Andrea!! Hopefully the world might see an end to all this madness in the New Year. Yet the bird still flies, The deer are in the wood and lots of magical things in the ground!! Many blessings my friend.
