On the rocks sounds so devastatingly tragic, and slightly uncomfortable. After all, position is everything.
Today is #MonochromeMonday by #Old-Guy-Photos! I know I am running a little late here, but, I think I made it on time. Barely. Hurry! You can still make it! Throw up a monochrome or three.
In the place just right,
We will be in the valley
Of Love and Delight - Shaker Hymn
We enjoy it so much.
We express it so little.
It can make your heart shine like the stars in the universe.
The most beautiful feeling in the world.
As always, there must be a flower. This flower is dedicated to #MondayRed by @Kalemandra who colors my world every single day.
And just like that, this post is over. From beginning to end, I'll do it again, probably tomorrow. Have an amazing day! Do something fabulous!
I want to take a moment to thank @Old-Guy-Photos for hosting the #MonochromeMonday challenge. Join the tag and have some fun with it!
Have a great week ahead! 💖
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

I have had a bit of a rough spell lately, even for me lol...but this post was awesome. You may not know it, but I love all things nautical and especially lighthouses! Thanks a bunch for taking part in MonochromeMonday!
Well, you know I like #TreeTuesday better, right? ;)
There is something about trees that really delights the soul. Perhaps what they do for the world, hand in hand with Mother Nature. But, you know that I am tickled pink you like my lighthouse. I do love them, although I find them challenging to photograph.
#MonochromeMonday is my pleasure, of course.

Am I a lighthouse? What a question. Well, I think the best that I could answer is "I AM TRYING MY BEST TO." Safe as it may seem, I am living to be so. To be a lighthouse to guide my little fellow is my utmost privilege in life.
Thank you for being an inspiration, as always, Denise @dswigle. 😍
That was such a sweet reply, Ging. @gingbabida That is exactly how I feel about my kids and hope to always be their light in the midst of a storm in their life.

Buen dia amiga,inicio admirando esas tonalidades blanco y negro de sus fotos,y a cerca del escrito como desearia ser un buen faro,y es muy cierto wue ya esos guardianes los años han echo estragos con ellos y estan alejados,ya a esas edades quisieran pero no pueden,saludos y muy fuera de lo comun su trabajo por el colorido
Muchas gracias. Siempre pienso en las personas como faros, guiando a otros a un lugar seguro o mejor para ellos.
Estoy haciendo un desafío monocromo, por eso elegí el blanco y negro. ¡Espero que estes teniendo un gran dia!

What an awesome post I do love lighthouses even though i have got very few shots of them thats something i need to work on
I love your question are you a lighthouse, my honest answer is I dont know but it has got me thinking
!trdo
Now, that really surprises me! Especially since the kids are in Massachusetts. See here You will be having a blast when you relocate! There is so much to do, you won't miss New York City!
Lies! Lies! But, you will miss it less!
I know that when you go there, it is for family time, but, that will change once you move up there. I think you will be so very happy, and you will become one of those uppity yuppities who winter in Florida. LOL
Thank you for stopping by and I can definitely say you are a lighthouse, people are always learning from you and you are always helping everyone out, including myself. So, thank you for that and so much more!
Have a great night!
!tip
I did do two trips with Lulu to find lighthouses here in CT both times I took a zig when I should have zagged and never found the and that was using a GPS, the only times i generally see then when driving along and can't stop or its a rainy day and not good for photos, but now with your link you shared and thanks so much for that I will try and get to see someof these when we move there
Ohh I know I will miss NYC, but hopefully will find new things and keep myself busy.
I try and help when I can but still am not sure I am a lighthouse
Cheers and !BEER

You just like posting photos that I would love to use as creative inspiration for art.. don't you Denise? Man that lighthouse shot is AWESOME!! Did you take that? Where is that one located? So cool. As always.. A beautifully written post with perfectly complimentary poem :-)
Portland Head Light, which is a historic lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. It is actually the main shipping lane and goes into Portland Channel. I believe it is the oldest lighthouse in Maine.
I am so glad you like it. I have a million lighthouse shots, but, of course, you know that is an exaggeration! I have a few less, to be honest.
I take all of the pictures that I post, but once in a blue moon, I may use one to emphasize a point, but, it will always be sourced. Thank you always for such kind, generously worded comments. So very sweet of you! And yes! The words are mine too. :)

Love your analogy of the lighthouses! Sad, so many of the seniors are no longer found as part of the street scene! There is so much you can learn from them!
Beautiful monochrome! Something I haven't done much in but it does give a good effect.
Thanks for sharing!
Isn't that sad? It is the way I grew up in a Northeastern neighborhood where elders ruled! I actually don't work in monochromes very much either, only when I have to. :)
To me, they are difficult to picture exactly which one would look good in black and white as opposed to color. I am one of those that doesn't have the vision for that. But, I am learning.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your wonderful comment behind!

Lovely that you had that experience with the elders but it is sad that the next generation will not get to experience it the same!

Great post of wise things and i love the photo of the old weather old guy i love talking to older figures like that , there is so much to learn from them 😀
Isn't that the truth! I love meeting random people of age like that. The things I learn from them is invaluable. Nothing you would read in a book, or sure.
Le sigh.
Life used to be so cool like that long ago and far away. Before people got busy with earning and accumulating more wealth. Elders watched over the neighborhood, teaching guiding and befriending the kids. Times have sure changed.
I hope you are having a great weekend!
!tip
So true sometimes i wish i had the gift of speaking more languages the things can learn and hear about from these elderly people would be mind blowing and yep things have certainly changed it's all about the money now a days 😒 😒
Have a great weekend my friend ❤️
