Am is
Circling in a space that never ends
Twists and leaps and loops across universes
Birth and death the two certainties that
At the same time are uncertain
One breathes the other exhales
From the past to the present then the future
Both sit at the edge of somewhere
Waiting for the light to appear

The solar eclipse from last year. And now my attempt at poetry.

Paw prints in the snow, a bicycle leaning on a fence at 4673 St. Famille in #Montreal #streetphotography #UrbanGaze #LePlateau #CityScape

A bicycle leans against a wrought iron fence in front of an urban brick house dwelling. The bike has a basket over it’s front wheel. There are paw prints in the snow that had fallen in the early morning.

I created this image by holding a kaleidoscope lens in front of the camera. The combination of the reflection of the sky and the distortion caused by the lens, makes for endless possibilities. #photography #nature

A photo of a forested landscape distorted by a kaleidoscope lens. You can see a reflection of tree branches and a cloudy sky.

Vanishing and Endangered Cultures @nowaykgn.bsky.social · 2d

When I met the wide-eyed gaze of this schoolgirl—her tousled hair, her face alive with quiet curiosity—I lowered my camera. In that instant, her unguarded innocence shattered my detachment, reminding me of the fleeting privileges we take for granted and the fragile beauty of our shared humanity.

Upon seeing the wide-eyed gaze of this innocent schoolgirl, her tousled hair framing a face filled with quiet curiosity and unspoken stories from a distant classroom, I had to put my camera down. In that moment of stillness, I reflected on the fleeting nature of my own life—the privileges, the cultures fading away before my eyes, and how a single child's unfiltered expression can cut through the lens to remind us of our shared humanity.

My #applecake I made for #Thanksgiving #Peace Recipe in the alt description. #Canada

Mix together and set aside:
4 apples, peeled, pared, and sliced.
1 tsp cinnamon
4 tbps sugar
In a large bowl mix:
1 cup of canola oil
2 cups of sugar
4 eggs
Add:
2 1/2 tsps of vanilla
3 cups of flour
3tsps baking powder
1/2 cup of orange juice
a pinch of salt

Pour 1/3 of the batter into an open centre pan
Add some of the apple mixture
Continue alternating, ending with apples on top
Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.
I personally am a little picky with this, and like to arrange the apple slices in a pattern as you can see. I do this for every layer. Also I like to use cortland apples for this cake, but any apple will do. It's just that the cortland ones are usually firmer and larger and keep their shape. Enjoy!

Sickening! All the arse licking going on at that get together at that summit in Egypt. Where were all these people when Israel was setting up their apartheid state that led to October 7.

Off with his head! A nobleman at #parcLeroux in #VilleLaSalle tries to put his head back into place. #Halloween is coming. Wonder what this year’s has in store! #Montreal

A halloween actor at tries to put his head back into place. He and his noble woman stand on ground covered in leaves. There are tombstones surrounding them. They are dressed in white.

Happy #Stunday and #imageandverse day
One of my favorite trees an old Ponderosa .. beyond it is usually a fantastic view but it’s covered by heavy snow today

Weathered twisted form
Now in silence cold and still
Shaped beneath the snow

This black-and-white photograph portrays a solemn winter scene of a fallen tree — a figure of quiet surrender to time and season.

The forecast promised clear skies, but a blanket of dawn mist over the lake turned the morning into this scene.

#Sunset on the cove and the calm before the storm. #CTShoreline #landscape #photography #reflections Enjoy the rest of your day and evening! See you tomorrow at sunrise 😊

Sunset with a light layer of clouds with some blue skies. There’s a bit of pink on the horizon. The water is calm and reflecting the landscape and sky.
