GREAT pic QMS! That prop looks too clean. Needs some algae on it. Documenting is good, a great habit to get into. For me recording nature, birds especially, trained me early on to document things. Photos, descriptions, notes, audio recordings, I need a decade now to sort, collate, and put decades of it into more useful forms.

many years ago, that pharmaceuticals were a horrific way to treat depression.
A pill for this, a shot for that. Micro-dosing literally saved my life.
Many frown on my approach to maintaining my life. It's illegal and unproven they say.
When nature provides, I thank her.

@janis b
but I will. There are many stories about better healing through alternative means.
LSD is another drug that many frown upon until they try it. The majority have been brainwashed into believing that if it isn't approved by a government body, it's taboo. On the same side, many believe if it's illegal there's a reason.
So many have lost their ability to think for themselves. It's a pox on all.
Thanks for the link.

beautiful shell Janis. We have occasionally gotten similar things in the fish biz called Tropical Abalone. It is very near an Abalone, but our temperate ones are different.

Memories.
Those thoughts long past. The days forgotten but always remembered. Feeling bliss from the sun while fearing the dark.
The nights full of moonshine. The darkness so consuming except for the stars.
Enter enlightenment.

Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
Those blades made in miniature would make a nice pendant, and I also really like the small round piece with three tiny holes in the first photo. Thanks
the disk with the 3 holes is the cap for the prop
once it is installed on the hub
(part of the shaft)
sounds silly, but true.
good to see you J

Big difference between then and now. I drove through this storm and it was incredible. Little rain, little snow, lots and lots of snow and wind and white knuckle driving. It wasn’t too bad going back through it tho.
More photos on my phone. I’ll post next week. It almost looked like huge waves moved the sand and it froze in place. But looking closer it’s almost like an earthquake happened. Broken up and flipped. Top 2 inches are pure salt and more salty than salt. Very strong. Cool. I got so many great photos. Even remembered to take my camera. That’s as far as I got tho cuz I left it home. DOH!

Mind Candy
Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
Those are some pretty 'roons
mind candy indeed!

Hi Pricknick
Have you read the thoroughly entertaining and fascinating book, A Really Good Day, by Ayelet Waldman on the subject?

No I haven't
but I will. There are many stories about better healing through alternative means.

Ocean candy
Wow, the colors in your ocean cookie!
Can almost smell the barnacles ...
A little rosey, maybe?
It's my favourite shell, and in reality the colours are even more intense and life-like.
Can see why it is a keepsake
the rosy barnacle contrasts with the
blues and greens
really beautiful
dip it in brine to bring back the colors
I will do that
and photograph it wet sometime. Thanks for the suggestion.
Evening, Janis
What type of shell is that? It looks like an Abalone.
I woke up this morning determined to drink less, eat right, and exercise.
But that was four hours ago when I was younger and full of hope.
believe it to be
an ordinary clamshell
grown upon by the ocean's
minerals
It's a relative of the abalone,
Paua
What a beautiful shell
sorry I called it a clam
Pāua are large sea snails that are highly valued by Māori
It's sort of sweet that you did,
and I'm sure the Paua didn't mind ; ).
beautiful shell J!

Hi QMS

Probably hard to visualize
the disk with the 3 holes is the cap for the prop
once it is installed on the hub

sounds silly, but true.
good to see you J
Upside down
it looks like an aztec or alien figure.
probably right
these metal objects seem to have
an inscriptive life of their own
pounded metals
Another specimen
This grips me
as having a native Indian aspect
or perhaps a zen tuning
good eye!
That's an interesting observation
I like it, thanks QMS.
New Zealand's Quota Management System (QMS)
an association
Glad you finally discovered
your association in NZ ; ).
Great lighting!
I really love this shot, Janis.

Hi Social
What vibrancy, and great titles! I'd like a bag of those lollipops ; ).
Here, candies are called lollies.
Thank you, Janis.
We also call lollipops suckers here.
I woke up this morning determined to drink less, eat right, and exercise.
But that was four hours ago when I was younger and full of hope.
Is there a way I can purchase an image
of your fairy garden?
I don't speak flickr.
thanks sp
I don't sell my photos, but
if you PM me your address I'll print and send you a copy no purchase required.

This is from the camera I’ve been thinking of
I don’t understand how he gets the pictures from the height it seems. Anyone?
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
Voting is like driving with a toy steering wheel.
Amazing footage!
I think it shows how unbelievably strong the osprey must be, to free itself from the pelican's massive beak.
