Ask yourself: Where am I? Answer: Here.
Ask yourself: What time is it? Answer: Now.
Say it until you can hear it.

and as the ravens cracked out of their shells and clawed their way to the surface their feathers were singed and burned to a shiny black.

Nicely captured, Hedy. You had me really wondering what this was. I never would have guessed, of course. Have a great day. Enjoy the crisper weather.
I had a tough time concentrating on the music…this was the ESO’s first indoor concert…such great pieces the women shared…and yes it’s fresher again today…hoping your well Chris…back teaching? 🤓☺️☀️
Right now, I am teaching teachers how to use Zoom and Google Classroom. Next week, classes will begin with my students. It will be good to see them again.
Well that’s a good thing…here the U of A is using Zoom as well…have a productive week! 🤓☺️
Play the melodies of life.
From black to white.
Let’s see them all Hedy!
Fascinating photography
The music was stellar Eddie…I felt I was in some surreal world…watching all the masked humans…with the music it was like a film 🤓☺️ have a joyful day dear Eddie ~ hugs hedy 🤗💫
Such a joyful tail to tell. hugs, dear heart

Must go there in the Arctic sometime as long it is still possible and not all ice and permafrost melted away 💦💦💦💦
Yes I’d love that…I’ve only been to Yellowknife…which was a wonderful experience. 🤓☺️☀️
i wonder if anyone, besides me, who knows what a datsun bluebird is/was. lol
my father always said it was a BMW wannabe 🤓 but I don’t know Buddy ☺️🚙
I never heard it related to a BMW but the BMW 2002 was a great car also. So I can see how it might be compared to the BMW 2002.
my father was a car lover…I’m going with his words…but I don’t know… 🤷♀️ I’ve had one car in my life…I like highway driving…otherwise walk and cycle when I can…have a good night Buddy ~ sending you joy hedy ☺️💫
😁😁😁
Well I googled it and Google says yes it was referred to as a poor man’s BMW since the designer was trying to copy the BMW 2002. 😊😊😊
He taught me many car trivia things…car games…I’m thinking someone mentioned it here in this thread too…I think my mother had a green Datsun once now too 🚗 ☺️🙋♀️
Remarkable photographs, intriguing music. Thank you once again.
The Datsun Bluebird was a long series. The most famous in the United States was called the 510 here. Poor man’s BMW. But quite a few years later there was the 910, which I think is the one you’re referring to.
the datsun 510 was a good car. they tried to bring it back some years later, but it was not the same.
It was. And no, it as not the same.
🤓😂my father said that too Michael…yes the music was so cool to me…albeit it the mask story was also running through my hedy head ☺️🤓😷🙋♀️💫 have a creative day ~ smiles hedy
It all came together… 😊
yes I think in visual stories…I usually have a hedy head plan 🤓🙃🙂 💫
And they are always so wonderful.
Well at least here on sloppy…it’s a space where it is just all wonderful ☺️😉🙂🙃
You are very lucky, sloppy! 😂🤪🤓
😉🙃🙂
Such a beautiful post, my dear Hedy…
enjoyed the music too!
Yes it was a beautiful selection of women’s work…herstroy 🤓❣️ thanks kindly Marina ~ hugs hedy 🤗

Numbers have become slippery, but nature keeps moving. Even down here we can fell the breath of sry air. In a few weeks, we’ll feel cooler air. And, still numbers will have no meaning.
It’s 2 here right now and ☀️💫🥶 and not hard to get me doubting the numbers 🤓☺️ enjoy your sandwich and a coffee Ray ☕️🥪🙋♀️
Numbers have turned flexible. They slip and slide. Only nature remains in play. The funny thing is… I don’t eat very many sandwich, especially now when we are trapped at home.
I’m not so fond of bread…been drinking miso soup…and going to fetch vegetables from some local farms…I’m grateful for this veggies 🌶 🍅 🌽 🥕 🥔 🥒 🍆 I’m amazed at what they grow…enjoy some soup Ray ~ hugs hedy ☺️🤗🙂🙃
So poignant. Thank you Hedy 💛
Humbled Val appreciate your comments ~ hugs hedy ☺️🤗💫

Well done, Hedy.
Humble thank you Lynn appreciated ☺️🤗🙃🙂❣️
Here and now… So simple… 🙏🏻

Do you know what often is the best route when climbing a mountain? The hardest…
Well I’ve not climbed many mountains…not yet anyways Brian ~ be safe sending hugs and joy ☺️💫🤗
🙏🏻💕
Stunning images.
So very simple to experience what’s most important. Here. Now. In this very moment.
the music was so beautiful Vicki the women did an amazing performance…it was wonderful sounds and surreal atmosphere…I worked on staying in the now…but my eyes were wondering ☺️🤓 hoping you’re doing well ~ hugs hedy ☺️🤗💫
Thanks Hedy.
When was the performance, Hedy. The musicians wore masks? Were there any covering for the wind instruments? Good captures of the audience.
last week Thursday…yes we are all mandated to wear masks unless we can physically distance…all indoor activity is masked…it was just strings…an intimate group from the ESO…this was their first indoor performance…it was strange for me…the music was so sweet…but I felt I was in another world…I found myself watching how often people touched their faces from their masks…I choose my mask😷moments mindfully…hoping your doing well…stay safe Miriam ~ hugs hedy 🤗🤓💫
I see, it was a string ensemble. Was the audience sitting next to each other? I would feel strange actually being at a concert. The last time I sang was Christmas last year. I don’t think we’ll sing this year.
A string concert seems to be doable.
I’m glad you had a good time, Hedy!
We were all distanced from each other…on stools or standing…it’s a lovely space in the art gallery…and yes singing and lots of talking seems to spread those droplets quickly…I’ve begun to appreciate string concerts…amazing harp too. It was a 45-60 minute event…and it was good to get out of the garden and see humans ☺️😷
45-60 minute concert is lovely. I love harp. We used to get season tickets for dinner shows. A harpist paid on the stage during dinner time.
The traffic is getting heavy every year so we stopped going.
We went to many concerts and operas. I would like to go again when pandemic is over. 🙂
I’ve also enjoy outside concerts…good thing music will survive…have a musical day…
Yeah, we went to Hollywood Bowl many times. Enjoy your music!
Here and Now with Great pics to share truth.
Nice Hedy!!!
Thank you kindly Cindy appreciate your comments ~ compose a beautiful day ~ smiles hedy ☺️💫
