Dear Friends,

Good Evening to you all..

tonight is just a simple shot from me.. love the time at this hour where minutes from it will be dark.. i was walking where i always stopped at the same spot and waited for flocks of egret flying home.. always the same time.. i tried to capture the flocks many time but always blurred not good for tl.. hehehe..

love the clouds shown here.. infact these past 2 weeks very cloudy in Kota Kinabalu.. view from my village.. At the left across the river on the hill stood the DIGI Transmission Tower.. only resized and reduced noise using CS2 NeatImage and frame..

i can't think of a title so i just put the title from Eileen Bennett's poem here.. she is from the beautiful country of Ireland.. love the poem..


Life Is A Dance

One of the most important lessons I've learned is that life is a dance.

Sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow. When you lead, you do it gently, firmly and clearly, and when you follow, do you so with trust.

The amazing thing is that each one of us is involved in many dances at any one time - and we are the leader in some and the follower in others!

Some dances are slow and majestic and others are crazy and frenetic and still others are somewhere in between.

Some last a lifetime - others are over almost as soon as they begin.

Most of the time we manage not to fall flat on our faces, which is even more amazing and requires some pretty fancy footwork.

And sometimes we do trip up or our toes get squashed and we get hurt - but the important thing is to keep on dancing - no matter what.

Just keep dancing!

Even if you can't hear the music or you just don't don't feel like it or you have acquired two left feet, keep on dancing!

Reminds me of the words of a Garth Brooks song: 'our lives are better left to chance. I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance.'


hope you like it.. thanks for looking..

cheers, terry

Hello Terry


Beautiful look of these clouds slightly yellow
I like the landscape and of the details of the silhouettes.
Excellent sky and warm atmosphere.
Congratulations my friend...
Good weekend!

Sérgio

well this is the perfect time to shoot all things outside. clouds here are fantastic.
they are large in volume enough to reflect the last rays of the sun.
a perfect way to end a day and to welcome the night.
nice work Terry,

salamat!
