into the magical.

Once you reach deeper and
deeper into your reality,
you approach closer and
closer its surreal essence. *

My life is shaped by
the urgent need to wander
and observe, and my
camera is my passport.

Contentment is natural wealth.

The opinion of 10,000 people
is of no value if none of them
knows anything about the subject.

is to enjoy your life
--to be happy--
it's all that matters.

* "Surreality is the quality of being bizarre and dreamlike. It can also mean having the disorienting, hallucinatory quality of a dream.
Surreal is often used to describe something that is not real or that seems too strange or fantastic to be true. It can also be used to describe something that is so extraordinary or unexpected that it seems to defy the laws of reality.
Surreal is neither negative nor positive. It can easily go either way."

I like the idea of my camera being a passport. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, the ducklings are so cute.
ReplyDeletePixie has quite the pose, looking like royalty.
Wise words from Audrey Hepburn!
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Marcus Aurelius has it right in this era of misinformation. So does AI Chat, but without attribution to the scholars.
ReplyDeleteLight is just what photography is all about
ReplyDeleteInteresting little comment from AI — surreal could be the word of the day what with record-smashing bad air in much of the Northeastern US and of course all kinds of statements (of varying surreality) From AI itself.
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I found that Marcus Aurelius quote very strong and timeless. Photo's as always beautiful. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos and quotes. The Marcus Aurelius quote is deluxe!
ReplyDeleteI've always liked Audrey Hepburn. Thoughtful Pixie today, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteYou included some quotes that I need to ponder today. Thanks always! Hugs to you and Pixie!
ReplyDeletePixie looks likes she's getting ready to enjoy life by jumping on the back of that goose and flying away.
ReplyDeleteGenerative AI creates "hallucinations," which means it just makes stuff up and frames its fiction in language that sounds authoritative. It is definitely surreal! (Look up the case of Professor Jonathan Turley for more surreal anecdotes about the bots.)
Steve McCurry's quote is a good one. Beautiful photos and have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteSweet photos, wise words and what a fabulous header shot!!!
ReplyDeletePixie is thinking of roast goose.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that AI does not attribute the information it shares. Perhaps that will be addressed? Each of these comments really is pleasing and thoughtful and I'm just so lucky to have each of your visit. Pixie agrees! Thanks so much!
