Those are iPhone shots, yep. Thanks for your kind words and support, Kate. You work is inspiring and I learn a lot each time. Yes, June is for Moon, no iPhone pics though, need a proper lens for that, ideally a tripod too. :)

I’ll leave the mom shots to you then 😉

Thank you, friend 🩵

I had to do a double take on these asking myself the same thing. Are they photos. Amazing!

“bind us to the deep”

Love that line, Alexander

Out of all the photos you have shared these are my favourites. Every single one is absolutely stunning. I can see so many discreet images in the second one that it probably says a lot about my psyche 😁. Thanks for sharing them 🙏

Also, I’ve never been the sharpest tac in the box, but if you need any advice or just want to talk about stuff, then you know where I am 👍🏼

First, thank you Dan for you kind words and offer. Regardless, we should hop on a call one of these days and discuss cinematic flavours of month and raise a glass to celebrate our journey. Maybe Nathan wants to join, too. ;)

I am esp. glad you find these images stimulating, they are among my favourites to for exactly the reason you state, so many things to see. It's wonderful.

Thanks again for being here!

we exist to evaporate,

breath by breath,

into the cosmos.

I have been thinking about this so much lately, and you have handed it to me again this morning. As if planned. Something must be going on. And your photos -- Goodness! I can't even imagine how they were made. Both beautiful and scary at once. Everything you gave us today is absolutely new.

Thanks, Nathan. Ah, I still remember that first Office Hour chat we had. Thank you for being here and all your support, and, of course, your writing, which is enchanting and deserves all the views. Yes, reflecting is a necessity, reflect and (re)focus. Glad you like the images. Puddles for some, whole worlds for others.

Yes, good memories! Good times, those early Office Hours days.

And of course, I'll always be here :) After all, I must maintain a certain level of defrag...
