On the fence

avatar

IMG_0024.jpg


Sometimes life can be thorny, hostile and spiny. And the closer you get to a milestone, the harder it may look to keep going. It has happened to all and will keep happening. The biggest the change we are after, the tougher are the obstacles we face, leaving us confused, questioning, on the fence. But we should never forget that below the thorny cover there is a juicy reward waiting for us.

Just like prickle pears :)

I like to think of life as a cactus fruit. Maybe not for some, that seem to have come to this earth to experience a soft, easy life but for all the others. Life can be sweet and enjoyable but it won't be offered easily. And we have to do our best in order to reach the juicy part, without getting hurt.

Random thoughts of a photographer, catching the morning light on a familiar route.

Maybe that was a more appropriate title for my post but then again I never go for a graspable, descriptive title. What's the point of reading a post if you already know what it is all about, from the beginning?

I say.

I prefer an ambiguous phrase with an elusive meaning, inviting you to enter the path of words that will make things clear as you cross it. Doesn't it sound more interesting?

Or maybe "message in a bottle".

An even more intriguing title, especially when there is no message for you to find. But it wouldn't be fair, to trick readers promising something that doesn't exist.

Unless you do find a message after all!

Or even a meaning to my babbling :)

Happy October to all of you and remember, don't let the prickles scare you. The juicy reward is right underneath!

The camera that I used is a Canon EOS 6D mark II with an EF 24-105mm f4/L zoom lens attached. I edited the photographs in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic

All the pictures and the words are mine.

Amazing shots... I really love the environment.
Are the cats naturally there all the time?

You know, if you're not prepared, you won't get the reward. Someone or something will bring more thorns.

That place where you live is so beautiful for meditation activity. Hahaha... greetings to all of you.

Yes, I know. Thorns never end but I was in a good mood when I was writing it :)

Cheers!

😂 What can we do? I said it from my own experience. Even in the chair where I am now there are thorns.

Wise words behind those beautiful photos. Life is usually like that for most of us, but it is precisely the hope of the juicy reward that keeps us persevering.

Hey, how is Marcos getting along with the cats?...there are so many of them and they are everywhere. Greetings to both of you.

Thank you!

Marcos has grown up among cats and he has learned to respect them, if not afraid of them. He always change his route so that he won't come too close :)

Cheers!

What a stupendous route. You're a lucky man (or perhaps just one who has arranged his life in such a way that such beautiful scenery is common, in which case, kudos).

I don't like descriptive titles either. Exactly. Why would I click. I mean, maybe in your case for the photography. But how would I know there's such beauty inside if I didn't know you and your post didn't have an intriguing title? :D

"No pain no gain", που λένε οι Αμερικάνοι χεχεχε, η αλήθεια είναι ότι άμα σου έρχονται ή τα έχεις όλα έτοιμα, δεν έχει ουσία η ζωή ούτε απολαμβάνεις τα πράγματα με την ίδια ευχαρίστηση 😁.
Ωραίες φωτογραφίες, οι φραγκοσυκιές πάντα μου έχουν φανεί φωτογενής, δεν μου αρέσουν τα φραγκόσυκα αλλά μου αρέσει να τα μαζεύω για να τα φάνε άλλοι 😁.
Πολλά γατιά 😻, όπου έχει πολλά γατιά είναι ωραία 😸😎.

Χαχα, ναι. Τα φραγκόσυκα έχουν πολλά κουκούτσια και όπως ξέρουμε πια, τα κουκούτσια δεν σου αρέσουν :)

Σε αντίθεση με τα πολλά γατιά που είναι το στοιχείο σου!

Γεια χαρά!
