Smurfs Log: Holding hands

* I usually post my weekly photo later in the week. However, I'm not sure if my mom will still be with us. She has a strong heart and isn't ready to let go yet…

A black and white photograph captures a poignant moment of connection between two people, centered on their hands.

A smaller, more delicate hand with long fingernails and visible wrinkles rests inside the larger, more weathered palm of another hand.

It highlights the beauty of aging and the enduring nature of human connection through simple, physical contact.

It's mad out there – lots of new species in the garden, but many of them proving photographically elusive in the warm, sunny conditions 😬

But it's only mid-April – there's time ... 🕰️👊

Among the cooperative ones: a very pretty juniper shield bug (Cyphostethus tristriatus; 🇩🇪 Buntrock [meaning "colourful skirt" 🙂]).

A shield bug sitting on a leaf, seen from the front and above. The bug has a mostly dark green head and pronutum, with small wrinkles and dimples. The eyes are grey-ish, and the antennae are light green with red-brown ends. The scutellum is long and a mix of green and yellow. The wing cases are red-brown with black spots, and the wings themselves near the end of the abdomen and clear, with a little orange. The legs are light green.

I was up late last night toying with these windows so I would be ready for today 😊
#Photography #NYC #AltText #StreetPhotography

A color photo taken on a vertical angle of the windows of three different buildings. The the upper left is a flat gray brick building with a few windows and then sticking out at an angle is a set of rectangular Bay Windows that would give those apartments nice rounded views. On the top of those two bay windows is a balcony with a tree sticking out with red leaves. Next to that is a thin dark building with four square windows going down vertically that look light pink from the sun. Going down vertically the building next to that has a large dark balustrade on the top and is made of orange/yellow bricks in the shape of Arches with dark windows inside the arches. Next to it can be seen the sliver of a building with something red sitting on top in the distance. The upper right hand corner is light blue sky with wispy pink clouds. The triangle in the bottom left-hand corner is the top of a white brick balcony that has dark green leaves and branches with purple leaves overhanging it.

Côte d'Abraham, Québec City. April 2026.

#FensterFreitag #WindowFriday
#quebeccity #quebec #architecture #photography

Photograph of the upper parts of buildings of different periods and styles, showing windows and roofs, taken from a street higher up. In the foreground are older houses: the one on the left, dating from the 19th century, has a rust-stained white sheet metal roof and a gabled window; in the center is a narrow green building, from the early 20th century, with a very large window with tiny panes and a sort of track fixed by several branches at the very top; and on the right is another 19th-century house with a steel-colored sheet metal roof and a cone-shaped weathervane on its roof. In the background are a three-story 20th-century block of red brick with rectangular windows, the square tower of St. Roch's Church, and the very recent Hotel Pur.

Photographie de la partie supérieure de bâtiments de différentes époques et styles, montrant des fenêtres et des toits, prise à partir d'une rue plus haut. À l'avant-plan, des maisons anciennes, celle de gauche datant du 19e siècle avec un toit blanc en tôle taché de rouille et une fenêtre à pignon, au centre un bâtiment vert étroit du début du 20e siècle avec une très grande fenêtre à tout petits carreaux et un rail fixé par plusieurs branches tout en haut, et à droite une autre maison du 19e siècle au toit en tôle couleur acier, et une girouette en forme de cône sur son toit. En arrière-plan, un bloc à trois étages du 20e siècle en briques rouges et fenêtres rectangulaires, la tour carrée de l'église St-Roch, et le récent Hotel Pur.

Flâneurs

Terrasse Dufferin, Quebec City. April 2026.

#monochrome #blackandwhite #quebeccity #quebec #architecture #photography

Black and white photograph of several people strolling on a large wooden deck, located at the foot of a hotel whose castle-like facade is visible on the right, and two circular pavilions on the left and in the background. The photo is taken vertically, looking slightly downwards in the same direction as the wooden planks, giving an impression of length and creating a vanishing point towards the walkers in the center.

Photographie noir et blanc de quelques personnes flânant sur une grande terrasse en planches de bois, située au pied d'un hôtel dont la façade ressemblant à un chateau est visible à droite, et deux pavillons circulaires à gauche et au fond. La photo est prise à la verticale en regardant légèrement vers le bas dans le même sens que les planches, donnant une impression de longueur et créant un point de fuite vers les marcheurs au centre.

A black and white photograph of a double window in the stone wall of a chapel. In the lower left corner is a one-way sign with the word "An ti fa" written in black on the white arrow pointing left, and a sticker with the words "Shao - Rafak - Skum" (street artist names) at the end of the arrow. The window has a simple, straight wooden frame and ornate wooden grilles inside, formed of small triangles. The stone of the wall is pale, its cracks and texture visible.

Photographie noir et blanc de la fenêtre double d'une chapelle dans un mur de pierres, avec en bas à gauche un signe de sens unique avec le mot "An ti fa" écrit en noir sur la flèche blanche pointant vers la gauche, et un collant avec les mots "Shao - Rafak - Skum" (des noms d'artistes de rue) au bout de la flèche. La fenêtre a une cadre simple et droit en bois, et des grillages en bois orné à l'intérieur, formés de petits triangles. La pierre du mur est pâle, ses fissures et sa texture visibles.

A black and white photograph of a cappuccino in a black cup with a white interior, viewed from above. A sip has been taken, and the brown foam has adhered to the rim. The cup rests on a wooden counter, its grain and a crack clearly visible, against a window sill. A plate with napkins is partially visible to the left. In the background, the paved street stretches out, with a pedestrian of whom only the legs and a shopping bag are visible.

Photographie noir et blanc d'un café cappuccino dans une tasse noire à l'intérieur blanc vu du dessus, une gorgée ayant été prise et la mousse brune ayant colllé sur le bord. La tasse est sur un comptoir en bois, les veines et une craque bien visibles, collée sur le bord d'une fenêtre. Une assiette avec des napkins sont partiellement visibles à gauche. En arrière-plan, la rue asphaltée et pavée, avec un marcheur dont seulement les jambes et un sac d'emplettes sont visibles.

St. John's Gate

Quebec City. April 2026.

#doorsday #monochrome #blackandwhite #quebeccity #quebec #architecture #photography

Black and white photograph of a pedestrian gate in a stone wall, part of the fortifications of Quebec City. On the left is the larger gate for vehicles, and on the right is the wall itself with a commemorative plaque. Through the gates, St-Jean Street is visible, lined with historic buildings, parked vehicles, and numerous pedestrians. Small patches of dirty snow melt at the curb, wetting the cobblestones and asphalt.

Photographie noir et blanc d'une porte pour piétons dans un mur de pierres faisant partie des fortifications de la ville de Québec, avec à gauche la plus grande porte pour les véhicules et à droite le mur lui-même avec une plaque commémorative. À travers les portes, la rue St-Jean avec ses bâtiments anciens, des véhicules stationnés et de nombreux piétons sur la rue. De petits bancs de neige sale fondent en bordure de rue et mouillent les surfaces de pavé et d'asphalte.

Eastern Gray #Squirrel on our back fence. Very cold for them here this week, had a few nights go below freezing, more to come they say. I put out peanuts on our back fence feeders every morning, and there is a competition with the blue jays and woodpeckers and each other to snatch them up. They go quickly.

I'm slowly starting to share more images from my multi-year project "This Land Remembers", an odyssey into the last remaining ancient native woodlands of Scotland (like this one from a brilliant Autumn morning in 2025). I also have an upcoming exhibition at Gallery Photiq this April/May featuring 12 prints from the project, including this image.

snowstorm

#monochrome #blackandwhite #winter #photography

A black and white photograph of three conifers and several shrubs huddled together in the middle of a field covered in deep snow during a blizzard. Falling snowflakes are visible against the darker trees. Behind them, other trees are lost in the storm, as if in mist.

Photographie en noir et blanc de trois conifères et quelques arbustes collés les uns sur les autres, au mileu d'un champ couvert de neige épaisse, pendant une tempête de neige. Les flocons qui tombent sont visibles contre les arbres plus foncés. Derrière, d'autres arbres se perdent dans la tempête, comme dans la brume.

#FensterFreitag #WindowFriday #montreal #monochrome #blackandwhite #photography

A black and white photograph of the arched glass ceiling and large round window in the wall at the far end of a large building, somewhat reminiscent of a cathedral. The ceiling is supported by an exposed structure of arches fixed to the wall on either side, and four cylindrical pendant lights hang from the ceiling. The large circular window has a grid pattern on the inside, and the windows of the adjacent building are visible through it.

Photographie noir et blanc du plafond de verre en arche et de la grande fenêtre ronde dans le mur à l'extrémité d'un grand bâtiment, qui rappelle un peu la forme d'une cathédrale. Le plafond est soutenu par une structure apparente d'arches fixées au mur de chaque côté et quatre lumières suspendues de forme cylindrique sont accrochées au plafond. La grande fenêtre en cercle a un quadrillé à l'intérieur et les fenêtres du bâtiment voisin sont visibles à travers.

Under the snow

Place Ville-Marie, Montreal

#montreal #photography

Photograph of the decor of an underground bar with a snow-covered glass ceiling, showing giant tropical plants surrounding a black structure where the word "BAR" is affixed. Strings of lit lights are attached to the ceiling, and three lampposts are positioned among the plants: one lit on the right, another unlit in the center, and the last on the left with its globe missing. Strange contradiction between the tropics and winter.

Photographie de la décoration d'un bar sous terre avec un plafond de verre couvert de neige, montrant des plantes tropicales géantes entourant une structure noire où les mots "BAR" sont fixés. Des fils de lumières allumées sont fixés au plafond et trois lampadaires sont posés à travers les plantes, un allumé à droit, un autre éteint au centre et le dernier à gauche avec le globe manquant. Étrange contradiction entre les tropiques et l'hiver.

Photograph of a golden sand-colored ceiling formed by panels creating four inverted, somewhat flared pyramids, whose apexes are offset from their center, and whose edges are illuminated by neon or LED lights. The combination with other beams creates plays of light and color on the surfaces.

Photographie d'un plafond de couleur sable doré formé de panneaux créant quatre pyramides inversées, assez évasées, dont les sommets sont décalés par rapport à leur centre, et dont les arêtes sont illuminées par des lumières de style néon ou DEL. La combinaison avec d'Autres faisceaux crééent des jeux de lumière et de couleurs sur les surfaces.

I'm excited to be here on Mastodon! Here's my #introduction - I'm a 5th Generation #Colorado native and have been doing full-time #photography for a while. I cut my teeth in photography while #climbing the highest 100 mountains in Colorado. I love #LandscapePhotography and co-lead an international photo competition - NLPA - we're dedicated to realistically edited #naturephotography. I am looking forward to engaging with everyone here, away from the cesspool that Meta has become! Cheers!

A breathtaking sunrise from 14,000 feet in Colorado's San Juan Mountains. Jagged peaks stretch across the horizon under dramatic red and orange clouds, showcasing the rugged beauty of this alpine landscape.
