HiveDiscoMod Curation Compilation #447

Image is mine It was a typical Monday morning for me, another day to shuttle between my 9 to 5 job and my life as a mom. I was already overwhelmed, living both lives and desperately needed a break, an escape from the school run, even if it was just for 24 hours. At that moment, in my agony, my phone beeped. The screen brightened, and I took a peek ...

I should have known the day was ruined already the moment I stepped into the bakery. Everywhere smelled of vanilla and sugar. I walked majestically to the cashier. "Birthday cake for Ada," I said, resting my arms on the counter ...

As one who loves to experience new things and go on adventures, travelling was something I did often. I loved travelling from the boisterous city of Lagos down to the Eastern parts of Nigeria. Usually, these trips of mine were scheduled towards the Christmas holiday period, as that was the time when there would be huge gatherings of relatives. Five years back, I eagerly embarked on such a trip from Lagos down to the Eastern states ...

Today I'm back with another beautiful earings, these earings are simple to make but holds a very unique charm. As all the Muslims know that only few days are left in Eid and girls are spending alot of time buying matching jewelry and shoes with their dress, i have also thought to make my earrings for eid on my own, On last Eid i have made one for myself matching with my dress and everyone loved it and even few of them asked me about the shop from where i have bought them. So let's start making some beautiful earrings with me for Eid... Procedure I have started making these earrings by first collecting the materials i have used earrings hooks, blue and red beads and also some golden beads ...

I am so excited to share this beautiful drive with you. I went to Oregon in December to visit my family. @jarvie and I took a drive over the mountain and got to drive through and walk in a winter wonderland. I love the snow! ...

As title says, I doubt you can guess what type of organism this is: Here's another one: Chances are you guessed it's some kind of sea weed, or plant or whatever... And you can't be more wrong 😆 . .. ...

Agents and architects, masterfully stoking fear and hate then unleashing their unwitting army in the direction of their choosing, Drawing imaginary lines in the sand, building silos instead of bridges, stacking stones into stories far too many are eager to read, To escape their conscription we must have the courage to experience a world opposite our own— be willing to walk barefoot on the prickly path where the pavement ends, We must be brave in ways in which we speak in echoes where silence reigns, trade the great comforts of our certainty for the sanctity of the unknown. Take me away from the world, this world, where words fall woefully short of my reality, where things unfold beyond our understanding but no one ever bothers to ask why, where stories of pain and stories of hope are written in ink that never seems to dry. ~Eric Vance Walton~ Be well and make the most of this day.

Una introducción necesaria Si hay un capítulo de esta saga que me costó trabajo hacer, ha sido esta y, no es que crea que no tenga cualidades, lo que sucede es que lo que pueda pensar que es algo positivo, para los demás puede que no lo sea. El otro elemento es que no me gusta hablar de las cosas positivas que pueda tener y, sé que es un error porque por cuestiones de educación acostumbramos a ver más lo negativo que lo positivo. Por eso, valoro tanto esta iniciativa de @damarysvibra que ya se acerca a su final. ¿Qué hice para resolver esta interrogante? ...

Miro/escucho una conferencia de la escritora argentina Leila Guerriero en una universidad de Chile. Estoy acostado en mi hamaca con mi cena ligera de hoy: un vasito de granola, pero no cualquier granola, es una que tiene pasitas bañadas en yogur. Este dato puede ser irrelevante, y tal vez lo sea, pero para efectos de esta lectura, tal vez no tanto. Dicen que todo está en los detalles, así que tal vez todo está en esa cobertura de yogur de las pasitas de mi granola ...

Un saludo para todos los integrantes de esta maravillosa comunidad de Holos Lotus, a la que regreso para responder a una de @maylink. Leyendo su publicación me vinieron a la mente unas cuantas cosas por las que expresar mi gratitud, incluso si mis espectativas quedaron espectacularmente insatisfechas en el camino. Para aligerar la historia, una imagen de a dónde me condujo. Primero un poco de contexto ...

This courtyard is home to one of my favourite pieces of street art. the well courtyard, done in an understated colour scheme, looks fabulous. If you stop in front of the image and stare into the very centre, your head starts to spin ...

Julley Everyone, Wondering around the history that has passed bye and maybe restoring the old vibes by just visiting these beautiful places I was not even sure about that such places even did exist here in the capital of India Delhi. A Beautiful afternoon here in Delhi, The season of the Summers is just about to begin, I thought let's why not take the opportunity and just explore few of the places nearby I was not sure about this place and it was somewhere in Saket Delhi somewhere around half an hour away from Malviya Nagar was this beautiful place closer to Lodhi Garden. Just wondering around this beautiful peaceful place that I was not aware of as it presented me few of the most beautiful moments that I would remember throughout my lifetime and I wanted to share it with you guys through this post.

In a few minutes I have to give back the two bicycles we rented yesterday for my neighbour and her daughter in law. (The minutes have already passed) 😁 I had to go personally, as the rental was made with the details of my identity card and those of my neighbour's son, but they carried the bikes, as you can see, to the nearest Ha'Bici station, which is in the Reloj Club neighbourhood in the Boyeros municipality. The very short video I presented to you is a record of a birthday celebration on wheels. You can probably already guess whose birthday it was ...

Good night to all my beloved hive friends ♥️ While on my way home from Bireuen city, I immediately remembered a place located in the highlands or in my area it is often called Teulaga Maneh Hill, this place is located far away in a remote village and you have to be willing to go through steep and steep roads to get there. Remembering that I still have a lot of time, I immediately took the time to visit this place. Actually, I have visited this place a few months ago, but I still remember the way to get there very well, considering that this place is in a remote village, so there must be a lot of branching roads or alleys that will make us lost if we have never been there. So, based on my experience and confidence, I immediately headed there ...

Маленьке курортне містечко, затиснуте між горами і морем. Людей мало. Низький сезон. Тут багато пальм і сукулентів, а фікуси розміром з наші столітні дуби ...

As I see it, photography, beyond being a job or a hobby, is like a game where one tries to reward oneself by capturing scenarios that may have a certain interest, where in some cases the compression of forms and harmony in those scenes converge. Whatever the motives, human beings with all the technology we have, we want to immortalize in some way what we are seeing, be it specific moments, or those journeys we take at a certain point in some place, or simply capture everything that is understood in this visual world. Therefore, this exhibition is based on the philosophy I mentioned earlier, but it also has technical aspects that can further enhance these images, whether from the approach to lighting, taking advantage of the same incidence to create atmospheres and shadows in the different scenes, or also composing with the idea of ​​capturing more contrast in what we can see and capture, highlighting elements in the foreground and giving it context with elements in the background. Well, these are topics that can refine the vision one can have when taking photographs ...
