It’s just one more good-bye to life before.
This is now “normal”.
How long before I can’t buy food at all?
I know this is coming.
This is what people want.
They support it with their behaviour and choices.
So be it.

I don't know much about cameras but you sure are good at making yours do tricks. You people who just walk, walk, walk-walk-walk like it's no big deal. Show off.
That part about people look at you weird when you appreciate weird things makes me wanna go off on a tangent about how as kid I was the most extroverted ever like extra extravert even early in my career and how now with each passing day I go waayyy the other way like intro-introvert but I don't wanna get all tangenty.
I don't know that much about cameras, I just flip around a few settings, shoot 300-400 photos at once, hope for the best, and see what I get once home. If there's nothing good, it's back out to shoot a load more of photos until I get what I'm after. I'm surprised you didn't make comment about waterproofing cameras again, LOL. Okay, I'll admit I've been playing with photography since age twelve. It's a practice and developing one's eye.
I like it when you get all tangenty. That's called tangential thinking. How you went from extreme extrovert to extreme introvert boggles my brain. How on earth did that happen?
Thanks @dandays. I always love your comments. Kinda missed hearing you snark about water and my camera in this one. I did give you an opening too. 😂😂😂
It's your fault. You painted such a vivid display of falling girl who managed to smack every.single.rock en route to the laundromat I assumed you were graceful with your camera like drunk guy who smacked every step and handrail on his way to the seat and didn't spill his beer.
🤣🤣🤣
"The Camera"
was not on me that day. I'm smart. No acrobatics when I have the camera. Go slow. Be careful. Pay attention. If I want to tattoo myself with bruises, I do that without the camera along for the ride. Last year I decided to punch a tree with the meaty part of my palm to slow my decent (a little martial arts thing). A bit of bruising, but not much on that part of my hand. Takes practice to build up the tissue to withstand the impact. Tree Punching
Yay! 🤗

Yeah Nine, you just transported me to this walk which was awesome considering it's freezing here and I also want to get out and take beautiful photos. Your writing is fluid and tinged with melancholy. I like it.
Have a great day.
Andy
Wow, freezing where you are. What country are you in? I know the feeling about wanting to get out to take photos and having the cold discourage that. Thank you for what you've said about my writing, I like that. Thank you also for checking out my post.
I hope you have a good day too Andy. 😊
Hey Nine, thanks for writing back.
I'm in South Africa, we have generally mild weather here, so this is pretty freaking cold for me. I must admit that the cold weather creeps into my skin and then I just can't motivate myself to go outside. I wish I was like my daughter, she is impenetrable when it comes to the weather. 3 degrees? No worries, she'll be out there playing up a storm not feeling the temperature or wind at all.
While I was reading your post I was thinking back to certain "environmental groups" that I had to work alongside and the issues that come with it. It's very sad what you say, also tends to become the project of the highest bidder and you have to lick that person's boot - something I just don't do. Needless to say, I was not overly well liked in that arena as I'd choose the options best suited for the actual area and not what the rich kid wanted to do in his/her new found "playground". So I get it. I'm no longer part of any of those groups or groupies - my integrity just won't let me be a part of any of it.
Anyway enough of my rambles. Have a good one Nine.
Cheers
Ah, South Africa! It makes sense how you'd feel the chill then. I think children, well, they don't pay as much attention to those things like adults do. I know I didn't, but now I do. LOL.
So you've had the lovely experience of these groups too. Good on you for standing your ground. It's exactly how you've described. I don't do boot licking either, that's just devaluing oneself to serve other purposes. Not a healthy way to be in my mind.
I've also encountered the "not well liked" experience many times, but I don't care. I have to be true to myself or I can't sleep at night. Also not part of these groups now for several years. I'm done with all that. Best I be different as I walk about the world, no group needed to make a difference by doing it that way.
Loved your rambles and thoughts. I relate. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers!
Thank you @stayten

Your writing is so poetic. I really enjoyed reading this piece from you. It’s amazing that you have such a place full of beautiful scenery to visit and relax. These photos are incredible!! I loved every single one of them. I’m not even brave enough to walk through a forest but your photos made me want to go explore one. 😊
I can imagine how disappointing it is to see all that wasted food. Is this resuscitation being advertised enough? I wonder how many people in need know this is available for them.
I started appreciating the smaller things in nature once I became an amateur photographer. The littlest things get me excited now and I love trying to capture them.
Thanks for such a wonderful read ~
Wow, wow, wow, thanks! I've never written like this until I joined Hive. It means a lot to hear that. I'm happy you enjoyed my photos. I wasn't pleased with several of them (utter crap), lol, but managed some that were good.
This place isn't scary at all in terms of "forest". You'd probably like it I think. There are other photos I took, but they clearly identify the area, so I couldn't post those. If you saw those, you'd see what I mean about it being like that. That said, I'll look for the roughest trails, the most woodsy parts.
They probably have let it all go because of the restrictions, that's my guess. There's a tiny window of a little less but it looks like that's going to come to an end very soon. Regardless of the situation, it's a waste of food. I guess it's the way I grew up. I was taught not to waste anything.
Photography will do that to you. Anything creative will draw your attention to all kinds of ways of seeing in fact. That's wonderful that you had that experience with photography. I love hearing these things from anyone.
You're welcome, thank you for reading and commenting. 😊
You’re welcome! 😉
Oh wow we’re in the same boat. I didn’t realize how much I liked writing or how creative I could actually get with it until joining Hive! Yay! 😃
Oh okay I see. Yes, definitely understand you can’t post those photos that reveal location (I refrain from doing that too).
It’s heartbreaking seeing so many nice things come to an end due to all of these new restrictions.
I too was raised not to waste food. Although I break that training from time to time but really try hard not to.
For sure! It was really enjoyable ~ 😊
Thank you! That's too funny, we're in the same boat. Frankly, I've always been oriented towards visual art and if not that, music. I never thought I could write, never mind something decent. It's been quite a surprise to go down this path and I'm actually enjoying writing for the first time. I can see you had that discovery too. Also, I have to admit, I am getting inspired by people on Hive, in terms of ideas and so on. This seems to happen with others also. What a delicious unexpected experience (since I thought, writing is going to kill me, that will be hard but going to try anyway, LOL).
Yes, location protection. I usually don't think of that until after I've taking photos and have to edit or not use certain ones. I'm glad to hear you do the same. It's nice to have that company, since sometimes I feel sad I can't post those ones.
Restrictions yes, new ones now today I saw on waking. I let go of a lot of things last year, more this year, and still more to come. It's obvious things are going to keep plowing forward like this, so I figured best I grieve the losses, let go, and move on. The hardest is watching others struggle and suffer.
I had the feeling you were also raised that way about not wasting food. It's impossible to not be human, things slip at times. I can always hear my parents in my head when I do that though, so as you do, I try hard not to. 😂
Lovely to chat with you, get to know you a bit, and hopefully more as time goes by. 😊
Well done, those sort of entitled pricks can shove off.
I was recently in Aspen, a town I like to describe as nauseatingly wealthy. Peeps there be walking down the sidewalk coming at me in a group, taking up the whole sidewalk. The polite thing to do would be to shift into single file as I approach, thus sharing the sidewalk with me. They hold rank. I keep walking at them; we're getting awkwardly close. Still they refuse to share. So finally, when we're just a couple feet apart, I just stop in my tracks and stand there staring holes through their heads. They finally get the message and realize I'm not a doormat, and they walk around me. Fuckers. You gotta stand up for yourself.
Sweet pics.
My sentiments exactly, lol
I like you. This is exactly what I do where I live as scads of people do this here. I tried many techniques for years but I found the most effective and favourite is the stopping dead like that. 🤣🤣🤣
Some of my favourite people are ones who have an extreme attachment to one side of the sidewalk or the other, just won't give ground, even if it means walking in the road or on some lawn.
Other favourites are:
The tourist approach...look at all those tall buildings way, way up there (as I crane my head in whatever direction and pick up my pace). For some reason when people think that someone is out of it and not paying attention, they move.
Staring at the palm of my hand while talking (I'm not with anyone) and appearing not to see or hear anything around me.
Thanks so much, happy you liked the pics!
Have you tried the madman approach? It's the one where you whip out your knife and start waving it around and screaming at nothing in particular. In my experience it is highly effective.
That would be a take down, ie, cops, charges. In Canada, you're not allowed to carry sharp pointy objects unless they are harmless, so there's that too. Now, if I were somewhere else, that would be most effective. LOL
A question I get a lot is "how did you know that?"
My answer is "I read the sign"
Perfect message for today. I wonder how many understood the whole of it?
Your writing is a joy to read. Hope all is well in your world!
Too funny 😂
Thanks, I wonder that too. I see you're adept at reading between the lines. 😁 Thank you for noticing that. You'd be the first person that's made reference to the things I, um, embed in my posts.
Thank for your supportive words about my writing. It's so encouraging to hear and spurs me on. It's been a very peaceful day, most of the time it's like that, since I create it. I hope you're having a good one also 😊

Don't give up, sow some food seeds in the ravine, perhaps? I just love that burly tree bark photo, that would make a good stock photo
It's all highly polluted, not safe to grow anything to eat there. The small food garden there is in a raised bed arrangement for that reason.
Glad you enjoyed the burly bark on that tree. Thank you!

I find this post very interesting and horrific based on the fact that some of the photos were so cute and flashy while some of the photos were very gross! But all thesame it was entertaining and that's so cool.
Thank you. Which photos did you find cute and flashy and which did you find very gross?
You are welcome.
The 'Bubble Reflection and the Creek Connection' was so gross. But the flowers and birds🐦 photos were so gorgeous.
Hahaha, I thought it was maybe those ones. Thanks for answering me. I can see why you would perceive them that way, so I get it.
I'll tell you what! You thought right.
The pleasure is mine because i got the privilege to witness that with my mobile phone. Bravo.🤲
Thank you, 😂!
You are welcome.😊
Very nice post!
Thank you for checking my post out!
👍
Why aren't you allowed in the farmers market? Nobody can stop you. As for the public garden, can't the homeless be invited to tend it, and enjoy the harvest?
I loved the nature walk, thank you :)
The restrictions here are the problem and they won't respect my exemption, which is in the by-law code. I'm not going to argue with anyone, so I just won't go and let them discriminate against me. I didn't even go there once things became restricted almost two years ago now, I asked someone how it was there, so I didn't waste my time going to be denied access to buying food there. With how things are going here, it looks like it may change to my not having access to buy any food for the same reason. So not a fun situation for anyone.
They would never allow any homeless in that garden. They are the "unacceptable" people. This garden is for those who are involved with the programs there and those tending the garden.
Glad you enjoyed the nature walk. It's a nice break for me to go on those hikes.
Oh, the mask requirement? If it comes down to wearing one for a few minutes or starving, you should consider it. Starving is sort of fatal!
That and more. They do not respect my health conditions. I can't wear one. I'm not going to get into why, but there are very serious reasons why I can't, plus years of medical documentation to support that. They don't care. I am self-governed, always have been, so that is how I live my life.
If they want to starve me because of it, I say let it happen, go for it.
If you have the paperwork they can't refuse you! You can fight this...
I'm not interested in fighting. My preferred style is to walk away and remove all my support. No drama to deal with. I figure out a solution for myself that works instead. I walk my own path, always have.
Just don't let them cause you to starve! Maybe buy online?
I don't do online shopping, never have, never will. Yes, I'm a complete weirdo. I do look out for myself, but I will also decide for myself what is right for me. I will not give power over me to anyone, never have, never will.
Good for you :) I know you will find a way to get what you need :)
Thank you. Not everyone likes that quality about me, but I don't expect them to either. I will find a path somehow, yes. 😊 Maybe ask for some help from the cemetery spirits? 😂😂😂
Unfortunately they don't have any food! Send them to empty out the farmers market? It would be fun to see those people take off!!! Then you can browse in peace and pay what it's worth instead of being ripped off too.
!PIZZA and !ALIVE
@nineclaws! I sent you a slice of $PIZZA on behalf of @wrestlingdesires.
Did you know Pizzabot speaks Spanish if you use the command ESPIZZA? (8/10)
I love your idea, "send them to empty out the farmers market" cheers
That would be hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣 Can you picture this as a story? I think I'm starting to. 😂
Thanks for the Pizza and Alive!
That would be so fun to see 🤣
Your Alive will show up soon, they paused the bot due to the hive.engine issue yesterday
!PIZZA and !ALIVE
It would, I visualized it. 🤣🤣🤣
No worries on the Alive, and thanks for the Pizza. You know I'm just hanging out because it's fun and maybe if there are enough of the right lines write some weird story? 😂
Did you post that weird one yet???
Noooooo.... sobs
I got sidetracked with a few things. I just need to prepare the photos. It should be up by Saturday. 😂
lol ok, I'll keep bugging you!!!
Please do! I'm enjoying our dialogues. 😊😊😊
I'm having fun too :)
I thought so, good stuff!!!
