Sophia Loren and Cary Grant in Washington DC during filming of HOUSEBOAT (1958). They met during the filming of THE PRIDE AND THE PASSION (1957).

A single cloudberry. 🥺️✨

I so love the gentle swirl on the 80-200mm f2.8 Pentax FA* lens. 🤩 Is really perfect for these kinds of images. Used my Pentax K-1 II for this photo.

I miss the days I wandered the thick brush

I miss wandering the rocky beach and smelling the sea salt brush against my nose with gushes of wind

I miss exploring magical areas, little forest kingdoms and villages.

I miss being in awe of tree growths intertwined into great art sculptures or how the big leaves of different bushes had geometric designs or the variety of rocks and the stories they tell or pictures carved into them

I miss wondering about the animals daily life habits or weird thoughts of how they perceive life

I miss having my children wander with me to experience the greatness and beauty of the earth.

I feel stuck in the monotony of "people" things and not having childlike fun and wander.

We used to build dams and homes, boats out of twigs, rocks, leaves and some toys.

The children pretended many different scenarios of dinosaur scapes, army or figures building homes, fighting, or just simply had a water fight or wanted to fish, or wanted to walk along the river.

The list goes on

And while they are growing in other ways within people setting, communal setting, school setting it just feels so restrictive

I would like to say I enjoy my summers as much as I can. I know a lot of people love fall because they get more extreme heat or they just love it. We get too long of cold days and very dark nights. Our daylight is 4 hrs during winter for what seems like an eternity. So I love late spring/ summer - flowers blooming, the busy life of migratory birds Robin's and hummingbirds, the many dragonflies zipping around, the long daylight then finally the berries coming in, with the ending of fish spawning out. Just a love tribute to Alaskan summers.

The moon was so big the other night. I didn't have my camera to get detail. My camera phone is ok for colors but sucks in most ways lol
