HiveDiscoMod Curation Compilation #416

I dragged myself into my apartment, past the sitting room and kitchen. Playing a blind eye to the dirty dishes on my sink and the empty takeaway packs littered around. I walked straight into my room, stumbling over a pair of shoes I had worn yesterday and had kicked off just by the door, but I didn't care. Pushing aside some dirty clothes on the bed, I threw my handbag miles away, kicked off my shoe and let myself fall on the bed ...

Photo by Tima Miroshnichenko Some believe in luck but I believe in hard work. Unlike other children I started my basic education from a public school where the pupils were left at the mercy of fate to learn. It was while I was in primary three that my mother thought it fit to transfer me to one of the private schools around due to my lack of improvement. At primary three I couldn't write my name without copying from my note, talk more of knowing how to read ...

I didn’t know why every girl in Lagos likes to buy their fashion items at the popular Eko market when they can get it at their environment for almost the same price. Well, maybe they just want to explore by going to the market or there is something I am missing. “These items are very fine but I bought this particular bag two weeks ago which means I jumped on the trend before you,” I can’t lie about the fact that I loved all the accessories Mirabel bought and they were all of good quality. “I’ve told you several times to save your money and when Fortune and I are going to Eko market, you’ll tag along,” I still do not believe how my friends will buy the same thing I bought at five thousand Naira for three thousand Naira ...

Hello, everyone. I know this is not usually the type of content to see here, it's definitely not the type of what I usually post here but I wasn't sure where else to post this 4 part series I have been working on. If admins don't approve of this series, please let me know and I will happily remove it or if I am not around. I am fine with it being muted ...

I always find the logic people use to understand the rich and powerful and famous, or saints and sinners for that matter, kind of amusing. In general people do a really bad job of really putting themselves in others shoes…. Like they are abysmally bad at it. I have my faults too, and there’s no way I can guarantee that I understand what motivates anyone, but at the very least I think I am aware of my blind spots and I look at myself and the people I love without rose colored glasses ...

Parents are blessings for a child because parents are those people who take care of us, teach us manners, protect us from danger, and make us qualified enough to survive in this world. They don't hesitate to sacrifice their own desires for our betterment. Raising us is not an easy task. To raise us, they give their best effort, and from the financial perspective, it's also a big deal ...

We had New Years Day at Hervey Bay on the Frazer Coast of Queensland and it absolutely poured rain for there parkrun but the rest of the trip was fine. Mudjimba Beach parkrun on the Sunshine Coast was another good day trip. Our Tassie loop trip started with a few days in Sydney to Visit family, this was our first flight since covid. It was my first time to Sydney Olympic Park and we did the parkrun at Wentworth Common near the old brickworks ...

This is my post for memoirmonday 50 prompt What Sign(s) from the Universe Did You Totally Ignore at First? How did you finally “get the message”? I am not sure at what age I started to feel and do this but the earliest I remember I was about 8 years old and I started to go into our house and as I touched the doorknob, my knees started to shake. Scared I did not open the door but my little brother did and my little sister followed him inside, and as soon as they went inside a civic cat sprayed them ...

Most of you know that @zakludick was in hospital recently for a seemingly harmless wound that turned septic and caused cellulitis a very dangerous bug to spread. After being on oral antibiotics, then intravenous antibiotics, and both not effectively clearing the infection, surgical intervention was required to debride the wound. . This has meant that, as "chief medical consultant"😜, in our household, @zakludick 's post operative care has become my responsibility ...

```16/2/25``` ¡Bienvenido a un nuevo post, querido Hiver! Ahora que lo veo, ¡qué título tan pretencioso! Pero no, este post está lejos de ello. Quiero contarte sobre que no te equivocaste en elegir el amor por sobre otras cosas ...

Hola amigos de Holos&Lotus El amor que se celebró durante San Valentín; y la amistad "el amor sin sus alas", me ha llevado a recordar un fenómeno muy emotivo. Todos hemos escuchado la frase "daño colateral". Es una frase típica de la jerga de guerra. La primera vez que escuché su opuesta: la maravillosa expresión "belleza colateral", como un fenómeno emocional surgido después de un enorme daño, fue en la película de igual nombre: Colateral Beauty (2016) Digo maravillosa porque resalta el sacrificio, el tiempo y la energía que dedican tres amigos para ayudar a un cuarto a salir de la desesperación ...

La calma de momentos que suavizan el ambiente La serenidad de instantes que deberían ser eternos La dulzura de un clima que invita al deleite En medio de los paisajes más hermosos que se puedan contemplar. Un despliegue de recuerdos hacen fila en la mente Una suave lluvia comienza a caer en las montañas Una rana que salta en un charco y no se amilana Sonidos relajantes que hipnotizan mientras una agradable brisa sopla. Los sonidos del agua cayendo sin cesar en la vegetación Regando la plantas del campo que parecen agradecerlo un montón El verdor y frondosidad de árboles que parecen estar sonriendo Ves a los pájaros anidando y luego escuchas truenos a lo lejos. A medida que llega la tarde las nubes siguen ocultando el sol No me canso de admirar el cielo, el paisaje y el hermoso panorama Mi mente no se colma ante tanta belleza y paz ante mí Me siento como si estuviera en un paraíso sin fin ...

Whenever I go out on the street, I have many ideas on how to materialize those ideas I have for photography, but it doesn't always fit with what I see on the street, everything just comes up as I see everything. From the ordinary, which is no less, but rather has its own magic and value to what could be like a photograph with a certain value, although that circumstance also adheres to the way I can compose and create that perspective or rather capture that perspective. And I say capture, because logically all these images are there and already exist, it's not that I wanted to put such a thing in such a place, what could have been modified is the influence of light, because in my case I really like to highlight that incidence of light in generating elements such as shadow, dark tones or that contrast between the environment and the motifs that are in the same scene, which can be from human motifs to simple things, animals or even some vegetation. Today I bring you this compilation of photos, which have that purpose for the reasons stated above, it is the simplicity of those ordinary things turned into images, which may have some meaning or not necessarily have to express something but rather rely on some of that aesthetic ...

The Spanish Square(Piazza di Spagna), the Spanish Steps(Scalinata della Trinita dei Monti) and a French church(Trinita dei Monti), some of the most sought after places in Rome, Italy Hello travelers I come again in your midst with a special blog, that's what I like to call it, because today I have chosen a kind of meeting place of several objectives. But by the time we got here, I think you already know that Rome has entered our hearts, so by the time we reached our destination we got lost in the narrow and cozy streets. We strolled through the winding streets and our first stop was Piazza Borghese, here we could admire the architecture of the buildings, but we could also take a break at the very nice terraces/restaurants, something caught my attention, a tree with a stone sculpture on top (I couldn't find any information about this work). I saw that if you are a bit more romantic or if you don't want to walk a lot (in Rome you have to walk a lot) you have the option to see the sights of this area from a horse drawn carriage, I think it would be an experience not to be missed (I couldn't find time for that) ...

I lead a community outreach effort at a CicLAvia event recently, capturing images with my iPhone 16 that exemplified the diversity of participants. Our volunteer hiking trail maintenance and repair organization wanted to raise awareness of our existence and enable interested parties to join in on our efforts. CicLAvia is a community strengthening event that occurs eight times a year at different locations around the Los Angeles basin. A five mile continuous stretch of public roadway is blocked off for six hours, allowing human powered participants move freely as they enjoy being outside and among others celebrating open spaces and each other ...

Greetings, Fellow Monochromers And Other Wavespotters! Observing that water from a little closer this time and thinking of what might we do with it. Some people have a good idea about that. This is my entry to the monomad daily challenge ...

]( ▶️ El barrio donde vivo se ha convertido en una total exploración visual con el diario vivir. Transitando cada calle del barrio he podido percibir muchas texturas, además, un contraste entre lo natural del campo y el asfalto de la modernidad. La resistencia a la transformación se respira en la ciudad, lo rural y urbano coexisten de una manera que ha llamado mi atención durante mucho tiempo, tanto que en esta oportunidad me he permitido explorar esta singularidad que terminó en un experimento audiovisual. La conjunción de elementos han inspirado mi creatividad, un ejercicio de exploración visual donde me olvidé de "reglas" y solo me dejé influenciar por lo que me trasmite el entorno ...

While i was checking my hard drive, I realized I hadn't shared the second part of this balloon themed photoshoot. I previously showed you the female models, but not the men. So here it is, a creative photoshoot with great results! I did this shoot with models from the agency I'm working with ...
