  I almost touched someone today / Almost

  One of the blessings of agoraphobia – and yes, there are a few – is that it gifts you with a finely tuned awareness of safe spaces. Watching life pass by my porch was both a tantalising and yet devastating reminder of what I was unable to embrace. I couldn’t leave my house for an appallingly long time, and I’m still dealing with the intimacy that encompasses reconnecting with people. I still have a lot to learn.

  after the fire...after the rain...Regeneration.
  by Tony Middleton

  I had deliberated over uploading this photograph for sometime..I don’t expect it to ‘go well’ – But just like to add it to the series for some balance. / / Five weeks after the devastating Gippsland bushfires passed through this particular area (still burning on a large scale to the north and east) A surface trough brought some welcome rain and thunderstorms on the ranges. It was not too long after this that the sheer brilliance of the Australian ‘bush’ came to life…Here in this rainforest gully I had been unsure to it’s ability to recovery. Perhaps the fire’s intensity at this point was not as ‘hot’ as other areas.What ever the reasoning my repeat visits to this gully over the ensuing months saw the most wonderful transition. / / / / Canon EOS A2, Fuji Velvia 50. / ©T.Middleton2007 —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / / / see more of my bushfire related photography by clicking on the preview image below / /

  We're just another Dinosaur
  by Lucan Industries (© misterkhan 1995)

  I walked out of my house a few weeks back and saw a blade of grass that has seemingly burst through the tarmac. / . / I thought about it all that day. And by the evening I was in the most joyous mood. / . / Whether climate change is man’s fault or not, whether this evolution is as natural as can be or a total fuck up. All is still well. In 10 years, 10,000 years or whenever we’ll probably die out anyway. The planet will probably heat up or cool down, and they’ll be X thousand/million years of desert/ice age. Then maybe the temperature may stabilise, and in a pond somewhere a small bubble will rise to the surface, and so it goes on, another species will grow from the bedlam, maybe with bigger ears or forty seven hands. And nothing will be left of all the shit we made. nature will have destroyed it, and if this species evolves enough to have such a thing as an archeologist, they won’t know anything about us because all they’ll find are strange metal boxes, as our entire lives are on a hard drive these days. / . / We’re just another Dinosaur. / . / And this made me happy. I’m a big picture kind of guy. And yes I regularly stare into the oceans at night in silence. / . / This will probably offend anyone who thinks there’s a big cheese upstairs controlling everything, but if they can show me where in the bible it mentions Dinosaurs, I’ll apologise. / . / N.B. This has nothing to do with dead stags, and I’m ready for an attack…. / . / /

  After the Summer Fires
  by Paul Foley

  Regrowth after Bushfires in Australian Snowy Mountains

• poison & sunlit fur
  by bellmusker

  You buy your first stilettos, four inches high and fire engine red. You can’t quite strut in them yet, but you will.

  The world breaks everyone, and many are strong at the broken places. / Ernest Hemingway I hid this for a long time. Mostly because I sent it off to a publisher, but also because it’s without a doubt my most personal piece on RB. It was accepted by the publisher and recently I read it aloud at the book launch. Yasemin Sumner (who also had a story published in the same book) and Luckyvegetable said my voice didn’t tremble at all. I think they were being kind. After all, when you read your diary out to a room full of strangers, you’re allowed to shake a bit.

  Tootsie's Amaryllis
  by Bonnie T. Barry

  My husband’s paternal grandmother, Tootsie, died at the age of 95. She had a sound mind and sound body and an enduring love for gardening, something she cultivated till she breathed her last. Before she died, she gave her grandchildren amaryllis bulbs and to this day, many many years after her passing on, we still have the fruits of her labors. This is one of Tootsie’s amaryllis bulbs that is about to burst into bloom, many springs after her death.

  Regeneration
  by Deborah Parkin

  Spanish City is in Whitley Bay (UK) and was a place where tourist would flock too. It has the most beautiful beaches but unfortunately there has been a decline in the urban side – however, saying that there is apparently a commitment for regeneration. What makes me sad is that we allow things to fall into this kind of disrepair in the first place – beautiful places like this are blighted by closed down hotels, pubs, amusement parks and cafes. This is part of my college project.

  Dawn at the Pool of Regeneration
  by AlienVisitor

  Sometimes in my journey across the landscapes of the Bubble I find an image or two that I know instantly I want to take off-world. / This one of Geraldine Lefore’s was one such image. So this is a collaboration between Geraldine and myself. I used Geraldine’s image Never Too Old Movie title ” Journey to the Pools of Regeneration” The account of one humanoids trek across the world of “Kronulla Prime” to reach the pools before she faded away. / Based on a true story. On Kronulla Prime lives a humanoid race who after reaching the ripe old age of 99,begin to fade. / Not their life essence, but their bodies,when this begins to happen they must find and immerse themselves in the healing waters of the Sea of Geraldinia. They must do this once every 99 years,but this is part of the life force that lets them attain great age, sometimes spanning many centuries. Here we see one such being about to step into the Pool of Regeneration after her long journey. I could not resist capturing this moment,and with the backdrop of the ringed planet Lefoesholme and the moon Austra set against the beautiful Kembla Mountains, I will treasure this photo.

  Into The Next Sun
  by Naomi Frost

  “All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.” Buddha Another version of my all-time favourite place to take infrared. / This is on the Hunter River at a place called Hexam in Newcastle, Australia.

• the growling goddess of chinatown
  by bellmusker

  For one red moment she thinks she might kick the door in.

  Brigit (breo-aigit / breo-shaigit ) – “fiery arrow” Many myths revolve around the goddess Brigit. Some say there are three incarnations; one in charge of writing and inspiration, who invented the Ogham alphabet; one in charge of healing; and the third in charge of fiery transformation. Only call on the third when you truly need her. She’s a handful. The further adventures of bell’s brigit.

  'Regeneration'
  by Lynda Robinson

  Pastel on Colourfix paper – 70cm x 50cm I finished this painting late last year, and thought it was an appropriate RedBubble ‘upload’ given the events of the past week in Australia. It is symbolic of the Aussie spirit and the knowledge that the bush, and the people who dwell in the beauty of the Australian bush, will regenerate! I have entered this painting in a few art shows since I finished it last November, and it has won me four awards! The next art show I have entered it in is at Kilmore, which is a bit spooky, because that is where the intial fire that demolished Kinglake, Flowerdale and the Marysville area commenced. Many Australian eucalypts are dependent on fire to regenerate. This painting depicts the leaves and their ‘gumnut’ seeds from the ‘Ironbark’ species of eucalypt which are prolific on the 40 acre property where I live. The People’s Choice – Ruffy Art Show – Nov. 2008 / The Viewer’s Choice – Art by the Lake at Nagambie – Dec 2008 / The People’s Choice – Strathbogie Art Show – Jan 2009 / Highly Commended – Kilmore Art Expo – March 2009 / Placed in the Top 10 of the Painters in Modern Times ‘Green’ Challenge – May 2009 / Featured in the Painter’s in Modern Times group – May 2009 / Featured in The Best of – August 2009 SOLD from the Old Courthouse Gallery, Seymour – July 2009 It is now August, so quite awhile since I uploaded this image. I received a call yesterday from the person who bought it. They explained that when they saw it in a local gallery they just HAD to have it because it reminded them of how the bush was before the fires, and gave them hope that it will ‘regenerate’ again. On further conversation I discovered that the buyer was from Kinglake, and she had sat in her dam on February 7th and watched her home and everything she owned go up in smoke!!!! She is rebuilding, and has a special spot in her new home for this painting.

• Lucy's pretending
  by bellmusker

  Lucy’s pretending she’s not on fire.

  The first day of spring always make me want to uncoil myself from my cave and see what’s woken up, now that winter has finished. Sometimes, it’s me.

  From fell to the River Tyne
  by clickinhistory

  This is the River Ouseburn as it nears the River Tyne, in the City of Newcastle. Part of the Ouseburn Trust regeneration area as a thriving cultural centre, this was once the heart of Newcastle’s industrial past and the remains of old lead works can be still seen, which leads to the title of the picture. For this is where some of the lead dug from this landscape would ended up to me made into ingots or the final end, be it lead sheeting for the roofs of the growing roof scape of civic and religious buildings, the windows and in the ships that would sail from here into the North sea. Converted into a pinhole black and white Best viewed large Featured by the kind hosts of Black and White Photographers United Group

• red poppy song
  by bellmusker

  We know better.

  It’s Hallowe’en this weekend in the northern hemisphere, and Beltaine in the southern. It’s traditionally a time to embrace the darkness, and then release it. It’s harder than it seems, sometimes.

  Regeneration
  by Pip Gerard

  Another of my quick drawings from my journal that I scanned, cleaned up and then coloured in PS. This time i played around with halftones as the colouring for the pebbles/circles. I used both the bitmap way of half toning as well as a PS halftone filter. So because of the halftone’s… depending on the colour of the tee you choose, the design will look slightly different on each. For brilliant writing, some of it about shedding skin & re-generation, check out Bellmusker if you haven’t already.
