HiveDiscoMod Curation Compilation #432

[picture is mine]. I felt my heart jump to my stomach the moment the doctor announced "Prostate cancer," he repeated for the second time. His voice was steady, but not devoid of kindness. "He's lucky, we caught it early ...

No one ever saw me It all started with a simple bubble on the right thigh. It was a small bubble, red, full of water. My fingers squeezed it and yes, it was water. Then, within seconds, I saw how I had other bubbles on my arm, belly and shoulders ...

The final exam stage was an endurance race. We had to study all the material of seven courses of a full semester. Late nights until the wee hours of the morning in the lonely corridors of the university, where apart from our voices we could only hear the chirping of crickets and water frogs. I remember that in those days I got a very strong allergy when I ate rice with shrimp at dinner in the dining hall ...

Many things in life happen in mysterious ways. It turns out that one day I wished very strongly to have my own house in Havana. I think that at the moment I wished for that something happened that involved a lot of emotion. I won't go into details ...

Before my father's birthday, my sisters and I agreed to share or chip in for his birthday celebration. We also agreed to surprise him. He will be turning 69 years old. I was confused about what I should pledge since I won't have received my salary by then ...

]( Grenada... There are too many memories and mixed feelings what we lived there, especially for me. This was one of the Spanish cities that I was able to explore the most, and we were there for three days and two nights. There were several musical presentations, walks, Sierra Nevada, the Alhambra, my album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran 😅 and this concert, the longest of the whole tour and where we shared the stage with another choral group ...

The nice thing about the electricity going out is that you can use it as a completely legitimate excuse for sitting still and doing pretty much nothing! Which can be a lovely opportunity if you have not a care in the world and no obligations constantly poking at the edges of your awareness... but otherwise pretty frustrating. Which is a long winded way of saying "nice, but I don't have time for this" ...

That was a long time ago. I would have still be at primary school. They were good times life seemed pretty easy back then. No air conditioning or ceiling fans in the class rooms, Summer was just hot and you opened a window or wound down the window in your car and turned the fan on ...

From the times before I was ten years old I only have a handful of fuzzy images. I do remember that at that age my father already had a car and we could go out on school vacations. Our vacations began the first days of August, by that time my mother had already taken care of the itinerary and had prepared everything that was needed, some kitchen utensils, daily and bed linen, the first aid kit with essential medicines, and the inevitable gifts for loved ones. Most of the time we made a trip to the west of the country, to the places where my parents were born and where a good part of the family was ...

How did I hear about the Hive blockchain I am very new to Hive, so everything still feels fresh. It's been about two and a half months since I joined, and I was introduced to it by @bigHungryPanda, who has been on the platform for around three years. He first told me about Hive a long time ago. I remember him showing me some of his posts, maybe early last year but I didn’t take it seriously ...

Beautiful Fall, yes Fall is arguably the most beautiful or scenic season of the year. Here are a few more captures from an epic hike last October. Tall trees make for great shadow photography, especially in black and white. Yellows, Blues, Greens, and Oranges, which are your favourite Fall colours? ...

Talia is one of the muses that I have on my agenda that flew away. The ones that return but that life has already let that stage pass, the ones that make us see that times no longer coincide, because we are busy with other things in our life, but treasuring the sessions we did together. We both liked to take photos with colored gels. I have several sessions with her where after taking the "serious" photos, we moved on to the more relaxed part and I tested (with already known results) the color combinations that we liked the most: primary blue with filler yellow or all red ...

The photos 📸 are my entry to the monomad contest from @monochromes and @brumest. Greetings friends of the blackandwhite community. My route back home when I'm in Havana is usually quite fruitful. From the moment I leave home I already have an idea in mind of what I want to achieve in photography, although I rarely materialize it, at least it serves as motivation ...

Today I want to share a nice cycling ride filled with lots of wild crocuses. I left the city and headed south. The weather was wonderful and the sun's rays were shining and warming the air. I crossed Chengene Skelе and headed towards the lower part of Bakarlakа to see what wild flowers I would find ...

Went for a stroll yesterday, just wandering around the neighborhood. Still not sure how exotic Beechmont is but it definitely manages to live up to the wild from time to time. Does this count as exotic or just Mad Max? Was moseying my way down Southern Parkway when I looked across the street and saw what appeared to be an engine block sticking up from the back of a car ...

hello! Sometimes, all it takes is a few small details to elevate a party’s atmosphere. In this case, it was just a handful of balloons distributed among the guests during the "hora loca," adding movement and vibrant color to the entire scene. En algunas fiestas solo hace falta que agreguen pequeños artículos para dar un mejor look a la fiesta ...

An evening walk last week led me to meet these cute creatures: leafcutter bees hanging out in the meadow. Some perch by nibbling on grass stems, which is their usual habit. Meanwhile, a potter wasp was building his little home. It's a simple nest made of clay, consisting of several small chambers ...
