For anyone who follows my photostream, you might be aware I am very fortunate to be surrounded by some wonderfully artistic and creative friends. This includes my very dear friend Maria who creates some truly beautiful and amazing cards from recycled paper and cardboard.
These are just a small selection of Maria's cards I have at my disposal. Several of these have been designed for particular friends of mine, and even use pieces of Christmas wrapping that they have used to package gifts to me in Christmases past. I have sent or given these to my special friends this festive season.

I think it's always important to be vigilant of what you're doing and aware of your surroundings.

This gecko kept a cautious eye on me as it hugged this banana leaf.
This is my second shot for the weekly theme of "contact," the second of four themes with which Myla Kent and I have chosen to challenge ourselves.
I like the large version of this one.
Thank you for stopping by.
Thank you Chris Lenz Buscaglia
October
O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away.
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes' sake, if the were all,
Whose elaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost—
For the grapes' sake along the all.
Robert Frost
I found Fidget lying in the pasture yesterday afternoon, unable to get up, wagging her tail weakly as I hurried over. She was one sick doggie.
We lifted her into the Jeep and took her to the emergency vet clinic a couple of towns south of us.
After hours of tests and rule-outs, it turned out that she had a galloping urinary tract infection. She improved enormously within a few hours of starting on Bactrim.
Back home, I made her a fresh haypile in the pasture, and she tucked right in. It's what she wants when she's not feeling well.
Fidget has had a rough year, but she's always a good soldier and a sweet, stoic patient. She's seen above giving Molly a smooch this afternoon. Later she licked Molly's face as M was pressing the plunger of her allergy shot.
She's four-and-a-half years old.
When you go walking, train your senses, see what was previously hidden. See the sights, colors, shapes, textures, hear the sounds, subtle noises, smell the floral fragrance wafting through the air, feel the wind on your face, stop at the bakery and taste some fresh baked goods. Take time to tune yourself in to your everyday surroundings, you'll see what you are missing.

The Crespi Lacrosse team is walking around their home track on February 14th to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. My boyfriend Blake Gaytan who is on the team told me about their cause and I really think what they are doing is an amazing thing. I along with the Lacrosse team as well as many other participants am going to also walk for this cause. Since I know that all of you cannot be there to walk with us I would really love if you could visit the following website to get more information and pledge.

i decided to delete the other one because this one is not as dark and bleak looking...and i think it has more of a symbolic message of hope. so in case you didn't see the other one and you have no idea what this is about. i'm interning at a battered women's shelter this semester and i'm helping them put together a course to educate emergency workers on what the signs of domestic violence are. i wanted to find a good intro image. this is a combination of two images.

This is the photo I managed to squeak into the GCS Steel Giants show in Pomona.
I was made aware of this place by an acquaintance. He received permission from the owner for me to photograph this site. I understand now that there is some mental instability at play and I don't visit it.
I'll just note that it was the home of a photographer. The owner has apparently personal feelings against his long deceased relatives who lived here. They've been gone for over 40 years. The owner allows all to slowly decay into ruin for personal reasons.

Most people living in the UK will have a good idea of what my home county holds for the visitor, even if they've never been here. "Hmm, Cornwall," many of them say to us when we're on our own travels. "Long way down the country to get there. Nice beaches. We went to Newquay one year," or "We like to go to Stein's in Padstow. Have you been there?" In spite of the fact that we have been in possession of an unused voucher for the place since July last year, we still haven't been there. It may be a statistical fact that half of the celebrity chefs in Britain have a restaurant somewhere within 30 miles of where I live. Personally I favour Greg and Lou's fish and chip shop in Redruth, two miles from home, or Manha Spice in Illogan. As far as I'm aware, neither of the proprietors of these establishments have held down a regular slot on prime time television, but then their prices don't involve parting with family heirlooms to pay the bill and their fare is more than good enough to please my simple palate as well. Nobody has ever mentioned Redruth or Illogan in one of those awkward moments on foreign soil when strangers attempt to engage us in conversation about where we come from. I like it that way. I should stress that I have no affiliation with either establishment and will not benefit financially or otherwise if you take this as a recommendation to visit them. Although they could do me a chip butty and a Chicken Jalfrezi if they like. Not at the same time though - I'm not entirely unrefined.
Still, one thing the wider world is right about is our coast. Surrounded by the sea on three sides and attached to the rest of England by a handful of miles in the north east corner it's stunning, whatever the season. Wild, windswept and remote it's a place that visitors have been coming to for far longer than any of us have been on the planet. Enormous sandy sweeps backed by dunes, small rocky inlets and coves, and pretty harbours filled with fishing boats draw them in their droves. Generally speaking, people know we have a coastline.
What we're less famous for is our rivers. The country isn't long, wide or flat enough to have many broad sweeping meanders plotting their way through sunlit meadows past nodding willows and sleepy villages. But some of the ones we do have are spectacular. The River Fowey (pronounced Foy - just to set you on the right foot with the locals) crashes down from the wilderness of Bodmin Moor, making its way southwards until it meets the sea at the town of the same name (also pronounced Foy). I can sit and watch it happily for hours.
And that's exactly what I did on Saturday at Golitha Falls. I was here a couple of months earlier in the same position, taking more or less the same picture. When I got home I was disappointed by the glare on the surface of the river and decided I must have forgotten to spin the polariser. Cursing myself for a schoolboy error I vowed to return, only to find that the problem persisted. I'd evidently done everything I could have the previous time, but failed to appreciate that the filter wasn't going to remove all of the glare. I guess it's something we're all just going to have to live with.
In a couple of weeks I'm going to head there again. While many of you live further north in the UK and are seeing the colours change already, the leaves are still mostly green down here in the far South West. I want them to be red, brown and gold, but it seems I need to wait a while longer. I love having a reason to need to go back.
THERE'S NO GLORY IN STOLEN WORKS AND YOU KNEW IT !
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are people lurking around flickr stealing photos and posting them as if they're their own works on other sites, thinking they will not be caught up .
I did found one of my photos in an Internet property / travel sites before. There's no even linking my photo back to my flickr. It doesn't need great looking photos stolen, depending on what suits the thieves liking as those photos stolen where not looking stunning either. Just be aware of this friends .
What I'm angry at , they just don't acknowledge the owner or at least linked them where they got it from.
Although it happened few years ago, I know it's still continually happening . It might be with your photos this time.
Instagram and other sites has thieves , so as flickr and posting them where they think you can't track them down.
