I have certainly had a lot of new beginnings in the past few years... not just on January 1st. 2014 was bad. 2015 was... meh, confusing. 2016 will be great -I can feel it. I have grown so much and have a better understanding of who I am and what I want. And the best part... just when I figured myself out, along came a girl. To be continued.
Ab Initio, a stainless steel sculpture by Brad Howe, in front of 225 Franklin Street in the Financial District. (Ab Initio is a Latin phrase meaning “from the beginning.")

A neighbour lent me his bulldozer and I attempted to learn how to run it. I was left with this mess the next spring.
Sharon had bravely planted a few things and I cleaned up the mess. After a battle with the poplars I decided that if you want to clear land and leave it in good shape you cut the trees and wait for the stumps to rot.
In the beginning of 2014, I was traveling from New Orleans to Tahoe.
It sounds a weird idea, but I just did.
This was my first time seeing the southern United States (I only know about California).
The big impression wasn't in the amazing city, New Orleans; it was on the train from New Orleans to Los Angles.
The train was passing by Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
When I passed by El Paso (on the border between Texas and Mexico), I saw the Mexico was in front of me, and there was girl on the train was telling me that how much these Mexican people want to across the border because they want to have a better life.
The girl told me her father wants her to work at Border Patrol, because it is a honor for the family, and the salary is really good.
it makes this girl really doesn't want to work there.
However, under her father's pressure, she had to do kinda of internship there.
During the time she worked there, she had seen so many Mexicans who had life problem on the dessert when they tried to across the border.
She was thinking how bad their life could be in Mexico made them want to come to United States even they might die on the dessert.
Is the risk really worth for them to try it?
Suddenly she wants to work at Border Patrol now, because she wants to safe their life.
Of course she is not going to help them across the border, she just doesn't like to see these people who just want to have a better life die in the middle of nowhere.
She was studying in Spanish, and she wants to learn more about nursing.
I don't remember her name.
I only remember she is beautiful no matter the face or the heart (I believe it is the heart which makes her pretty.)
I hope she can make it her dream, and her father will understand his daughter is great is not because she is protecting the country and earning a lot of money, it is because her kind, beautiful heart which wants to safe the people who are in danger.
When I am traveling, I enjoy more talking to people than seeing the landscape.
I know it is dangerous sometimes, but sometimes, you will discover the amazing part of human being.

It's interesting how things come about. I'm excited to be starting a butterfly project at the Barberville Pioneer Settlement. I'm going to take all the "stuff" out there the 1st Saturday of Sept. to their open house and invite folks to fill in the blanks to make mosaics. We'll then install on the Pottery Shed. I'm excited about it! :)
So.. I put the outline on this today.. but since I just got a cast off of my right arm Tuesday and can't nip for the corners.. I thought I'd just get a friend to nip the tiles for me. And I liked the glass butterflies for inside the wings. But... don't they fit nicely in the blank spots! Things have a way of working out. :)
I'm excited about the project.. but still have a lot of figuring out to do. The building has siding... so I think after the butterflies are done on mesh.. I'll ask hubby to cut out boards for them. I know about Wedi board and could order some... but recently read about Kerdi board which is what the Colorado Mosaic Artists group on Facebook used for their butterfly wall. So far haven't found Kerdi here. So much to learn! :)
...the poppies are. One of my favorite flowers...like delicate paper sculptures. They are blooming all up and down the Gorge on HWY 14 in S. Washington
You are invited...

Beginning Middle End illustration collective was established by ten friends whilst at Falmouth University in 2012. During that year, they illustrated and hand-bound a weekly publication following a wordless narrative format consisting of three panels, aptly called Beginning Middle End.
Since graduating in 2013, five members of the collective have moved to Bristol and are working as freelance illustrators and designers: Lara Hawthorne, Harriet Lee-Merrion, Sophie Bass, Beatrice Forshall and Hugh Cowling. This exhibition will feature recent work from these illustrators as well as the books produced by the collective whilst at Falmouth.
and this is where it began and almost ended as you drove off my heart jumped from my chest in a fast pursuit after your car and got caught somewhere in the woods and lost itself. I cannot find it so we are still here, but my heart is not in it, you caused it to go. I was so attached that it followed you everywhere you went, so much that when you shut your eyes at night they were my eyes too, shutting with yours, so much that when you awoke in the morning, I awoke also. But now I am a shell and when I awake, I barely even notice it. I am awake but not able. But I am loving you, as much as ever, heart or no heart, you were everything, you had taken home in my heart, then in my lungs, and soon you swept through every vein, so much so now that I am you.
This is the start of a series that I shot with some amazing people that I met for the first time and went with me in a photo walk from Rizal Park to Intramuros to Binondo Chinatown and finally to Quiapo. I found myself surrounded with amazing photographers who embrace the philosophy and artistry of photography in their lives. Kudos to Lomomanila!

Photo session №2 after the Photo session for the contest "PhotoCity 2013". The theme was BEGINNING, so I was inspired to show a new beginning for a girl, leaving the old teenage style behind to become a young lady. After I got my photos for the contest I made myself some photos to show off my new dress in combination with one of my favorite pairs of shoes.
