" The Mountains of Mourne "
" I believe than when writin` a wish you expressed,
As to how the fine ladies of London were dressed,
Well would you believe me when asked to a ball,
Faith they dont wear no tops to their dresses at all
Ive seen them myself and you would not in truth,
Know if they were bound for a ball or a bath,
Dont go startin them fashions now Mary mo chroí [ My Heart ]
In the place where the dark Mournes sweep down to the sea "
"Theres beautiful girls here but no never mind,
With beautiful shapes nature never designed,
Lovely complexions of roses and cream
But let me remark with regard to the same,
For if at these roses you venture to sip.
The colour would all come away on your lip,
So Ill wait for my wild rose whose waiting for me,
Where the mountains of Mourne,
Sweep down to the sea "

{ Percy French 1896 }
For me, personally this is the most perfect love song ever written. Its such a wonderful innocent and gentle thing and there isnt one amongst us, man or woman who would not want to have the kind of love expressed in this song. This place would affect us all that way. Im incurable anyway so If your looking for any sense, move on!!! lol!
Percy French wrote many songs in his lifetime. Mostly music hall stuff and very tongue in cheek and then suddenly he produced this masterpiece. It is thought that the idea came from a series of letters that someone gave him that were written by a young farmer to his girlfriend when he had to leave NI to find work in London after the harvest had failed.
He wrote the song while sitting on a seaside bench {now famous!} in Skerries, Co. Dublin and gazing across Dundrum Bay towards the Mournes in NI. [See attached album.]
Don Mc Cleans version is said to be the best version every recorded. Id agree as it really affected me the first time I heard it and it still can move me to tears. [Link in Album}
Thats about the best I can do really as sadly Im no Percy French! Lol! I do a good version of the song though. I was nearly somebody once!
Hope you like the photo!

Model Martin McArthur
I shot Martin on the streets of Glasgow on a flying visit up there. Even though I shoot lowkey, while, we were shooting, a woman in the small crowd watching us got all excited.
"Oh My God, it's Ray Liotta!" (This shoot was while Ray was still alive)
Even though she was told he was not him, she thought he must be "somebody" as I was shooting him and he was wearing a fancy suit and was doing gangster impressions - and she concluded it must be Ray in Glasgow to make a gangster film.
To be fair in real life, Martin does look a bit like Ray Liotta, with the same kind of complexion and the model said he does get that quite a lot from other people too. Anyway, when the model told her he was not Ray in his broad Glaswegian accent, she admired how good Ray's accent was for his new gangster movie and went away happy.
The moral of the story is, if you ever met Ray Liotta in Glasgow, it was probably this dude. Honest.

I always thought when three mallards flew around at speed over Bushy Park pond that the two drakes were competing for the attentions of the single duck. How wrong can you get! At least as far as these three are concerned.
First they landed at speed in the waterway between the island and the shore where I was sitting on a bench. Then they clambered ashore on the island and disappeared from sight behind the trees. There was a lot of excited quacking and they were clearly having a great time.
Then after a while out they flew out of the bushes and ivy and plopped into the water (above) and swam contentedly away !
Although all three seemed contented to me this article I found on the web may put a ðifferent complexion on matters
Once you know how to wear the right lipstick and then adjust your Evox lip saturation and gloss effect to your personal tastes, the sky’s the limit on color combinations to create those perfect kissable lips.
Of course, one of the most important parts of the process is selecting the right application/color tone of lipstick. That said, I selected this [SENTINUS BEAUTY] Ceylin Lipstick to complement both my complexion and my other makeup choices.
For my eyeshadow, I went with [SENTINUS BEAUTY] Aileen for its beautiful fashion-forward eyeliner and glitter highlight eyelid accents that perfectly complement my accessory choices in addition to my Howlett Design Butterfly IX Chest Tattoo.
The Howlett Design Butterfly tattoo brings out the subtle colors of my eyeshadow while at once complement the color HUD choices I made for my [COSMOS] Dunja Top & Skirt.
Both the [SENTINUS BEAUTY] Ceylin Lipstick and Aileen Eyeshadow's Color HUD gives you 5 different colors to choose from.

Heard on the news recently there were 4 days in November the sun shone for more than an hour in Northern Michigan...hoping December puts the kibosh on this silver streak we've got going here
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Sonnet 18 .. by William Shakespeare
Large sow takes respite from the hot day and thirsty piglets in a scrumptious complexion bath. At 'The Farm' inland from Byron Bay.
At long last, the rain has let up and the clouds parted to give a sunrise and a photo opportunity.
The tranquil scene is something to savour - before the rest of the world wakes up and puts a different complexion on it.
The wild life is also having a fine old time before the rest of the world wakes up.
This is adjacent to a football ground with practice pitches and the pond is a quite possibly the recipient of the occasional wayward football.

Eden is looking forward to some serious beautifying action today. Just look at that hair!! Gah!! And her complexion is still uneven. Unfortunately the SJ spa is booked at the moment, but at home efforts will be stepped up a notch or two today. =)
Meninas, na outra foto esqueci de colocar o da MAC, então vou apagá-la, ok??? Sorry!
De forma geral, todos cumprem bem seu papel de deixar a pele lisinha, com linhas e poros menos visíveis, fixando por mais tempo a maquiagem. Fazem toda a diferença; deixam a gente com pele de fina/rica/chique....rs
1 e 2 - Photo Finish Light e Photo Finish Oil-Free, da Smashbox - O Light tem a textura de uma loção, é mais levinho que o Oil-Free, que é mais "siliconado". Ambos deixam a pele ótima, lisinha, suave e seguram bem a oleosidade. Recomendo!
3 - Magix, da Avon - Conhecido por todas. Se vc não pode comprar um primer mais caro invista neste, que é tão bom quanto os outros. Produtos da Avon compro quando entram na promoção....rs
4 e 5 - Instant Perfector e T-Zone Shine Control, ambos da linha Pore Minimizer da Clinique - Dois dos meus xodós, que podem ser usados antes da maquiagem e também sobre a make já feita, em retoques.
O Instant Perfector é como um corretivo pastosinho, de consistência meio seca, que deve ser usado apenas em pequena quantidade nos locais onde os poros são mais visíveis. O efeito é imediato.
O T-ZoneShine Control é um gel transparente que matifica a zona T, controlando a oleosidade. Assim que vc o passa a pele seca e os poros são amenizados. Maravilhoso!
6 - Complexion Primer Potion - Pore Perfecting, da Urban Decay - De consistência fluida e leve (uma loçãozinha branca), esse primer minimiza a aparência dos poros e matifica a pele. Deve ser usado sobre a pele limpa ou sob a base. Não é preciso tirar a tampa para usá-lo, é só puxá-la. Tem um dispositivo que impede a saída de muito produto, evitando o desperdicio. Muuuito bom, adoro!
7 - Fluido Matificante para o Rosto, da Contém 1G - Produto controverso, algumas amam, outras odeiam. Não sei se já saiu de linha. Gosto bastante dele, segura bem a oleosidade da minha pele. Acho honesto.
8 - Loção Facial Matificante, da Mary Kay - Uma loção bem fluida que tira o brilho da pele assim que aplicada. Pode ser usada também por cima da make. Muuuuito boa!
9 e 10 - Eyeshadow Primer Potion e Eyeshadow Primer Potion Eden, da Urban Decay - Primers para sombras. São fantásticos!!! Deixam a sombra intacta e as pálpebras sequinhas por hoooras a fio. Vc chega em casa e a sombra está lá, firme e forte como quando vc a fez.
O roxinho é transparente e o Eden bege, cor da pele, corrigindo pálpebras mais escuras como as minhas.
Detalhe: A embalagem é frágil, não resiste a um mero tombinho. Por isso tive que "transplantar" o Eden para esse potinho de vidro. Todo cuidado é pouco.
11 - Smoothing Primer, da Sephora - Ganhei de brinde em uma das comprinhas que fiz. A textura é semelhente à do Smashbox Oil Free e, levando como garantia o nome da grande loja de cosméticos, é ótimo. Gostei!!!
12 - Prep+Prime Face Protect FPS 50, da MAC - Sinceramente, não achei o óoooo que todas dizem. Vale pelo fator de proteção solar 50, mas não tem nada demais. Segura bem a oleosidade, como outros fazem. Não sei se comprarei de novo, provavelmente não.

Do you remember in the fairy tale?
How the wicked witches spell changed the handsome prince to a toad
Thru the power of her potion she handed him the notion
That he was lower than the dirt in the road
And thou she left him green and warted her evil plan was thwarted
When there chanced to happen by a young miss
Who in spite of his complexion offered her affection
And broke the wicked curse with her kiss
Hi All, long time no see. I was staffing at a camp this whole week so life has been pretty crazy up until now. Anyway I will get back to the dolly introductions.
Nova is an ice mermaid. Her cold hues and pale complexion bring out the chill in her season of Winter.
Likewise her tail fins and fin ears are in a mating gradient. Her top is embellished with glitter and a shimmery backing to reflect the light like she was ice. Her crown is winded with a mix a purls and dangling gems to show her importance of all the sea creatures she has in her care.
Her element is water and likewise is hardly a fan of land... or things form that world for a mater of fact. Nova is one of the boldest of the sisters and likes to prove why she is always right, even if she can't XD However she dose have a sweet side if you look hard enough. She is like deep sea treasure, all you have to do is open the lock. ^_^

Ingrid and Morticia couldn’t look more different (height, age, complexion, style, etc) but they have the exact same hair!
for some reason mattel decided to use the same fibre, color, length, and pattern of hair on both these dolls — and it’s lovely and soft, not complaining, but it just struck me as funny.
(funnier somehow because they arrived at my house around the same day)
they do also have a bit similar taste in clompy shoes, and both wear glasses. so there's that, too.
newly encarna.
i was so shock when my brother told me that the coronada visited a town near us. he told me that it can't be the callejera that he saw that time coz she is somewhat dark and her hair is different. but when i asked him what template is being used he txt me that is it the dome shaped gold and silver andas. gathering from the infos that he gave i knew that it was not the coronada... but i need to investigate. hehehe
i searched for the whereabouts of the pilgrim. after many visits to diff chapel in that town where my brother saw her i decided to head for the chancery, because i just cant find the callejera.
there at the chancery stood the coronada in her marvelous altar so i am totally correct that the coronada didn't leave her palace.
on my way home while riding a jeepney i heard the hymn of delos remedios being sung. i panicked... hahaha. i asked the driver to drop me off.
she is really there. her hair is made of abaca now. and her complexion is morena. she is still lovely but her face is somewhat a little bit sad yet still enigmatic. i personally love her previous encarna. but there is no doubt that she is still lovely...
she is not wearing anymore the earrings that we gave her, kaya di sya nakilala ng kapatid ko. but i'm so happy that the blue crystal rosary that i made for her is still the one she is holding.
viva virgen delos remedios!

LO QUE DEBE SABER TODO FOTOGRAFO CONSERVACIONISTA SOBRE LOS VIREOS:
Los víreos son una pequeña familia que se restringe exclusivamente al Nuevo Mundo. Son las aves más íntimamente relacionadas con los corvidos( cuervos) y su familia se puede dividir en tres grupos.
a) Los vireos verdaderos( género vireos)
b) Los Víreillos ( género Hylophilus)
c)Los alegrines y follajeros ( género Cyclarhis y Vireolanius)
Los víreos residen sobre todo en las partes septentrionales de Sudamerica, America centra o Mexico. Doce de las 13 especies que se reproducen en estados Unidos emigran hacia el sur durante el otoño. Unicamente los vireos verdaderos están representados en Norteamerica, al tiempo que los otros tres grupos tienen representacion en Latinoamerica.
DISTANCIA DE VIAJE: Esta puede variar desde 160 km hasta más de 4,800 km en los vireos de ojos rojos.
LIFER: Este fue mi primer encuentro con la especie y lo reconocí de inmediato. Para saber que estamos frente a un Vireo solo hay que mirarle los ojos y no niego que me recordé inmediatamente de nuestro vireo endémico, la Ciguita Juliana-Vireo nanus.
Todos los miembros de esta familia son portadores de colores apagados,complexion robusta y picos duros.Sus picos en la mayoría se caracteriza por un gancho cortante en la mandibula superior. Este gancho está ausente en los "Vireíllos".
Los vireos verdaderos se caracterizan por tener listas en las alas y anillos oculares blancuzcos o amarillentos.
La dieta de los víreos se compone fundamentalmente de insectos y artrópodos que persiguen continuamente en las capas del follaje y entre las hojas de los matorrales. La verdad que despues de miles de fotos entre las hojas, este vireo decidió percharse de forma aislada y se lo agradezco infinitamente. Todos los vireos consumen frutos en diferentes grados.
Su biología de reproduccion se conoce a partir de las especies que crían en Estados Unidos y Canada. Esta especie que estoy mostrando es capaz de cantar durante todo el año.
Una característica de los vireos es que los machos suelen cantar estando dentro del nido, como una forma de recordar a la hembra que venga a sustituírlo para el poder alimentarse.
Los que hemos visto los nidos construídos por el Vireo altiloquus o JULIAN CHIVI en nuestro país sabemos que son unos reales artistas y grandes arquitectos. Un nido colgante escogiendo a tres ramas, finamente decorado con tiras de cortezas de arboles,musgos la cual adhesionan utilizando telas ds arañas y lo decoran con cascaras de huevos de arañas y una capa interior de tallas finos de hierbas. Generalmente el detalle del forro interior de los nidos es responsabilidad de la hembra y de la parte exterior se ocupa el macho.
SU PRINCIPAL AMENAZA! EL DEMONIO NEGRO DEL PAJARO VAQUERO-MOLOTHURS BONARIENSIS.
Los vireos son enormemente susceptibles al parasitismo del pajaro vaquero, el mafioso que no hace nido,si no que roba nidos ajenos, le rompe los huevos al dueño y le pone los suyos para que le incuben y le alimenten a los hijos.
Esto reduce notablemente las posibilidades de que las crías salgan adelante.
El VIREO DE BELL, Ha sido tan acosado por el pajaro vaquero que ha aprendido a enterrar los huevos del vaquero puestos en su nido agregando mas material con el fin de taparlos y no incubar huevos ajenos.
STATUS MUNDIAL DE SU SITUACION:
DE LAS 32 especies de vireos, cinco están globalmente amenazadas de extinción. Tres especies de Vireos están en riesgo por la perdida de su hábitat. Dos especies mas de vireos endemicos como el de la montañas azules y el de Noronhna endemicos de Islas, estan amenazados.

CW has her first job, working as a stablehand for a local equestrian. Being allowed to drive the tractor is a real bonus. The work requires keeping early hours, which accounts for the less than enthusiastic expression. Her orange complexion is from sunburn, not an out of control slider. ;-)
Goddess Kali: Kali is a fierce and powerful deity in Hinduism, often depicted with a dark complexion, multiple arms, and a garland of skulls. She is worshipped during Kali Puja for protection and to destroy evil forces.
Celebrations: Kali Puja is celebrated with great fervor and enthusiasm. The main puja (worship) involves rituals like bathing the idol of Kali, offering flowers, incense, and sweets, and performing aarti (ritual of waving lighted wicks) while chanting hymns and mantras.
Artistic Representations: In West Bengal, artisans create elaborate idols of Goddess Kali, often depicting her in various dynamic and symbolic poses. These idols are worshipped in homes, temples, and pandals (temporary structures).
Cultural Significance: Beyond its religious aspects, Kali Puja is deeply embedded in Bengali culture. It coincides with Diwali celebrations in other parts of India but holds a distinct cultural identity in Bengal, where it is one of the major festivals of the year.
Apparently Cleopatra who was considered a beautiful women was also taking bath in milk, donkey milk, in order to improve her complexion... If you are ever tempted by a milk bath "a la Cleopatra", here is an article discussing the science behind the practice and its real "benefits".... I myself will just stick to the ordinary bath and shower....

Busardo ratonero
(Buteo buteo)
Probablemente, la clave del éxito de una de las rapaces más abundantes de Europa sea la absoluta falta de especialización en cualquiera de las facetas de su biología. En efecto, el busardo ratonero es un ave acomodaticia, que puede reproducirse satisfactoriamente en infinidad de hábitats y de climas, que preda sobre un espectro amplísimo de la fauna local y que manifiesta una notable tolerancia hacia el hombre y las modificaciones que este impone en el medio.

Clasificación:
Orden Accipitriformes;
Familia Accipitridae

Envergadura
110-132 cm
Identificación
Es una rapaz de mediano tamaño, complexión robusta y coloración muy variable, que posee un aspecto bastante rechoncho cuando se la observa posada. En vuelo exhibe unas alas relativamente cortas y muy anchas y una cola no demasiado larga, que frecuentemente despliega en abanico, gracias a lo cual el ave puede practicar durante largo rato un vuelo sostenido que alterna con cernidos ocasionales. Su plumaje presenta numerosas variaciones individuales, por lo que se pueden observar desde individuos muy claros hasta ejemplares bastante oscuros. No obstante, la coloración más típica del adulto es de un tono marronáceo bastante homogéneo en las regiones dorsales y ligeramente más clara en las ventrales, donde aparece una franja pectoral blanquecina de desigual extensión. En vuelo se hacen patentes unas amplias manchas relativamente claras —muy barradas— coincidentes con las rémiges primarias y secundarias en su cara ventral. Las alas muestran el borde posterior recorrido por una banda oscura, al igual que la cola, que puede aparecer variablemente barrada. El joven presenta las partes inferiores de desiguales tonos marrones y las coberteras dorsales con bordes pálidos; además, su cola está finamente barrada, pero carece de la ancha banda terminal propia de los adultos. Visto ventralmente, no se aprecia con nitidez el reborde posterior oscuro de las alas, y tanto estas como el cuerpo dan la sensación de estar más estriados que barrados. Finalmente, a diferencia de los adultos, que poseen el iris de color oscuro, el del joven es bastante claro.

The common emerald dove (Chalcophaps indica), also called Asian emerald dove and grey-capped emerald dove, is a widespread resident breeding pigeon native to the tropical and subtropical parts of the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The dove is also known by the names of green dove and green-winged pigeon.
The common emerald dove is a stocky, medium-sized pigeon, typically 23–27 cm (9.1–10.6 in) in length. The back and wings are bright emerald green. The flight feathers and tail are blackish, and broad black and white bars show on the lower back in flight. The head and underparts are dark vinous pink, fading to greyish on the lower belly. The eyes are dark brown, the bill bright red and legs and feet rufous. The male has a white patch on the edge of the shoulders and a grey crown, which the female lacks. Females will tend to have a browner complexion with a grey mark on the shoulder. Immature birds resemble females but have brown scallops on their body and wing plumage.
This is a common species in tropical forests and similar dense wet woodlands, farms and mangroves. It builds a scant stick nest in a tree up to five metres and lays two cream-coloured eggs.
Emerald doves usually occur singly, pairs or in small groups. They are quite terrestrial, often searching for fallen fruit on the ground and spending little time in trees except when roosting. They eat seeds and fruits of a wide variety of plants and are generally tame and approachable. Its flight is fast and direct, with the regular beats and an occasional sharp flick of the wings which are characteristic of pigeons in general. It often flies low between the patches of dense forest it prefers, but when disturbed will frequently walk away rather than fly. They are particularly good weavers when flying through forests. When flying they expose a buff underwing and a chestnut colour of their flight feathers.
The call is a low soft moaning cooing consisting of about six to seven coos starting quietly and rising. They also call a nasal "hoo-hoo-hoon". Males perform a bobbing dance during courtship.

It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment
The same fight that led people to walk-outs and sit-ins
It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference
Live on and be yourself
When I was at church they taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service, those words aren't anointed
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned
When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen
I might not be the same, but that's not important
No freedom 'til we're equal, damn right I support it
This ceremony is called "Gaye Halud".
A ceremony in which five or seven married women of the household grind turmeric with mortar and pestle and anoint the bride with turmeric paste. This brightens up the bride's complexion and makes her skin glow.
The tying of the nuptial knot in traditional Bengali style entails a series of elaborate and colorful rituals, which are not only enjoyable but are of great significance in conjugal life.
Been busy arranging my Sister's marriage. Did not get any chance to take photos due to that. Just the one that I took on the entire event. Please comment...
"When you are able / to break down fixed structures / and to cast away / your outer complexion / you will get sight on the inner truth / and the bright future / that lies ahead."
. As if by magic turning mud into flowers
..
"Le lotus, ami des eaux dormantes, plonge ses racines dans la fange. Le bel élan de ses tiges porteuses de larges feuilles évidées comme des coupes, la carnation lumineuse de ses fleurs ne laissent rien soupçonner de cette origine innommable. Ainsi incarne-t-il aux yeux des Chinois la pureté triomphante, qui transmue comme par enchantement la boue en fleurs"
(François Cheng, poète français né en Chine en 1929)
‘The lotus, a friend of still waters, plunges its roots into the mire. The beautiful slenderness of its stems, which bear broad leaves hollowed out like cups, and the luminous complexion of its flowers give no hint of this unspeakable origin. To the Chinese, it is the embodiment of triumphant purity, transforming mud into flowers as if by magic’.
I once wandered into an art show held near a place known as Arwen’s Garden. The gallery boasted a brilliant array of paintings, each one a window into a dream. As I drifted from one piece to another, I began to hear a whispered invitation—a faint voice calling from one painting in particular. The image depicted a garden of exquisitely rendered flowers, alive with color and grace, and as I reached out to touch the canvas, a vision of a woman appeared in my mind, just like a memory. And I knew her name: Arwen.
Before I could come to my senses, a kindly man selling the painting offered to make it mine. When I inquired about the artist, he smiled mysteriously and said, “You will never meet her. She lives hidden with her father in the depths of Arwen’s Garden—a garden said to be planted solely to protect her.” He went on to warn of two sinister perils lurking within: “First, the Flowers of Despair, whose spores can drain your spirit and leave you overcome by sorrow. And second, the legend of Butterfly Tears—if they touch you, an illusion will ensnare your life with no known cure.” With those foreboding words lingering in my mind, I purchased the painting and retired to a nearby inn.
That very night, as I found myself lost in the painting’s details, a gentle breeze whispered through the room. Suddenly, I felt a warm, tender embrace—a sensation that left me unafraid. In my mind’s eye a vision of a beautiful woman emerged, her voice echoing with a simple but profound declaration, “I love you.” In that fleeting moment, I felt as if I were standing beside her in the very act of the paintings creation, each brushstroke a caress upon my soul. Reaching out, my hand passed through a warm mist. She smiled and urged, “I feel you, my love. Now, find me.”
Her touch lingered like the softest of breezes as the vision faded—but the fire she ignited within me burned ever brighter. Determined, I traveled the following day to Arwen’s Garden. I entered through a vine-draped archway along a stone wall, only to find a narrow path leading to an enchanting field of flowers. But the moment I brushed against the first blossom, a cloud of dusty mist burst forth. Despite shielding my face with a cloth, the fine particles stung my eyes until darkness fell over my vision.
Panic and despair gripped me as I feared I might lose the only glimpse of her—the mysterious muse who had captured my heart. Collapsing to the ground, sadness nearly overwhelmed my spirit when suddenly a tender voice emerged in my mind: “Rise, my love, for I will free you from this despair—but you must hurry, for time is precious.” Fueled by that newfound hope, I scrambled to my feet, following the voice which grew ever more distinct until I sensed an unseen hand gripping my arm. A gentle figure emerged, saying, “Let me take you to a fountain; there, you will regain your sight.”
At the fountain, the cool water revived my eyes. Before me stood an unusual woman with jet-black hair streaked with yellow highlights and a shimmering green-blue skin tone, encircled by delicate butterflies. “My name is Spice,” she announced warmly. “And from this moment, you belong to me.” As she introduced her sister Julia, a butterfly fluttered close and transformed into another woman—radiant with golden hair edged by dark highlights and a complexion tinged with pinkish blue. With wings that defied gravity, Spice suddenly ascended, and then came down, pinning me to the earth with a firm grip. I could only watch, terror mingling with my desire, as her intent gaze compelled me to cry, “Stop!” Even as I protested that my heart belonged to another, her resolve was immovable. A single tear from her eye touched my face, and an enchanting melody began to be audible in my mind.
When the vision cleared, the woman I believed I was searching for—Arwen—now held me captive. In a moment of fierce vulnerability, I declared, “I found you!” We shared a passionate kiss, but in that instant, Arwen abruptly pulled away. Confused, I cried out, “What is wrong, my love?” Her answer came softly, “I am not Arwen. I have seen into your heart—I was mistaken. Your true destiny belongs with her.” Turning in the direction she indicated, I caught sight of Arwen in the distance. Then Spice, with a sigh of resignation, whispered, “I release you. I never could've held you for long; your love is too strong, destined for Arwen, my Queen. Please forgive me.”
Reeling from the revelation, I quickly turned to the real Arwen—the one crowned by the gentleness of butterflies, with flowing dark hair and hints of pink. With an assuring smile, she beckoned me, “You have overcome the trials of true love. Come, be with me forever.” Taking her outstretched hand, our lives changed in an instant. Now, together we soar under the endless expanse of the sky, savoring the nectar of our love and the warmth of the sunshine.

This girl is 24, from Liberia, and fair in complexion; she was a medical student but gave up after two years study. Her father, Dr. Dion Chris Aburey ($5.5m) was Director of Dion Industry Company, and was, according to her email "killed by armed rubber". The mind boggles - was he hit over the head by a contraceptive sheath, i wonder? The picture was found somewhere on skyrock.com
This model's picture is also used by Jennifer Aburey - same pack of lies at Happiness. This one is a member of www.linkinn.com, where she is "Semmy"; oddly enough, from Senegal!!
And Esther Bemba Saolona a 23 year-old "fair in complexion" orphan from Congo, who was adopted by Mr Jeannot Bemba Saolona, who had amassed $7.2m in "an International Bank"

Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
For this feature, I wanted to push the Atlas line into a realm of hyper-realism that only S-Rank can provide. The new Zafir skin in Tone 03 is a masterpiece of texture
I’ve layered it with the Zafir HD complexion, forehead wrinkles, and tired under-eyes to give the Paxton head a mature, battle-hardened authority. This isn't just a face; it's a history
Mignonne, allons voir si la rose
Qui ce matin avait éclose
Sa robe de pourpre au Soleil,
A point perdu cette vesprée
Les plis de sa robe pourprée,
Et son teint au vôtre pareil.

Sweetheart, let’s see if the rose
That this morning had open
Her crimson dress to the Sun,
This evening hasn’t lost
The folds of her crimson dress,
And her complexion similar to yours.

Merci pour vos favoris.
Many thanks for your faves.
Los galgos o lebreles, pertenecen a una raza canina que se caracteriza por ser muy ágil, ya que puede alcanzar hasta los 70 km/h. Su complexión delgada, sus piernas tan alargadas y su amplio campo visual, los convierte en los perros ideales para competir en carreras de velocidad. Aunque hay muchos tipos de galgos, todos comparten esas similitudes.
El origen de esta raza canina se remonta a la época faraónica de los egipcios. En el arte egipcio hemos ido descubriendo que estos perros aparecen en grabados, esculturas y pinturas. Hace miles de años a estos animales ya se les usaba por su velocidad.
Hoy en día, la raza del galgo se extiende alrededor de todo el mundo, si bien hay una gran parte que habita en el sudoeste de Asia. Los lebreles no son solo animales para competencia de velocidad o para cazar; también son grandes mascotas. Es un perfecto animal de compañía para vivir en casa, pues es bastante tranquilo y tímido.
