Bit of a pun that, as Appomattox is his name. Apple looking a little uncomfortable wearing a present from Papaw and Mawma! For those who don't know, Appomattox is the place where Lee surrendered to Grant, thus ending the American Civil War.

 

UPDATE: This photo just popped into Explore on August 20th, 2009. Highest position: 144. And I was just thinking of deleting it, too!

 

I used the wonderful CoffeeShop Eye Bright for this effect.

 

Also used aFlorabella texure: tea-stained overlay, I think.

I love my birdy. I put my hand infront of her and she hops on. When I talk to her, she looks at me and seems like she is listening.

  

Four of my birdies died today.

RIP, I love you all.

Floyd doesn't really like being picked up, to him it's just one of life's little irritations- 'the humans will soon get fed up and put me down, so that I can get on with really important stuff like eating all the flowers in the garden'. Yes flowers! He particularly likes rose petals and geraniums, cleverly avoiding all lilies.

Must admit I didn't take this shot- it was taken by my step-daughter Tessa. www.flickr.com/photos/tessamorgan/

But I did manipulate it in Lightroom and desaturate it because of the bright blue shirt my hubby was wearing.

A man contemplating what pose to strike for all his social media followers to see. "This is me at lunch."

  

When the ladies at {mon tissu} announced they were going to do a blogger search for a new {mon tissu} blogger – only one, mind you – I was nerve racked. Probably like most bloggers on the fashion grid, our anxiety kicked in and I bet the majority had it in their minds that they wouldn’t be good enough for such a store like {mon tissu}. But then I started to think about it – the majority of bloggers in Second Life, whether it be fashion or just the randomness of the grid – all have such a unique style that in order to show off ‘who they are’ they just had to take their own esthetic and showcase it.

 

In order to get over those anxiety issued fears, it was what I had to do and go back to what I know and that is – writing. As a blogger prior to Second Life, writing had been an outlet. When bringing it into Second Life – it became easier to tell a story through use of pictures, and especially with the fashion of such creators as the ladies at {mon tissu}. So envision each one of us, contemplating in front of our desktops, our laptops, and iPads, the ideas that are whirling in our minds on how each individual would show off her own style. I took this to heart as the image formed in my head, as myself sat down and started to design.

 

“Katy has just returned from another long day of classes at the university that she is now attending. It would have been in her best interest to start right in on her homework, but her mind has been going astray with so many ideas and inspired pictures, that she must get started on her entry for the {mon tissu} blogger search. Kicking off her Provence Riding Boots, she settles into her chair, grabs her laptop and starts to create what she hopes is something outstanding. She knows she is a lover of platform photography (as most loner’s tend to do) and sometimes likes to venture off and find amazing sims to take pictures in that support great detail. An idea is formed and she hops onto it.

 

With a great place in mind, she hops the rains have let up and that the fields would not be too muddy. She had decided to wear her Openwork Wedges and almost balked at the idea of having them smeared with such dirt, but T-Town had the most beautiful of sunsets. A flick of her scarf over the mint color of the Lycia Tank Top, Katy smoothed a quick hand, slightly damp with nerves, over her dark Nora Skinny Jeans and took to the road, making her way down to the bridge and it’s glorious sun show.”

 

Not only is the style at {mon tissu} amazing, but it’s also versatile and can be used in so many forms from your everyday look to your city chic that, to be honest it’s made to be in any girl’s wardrobe in Second Life.

Think they live a pretty good life in the urban djungle.

 

There´s two restaurants nearby, but they don´t seem to bother the guests outdoor.

 

The answer is found on the backstreet: they´re dumpster divers.

 

Pretty clever.

I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

The water goes calm as the sun falls behind the mountains, a perfect time to stare at Mount Cook and the blue waters beneath it

Forecast is rain all day. Love to have somewhere to go in this dress. Maybe putting up the Christmas decorations will get me in the party mood.

A majestically beautiful animal, so much like us, it is amazing to see them. I really love animals, especially in those moments when they don't seem to notice us and are absorbed in themselves.

Silhouettes of contemplators looking to colored empty, waiting night fall quickly, So that they are no longer seen and can live their marginal ilusions

Silhuetas de contempladores, olhando para um vazio colorido, esperando que a noite caia logo, para que não sejam mais vistos e possam viver suas ilusões marginais em paz.
